Carleton College.

Rev. James W. Strong, D. d., president
of Carleton college, preached in Plym-
outh church last Sabbath morning, pre-
senting and advocating the cause of
Carleton college, Of which first the GLOBE
of Monday last gave an account. D.
Strong spent portion of last week IL
calling upon the citizens of ST. Paul, pre-
senting the needs of the college and sole
iting donations in aid of its good work.
Carleton college, situated at Mortified,
is among the most useful and valuable
institutions in the northwest as an educa-
tional factor, to aid our youth in mental
culture. The aim of the college is to
give the highest, best and most thorough
intellectual culture to students of both
sexes, and at the same time to cultivate
good morals and true religion, but sedu-
lously avoiding sectarianism. Thus it
appeals to every class in community
having children to educate.
The most pressing need of the college
at this time is ladies' hall. Though
nearly half of the students are young
ladies: there are no adequate accommo-
dations for that class of pupils
This institution, therefore, appeals
with great force to all the people for aid,
and every Christian community should
now cheerfully put forth helping hand
to aid the able, faithful and self-sacri-
ficing faculty and management of the

Webster and Burr.

Mr. Webster used to tell with great
zest an incident in his professional life, to
illustrate how past studies may prove of
great service in an emergency. While
practicing in New Hampshire, black
smith employed him to defend a con-
tested will. The ease was such COM
plicated one that he was obliged to order
books from Boston, at an expense of $50,
in order to acquaint himself with and to
settle the legal principles involved He
won the case, and, as the amount was
small, charged SIS for services, and was,
therefore, largely out of pocket Many
years after, when passing through New
York, he was consulted by Aaron Burr
81 have perplexlng casc,'' said Mir.
Burr, (which | cannot disentangle. [
know | am right, but see no way of proving
it in court"
Mr.. Webster listened and found
that the principles were Identical with his
early case
He stated them in such luminous way
that Mr.. Burr excitedly said:
'sHave you been consulted before, Mr..
Webstere''
ssNo, sir, 1 never neard of the case till
you mentioned It,"
'sHow is it possible that you could
unravel such case at sight when had
given many hours of anxious study to it
in vain?
1Ir Webster enjoyed his perplexIty,
DaL lnaiiy relieved him by a statement of
tne facts. A great sum was at stake, and
Mr. Webster received fee of $1,000 to
balance his former loss.
The moral of this incident is that what
ever is worth doing is worth doing well.
Nr. Webster, when young lawyer,
acted on this axiom, and this laid the
foundation of his greatness as LAWYER.

In the pocket of drunkard who died
few days ago in the city prison at San

ment, purpertlng to be in brief the auto
biography of a man who began actual
life with more thon the usual share of
ambition and glory. In the worn and

lowing description of the famous
charge at Balaklava, the writer, at

Six Hundred: "The bugles rang out
their shrill calls to charge; and we went
right at the center Of our foes. The shock
was fearful one. AS we struck against
the enemy, Muscovite cavalryman, with
a look as black as hate on his face, and
his eyes blazing, aimed his lance at my

weapon down, and then dispatched him.
But it must have been from him I re-
ceive1 wound, for at night I found my
left boot full of blood, and a lance
wound right under the knee cap.
In striking down his lance the
point OF it entered my leg, but in the ex-
citement of the moment it passed unno-
ticed. 1 never could tell how we ever
got through the Russian lines, but we
did When we appeared On the other

another line of the enemy, but our
spirits were up, and we passed through
them like a sheet of lightning. 1t
was terrific work. and our troops suf-
fered heavily. That wound under the
knee pan was all received during the
bloody work of the Crimean campaign.

GRANTS "OLD GUARD
The Medal Commemorative Of the Sturdy
3O6 at Chicago Ready to BE Issued.

Inc me08l commemorative OF tho StUruy
800 at Chicago Ready to Be Issued.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 28-The Post Dispatch
publishes the following this evening: About
two months after the Chicago convention the
idea of having medal struck to commemor-
ate the steady voting OF the Grant Phalanx
originated with Don Cameron. A consuIta-
tion was held between Roscoe Conkling, Chau-
cey J. Filley and others, and finally an order
was given to j. o. Kershaw, this city, to strike
$50 bronze medals. The matter was to be
kept profound secret and Kershaw was en-
joined to silence; He has been working on
the medals for several months and they are
now completed, and in few days will be sent
to Chauncey j. Filley, at Washington, who
will superintendent the distribution. The
medals are of bronze, perfectly round, two and
three -fOurths inches in diameter, three-six-
teenths of an inch thick and weight nearly one
pound. On the center of the facs Is profile
head of Gen. Grant. Underneath and extend
ing partially around the head is a wreath of
laurel and oak leaves. Around this is
slightly raised circle, outside of which is
record of the Grant ballots, arranged in
a complete circle, the numbers of each ballot
and vote cast beng set down in a separate
space. The record begins at the exact center
of the bottom when the medal is held in a
proper position, and comprises thirty six bal
lots, which wavered from 3O2 to 313. between
the first and thirty-sixth ballots, which meet
at the bottom of the ring. A star is engraved
after the seventeenth, which reaches point
diametrlcally opposite the star numbers, SO
that the figures can all be read without turn
ing the medal around. The outside record
and along the wreath of deur de Lis it is hand
somely worked, completing the fact. In the
center of the reverse side are these words
Commemorative of the thirty-six ballots of
the Guard for Ulysses s. Grant for
President; Republican National Convention,
Chicago, June, 1880. All the lines are
straight, save the first and last. The name of
the member of the old guard to whom the
medal is to be sent is inscribed surrounding.
The lettering is very simple, yet handso ne.
In the border completing the reverse side at
the center of the top is hole in which to place
a ribbon. The medal is altogether very
handsome bit of engraving. Grants profile
shows part of the coat collar and necktie. Of
the $50 medals, one will be sent to each of the
113 delegates who voted for Grant, and the
balance to General Grant and few stalWart
friends. The head of the medal has been
'graved on letter paper and will be sent along
with those souvenirs. The first design of the
medal in brass was forwarded to New York,
and submitted to General Grant, his wife,
Conkling, and few other ladies and gentle
men, for appreciation.

house and buy fast horse out of his $50
month. The answer was one of The

"You see," said this noble man, sssorae-
times we get way passenger who pays a
quarter or half dollar for his fare. Well,
we flip the money up-heads for the con-
ductor, tails for company"
"But," persisted this investigator after
truth, sssometimesi it must turn up tails.
What do you do then?"
"Oh," replied the conductor, with in
effable contempt, ''then we fit it up
again"
So that passenger went home and sold
out his railroad shares.
