and as she sat occupying double room in the
car she looked the perfect picture of self
sufiicieney, and selfishness and cheek. A
bluff looking gentleman. evidently from the

Jimmy's s'langusge.

Prof Dean had kindly consented to take
his nephew Jimmy, 10 year old boy, for
course of tuition. Schooling, ordinary peo-
pie might call 1t, but the professor was very
chaste and correct in his use Of language.
His brother had written and asked him to
take unusual pains to teach Jimmy to speak
elegant English, and intimated that tn. BOYS
worse fault was reckless disregard of pro-
per language.
When his nephew came the professor was
rather pleased with him than otherwise He
found him a bright appreciative little fellow.
who answered his questions demurely enough
and seemed as steady and sedate as one
could wish But Jimmy was on his good
behavior and did not yet feel at home he
was looking into his surroundings, and the
third morning after his arrival he burst into
MS uncle's study in state Of bresthless ex-
cItsment.

The professor looked up from his book in
amazed horror, and as soon as he could

10 you, Nunkey. Oh, say. now, don't

voice;

Vacation Of Part Of Block Il, Dayton
and IrVine'S Addition.
CITY CLERKS OFFICE, }
ST. PAUL, Mimi, October 10, 1882. !

WHEREAS, petition has been filed in this
Office, provided by law, by order of the Com
mon Council of the City of st. Paul, asking for
the entrance to Maiden Lane, in block II, of
Dayton & Irvines addition to st. Panl, and
described as follows: Commencing at point
ON the northerly line of Lot 26, in Block II, of
Dayton & Irvine's addition to st. Paul, twenty
four feet westerly from the northeasterly corner
of said lot; thence running southwesterly along
the southerly line of Maiden Lane 1917 feet to
the northeasterly of Lot rs, in said block;
thence running northerly at right angles to Selby
avenue, to the southerly line of said avenues
thence running easterly to the place
of beginning. The petitioners state that
they are the owners of ma
jority OF all the property owned On the line Of
said Maiden Lane, and ON the line of property
asked to be vacated, and the facts and reasons
for such vacation are as follows: That said
Maiden Lane, as now laid out, intersects Selby
avenue at an Obtuse angle, making it, if SO used,
inconvenient of access and difficult to drive
through the entrance, that the portion of land
forming the entrance to said lane has never been
used as a driveway, but entrance to Selby ave-
nue. has been made through piece of ground
lying Immediately west of the entrance to said
lane, which land the owner thereof proposes to
deed to the city ''as public highway and as an
entrance of said Maiden Lane to Selby avenues
should the vacation asked for be made.
Now, therefore, notice is herby given, that
said petition will be heard and considered by the
Common Council of the City of st. Paul, on
Tuesday, the 2lst Gay of November. A. D, 1882,
at 7 so o'clock p. M, at the Council Chamber,
in the City Hall.
By order of Common Council.

4 Bear Fighters RereHge.

A tent was pitched near Hot Springs,
Ark, and the announcement of show
brought crowd. When all the money OBJ
tainable for admission had been received,
a staiwart negro wrestled with a monster
bear. The combat was fierce, and passed
from play t, work as the beast warmed up.
The spectators screamed with excitement,
and it seemed to be question of life or
death with the negro. Bleeding and ex-
hausted, he finally got the bear off the
stage, amid overwhelming applause. The
assembly insisted upon an encore. When
the tumult he'd reached its height, the ne
gro appeared, carrying bag. After ac-
knowledging the kindness of the
spectators, he stopped down, and drawing
knife from his pocket. commenced to
tumble with the bag. The people, sup
posing this to be some new trick, pre-
served breathless silence. Then he cut
the bag open, and thers issued from it a
swarm of bees. AS the insects buzzed
forth, there was movement of the crowd,
then panic, and finally wild rush for
the exit. Some got out by cutting Sits in
the canvas of the tent with their knives.

HERBERT SPENCER.
Intellectual. Social and Political PhiI0s0-
DIer.


Mr.. Herbert Spencer, the most notable
of visitors, is an Englishman, born at
Derby, the son and grandson of school
master. But for his fathers special and
intelligent care of his only surviving child,
Herbert Spencer would have died in his
childhood. He was brought up, as far as
possible, in the open air and accustomed
to gradual exercise, and the tolls of school
life were avoided by his careful and judi
cious instruction at home. The boy was
taught to know external things and their
properties and laws, before books were
placed in his hands, and became young
philosopher under conditions as far remote
as possible from the wearisome labor of
the school room. When his condition of
health admitted of the change. Herbert
was sent from home to five with his uncle,
the Rev. Thomas Spencer, clergyman of
the church of England, under whose in
structions he profted greatly. At seven
teen years of age he became civil engi-
neer, but abandoned it after eight years,
and after having contributed several pa
pers to the literature of his profession.
When twenty-five years old, in 1912, he
published series OF letters on the proper
sphere of government, and when, in 1845,
he gave up civil engineering, adopted lit
erary work as profession. From 1S4S to
1852, he was on the staff of the Economist,
a London paper, in which Social Statics,"
perhaps his most popular work, was pub
lished in the serial form. His contribu-
tions to the Westminster and other quar-
terly reviews have been frequent. With
out giving complete list of his books, it
may be stated that the object of his life
since 1860 has been the production of
work embracing five divisions, to constitute
complete philosophical scheme of life,
of mind and of society. What he has done
already toward this object is a marvel of
intellectual power. Evolution is aptly de-
scribed as ''the central and governing idea
Of all philosophical labors."
Mr.. Spencer, as we have said, is an only
child. His parents are dead and he is a
bachelor, so that in the sense of family
connections, he is alone in the world.
When in full work, he dictates to an aman-
uensis three hours day. Music, billiards,
and the country are his favorite recreations.
He is not a society man. and is a grave
and profound not a. brilliant talker. To
their honor be it said, that Messrs. D. APP
pleton & Company, who publish his works
i'll the United States, pay him the regular
authors royalty of 10 per cent. on the re-
tail price of every one of his books sold
by them.
