PAUL BOYTON.
His Last Trip and the Coming Growing
Effort of His Life.

His Last Trip and the Coming Growing
Effort of His Life.
The GLOBE yesterday mentioned the arrival
in this city of Capt; Paul Boyton, the world
wide known swimmer, who is as much at
home on and under the waters as he is on
terra frma. 1t is well known that the daring
swimmer left st. Paul some two months ago
for swim from the head of navigation on
the Mississippi river to the Gulf. He has re-
turned for the purpose of crossing over to the
Missouri river and proposes to float or swim
from the head waters of that great river to its
junction with the Mississippi. The captain
will remain in st. Paul until about the 18th
inst, when he will leave for his adventurous
voyage down.the big muddy,a distance Of 8, 500.
This is the greatest feat he has yet accom-
plished, and although he has navigated the
principal streams OF the habitable and some
portions of the uninhabitable globe, this will
probably tax his powers of endurance more
than any trip he has made. The journey will
occupy about two months OF time and for
greater portion of the trip he will be
entirely beyond civilized company. Solitary
and alone he will float down the turbid waters
of the Missouri, and amid tempest and storm,
without compan1onship will have to face dan
gers of all kinds. His little tender 80 by 10
inches will carry his supplies. When the adj
venturous captain finishes this trip he will
have padded 10000 miles in his little rubber
suit. A complete narrative of his experince and
of all he has seen in this novel mode of travel
will appear hereafter in volume which will
probably be one of the most interesting books
ever written. Capt. Boyton has been ten years
in collecting the material for his book, and it
will give graphic picture of the water ways
of every part of the globe.

4CHANGE.

The life of the President is still hap
PLY prolonged. A week ago his death
seemed inevitable, and, so rapid are
Americans, the preparations for his
funeral were almost in progress. The
telegraph announced that the New York
postoffice would be closed when the body
passed through the city, and the gov
ernor of a State telegraphed suggestion
for day of mourning.
Instead of the removal of his dead body.
it is now being planned to take the
wounded President to Long Branch,
hoping to secure improvement by the
change. If he can be successfully trans
ported the chances of improvement and
recovery will be greatly increased
The dethronlng of DIR. Bliss has
given an opportunity for recovery which
nev er before existed. A surgeon who
did not know for three or four weeks
that the assassin's bullet had splintered
one of the ribs of the President, and
even then learned the fact from a con-
sulting surgeon, should never have had
charge of the case. We
greatly fear that this medical
change has come too late-that there is
not sufficient rallying power to be Of
avail. The age of miracles will not have
passed if the President RECEIVERS. His
brave fight for life deserves the reward Of
success, and prayers will 60 up from mil
ions at their devotions to- day, beseechins
the Higher Power to restore the stricken
man to health and life.

ADJUSTMENTS.
JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

Mr.. John Mccullough is certain to play a
magnificent engagement at the Opera house
during the great fair week. He has selected
this city for the opening of his season, and
this will be his first engagement since his re-
turn from Europe. Mr.. Mccullough is a
thoroughly manly and earnest actor, whose
influence upon the public is magnetic, and
who displays vigor of heart as well as physical
virility in all his work. Although cast in the
robust and heroic mould, he is singularly deli
cate and refined in all his methods. His re-
ception throughout the country last season
ovation. His triumph at Drury Lane was
swift and emphatic, and he returns to his own
county established in the foremost rank OF
| living tragic actors.
During the week Mr.. Mccullough will per-
senate Virginius, Othello, Damon, Richard
| III, Spartacus, and Claude Melnotte, and his
support will be contributed by an organiza-
| ton which is conceded to be the strOngestsever
organized for travelling tour, including Ed
pearauce in America, John A. Lane, Il. A.
Langdon, Miss Kate Forsyth, Mrs. Augusta
Foster, and other local favorites. The follow
| ing tribute by Col. Heating of the Memphis
| Appeal is indicative of the esteem in which
| Mr.. Mccullough is held throughout the
length and breadth of the land
"But, besides their admiration for the art OF
Mccullough, of which they were assured, and
which they prize at its worth, there was man
ifested a feeling of personal price in the man
who has passed unscathed through the fires
of adulation, fed by the praises of the high
est and most distinguished men and women in
the republic. There was the great artist whose
life-like personation of antique Roman char
acters especially has won for him a place in
the front rank among the greatest actors or
the English and American stages, but greater
still was the man whose heart warmed toward
us IN misfortune, whose simple and ingen
uous manhood is still as the pure gold, un
tainted by dross or alloy-the self-made artist
the American who stands for, a type of the
man whom energy, reinforced by determine
tion, and sustained by clear, superb faculties
and fine common sense has elevated to 6
prominence most conspicuous, and whence he
can command not only admiration for his art,
but an almost affection for. the qualities which
men and women most admire in the manly

duce the stunning of vice of every de-
scription. Tipping should be abolished
from the social gatherings and tipplers
excluded from good society. A known
libertine should be avoided as plague.
One who games should be debarred from
all association with decent people.
There is no time for tears, especially
for those of the stereotyped sort that are
manufactured to order. 1t is the time
for action. If the church members and
those who occupy places in good society
will but work together, much of the i'm

Las evening the st. Paul Light Guards and
the Allen. Guards paid their promised visit
to his excellency Gov. Pillsbury, at his home
in Minneapolis. The two companies assem-

Minneapolis, where they were met by the Min
neapolis Light Infantry. The line being
formed, the battalion marched through some
of the principal streets Of Minneapolis, and
arrived at the governors residence, on the
East Side, shortly after o'clock. The spaci-
Gus grounds surrounding the governors
mansion, were beautifully illuminated, pre-
senting a fairy scene. The three companies
formed in a semi-circle in front
of the governors residence, when Capt.
Bend, of the st. Paul Light guards, present
ed the companies to the governor, who ap-
pesred upon his veranda, in a neat and appro-
pirate speech, pledging their services to his

arise that would require the aid of the mill
tary arm of the government.
Governor Pillsbury in response thanked the
companies for the call, complimented them
upon their soldiery appearance and trusted that
the day was far distant when their ser
vices would be required, but should such be
the case, he was satisfied the State could rely
upon the good and true men before him.
Adjutant General Van Cleve and Col. Hicks
also made brief complimentary remarks, after
which the three companies stacked arms and
refreshments were served to the assembled
multitude, when the line of march was again
taken up to the depot, the st. Paul companies
being escorted by the Minneapolis Light in
fantry. The special train arrived at st. Paul
about midnight, all of the participants de-
| lighted with their trip and their reception by
| the governor.
The st. Paul boys were highly complimented
by the thousands who lined the sidewalks in
Minneapolis for their fine appearance, their
splendid marching and soldierly bearing. A
large number Of ladies graced the occasion,
and hundreds of carriages followed the line of
march. Take it altogether, for comparative
ly an impromptu affair, it was about as neat
pageantry in the military way as the two cit
les have seen for several years past.

Freight Train Wrecked Yesterday

A through freight train of the Chicago, St.
Paul & Omaha line, was coming into St. Paul
from the eastern division yesterday noon,
when it ran off the track at an open switch
at the tank station near Oakdale, about six
east of the city. There is an embankment of
eight or ten feet across the marsh near the
tank and the engine and tender turned CON-
pletely over, while eleven freight cars were
upset. Most of the cars we're badly damaged
and the contents of three or four cars were
much injured. The engineer and fireman
saved themselves by jumping and none of the
train men were injured. Passenger trains
were delayed more or. less until evening by
wrecking operations, but at night it was un-
derstood no more delays would occur.

BEWAILING SINS PREVALENCE.

And let them make haste, and take up q

ters.-JEREMIAH Ix:18.
The hypocrisy suggested in the text is
suggestive of many phases of life in these
modern days. Outward manifestations
are apparently regarded as the truest
signs of inward grief Tears are not al
ways indications of poignant sorrow, nor
is it certain that those who make the
loudest lamentations are always the most
keenly alive to the sins of the world.
There is too much moaning and too
many tears over the transgressions of hui
mainly, and too little effort to work re-
forms in our social system. If Christian
people would not spend so much time in
bemoaning the degeneracy of the times,
but devote their energies to reforming
the abuses they. find existing, the world
would be much better than it is to-day.
The necessity for work was never
greater than 1t is at the present time
There are great evils that ought to be
combatted with all the enginery of the
church and of society. There are intem-
perance, gaming and RIGHTEOUSNESS that
are sapping the foundations of society
and running the physical, mental and
moral natures Of the young, 1t is the
duty of every Christian and every good
citizen to do everything possible to stem
the tide of immortality of every sort.
Tears are idle. Wailings are worse than
than useless. What is needed is work
energetic, systematic and persistent work.
1t will avail nothing to regret and be-
moan the degeneracy of the times. Such
talk is cheap. 1t can be heard every
where. At any rate it is not all
that is required of those who
have the good of humanity at heart The
churches should take the initiative in
the work of reform, and enlist all good
citizens with them. An assault should
be made upon the haunts of vice of every
sort. Every possible agency should be
brought to bear upon the public to in

MY WIFE is MUCH SMARTER THAN
ME.

Written for the Sunday Globe by j. F. Nc
e Gulre.1
My wife is queer little woman,
AS odd as you ever did see,
And of one thing I'm morally certain,
She's a mighty sight smarter than me.
If anything happens to turn up,
With me she will never agree,
And Pm sure to get beat in the wind up,
Because she's too cunning for me.
If chance to be out of an evening
With friend, rather late, do you see,
Pm sure to find out in the morning
That my wife is much smarter than me.
l think there was never a subject
On which we did ever agree.
Was it horses, men, girls or religion,
She always saw farther than me.
Her form it is graceful and slender,
And think she is neat as can be;
In my heart I just wish was smarter,
For 'twould make it much better, you see.
In an argument she can confound me,
Because Pm so dull can't see,
And know she is right, when she says SO,
Because she's much smarter than me.
Great minds are God-given blessing,
And once in while you will see
A man that is loaded with knowledge,
But he's no such fellow as me.
I feel kind of fiat in the top of my head
When my wife says cts queer you can't
see;"
Sometimes get mad and feel very sad
Because she's smarter than me.
But there's no use of grumbling or growing,
must stand it the best that can;
might as well take the thing easy,
Suppose I amt much of man.
There's one thing ought to be proud of,
And always was puzzled to see,
How a woman much smarter than was
Got caught by fellow like me.

of private banking associations or those banks
which do not belong to the clearing house
