Circuit Court. May term Of
our cirauit court convened at the
Court House, on Tuesday the 18th
inst. Judge Park called court to or

Jurymcn, not quite half Of the regu-

The Judge then took up the calender
and went through the cases. Mr..
Park is not in good health to say the
least, and we fear he can not survive
this attack upon nis health He can
scarcely speak above a whisper. and
the calender to 60 through with is a

The New York Tribune has withstocd tho
demand for paper every day il the year
until the present time, but at last succumbs,
and to-day the first issue of the Sunday
Tribune is made. Heretofore it was pub
lished Monday morning and omitted Sun
day. The Herald first inaugurated the plan
of paper every day in the year. Raymond,
of the Times, followed some years later.
Then Marble, of the World, fell into line.
About five years ago Dana brought the Sun
out on Sunday. The Star, the Tammany
morning paper, also publishes seven days in
the week, and last comes the Tribune.
Every morning paper in that city is
now published $50 days in the year.
The GLOBE recognized the fact at the out
set of it's existence that the world moved
every day in the year. There is no Joshua
to command halt, either on Sunday, Fourth
of July, or Christmas. A paper to be a
record of this busy world must be published
daily Or oftener. We look forward to the
time when the GLOBE will be printed three
times day-morning, noon and night, with
an observance of the Sabbath by emitting
the noon issue, and having but two papers
that day. We do not mean three papers per
day in the sense of three editions of the
same paper, but three full and complete pa
pers each entirely different in contents from
the other. The GLOBE has already done
something in advancing journalism and the
Nav York YIs,b3,ne or6 ofbor i,oito+oro ~v;1l

for the first time, should proceed to clasp
her about the waist, and press her to him!
Would she not resent it as an insult and or
der him from the house with indignation? :?
Yet, she permits far greater liberties than
this at every ball she attends-liberties,
which, if attempted in her own parlor, would
never be forgiven.
Dancing has strong hold upon the COM
munity, and will retain that hold as long as
it continues to be fashionable. Leap-frog
would be practiced just as extensively if it
was fashionable, and we would soon cease to
be shocked at the spectacle of a party of
ladies and gentlemen vaultins over each
others backs, if it once became the custom
in polite society. Yet, such sport is no
mora ridiculous, senseless or immoral, than
the modern dance.

ance companies figures. These suits are
quite familiar to the public, having
passed through course of litigation in the
Ramsey county district court, in some phase
or another, and arise from the burning OF
Murphy's store on Third street, in 1877
The $lOO, 900 bond case of Alexander Nit
cheu and Russell Sage against the city o1
Winona is docketed for trial. Gilbert Jay
Rice's case against thf

and publishing his lithograph maps will also
come up for adjudication. John A. Muir.

Llewellyn Levi Leathers, an American citi.
zen, should come it over them in palming of
| bogus artificial stone for the re-erection o1
st. Johns, after the disastrous fire which
visited it few years ago.
L. Il. Huddleston's suit for services in
lobbying at the legislature for the Northern
Pacific railroad company is down for trial
1t will be remembered he gained the suit al
previous trial, but the judgment was sol
aside on some technical grounds.
In equity, the Northern Pacific railroad
company has suit against the St. Pau
q Pacific railroad company. This latter
also looms up on the old question of s'deben
tures,' "Dutch bondholders,'' ETC.. in suits
brought by a. Sahlgaard, B. n. Stricken, A.

| sent minority of the Dutch bondholders

brought about change of name

tional bank, arising out Of his partnership
with r. O. Strong, on tho alleged recommen
dation of Horace Thompson, the presiden
of the bank. The case was partly tried a
the last term of court, as will be remembered
and went over on the defendant entering tk
plea of the statute of limitation. The abov
are about all the biggest cases which will en-
gage the attention of legal talent during thi
term.

THE DANCE.

The dancing season has fairly begun, and
promises to form as important a part of our
winters social amusements as ever before.
Almost every circle of society has its dancing
club which, once fortnight OF. .oftener, de-
votes on evening to Terpsichorean delights.
The ladies think these evenings charming
and the gentlemen declare them Just the
jolliest thing out. Fromj nine o'clock to
long after midnight the revelry continues,
tho waltz alternating with the quadrille, the
schottische with the Virginia reel or money
musk, until, wearied with the unwonted
exercise, superheated with excitement, and
flushed by the embraces of lovers or ac-
quaintances, all seek their pillows conscious
that the morrow will dawn and find them
haggard, listless and suffering from head
aches and almost utter exhaustion.
Until quite recently promiscuous dancing
was interdicted by the Christian church. 1t
was declared to be immoral and therefore
unbecoming in those protesting religion.
There is, We are forced to admit, some ius-
tice in this claim, for every person knows in
directly traoeable to indulgence in this amuse-
ment. And instead of improving, the dances
of late years have been becoming more and
more open to objections. Whereas the last
generation was content with square dances
and reels, with only an occasional round dance
to lend piquancy to the close, all the fashion,
able dances of to-day are practically of the
round variety. The steps of the waltz, the
polka, the schottische and the gallop are all
introduced into the quadrille, and there is in
all the same familiar clasping of waists and
hands, the same comprising of forms in
voluptuous proximity required in the waltz.
They are all shocking to genuine modesty.
The SUNDAY GLOBE cannot be Justly &C.
eused of prudery. 1t has no fault to find
with dancing in the home circle OF among
intimate friends. But the promiscuous
dancing so much in vogue at the present
day has decidedly demoralizing tendency.
A lady who accepts an invitation to dance
with stranger gives him consent to take
liberties that should be permitted only to
husband or an afianced lover. This can
not be oft repeated without perceptibly low
ering her own self-esteem-her own maiden
ly or wifely delicacy.
In another light the dance does not COM
mend itself to sensible people. Is it not an
absurd sight to see half hundred or more
grown-up men and women, supposedly ra-
tional, hopping around hall like SO many
called the poetry of motion by one of its
dsvotees, but it would take vivid
imagination to discover any poetry
In it. 1t is patent absurd
ity, senseless fashion and harmful folly.
If any lady thinks we have spoken too en-
phatically on the subject,
let her ask herself what she
