ANOTHER WAsHBURNE IN THE
FIELD

AN0THER WAsHBURNE IN THE
Elihu B. Washburne is an aspirant fol
the Republican nomination to Congress
from the Third Illinois district, embracing
the north division of Chicago and the
county of Lake. Mr.. Washburne is now In
Europe, butlest,. during his absence his ex.
istence and his aspirations should be forgot
ten, he has sent to friend of his at Chicago
letter in which he says:
Idon't want the place, but If the nomination
were rendered me could see no reason why
should not accept it. Some citizen in the dis.
trict has to discharge that duty, and can give
no reason why should not. If the nOmina-
ton were rendered me and I accepted, should
come home immediately and make an active
canvass of the district.
This is truly Washburnian. No member
of that distinguished family ever yet knew a
reason why he should not accept an office.
And it is probable that none of the breed
will ever discover such reason. Office is
the Alpha and Omega of the existence of
the entire tribe. Deprived of offices, the
whole family would sink into insignifcance,
and pass from public notice.
Elihu B. Washburne was, few months
ago, candidate for President of the
United States. While protesting to be par
ticular friend of General Grant, he permitted
the use of his name in the convention till his
patron had been killed off, fondly hoping
that when dark horses were mentioned, his
name would come up. He was disappointed,
and at once set sail for Europe. Now he is q
candidate for Congress. He will probably
be disappointed again. He will probably be
candidate for the legislature, or
for county commissioner, or for
pound keeper; but he will never

Following was a solo by Mr.. Buckelew. 'The

of even quality. great compass, and unusual
sweetness. She sings with no apparent effort,
and in this selection, which is calculated to tax
the capacity of an artists voice to the extreme,
she acquitted herself in excellent style. She
received an enthusiastic encore, to which she
responded with charming rendition of 1.-THE

polonaise from "Mignon' was rarely
superior production, and called out furore of
applause. Miss Litta responded to the testi-
monial with most exquisite Swiss song. in
which her capabilities as vocalist were fully
displayed. The concluding duo between MIR.
Buokefew and Miss Litta was. perhaps. the
feature of the evening. It was one of the
finest musical productions ever given in this

When the good people of st. Paul sat down
to their coffee and morning paper yesterday a
look of Mortified Amusement spread over many
face as the account was read of the last and
most terrible tragedy. The look of astonish-
ment gave way. to sterner expression, which
was manifested in no uncertain language and
on every side were to be heard excavations on
the spirit Of lawlessness, whose forcible argu-
ments, the knife, the bludgeon and the pistol,
have exercised their cruel logic with such an
utter disregard for human life of late in st.
Paul. It is right and highly proper that the
goodly people of st. Paul who live in quietand
retired houses should begin to not only enter
ment, born of righteous indignation at such q
wanton expenditure of life.
Throughout the city yesterday, the brutal
murder of young George Larkin by Robert
Barton, on Sunday night, was the absorbing
theme of conversation. Moreover, the people
have stopped to reflect about this thing, and
the belief is abroad that now ia is high time
for Someone to see to it that the law and
Justice which govern the reckless taking OF
human life be carried into strict effect.
Particulars of the dreadful tragedy appeared
in yesterdays GLOBE, and as shown by the
proceedings at the inquest, the account ther
gwen was in all essential points correct.
1t is pretty conclusively shown that wher
Larkin, Carr and DAILY encountered Barton and
Devlin in company with the young women
Miss Madigan and Miss Stevens, on Sixth
street, vulgar and highly inappropriate remarks
were made by Larkin or the other men on the
characters of the young women and their com
paniOns. Barton states that Larkin grossly
insulted the women, which was shown at thu
inquest yesterday afternoon. As before stated
this is how the trouble originated. Added Il
this. on the confession of young Carr. the
two men were riled by the imrutation Of
coward and they were dared to take it up,
AS to the rest, the meeting under the gaslight
the aggressive attitude of both parties, and tb'
sudden plunge of Burton's knife to his victim
heart, are all known to the public.

An Exciting Encounter Between a
8 Watersnake and a Rat. s..9..,

A workingmah ION Lindsay Point in
formed Mail reporter of terrible con-
fict between snake and rat, which
recently took place there. The snake
was of unusual size, and of asdiferent
appearance from those commonly found
in water. # The rat was. of the ordinary
brown variety, and was running along
the shore when the fight began. The
snake was coiled upon a little point of
mud just above the water, summing itself,
and probably asleep. The rat, apparent
lly without noticing the snake, ran direct
lyupon the folds Of the serpent's body.
The snake struck instantly, fastening its
fangs between the rats shoulders. Then
began contest that in its. small way
was truly thrilling. The rat, struggling
violently, ,endeayored to shake itself free,
while the snake as peristently tried to
drag the head Of its victim into its own
mouth. This feat it was at first unable
to accomplish. The rat was game, and
as it writhed in its convulsive efforts to
escape, bit the big snake severely in the
neck Just back Of the head, until the
blood flowed and mixed with its own.
These counter attacks became at last so
savagely painful that the snake loosened
its grip, remaining, however, in half-coil.
But the respite was too brief to afford
the rat an opportunity to escape, for
again the snakes fierce jaws descended
and closed, this time around the rats
head. The heavy body of the rat still
swayed violently, but dragged with it the
head of the snake, until the latter was
completely out Of coil. By this time,
however, the. rats struggle had become
comparatively faint, and the snake was
apparently the victor. But the next
moment the snake in its turn began to
struggle violently, as if to release its
adyersary's head, but Intellectually, and
the reason became soon apparent. The
rat had bitten quite through the snakes
throat, and its sharp teeth could be dis
tinctly seen in the narrow slit they had
made The writings of the snake were
now intense. 1t dashed the ground with
its tail, and raised its thick fold to almost
half it length from the ground. The
spectator stood hesitant, scarcely know
ing whether he ought, or not, to
interfere. The next moment he was
powerless in thepremises, for the snake,
with one last convullsive effort, threw
half its length into the muddy water,
and the doughty twain sank together to
a common death. -Stockton (Cat) Mail

4 Donkey's Deep Grief.

Newspapers, have often told stories
about the affection that dogs, horses
and other animals had for each other,
but we have never heard of a jackass be-
ing accused of any such tender senti-
ments. It is now our duty to record
the faithful love one donkey had for a
companion who had shared his lot for
so long. W. D.. WATSON went out to
Tioga district on a prospecting expedi-
ton, taking two jacks along to pack his
blankets, tools and provisions. In COM
ing down the mountain one of the long
cared freight transporters fell over a
precipice and broke his neck. The
other frightened the birds and the CO
MES in their burrows with the sound of
his lamentations. Mr.. WATSON tried to
coax the grief-stricken mountain barge
away, but the donkey only lifted up his
voice and wept, and would not be com
forted. Then he essayed to drive with
sticks and stones the noisy beast from
the scene of his lament But drive he
would not. The donkey remembered
how he and his beloved companion had
foraged together from handy clothes
lines; had in friendship masticated
fence-posts and sections of barb-wire,
and had contentedly nibbled such tender
morsels as old gunny-sacks and cast-of
overalls, or had assuaged keen hunger
with old boots AMI oyster cans, and
could not be induced to leave the spot.
The cruel master beat him terribly; still
his grief nerved him to obstinacy. The
master felled two or three large trees on
his back, but to no purpose. Finally,
the master, in despair, took the pack off,
and left him with dead. The last seen
0 him he was eating the cropping of a
quartz-ledge and weeping for his friend.

A Blind Mans Pleasures.

Prof. Fawcett, the blind member of
Parliament, says that, when at 25 he lost
his sight, there were many things. of
which he was passionately fond, and he
resolved that those pursuits which he
could follow he would. No one enjoyed
salmon fishing in the Tweed or the Spey
more than he did no one more enjoyed
throwing the fly In some quiet stream in
Hampshire or Wiltshire. He enjoyed
it as much as any one did a gallop over
the turf in company with some friend.
He appreciated all the health giving
vigor Of long row from Oxford to Lon
don !; and, although the frosts nipped up
a great many people, no one in the whole
country enjoyed letter than he, with a
friend, a fifty or sixty-mile skate on the
Fens. He referred to these facts in no
spirit Of egotism, but as showing that
there was still to the blind store of hap
piIiess and pleasure if only they had
the courage and determination to avail
themselves of il.

Watches a Hundred Years Too Slow.

the watches of the world be persuaded
to keep the same time. The watches of
France, in good many instances just
now, fail to go with perfect simultane
BUSINESS, and even in the case of the
grand National Fetes there is some
slight divergence in the, pulsation of
public opinion. For example, it is stat
ed in the Paris Figaro that the Countess
Fernand della Ferronnays, on receiving
from the Mayor of her reimbursement
printed invitation to hang out flags from
her outward walls by day and illuminate
them by night addressed to the NUM-
cipal functionary naughty, icy reply,
In which she declines in any way to CO.

honor to all the crimes of that revolu-
ton which broke out in 1889, and the
duration of which is not yet terminal

gentleman who, ON the morning of a
certain Fourth of July few years since,
happened to be an inmate Of hotel in

day?" The face of the stout gentleman
grew dark, and, in voice trembling
with passion, he Moderated "Do you
mean, sir. the unnatural rebellion
against my late and reverend sovereign,
King George Ill, of blessed memory ?"
The stout gentleman turned out to be
an Englishman whom the landlord had
mistaken for an American, ard it was
