SANITY EMBELLISHMENTS Notes.
ST. PAUL MEN AND HORSES.
Dunton's Spirit of the 9th devotes con-
siderable space to st. Paul under the above
heading, written by Mr. Dunton himself,
giving q most interesting chapter of per-
sonal and horse gossip, from which We ex
tract literally, regretting only that other de-
mands prevent the reproduction of tho ar
ticle entire. Commencing with the appear
ance of the city, MIR. Dunton says;
In st. Paul the opinion seems to prevail that
they derive no benefit from the life of the miser
unless it comes from his death. Moreover,
success comes SO easy to their business men
that they scarcely measure it. There is a
warmth about the friendship of st. Paulite
that seems to express this scripture: Thine
own friend, and thy fathers friend, forsake
not" A religion that challenges the admira-
ton of all denominations. We found no squad
of mourners weeping over poor circumstances
or bad business. This is shadowy outhne-of
the business men of st. Paul who congregate at
the Merchants hotel various occasions to
partake of Col. Aliens well and generously se-
lected viands. And here is a landlord who
leans as resolutely to the side of generosity as
any one among them, and such turning
to account of every civility was
which roll sea of care from the
soul of tho traveller. Indeed l may say of st.
Paul, that she rever put on more prosperous
appearances, and her business men seem as
happy as if they had just come from some
great supper where they bad been royalty en-
tertained.
Getting down to horses and the men who
drive them, We SUMMARIZE from MIR. Dun
tons mention as follows:
