CONFUSION AT THE BREAKFAST Ia
BLE.-Housewivcs in the far West
don't know as much ayout the native
majesty of the oyster as we do, and
this ignorance gave rise to the follow
ing occurrence related by the Burl-
ngton Hawkeye man:
1t vas rather late yesterday morn
| ing when Mr.. Willaby got up, and he
was vaguely conscious of a confused
recollection of things, but he didn't
say much and tried to appear as
cheerful as he knew how. Presently
breakfast was announced, and the
family took their places at the table,
but Mr.. Willaby was amazed, as he
sat staring at six little round wooden
boxes Of axle grease ranged solemnly
in front Of his plate.
Where under the sun, he said,
with a puzzled intonation, what in
the thunder-where did all this axle
grease come from, and what Is 1t for?'
oh, is it axle grease? asked his
wife, with charming simplicity and
Innocence, just a triAe overdone.-
'You said last night when you brought
these cans home that they were oys-
ters and would be nice for breakfast.
thought that you had batter eat
them right away, as they didn't smell
as they would keep very much long

And then Mrs. Willaby removed
the cans, and her husband sat and
looked at the teapot and thought so
long that his coffee was cold rs rich

He Met HER AT TIE FAIR.-At
the Children s home fair, last night, a
nice young man. saunterng around
in the vicinity of tie floral depart
ment, was suddenly accosted by a
fair yonng girl, who held out a pretty
nosegay to him and said:
Allow me to offer you this button
hole boquet, sir, and she presented it
with bewitching grace.
"A thousand thanks, said the young
man bowing quite low, and taking the
flowers from her pretty fingers.
Now, who the deuce is this fair
Flora, that she should give me but
ton hole boquet?' was the question
the Young man asked himself, as he
contemplated the rosebud, the hello
trope, the geranium leaf, and the as
mine spray. The rose-that's for
love- mused the young man as he re-
luctantly turned to SO, but blessed if

the young lady, calling gently after
him.

change, rushed out on the sidewalk,
battered his head against tho side of

Il SMALL BURGLARY.
The Millinery Store of Mrs. Redmond In
vaded Friday Night.

The Millinery Store of Mrs. Redmond In
vaded Friday Night
Report of burglary was made at police
headquarters, yesterday, as having occurred
the night before. Mrs. Redmond, milliner,
No. Sc West Third street, is the victim to
the amount of $50 in cash and sundry
pieces of velvet, ribbon, etc., of equal value.
She puts the robbery down as having been
perpetrated between the hours
of 8 and 10 o'clock P. NJ. Just before the
first named hour, she was sitting near her
front windows, when she observed man
peering in; seeing her, he dedged back.
She thought nothing of the circumstance
and soon thereafter prepared to depart
with a lady friend to make a call.
AS she passed out she observed the same
man in conversation with another on the
corner, yet again mistrusted nothing. On
returning home and entering her store she
was confronted with the evidences of the
robbery and burglary. Entrance
had been effected by hosting
an unfastened back window; the
store had been ransacked, valuable
velvets taken, and the $50 was found in a
pocket-b book in drawer, and was made q
part of the spoils. Mrs. Redwood apprehend-
ed no danger by the way it came; the back
window looked out on court, which could
only be gained by descent from the roof.
To aid them in this the thieves found
a ladder already set, which had been used
in whitewashing and carelessly left where
last used. The suspicion is pretty strong
that somebody was prttey familiar with the
surroundings, knew of the ladder and avail
ed themselves of it, during Mrs. Redmond's
unfortunate absence,

The Democracy of the city Of st. Paul will
meet in convention, at the old court house, in
the city of st. Paul. on Thursday, April Gath,
1879, at 10 O o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose OF
placing in nomination candidates to be voted
for at the ensuing city election for the follow
ing offices: Mayor, Comptroller, City Attorney,
Two justices of the peace and two constables.
The different precincts in the several wards,
at the usual places of holding elections, will
elect delegates, as follows, to said convention,
on Wednesday, the 23d day of April, 1879, be-
tween the hours of and o'clock P. NJ, viz:
First and second precinct of First ward, three
delegates each; first precinct Second ward, five
delegates; second precinct Second ward, two
delegates; first precinct Third ward, five dele
gates; second precinct Third ward, two dele
gates; first precinct Fourth ward, five delegates;
second precinct Fourth ward, two delegates;
third precinct Fourth ward, three delegates;
first and second precinct Fifth ward, three del
egates each; Sixth ward, three delegates.

inclinations to the public good. Und'

inolinations to the public good. Under
these circumstances Mr.. Dawson is in the
hands of his friends, and his friends (Which
term comprises every man who has the in
terest of st. Paul at heart) will place him in
nomination, and elect him with unanimity
The same situation which renders the re-
tention of Mr.. Dawson so important applies
with equal force to the city attorney. He
too has been, of necessity, extraordinarily
active in the public matters now in process
of adjustment. Mr.. Murray is, withal, more
familiar than any man living, with our city
affairs, both past and present, and if we were
not in the midst of transactions which posi-
lively forbid change, it would be the part
of wisdom to retain him in the position for
which his long service in various depart
ments of the city government SO eminently
qualify him.
AS citizens, without distinction, favor the
retention of Comptroller Roche, man
whose sterling integrity commends him fol
the place, it is pretty plain to divine the
ticket which will be nominated next Thurs
day and elected on the 9Th of May. L
will be Democratic, it is true, but not parti
san. In fact but for party machinery thu
parties named would be selected by the PEG
pie at large as their nominees. The people
will ratify such nominations with an emphasi
which will show that st. Paul is united as

ON THE RAMPAGE.
Gaining Restitution Under Difficulties.

Gaining Restitution Under DiMcultles.
For three days past the majesty Of the
law, as represented by Officer Mullins, of
the municipal court, has waged incessant
warfare with the Echlenberger family, or to
speak by the card, the better half of the
aforesaid family, the same being Mrs. Ech-
lenberger. Before detailing the bloodless
engagements of this strange case, it may DO
proper to state that the majesty of
the law was indicated yesterday, and
that her minion quit the field with
victory perched upon the uppermost
point of his glory covered standard.
The scene of the delSctu was at the Echlen-
berger castle, corner of Ninth and Robert
streets, and the casus 6elzS was writ for
restitution of premises, the upshot of a suit
decided by judge Flint in favor of Mrs.
Milette, last Thursday. Fully approaching
the delicacy of their task, but realizing the
sublime truth of the word, that he is thrice
armed, who battles for the right, officers
Mullen and Dowlan, enpanoplied with
the mantle of justice, proceeded to
execute the mandate of the law.
AS the clarion of fame had already trump
nents, the redoubtable warriors decided to
take the dauntless Amazon by storm, but
in cherishing confidence, that vain child of
credulity, they counted without their host.
To state that they met with warm recep-
ton, would be to employ the language of q
chattering idiot. Their greeting was more
than tropical-it was sulphurious.
With the writ of restitution in one hand,
and with the other crossed on his manly
breast, Officer Mullins bravely advanced to
the front of lager beer counter,) behind
which stood the imposing form of the Am
azon. Shifting, as it were, the purport of
their business, the enemy seized beer NAL
let in one hand and murderous looking
butcher knife in the other. A most disas-
trous parley ensued, when the enemy made
an unexpected sally upon the right wing,
Officer Mullins,) of the foe, which was forced
to beat a hasty and demoralizing retreat.
A second engagement followed, total rout
being avoided by the left flank, Officer
I Dowlan), who rescued his colleague just in
time to retrieve the day and save his Roman
from perishing. 1t was then decided to call
the engagement draw, and suspend opera
tions until the next day, by virtue of an
armistice. Officer Mullins bore down or
5 the citadel, Friday, and was surprised by the
appearance of the enemy, who appeared ar
rayed en- femme de nuit. The officer being
a modest man, was fain to blush at the un-
expected apparition, which left him hors d.
combat. A great deal of talk about lawyers
etc., ensued, resulting in a peaceful sur
render, yesterday, thus terminating the
fierce but bloodless battle.
