You release me! From what, Ida?"

And then atern look came over his
face-a sterner, graver look than she had
ever thought to see directed to her.
For what reason?"
Can you ask me after what you have

Indignantly.

1t was evident that he was not to be

him as at this moment-the last she

What did you say? l think can re-

Mr.. Frizolet stepped forward suddenly,
smiling and delighted.

"Lennox! Was it?"

With her sweet eyes full of penitent

creek with them, up which the herd was
being driven. A storm was coming
up, aud tle cattle exhibited some signs
of uneasiness. Mr.. De Hass sent word
to the military officer that he had better
got his men, wagons and animals on the
opposite side of the creek and out of the
way, as he feared there was going to be
a might run" The herders were in
structed to keep their horses saddled and
be ready to mount at moments notice.
The cattle were very uneasy, getting up,
lying down again, and shifting about.
At last, about midnight, there came a
sharp flash of lightning, followed by
heavy peal of thunder, and in an instant
the whole herd were upon their feet.
and the herder who was at the head of
the column drove off few of the lead
ing steers in the direction they were to
go. All the others followed, and the
herd was soon in full fight. The herders
made no effort to check or control them
further than to keep them going straight;
they rode at the head of the column
one on each side of them swung to the
right or left to keep the trail; bluff, and
precipices were avoided and the open
fat ground courted. The run lasted
about two hours, when gorge was be
ing neared, in which the cattle would
crowd and break their limbs. They were
now quite tired and the herders were de.
termined to exert their authority or stop
the run. The head of the column was
bent out on the prairie and circled
around and around until the cattle be-
came tied up in huge ball and could
not move at all. in this way they were
obliged to stand until morning the herd,
ers riding round and round them and
keeping them tied up. At daylight they
were allowed to "open out" First the
outer edge scattered. then layer after
layer, until the huge pile of beef was
herd grazing as quietly as if nothing had
happened. -Cincinnati Commercial.

The Goose Question.

A Maryland sportsman is getting
ready to exterminate the wild geese OF
this country. He is having a rubber suit
manufactured, with head-piece that will
be an exact imitation of q goose, and
magnifying glasses for his eyes. The
Maryland man will float along, with his
entire body concealed, and only the
goose in sight. When he gets in flock
of wild geese he will siddle along up,
catch hold of the geese. pull them under
and drown them. He thinks in this way
he will be able to catch every goose he
goes for, and supply the retail trade.
We do not see but the plan is bound to
be complete success, and tho future
looks dark enough for this noble game
bird. However, il the Maryland man
should suddenly wake up, sometime,
when he is sailing smoothly along some
lake or river, to find q country boy on
the bank blazing away at his goose's head
with smooth bore rife loaded with
buckshot-well, that would be time for
disappearing. A country boy shoots
wicked with one of these old fuzees, and
if he felt he had got to get that goose, as
the family were out of meat, the Mary
land man would not feel so sure about
his being bloated monopolist of the
whole North American goose question.
There are always points in these new
schemes that do not occur to one in the
first flush of enthusiasm.

E The DevilI Lake Land Office.

1t will be asource of satisfaction to some
and disappointment to many no doubt to
know that the question of locating the
government land Office in the vicinity of
DEVILS lake has been finally determined.
Considerable speculation has been had
with reference to the subject, and strong
effort has been made by parties in inter
est to secure its location. But the subject
has been decided by the secretary of the
interior in favor of Creel City, aud that's
the end of it. On yesterday Delegate Pet
tigrew, of Dakota, received a dispatch
from Washington announcing this
fact, though no particulars were furnished.
The gentleman was seen by GLOBE re-
porter on yesterday afternoon but beyond
the statement respecting its location at
the above designated point declined to be
interviewed. The order making the as
signment will be issued at once and within
the ensuing thirty days at the furthest. the
office will be ready for business.

State of Minnesota Test Suit.

Tho State of Minnesota filed the papers
n suit against Merriam, Burrows & Co.,
of Minneapolis, in the district court of
Ramsey county yesterday, to recover
$3,450 for logs cut by one Samuel Hamil-
ton on the state and school lands Efforts
have been made by the surveyor general
repeatedly, to have this and other claims
of like character settled on the STUN page
or otherwise, but the parties have paid no
attention to the states claims.
As no legal contract was made by Ham
ilton, and other parties who have cut logs
on the state lands, and no bonds were filed.
the stumpage claim of $1.25 per acre will
be left out of the question and those
cutting the logs, and those buying them,
state, as liable for unlawful conversion of
state property.
AS Hamilton is an irresponsible party.
the state brings its suit against his Min
neapolis firm, who is res ponsiole, As buy
ers of the unlawfully obtained logs, and it
will be test one, and will probably be de-
cided in such 2 manner as to bring them
and other dilatory log cutters and buyers
up to the captains Office to settle forth
with.

The ST. Paul Coffee House.

l. is deemed desirable by the managers
of the Coffee House, to bring before the
public, without whose subscriptions they
could not have begun their work in the
first place, and to whose patronage they
owe their continued success, a statement
OF the work done by the Coffee House en-
terprise in the past five months.
The Coffee House association of st. Paul
was incorporated in October last as a be-
nevolent society.
A suitable building was found at 142
East Third Street, which could be arranged
10 suit the purposes of Coffee House.
Expensive alterations, though heavy
drain, on the small capital in the hands
of the association, were made in the lower
floor and basement. Along one side OF
the diningroom was placed lunch coun-
Ter where dishes at the uniform price of
i've cents are served.
The bill of fare comprises stews of all
kinds, pies, soups, coffee, etc. The re-
ralnder OF the room is fitted with tables,
and chairs, and meals are served as at any
Restaurant. Below is the basement and
lhe kitchen, and laundry.
On November 10TH, the Coffee House
was opened and 700 people were fed at its
tables, and counter. The fact was estab-
hshed on that first day, that the city of st.
Paul needed, and would patronize such an
Institution. Each day the experience has
been the same. Boot-blacks and new-boys
taruHged its counters three times daily
while the tables are no less crowded.
through out the entire five months thatthe
Coffee House, has been running, the pat
zonage has been steady, greater than could
De attended to in fact, as the room will
not hold all who come, and numbers go
away, every day unable to find 'accommo-
dation.
During the winter the prices of all arti-
Giles Of food in the market have been
greatly Increased, but the Coffee House list
remains the same that it was in November.
The 8ssociation has endeavored to make
the Coffee House what the original circular
claims 4 would be, a temperance restau-
rart waere well cooked food could be OBJ
tanned at the lowest prices compatible
with making it " supporting.
The Coffee Louise is self-supporting.
Excepting the sum of $2.055.35 subscribed
q tle besinning of the work, not one dol
Lar hes been solicited to aid III carrying it
on. The receipts have exceeded slightly
the expenses &.ring the past few months.

THEoDORE THOMAS.

The GLOBE deems itself fortunate in
being able this morning to present. the
details of an event which has been looked
forward to with great interest by the
music lovers of the northwest for several
months. We aIlude of course to the
Thomas festival, comprising six concerts
which occur in st. Paul and Minneapolis
during the last four days in May. It is
needless for Us to add that they will be of
a nature to justify the rosy anticipa;
tions that are too be INDUCED in regarding
an event which the most enthusiastic
prophet of the future of these two cities
could hardly have anticipated would oe-
cur so early in their history. An event
which brings to st. Paul and Minneapolis
a MUSICIAN whose fame has penetrated to
every capital in Europe, with an orches
ira by the aid of whose marvellous &C.
complishments he has achieved his prom
inence, to mark its impress upon commu-
mites strongly alive to whatever of excel.
ence in this direction they are able to
secure; and we expect such demonstra-
ton of enthusiasm as will convince Mr..
Thomas that his great continental tour
is an undertaking that will be repaid as
well in thorough appreciation of his great
services to musical art, as in the financial
returns which are VIGOROUSLY of least mo-
ment to this renowned enthusiast. Our
only regret in the matter is that we are at
present destitute of hall of sufficient di-
mansions TO demonstrate how universally
the people of the northwest are interested
in the work of this great hero of Ameri-
can music, and how cordially they will
welcome him as often as it is possible for
them to enjoy so rare treat as the feast
of good things which the programme of
his six concerts in st Paul and Minneapo-
lis places before them.

en- and pantry to the dining room made it
imperative that a new kitchen should be
added in the rear of the building and also
an ice house. The kitchen now being
built will shortly be finished, and the space
at present occupied by the pantry will be
thrown in the dining room, thus increas-
ing its seating capacity somewhat.
A branch counter has been started on
Sibley street prominently located opposite
thelUnion Depot, within the past fortnight.
AS the receipts warrant it, branch estab-
l1shments will be started in localities,
where in the Judgment of the association.
and its patrons, they are most needed.
All the surplus money, after the running
expenses of each month are paid, is strict
ly to be set aside toward fund for estab-
fishing branch coffee houses, or lunch
counters. as has already been done on
Sibley street.
The amount Of work done by this insti-
tuition cannot be understood by any per-
son unless he is actually in the Coffee
House, and sees the stream of people com
ing, and going, and the packed counters
and tables.
In three weeks more than sixteen thous-
and 10000 people have been fed the
average number of meals served daily be-
ing nine hundred.
