The First Northern Pdcifs Celebration i7s
Minnesota History Thirty Years Ago.
Huron, Dakota Leader Sept. 5.
The following incident had almost faded
from the memory of the writer. 1t was,
accidentally recalled only last week and
is now printed as timely contribution to
Northern Pacific literature:
In the spring of 1858 the editor of the
Leader was serving his first year as an
apprentice at the printing business in the
Office of the st. Anthony express, at st.
Anthony (now East MinEeapolis), Mime
sofa.
Early in that year congress passed law
directing survey of the country through
which the Northern Pacific R. R. now
passes, for the sake of exploring the route
and seeing if it was feasible to build q
railroad on that line. The persons directed
to do this were in charge of Gov. Isaac 1.
Stevens, who had just been appointed
governor of Washington Territory, and
they were to start from Fort Smelling and
go through to Puget's Sound.
In those days-with no railroads nearer
than Freeport, ILL.,, only two papers in st.
Paul, the Pioneer and the Minnesooian,
and the Express being the only other pa
per in Minnesota-the coming of gov
eminent surveying party was a great
event. When they reached st. Paul big
supper was given them, attended as near as
we can recall by Gov. Ramsey, II. II.
Sibley, Henry NJ. Rice, James NJ. Good
hue, founder of the Pioneer, John z. Ovens,
owner of the Minnesotian, Judge Atwater,
judge Flandreau, VIM. p. Murray, and
other noted men. It was about the biggest
time that had ever been had in Minnesota.
The speakers, after the supper, dilated at
great length on the future glory OF st.
Paul minneapolis wasn't born then; it all
burnt over with prairie fire that spring..
They dwelt at length on tbs vast commerce
which the Puget Sound railroad would
bring them, and how it would build up st.
Paul especially.
When the day of departure came a large
number of people assembled at Fort Slel-
ling to see them off. Add when they left
nobody evey expected TO see or hear from
them again, for the cruel red men lined
the yBth they we're to explore. But ,hey
got to Puget sound and sent back a good
Mbe tow headed printers devil who saw
them ride ont of the Fort had never a
thought that Thirty years later he would
be writing of the completion of the mag
nifcent highway which Gov. Stevens was
then starting out to explore. But so it is.
The road is done ond its owners are now
jubilating over it. ST. Paul is its terminus
and Ramsey, Slbley, Murray, Atwater and
others who drank champagne to its sue
cess in 1853 joined in the jubilee at st.
Paul, last Monday, Sept. 8, 1883.
Gen. Stevens was in command of
division in the army of the Potomac, and
Turing the days when Burnside and Hook
,r failed as its commanders President
Lincoln sent Stevens a commission as
najor-g general and gave him the command
If the army of the Potomac. Before
hese reached him he was killed in battle.

linates on the Puget Sound expedition,

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-On the exchange
for time this morning stocks were active
and higher. Denver was about the first to
falter. After rally to % it broke badly,
selling at 261a, and failed to recuperate
until near the finish. At midday the mar
ket was decidedly stagnant. There seem
ed to be no order from either side, and the
exchange presented almost a holiday ap-
pearance. Yellow fever and frost stories
were abroad in the land, and deferred pur-
chasing to any extent. The weakness in
the Northern Pacifcs was an unfavorable
feature. They received no support what
ever, and are handy foot ball
for bears, who utilize them as oc.
casion offers. The sooner they find
their level the better it will be for all con.
cerned. The disastrous collapse Of their
ally, Oregon Transit, caused wise men to
ponder and wonder how per cent. divi-
dend payer could act in such an cratic
manner. The Vanderbilt properties con
tinue strong. Lake Shore finds purchasers
among those who know that the road is
earning money. st. Paul rolls up another
large increase in weekly earnings.
The failure of Boston house was an
nounced during the day, and bears saw
that the information was we'll distributed
1t had little effect. The close was dull, the
tone strong. At the opening the entire
bear element appeared to be exerting theil
strength to depress the Northern Pacific
and the general market was heavy, in sym
pathy. The Gould stocks seemed to 90
down early, but no amount of good divi-
dend stocks could be had at the quototions
made. The undertone all day seemed
healthy and strong. During the middle
hours of the day the lowest prices were
made and the duilness greatest. At no
time was there anything like activity. The
closing hour brought higher figures aud 8
better feeling. 1t is again reported Gould
is buying. Lake ashore & Michigan Cen
trail were very firm in tone
and the former is booked for still
further advance. Denver was weak all
day, Coalers steady to strong. North
western was we'll sustained near SO. Lou
isville & Nashville earnings the second
week of September increased $4,000, ST.
Paul earnings $76,700, Northwestern earn
ings $4,000, Omaha earnings $4,000. Chi
eago, Burlington & Quincy was held firm
all day, and 1858 was bid for 1000 shares
but none came out. st. Paul declared a
dividend of 81 per cent. on common aui
preferred. Northern Pacific has few
friends on Wall street or among specula
tors generally. There is very little good
said of these stocks in brokers' offices
1t is said bearish pamphlet on the
property is being prepared in Woerishof-
fer's Office and it is intimated insiders are
selling because they fear the effect on the
price of stock which will be produced by
the annual statement. 1t is said it will
appear that the Northern Pacific is largely
indebted to the Transcontinental com pany
1t would not be surprising to find that the
effect has been largely discounted.
No one seems to understand the market
Just now. There is no outside trading and
the room traders and operators are not
acting with any confidence.

The feet that our postal friends mailed
a large edition Of the GLOBE yesterday
speaks volumes for their discriminating
intelligence, but the further fact that some
three bushels were held for inadequate
postage might be classed as quite prac-
tical joke upon them. 1t should be borne
in mind by the postal gentlemen, and
all others, that no eight page paper can
be sent III the mails without the payment
of two cents postage.

TIE REPUBLICAN, Alarm.

A letter from H. G. Van Leuven, editor of
the Vidette, a Republican paper published
at Spring Valley, Fillmore county, Min
nesota, appears upon the sixth page of
this issue of the GLOBE. Mr.. Van Leuven
had the honesty to sound the alarm which
his party actual feel relative to the coming
election and is being roundly abused for
his frankness. The st. Paul Dispatch
having accused him of attempting to
blackmail the Republican candidate and
Republican state committee in certain let
tiers, Mr.. Van Leuven meets the accusation
very plumply by challenging and inviting
the publication of the letters
in question. The GLOBE takes
great pleasure in giving Mr..
Van Leuven the hearing which is denied
him in his own party and comedies that he
makes out crushing case against his
accusers.
The meat of this whole affair is found
in the fact that the abused editor has told
the plain truth, and has stated facts which
the Republican leaders admit among
themselves but which they did not wish
made public.
1t can be set down as a fact that Coz.
Hubbard and his friends are seriously
alarmed relatire to his election.
The letter of Mr.. Van Leuven's, to which
We have calloa attention, is not the only
evidence o. his fact which we
have in our possession. A secret meeting
of prominent Republicans was held in
this city feE days ago at which the
gravity of the situation was discussed, and
it was freely conceded that if the election
was to take place Immediately, Gov. Hub
bard would be overwhelmingly defeated.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the Vidette editor tells the truth when he
says the secretary Of the Republican state
committee admitted the fear of defeat. S
generally entertained by the Republican
This is their inside feeling. Outside, they
are, of course, all brag and buster, as tie
interview of GLOBE reporter with Sena-
tor Sabin in Chicago yesterday
shows. Mr.. Sabin's utterances are
undoubtedly intended as sort Of
key note for his party, and it lis expected
that having been given the tip, in this
manner, and will arise and shout in unisen
that no one is afraid and all is lovely. The
rage against they abuse OF Mr.. Van Lou
Ven, is because he has made pub
lie The fact of the real inside sentiment
of the Republican leaders, instead of in
dulging in the ridiculous exaggeration,
which is used for public effect.
The GLOBE trasts the Republican leaders
will make their brags so fast and furious
as to lull their rank and file into feeling
of security. That will be very satisfactory.
In the meantime, too much Importance
cannot be placed upon the necessity
of bringing out every Democratic vote.
That is the key to the situation. The dis
gusted Republicans, the personal liberty
Republicans and all the other sensible Re-
publicans will do their share to Sc
cure Democratic victory in Mime
sofa this fall. Certainly, the Democrats
ought to aid in this by bringing every
member of their party to the polls.
The Republicans of Minnesota are al
ready on the run. The Democrats can
make it q rout in November if they will
cast all their votes.

Chased by Coyotes.

bother sheep much in this country
They will, however, keep around the
sheep at distance and howl in the early
morning and at night. The shepherd
dogs he considers great protection, as
they will run the coyotes off, although
they cannot whip them. Recently,
however, the order of things was re-
versed, and band of coyotes corraled
a valuable shepherd dog and ran him
off through the hills. The absence of
the dog was afterwards, fortunately,
soon discovered, and herders, mounted
on fleet and sure-footed horses, fol-
lowed in search. The dog was at length
seen at distance, completely surround
ed by about ten of the cunning coyotes.

faithful creature away from the camp.
At intervals the dog would attempt to

A Session of the Supreme Court.

When twelve o'clock comes, there are
perhaps dozen lawyers sitting at the
tables within the bar, and q score Of
spectators waiting on the crimson plush
sofas for the court to open. 4 rustic of
silk is heard from the open door lead
ing to the retiring-rooms. Attic other
side of the chamber sits young man at
a desk, who has been listening for few
minutes for that sound. He rises, and
announces In a clear voice: "The Hon
orable the Chief Justices and Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States, whereupon lawyers and
spectators all get up on their feet The
rustllng sound approaches, and there
enters a procession of nine dignifed old
men, clad in black silk gowns that
reach almost to their feet, with wide
sleeves and ample skirts. At the head
walks the Chief-Justice, and the others
follow in the order of their length of
service in the court. They stand a
moment in front of their chairs, and all
bow at once to the bar. The lawyers
return the salute; then the judges sit
down, the Associates being careful,
however, nos to occupy their chairs be-
fore the Chief-Justice is settled in his.
Now the young man, who is the crier,
exclaims, in a monotonous fashion:
"Oyez! oyez! oyez! All persons
having business before the Honorable
Supreme Court of the United States are
admonished to draw near and give their
attention, for the court is now sitting.
God save the United States and this
honorable COURT"
Business begins promptly and is dis
patched rapidly. First, motions are
heard, then the docket is taken up.
The Chief Justice calls the case in order
in quiet tone, and lawyers on the
floor making an argument, while you
are still expecting that there will be
some further formality attending the
opening of SO august tribunal.
The proceedings are impressive only
from their simplicity. Usually the ar
guments of counsel are delivered in
low, conversational tones. Often the
judges interrupt to ask questions. In
patent cases, models of machinery are
frequently used to illustrate an argu-
ment, and are handed up to the judges
for examination, or blackboard is used
for diagrams. Were it not for the gray
hair and black gowns of the judges, you
might almost imagine at times that the
gentleman at the blackboard, with
crayon in hand, was college professor
lecturing to class. Or you may hap

The Patriarch of Simmons, Gan.

An old gentleman residing in Sim

wide, varied, and full an experience of
domesticity as any man since the days
of King Augustus IL, of Poland. This
happy man, who has attained the patri-
archal age of four score years, has had
the supreme felicity Of being married
nine times, and it is the ninth wife who
is at present solacing-one can't say his
declining years, because there is no
knowing what are the potentialities of a
man who has displayed such hardihood
but who IS, at any rate, the present
mistress of Simmons gap. Nor in wives
alone has this fine old gentleman been
well and extremely endowed. Fifty
three persons are entitled to call him
papa" and at a recent family gather
ing over three hundred OF his descend
ents were present.
