The Driving Matinee.

The inaugural driving matinee of the sea-
son was not grand success. The weather
was all that could be desired, the track is in
good shape for driving, and there are plenty
of good steppers in st. Paul. But still the
matinee was not success. The horses did
not appear upon the track yesterday to any
considerable number. True, Champ Cook
was there with Little Reub and Nash, and
Overpeck, and Heron, and Harding of Fari-
bault, and two or three others were there, all
with good horses, and all would let their
horses out little when they could get off by
themselves, but let another horse come up
beside them, and a COW was fast in compari-
son. Still, the matinees have been inau-
gurated, and on the same principle that s'tall
aches from little toe-corns grow these
matinees will grow in size and popularity
until the Saturday afternoon at the Driving
park will be anxiously looked forward to all
through the week. Now "go-'long' till next
Saturday.

Astonishing Results of Recent Electrical
Experiments.
lRichmond Register.
The latest scientific intelligence from
France brings accounts of some extraordina-
~ experiments now under consideration of
the French sayGnts. M. Grandeat, of the
School of Forestry, Paris, reports the follow
ing among numerous equally astonishing
results: In April last he took two tobacco
plants, each weighing about fifty grains,
and having four leaves. They were both
planted in boxes containing mold of iden-
tical quality and placed side by side in a
position favorable to their growth. They
we're permitted free circulation of air, light
and water. One was supplied with a
I" lightning-rod' or electric conductor, and
the other left free to the Influence of atmos-
pheric electricity. The plants were left
to themselves until the middle of August.
That under the influence of electricity attain
ed height of three feet five inches and
weighed about $4,000 grains; the other
measured two feet four inches, and weighed
about $4,000 grains, about one-half. This is
only one of the many results obtained. If
electricity is to become factor in farming,
as it is already one in mechanics, we may
expect to see some wonderful and substan-
tial revelations, perhaps exceeding the tele-
phone and its allied wonders. Instead of care
fully conducting lightning into the ground,
we may have, by an ingenious system of net
work distributors, whole farms fertilized by
lightning in a shocking manner. Professor
Tobin thinks the scheme altogether practical
BILE, and says that in few years every farm
or will be using these lightning fertilizers.

Episcopal Fair.

The Episcopal fair held IN Opera Hall,
Thursday evening, was success both fnan-
cially and socially. The inventive minds of
the fairer sex were used to arrange the va
rious stands in striking yet syste matte
manner, in which they succeeded admirably.
The decorative talent of number of ladies'
was used to good advantage. The first thing
to attract the attention on entering the hall,
was the Japanese bazaar tastefully and artis-
tically arranged and ably presided over by
Mr.. and Mrs. bud Hersey and Mrs. AL. Hos
pes. To the left of the bazaar was situated
the New England kitchen in charge of Mrs.
l.. E. Torinus, connected with which were
the eating tables. On the right were the
ice cream tables with Miss Fannie Jordan
and Mrs. Henry Van Worries in charge.
These tables received frequent visits, which
fully attested the fine quality Of the cream.
Further down the room were the fancy
stands in charge of the Sunday school classes
of Miss Clara Williams and Miss Fay.
The grocery establishment, in care of Mrs.
Matte Goodrich, appeared to be doing q
fourishing business, which augured we'll for
future success.

case containing them were furnished by Mr..
W. S. Conrad, and the well known quality
of his cigars added materially to the receipts
The two fortune tellers, EMiss Nettie Du-
rant and Miss Annie Ellison, appeared to be
doing a large business, and from the smiling
faces of those who had their fortunes told
one would naturally infer that their lives
would be bed of roses with nothing to mai
their future happiness, and they would, not
thousand years hence, lose some dear granc
mother, who would kindly bequeath to then
some millions of dollars.
The various stands were literally patron

Pilot Sylvester Doss is reported as having

new invention is it's ability to point out the
channel by current of electricity. If it is
what the inventor claims, it will enable a boat
to slice fog like poundcake and revolute her
wheel just lively as though the fog was no
fog at all. 1t is to be hoped it is all its name

To the Editor of the Globe.
On my return to the city to-day, from an
absence of few days, find a sensational
article in your paper, headed "Robert and
Elizabeth" concerning the divorce proceed
ings pending between myself and my wife.
AS none of the papers in the suit are on
file in the court, and as the article abounds
in st atements s'aside from the allegations in
the complaint it is evident that your in
formation was obtained from partisan
sources. need only say now that save the
fact of the marriage of myself and my wife
there is not statement in the complaint
nor in your article which is true. This your
reporter might have learned, if he took the
trouble to examine the sworn answer to the
complaint, which, though it would destr oy
the sensational character of the item, would
exhibit the truthful situation of the persons
you speak of, and this cannot, think, be
Indifferent to you.

origin IN the same cause that has caused un-
happiness in many other households titan

think to see staklng not only the

IT seems that the question of how the
Auditor should prepare the county financial
statement was made the subject of judicial
decision a few years ago. A controversy
having arisen in LIE Sueur county, the ques-
tion was referred to the late Judge Chat
field, one of the most eminent jurists in the
State. He decided that the statement
should embrace each order in detail drawn
by the Auditor during the year. The intent
of the law is to give this detail in order to
prevent the public money being improperly
expended in secret. The only fault to be
found in Ramsey county is that the law was
not complied with, owing to the desire to
cut down the report.

THE SPRING ELECTION.

It will be seen by the official call else
where printed that the Democratic conVen-
ton to nominate city ticket is to be held
in St. Paul next Thursday. Though party
machinery is essential, it is safe to say in ad-
vance that the convention on Thursday will
do more than represent the Democratic party
it will represent the entire people and
their interests.
It is we'll known that Mayor Dawson has
been very reluctant to continue in Office and
that he desired to escape the burden of pub
lie duties which have SO largely occupied his
time the past year. While this
is quite natural it happens that
st. Paul is in a situation
which does not permit of dispensing with
his services. This city has laid the ground
work during the past six months for some
giant strides of advancement. There has
been displayed feeling and cordial unan-
unity never before witnessed, and a deter
mination to do whatever is necessary to
Chicago. To this end legislation was Sc
cured and measures lnaugurated, which
are now in process of execution. It was fit
ting that in these arrangements Mayor
Dawson should take an active part, both
because he is the chief executive officer of
the city, and also one of the largest property
owners. He is at the head of the executive
committee having these matters in
charge, and at the present time he
could not be spared from his post without
jeopardizing the most vital interests of the
city.
It is especially gratifying, under these cir.
cumstances. to be able to state that Mr.
Dawson is in the hands of his friends, to &C,
as they see fit in the matter. The position
is one neither to be sought for or declined

HE WRATH OF THE BLACK HILLS.

BY A. T. LEE.
There was silence in the canons,
There was silence on the hills.
And the valley of the Rosebud
Poured its songs of summer rills;
And summer birds in brambles,
And low zephyrs in the vines
On the path of Clusters squadrons,
As they rode among the pines.
Their steeds were worn and weary,
For they journeyed fast and far,
From the fading of the twilight
To the psling of the star.
But twas morning on the Big Horn,
Dawn of rest for steed and man;
How the daylight laughed with gladness
Where the sparkling river ran!
All is silent by the river,
Save the murmur of its voice,
And the summer leaves that rustic
In the zephyrs, and rejoice.
But see the frightened eagle
Quits his eyry in the sky.
And bark! those yells of madness,
That do drown the eagles cry!
From every rock and ravine,
From each hilltop, slope and dell,
They swarm in yelling legions.
They are fiends let loose from hell!
A thousand ringing rifles
send their messengers of wrath
A thousand whizzing arrows
Follow swiftly on their path!
Zee the Keeling, stricken squadrons!
Dying man, and dying steed!
They fy-they halt, they rally!
But in vain they fight and bleed.
Still the ravines send their legions,
Pouring onward like flood!
And the air is black with terror,
And the sands are red with blood
x
There is silence in the cannons,
There is silence on the hills.
Where the sands are red with slaughter
There are songs of summer rills.
The birds sing by the streamlets
And the pine tree mods it's crest;
And the eagle from the cloudlet
Has gone back to find her nest.
