THE coffee houses in large cities are not
places where coffee is commonly sold. That
is, because coffee could not afford to pay the
high license. The keeper is compelled to re-
sort to brandies, RUNS WHISTLES, gins, cham
pagnes, clarets and Burgundes. The resort
is popular, nevertheless.

The Jannotta Concert company had a
regular ovation last night at White Bear.
Nearly all the selections were encored.
Miss Eta Hawkins captivated the audi
ence, and gave charming little encore
piece. All seemed in splendid voice, and
sang charmingly. Miss Geist's cello play
ing captivated all, and the second time she
played they insisted upon an encore till il
became necessary for Mr.. JaHhotta to say
ty the audience that they could not repeat
so much, as they must get back to st.
Paul. 1t was great night for the Jan
notta company.
An instance of the hardships caused be the
mayors recent order revoking the licenses
of street fruit venders came to light yes
terday. It was that of an Italian who
kept stand on the corner of Seventh and
st. Peter streets. Some time ago he was
injured on the railroad, and was crippled
for life, but, procuring license to keep a
street stand, has managed to exc out a
scanty livelihood. Now that he is pro-
hibited from following this business long
er, he is thrown entirely on public charity,
being unable to work, and yester day was
trying to barter off his stock on hand at a
great sacrifice.
Col. G. S. Uline, one of the principal
town site proprietors of DEVILS Lake, and
O. A. Whipple, register of the United
States land Office at that point, are at the
Merchants. Col. Uline reports building
operations very active at DEVILS Lake, and
that the country round about is filling up
very rapidly with permanent and well-to
do settlers, mainly from Iowa, Missouri
Illinois and Michigan. The growing crops
of which there is only small acreage, are
suffering from the prevailing drouth. The
| indications are that not more than half an
average yield will be realized.
The chief of policies new order requiring
all men on the force to carry their clubs il
their hands while on duty, it appears, is
not agreeable to'some of the policemen one
of whom, Officer Steiger, so far consider
erirg it an innovation as to cause him tc
tender his resignation. Steiger was once
a soldier IN Montana, and the query is sug
gested, was he permitted, when on duty, tc
carry his musket in his knapsack? In al
eastern cities policemen are required to
carry their clubs in their hands so as to be
ready for instant use, and Chief Clark;
order making it the rule in st. Paul, i!
very generally commended.

Our Water Power.

The great mass of people have but
little conception of the amount of
unused water power at the South,
particularly on the rivers of the South
Atlantic States. The water power
of North Carnlina, for instance, is
simply tremendous. The main
streams Of the State have an aggre-
gate length Of $500 miles, with an
average fall of 10 feet per mile, Civ
ing horse power which Prof. Kerr
estimates at 100000. The numer-
Gus tributaries and small streams
are not included in this estimate, and
Prof. Kerr says that the wasted wa
ter power of North Carolina rivals the
estimated steam power, both station
ary and locomotive, employed IN
Great Britain.

WHERE DID IT GO?

Red Fish Lake, above Sawtooth
City, on tho summit Of Sawtooth
range of mountains, in the Wood
river region, Idaho, has dropped
through the bottom. The lake had
an area of several miles, and was
many fathoms in depth. 1t was on
the summit Of one of the peaks Of the
range, some 1000 feet elevation
above the sea. and surrounded by
heavy timber, which rendered it de-
lightful place of resort in Summer
for camping, boating and fishing par
ties. The lake has been there since
the white man has known the country
but lately-the day Of occurrence is
not known-the bottom fell out. The
country formation is granite and
limestone, and an immense fissure
has opened, whether caused by sep
aration or settling Of the earth's sur.
face or from volcanic action. is not
known. At present the bed of the
lake is dry, and presents the appear
ance of deep gorge or valley on the
summit of the mountains. The lake
has always contained millions of red
fish, and has been a favorrte resort
for bear. deer and other game. Where
the fish went to is as much a mys.
tery as where the water went to.

It is very essential to the success
of the Democratic party that there
should be harmony if not friendship
among all the members. They should
be able to unite in a common pur-
pose to uphold the grand historic
principles of the party s'to pool their
issues upon later questions where
there is different of opinion, and
to stand shoulder to shoulder in the
great campaign of 1884. We think
the contest is to be warm and diff
cult and we shall need a hearty union
and cooperation on the part of all
Democrats to beat the enemy. 1t is
very easy to unite on the true prin-
ciples of the grand old party, drop
ping after the campaign opens all
differences of views for thetime upon
other questions, We ask for har.
mony because upon it, as we con-
oe1ve, will depend the success Of the
party in 1884. We believe it is a
duty we owe North Carolina to seek
for harmony.-Wl. Star.

MAKING GIRLS STRAIGHT.

The Hindo girls are gracefully and
exquisitely formed. From their ear
liest childhood they are accustomed
to carry burdens on their heads.
The water for family use is always
brought in that way. The exercise
is said to strengthen the muscles of
the back, while the chests thrown for
ward. No crooked backs are seen
in Hindoostan. DR.. H. Spray says
this exercise of carrying small YES.
sells of water on the head might be
advantageously introduced in board.
ing schools and private families. and
that it might entirely supersede the
present machinery of dumb-bells,
bladk-boards. skipping roaps' &c.
Ihe young ladies ought to be taught
to carry the jar as the Hindo women
do, without ever touching it with
their hands. The same practice of
carrying water leads precisely to the
same results in the South of Italy as
in India. A Napolitan female peas.
ant will carry on her head a vessel
full of water to the brim over rough
road and not spill drop of it and the
acquisition of this art or knack giv9s
her the same elastic gait.

A Pair Of Young Travellers.

About eighteen months ago a gen.
tleman anG his wife left York shire
England and came to Louisville. Nv
leaving behind them two little GIRLS
their ages being 2 and 3 years re
spectively. The parents concluded
to make that city their hom.. and
naturally enough wanted their little
darlings with them The two little
ones accordingly left Yorkshire, Eng
land, eighty miles beyond Liverpool
and forty miles beyond Manchester.
and arrived at Liverpool bearin- : let.
ters, and each one marked with tag
bearing an address in Louisville. The
Liverpool agent took charge of them,
put them on board the City of Rich
mond, and after a safe and pleasant
voyage across the Atlantic, they ar.
rived in New York with first. class
through tickets to Louisville, and put
in charge of the sleeping car conduct.
or, who brought them through safely,
arriving via the Short-line railroad.
They were delivered, both we,ring
the tags which they left home in Eng.
land with. These little girls hal left
England alone, crossed the Atlantic
and made safe and pleasant journey
of nearly four thous and miles. They
dld not experience any sickness on
the entire trip, and seemed cheerful
and happy upon their arrival here

The Young Man who will Succeed.

With averge ability, nothiug is
more certain than that the man who
pays close attention to the little de-
tails Of his business, who devotes
his time in their interest, obtaining
Information as we'll as results. is the
man who, in the long run, obtains
the best positions and holds them
against all would be comers. It isn't
a matter of necessity that classical
education has been had by the can.
didate but the better education he
may be possessed of, and the more
practical experien, he more valuable
the the man will be in every instance.
We say this much for encouragement
of the young men, to those who are
now in the ranks and are looking
out for something better.
There never was time when young
men had so much to look forward to
if they make themselvs worthy. Sit.
ting about stores, beer shops, and
gin mills will not, however, procure
the knowledge or actual information
which capitalists, manufacturers and
the owners and managers of indus
trial establishments are looking out
for to-day. II Is the man who ap.
plies himself carefully, gathering in
all the information possible to be
collected with reference to the voca-
ton he may have chosen, that stands
the first chance, and if he is strictly
sober, sensible, honest and reliable
he will not need the help of uncles
or cousins, for the plain fact of the
matter is. too much Of this business
has been done. Er.

A Model School Teacher.

A tolerably athletic young man
took certain school to teach years
ago in Western New York after a
number of pedagogues had tried it
and given it up in despair. The "big
boys'' had driven the teachers away
invariably, and the encouragement
was so complete the first day that
they never undertook second edi-
ton. This young man took hold with
full knowledge of the difficulty, and
with hope that he could succeed.
He was mild hammered, and he open.
ed the school the first day with a
pleading smile on his lips that made
even the small boys reckless. He was
taking the names of the children. and
progressed without difficulty till he
came to John Tarbox. the ring leader
of the unruly ones, and the boy who
always gave the signal for trounclng
the master
The new teacher approached him
with a smile on his face, and said:
"Now. will you tell me your name,
please"
The boy leaned back in his seat,
put his feet over the top of the desk,
and looked cross.eyed at the new
teacher. while all the school roared.
"Please tell me your name," re-
peated the teacher pleadingly, and
without noticing his rudeness.
WALL" drawled the fellow, "some-
times they call me Bob, and some
times they call me Pete, and some
times they call me somethin' else, but
you better not call me anything y
The mildlooking teacher had been
expecting all this; there he had the
advantage. He had prepared him
self for a fight, not a fight for a min
ute, but for an hour or day, if need
be he had been in manner trained
for it, and so just as the last words
were out of the boys mouth he dealt
the big lubber a blow between the
eyes that stunned him, and then
grasping him by the collar dragged
him head long oyer the seats, stood
him up on the floor with a jam and
thundered out "What is your
name?"
''Joh n Tarbox !"exclaimed the boy,
promptly, and with his eyes fairly
bulging from his head.
Every well,' said the teacher.
''Take your seat, John,'' and John
took it.
There was no more difficulty, and
at the end of the season that school
was said to be the best in the coun-
trv.
