a Bashful Young Mans Escape.


Some people never seem to get the
right idea of the subject somehow.
They were talking at McAllister's
the other evening of the sutferings of
the poor people turned out of doors
by the recent hurricane in the south
ern states, when bashful young man
with green necktic, who was silent
ly squirming on a straightforward
chair in a corner, was asked how
much exposure he thought it was pos
sible for human being to endure.
Exposure, mum! Yes, mum.
Well, the most terrible instance of
exposure l ever knew was something
that happened to myself u few years
ago.
"Indeed' said a young lady.
''Tell us all about it."
"Well, you must know, had a
great habit of walking out through
the park and strolling on the beach
near the Cliff house. One Sunday
morning, very early, I was tempted
by the extreme heat to slip into the
surf and take bath, which, as there
was no one around at that hour, I
finally did. Judge of my horror

IN JOHNNY BULLS DOMINION.
Minnesota, wisconsin, MichiGan, and the
Great Lakes, - seen by One
of Our Citfxsns,
SARNIA, ONr: Aug. 5, 1880.

s.-..4 MAMMA UNI AuS. d 1ooU.
FRIEND BOB: 1 hurridly wrote
you few lines from Duluth, in which
1 told you I would take the steamer
Japan for the grand tour of the Lakes.
We are now in Johnny Bulls domin-
ion, and having extra time on my
hands, thought I could not better
improve it than by sketcLing you .
few of the many things I have seen in
northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. These states are free
from malaria and the air is dry and
exhilerating and particularly grateful
to the over worked business man or
any one who desires rest and health.
These states, are favored by nature
SO many varying scenes 10 please and
lgratify the eye and mind, eyerywhere
you inhale the cool invigorating air
and you feel as if you had new lease
of life. As l wrote you before Duluth
is gaining great reputation for COM
mercial facilities. It is 155 miles
north of st. Paul and at the Eastern
terminus of the Northern Pacific r.
r. One thing peculiar to this place
is the dog trains, during the winter
months the mails are carried in
sleighs harnessed to these dogs and
they make 80 miles per day. An
old Indian Chief wraps his red blan-
ket about him and mounts his sleigh,
drawn by his dogs, with rs much dig
nifty as a Monarch. There are
great many Chippewa Indians here
and about Winnepeg and they live
principally by fishing and making
canoes, baskets and other trinkets of
birch bark and picking up Agatcs
and other specimens along the bays,
which they sell to the merchants.
You can see great many of them in
the bays of Lake Superior and Lake
Huron, in their little canoes fishing.
This is great iron and copper re-
gion. The iron and copper ore taken
from the mines in Michigan on Lake
Superior are immense. There are
also great quantities of silver ore
taken from the mines near Red Rock,
on the Northern shores of Lake Su-
perior. Two thousand tous of cop
per ore were taken from the Michi-
gan mines last month worth $500
per ton. These mines nearly supply
the whole world with copper. Along
the shores of Lake Superior and
Lake Huron the ground Lever freezes.
Snow falls to the depth of from fosr
to six feet and lays on all winter and
wheat looks green in the spring when
the snow goes off. BY the way
if Hancock's election depended on
North Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, he would stand poor
show-all for Garfield here-I did
not see Hancock pole until 1 got to
Detour, Michigan. A gentleman
took the vote of the passengers on
board the steamer Japan as we came
down Lake Huron last night, which
stood sc for Garfield, 13 for Hancock,
poor Weaver none.

Luman A. Brown.
Er,p, fh. JInuar,l rnnutx- t.l.art;s.,

FROM the Howard County Advertiser.
MIR. Luman A. Brown, the nomi-
nee of the Greenback party for Gov
ernor OF Missouri, we believe, claims
to be citizen of Howard county.
In looking over the Assessors list.
we find he pays taxes in Howard
county on S57 worth Of personal
property, consisting of one clock
valued at 81; one watch and chain,
valued at S25 and $50 worth of house
hold goods. A few years ago Mr..
Brown owned a good farm and some
stock, but now he does not own, or
at least does not report one foot of
land or a single animal of any kind.
1t is said that he went East a few
years ago after selling his land and
stock, and invested his money at his
old home, Connecticut, in bonds. If
this be true, and we have never heard
it contradicted, Mr.. Brown is there
fore a bloated bond-holder, whom the
Greenback party SO very much abhor.
And in addition to being a bond
holder, Mr.. Brown is also an avowed
enemy of public schools. In speech
two years ago at school meeting in
his. district, he said it was nothing
less than robbery to tax him to pay
for the education of other people 8
children when he had none of his
own. This alone may have caused
him to sell his property, and invest
his money where it could not be
found by the tax-gatherer.
So far as We are advised, MIR.
Brown has been acting with the
Democratic party since be came to
the State until two years ago, when
he was taken up by the Independents
after the Democrats refused to nomi-
nate him for the Legislature, and he
was beaten by Maj. Finks, receiv-
ing only $50 Votes of the 3,l78 votes
cast. He was elected to the Legisla-
ture IN 1871 on the Democratic tick
ct, and after serving several years he
run for the State Senate and was de-
feated. Since then he has been sour
at the party and has been drifting
around seeking revenge, and we pre-.
sumo he now thinks he has found it.
Mr.. Brown is man strictly fol-
himself, cold as an iceberg, neither
popular nor brilliant, and the noml.
nation shows the desperate straits to
which the party is put in the way ol
official timber. as.y-.t .alE

From the Republican platform:
''The constitution of the United
States Is supreme law, and not a
mere contract. Out of confederated
states it made a sovereign nation.
Some powers are denied to the ma
tion, while others are denied to the
state but the boundary between the
powers delegated and those reserved
is to be determined by the national
and not the state tribunals"
From Gen. Hancock's letter of
acceptance: 5s
'sThe constitution forms the basis
of the government of the United
states. The powers granted by it to
the legislative, executive and judicial

The Northsets sohoo. Meeting.
To the Editor of the Globe.

10 the Editor OF the GIobe
I notice that your Northseld correspondent
in his account of the annual school meeting in
this city Saturday evening 1.-THE professors
of the colleges, the teachers in the high schools
ministers of the churches, and the respectable
people of the city, on the one side, and on the
other slde-well, comparisons are odiouz and
it is best to say nothing"
Il was perhaps best for his purpose to say as
little as possible and not to tell the whole
truth, but it may be well to state further that
on the other side were what he would probably
call the non-respectable portion of the city
the principal part of the business men, the
merchants, mechanics aud laboring men, and
their candidates for school directors were John
Z. Ames, the present mayor; o. f. Perkins,
the county attorney of Rice county, and T. A.
Noble, one of the city council and chief of our
fire department, who have served creditably
on the school board for the past two years, and
were reelected by handsome majority.
Tae only teachers of the high school who
voted against them were two females who be-

Hennepln County's auditor.

If nothing more comes OF the trouble that
has lately broken out among the officials of this
county, the taxpayers have great reason to be
gratihed for what has already been accom-
plished. 1t has been shown that in several
cases at least there has been an abatement of
the interest and penalty on taxes which
amounts to the same thing, and is in fact an
abatement of the tax. This business has been
carried on secretly. When some of the COM
missIoners discovered it, and charged in
their report, it was denied with great vigor by
the auditor. Now, however, he has admitted
the truth of the charges.
But what concerns the public most is to know
how far this abatement business has been car
ried. IF there are some instances of such ac-
ton who knows but what there may be
many. If the county commissioners had had
their say in the matters in question, the pub.
lie would have less concern. But when the
work has been kept from the commissioners
and public just as long as possible, there are
reasonable grounds of suspicion that the audit
or has exceeded his authority in too many
cases.
And this suspicion has been greatly enhanced
by the conduct of Auditor Mcdonald. 1t was
very indiscreet on his part to rush into
print with charges against his
accusers as soon as he himself became involved.
and particularly so as matters have turned
out. Well informed men look upon the thirty
dollars postage stamp charge against Ward,
made by Mcdonald, as resulting most un-
favorably against the latter. Il was made
with great vehemence in all the papers, but
was SO far modified Monday, when put to the
test of furnishing proof as to virtually destroy
all its force. Ward is even censured by Demo-
Gratis for not denouncipg the auditor at the
meeting for making this bassless charge.
It was made for the single
purpose of vitisting the charges against him
self, and now that it has reacted against him,
confidence in his integrity is ocrrespondingly
lessened.
There are other interesting things on this
