The Duluth Tribune had another
long article OH the bridge question a
few days ago, notable only for the lies
and misrepresentation it contains. As
usual Mitch makes a personal attack
upon the editor Of the TINES, simply
because in speaking of the bridge
building project he has seen fit to state
the truth in the matter, and if there is
one thing that Mitchell hates more
than another it is a man who will tell
the truth. But we consider the source
from whence the assault comes, and
pass it by. Mitchell also persists in
telling his readers that Connors Point
is a part Of Duluth-South Duluth,
he calls it. No one bat a man stepped
in intamy and SO given over to the habit
Of lying that his hair has turned red,
would reltteratc from day to day that
silly assertion. Go to. thou essence Of
villany.

New Road SeeG Ell.

J. f. Bishoff, our Town Clerk, has
an advertisement in to-day's paper,
asking for bids for the building of a
new town road, commencing on Cor
coran Avenue at Sixth Street, thence
to the southwest corner Of Ely's addi-
ton, thence along the section line to
the Pokegama, total distance of
about four miles. This road has been
partially opened up before, and is one
that is now much needed, as is will
give access to good timber, hay, and
farm lands lying along the Pokegama.
Bids are wanted for the work, the
road to be built and ready for use by
he first of June next. Read the
Clerks notice.

The entertainment given by the SUI
perior Dramatic Society, at the town
hall, last Friday evening, ranks among
the best entertainments ever presented
in our town. The play itself, ''Ihe
Last Loaf" was we'll rendered in ali
its parts, and gave general satisfaction.
The farce, with which the performance
closed, was like all such nonsense,
farce indeed. The troupe will please
allow Us to say that we do not believe
in farces under any circumstances, and
they will find that by emitting that
part Of the entertainment they will
give better satisfaction. We never
yet saw farce acted that tended to
display any ability in the actor, or
make him or her more gentleman
or lady, and surely it spoils the effect
of all previous good acting, just as the
sight of a contribution box will chase
away all halIowed influences of
powerful and impressive sermon. Now
kind friends don't think we are read
ing you a lecture for rendering this
particular farce-for it is among the
best written-but we mean our re-
marks to apply to all farces and to all
occasions. We hope the society will
furnish us another play soon, and we
understand another play is we'll in
hand, and will be presented in due
time.

1t is shame the way some per-
sous handle the pumps in this town.
They think no more of breaking a
pump than of treading on a straw, land
this week the one on Second street at
the Shaw corner, and the one at the
corner of Nettleton avenue and Fifth
street, are both broken, and the people
in this end of town are forced to use
bay water. 1t is sheer nonsense to
break the pumps, and those who do it
ought to be punished.

making for Ventura shore. When OFT
San Buenaventura a calm in the wind
decreased the speed in the boat, when .
large seal was noticed near by.
On reaching the wharf at Santa Bar
bara at two o'clock the next morning a
seal was again discovered swimming
about the boat. It was not supposed
that this was the mother of the captive,
or out of pity for its misery the pup
would have been thrown overheard. T.
better secure the pup until daylight the
rope was taken from its fin and it was
tied up in jute sack and let loose on the
deck. Soon after coming to anchor the
seal responded to it's mothers invitation
by casting itself overheard, all tied up as
it WAS in q sack. It is asserted by the
man on deck that the mother seized the
sack and with her sharp teeth tore open
the prison Of her offspring. This, how
ever, is a mere conjecture. If it did, the
little pup was saved; otherwise it would
drown tied up in the sack. The incl
dent was more interesting from the fact
that the old seal had to follow the sloop
at least eighty miles over the ocean in q
hopeful endeavor to rescue her young

THE PHANTOM HEARTH.

Cod swims the moonlight on the snow;
The black-lImbed naples stretch on high
Their ragged leaves against the sky,
And Tapping shadows fall below.
The twisted lilac, numb and bare.
Points upward to the frosty star,
And lonely church bells strike afar
The crystal clearness Of the air.
within, the hearth grows hot and red,
The jeweled flame upTears its crest
And lights the oaken rafters, drest
With FURNISHED laurel, overhead.
Amid the drift = beyond the pane
The glowing hearth reflected lies.
Frost.bound beneath the distant skies
That look down cOldly on the plain
The brssses elnting in the light.
The hnOtted wreath, the crimson chair
Still rocking slowly in the glare
Against the white and frozen night.
A. shifting sh adows. blue and thin,
Give back the swinging boughs above,
The picture mimics gazing move,
And, masked. they mock the shapes within
Their hearth is lit by empty blaze,
Their feast is swung III middle Lir;
without voice our song they share,
As phantoms Of the voiceless days.

Hiring Costly Jewels for Receptions and
Weddings.

"That was an expensive set Of jewel
ry," remarked reporter to the proprie-
tor of large Washington street store,
abiding to set of diamonds young
lady had just taken away with her.
SIT is the most expensive set we have
in the store" was the reply; "but she
has only hired them"
SIS that common thing in Boston,"
asked the newspaper man.
"Most certainly. Many of my best
customers hire set of jewelry for the
evening, and for q comparatively small
price excite the envy and jealousy of
their friends. I wonder you have not
gems and reset them to please our Gus
toners, and then rent them. OF people
whom we know we never require any
security, but stranger would, OF
course, have to deposit the full value OF
the gems. There are two Of our finest
sets at Swampscott now, where under
stand they have been much praised and
their temporary owners congratulated.

ton with this branch Of our business.

No. came in and asked significantly if
her diamonds had been cleaned. While
she was talking No. put the same ques-

was finally settled in favor OF No. l, the
young ladies pledging each other and me

Learning the Use Of Hand Tools.

Arguing in favor of making instruc-
ton in the use Of hand tools o part of
the public school course, Boston paper
takes the ground that preparation for
active life cannot be accomplished by
exclusive brain development. The hand
must he trained rs we'll. "How many of
our graduates can drive nail? How
many can split frewood in the easiest
way2 How many can saw, plane, bore,
glue or make box! Many of orr youth
in the schools to-day who seem to lose
their ordinary wits when book is placed
before them would become master work
men with tools if once given the oppor.
tunity OF their use; and even the most
studious scholars would rather gain than
lose with this power over inanimate
things which is won by the knowledge
of the use of tools. Beside the advan-
tage of manual skill it has been shown
by experience that intellectual train
ing is assisted by a carefully
arranged and systematic instruc-
ton in this branch Of industrial
science. Undue attention to purely
mental studies is diverted, the intelli-
gence is aroused, and healthful and
revivifying change is brought about by
active occupation. The testimony of
physicians has shown the advantage to
pupils, physically, in the use of tools"
All this is true, but it does not follow
that every public schoolhouse can
readily be enlarged to make room for u
workshop. Better results can be OBJ
tained-certainly at presently ennour-
aging the improvement of out Of school
hours, by means of working pastimes.
and by helping boys and girls to get
the tools they desire. A great deal
might be done in this direction by Civ
ing hand tools as prizes for diligence and
good behavior in school; or for the pro-
iuction of creditable bits of handiwork
during leisure hours. Practical men in
every school district could easily be got
to contribute the cost Of the tools SO
given as prizes, and having the tools the
young folks would not be slow in iud-
ing occasions for using them.-The

Old English Weddings.

rosemary and the wheat, exchange the
bridesmaids for flower crowned boys,
and the sugar mountain cake for the old
pile Of thin waters, over which, in full
view of the company, she gives her hus-
band her FIRST kiss, and which the IN
married may beg from her in exchange
for gifts of pansy, rose or myrtle. For
it is unfortunately as true of marriage as
of many other social celebrations, that
display and extravaganza are becoming
too much the fashion. Thus Christmas
trees, which were once pretty spectacles
only, with sweetmeats or fruit or the
merest trifes Of ribbons or flags for
children to gather when the tapers are
out, now bear costly presents for adults,
