DOWN AT THE DEPOT,
We're They ELOperS.

A wee bit of femininity alighted from
the morning train on the Royal Route
at the union depot yesterday, and accom-
panied by young man somewhat her Sc
nior in years, tripped lightly into the Ia
dies waiting room. Though small, she
was exceedingly nice, as one of the girls
employed in the depot dining room OBJ
served, and there was an air of romance
about her that was apparent, through a
travelling costume of silk and sables, she
was attired in. After remaining in the
waiting room a short time, both assembled
to the dining room and partook of hear
ty breakfast. During the meal both SEEM
ed nervous, and from the conversation that
passed between them it was thought they
were in constant expectation of seeing
someone whom neither desired to meet.
This apprehension seemed to be INDUCED
by the man rather than the lady, who
were objects of curious admiration to
those in the refectory at the time as she
endeavored to console him with
the oft repeated suggestion, "We're
married now, and what can pa do about
it?" Later in the day a gentleman who
had occupied an adjoining berth in the
sleeping car to that the strange couple
rested in, related that from what he had
heard them state, it was clear to his mind
they were clippers who had fled from Mich
igan to Wisconsin, where they were mar
ried, as in that state no license is required,
and were come hither to pass their honey
moon. After breakfast her escort paid
the scot from a wallet evidently plethoric
with cash, and the lady taking his arm,
both wendell their way up to Third street.
She was small in stature, what sailors
would call clipper built" elegantly
dressed, with a pair of magnificent sparks
depending from her tiny, shell shaped ear,
the only jewelry visible, save a diamond
engagement ring that was exposed to
view when. she drew off her exquisiteIy
fitting glove. Her husband was man of
about five and twenty, fashionably
habited, and seemingly nervous from fear
of that which he did not explain. He carried
gentleman's satchel in his hand, marked
with the following name and address:
"Mowry, Detroit" They could not be
found at any of the hotels, but none who
saw the picture of loneliness that rested
confdingly upon his arm as they passed
through the depot, will begrudge the hope
that her pathway through life may be fllsd
with happiness

The Spirit of the Times of the 29th, does
the state the benefit, and pays the GLOBE
the compliment, of publishing the list of
Minnesota trotting stations which it gave
the 10th ult., and says; "It is very credi-
table showing for such young breeding
state" The Times is correct, but the
GLOBE regrets, more for the sake of the
breeders interested than on its own &C.
as it should have been and would bave
but furnished US the verified data,
Since the publication of the list we have
learned of the whereabouts of at least a
dozen well trotting stations, but as
they are not registered, and their owners
do not appear to feel sufficient interest in
letting the merits of their stock be known
to forward US their breeding, ETC., they will
continue in the comparative obscurity in
which they have existed up to the present
time.
''Vigilant," who runs the "Post and Pad
dock" in the Spirit of the Times, under
date of the Oath inst, gives the following
item of local interest:
Mr.. Herbert King arrived last week at Erden-
helm, with the following mares, the property of
Colonel King, of Minneapolis. They will be
bred to Alarm and Reform:
Topsy, by Planet, dam by Boston.
Madeline, by Lightning Madeline, by Boston.
Adriana, by Binkhooie, dam by st. Adams.
Miss Malloy, by Pat Ma1loy, dam by Engi-
neer.
Kitty H., by Count d. Orsay-Fluke.
Florence Payne, by Blarney Stone, dam by
Australian.
Spray, by Buckden, dam by Mickey Free.
Topsy is in foal to Nicollet. They are we'll
bred lot, and in most cases should cross well
with the Erdenheim stations.
Col. j. Ham Davidson,of this city has just
received from Kentucky very fine COM
bination-gaited 4-year old filly-single
foots, gallops and trots under the saddle,
and trots in harness-for his own driving
and riding. She springs, on her sirs's
side, from quite famous breed of saddle
horses in Kentucky, being by King Will
liam, son of Washington Denmark, by
Gaines Denmark. On her dams side she
is trotting bred, being by Lookout, 1871,
by Bourbon Chief, 1888, by Mambrino
Chief, IL. She is dark bay with black
points, very heavy, and long name and
good tail, both black, 1873 hands, and
snowy either under the saddle or in har-
ness; in fact very handsome animal
The Colonel is to be congratulated.
At Midway the bay mare Zalia, by
Peacemaker, dam by American Star, has a
colt foal by Blackwood, Jr., that is mar
vel of beauty as we'll as curiosity. 1t is
we'll developed, very sprightly and active,
and is probably the smallest foal, the
produce of full sized horses, in the coun
try. The petite creature looks and acts
more like young fawn than the produce

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, May 5.-LittIe progress seems
to have been made towards adjusting the
grievances, which caused the bakers assis-
tants to go on strike. Last night thousand
of the strikers engaged in a riot of the
assembly rooms. Furniture was destroy
ed and windows broken. The rioters then
threw up barricade in the street to en-
able them to resist the police, who had been
summoned to quell the disturbance and
who had difficult time in subduing the
Infatuated mob. simultaneously with this
outbreak demonstration was made in an
other part of the city by four hundred more
strikers, who attacked the building occupi-
ed by the bakers association, the doors and
windows of which they broke. Both par
ties of rioters finally dispersed.
VIENNA, May 5-The meeting of King
Humbert of Italy, and the Emperor Fran
els Josehp, of Austria, which was to have

The Whisky Idiot.

"Men, when they are half or two
thirds full" writes bar-keeper, seem
to be possessed of the idea that they are
hugely amusing to the man behind the
bar. The long-suffering bar-keeper
sees nothing funny in drunken man.
1t is the old story to him, and if whisky
idiots could see the murder that is often
glazing in bar-keeper's soul, they
would go right home to their wives and
children. Let a sober man watch a
gang of men twenty minutes who have
drunk twenty or thirty glasses of whisky
during the day, and he would swear
that the insane asylum contained more
good sense. The bar-keeper dislikes to
be rude, and so tolerates a lot of drivel-
ing idiots until he is ready to tear out a
few handfuls of hair, give kick and a
gasp, and die with disgust.

w. I'll. Sails for Europe.

New YORK, May 5.-W. H. Vanderbilt
has sailed for Europe in the steamer Brit
tanic. He was accompanied by his son
George, and uncle, Capt. Jacob Wander
bilt, of Staten Island. @Mr. Vanderbilt in
tends to make only short stay in Eng
land on this visit, and will then return to
New York again in four weeks. He will,
however, spend the summer and part of the
fall in Europe, with several members of
his family, and will leave New York on his
second trip the latter part of June. He
said that his present trip was for pleasure,
and wished it distinctly understood that
there was nothing the matter of his health.
He said he had left his interests in his
railroad companies in good hands, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the roads will be
more carefully managed now than they
had been in the past. All the Vanderbilts,
sons, daughters and sons-in-law were pres
ent to see him off.

AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION.


Gathered from Reports Made by Farmers
to Secretary Young, of the State Board of
Immigration.
Reports from all the cultivated counties
of the state have been received. They in
dictate that only about S624 per cent. of
the wheat planting had been done on April
80. Farmers were combining to plant,
however, but the prospect now is that an
area equal only to SO per cent. of that of
1882 will be planted this year. Wet
weather and the condition of the unsown
ground tends to delay planting still longer
and Minnesota farmers understand that
late sown wheat is likely to encounter a
hot dry spell about the time is it matur-
ing. Hence, they will hardly persist in
sowing beyond few days longer at far
thest.
A still less percentage of oats were
sown up till May l, not more than 76
perIcent. of the proposed area; but with
this crop it is different and it will probably
continue to be seeded until the whole ex-
tent of land intended is put in. It is
believed that the acreage will be equal to
11613 per cent, THAT of 1882.
About 1913 per cent. of the land intended
for barley was sown up to the close of
April, and while it is doubtful whether the
full amount reported April 1, as set apart
for this crop will be sown, it is the gen
eral opinion of the correspondents that it
will, and that the acreage will exceed by
per cent. what it was last year.
The reports respecting rye are go
meager that an opinion can hardly be
\ i b. @bo Sc 4Io
ing. There is said to be a greater acreage of
winter rye sown than last year, and the
area of the two varieties will probably be
an increase of 1 or 2 per cent on the
acreage of last year.
Unless the season shall prove far less
propitious than there is any reason to sup
pose, the acreage of corn to be planted
will exceed that of 1882 by at least 10 per
cent. There is some expression of appre-
hension that seed fit for planting may not
be procurable, but this is confined to a
limited locality and is not general there
by any means.
1t seems to be the impression amongst
farmers that the numbers of acres devoted
to sorghum will also be increased, though
but slightly.
The backwardness of the season has af-
fected grasses, both wild and cultivated
unfavorably, and pastures and meadows are
from 10 to Is per cent. inferior to
what they were this time last year. Cattle
and stock of all kinds continue to be re-
ported in excellent condition, but dairying
and creameries are suffering somewhat on
| account of deficient pasturage.
The following notes by correspondents
may be of interest:
Anoka county-Prospect of fruits and
berries good; apples fair.
Big Stone Planting of forest tree, two
hundred groves in good condition.
Blue Earth-Plums and berries promis-
ing; cultivated groves in good condition;
about 125 of them.
Chippewa-Prospects for fruit and
berries fair.
Dodge-Cold weather does not appear
to have injured fruit trees and berries.
Fillmore-Good prospect for allVarieties
of fruit grown here.
Freeborn-Pastures very backward.

Trot Out Your KaoIin CLAW Bed.

Mr.. Babcock, agent for the New York
Terra Gotta Lumber company, is in rooms
on Jackson street, between Fourth and
Fifth, with specimens of this new compo-
sition of matter for building, roofing,
flooring and fire proof purposes. This
material, on which a patent was granted
G. G. Gilman, of Iowa, October, 1881, is
composed of kaolin clay, common in
almost every district in the world and pos
sessing no commercial value, and of saw
dust, most terribly common IN this section
of country. By different processes in
volving slight labor these materials are
compounded together By steam processes,
and are turned out in dressed plank form
one-half an inch to six inches in thickness
and twelve inches in width, which can be
be sawed into any shape for use desired
the intention of the New York company is to
establish a branch mandatory in ,Minneso-
ia, and very singularly, Mr.. Babcock found
IN few days search the very clay wanted
in st. Paul proper, though the particular
bed is not available, but it shows that there
is possibility of beds of this material in
the suburbs of the city, which may be
successfully worked, on lands on which the
works can also be constructed without in
curing too heavy expenditures. This
kaolin clay, of which a specimen can be
seen at this Office or at the rooms of the
commissioner of immigration at the
state house, was discovered in the excava
lions of the Fourth street sewer, and has
the appearance of CASTLE soap, though of
q dark, prayish color. In the interests of
the growth of manufacture in our city we
would ask the general public to make
a careful examination of Delays. in
lands owned by them in the st.
Paul suburbs. and whoever has such bed
of material with land to go with it, will
confer favor by reporting the fact at
once to Commissioner Youxg at the state
house. The; other material, sawdust, need
not be looked up, as that has national
reputation for righteousness up this way,
and it will be relief to find a consumer
for both here and at Minneapolis, while
the choked up river will say amen.

1t did not need the receipt of the tele-
gram in the GLOBE of Saturday morning,
giving the number and quality of the en-
tries for the Chicago July trotting meet
ing, to foretell the success of that meeting.
That was foretold by the past successes of
the association and the very liberal purses
offered, aggregating 100000. The pro-
gramlne includes seventeen classes, the
entries aggregating 276, ranging from
to 30 in different classes. Com. Kilt
sons Midway stable is represented
in the free-for-all pacing class with Little
Brown jug or Gem to select from as
starter; the 2:19 class with Fanny Wither-
spoon or Minnie R. to start, with Pilgrim
in the 800 class in field of 30 nominal
tons, and $3.50 and Won Arnim to choose
from in the 2:17 class. The 2:2l class, for
which either Silverton or Lady Rolfe, were
eligible has no representative from Midway.

with the way they are showing up. An
entry was made from the
stables, probably with Fanny With

ed. A good deal of surprise will undoubt-

the fact that Cllngstone was not named for

what transpired in his race at Boston last
