esting paper was then read by Prof. H. p
Baker, of the Jefferson school, the subject

of tie public schools he improved" A
general discussion on the subject ensued
remarks being offered by S. S. Taylor, Mr.
Parr and Mr.. Kirk. Miss Whitney then
rendered q solo. the selection being heard
with much pleasure.
Prof. Slack then delivered an essay on
the interesting subject of the ear; how in
iured, and how cultivated. The essay

interesting.
Supt. Wright then spoke of his visit to

TIE HABEAs CORPUS.

The Witnesses Released by Judge Simon $
Nice Points of Law Decided,
Yesterday morning Judge Simons rem
dered his decision IN the habeas corpus
case of the witnesses committed for want
of bail in tho Sorenson matter, and dis
charged the witnesses.
The counsel reviewed the statutes under
consideration, and held that the decision
Of the supreme court in ths eighteenth
Minnesota, in the case of the state ex. rel.
Howard against Grace Shabu, the act of
1868, which was in aid of the general stat
utes On this subject, to be authority in
this case, and under that section he held
that in order to warrant the committing
magistrate in holding a witness after bail
with sureties and committing him in de-
fault of Tail, it must appear before said
magistrate and be jadicially determined
that there is danger that the witness will
not appear al court or testify upon the trial,
unless such bail shall be obtained, and
that in as much as no such testimony ap-
peared in this case or was offered against
the REALTORS, they were entitled to
their discharge and the court
accordingly discharged all of them.
This terminates the entire matter.
The decision is important as being a
sound construction of the statute which, if
it were literally interpreted and applied
might be productive of great hardships
to innocent prisoners, who might
happen to be cognizant of transac-
tons for which their testimony
would be required on the trial of crim-
inal cause, and would be unable to find
sureties in the large amount sometimes re-
quired for bail.

Small birds chase each other about il
play, but perhaps the conduct of the
crane and the trumpeter is most ex-
traordinary. The latter stands on one
leg, hops around in the most eccentric
manner, and throws somersauIts. The
Americans call it the mad bird, on &C.
count of these singularities. Water
birds, such as ducks and geese, dive
after each other, and clear the surface
Of the water with outstretched neck
and Tapping wings, throwing abundant
spray around. Deer often engage in
sham battle, or trial of strength, by
twisting their horns together and push
ing for the mastery. All animals pre-
tending violence in their play stop short
Of exercising it; the dog takes the great
est precaution not to injure by his bite;
and the ourang-outang, in wrestling
with his keeper, pretends to throw him,
and makes feints OF biting him Some
animals carry out In their play the
semblance of catching their prey.
Young cats, for instance, leap after
every small and moving object, even to
the leaves strewed by the autumn wind.
They crouch and steal forward ready
for the spring, the body quivering and
the tail vibrating with emotion; they
bound on the moving leaf, and again
spring forward to another. Benger saw
young cougars and jaguars playing with
round substances, like kittens. Birds of
the magpie kind are the anaIogues Of
monkeys, full of mischief, play and
mimicry. There is q story OF a tame
magpie that was seen busily employed
in garden gathering pebbles with
much solemnity and studied air, bury
ing them in q hole made to receive a
post. After dropping each stone it
cried "Cur-ack" triumphantly. and set
off for another. On examining the spot,
"a poor toad was found in the hole,
which the magpie was stoning for his
amusement.

Accid MT at the Capitol.

Quite serious accident occurred on the
new capitol grounds yesterday afternoon,
resulting in painful and perhaps serious
injuries to laborer named Michael Con-
roy. The accident occurred about 1 :3O
o'clock, at which time Conroy was engaged
in cleaning rhe rubbish from the ground
floor of the new engine house.
While so employed he missed his footing
and fell through an opening in the floor
to the basement, a distance of twelve or
fifteen feet. When picked up he was able
to converse, but he was suffering great
pain. having sustained cuts about the
head and neck, and it is feared that his
collar bone and several ribs are broken.
DIR. Boardman was called, and, after re-
lieving his suferings, he was taken to st.

One OF the greatest attractions of the
season and certainly one about which
there is great deal of curiosity mani
Tested, will be the engagement at the
Opera house this week OF tie Min Burleigh
combination, in q round Of tragedy.
The advent of the bright particular star,
Mr.. Min, in the theatrical sky, few
weeks since, created an immense furore in
Chicago, where, for number of years, he
had been the pastor of Unity church. The
transition from the cloth and the pulpit to
the sock and buskin of the stage had in it
something so novel. SO completely at vari-
ance with the common run of things that
the public for once in it's life or genera
ton. was taken By surprise, and the ortho-
dox classes have not yet recovered from
the shock.
The impersonations of Mr.. Min are
marked by scholarly and artistic bearing
and the departure ia spoken of as o
marked success. Mr.. Burleigh is we'll
known as an author and actor of first rate
ability.
The company will open at the Opera
house on Thursday night, playing three
nights and at the matinee. The repertoire
is Thursday, Hamlet; Friday, Othello; Sat-
urday evening, Macbeth, and Hamlet at
the matinee.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The amusement pabulum dished out to
the dramatic patrons of st. Paul last week,
was confined solely to the comedy branch
of the art, and taken altogether it has been
something of light season. The amuse-
ment week at the Opera house did not
commence until Wednesday night, when
the admirers of burnt cork were treated to
q pretty fair minstrel performance by the
Boston operate Minstrel company, the
high sounding flourish of the title not de-
tracing from the jokes which were ap-
parently enjoyed by good audience.
On Thursday evening the States At
torney combination began three nights,
engagement.
The not very exciting drama was en-
joyed on the occasion Of its respective pre-
sensations, up to last night, By fair-sized
audiences. On last evening the company
showed its capacity for sand by perform
ing to beggarly array of empty seats,
but the villainous condition of the streets,
rainy and muggy weather more than ac-
counted for the light house.
Estates Attorney" is not play calculat-
ed to draw down the lightning from the
theatrical armament, but with the silver
thread of comedy by which it is permeeted
so ably illustrated by NJ. John Dillon, and
the light sentimentality parts, it fulflls
the mission of pleasing the average audi.
ence. IS
OF it's events the GLOBE has hitherto
spoken at length.

Theodore Thomas.

The GLoBE is able TO make the pleasing
announcement that negotiations are on
foot between Theodore Thomas and some
of the solid citizens of st. Paul and Min
neapolis, with great promise Of success,
for the appearance of Mr.. Thomas in st.
Paul and Minneapolis in the early spring,
attended by his full orchestra of over fifty
solo musicians, and chorus OF 800 voices
to be furnished by the two cities, the whole
to be conducted b. the distinguished
leader at p grand festival to occur some
time in the month Of May, which will as
sume the proportions and magnihcence of
his grand festivals recently given il New
York, Cincinnati and Chicago. The only
contingency in the case is tbs question
whether tickets enough can be
sold to warrant the expense,
at price which will make it possible for
the great orchestra to make its appear
ance in this remote locality. The gentle
men having the matter in hand believe it
can be done, and they will make the test
at an early day. Meanwhile committe
of citizens of the two cities will visit The
odore Thomas in New York this week, and
learn just what has got to be done to afford
our citizens the privilege of hearing what
is now acknowledged to be en- orchestra
equal to the best IN the world, supported
by chorus in every way worthy of it.
Further particulars will be given as the
facts come to the surface.

a. the English and Russian EN-
bassadors performed their parts very cred
itably and deserve well for doing we'll their
allotted tasks, especially in that pearl of
harmony, the sextet or double trio. Mr..
Bielitz as the French ambassador was new
to the audience. He possesses strong
voice Of sound sstimbre" and penetrating
qualities. In the concerted numbers he
was very effective, while the rendition of
the soft and beautiful romanza showed
csudities, which faithful study viii readily
overcome in short time. The costuming
was fine and picturesque. The scenery,
properties and accessories fully up to
and exceeding the professional standard,
and last, though not least the orchestra
proved itself equal to this as any other oc-
casion. The seeming lack of full rapport
and feeling between the orchestra and
their director was hardly sufficient to cause
annoyance, and will be remedied on closer
acquaintance. It is good sign, that the
singers are sensible of their own shortcom-
ings and anxious to remedy all errors on
some future occasion. To resume then,
the opera as given, was far from faultless,
but taken as whole, and under the pre-
vailing circumstances was success. It
will certainly bear repetition, and may the
occasion soon arrive.
