REGRETTED DESIGNATION.

Gen. Van Glove Sewers His Connection
With the Office Of Adjutant General
Regretted Acceptance Of the Same By
Gov. Hubbard.
Gen. H. P. Van Cleve, adjutant general
of the state, under date of May /, tenders
his resignation of the office, to take effect
June 1. In concluding the formal an
nouncement, Gen. Van Cleve says: 81
cannot do this without expressing to you
my proper appreciation of the uniform
courtesy and kind consideration that
have been extended to me by you during
your administration.
As the resignation of Gen. Van Cleve
was of his own seeking, not being
prompted by any hint that such resigna-
ton would be acceptable, but was made
necessary to enable him to engage in
other business, in which he desired to
engage, Gen. Hubbard had nothing to
do, but accept the same, which he did in
the following very handsome letter:

Gen. 81. P. Van Cleve, Adjutant General,
Minnesota:
s1R:-Your note of LIST inst, rendering your
resignation as adjutant general of the state,
to take effect June 1, is received.
had hoped to continue the very pleasant
official relations existing between us; hence I
accept your resignation with much regret.
Your great service to the state as one of it's
most distinguished soldiers during the war.
as well as your very efficient administration
of the office of adjutant general, will com
mand the lasting gratitude of the people of
Minnesota. Yours very truly,
[Signed] L. F. HUBBARD, Governor.

THE danger of admitting expert testi-
mony as conclusive and not as corrobora-
tive evidence in the courts of the coun-
try, is forcibly illustrated in the case of
one O'Brlen, who it seems, was some time
since in the service of Judge Daily, of New
York, as a coachman, and a short time
after his discharge, letters of an obscene
character were sent to the judges daugh-
ter. O'Brien was arrested on suspicion
of being the author of these letters, and
photographic experts were introduced
to prove that they were in the handwrit-
ing of O'Brien. Although the letters
were written in characters made in init
alton of print and in an evidently dis
guised hand, O'Brien was found guilty
and sentenced to pay fine of $3.50 and
be imprisoned in the Albany penitentlary
one year. The strangest part of the
whole transaction is that, while O'Brien
was in Jail awaiting transportation to AL
bany, Miss Daily continued to receive let
tiers in the same handwriting, and has
continued to receive them since O'Brien
was taken to the penitentiary. making it
almost certain that he has fallen victim
of photographic experts. Steps are being
taken to secure O'Brien's release, and
willno doubt prove successful.

Turf Editor of the Globe.
SLEEPY EYE, May1, 1Ss2.-Thc LIST of May
session of the Professional Mems association
of Sleepy Eye, Brown county, was held as
usual at Justice Gall gher's office, Monday
evening, May1.
The subject OF consideration, according to
usage, was dissertation from Rev. Mr.. Har-
rington, gu the inspiration of the scriptures.
The dissertatlonist maintained, zealously,
the absolute atiiation of each writer's mind by
the divine spirit in all matters of revelation,
bat not oral Inspiration. The dissertation
cussion OF the general subject, but no logical
argument in favor of special inspiration was
attempted.
A pretty full meeting of the association
entered zealously into the discussion of the
paper
The spirited colloquy which followed the
reading partook of the character Of new
nomenclature.
One part insisted that inspiration is not
subjectly but effectively true. The divine
communication inspiring the recipient-not
the recipient it-as in romance, poetry and
music.
Another class maintained direct inspira-
ton of the scriptures, but continued and
maintained with the faithful exemplars of the
truth, while another class maintained sharp
discrimination between literary and poetic
psychology and the inspiration of the divine
spirit. There is something more in divine in
splration than the high affiation of the human
mind by esthetic beauty and the ecstacies of
the Imagination, commencing the revelations
of the scriptures to the world.
Mr.. Linde, of the land Office, an honorary
member, will lecture before the ASSOCIATION
at the next fortnight session. A MEMBER.

The workmen at the well on Dayton
avenue came to the point when they
about concluded to quit. They have got
down so near the body that the stencil is
very great and it is impossible for them
to remain down there more than few
minutes at time, when they become
weak and sick, and have to be hauled up
to the surface. Unless they can be fur
nished with some disinfectant, sufficient
to neutralize the offensive odor, they will
probably have to give up the attempt and
leave the remains where they are.

The Harrison Meetings at the jackson

The third evening of The series, under the
charge of Rev. Thos. Harrison, the boy
preacher, was held last evening. In the after
noon, at o'clock, there was well attended
meeting, at which much interest was mani
tested.
The evening meetings commenced at 7:30,
with the usual song service, in the Sunday
school room, and at o'clock in the main
audience room above.
the church was pretty well filed, and by
o'clock seats were at premium, and by S:15
many were standing. This will probably be
the order of things from this time forward, as
it has been wherever Mr.. Harrison has held
meetings, and overflow meetings will doubt
less be necessary.
At the 7:30 meeting ten or twelve persons
arose for prayers.
The meeting opened in the main audience
room by singing els My Name Written

Upon the platform besides DR.. Marshall and
Mr.. Harrison, were Capt Klttwood of the

Cobb, P. E., of the Mankato district; Revs.
Kline and Morgan of st. Paul.
The hymn There's gentle voice within"
was then sung.
Mr.. Harrison then prayed as few men can
pray, and then the hymn, "Pass me not, oh
gentle SAVIOUR" was sung.
Mr.. Harrison has no set programme, SO
every move he makes is a surprise in one
sense.
Joshua i, g. ''Be strong and of good cour-
age" was then announced as q text from
which Mr.. Harrison spoke for some time,
after which an altar service was held, at which
about 20 sought the SAVIOUR, and several
bright conversions.

Mr.. WAsHBURN has ceased to deny
that he has sold the Minneapolis 81 st.
Louis road, and is now devoting his spare
moments to explaining to the people of
Minneapolis what great advantage it is
to them to lose their one eve (railroad)
lamb. He makes out so clear case that
we are almost led to wonder how he ever
came to build the road. If it is such
great advantage to have the road taken
away from Minneapolis, it seems reason
able to conclude that it would have been
something immense for that city if it had
never been constructed at all.
