tice will be given of location of his rooms
for reception of pupils.
The ladies Of the church of st. John the
Evangelist finished on Tuesday evening
last at Sherman Hall one of the most pleas
ant and satisfactory entertainments ever
offered to the public at that place. Owing
to the exceedingly dissgreeable weather
and the Remenyi concert at the Opera house
the attendance was not as large as it ought
to have been, or as it otherwise would have
H. IL
ant, the supper was pleasant, the comedy
was pleasant, and all, all was pleasant ex-
cept the weather, and that was villainous.
The ladies of Pacific church and congre-
CATION gave a very successful fair and
festival Thursday evening, the 18th inst,
at their church on Acker street. Although
the evening was stormy a large number
were present. There was good display
of fancy and useful articles. 4 very hand
some scarf made by Mrs. Benson was voted
to the greatest talker, and brought about
500. Other articles were disposed of at
equally good prices. Too much credit
cannot be given the ladies whose def
hands made the articles, assisted IN their
sale and served at the tables Among those
especially worthy of mention are the names
of Mesdames Baily, Benson, Conant, En-
merson, Fosolt, Gardner, Gibbs, Grrham,
Johnson, Myron, Miller, Parker, Purdy,
Slavery and Woods. The net proceeds are
about $3.50.
It gives US pleasure to announce that
Miss Geist, who has opened conservatory
of music at No. 1877 West Third street, is
arranging to give a musicale soon, prob
| ably the last part of the present week, at
her conservatory. The programme will
embrace duets and trlos for the violin,
piano and cello, solos for each of the in
| struments and vocal selections, and pos
| sibly some readings. The programme has
not been decided upon definitely, nor has
the time, but the matter of introducing a
| trio for the violin, piano and
| organ is under consideration. The
! rooms of Miss Geist's conservatory
are large and very conveniently arranged
for the purpose of giving such musicale
as is proposed, and when it takes place il
will be regarded as one of the most pleas
ant AMI agreeable entertainments of the
kind ever given in st. Paul.
One of the pleasantest, and most tender
of delicate social amenities occurred yes
terday at the new Court house, thatl it has
ever been our pleasure to witness. For
many moons the newly elected mayor of
st. Paul has been known to be very partial
towards Mr.. Bells gentlemanly assistant,
Mr.. Slim Jim. The tender regard the
mayor elect has for this gentleman was
illustrated yesterday in very striking
manner. The mayor elect secured very
elegant fishing rod, completed in all re-
spects, and gold mounted. This the gentle
man who is soon to preside over the affairs
of St. Paul, sent to Mr.. Slim, with tender
note expressing his great admiration for
that gentleman's character and acquire
ments and requesting him to accept the
same with ''the renewed assurances of his
most distinguished consideration" The
large words so generously, and 50 musical
ly rolled together in the first sentence at
first caused the reel pient of the fishing rod
to fear that his old friend the new mayor
had 'gone back" on him. He hesitated, a
dew drop sparkled in the northwest corner
of his blue eye, and mis- spirits
dropped, but just at that moment a
learned man happened into the Office and
explained those large words, when all was
pleasant and satisfactory, the rod was &C
cepted, and everything was again lovely.
