Eearly Seeding in Minnesota.

The advantages offered by residence in
Minnesota are almost beyond comprehen-
sion. It is not only it's fertile soil, healthful
climate, beautiful scenery, etc., but the per-
feet blending of all combined in one SYM
metrical whole, fully meeting all the wants of
humanity, that gives to Minnesota it's supe-
riority over all other localities. Thus it was
only last week we were in the midst of win
TERN the enjoyment, in fact, of the. only
real good sleighing of the winter, and yet
before the week closed, Saturday, the 18th,
spring seeding was in progress at Kirkhoven,
Swift county, III miles northwest of st.
Paul. That this seeding was not premature
is evidenced by the reception yester-
day by well-known citizen and
owner of large tract of land in the
Red river valley, $50 miles north of west
from st. Paul, of telegram from his farmer
asking him to hurry forward the farm teams
and farm machinery, as much of the land
would be ready for the seed in day or two.
This latter telegram was shown a couple of
gentlemen from Pennsylvania, who last year
made large purchases of land in that locality,
and who, when leaving home, had left in
structions to have their working teams
shipped so as to reach st. Paul about the
10th of April, which date they in their inno-
cence thought would be the earliest possible
time for the commencement of spring opera

take was great. but the lightning was called
into requisition and an emphatic order tele-
graphed to ship horses and outfit Immediate

CLARA MORRIS REVENGE,

She Instructs Her Husband to "Pound' a
Passenger at OnaaI.a-"Hit Hin, T,vtce,
Freddie''-Freddie Hits Him T,vice.
lOmaha Special to New York Herald.
Among the overland passengers from the
West tonight we're Clara Morris, actress, and
Frederick Harriet, her husband, on their
way East. The train stopping for some time,
MIR. Harriet was in his stateroom conversing
with your correspondent, when Mrs. Harriet
called him to her berth, and, pointing out d
fine looking man on the platform outside,
uttered several words in low tone. Mr..
Harriet at once walked out upon the plat
form, and, stepping quietly up to the man,
struck him on the breast. The policemen
and passengers crowded about the assaulted
man and asked the meaning of the blow. The
latter said he did not know his assailant At
this moment Mrs. Harriet stepped to her car
window. threw it up, and shouted:
" Hit him twice, Freddie, hit him twice I
told you to strike him twice.
Mr.. Harriet then struck the man before
him another sharp blow with the flat of his
hand, which resounded through the depot.
The assaulted man then removed his cap,
and, stepping forward to Mrs. Harriet, said,
"There is some mistake here, madame
know neither you nor your husband what
does this 1nean?''
"You bowed to me in street-car in San
Francisco" said Mrs. Harriet.
81 was never in San Francisco in my life,"
was the answer.
The police threatened to arrest Harriet,
but the assaulted man gave them no encour-
agement, and all the parties were again al
lowed to take their seats in the train.
Returning to his seat Mr.. Harriet said to
your correspondent: 1T is q fellow con-
nected with dramatic paper who has assail-
ed both my wife and myself through its
columns and in anonymous letters. lie was
an enemy to my wife in Cleveland several
years ago, when she first went on the stage,
and did all he could to injure her. He has

times insulted her. He met her not long ago

her, and sent her note next day referring
to the bow, and saying he knew some facts

my wife. have no secrets that want kept
quiet. I meet this fellow occasionally, and
this is not the first time I have pounded
him.
Men here who know the assaulted indi-
vidual say Mr.. Harriet made mistake; that
the man he ''pounded'' cannot possibly be
the person who lnsulted his wife.

TRACK TRAVELLERS.

First Day of the Great International Walk
Ing Match--The Englishman Gains q Good
Lead, and O'Leary, the Champion, Be-
hind all Others.
NEW YORK, March 10.-Great interest is taken
in the pedestrian contest at Gilmore's Garden.
Crowds of people gathered outside the
building, while inside there is a large number
OF spectators. At IL o'clock the score stood:
Rowell, 60 miles; O'Leary, IS; Hartman, 50:
Ennis, 48. O'Leary's best time, 80 far, was on
the second mile: in minutes and 80 seconds
On his 29th mile he was off the track in IL min
utes and 10 seconds. On the 34th mile he was
of the track in 10 minutes and 81 seconds
Ennis best time, SO far, was on the eighth
mile, minutes and 2 seconds. His longest
time was the 26th, which occupied 81 minutes
and seconds. On the 32d mile he went off
the track, and again on completion of the 10th
MILE
On the sixty-third mile Rowell caused con
laps at a steady trot. Frequently during this
mile and several that preceded and followed it
he broke into occasional runs.
Howell completed his sixty-ffth mile at
III. 1om, 27s in 1om, SIS; OF eary his sixteenth
mile MI in In, l2m, 26s, in 13m 4Os; Ennis his
fifteenth mile at 12h, 26m, l9s; and Hartman
made his hfty-ffth mile at 12h, Gam, 16s in
I3m, les.
Shortly before 2 o'clock O Leary had a run
with Rowell twice around the track. At two
Rowell had made sixty-nine miles, O'Leary
sixty -three, Hartman sixty-one and Ennis
ffty-four. At 8 o'clock the score stood !:
Rowell seventy-four miles, O'Leary sixty
seven, Hartman sixty-6ve Ennis fifty-nine.
AT NIGHT.
New YORK, March l0.-Fully 5000 persons
were present at the walking match tonight.
Rumors of O'Leary being sick were started
and gained ground, for number of times he
quilted the track. His trainer admitted that
he was suffering from sour stomach and
vomited several times, and that it was caused
by too rich food eaten Sunday. They said,
however, he was recovering. Between and 8
o'clock he was off the track seven times and
looked ill. Rowell, ON the contrary, took but
few rests and trotted along at his steady Jog,
apparently little exhausted. Hartman showed
fine speed during the evening and kept well up
to Rowell. Ennis, while walking steadily,
dropped slowly behind. Rowell is undoubtedly
forcing the pace and is steadily widening the
gap between himself and his competitors.
At II o'clock Rowell scored 108 miles, Har-
rirnan 81, 0 Leary SO. Ennis 81. The score at
l o'clock stood: Rowell ITO, Hartman 100,
Eanis IS, O'Leary 93-six laps. All the pc
destrians retired for the night.

THE BRASS KETTLE.
Hon. j. N. Stacy, of Monticello, addressed
the chamber relative t. the two wheat grading
bills now before the Governor, and his device
for filling the brass kettle. sample of which
he exhibited. He said this question of testing
wheat was not political dodge, as some sup
posed, but one in which the farmers were deep
ly interested. He explained how the kettle
could be made to swindle, but claimed that with
his device it could not be used dishonesty.
He had undertaken to remedy an evil to benefit
the people and asked no royalty,
Mr.. Banning objected to the Stacy bill pend
ing before the Governor because it recognized
the kettle.
Mr.. Stacy-It gives the farmer the option
whether he will use the kettle or not.
Mr.. Banning-Yes, he can insist on the half
bushel as the standard, but the buyer has him
by the throat, because he say that he will
not buy the wheat at all unless it is tested with
the kettle.
Mr.. Ingersoll moved that the chamber recon-
mend Mr. Stacys device for filling the KETTLE

THE CABLES ANNIVERSARY.

com pll6h0Os
New YORK, March 1O.-Over 1000 guests re-
sponded this evening to the invitations issued
by Cyrus W. Field, to celebrate the silver we'd
ding of the inception of the enterprises by
which Europe and America are linked by the
Atlantic cable. His house in Grammerey park
was opened at 9 o'clock, and the drawing rooms
thronged with prominent men of the country,
statesmen, scholars, divines, men of letters,
diplomats, and army and navy officers.
Mr.. Field, during the course of remarks, said
To-day there are over 10000 miles of cable
crossing the seas and oceans and as if it were
not enough to have messages sent with the
speed of lightning, they must be sent in oppo-
site directions at the same moment. I have
just received telegram from Volentia, Ire
land, which reads: s"This anniversary witnesses
duplex working across the Atlantic as an &C.
complished fact, by which the capacity
of all ocean cables are doubled" One thing
only remains which I still hope to
be spared to see and in which to take a part.
The laying of cable from San Francisco to
the Sandwich islands, for which I have received
this very day concession from King Kalako-
lu, by his minister, who is here tonight, and
from thence to Japan, by which the island
groups of the Pacific may be brought into COM
munication with the continents on either
side, Asia and America, thus completing
the circuit of the globe.
Congratulatory dispatches were received by
cable from Minister WEIGH, Dean Stanley, Sir
William Thompson, Sir Samuel Canning, Sir
James Anderson, Sir Daniel Gooch John Pen
der, M. P, Henry Weaver, J. 8. Morgan, DR..
stephen, postmaster general of Germany, DR..
Lasard, manager of the German Union tele-
graph company, and Sir Anthony Mus

treal Telegraph company, ex-Gov. Stanford of
California Gen. Sherman, Admiral Porter, VIM.
g. Everstt, VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Rev. Dr. Bel

liant reception ever given in New York city.

THE ST. PAUL & PACIFIC.
Going Through the Legal Formula to Take
the Road Out of the Courts.


Important action was had yesterday to-
ward a settlement of the matters heretofore
in dispute between the bondholding
and stockholding interests in the
First Division of the st. Paul
& Pacific railroad company. The &C
ton was had under the provisions of an ACT
passed by the legislature which adjourned at
IL NJ. of Friday last, the material portion
of which is in the following language:
That any judge of the supreme court shall,
during vacation, have the same power as the
court at term to dismiss, and appeal, and re-
mand the cause to the court below upon the
stipulation of the parties to such appeal con-
senting to such dismissal, to be fled with the
clerk of the said court.
In accordance with the above stipulations
of the parties to- six mortgage foreclosure
suits brought by the bondholding interest in
the district court of Ramsey county, and
appealed from the stockholding interest, were
filed with Clerk Nichols, yesterday, Associate
Justice Berry signing the order, dismissed
the cases and remanding them to the court
below. The general character of the cases
are the same, though some little change is
made in the wording of the title, and the
names of parties implicated.
The following is the title of one of the
cases: Horace Thompson and Samuel J.
Tilden, trustees, respondents, US. Henry L.
Wells, Greenleaf Clark and Edwin G. Litch-
field. as trustees, implicated with the First
Division of the St. Paul & Pacific railroad
company and others, appellants.
Action TO foreclose mortgage for $6,OOO,-
600.
Appeal by Henry T. Wells and others as
trustees for order overruling demurrer to
complaint.
The other causes appealed from are to fore.
close mortgages in the sums of $6,OOOO 600
$1,2oo,0o0, 100000, $3,00o,0oO and $2,.
100000 respectively, making grand aggre
gate of $22,OOO,OOO.
The cases now go back to the district court
OF Ramsey county, where the original order
of judgment of that court in favor of the
bondholders will be certified, thus ending
the proceedings as far rs that court is con.
Cetned,

Cpl. George Culver, of the Metropolitan,
was exceedingly low last night, and but
slight hopes were entertained of his recovery.
He is suffering with an attack of inaamma-
ton of the Leading intestine, superinduced
by severe attack of billiousness. The
patient is receiving the skilled attention of
Drs. Hand and Smith, in addition to which
he is surrounded by host of anxious and
loving friends, who are untiring in their Of
forts to alleviate the pain of the sufferer.
At late hour last evening his survival until
morning was scarcely considered as probable,
although he was rational and conversed quite
freely when not under the influence of Opt
ates. The physicians have not absolutely
given the case up, and there are slight hopes
of his final recovery.

At the head of the editorial column of the
Herald we again elevate for the Presidency
the name of Samuel J. Tilden, as candi-
date for that position in 1880. 1t may be
considered q little premature, but, believing
the Democratic party which embraces ma
jority of the legal electors of the United
States gave him their votes in November,
1876, and that he was legally elected Presi-
dent, and that the growing sentiment of the
people is increasing in his favor for re-
nomination and reelection, it is well and
proper that ssbold front" be presented, that
his reelection may be the vindication Of the
rights of the people. When again we have
elected him President let us mutually under
stand that he is to be inaugurated to that
Office ignoring fraudulent returns and to Z

HOME AGAIN.

Oh How 1t Fills Our Souls With Joy, &C.
Several familiar faces, but absent from The
city for several weeks, were noticed on the
streets yesterday, receiving hearty greeting
from numerous friends. They were United
States Senator s. J. r. Mcmillan, Hon. J. II.
Stewart, M. G. from this district, and e. M. Nc
Murtrle, recently appointed collector of customs
from this district, headquarters Pembina, and
who had but just returned home from Wash
1ngton. GLOBE reporter was SO fortunate as
to corral the amiable representative when resting
from the almost interminable pump handle
process, and from him learned the following:
Mr. Dunnel, REPRESENTATIVE from the Third
district accompanied the party on their home
ward trip as far as Winona. Major Strait, the
retired member from the Second district, was
still! IN Washington. So was the Hon. Henry
Poehler, the majors successor. Ex-Gov. Ram
sey was in Philadelphia, and may get the Berlin
mission. Judge Kidder still remains at the
capital, and is supposed to be keeping his eyes
the accidental President in filing
the new Dakota territory judgeship, with good
prospects. VIM. Shelly, Esq, was there, too,
watching the organization Of the new Con-
gress, helping plan the new committees, look
ing out for berth for himself and keeping all
ments of the days as they rolled around.
Everything was at fever heat in Washington
when the party left, and the doctor was more
than glad to get back to Minnesota with it's
magnificent climate and the great hearted
and broad gauge people of St. Paul.
He had had enough of official life in his, at
least for the present.
Speaking of the contest for the Speakership
Of the new House, the doctor thought it would
be close between Randall and Blackburn, but
inclined to the belief that the first named
would be chosen his own successor. At any
rate he ought to be, and if the conservative
men of the Democratic party, the men who
looked beyond temporary party success to the
good OF the country, controlled the selection, he
would be the choice. Randall he declared an
able and fair man, against all subsidies, and
as fair in his rulings, notwithstanding the heat.
ed party contests which had come up during his
Speakership, as any of his predecessors for the
last twenty years, and the best interests of the
country demanded his choice, although in a
mere partisan view it would be bad, as under
RandalPs careful guidance the Democrats stood
much better show Of being continued in power
tnan they would if Blackburn should be elected.
