BRAINERD, MINI, April 2O.-Y ester
day crowd of armed tramps took pos
session Of bridge near the city and
stopped all corners. The sheriff with
posse captured six of the party and
lodged them in Jail. The remainder
took to the woods. Two of the sheriff's
officers were wounded. The sheriff
then armed his men with Winchester
rifles and hunted out the balance of the
party. Two made fight with revolvers,
one of them was probably fatally
wounded. Eight are now in jail. They
all pretend to hail from New Orleans

No Chinese Need Apply.

In response to an inquiry, w. T..
Welcker, superintendent of public in
struction in California, has written a
letter in which he holds that Chinese
children cannot legally be admitted to
the public schools of that State. While
admitting that there is no direct legal
prohibition to this effect, he argued that
as the provisions of the State constitu-
ton look to the encouragement of
Chinese immigration, and declares their
presence to be dangerous, to admit
Monaghan children to the schools would
be in direct disobedience to the spirit of
the fundamental law, rs such admis-
sion "would foster their presence" in
California and enormously encourage
their immigration.

Custom vs.. Women.

Custom is a powerful law maker,
but not always a just one. With
women it is a relentless tyrant
with men only a gentle mentor Ev-
cry man must SOW his wild oats.
He is a man and it is only when he
commits great sin against its laws
does it lift its voice in remonstrance.
But woe betide the unlucky woman
who may err in the least particular.
She must bear the bitter penalty
that custom impresses on its victims
If she asserts herself, she is strong
minded and blue; ifshe supports
herself, she is masculine; if she as
pires to higher culture, then custom
raises its hands in holy horror
while q chorus of masculine voices
cry, she is usurping our rights and
threatening our liberties. Custom
still holds the ideas Of the century
past that women should be nothing
but a house.keeper; should be inno-
cent of the ways Of the world
with no will of her own. One OF
our young men says call men would

ike a Desdamona for a wife" In
these days, in this age, what would
be the fate of such women? Would
their innocence Of the worlds ways;
their weakness and ignorance be
safeguards or snares. Indeed, wo-
men need a will and character to
resist and endure evil; an intelligent
and cultivated mind to keep pace
with the times. Granted the one
great object Of a woman's life is to
wed; how is it to be with those to
whom that boon is denied. Custom
holds out to the man a future ever
bright; ever glorius. His is the am
bition; his the honor and liberty. To
woman a narrow room. There
she must stay, whileing her life
away in dreary drudgery, or pitiful
trifling with noble longings unsatis-
fed; noble ambitions checked; noble
thoughts UNDECIDED; no room for no
BILE deeds, SO hampered is she by
custom; no occupation but that with
IN those dreary walls; no thoughts
but of the coming man who will re-
lease her from her toll. What Won
der they are silly creatures and il
the Prince never comes what must
she do then? Must she still stay
there wearing her life away with
petty trihes, following the dictates
Of custom, in the end to receive its
leers and contemptious smiles with
which it rewards its old maiden de-
voices. Or shall she rise above it
and though home and love may
never be hers find contentment and
peace in such occupation as will
give her competence otherwise
than found in the kitchen and tub.
Even then she is moro fortunate
than some Of her sisters; even then
custom commands her to stop and
refuse or accept such offers as will
come to her, while to the man it
gives the exclusive privilege OF
choice. Free women have the
choice between her lovers if she
has more than one. But how often
is it a choice between two evils,
while the lords of creation have the
whole Of creation to chose from if
they will. That is one cause that
fills our courts with divorce cases;
our papers with scandals; our GENE
taries with graves. Forced by Gus
tom to the alter with one from
which she would shrink were it not
for the thought that she would
escape the odium custom heaps upon
its virgin devotces. Wonder that
women will sell their very souls for
one glimpse Of the Paradise from
which she is debarred. Is it Won
der there are drunken imprisoned
or criminal husbands; imbecile, Vi
cious wives; and sometimes the
bloody, lifeless body hurled into
eternity by an overgoaded man;
children in the poor house or in
the streets swelling the tide of
those doomed to utter destruction?
These are all thine, o, Custom.

a number of the colored voters
OF Ward 3 met at the school house
last Monday night and agreed to
support Mr.. d. W. Oates and Col.
G. J. Cowles for School Commiss-
toner's, and Rev. Edmond Davidson
for Alderman, leaving the other
places for aldermen blank.
Mrs. Dorsey, a white lady, of
Montgomery, Ala, left her bed in
the dark while her husband was
asleep, and on returning was mis-
took by him for a burglar and shot
dead.
A young white lady in Monroe
shot young man through the head
with a pistol last Monday. She
"didn't know it was loaded" The
ball entered mis- forehead. That is
a criminal carelessness that ought
to be punished as any other MUIR
der. A white boy in the same town
on the same day shot q colored man
in the leg by carelessness.
Our sanctum was graced by a
handsome boquet from the hand OF
a lovely lass last Tuesday. We are
a lover of flowers; and while this
young donor is no special admirer
of the editor, we are reminded that
our first boquet of the season comes
from our first lady subscriber. Is
it a good omen?
AS a recognition of the services
of Mr.. D. w. Oates on the present
Board of School Commissioners,
the colored people of Ward 3 de-
sire to give him their undivided
support for re election. We think
the present a very good Board, and
hope Gen. r. D. Johnston will be
voted for by every colored man in
Ward /.

The above paragraph has been
going the rounds of the press of the
country. For the information of
all concerned, we must admit this is
too good a joke to go farther. There
is no such man or foot about this
city, and our oldest inhabitants
have 20 recollection of either.
There is no truth in the statement.
The time has come when, in local
elections, we must support princi-
pies, and we must have honest, re-
liable men as the representatives Of
those principles. Our graded
schools must be supported, and
there are other reforms necessary
in our city government. In order
that this paper be not misunder-
stood, we say now, we cannot advo-
cate nor vote for a man to fill any
office if he is not fit man for the
office. We say further, the colored
man is a very important factor in
our city elections. That he was
not served right by the present
officers. He deserves to be repre-
scented. Let us have one or two
colored policemen, the assistant
cotton weigher, and two or three
aldermen.

ut-Of-tlle-wny I'arls,

The tourist, VINO has consclentlously
done Notre Dame and tho Tomb OF
Napoleon, Paris, need not sit down
and weep for more worlds of curloslties
to conquer. There is still ancient
Paris to explore. Although tllore has
been 80 much new building there arc
many old houses left, if you know
where to find them. The Hotel do
Sens is one Of these--a fine example
Of civil Gothic architecture, quite
feldal in parts, half fortress and half
dwelling-hOuse. This is at the corner
OF the Rue du Fig,lier and tho Hotel
dc Vile. Then there is u grand old
mousse III tho Ruc lie Seyigne, called tho
Hotel CarnayaleL. This may gradually
lind It's way into the guide books, be-
cause the Municipal Council has taken
1T for Il museum Of local and RevOlu-
tionlry curiosities, but till the other
day it was known only TO a happy few.
Madame do Sevigno lived there for
twenty years, and many Of those letters
which were the despair Of our school
life were no doubt written in her apart
! ment Oh the first floor in the rear Of
the courtyard. But the hotel is really
worth seeing for itself, apart from it's
memories; it is extremely well pre-
served, and it looks very nearly as it
may have looked two centuries ago.
The keystone OF the outer doorway was
carved by Jean Goujon. and there is
more OF his work in the great court.
Tho old place has an air Of dignity and
quiet, Of "refuge from the storms of
llte," which somehow seems wanting
in tho architecture OF to-day. The
llotol Jabach, No. 40, Ruo Saint.

Knro Old tsOoks of Great VaIuo.

1 heard an old Now York bibliophile
say the other day that he could make
good living by buying books at ono shop
and selling them Mt another. A man
has TO know good deal to DO thorough
ly posted IN rare books without turning
to reference catalogues, etc. which are
not always on hand. A little book
stood on shelf in q booksellers shop
for five years marked $3.50. One day
clerk, in reading over an English
catalogue, saw mention OF book that
drew his attention to this volume. He
went to the shelf, blew tho dust off of
it, and marked it $25 instead OF $3, 80.
1t WAS the original edition of the poems
of two brothers, Alfred and Arthur Ten
nyson. He put the book in a conspicu-
ous place, and 1t sold at once. No
sooner was it sold for $25 than pome
one came in and offered $3.50 for it,

price. The bookseller examined 1t and
found 1T inscribed by John Elliott in his

Cardinal IsiclleIieu' Skull.

Cardinal Richelicu, the King OF the
King, AZ the people had nicknamed him,
was entombed in the fullness Of his
glory in the vaults OF the Sorbonue
Church. One day, some sixteen years
ago, the Mayor ola little village in Brit
tany presented himself before tho En-
peror Napoleon Ill. lie opened small
box Which he brought under his arm,
unwrapped theparcel which it contained
and drew from it II human mask. The
skin was dried up and wrinklcd, the
eyes deeply buried in their sockets, the
mouth contracted, tho teeth perfect.
The beard, mustaches and eyebrows $
were still in their places, and the whole
was covered with a yellow yarnisll like
the Mayor, "you behold all that remains
Of Cardinal Richelieu.n
In the month Of December, 1893,
when revolutionary party pillag ged the
t0mhS OF the SOrDOnne, one of The SOL
diers entered tho vault which contained
the body Of the Cardinal, and, finding
that the mask of the face, doubtless in
order to facilitate some process Of em-
balming, had been sawn off from tho
rest OF the head, possessed himself OF it
ana ulSplayeu IL III triumph to The spec
tators, who thought that he had him .
self cut off the great mans head. Sub
| sequently II halter named Choval pos
sessed himself of the trophy. and hid it
in q cupboard at the back OF his shop.
The Ninth Thermidor came, the hattor
in alarm, gave the mask in charge to
one Of his customers, the Abbo Arm 81,
who carried it with him to Brittany and
gave it to his brother. The brother,
finding that insects were attacking tho
relic, consulted the village apotnecary
by whose advice it was vanished. 1t
was this gentleman's son who brought
1t to Paris in 1866, and in December OF
that year it was restored with great
ceremony to its place under tho monu-
ment Of the Cardinal, in tho presence
Of the Archbishop Of Paris, Monsig-
nor Darboy, the Duke of Richelieu, and
o great gathering Of notabilities. Since
that day the Emperor has died in oxile,
the Archbishop Of Paris has been shot,
and the last Of the name OF Ricnelieu
has died without issue.
