IMPORTANT 10 THE CIGAR TRADE.

iATOhIANT IAE C1dA8 VRAOGs
We have recently had our attention called
TO new and important Improvement in the
manufacture OF cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutionize the cigar bust
ness, we have had one of our reporters, who
specially cOnversant with the tobacco and
cigar trade, to interview the inventors and
patentees. The invention was patented May
IA, 1878, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
IN the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally of the very best seed and Havana
tooaccos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
may be mentioned: A positive retention OF
me aroma of the flller-its loss by evaporation
oeng impossible. A better, quicker and en-
ufely round light; and they will not break
"hen carried in the pocket. These are advan-
ages which will be recognized by every
eihoker as being OF the greatest importance.
"a snort, it may be said that Messrs. j. 8 A.
Frey have made q very decided hit with their
new Idea. No one can properly realize the deli.
f'cy OF the flavor and aroma of q cigar made
In inns way until he makes personal trial,
ana This we advise our readers, whether in
NE trade or not, to do. Even in the appear
ause OF the cigar there is something novel and
attractive, the small, neat twist, which secures
shd iastens the whole, being a decided i'm
proVement. Though the new patent cigar has
seen Tor such short time before the public,
there are already indications that its manufac-
lure IN the skilltul and experienced hands Of

Messrs. j. & A. Frey's goods are noted tor
their excellence OF manufacture and superior
quality OF stock used. Having had an expe-
renee OF twenty years they can satisfy any
taste, trom the most fastidious to the most
ordinary. 1t is always well to know that
manufacturers are competent to judge properly
as to the quality of stock, and have thorough
insight into the details of their business, and
we can confidently recommend Messrs. Frey
to I'LL the bill in these respects.

HOUSE.

There were about eighty members OF
the House present at O'Clock last even
ing, when the roll was called. There
was little business other than that of a
routine character to transact, and only
one bill of general interest was introduced
that by Col. L. L. Baxter, relating to
the taxation of railroads. The bill has a
double purpose to serve-the simplitica-
ton of the manner of levying and collect
ing railroad taxes, and the payment of
the old railroad bonds by the railroads
themselves. In lieu of other taxes the
railroads arc required to pay a tax of five
per cent. of their gross earnings to the
State, three per cent: of which is to be
applied to ordinary State purposes, and
the remaining two per cent. to be applied
to the payment Of the principal and in
terest of the old railroad bonds, until
they are taken up, at the end of which
time the railroads shall pay but three per
cent. of their gross earnings in lieu of
other taxation The bill went to the ju-
dietary committee. A bill offered by Mr.
Hoyt limits the rate of interest which
savings banks shall pay to depositors to
four per cent

The Corinne Merrie-NIakers.

The Corinnc Merrie- Makers drew q
large audience to the Opera House last
evening. The story of Cinderella forms
the groundwork for rhythmic burlesque
of considerable merit and some crudities,
and for the preparation of a good many
weak and atrocious puns. The interest
centered in Little Corinne, who is truly a
musical and dramatic prodigy. But a
few'days more than seven years of age
she possesses a voice of extraordinary
power and compass, cultivated as thor
oughly as so young voice is capable of
cultivation. She acted her part with a
charming naivete and naturalness that
might put to the blush many professionals
of thrice her years. Her articulation was
clear and distinct, being heard in all parts
of the auditorium. Her recitation of
Somebody's Mother in response to a
recall was wonderful piece of elocution
for so young person. The specialtics
introduced were many of them neat and
well done, and the musical selections,
especially those from ''Boeaccio'' and the
"Chimes of Normandy were admirably
rendered. The chorus is excellently
trained, though some of the soloists were
somewhat deficient Some of the imper-
fections, however, were traceable to the
strange surroundings Of first night, and
the imperfections of the orchestral &C
compartment.
The performance will be repeated this
evening, and will no doubt attract large
audience

SECTIRIANISM IN THE NORM4L
SCHOOLS.

The charges of sectarianism brought
against the management of the st. Cloud
normal school, are apparently well found
ed. But whether the pending investi-
CATION shall prove the accusation or not,
there will remain in the public mind a
suspicion that where there has been so
much smoke, there must be some fire,
and general demand will go up all over
the State for such change as will set
at rest all apprehensions that the educa-
tional institutions maintained by the
State are being used to advance the inter
ests of any particular sect of religionists.
The appointment of clergymen of any
denomination to the management of any
school intended to be non-sectarian, is
grave mistake, and will inevitably re-
suit disastrously A theological train
ing units man for instructing the
young without religious bias. His train
ing has warped his mind to such an
extent that he confOunds the duties he
owes to his church with the duties re-
CURED of him by the State. Naturally he
considers religious training liberal
education, and neglects mental for spirit
ual instruction He finds greater delight
in making proselytes tor his church, than
in fitting his pupils for the stern realities
of life Besides this, his occupancy of q
chair is gross injustice to other sects,
who have right to send pupils to these
schools, and to have their religious beliefs
respected.
The church and the State should be
thoroughly distinct and separate. The
GLOBE does not object to enthusiasts OF
any denomination endeavoring to propa-
gate their faith, but insists that schools
that are supported by the contributions
of people of all creeds are not the proper
places for such effort. Clerics, whether
they be Presbyterians, Methodists, Bap-
lists or Catholics, have no right to voice
in their control. But so long as Sec
tarians are employed as teachers the
tendency will be towards sectarianism,
for it is as easy to force water to run up
hill as it is to curb the inclination of a
theologian to travel the beaten path in
which he has been trained, or to over
come the prejudices and dogmas that
have been instilled IN his mind from in
fancy up to manhood. The only safety
from the domination of the church in edu-
cational affairs is to exclude all clergy
men from our institutions of learning, or
to punish by instant dismissal the first at
tempt to foster any particular creed
among his pupils. Religious tyranny is
the worst species known in the history of
the world and it can only be avoided in
this country by keeping our schools free
from all faint of sectarianism.

THE JAPANESE.

Their Household Arts, Garden Ornaments,
Etc., as Described by Prof. Morse at
Unity Church Club Room Last Evening.
The second lecture at Unity church club
room by Prof. Edward S. Morse, of Salem,
Mass, his subject being "Household Art in
JAPAN" was enjoyed by an audience quite fill
ing the room. Even a mention of the many
interesting things he told of or described is
this morning impracticable, but few may
serve to show the scope of the lecture The
sizes of rooms in Japanese houses are counted
by the number of mats required to cover the
tlOOr-as twO-mat room or fOur-mat room.
The living rooms are separated only by nova
BILE screens, but the cooking room Is separated
from these by a wall of bamboo, plastered.
At one end of q principal room will be a re-
cess containing picture, and underneath it
bronze vase holding sprig of blossoms or
else q piece of coral. The picture will be
changed every few months and the rooms
will be moved about as inclination or occa-
sion requires. They use no paint or varnish,
but polish the natural wood nicely. Their
ceilings arc cedar planks. In their schools of
art the conventional style is taught, though
lately studies of nature are introduced, Their
colors are simple; ours, they think, are. too
bright. A round window, with vines around
and over it, through which the sunlight will
come in different colors, they greatly admire.
A hanging vase will be q tree knot, part COW
cred with silver wire, representing a spiders
web, with bronze spiders and ants on the bark,
and fungus growths initiated in pearl. Their
pavements pursue irregular lines; in every
thing they seek for contrasts or freaks of uni
formty. Where they have water they will
have ponds with tame gold fish. If they have
no water they will have an imitation pond,
with shining pebbles to initiate the water and
AMI island and bridge to complete
the semblance. One day you may see in
a Japanese garden an ugly-looking stump,
which afterwards you will find full of branches
bearing clusters of apple blossoms. They are
great collectors of cariosities, treasures, and
destructive. At one of their schools the
professor saw an irregular plat of imported
grasses, which was soon recognized as a
complete map of the country, showing every
town, river, lake, etc, and with wire stretched
across to show the degrees of latitude and
longitude. 1t is rule of the land, never
violated, that whoever cuts down one
tree, plants another. They are admirers of
nature. The Japanese vases we see are made
to order for this country, and are not such
works of art as they make for themselves. In
Boston the professor saw among Japanese
goods some square bottles, beautifully wound
with bamboo splints, which bottles were
priced at S4.OO each. In Japan these bottles
are used to hold beer and are sold for two cents
each. 1o1 1g

On motion of James Smith, Jr.,- Mr..

mittee, reported in favor of stringent

thought the bill now pending in Congress
needed some amendments, but in its gen.
eral features was satisfactory. The COM
mittee recommended that the chamber
endorse the proposed legislation without
committing the organization to specific
| details 9ce
Pending motion to adopt this report
it was voted to take up the report of the
| legislative committee and act upon that
in preference to any other business, and
Mr.. W. p Murray, for the committee,
presented several bills.
The bill authorizing the issue of bonds
| for bridges, etc., being under considera-
ton, Mr.. Driscoll questioned the need of
a bridge on Westminster street, and it
| was explained that it would be needed
| for communication with the East st.
Paul depot of the st. Paul e Omaha COM
pany Mr.. G. n. Bell protested against
a temporary bridge as contemplated for
Seventh street, on the ground that it
would delay the filling of the street
across the Phalen creek ravine. Capt.
Berkey and others explained that tenn
porary bridge was necessary, in place of the
present bridge, because the grading of the
| streets beyond the ravine, upon which the
| fill would depend, could not be made I'M
| til all interests are agreed as to what
grades should be established The bill
was then adopted without opposition.
The water works bill was next present
ed and its provisions inquired into by
members of the chamber, until it was
concluded to defer its further consider
alton until next Monday-the bill mean
time to be printed for the chamber and to
be introduced in the legislature, where it
will in usual course be referred to the
Ramsey county delegation.
The bill relating to sidewalk contracts,
board of public works, election of city
engineer, etc., having been read, Capt.
Blakeley spoke of the need of fixed monn-
ments and records of lines of blocks and
lots, urging that bill be prepared at
least providing for the marking of fixed
points, from which to make surveys and
measurements.
Mr. Lee referred to the workhouse bill,
and expressed hope that the Como Park
purchase, or part of it, would be taken
for the workhousc. Mr.. Murray answered
it was the understanding that the work
house would be located there. Mr.. Lee
