TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 10, 1880.

THE Lucky HORSESHOE.
A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe In the road,
And nailed 1t fast to his barn door,
That Luck might down upon him pour,
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife,
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing FARM.
But dire ill-fortune soon began
To visit the astounded man.
His hens declined to lay their eggs;
His bacon tumbled from the pegs,
And rats devoured the fallen legs;
His corn, that never failed before.
Mildewed and rotted on the floor;
His grass refused to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went astray;
In short, all moved the crooked way.
Next spring great drought baked the sod,
And roasted every pea in pod;
The beans declared they could not grow
So long as nature acted so;
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starvc for lack of juicy food;
The slaves from barrel sides went off
AS if they had the hopping cough,
And nothing OF the useful kind
10 icll lHCiltcu
In short it was no use to try
While all the land was in Il fry.
One morn, dcmoraliZcd with grief,
The farmer clamorcd for relief;
And prayed right hard to understand
What witchcraft now possessed his land
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since iIe nailed up that lucky shoe.
While thus disniaycd DER matters wrong
An Old man Glanced to trudge along,
To whom he told, with wormwood tcars,
How his affairs were In arrears,
And what desperate state OF things
a pickcd-up horseshoe sometimes brings
The stranger asked to SEQ the shoe,
The farmer brought ii into view:
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright, and quickly said,
mo wonder skies upon you frOwn-
You've nailed The horseshoe upside down!
Just turn it round. and soon you'll see
How you and Fortune will asree.'
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground;
The sunshine laughed among his grain.
And heaps on heaps piled up the vain:
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did as they were told;
HIS fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crops;
His turnip and potato fields
Astonishcd all men by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears of corn
As in his smiling hills were born:
His barn was full of bursting bins;
His wife presented him with twins:
His ncighbors marvcled more and more
To see the increase in his store.
And now the merry farmer sings
There are two ways of doing thing;
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail uf, your horseshoe the right way"

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
FLOODS ON THE SEINE.

PARIS, Jan. 3.--Drift ice in the Seine has be-
much alarm is felt The works opposite the
Invalades have been carried away, and the
river is full of wreckage. Several bridges
have been rendered unsafe and travel over
them is stopped. The bridges in use, mainly
structures of stone, are completely choked up
by the extra traffic thus forced upon them, and
to make matters worse the crowds increase
every moment. The scene along.the quays
was most exciting. Thousands
of people watched the rushing
torrent ard huge masses of ice flung with ter
rifle force against the bridges. At Point De
La Concordia, the depth of water is six metres
and the river is still rising, where, on Christ
mas day vast crowds crossed on the solid ice
The current is now running at the rate of
seven miles an hour. The devastation pro-
misses to be far greater than that which occurred
in January, 1871, when the water rose SO high
that steamboats, could not pass under the
bridges and the streets of the low-lying en-
virons of the city were covered with water to
the depth of several feet.
BURNED TO DEATH.

Mrs: Wollenfong, living near Eau Claire
stumbled and dropped lamp she was carry

flames almost instantly, burning her so badly
before her husband, VINO was in an adjoining
room, could render assistance, that she died

THEATRE ALARMS.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. Sat the matinee in
LeBruos' theatre, this afternoon, during the
first act of the New Magdaline," while Miss
Ada Cavendish aud Adelaide Cberie were on
the stage, a cry of fire started, and in n mo-
ment the whole house was in confusion. The
audience, composed principally of ladies', was
very large. general rush was made for all
the exits. The alarm proved untrue, but two
or three ladies tainted, and the curtain had to
be rung down before quiet could be restored
The play was resumed after a delay of fifteen
minutes. No one was in ured.
New YORK, Jan. 3.-Much excitement was
caused among 2,000 people ut the matinee in
Aberly's theatre. by an explosion of gas be-
hind the STAGE There was heavy escape, and
search for the break with lighted match
caused the explosion, and cry of fire follow

some months ago, yesterday failed in an at

remembered, was jealous of Miss Fitzgerald

rating her bed with kerosene and setting it on
fire.

The striking hog butchers of Chicago
have forfeited their last claim to sympathy
by series of deadly assaults upon those
who have chosen to work for living rather
than steal, beg or starve. The workers do
not belong to the union, and are therefore
under the ban of outlawry By the members
of that organization, yet no person with a
spark of justice in his composition could
deny them the privilege of earning an
honest living. We trust the employers will
keep their promise 10 protect these men at
any cost from the assaults of the murderous
union men.

DON'T CUT THE THROITS OF YOUR
HOME PIPERS.
The GLOBE has received from the chair
man of the county commissioners of Blue
Earth county request to send in bids for
the printing of that county for the ensuing
year. The GLOBE will do nothing of the
kind, and the county commissioners of that
for going outside of their own territory to
secure the work which can be done as we'll
or better at home. There are two large and
we'll equipped newspapers and printing
third establishment at another town in the
county. This ought to supply all the COM
petition necessary and the taxpayers of
Blue Earth county should be, and doubtless
are, willing to give their business to their
own citizens.
We venture to say that no one thing has
done SO much to develop Blue Earth county
as her newspapers They have been con-
slant advertisement of The advantages of that
region, and without them the county
would be almost terra iRcognitd.
If there was a sparse population and
small area of cultivation, the farming lands
would be comparatively worthless, there
would be no towns of importance to furnish
taxable property, and for such expenses, ju-
dicial and otherwise, as were positively neces-
sary the rate of taxation would be largely in
excess of what it is to-day. The fact that
Biue Earth county is not such county, but
is one of the best and richest counties in the
State, is because her newspapers have adver
tised her soil and kept the advantages of tina.
region constantly before the public. AS
| sumo, if you please (though it is BY
no means certain) thai the county can
save few dollars by going outside
for this work, is it good business policy for
them to do SO? Would it not be better to
| pay legitimate prices for their work, and
thus aid their papers in becoming more in
| fuential? The existence of three offices en-
sures all necessary competition to prevent the
| county from being fieeced, and it is alb
| solutele disgraceful for the county board 10
go away from home for such matters. Il
would serve the county right if tn, papers
| would move out and let the people rely for
| their constant presentation to the public
upon the parties in st. Paul or Chicago or
| elsewhere, who may chance to underbid the
| home institutions. 1t is a case of penny
wise and several pounds foolish.

1T is little singular that bank of the
standing of the Grocers' Bank of New York
should be imposed upon by forged CONNER
cial paper to the extent of hundred thou
sand dollars but it is still more singular
that, after the character of the paper had
been discovered, the officers should raise
money on it by having it re-discounted at
other banks. The first fact reflects but
little credit upon the sagacity of the bank
officials, and the last is certainly not very
hattering to their honesty.

A PETTTFOGGfNG OPINION.

When Gov. Garcelon agreed, in order to
quiet the libels of his enemies, to submit
certain questions involving the legality of
his conduct to the supreme judicial court of
Maine, the GLOBE questioned the wisdom of
such course for the reasons then stated that
the questions at issue had already been
adjudicated, and the only purpose sought by
the Republicans was to secure a partisan
advantage at the cost of the consistency of
the highest tribunal in the State. We called
attention to the fact that powerful pressure
had been brought to bear upon the judges of
the supreme court in anticipation of the SUBJ
mission of those questions, and that partisan
advantage would be likely to outweigh judi
cial fairness or consistency in whatever
action might be had in the premises. The
result has justified our apprehensions. The
court has decided unanimously that the
governor and council of the State, acting
as board of election canvassers, have no
power to interpose to prevent the commits
sion of frauds upon the ballot; have no
authority to enforce the provisions of the
according to the opinion Of this august tribu-
nal, are purely clerical. The provisions of law
which require certain forms to be followed
in receiving votes and making returns are, if
the supreme judicial court is to be believed,
of no consequence, and any frauds or If
Irregularities committed by returning officers
must be embossed and approved by the gov
ernor and council without the slightest
question. No right inheres in them to 90
behind the face of returns for the
purpose of inquiring Ewhether the
voters or the town, plantation or city officers
paid due respect to the law or not.
The absurdity of the position-not to
speak of its Inconsistency with previous de-
eisions of the same court-must be mani
fest to every one. For instance, the pre-
sumption that "a majority of quorum of
aldermen or selectmen, even though ma
jority is minority of the entire board, can
perform legal act, is preposterous, and has
been so decided time and again. 1t stands
to reason, and law as we'll. that minority
of any body legally constituted cannot per-
form legal action. For instance, suppos-
ing there were two sets of returns from city
having seven aldermen. Four of those alder
men might meet to consider them, and
three of the four approve of one set. The
remaining three aldermen might approve of
the other set, and each be signed properly. |
The names of quorum of majority of the |
aldermen might be attached to each set of re-
turns, and both be sent to the secretary of |

A TELEGRAM from Washington elsewhere
conveys information relative to the Donnelly-
Washburn contest which is of considerable
interest 1t says if Donnelly is admitted, it
will make the vote of Minnesota Democratic
if the election is thrown into the House
The GLOBE intimated something of this kind
some time ago. The case will be taken up
next Wednesday, and we may add for the
benefit of those who have not taken the
trouble to read Mr.. Donnelly's brief, that the
case he makes out is SO strong that his sue
cess is very probable.

GRANT has been calling attention at
Charleston to the fact that he burned no
buildings ct the South during the war. Gen.
Sherman feels hurt at the claim, especially
as it was given point by reference to one of
the movements of his march ''from Atlanta

ing most vigorously. But even Sherman
will not stand in the way of Grants am

a point with the people of the South, and

During the general reception of citizens,
and while thousands were thronging the
front portico and vestibule of the mansion
to shake hands with the President, an Incl
dent occurred. A man named De Ahaua,
who was formerly collector of the customs
at Sitka, Alaska, and who perhaps not I'M
justly claims TO have been greatly wroneed
by the present administration in being
summary removed after he mad gone to
his post of duty, undertook to
publicly arraign the President for
cruelty and inhumanity. He marched in the
line of visitors, and as the President ex-
tended to him his hand De Ahana, with
great haughtiness, refused it, and then in a
loud voice that could be heard over the
noise in the mansion charged the President
with having denied him justice for many
months.
The President became greatly confused and
attempted to turn him aside, but De Ahana
raised his voice and became more boistrous,
teiiiuS tue ieoiueut IL Ills idully udu
suffered one-half the hardships endured by
his de Ahana's 81 family, the Hayes household
would never know another happy day.
The police officers were called and the en-
ragged man was hustled from the Presidents
parlors into the street.
De Ahana has long been noted character
about Washington, persistently importuning
Congress and the administration to relieve
his wants. Not long ago he threatened to
cowhide Secretary Sherman. Within few
days past, during his absence from the city,
his wife and seven children were turned into
the street by an importunate landlord. and
it is this that has made the man desperate.
Unless he is given an office or locked up, it
is feared that he may yet attempt to play
the part of Wilkes Booth.
