A War Against Tipping.

Pete V. Nasby, in his last London
letter to the Toledo Blade, SAYS "Oh
my countrymen. 1t is my duty to warn
you against great impending danger.
The system of tipping is gradually but
surely getting its rapacious fingers upon
your vitals. 1t has its clammy grasp
upon your sleeping cars it is gradually
working into hotels and everywhere
else. Strangle the monster in its in
fancy. Declare war upon it at once and
fight it to the death. Refuse to pay the
sleeping car porter for what you have
already paid the corporation of which
he is an excrescence. Refuse sternly to
fee the servant at hotel, the porter who
handles your trunk, and the man who
waits upon you at table. When he says
to you, My wages aresmall, and must
have fees say to him kindly but firmly,
Either make the proprietor pay You
proper wages or quit his employ. If
you cannot plow or hammer stone, go
out quietly and die for the good of the
many. 1t is not necessary that you
should wear swallow-tailed coat and
make more for trivial services than the
average mechanic does for hard days
work. We will none of it.
"And so shall you rid yourself of the
most Internal nuisance that affiicts Eng
land, the one petty worriment that
makes the life of the tourist unhappy.
We can endure a giant monopoly, but
these petty tyrannies are unbearable.

Mr.. Cash's Little Joke.

An old peddler named Cash, well
known to most of the citizens of Wash
ington, hit upon novel plan one day
last week to regain the affections of his
wife and step-children, which he had
lost by going home very drunk the night
before, when they drove him from home.
The next day the old man went to the
house and knocked at the door, and his
wife appeared, to whom he stated he was
i'll and begged her to let him in. Be-
lieving he was really sick, the wife ad-
mitted him, when in few moments he
fell over on the floor apparently dead.
The neighbors were called in and the old
man was pronounced gone, sure. They
began to array him in his best suit and
fix him up for burial, the old lady, in
the meantime, crying and calling on
the dead man to speak just once more,
and accusing herself of hard heartedness
in turning him out of doors. All of a
sudden the supposed corpse turned over,
and, seeing his wife crying, called to
her, saying he forgave her, and asked
for himself which she readily
granted, and at last accounts they were
getting along soomthly.

4 ROMANCE ENDED.

And this is the end of it all 1t rounds the
years completeness;
Only walk to the stile, through fields afoam
with sweetness;
Only the sunset light, purple and red on the
river.
And lingering, low goodnight that means
good-by forever.
So be it and God be with you 1t had been
perhaps more kind
Had you sooner pardon the word) been sure
of knowing your mind.
Who can bear so much in youth-who cares
for swift, sharp pain?
And the two-edged sword of truth cuts deep,
hut it leaves no stain
shall Just 60 back to my work. to my little
household cares,
That never make any show. BY time, perhaps
in my prayers
l may think of you for the rest on this way
we've trodden together
My foot shall fall as lightly as if my heart were
feather
And not womans heart strong to have and
to keep,
Patient when children cry, soft to lull them to
sleep;
Hiding its secret close, glad when anothers
hand
Finds for itself gem where hers found only
sand
Good-by! The year has been bright as oft
as the blossoms come.
The peach with its waxen pink, the waving
snow Of the plum,
/ shall think how used to watch, so happy TO
see you pass,
could almost kiss tho print of your foot on
the dewy grass.
l ann not ashamed Of my love; Yet would
not have yours now,
Though you laid it down at my feet l could
not stoop so low.
A love is but half leve that contents itself
with less
Than loves utmost faith and truth and un-
wavering tenderness.
Only this walk to the stile; this parting word
by the river,
That flows so quiet and cold, going and flowing
forever.
"Good-by y Let me wait TO hear the last, last
sound of his feet
Alb me but think in this life of ours the
bitter outweighs the sweet.

The British commander had landed
with only boats crew, and stood there
alone. But he merely stepped to the
window and pointed to the fleet.
"You may put me to DEATH" he said !;
" but yonder are enough of my country
men to make my funeral pyre of your
palace"
The demand for damages, by capture
of English ships and goods, was met by
disputes. AS Muley Mahomet Effendi
frankly admitted, My yielding to you
will cost me my head;" so the matter
became entangled for months in cores
pondence. Keppel learnt that the mon
arch's secretary was John Dyer, the man
who had bearded him, and was furious
to have him handed over to him.
"But it is contrary to our law to give
upa convert, answered the Dey, though
wearied at the importance of his secre-
tary. "But come, as he has been de-
fiant rebel to me, and it is death on
either side, I will take off his head"
Keppel accepted this solution, and
our barber was executed.

A Tragic History.

Speaking of Edwin Booth and his
many sorrows, the New York correspond
dent of the Utica Herald says No
other histrionist ever had such a shad-
owed experience. Such lien as Garrick
and John p. Kemble each seems to have
had an unbroken career of success.
The misfortunes of George Frederick
Cooke and of Edmund Kean were solely
due to inremperance. Forrest was uni
formly successful, and left the largest
fortune ever made by any tragedian.
Booth, on the other hand, has gone
through a series of misfortunes, which
at one time threatened to crush his in
tellect. 1t includes the miserable con-
dition of his father the atrocious crime
of his brother, who assassinated Lin
coin the death of daughter, who was
the idol of his affections the failure of
his grand scheme of an establishment
devoted to the highest walk of the
drama, to which he devoted the best
part of mis- life and in which he sunk an
immense fortune. The most wonderful
tragedian of the age was at last sold out
by the sheriff. His wife had, as it was
supposed, a rich father who might
afford assistance, but he, too. failed,
and they all sank together. The sur
vivor of such series of calamities must
naturally be an object of public interest
aside from his commanding genius.
Edwin Booths history is in itself a
tragedy"

the husband cried, in great excitement.
The bystanders anticipated a tragedy,
and the wife covered into seat. "Here's
your child" he continued, producing a
little girl. "Reckon you forgot her in
your hurry. Now you can get off as
fast as you like" Leaving the girl with
the runaway pair, he drove away with
his placidity entirely restored.

STAND UP.-Actlng on a theory that
human beings were made to stand up
right, and therefore ought never to lie
down, a Californian sleeps in an appara-
tus which sustains him comfortably in
a perpendicular position. A Nebraska
physician is equally certain that the
vital organs are injuriously affected by
being iolted downward in walking, and
to counteract this he gravely stands on
his head five minutes every day.

LADIES LAND LEAGUES.

Reply to BisItop Graee's Structure Upon
Their Formation.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The Right Reverend Bishop Of st.
Paul, in public address delivered on St.
Patrick's day, is reported to have said:
But there is one thing in st. Paul from
which must withhold my approval. 1t is
the forming of ladies' leagues. There is
something repulsive IN this calling out of the
mothers and daughters from their homes to
form leagues and political clubs for the dis
cussion of questions foreign to their minds,
their training and their duties as mothers of
families and guides to THEN daughters. This
forming of LADIES' leagues, ] am glad to say,
did not originate with the women themselves.
It is foreign to their womanly instincts and an
infringement upon the sacredness of the home
life.
From so high an authority the charges
contained in this extract are very grave,
and bear heavily upon whoever has been
the means Of drawing the ladies of St..
Paul into so unbecoming a position. Had
been publicly struck II. the face by my
own father / could not have been more
astonished than was upon reading this
extraordinary announcement. The more
profound my veneration for the authority,
the deeper is the feeling produced by
these charges. I, Mr.. Editor, and !
alone, am responsible for the organization

AN INTERPRETING FIRM.

The Grsot Wholesale Drug House Of Noyes
Bres. d O,ttsr-St. Paul as o Bsssiness
Confer. g." --- i-
During oil the dull times resulting from
the winters blockade we have noticed
one house, at least, apparently unaffected,
whose business never seems to have any
let up, and with whom the only difference
seems between busy and more than busy.
The preparations OF Noyes Bros. & Cutler
for their spring trade have, however,
been going on. for VIC have noticed in
creased force, a thorough renovation and
the fine decoration of their office, adj
ditional desk room and conveniences
otherwise for the transaction of an en-
larged trade. The receipt and opening
of thirty or forty cases of imported mer
chandize, the duties on which were over
1880, marks new era in the history of
importstions 1T the ot. Paul custom
house. They would he large addition
to any stock Of fancy goods and druggists,
sundries in the county.
Among their orders we have seen de-
mands for goods from Montana, Utah,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Dakota, Iowa and
Wisconsin, and we hear of other States and
Territories also being represented in the
wide circuit of their trade. So far as IA
cilities for business are concerned, no
drug house in the United States has any
advantage over this representative st.
Paul house. One of the largest Chicago
drug houses wrote them not long since,
asking information regarding improve
ments in their office and other
arrangements, in order to model
their own Office after that
of their young and enterprising rival in
the Northwest In the recent blockade a
small train of freight cars were loaded
with goods for this house. In window
glass alone 100 carloads last season were
shipped to Noyes Bros q Cutler. In
white lead and oils, in field seeds, in
naval stores, in soapmakers' and soda
water manufacturers supplies they lead
the trade. In brewers articles also their
trade il very heavy. No drug house has
been more prominent in the effort now
being pressed to successful conclusion
to secure relief Of retail druggists from
the very burdcnsome and annoyinn stamp
tax on medicines and druggists articles.
1t is, curious to note how jealous the old
towns down river (once likely to be-
como distributing points, have be-
come Of st. Paul, but they have got to
learn that this is the business center of
the whole Northwest and our leading bus
mess houses are fully equal to the emer-
gency soon to be met, when they shall be
called upon to supply 1t all with needful
merchandise.
No kind Of business here is better rep
resented than the drug trade, and none
will probably be allowed to lead it in
rapidly Of developments and in success
full enterprises The low freights from
the East to st. Paul, the facilities for
business here, the capital, intelligence,
experience and resources of our whole
sale merchants have long since made it
very Improbable to ignore this market,
and to-day in drugs, paints, oils, glass,
etc, IS in many other lines of merchan-
disc, it is by far the best market Of the
West for buyers.

court is especially formidable in the
Seventh judicial circuit, composed Of the

This circuit has now no representation on

which Matthews halls, has already three,
including the chief Justice. It is held
that . judge residing the circuit would

siding elsewhere, and there is much force
