Blossville is the French country seat of a duke whose duchess is none other than an American. He is a Dutchman, but the duchess, whose third husband he is, has two sons and two daughters of between 16 and 22. She is about 45 years of age, but looks superfcially younger. dresses magnifeently and has the handsomest equipage in the neighborhood. When the duke came to take possession of Blossville his advent was her aided by the arrival of twenty superb horses A grand piano was also sent from Paris It was so long on the way that he waxed wroth, and, to show his naughty indignation, re- fused to remove his S1 1000 instrument from the station, preferring to present it to the railway company. ffSuch indifference to money is truly ducal," says correspondent, "and one receives rather shock in learning that the husband of our American duchess was formerly an opera singer, and his ducal title not a birthright, but one bought with filthy lucre. He bears an Italian title. Ital- ian titles are the cheapest in the market and the price of that Italian title came from American sewing machines. Madame la Duchesse is the daughter of the late L M. Singer"

what to Teach Girls.

lrroni d oerIIlon py Mgr Capell
 Give your daughters thorough education. Teach them to cook and prepare the food of the household. Teach them to wash, to iron, to darn stockings, to sew on buttons, to make their own dresses. Teach them to make bread, and that good kitchen lessens the doctors account. Teach them that he only lays up money whose expenses are less than his income, and that all grow poor who have to spend more than they receive. Teach them that a calico dress paid for fits better than a silken one unpaid for. Teach them that full, healthy face displays greater lus- tre than fifty consumptive beauties. Teach them to purchase and to see that the account

corresponds with the purchase. Teach them that good common sense, self trust, self help and industry. Teach them that an honest mechanic in his working-dre is better ob- iect of esteem than a dozen naughty, finely dressed idlers. Teach them gardening and the pleasures of nature. Teach them, if you can afford it, music, painting, &c., but con slider them as secondary objects only. Teach them that @ walk is more salutary than @ ride in a carriage. Teach them to reject with disdain all appearances, and to use only stYes'' or FNo'' in good earnest.

 Concerning the biennial sessions matter the Hartford Telegram says: It must be ad-
 mitted that in the States where the biennial plan has been tried there has been no de-
 mand for return to the old system. No particular evils have followed, while the tax payers have been saved a considerable ex- Pense. The question was so thoroughly dis cussed in Connecticut when the issue was presented before that there are no new argu- l naents to offer. It is sufficient to call the at tention of the voters to the subject and ap- peal to them to record their honest convic-
 lions without prejudice.
 The difference between wages in Great
 Britain and in the United States is not con fined to the great manufacturing industries
 A comparison of wages paid in the shipyards l on the Clyde and on the Delaware shows that 1 on the Clyde foremen receive only $1O a week; on the Delaware, $30a week; on the ! Clyde, pIaters receive $7. 50; on the Delaware
 SIS; filters, on tbe Clyde, s7.50; on the Del | aware, $15; riveters, on the Clyde, $5; on the Delaware, S12; ship-smiths, on the Clyde, $5; on the Delaware, SIS; painters, on the l Clyde, $5; on the Delaware, s15; and so on l through the list.
 l Photography is now turned to new uses in Paris courts in cases of alleged adulteration i of pepper, farina, and other articles of com merce. Hitherto the evidence of experts 1 who have examined such commodities with the microscope has been accepted as conclu- l sive, but the new system introduced by the
 chemists of the municipal laboratory has
 changed the measure of procedure. They now conduct their analysis of minute samples
 of commodities under strong light, which permits the use of photographic microscope. The photograph thus taken is sufficiently large
 to be easily inspected by the court, and thus | the judges are able to verify the investiga \ tions, and also give to the prisoner the bene- ] fit of any mistake which may be discovered | in the expert testimony.
 For some time past the board of charities ! and correction of Brooklyn have been dis ! cussing the subject of cremation in relation | to the paupers who are buried at tho expense of the county. The death-rate among the paupers is about one hundred a month, and the board feel that sanitary precautions make
 it necessary that some new measure should be adopted for the disposal of the bodies l The expense for collins is about $3, 900 a l year, and the establishment of crematory I would cost about $5, 900. The contract with Undertaken Foran, who has been accused of burying bodies in soap and cedfish boxes, does not expire until August next. Although the subject has not been brought up officially before the board, it is thought probable that Brooklyn paupers' bodies will yet be burned.

and the thief is in custody.
s. II. Madison, the millionaire. is an en-
thusiastic Republican. He made bluff at
R. P. Huntington. Mr.. Huntington quietly
walked to his safe and took out $500 and
then made this proposition: sI will wager
800 that New York will go Democratic, 800
that Indiana viii go Democratic, and 500
that Cleveland will be elected. Madison
backed out, and hadn't word to say.
Charles Anderson is the name OF the wretch
who attempted to commit nameless felony
with small boy named James Morris, and
because the boy refused to submit to the
outrage threatened to cut the boys throat
with razor. Anderson was arraigned be-
fore Judge Bailey yesterday upon the charge
of assault with dangerous weapon, and the
case will go directly before the grand jury.
F. j. Dormar has an unknown whom he
will match against any amateur in the state,
in a collar anG elbow or Greco-Roman
wrestling match. The unknown is under
eighteen years of age and weighs 135 pounds.
match with an east side amateur has been
partially arranged, and meanwhile if any
other amateur is DESTROYS of entering the
ring they are requested to notify the GLOBE.
On the first of October G. II. Shaduck was
arrested for drunkenness. In the lookup he
attempted to commit suicide by hanging
himself with handkerchief and a necktie.
Yesterday he was arrested again and he en-
acted the same tragedy, but Jailor Bross dis
covered him in time to cut him down before
asphyxiation had occurred. Both the hand
kerchief and necktie are identical. Shaduck
is suffering from mental alteration and is
now in straight Jacket.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe

Especial Correspondence of the Globel
WlNoNA, Oct. 21.-On a recent evening
about thirty of the grand old party gathered
at the Court House hall to listen to Hon. Mr.,
Goodrich, of Blue Earth City. Rather thin
attendance for strong Republican county.
This county should be treated to bottle of
Jim Blaine's magnetism.
Mr.. Eugene II. Strunk, who passed away
on Tuesday evening, at this place, was a
bright, intelligent young man, and had nu-
merous friends in this community. He,
with his cousin, came to this place a little
over one year ago, from Lake Crystal. They
opened lumber yard here, and by strict
attention to business and square and up
right dealing, had built up lucrative bust
ness. Eugene will be sadly missed by the
people here, and his parents and friends
have the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew
him. His father and mother were with
him to the end. The order of United Work
men, of which he was a member, assembled
on the 18th and bore his remains to the de-
pot, and some of the Workmen, with the
remains in charge, accompanied the parents
to their home at Lake Crystal where Eugene
will be resigned to his list resting place. He
passed away like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams.
Quite number of new buildings are be-
ing erected in our village this fall, and the
sound of the carpenters hammer is heard
early and late. Work is plenty with good
wages. The fax trade is lively and our mer-
chants are all doing good business, and
with our excellent fax and corn crop and
high prices of cattle and hogs, our farmers
are in easy circumstances, paying off old
time debts and improving their houses; and
with our fast increasing churches and school
houses and county buildings sufficient for
the times, erected and payed for; county out
of debt, money enough in the treasury for
all current expenses for the ensuing year,
we feel proud of Cottonwood county yet,
And would invite those seeking permanent
homes in prosperous community, to give
us call and be convinced that there is no
better country west of the Mississippi than
southwestern Minnesota.
Politics quiet; no opposition to the Re-
publican county ticket except for county
treasurer.
Weather cool and prospect of storm.
