GA MAN AS WAS WRONGED."

If it had been pleasant day, and if
we hadn't all been out of sorts with our
luck, we should have had a word of
welcome for the stranger as he entered
our camp that wretched afternoon. AS
it was. fifty of us saw him leave Chi
nese Trail at Dead Mans Elbow and
walk into our camp, and never a man
rose up to salute him.
The stranger seemed to expect just
such reception. That is, he didn't
seem bit surprised. He passed down
the single street we had named Road
to Riches, turned to the left at the lone
pine tree, and without once looking
around him he staked off claim and
began to erect shanty.
bad man, I'm afeared," growled
Judge Slasher as he partly closed one
eye and gave the stranger the benefit
of the squint.
"Bin bounced out of some camp fur
stealiu'," added the big chap from Ken
lucky.
"Tell you, he's got hang-dog look"
put in the man known as "Ohio Bill"
Every man in the camp was down on
the fresh arrival, and that without
cause. Ordinarily we were n jolly set,
and n stranger coming among us met
with words of cheer, but that afternoon
the devil was to pay. The three mules
belonging to the camp had strayed off
and been gobbled by the Indians, and
Oh the heels Of this discovery came the
announcement that we had only salt
enough 70 la>t two days, while the SUI
gar was entirely gone.
So We we're cross-grained and out of
sorts, and it was lucky for the stranger
that he gave us no excuse to pick
quarrel. The next day was bright and
fair, aud if it hadn't been for Judge
Slasher some of us would have gone
over and excused our manners and
asked the stranger to chip In and be-
come neighborly, but the Judge said:
Hes bad un, he is. 1 kin tell it
by the way his head is set on his body.
Fust thing we know a committee will
come along here and gobble him up fur
robbery or murder
Two weeks had passed, and while
some Of us had given the stranger
curt good morning" no one had struck
hands with him, or entered his shanty
TO smoke a friendly pipe. Then q
climax came. The six of us occupying
our shAnty we're working in common,
and our bag of dust was buried IN
corner Of the fireplace. One morning

Awake, the sun Is up, arise and sally forth,
We've had a rain or Jewelry from out the IN
zen north;
The earth Is robed In dazzling white,
Each tree Il hung with gems,
And diamonds, In ten thousand shapes,
Arc hanging from their stems.
Each bush and every humble shrub,
With precious stones Is strung;
And all the purest, brightest things
In handrulls round are lung.
The emerald, and the amethyst
The tOpaZes behold;
And here and there n ruby red
Is sparkling in the cold.
The chrysolite and jasper see,
And that bright sarlon stone,
But great as was King solomon,
lie, nor the house he made;
Were dressed In such magnilcence
As Thou hast here displayd!
The Beach tree stands In rich array
or long and shining thread,
Its brital boughS all bending low
TO earth their dropping heads:
And now and then n broken Limb
Comes crashing from on high;
And showering down world OF geIoe,
That sparkle as they ny.
The lofty Oak, the hundred limbd
BrIarius OF the trees,
Spreads out his pond'rous, icy arms,
Loud cracking in the breeze -
And as the reused Lion shakes,
The dew drops from his NAME
So does the Woodland Monarch shake.
Ills chrystals DER the plain.
But time would fail to tell us all
The bright and starry host,
Tie north wind brings to echant the worlt
Out OF the realms OF frost;
The Ineanest thing, the most deformed,
The dry, and sapless bough,
The Dramble and the rugged thorn;
Are pure and spotless now!
Ye counsellors OF earth come forth,
Ye Princes who have gold,
Your diadems We Kings bring here,
The Jewel'd crowns We hold
Come woman in thy ornaments,
In all their costly sheen,
And let them be the lovellest ones
That ever graced Queen.
This grass that's trodden under foot
This weed with branching arms,
Thus gllttertng in the morning sun,
Hath nfty-fold your charms;
Then cast your baubles vile away,
And bend in solemn thought
To Him who hath this gorgeous scene,
From storm and tempest wrought
Yet this fair pageant soon must fade
Before the breath Of noon;
And by the fiat from on high
Your wealth shall fade as soon.
Oh! lay not worthless riches up
But those which at the Judgment day,
Through Christ will then avail.

The British Grain Trade.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Mark Lane Express
in its review of the grain trade last week,
says the weeks weather has been favorable for
sowing, which is progressing rapidly. Farm
ers, on account of the difficulty of obtaining
sound seed wheat, prefer sowing last years.
Our water-logged native wheat sells chiefly
mixing with hard foreign, which is thereby
embarrassed in value. In London sales of ma.
tive have been weakening since Monday. Sales
were difficult on Friday, at reduction
of shillings. Supplies are large and the de-
mand for foreign. Demand Inanimate.
On FridBy prices declined shilling and some
timed No. red winter hard for 4 shillings,
which was obtained. Australian firm; half
weeks supply American, which declined in
Liverpool and Q per cent. Flour considera-
bly, cheaper Foreign in small supply; rates
therefore unchanged. Barley for grinding
continues depressed. While samples realize
high prices, 1t is evident that level of the
value of mailing barleys will have to be estat,-
lished on foreign cases. Oats depressed;
prices unchanged. Foreign oats dull. A
small business was done at unchanged rates.
In maize there was very slow trade. Prices
Cd cheaper everywhere. Sales of English
wheat during the week, 6l,39S quarters, at

ORGANIZE AND KORK.

The Democratic State Central Committet
held meeting yesterday and inaugurated
measures for active work for the remainder
of the campaign. Hon. VIM. Crooks was
selected as chairman of the committee mos
excellent selection, and one which renders il
certain that vigorous measures will be in
augurated. Gen. johnson, the Democratic
nominee for governor, is meeting with great
favor at all points which he visits. The Re-
publican nominee does not dare to take the
stump. In fact that organization
is so demoraized by internal
di.sensions, that no work is being done of any
description. 1t behooves the Democrats to
pursue the reverse policy. They have a splen.
did ticket and square platform. Every effort
should be made to bring out the votes on
election day. See that tickets are in the hands
of voters, and that the voters come to the
polls, and even the most sanguine will be sur
prised at the result.
Twenty days more remain, and a great deal
can be accomplished in that time by proper
effort

Attempt to Burn q Ship,

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE police have been

blaze. When in fear OF the ship being burned
we sunk them. Four bottles, smelling of
phosphorus and gasoline, were found near the
location of the fire. Two visitors to the ship
are suspected and the police are looking for
them. What connection the affair may have
with the present troubles in Ireland is not
now known.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

The main topic of discussion in Legislative
circles yesterday, as for some days past
was the senatorial succession. Lieut. Gov
Gilman's candidacy, announced in the GLOBE
of yesterday, was genuine surprise to great
many, and maHy who had not heretofore con-
sidered his name In connection with that
office avowed their intention of giving him

Those who know anything at all about the
status of affairs will appreciate the absurdity
of such claim.
The number of Republicans who are OBJ
posed to holding a caucus, and who aver that
they will not go into secret conclave if one is
held, is increasing almost hourly. The OBJ
ponents Of the old regency that has for so
long dominated the state are especially CD
posed to the caucus, and declare that, having
beaten the ring at the state convention in Sep

of that victory snatched from them. They
will oppose caucus in the first place, and if
overruled will make themselves conspicuous

THE NEW CAPITOL.

Shall 1t be a Substantial and Fire Proof
Structure?
Yesterday the senate committee public build
ipgs, with Gov Pillsbury ard architect Burlington
met to talk and consider the resolution of SEN
ator @. D. Gfan that the plans of the structure be
so changed as to provide for Its being made as
nearly fire proof ss possible.
twill be remembered that the last legislature ap
propriated $500 for rebuilding The cspitol upon
The old ste, 1t being supposed that all nearly all
the basement walls could be utilized. The plans
even with the old basement in showed that Gil
900 would be needed and citizens Of ST. Paul offered
to advance the difference between that amount and
the al preparation pending another session OF the
legislature.
When it came, however, to critical ms oection of
the basement walls It wss found that all would have
o come down. This male revision Of the plans or
more money ne esssry when the st. Paul committee
agreed to advance the sum necessary up to $4,000

Under these circumstances the pl.ns upon
which the structure is being built
was commenced, and contracts have
been le amounting TO about $4,000 which will put
the building under roof leaving all the Interior yet
uuprov ded for Owing to the great advance in ma
teiRl and cost of labor it is now estimated that it
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 to COM
piete the building under the present plans.
Mr.. Gilfillans resolution, however, contemplates
char ge of these plans, by putting in iron st ir-
ways. ORDERS etc., brick partlt ons, and fire walls
and that every means possible shall be used to make

another $4,000 to the COST bringing the total up to

dent. A few base their hopes of success up
on general acouiescence by the Republicans
in the decision of the caucus. Others claim
that in the open legislature Window will have
clear majority of both houses. Marshal
McLaren claims seventy-five on the first bal
lot; Collector Bickel will not be content with
less than eighty, while DIR. Day says he doesn't
care blasphemy what Window gets, but
will wager a pipeful of tobacco that the dis
tinguished statesman will walk over the

On the bond question there was an i'm
proved feeling. Many members who visited
their homes during the recess have returned
with determination to endeavor to fix the
matter up as soon as possible. They report
that their constituents have come to the conclu-
shin that the bonds must be paid sooner or later,
and that it is best to accept the compromise Of
fered by the bondholders at this time, thus
saving some four millions of dollars, than to
wait for year or two and pay hundred
cents on the dollar. A meeting of the senate
finance committee was held yesterday al
which the Pillsbury bill for the adjustment Of
the bonds was discussed at considerable length
Considerable diversity of opinion was mani
tested relative to the outside claims
and the meeting was somewhat
stormy. 1t is probable, however, that TIT
bill, with few amendments, will be favorabl,

by the cries of boys about the ''lost balloon"
She has the utmost confidence in her husband,

The chief cause of anxiety is the fact that the
