The jackson Street Ravine That Was.

1Hc cdCASOu SOrccC INdVAuo Ahdt w dos
Old settlers often tell of the ravine which
once existed at the crossing of Jackson and
Fourth street, out of which Lot Moffett's
castle rose, story by story being added as the
ravine was filled, and along which ravine there
ran in the prehistoric days purling brook.
Fright about here" said one old settler the
other day, as he was watching the excavations
for Gilfllan's block, "stood Tom Howard S
tin shop" And sure enough they have found
pile of tin and iron scraps, buried when the
ravine was filled. "This bank of the
ravise," said another, was covered with bass
wood trees, which they cut down when the ra-
vine was filled. And there are the Eastwood
stumps or the indisputable remnants of them
to prove his assertion. But yesterday came a
more remarkable confirmation of an old set
TIERS memory. Judge Goodrich occasionlly
traces municipal jobbery in st. Paul back to a
certain stone drain or sewer which was laid
along the bottom of this sewer, and which,
for convenience of the contractor, was built
in winter on the surface Of the ice-covered
creek. The assessment for the sewer was
Father heavy, considering the value of
the property supposed to be benefited, and the
judge had to sell his lot at the corner of Jack
son and Fourth, to pay the assessment. To
test the ground with reference to making the
foundations of the Gilfllan block, a shaft has
been sunk to the bottom of the old rayine,
about thirty feet below the level of jackson
street, and there, at the bottom, the dggers
found the old sewer, or rather the stones of
which it was built, still in place, like an arch,

DEFERRED TELEGRAMS,
Cuban Gornrnment Arairs

NEW YORK, November pa letter dated
Havana, November 10th, says; The pro-
vincial deputation Of theprovince of Havan-
ma, has obtained, as result of the late par
tial elections, a majority of Autonomists,
the Governor-General of Cuba having the
credit to choose from the deputa'
ton certain members to form
its permanent commission, right
not possessed by the Government in Spain
and also the right 30 choose from a list OF
names submitted to him by the deputa-
tions, one to act as President. General
Blanco has selected Don Carlos Salading
for such Presidency, he being an Autono'
mist, the Permanent Commission, however
having a Conservative majority a Conserya-
tive has been chosen as the Vice-President
This arrangement is not satisfactory to
Automlnists, who say that the permanent
commission should have the same partisan
character as its majority in the deputation
Many predict that the anomaly of the per
manent commission formed by &
conservative majority picked out
of n body having an Au.
feminist majority, will lead
to constant controversy and alteration.

mystery about glucose that speaks of ways
that are dark, and aims that do not regard
the public good" Another writer asserts:
"rhat glucose is an unwhOles0me, villain
Gus thing to enter the human stomach IS
well known, and it is an outrage that one
cannot crafty his love of sweets without
great risk Of injury to his best iricnd-his
stomach"
Bus meanwhile, despite all this wholesale
dcnunCialiun, the use of glucose continues
to increase. 1t is made out of corn, pota-
toes and various other articles, and il is
estimated that the American factories
alluded to above converted 100000 bushels
of corn into glucose last year. Since
the glucose contains about 30 per cent. OF
liquid saccharlne, it is presumed to be worth,
for certain purposes, about One-third as
much as cane sugar. IL is extensively used
in syrups made from sugar cane, and
liquors requiring sweets in their manuiac-
ture are now believed to be swcetened with
glucose. The article enters very eIten.
siyely into the manufacture Of candy and
artificial honey.
But, against the quoted assertions
of the opponents Of glucose, We have
the statements of the best scieE
tiIic authorities of Boston, New
York and other cities, that pure glucose is
not only harmless, but is natural food
product. similar to what is formed by the
chemical action of the human stomach in
process of digestion of the very articles Of
which glucose is made. The authorities, OF
Washington also, have shown that corn
has valuable saccharine qualities in paying
| quantities. and that pound of Germ sugar
| is worth fully third as much as pound
Of cane sugar for sweetening purposes

until human nature radically changes, never
will be. The trouble with all such legis-
latiye attempts to crush out popular vices
is that they lack the one element of strength
that is necessary to secure the enforcement
of any and every law placed upon the stat
ute book, viz the moral sanction Of the
community for which it is enacted. Amy
law which does not receive that sanction
and which fails to receive the actiye-not
passiye-suppOrt Of the majority of
law.ablding citizens is about as easily
evaded as il it were not in existence.
Nobody will deny that the gambling pro-
pensity is very unfortunate trait of human
nature, nor that the world would be far bet
ter and happier If that propensity could be
utterly eJterminated without leaving some
equally pernicious propensity in its place.
But the fact remains that the passion for
gambling, in one form or another,
retains a powerful hold upon the descend
ants of Adam and there is small chance of
getting rid of it in this century or
the next, short of the fulfillment of Mother
Symptoms prophecy, or the advent of an
other flood without sufficient warning for
the building ofan Ark. Many men who
shun faro bank as moral pest-house,
will take chances in speculation far more
hazardous and equally ruinous with those
incurred at the gaming table, Another
man may have become convinced that
wheat speculation is mo better than gamb-
ling' and will for a time endeavor
to turn an honest penny by taking an occa.
sional deal in stocks; while yet another will
stake his fortune upon the output of a min
ing claim in Leadville or the San Juan
country. 1t is the passion for gambling
which furnishes the motive in every case,
from that Of the bootblaCk who planks
down his nickle on the keno board to the
solid citizen who stands in with the bulls
or the bears on the grain and stock eI'
changes.
A passion Of such universal dissemina-
ton can not be stamped out by the heel OF
the law. 1t can only be reached and con
trolled-if it can be reached and controlled
at abby moral agencies. If the individ-
unl members of the community can once
be convinced that gambling risks Of all
kiuds are in the long run dangerous, disap-
pointing and ruinous, the practice oftakins
such risks may be greatly diminished, il
not ultimately abolished.

A True Cause fer Regret.

1t makes the heart of every philanthro.
pist sad to see so many worthless patent
medicines pulled and advertised for the
cure of chronic diseases. Usually the rene.
dy' is some vile cathartic compound or aloo-
hoic preparation, combined with buchu,
turpcntinc or other severe diuretic that
| affords the invalid only temporary relief, but
which has no lasting effect, and in truth
eventually brings on a complication of dis
eases arising from state of WORKOUT and
exhausted digestive and urinary organs that
nothing but death can relieve. Invalids
should trust more to nature for their recoy-
cry. A gentle medicinal tonic that stimu-
latcs cnieebled digestion and strengthens
every part of the system by its soothing
and refreshing effect on both mind and
body, Is natures trucst and best assistant.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Btters, a
medicine surprising the sale of all other
remedies whenever its merits become
known, for II acts in such perfect harmony
with the laws Of life and health, that ali
pulmonary, urinary and digestive troubles
are prevented and permanently cured by
its timely use, II contains no alcohol, and
will not blaokon the teeth. Physicians and
ministers endorse and recommend IL.

POSTAL TELRGRApHY.

For several years past the question of the
establishing and maintaining by the Gov.
ernment of system of postal telegraphy
has been seriously considered. This would
materially increase the facilities for rapid
communication, thus taking grand stride
in national commercial progress, and, at
the same time, striking blow at monspo
lies, and diminishing the onerous tax i'm.
posed by these corporations upon the pres.
and commerce of the land. But it
would seem that the proper view
has never been taken of this matter. In.
deed, so divergent have been the views, in
Utopian and manifestly impracticable, that
the average American has but confused
idea of what is proposed to be done. 1t il
clearly without the province Of the govern
ment to establish q system of telegraphy
analogous to the monopoly of the postal
service. This branch of the gov.
eminent is founded upon tradi.
tional law and international custom
Corporations can neither be dispossessed OF
their property nor deprived of any priv.
leges plainly granted in the Constitution
so that any idea Of making the Government
sole owner and controller Of telegraph lines
is the merest nonsense and born of enmity
to American liberty. But it is, without a
question, within the power Of the federal
government to establish national
postal telegraph service, and enter
the arena as Il competitor with the
other established lines for public patronage
Not only is it the prerogative, but the ur-
gent needs OF the day make it duty. The
oulv question that could stand in the way
of such movement is its practicability
