PATRLX'S MIRACLE.
From The British Quarterly.

Just as il is rare to find Frenchman of letters on
the side of the church. il is seldom indeed that
one of them fails ut the LAST moment to send for the
priest, and to die penitent. The case OF Patrx Is,
however, unusual because has conversion was
brought about by a miracle We relate it for the
soace and streng hening of spiri uaists One day
he was sitting alone in his study when a heavy
wooden chair lifted itself from the hoor, without
any apparent motive cause, and advanced slowly
toward him, all four LEGS off the ground. Had 1T

would have been on the floor.

polite or more definite, Up to certain point only,
poiteness would be extended to he Devil. Whether
the mover OF the furniture was dissatisfied WITH tine

ADJUSTMENTS. A
John M'CuLLOuGH.

The great tragedian called out a big au-
dience last night to see him in Sheridan
Knowles five-act tragedy, ''Virginius' -
Mr.. Mccullough was greeted with cheers
the moment he made his appearance, but
he did not at the outset seem quite him
self. The daring journey over Bear Tooth
range which he recently made
in company with Gen. Sheridan, seemed to
have left some traces in his carriage which
gradually wore away during the evening.
The Rocky mountain air had certainly
not weakened his strong and eloquent
voice. There isn't much that is new to be
said of ''Virginius,'' or of Mr.. McOullough's
acting in the title role. The
ment of the Roman father
haps, by John Mccullough than any other
actor. 1t would certainly be very difficult
to suggest an improvement in manner of
rendering ''Virginius" last night. Mr.
Mccullough comes very near our early con-
ception Of1r&eema1. and whether our early
conception could have been bettered must
remain an open question. 1t seems
to be generally conceded that as regards
Mr. McCuuougnS N1fgln1us, ana Gladl-
ator," the public are not in need of the
services of critic. The public certainly
would not crowd into theater to see any
other man in those plays. The tragedian
has been highly commended for having
good company to support him.
They appreciate the fact that he
has not the conceit of
some stars who force inferior and very dis
agreeable companies upon their patrons.
Mr.. Edmund Golfers Appius Claudius was
wholly acceptable, as was also Mr.. Henry
Chanfraus Marcus. Edward Wilson's sol
dier played no insignificant part. Miss
Kate Forsyth made very fair Virginia.
The ladies all did well. Tonight Mr..
Mccullough will appear in ''Othello"

Besides it costs the farmer no more to
raise a grade or full blood animal that it
does scrub, and, in fact,
many breeders of large experience
claim that it does not cost as much, and
then every farmer ought to take pride in
having just the best stock that money can
buy, for there is always a market
for the best, while the inferior
frequently goes a begging. No one who
visits the fair should fail to see this su
perb stock of Mr. DeGraf,s, not alone be-
cause it was bred in Minnesota and proves
that the state cannot be surpassed in this
direction, but because it is, or should be, a
real pleasure to see the best, and we feel
that we can safely say, after many years.
experience with cattle, many of which
were bred expressly for the show ring, that
the Lake Elysian herd of Mr.. DeGraff can
not be equaled anywhere, either for beef,
milk. butter or cheese. What has been ac-
complished by him in the production of
such magnificent stock can be accom-
plished by other farmers and breeders in
southern Minnesota, and they should lose
no time in following the example set by so
practical a man. Visitors to his stalls will
always find courteous. gentlemanly attend
ants, who will cheerfully and pleasantly
answer all questions in regard to this
famour herd, which is. justly the pride of
the state.
We learned from Mr.. Anderson, Mr.. De
CRAFTS gentlemanly herdsman, that he
also breeds Jersey cattle, Cotswold
and Southdown sheep, Berkshire and
Poland China hogs. He also has
a herd of twenty-seven very fine elk on his
farm. He visits all the fairs, attends the
stock sales and always buys the best that
can be procured, and so establishes a re-
putation second to none as breeder of
superb stock. While young in years he
has shown himself to be superior in breed
ing to a high standard, equal to that OBJ
tanned by the Andersons of Kentucky or
Potts of Illinnis, and Notwithstanding his
immense railroad and other business, he
finds time to give personal attention to
his stock, and in this matter has succeeded
beyond his most sanguine expectations.

ST. JOseph's HOspitaI.

The two mild cases of smallpox at this
well-known institution have yielded to
treatment, and both the sisters have SO far
recovered that one of them is ON duty and
the other will be to-day or tomorrow. A
foolish story was set afoat yesterday that
one of the sisters had died. that the other
was at the point of death, and that the
hospital would be closed for
several weeks in order to prevent the fur
ther spread of the disease. This is simply
one of those foolish stories that are al
ways set afoat whenever any unusual dis
ease makes its appearance. The attack of
smallpox on the sisters was very mild in
deed and readily yielded to treatment, so
that the first one attacked has entirely re-
covered and resumed the performance of
her duties. The other sister is much bet
ter, is improving and will withhut doubt
soon be out. All talk about closing the
hospital is foolish, out of place and wholly
unwarranted There is not now, nor has
there at any time, been the least idea OF
closing the hospital. It is running now
just as usual and will so continue to run
right along without any internission.

was waived. In the first heat an excellent
start was made at the first effort. Mann
brino Eclipse pulled to the front at the
turn, but was passed at the eighth by Ham
adam, with Fly Dance at his heels.
Down the half Fly Dance was given his
head and rapidly passed to the front, and
soon opened lead OF four lengths, which
he held to the finish, though running the
last quarter under a pull. Mambrino
Eclipse was Thoroughly pumped at the
half and finished considerably more than
distance out Time, :4734. In the sec
ond heat all got off together on the first
effort but Mambrino Eclipse began to fall
back on the first turn. Fly Dance and Ham
adam ran a head and head race for about
third of mile, when Fly Dance began to
pull away, opening out lead of
four lengths at the head of
the home stretch. At the distance, Mr..
Legg, owner of Fly Dance, told his jockey
to give her her head and she jumped away
as if shot out of a gun, showing that her
great speed had not been called for.
Time, 2:46M.
At the conclusion M. T. Grattan. the
starting Judge, announced that a match
would be trotted some afternoon of the
fair between Hon. Dexter Curtiss' mare,

race) and his mare Little Queen,all owners to
drive. Mr.. Curtss is a wealthy citizen
of Madison, an alderman and the owner and
breeder of fine stock. Mr.. Grattan is also
an intelligent breeder and horse expert.
The horses that will compete are very
evenly matched and the race will attract
great interest.
The races tomorrow will include the
2:32 trotting, pacing, running dash, three
quarters of mile, and Sleepy TOMS trial
against 2:1215.
E. S. Conway, general agent and secre-
tary of the Kimball organ company, ar

the other distinguished guests will be

A few years ago it was boldly asserted
that fine cattle could not be successfuIlv
raised in q latitude SO far north as Mime
sofa, and that for choice cattle the warmer
sections must be depended upon. Not 2
few people in New York state. Kentucky.
Missouri and portion of southern Hi
nois, looked upon Minnesota as being so
far north that the winters lasted more than
half the year, while the springs and falls
were SO short that there was TO summer
left to mature crops, consequently the cat
tie of the state would of necessitv. be
stunted in their growth; could not posi-

thought and attention believed that they
were true, but happily, man sometimes in

inclined to accept as true the theories ad-
vanced by biased minds, and when he does
investigate, he realizes that very often
men, through prejudice, make assertions

relation to the climate of the state being
