The death of Nellie Grant Sartoris, which
is announced by the cable dispatches, will be
a surprise to nearly every one on this side of
the Atlantic, as her dangerous illness had
not been announced previously. 1t is but a
few years since she loft this country happy,
bright-faced bride, followed by the congrat-
ulations and best wishes of hosts of friends.
But few weeks ago little daughter
second child-was born to her, and it is
probable that puerperal fever terminated
her young life. Gen. and Mrs. Grant, now
in Japan, will havr the sincere sympathy of
the whole country.

Il Legal SNARL.

An Estate Unsettled for Over Twenty-Five
Years.
Lo, for these many years the estate of
Samuel G. P. Craig has been entangled in
the red tape of the probate court. In 1863,
one of the present acting judges of our city
undertook to disentangle the estate, but the
task was too much for his legal ability, and in
1866 he resigned the work and Parker Paine
became the administrator, giving bond to
the probate court with William Lindeke and
Nathaniel Mclean as sureties for the faith
full performance of his duties. For nine years.
or until 1875, Paine toiled and labored over
the problem, but year by year the snarl of
the red tape became more and more COM
plicated, and the decision of Judge
Simons now on file says in sub
stance that Paine solved the riddle
by converting about $4,000, the great bulk
of the estate, to his own use. In 1876, after
Paine's death, Judge E. Q. Palmer was ap-
pointed as administrator and vigorous steps
were at once taken to settle the estate and
to recover from Paine's bondsmen the
amount withheld by Paine. Asult was COM
menced against Lindeke, and after Journey
to the supreme court, it has returned, and
next October it will be tried at St. Paul. In
the meantime Mclean had died, and John
D. Pollock was in 1871 appointed by the
probate court of Ramsey county as the ex-
ecutor of his will, He also gave a bond as
executor, with William Constans and VIM.
Donaldson as sursties. The probate
court decided that Pollock, as
executor of the Mclean estate,
since Mclean had signed Paine's bond, must
pay to Palmer as administrator what Paine
had converted of the Craig estate. Pollock
refused to obey this order of the probate
court, and then another knot was tied in the
legal snarl, and more mortals we're made un-
happy by Palmers getting permission of
court to sue Pollock and his sureties, Con-
STAINS and Donaldson, each of whom are sued
for 81 ,391.O4, the sum claimed from Pol
lock. The suit against Constans will also
be tried at the October term of court.
Yesterday the probate court, at the in
stance of Palmer's attorney, made an order
directing Pollock as executor to inform the
court what he has done with the money and
property of the Mclean estate, and to show
cause why he should not be removed as ex-
ecuter on account of his failure to obey the
orders of the court.
Chas. N. Bell is the attorney of Palmer as
administrator, and the fight he is making is
evidence that the red tape of the Craig
estate will soon be disentangled.

GRANT is to have an organ at Washington,
to be backed by G. w. Childs and Robson,
the latter of whom has invested eighty thou
sand dollars in the enterprise. It is safe to
say that he will never see his money again
unless through some fat contract that he may
award if he is replaced at the head of the
navy by Grant once more.

THE RHODE ISLAND SCANDAL.

The tongue of rumor has been busy for
the past week with the private character OF
three prominent persons in our politics
a distinguished Senator and an ex-senator
and his wife. The escapade has been told
and retold by the newspaper gossips, and
finally the woman has published her version
of the affair and tells the world to do its
worst. Charity for woman, even though
she may have erred, is characteristic of
mankind, yet when one who has for so long
set at defiance the rules of propriety seeks
to vindicate herself by blackening the
character of the father of her children she
deserves but little sympathy. Mrs. Sprague
was ambitious to shine in social and politi-
cal life as queen. She had all the beauty
that would command admiration; she had all
the intellectual force and all the polite ac-
compliments necessary to place her in q
foremost position among the women of
the land; by her marriage she Sc
cured all the wealth needed to maintain her
in her somewhat extravaganza notions. She
thought to become to the United States what
Madame Recamier was to France during the
Revolution and subsequent to the fall of the
first consul, and might have succeeded but
for few untoward circumstances. In the
first place, she could not recognize that soci-
ETY. here is different from what it is in France
that woman cannot take prominent
part in political intrigues, and at the same
time maintain her social standing. She came
to sense of this fact after the loss of her
husbands fortune, but this knowledge only
made her holder in her firtations-
were, to say the least, very suspicious with
Senator Conkling in particular, and made
her the subject of much invidious comment.
She pleads as an excuse for this conduct the
fact that her husband had become dissipated
and had neglected to provide her with
money to meet her expenses. She
admits, however, that he had
been forbidden to draw from

Fine Animal PAINTING


Mr.. H. II. Cross, the celebrated animal
painter, of New York, who has been spend
ing several weeks in St. Puul, treated few
of his friends to most pleasurable surprise
yesterday afternoon, by giving them an op
portunity to inspect the latest production
of his brush. The painting is for Mr.. C. A.
DeGraff, of the Lake Elys,an st ,ck farm, and
represents the celebrated stallion Alexander,
record 2:295, and RAILROADS. worthy son of a
noble sire, in harness to q sleigh, and driven
by Col. A. DeGraff, tho . .eition of the
horses indicating that the Colonel was send
ing them along at about 2:4O clip. MIR.
Gross has given to the country great
number of notable paintings OF animals, but
we venture the assertion without fear of con-
tradiction that the present painting is his
best production. Alexander is given the
post of honor by being placed in front, and
any one familiar with the horse and his
style of moving would instantly recognize
him among thousand, were ali else of the
painting obliterated, SO correct is the color
ing, style of moving, etc. The portrait of
Col. De Grail is also most admirable like
ness, true to life, while the various appoints
ments OF the outfit, the sleigh and robe
sprinkled with snow here and there, the trees
nnlng the roadway with the opening looking
through upon the outlsying marsh and ice &c
covered Lake Elysisn, in fact everything
about the painting, in inception and execu-
ton, denotes the work of the true artist.
The canvass is about five by five feet three
inches, with a massive gilt frame. The
GLOBE suggests that Mr.. DeGraff give the
public chance to enjoy his rare painting
BY placing it on exhibition, for day or two
ut least, at the State fair. AS both Alexan-
der and Railroad will be present upon the
ground, q fair opportunity would be given
visitors to compare the originals with the
painting.

BUTLER announces that he is going to
pitch into the privileged classes. We con-
clude from this that he is going to pitch into
himself. He has been privileged to manu-
facture bunting without opposition for the
past twenty years, and to make general
nuisance of himself. These privileges ought
to ensure him the most thorough raking
over by the future candidate for governor of
the old Bay State.

The British parliament has been prorogued
until such time as it may suit Beaconsfeld
to call it together again. This act was not
unexpected, for the opposition to the govern
ment have become altogether too officious of
late in propounding conundrums to the min
istry as to the conduct of the war in South
Africa, the Egyptian complications, and 9th
or things. These inquiries have become
wearisome, and the best way to put stop to
them was to prorogue parliament. Whenever
the matters in dispute are settled, we presume
parliament will be re-convened.

DEFAULTING TREASURER.

Ihe County Commissioners of Kandiyohi

The little village of WilImar, Kandiyoh
county, is scandalized over the .defalcation OF
one of its most popular citizens and trusted
officials. The official is Mr.. II. Sanderson
| county treasurer. Mr.. II. Sanderson's
popularity is shown by the fact that be is
serving his third term, and also by the fur-
ther fact, that while grave suspicious have
been entertained, for two years past, of IT.
reguiarltles in his office, and known as
1act Tor fully year. there
has been an almost mani.
nous disposition among the officials and
citizens generally to shield him, and give
him an opportunity to make his deficit good
| and retrieve his lost honor. Recently State
Examiner Knox visited Willmar. and in ar
aiming the books of the treasurer. soon dis
covered the deficit, which fact was promptlv
reported to Gov. Pillsbury, in whose hands
the matter is now for determination.
In the meantime the county commits
sioners, at meeting held the
18th inst, made an extensive
examination of the treasurer's books.
which resulted in finding that Mr.. Sanderson
was short in his accounts to the amonnt of
$l,423.O7, which fact is reported to the Gov
ernor as follows, all the commissioners unit
ing in the report:
We, the commissioners of Kandivohi conn
ty. respectfully lay the following facts before
you and through you before the governor.
relative to the accounts of II. Sanderson. the
treasurer of this county.
We have at different times, in obedience
to law, examined the said treasurer's books.
accounts and funds, and in every instance
we have found the funds short in consider
able amounts. At our examination of the
county Treasury on the 28th of July last, We
found the said treasurer to be short in the
amount OF $l,292.1O. This, however, was
not the true amount of his deficiency on that
day, the balance in the bank to his credit
being considerably less than the amount
stated by the treasurer.
we nave, therefore, to-day resumed said
examination, with the following result, viz:
Here the statement is given in detail.
Inere Is now no discrepancy between the
BOOKS OF the financial officers the treasurer
IS, therefore, short in said amount of
$l,423.O7, and we hereby request that the
facts IN the case be laid before the governor.
and that such action may be taken as shall
90 deemed best for the interest of the county.
MIR. Sanderson is further liable to the
county for the whole amoant of uncollected
personal taxes for the years 1876, 1877 and
1873, ne having not only failed to collect by
distress, but even to make return as provided
by law.
Mr. Sanderson is a Scotchman, and as said
above, was personally highly respected, and
much sympathy is felt for him, as it is gen.
orally believed the Irregularities are entirely
due to his too easy disposition in the matter
OF accommodation of friends, negligent
habits and Incompetence.

DAvID,s PRAYER.
Which He Ussttes With C0nklinO IN For
harding to tho Lord.

The Minneapolis Tribune has been deeply
interested in the little affair of Prof. Conk-
lings. It has. had no end of advice and
comfort for Conk.; in fact, it has bubbled all
over on the subject. This is not surpris-
ing. David is we'll informed on mat
ters of State such as interest Prof.
Conkling at this crisis, but we are
surprised that he should have forgotten to
furnish The Professor with a prayer for the
occasion. Readers of the daily papers can
not have forgotten David's memorable
''prayer," which he published some four
years ago. It was an outburst of penitence
which reflected great credit on David. ne
frankly invited the Lord to think of him
as he ought to be instead of as he was,
and apparently staked his chances of the
future on this dodge. There has never been
any reliable information as to the effect
"David's Prayer had on the party to whom
it was addressed, but as David evidently
desires to help Prof. Conkling out of his
scrape he certainly ought to give him the ben.
eft of the prayer which he put forth for
himself. We accordingly quote from David's
paper of that date, and present it as his
tribute to Prof. Conkling at this time:
My Prayer.
Thou, who know'st the worst we are,
And the best we strive to be-
Thou who dost our virtues rare
And our myriad vices see
Thou who hast the secret keys
Leading to the Utmost heart,
Barring all it's mysteries,
All its fraility-all its art
Lord! Thou know'st that would be
All that e'er the best have been
Most content when nearest Thee
Most abject when lost in sin.
But Thou know'st, Oh Lord! as well,
All the tempter's cunning art,
All the lurking wiles of hell
Laid to cnsnare the thoughtless heart:
And, Thou know'st, O. Father, too,
That the strongest will is weak,
And the best we ever do,
Is but seen in what we seek
Not in what we do perform
That were record far too small.
None could e'er Thy wrath disarm,
Or pardon gain, if that were ali.
So, pray Thee, when at last
am summoned to thy throne,
And thou lookest O 'er my past
What I've thought, and what I've done
Thou wilt heed my trials, too
Run my dark temptations DER,
That if graces I've but few,
Thou may'st see strove for more
Strove against hayward heart,
Tethered to a yielding will
Strove to gain the better part,
And, though baf1ed, struggled still.
| Therefore, Fa Their! implore,
Not the justice deserve,
But the mercy held in store
For those who strive evil tho they swerve.
| Only can I ever claim
Ev'n the smallt st love from thee
If, O'erloOking what am,
Thou seest alone what would be.

union "run our dark temptations
o'er,'' while announcing that they were

German professor. David ought to take 8
