Il DELIGHTFULLY."- DULL DAY.

Such Was Yesterday in the Municipal
Court-The Bench and Bar Adjourn to
Participate in the bays Ceremonies.
Business in the municipal court was
light yesterday, as it also was in the de-
partments of trade and commerce tn st.
Paul. That such was the case, was not
only proper but gratifying. for it was a day
when the nation should take a rest from
the cares of life and devote its hours to
services in memory of those to whom near
twenty years ago light came breaking over
the walls of another world. 1t was a day
TO be observed in manner both fitting
and eloquent, from the pine clad hills of
Maine to the blue waters of the Pacific.
from the rock bound shoresIof Lake Super
LOT to the everglades of Florida. A day
upon which the deeds of those whose light
OF life was long since
quenched by the pitiless
deWs OF death, should be rehearsed in song
and story, and when all should unite to
tender them testimonials of grateful re-
membrance. So far as lack of business
IN the court could contribute to the per-
torrance of these duties the same were
performed. Their graves were strewn with
iowers-frail but lovely emblems of NOR
tally, that seem to be created for Joy and
gladness only; the language of priest and
laymen recounted their deeds of proves.
and prayers winged their way to heavens
chauncery, that the dead had not died in
vain, but passing through the inner pearlv
gates of paradise, had long since realized
the ripened fruitage of heroic souls.
Andrew Taylor was sick instead of
drunk. That's the way he sized it up to
the court. He also related that he had but
just come here from Dane county, Wis
consin, and was without money or occupa
ton, from which facts his impressions of
st. Paul, heretofore the result of hearsay,
were none of the best. The court gave him
20 days in the workhouse to sober off and
fined him $25 for getting into condition
that rendered SOLDERING off necessary.
Vespucio Ohtile, having abated the
nuisance on st, Peter street, he was
charged on Tuesday with fostering, was
dismissed upon payment of the costs.
John Hunt and James Monahan both in
sisted they were sober as Quakers on Tues
day afternoon. Officer DAILY disputed
their insistment, and stated that he found
them behind box in the back yard of
jackson street grocery. While not entirely
helpless, they swayed in a manner so fright
fully dangerous, in their efforts to stand
alone, that sheer sympathy for them
induced him to deliver both to the station
keeper at the city hall. To hear John and
James one would think them to be the
most prosecuted of an unfortunate class,
but their demurrers were dismissed and
each was fined $40 and COSTS
Henry Smith, charged by Henry Thur
Der with the larceny of q watch and chain,
pleaded not guilty. The prosecution testi-
fed that Tuesday morning Smith suddenly
disappeared from bed room occupied by
himself and accused, and with him silver
watch witness had received as a Christmas
gift from his girl. Smith was
heard of during Tuesday night
hawking a watch about Seventh street,
which, however, he failed to dispose of. In
his evidence defendant related story so
utterly thin that it was with difficulty he
could string it out. twas clear case to
the comprehension of the audience and
the court, and Smith was fined $50 and
given fifty days in the workhouse
