BETTER THAN he DESERVED.

Paul Rldgeway stepped out of the cars
at tiny village, situated just back OF the
noble Hudson: and entirely unconscious,
to all appearance, that he Was for that mo-
ment the center of attraction. and source
OF wonder to the group Of loungers which
usually frequent village depots at the In
coming of train, he leisurely walked up
to the bar OF the neat little hotel and call
ed for glass of wine, which he drank
with certain off~hand carelessness that
proved that he was not d stranger at the
business. He then drew from his cigar
case real Havana-he always carried
them with him, for fear he could not
sometimes meet with the genuine article
and lighting it walked out upon the pi-
aZZa for smoke.
A man in ragged coat, with nose
shining forth like beacon light OF warn

and whispered shrilly,-
''Say, do you know that chap 20

grufiy answered in no very low tone OF
voice, as he scowled at the stranger.
Paul RidgewaY must have heard. but his
face did not betray the fact by the least
change from its former careless, Indifferent
expression. He threw himself down upon
the broad wooden settee by one of the open
windows of the bar room, and leaning bis
head back, appeared entirely absorbed in
the pale blue wreathes OF smoke curling
upward from his cigar.

And dimming with glad tears my eyes.

Death Of Ole Bull.

The world.renowned violinist, Ole
Bull, died at his home at Bergen,
Norway, Oh Wednesday, the 18th
inst. Ole Bornemann Bull was
born'at Bergen, Norway, in he
year 1910. He manifested a
great passion for music at an early
age. At the age of eight years he
had made such progress that he
played in the Philharmonic concert
then given. He made rapid advance
ment, but his father did not want
him to fritter away his time In such
a pursuit, and so sent him to the
University at Christiania, at the
age of Is. But he was soon dismiss
ed by the school authorities, because
he had taken temporary charse of an
orchestra at one of the theaters.
In 1929 he went to Cassel to study
with Spohr, but he was so coldly
received that in a moment of des-
podency he went to Gottingen and
commenced the study of law. His
fondness for this art, however, soon
interrupted this pursuit and he went
to Meriden, where he gave concert
with considerable success. While
at this place he had quarrel with a
fellow artist which resulted in a du.
Ell, i'll which his antagonist was NOR.
tally wounded. lie was then com.
PEELED to leave the country, when he
went to Paris, where he was reduced
to such misery that he attempted to
drown himself in the Seine, but was
saved by the aid Of a lady of rank,
who took great interest in HIM be-
cause she thought he resembled Il
dead son.
Ole Bulls first concert tour was
made in the year 1881, soon after
which he was brilliantly successful
in the European capitals. He came
to America in 1843. In 1852 he
bought 49, acres of land in Penn.
sylvania, where he founded a Swe-
dish colony. Afterwards he met
with financial reverses and resumed
his profession, both in this country
and in Europe. In 1870 he married
Miss Thorpe, daughter of a promi-
nent citizen of Wisconsin. His
first wife was Partisan lady.

St. Paul was visited by a very
disastrous fire at 2 clock last Mon
day morning. The fire broke out
in the fourth story of the extensive
wholesale paper house Of Averill,
Russell & Carpenter, and had made
such Roadway when discovered that
the fire department. was unable to
check the flames, and the building
with all the contents were speedily
consumed. The fire communicat-
ed to the adjoining large wholesale
grocery house of ?. H. Kelly & Co.,
aud that too, with the entire stock
Of groceries was devoured by the
fierce element. The wholesale
grocery establishment of Beaupre,
Allen & Keogh and the dry
goods establishment of Auerbach,
Finch, Culbertson 4 Co., imme-
diately across the morrow street
were saved with difficulty. The
loss is estimated at $615, 200, on
which there is supposed to be an
aggregate insurance of $3.50, 900.
1t is reported that one man was
crushed under the walls of the KEEL
ly building. Mr.. Kelly was absent
in New York at the time of the fire.
At $50 a. m. four hours after the
discovery of fire, and while the
ruins were yet blazing, Mr.. Kelly
was again ready for business. The
destruction Of these two extensive
wholesale houses is serious calam-
ity for st. Paul. Both firms were
doing the largest business in their
respective lines in the State.

John Browns Son.

Owen Brown, son of old John
Brown, who was a participant in
that famous affair at Harpers Ferry,
which cost his father his life, lives
alone upon an Island in Lake Erie,
where Jay Cooke once had ia
nous summer residence, near the
scene Of Perry's Victory. He nev.
er married, though he was engaged
to be married before he went to
Kansas. He is described as tall and
stoop- shouldered, with sandy beard
prinkled with white, blue eyes,
pleasant voice, and an air Of gentle
ness such as would not be expected
in a. person who has been m actor
in such exciting scenes. A recent
visitor thus describes the room in
he lives: "a gun stood in one cor
ner, and fishing tackle in another.
A table was covered with books, pa
pers, a lamp, dishes, sewing materl-
al by which his sewing was done
without outside help, and dozen
and one little contrivances tn It need
not be described. A cook-stove, a
few chairs, a model Of a boat, and a
few articles of clothing completed
the furnishing, and rounded the u.s.
ua] idea of bachelors apartments. =
Quiet as is his present life, it is on
record that he was among the cool
est and the bravest when fighting
was to be done, and in his charac-
teristics he is the son who most re.
sembles his father. His brother
John lives near him, on Put-in-B Bay
Island, where he farms and fishes,
and is the head of a family. One
brother was killed in Kansas, and
two at Harper's Ferry.

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, D. c., Aug. 18th, 1880.
The Democratic party is rapidly
forcing the North into the realiza-
ton Of the fact that to preserve from
destruction it's immense business and
commercial interests, the success Of
the Republican party is an absolute
necessity. At this time, where both
sections are struggling for suprema-
cy, this comparative wealth and I'M
portance should be taken into consi-
deration. The cardinal maxim of
our government is the greatest good
to the largest number. Or in other
words that best apply to this subject,
the section paying the largest sum
to the support Of the government,
and having the largest interests at
stake, should have the greatest inau-
ence in directing and shaping the
controlling policy. If the Democra-
tic party wins, the South will again
dictate to the nation. What inter
ests have the planters at the South
with northern factories, railroads
banks, commerce &c? None at all.
Theyhave no industries Of their own
to protect, and is it reasonable to
suppose they would give to them the
fostering care that has so distin-
guished the Republican party! It is
absurd to suppose so for moment.
The success Of the Democratic party
would In reality be a return to the
times of 1860. When government
6 per cents, were worth but 80 cents
on a dollar, and when small loan
Of $25, 600, 900 exhausted the markets
for six months.
The government receives its sup.
port from Internal Revenue taxes
and custom duties. OF internal re-
venue the South pays II per cent. Of
the entire amount, and Of that 95
per cent is from tax on whiskey and
tobacco. OF custom duties the South
pays but 81 per cent Of the entire
amount, and yet in spite Of this poor
showing the South is now pleading
for controlling power, and expects
Northern men to aid them in secur.
ing it. Then again, the greater
part Of the revenue collected from
the South is returned to it in river
and harbor improvements and the
CONSTRUCTION Of public buildings.

London a long way ahead.

The four largest cities in the
United States-New York: Phila-
delphia, Brooklyn, and Chicago
have total population of 3, 1l3, 664.
In 1870 their population was 2,311,
$50. They have, therefore. increas-
ed about a third in the ten years.
If they keep up this rate of growth
ten years longer their total popula.
ton in 1890 will be over 1000, 900,
or an average Of 100000 each.
Yet now the population of these
four cities, Of whose growth we are
SO proud, taken together, falls short
of the population Of London alone.
Even if we added St. Louis, we
should not make up as many people
as London contains. If we put in
Washington also, we get an aggre-
gate population about equal to that
of London. London therefore, con.
tains about as many people as New
York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Chicago, St. Louis, and Washing
ton, together. Though the latest
census of that city was taken s years
ago, its increase has been carefully
estimated, and the population
is now put at 3,62O,s6e, a to-
tai which is probably within the
actual figures. The aggregate pop
ulation of the six American cities
which we have named is 1860,
684.
And even ten years from now,
if London continues to grow at the
rate of increase which it has shown
during the last eight years, it will
have population equal to that of
our four greatest cities put togeth-
ef. 1t will contain over 1900, 900
people. These comparisons are not
only interesting; they are valuable
also. They may tend to subdue a
boastful spirit not uncommon in
new and growing countries, and
they help US to form some concep.
ton of the magnitude of the greatest
cities the world has ever seen. AS
Stunning continuance of it's present
rate of increase for a century to
come, some English writers have
imagined London as swollen to a
capital of more than 10,0000.0 0C
population. But there mo war.
rant for any such estimate, for his
tory teaches that great cities even.
tually reach the limit of their growth
and thereafter show decline
When that period will be attained
by London, however, is beyond the
reach of anything like safe calcu.
lation, but the indications are that
it will have been passed before the
next century is over.-New York
