PERSONAL.

II. E. Boen, of Otter Tail county, has come
down to help organize the Legislature and
is stopping at the Merchants.
Hon NJ. T. Cornish, of Hector, Renyille
county, Representative-elect, arrived yesterday
from New York, accompanied by Mrs
Cornish.
A mistake has been made in announcing Mr.
s. G. Eldridge, of Mower county, as candi-
date for an assistant secretaryship. He is O
candidate for postmaster of the House.
Mr.. r. T. Flournoy, of the lumber line, ha s
returned from q trip through to Sioux City
Omaha, Council Bluffs, and other points in
that direction. Coming home he was block
AIDED by snow drifts several times, and had g
rough time generally.
Two Representatives, by the name OF
Campbell, who both represented Wabashaw
county, are in the city to meet the incoming
Big Stone county, and Hon. s. l.. Campbell,
who remains a Wabashaw county man.
The followin nagmed members of the legis-
lature have engaged rooms for the session at
the Metropolitan: S. p Stewart, W. r. Bald
win, T. 3. Clement, and r. A. Mott, Rice
county; John F. Norrish, Dakota county;

r. B. johnson, Faribault county.
Last evening Mr.. E. S. Lghtbourne, foreman
of the GLOBE composing room, was surprised,
when the hour for composition arrived, to
find none of the printers at their cases. He
was still further surprised when Mr. James
Palles, assistant foreman, stepped out from
the knot of men gathered in the room, and in
a few appropriate words presented him with a
ably inscribed, as token of the esteem in
which he is held by the GLOBE compositors
The gift was most worthily bestowed, and was
appropriately acknowledged.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

Caught by an Elevator Belt at the Capitol
Mills-One Arm Broken and Splintered--
The Other Stripped of Flesh.
Periodically the public are shocked by
the details of horrible mill accident re-
sulting in the loss of limb or life and
sometimes both, St. Paul has had her
share of these calamities and the new
year starts off with another most dis
tressing accident, which took place at
Archibald & Schurmeier's mill yesterday
afternoon.
The accident took place about o'clock
and the victim, a millwright named
Jacob Brack received injuries which may
result in his death. At the time named
Brack, was engaged at work near the
shafting that runs the elevator, when his
arm accidentally caught in the betting,
the force being such as to draw him to-
wards the ceiling.
His arms were fearfully twisted and
torn IN the ascent, and when he dropped
to the floor it was supposed from his
bleeding and mangled condition that he
must be dead. DR.. Davenport was sum-
moned, and it was found that his right
arm had been broken and splintered be-
low the elbow, while the left arm was so
fearfully larcerated as to be almost desti-
tute of flesh.
He bled terribly and it was thought
that he must die from loss of blood He
rallied sufficiently however, to be remov-
ed to St. Joseph's hospital While the
worst may be averted he will no doubt he
crippled for life. 1t is thought that there
were no internal injuries, the only appar-
ent ones being about the arm.

CHANGE in the sheri57s Office.

The alembic of time on this old and
happy go-lucky world of ours makes
some fantastic mutations. Under no con-
dition of life is this truth so cogently
illustrated as in the ever changing tide
that beats so restlessly around the throne
of office. To-day the successful candi-
date is borne gallantly in on the wave of
public preferment, amid the CALCULATIONS
of the elect and the huzzas of the crowd;
tomorrow, for year is as day, he
makes way for his successor and the
scene is witnessed over again.
By majority of the American people,
rotation in Office is regarded as the very
palladium of our peace and liberty. 1t
may be this and more, but at any rate it
is regarded as big thing, and is so ac-
copied
Apropos to this, was the induction to
Office, yesterday morning, of Sheriff elect
Richter, and the consequent retirement
of Sheriff King. Everybody in Ramsey
county is familiar with the resslts of the.
November election, and it is unnecessary
to allude to them now.
Yesterday being the time, and the county
Jail the place for the induction of the new
sheriff, pursuant to invitation, quite a
goodly number of citizens assembled at
the jail building, yesterday morning, to
witness or participate in the ceremonies
of turning over the Office. There is an
oriental adage to the effect that it is the
duty of men to adore only the rising sun.
In this case the adage is only applicable
by way of contrast or exception, the fact
being more felicitous gathering, where
the honors were more evenly divided,
never assembled in Ramsey county.
1t is impossible to imagine more cordial
or friendly relations between a retiring
and new incumbent, or greater degree
goodfellowship or feeling than that
universally manifested yesterday morn
ing.
The company assembled at 10 O'Clock
in the Office or reception room of the Jail,
which, with its newly papered walls,
handsome brussels and clean mating,

case that good resolutions are soon for
gotten. Thousands who on New Years
day think themselves sincere in their in
tentions forget all about them with
in few days or weeks at most, and
gradually fall back into their old ways.
Often the close of the year finds them in

beginning, for evil-doing grows on man.
kind with each recurring sun. At first
the progress downward may be slow-al-
most imperceptible-but it keeps on in
creasing till it attains fearful rapidity
"Broad is the road and easy is the way
that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be that find it,
Strength of mind is essential to resist
temptation. There may be few weak
mortals who have not force of character
enough to resist the seductions of vice,
but the majority of men and
women are so constituted that they
can if they will live lives
above reproach, and smother the sinful
desires that may arise in their breasts.
To these the SUNDAY GLOBE addresses its
exhortations. If you have resolved to be
less petulant, less uncharitable, more
like the master than in the past, continue
there year 1t will be far easier year
hence to curb your evil passions than it is
now. An honest, strong effort to over
come will succeed, for temptations are
never greater than can be borne. If you
have resolved to stop the. use Of intoxi-
eating liquors, continue there year.
By that time the appetite for alcoholic
stimulants will be destroyed, and you can
protract your abstinence indefinitely. If
you have vowed any good thing-any-
thing that will contribute to your own
happiness or to the comfort
of your ssociates-continue there
a year You will find that you will be
living in heaven of sunshine, and will
never desire to recant
Let all who began the new year with
good resolutions keep them religiously.
They should not be content with stick

or SIX months, but continue there year.

New Years calls continue to. be as
popular as ever among society people,
though in some quarters they have come
to be bore, and expedients to regulate
the custom are being tried in various
cities with more or less success. In st.
Paul it has become the custom for q
number of ladies, who are intimate
friends and members of the same set, to
receive together This saves a great
deal of trouble, and is quite as agreeable
to the callers, as the acquaintance OF one
are generally the acquaintance OF all
the ladies. Then the ladies can divide
the labor of entertaining their friends,
while the gentlemen can spare more time
for social intercourse than if they were
obliged to call upon each person sepa-
rately. 1t is economy of time and labor
combined, and for this reason is to be
commended.
But there is one abuse that should be
corrected in this practice. 1t is the habit
of gentlemen calling upon ladies with
whom they have no acquaintance. Even
on such an occasion their presence is an
intrusion that should be regarded as I'M
pardonable unless they are accompanied
by an intimate friend of the family as q
guarantee of their character Some young
men, however, seem to take advantage of
the license of the day to obtrude them
selves in society in which they would not
be recognized at any other time. Well
thinking ladies feel this keenly, yet they
are forbidden by common politeness from
properly resenting it. A true gentleman
would not be guilty Of such 4 breach of
decorum, or in any way
seek to wound the susceptibilities of q
lady. 1t may become expedient for the
ladies to issue cards of invitation to those
whom they desire to meet, as is done in
some circles at the East, and to close their
doors against all others. AT all events
the practice of New Years calls will fal
into disrepute:
Notwithstanding the abuses of the Gus
tom, it is one that should be perpetuated.
There is something appropriate in the
meeting of friends on the first day of the
year to exchange congratulations over
the blessings of the past and wish for
their continuance for the year to come. 1t
brings them closer than ever before, pro-
notes sociability, and is in no sense de-
moralizing save when liquor is served to
guests. This practice, once so common,
is happily falling into disrepute, and ere
many years will have entirely disap-
peared.
