promise that it will he brilliant in those
attractions, which draw people to this
established winter place.
The season opened to-day with the

supported his wasted remains, is now
placed IL plaster bust of the late Presi-

WINDOW AS A PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE.

a Washington special to the Min
nesota Tribune dated Nov. 2lst. says
that just at present the name of Sena.
tor William Window is mentioned
with more confidence by the shrewd
ones than that of any other person in
connection with the Republican
nomination for President in 1854. A
knot of gentlemen were discussing
the subject recently, one of whom is
u western senator, and the latter said:
"Windom is Il growing man and in
my estimation the most available
presidential candidate in the Repub-
lican ranks. The party Is at present
badly torn by internal discussions,
and the only hope of success in 1884
is candidate who can unite all fac.
tons. This l believe Window can
do. The Blaine men would rally
around him in solid mass, and I be-
lieve he would be accepted by the
stalwarts as a compromise. His re-
cord as senator and financier is every
thing that could he asked. and his re.
putation us citizen is irreproach.
able. OF course, much depends upon
his endorsement by reelection to the
Senate this winter. buJ fortunately
there appears to be no trouble OH that
score. Window would be a particu.
larry strong candidate for the reason
that he would he invulnerable against
Democratic attacks" The remarks
of the Senator quoted seemed to I'M
press his hearers, and it was general
ly admitted that no one could more
certainly lead the party to victory in
1881 than Senator Window.

Mule Evidently Stolen, but Who il

Yesterday a man from Byhalia, Miss.,
came to Esquire Quigley and said he wanted
to bring suit against somebody; he did not
exactly know who, but he wosld state his
case and let the magistrate decide. He had
bought a mule a short time ago from q negro
living at Central Point, and had paid him
for it. Shortly afterward the real owners Of
the animal had replevied and got the mule
into their possession, they proving 1T was
theirs. They said it had been stolen or had
strayed off.
"Well, you want to sue the negro who sold
you the mule, don't you% said Esquire
Quigley.
"Wait minute. l come TO town to see
the negro, and he proved that he had bought
it for $40 from a man named Kirk, who
lives at Center Point"
"You must sue Kirk, then" said the
Esquire.
"But Kirk proved that he had bought it
from a negro named Henry Williams, who
lives on the Pigeon-Roost road"
Then Williams is your man."
"But Williams bought it from Mrs.
Kelly, very respectable lady who lives out
in the country"
"Well," said the bewidered Esquire.
'Alrs. Kelly bought it from white man
named Stratton."
