EXPEDITIONS IN L4RRADoR

But little is known of Labrador, the ultima
thule of the American continent The com
piation of a few facts, therefore, in reference
to it may be of interest. Labrador stretches
far to the north of Newfoundland and is set
tied only by tribes of Indians, over whom
supervising government is exercised BY that
province. It is anticipated that Labrador
may ere long form part Of the Canadian
Dominion. It extends from Bloc Sablon to
Cape Chidley. Along the Straits of Belle Isle
the land is quite level, but north of the
straits the mountainous formations rise from
two to four thousand feet above the level of
the sea. The chief products are the cod. hal
ibut, herring, salmon, trout, seal. and fur
bearing animals. The coast is inhospitable.
Agriculture is almost impossible, and is at
tempted only to limited extent Some at
tempts at gardening develop the possibilities
of scant products of turnips, lettuce, beets,
potatoes, aud some other vegetables. Do
nestle animals, except dogs and goats, are
not kept. Dogs serve the purpose Of horses

Especial Correspondence OF the Globe
LANEsBoRo, Dec. 90. Our village council
has been doing good work in the last wear
headed By our worthy mayor, james Thonp-
son. Since they went into Office they began
the building of substantial water works. The
reservoir is completed, also the conducting
pipes laid down to the business part Of the
town, and everything about ready for the
attachment OF the hose in
case Of fire. A good fire de-
partment has already been organized
under constitution and bylaws, and ap-
proved Of by the village officials, and next
in order will come the hose carriage and
hose, then We can with freedom invite all
good settlers to come and build amongst us
With our water works and fire department we
will be able to do good service in protecting
life and property. There was also a mpany
organized last summer for the purpose OF
builling a cold storage, and it is already
completed and win compare favorably with
any city building.
Dir. Lovelaud has just put up good stone
house On the lot made vacant by the fire last
summer, and understand the other gentle
men will follow suit.
The mills are all running, and are turning
out first class four.
The merchants are just now reapiug their
reward of their industry by putting in the
fall good and well selected stock Of goods
to meet the demand Of this rich and well to
do farming community.
Any man who would wish good invest
mert in lively town he could not do better
than to build several houses for residences,
as there is not single vacant place in town.

THE GLOBE ANNUAL REYTEW

Every year since its existence the GLOBE
has issued, on the 31st of December, an an
nual review of the trade, growth and progress
of st. Paul for the year just closing. These re-
views have had feeble imitators but no rivals
and the only hampering has been the lack
of mechanical facilities to meet the popular
demand for extra copies of the publication.
During the past year the mechan-
ical facilities Of the GLOBE have
been made superior to those of any other,
paper west of Chicago, and a magnificent
new building, erected expressly for the
GLOBE, which will be occupied before this
publication, will make the GLOBE equipped
equal to any paper in the United States, and
at an expense only INDUCED in by the lead
ing and most thoroughly established journals
Of the country.
The great advancement of the GLOBE in
1884, which places it upon such magnii-
cent footing, is simply commensurate with
the great advancement of St. Paul, and an
effort will be made to furnish an annual re-
view of which every citizen can be proud.
The size Of the edition both in number of
copies printed and in the number of pages
used, depends entirely upon the de-
mands of the business public. The GLOBE
can meet any demands upon its space that
can be made, but in preparing for so great
an edition as is sure to be made, some time
must be allowed for arrangement, and those
who would secure choice locations for their
advertising announcements should apply
early. The first applicants can, of course,
have the choice, and the GLOBE trusts all of
its friends, which comprises the entire pub
lie, viii aim to be first in securing advertis
ing positions.

Especial Correspondence to the Globe.
RICE LAKE, Wis, Dec. 19.-Last evening
despite the inclemeucy, Opera halls seating
capacity was severely taxed by most appre-
eiative audience which had assembled to
witness the first Of series of dramatic rem
ditions for the winter by the Rice Lake Ora
matte club, which appeared in Fl. J. Byron's
modern comedy of sour Boys,n
with the laughabe farce, Box
and Cox. The entertainment was
a decided improvement on amateur stage
performances both in style of makeup and
modesty of appearance, each part being
equally well acted. The ladies' costumes
were elegant, while in the love making
scenes they exhibited what their Leap Year
privileges had made them proficient in, saet-
ing those parts superbly," and being well
supported by those who have been their preyfor
the past year. The scenery used was painted
by Mrs. Bone and Mrs. Heylman, members
Of the club, and showed how determined
these ladies are Of artistic success by devot-
ing several weeks lahOriously TO that task.
without any pecuniary compensation; the
dTOp-curtaiu being a summer sunrise scene
looking from our steamboat dock across the
narrows connecting Rice and Pequagamon
lakes, which added greatly to
the parlor-like appearance, which
should characterize all entertainments by
home talent. The timely arrival of Miss
Emily Num- from prolonged visit TO Bos-
ton added greatly to the entertainment in
her role as pianist. \ short sketch of this
club may not be inappropriate 1t was
formed two years ago as an amusement me-
bers, but as their entertainments were as
successful financially as entertainiugly it was
decided that the surplus 10 proceeds above
expenses be donated to the liquidation of a
small debt upon Grace Episcopal church,
which has nearly been accomplished, after
which we believe it their intention to proceed
eOrrespondingIy for other denominations
They viii appear next Monday eve at Chetek,
and at Cum berland New Years day.

ST. PATRICK'S PARISH.
Interesting Ceremonies at the Dedi-
catiOn-Sermon by Bishop
Ireland.

The interesting ceremonies attending the
dedication Of ST. Pairiek's new church and
parish took place at 1890 O'Clock yesterday
morning in the presence Of a large number
of citizens. The new and hancsbme church
edidce Of the parish, the boundaries and de-
scnptlbn OF which appeared in 4 previous
issue OF the GLOBE, Is located at the corner
Of Cass aud Mississippi streets, facing on the
latter thoroughfare, and the church and
parish IS in charge Of the Rev. d. A. Reilly,
who for the past six years has been the
able and eloquent assistant priest at the
cathedral.
The ceremony of defeating the church was
conducted by the RI Rev. Bishop Ireland,
who blessed the sacred edl6ce, assisted by
Rev. P. Danehy, as eeIebrant, Rev. J. Byrne,
deacon, and Rev. ID. A. Reilly as sub
deacon.
an eloquent sermon followed by Bishop
Ireland, who first congratulated the people
Of the parish on the accomplishment of 50
worthy and noble a work. lie also alluded TO
the active and untiriug labors of Father
Reilly, aud congratulated the latter on his
able services, which had borne such rich
fruit. Tie reverend speaker then
spoke OF the difficulties encountered
in bringing the work 10 pass, and
OF the urgent need of the new parish, re-
minding his hearers that oftenumes there
existed between their temporal and material
growth and advancement and their spir-
itual welfare, the closest intimacy, the rela-
ton being almost inseparable. Where there
existed a disregard OF church and school
duties the children grew up without religious
training aud families became demoraliZed
aRf scattered. II had been the aim and
work OF the reverend speaker to do all in his
power to see that the people were provided
with their own homes, for as they advanced
In worldly affairs they were better able
TO discharge the obligations they
owed their church aud religion.
He dwelt on the beauties Of faith aud relig-
ion, and expressed the hope aud desire that
the virtues Of faith and good morals would
always characterize ST. Pairick's parish. He
closed by assuring all present Of his deep in
trrrst In their welfare, and be admOnished
ihem 70 bold fast 70 their faith, to build ~
hcmes and support the schools.
After the celebration Of mass, all present
we're invited TO partake Of splendid lunch,
provided free OF charge by the ladies Of the
parish.

1T WIS REPUBLIC ans WHO WE'RE
DISaPPOINTED.

A number Of Republican papers have been
quite agitated during the past few days over
the alleged disappointment OF the Demo
Gratis who came to st. Paul last week to
attend a meeting called by the chairman Of
the Democratic state central committee.
From the Republican standpoint, they can
imagine no object for 4 Democratic gather
ing except 10 divide the loaves and fishes,
and consequently when they found that the
Democrats had met to consider Legitimate
business proposition, they were dumbfoun-
ded.
Our Republican friends should not be so
unduly agitated over the movements of the
Democracy. If they we're not shiTenng with
terror over their impending fate in being
turned out of Office, they would have known
that the chairman Of the Democratic
committee would not have called, and
the Democrats would not have attended,
such q meeting as they have depicted. II is
a gratuitous Republican insult to assume that
the Democrats would gather two or three
mouths before the incoming administration
to divide up the patronage of the state. The
Republicans can rest assured that they will
have TO go, and that their places viii DO filled
by stalwart Democrats, but the Democrats
do not propose to hold any town
meeting TO attend TO the business. They
will arrive in the promised land in due time,
but in altogether different manner than by
holding meetings 10 distribute things.

LONG LIFE.

Connecticut, the ancient nutmeg state, is
noted for hardy, tough and long lived pop
ulation. 1t present population is put at
about CSC, 900. In this number there are
more than 5000 over eighty years Of age.
Of the 5000 there are 65I who are more than
ninety years Of age, and 120 more than one
hundred years of age. Biographical sketches
are given of many of these centenarians.
The women predominant in this class Of the
population. Some OF them are inveterate
snuff takers, the men smoke or chew, and
many, both male and female, drink rum reg
ularly, If not TO excess. The fact
that snuff, tobacco and rum does not mil
itate against the longevity of the aged people
is notable fact. One good old dame has
taken snuff for over ninety years, another for
more than sixty years; and through long
life have been in the habit of taking drop"
and 'always felt better after it." No won
der Connecticut is Democratic state. The
people there do not grow old without the
benefit of experience. The older they grow
the more firm they are in the great vitaz-
ing and saving principles OF Democracy.
In November last Connecticut gave 81, 1879
votes for Cleveland, for Blaine 65, 1923, for St.
John 2,305, for Butler 1,6SS. Snuff takers,
tobacco smokers, and rum imbibers flourish
even among the wooden nutmegs. These cases
are exceptional. 1t is false logic to reason
from particulars to generals. IL will there
fore be useful TO adopt, relying on these ex-
amples, the habitual use of snuff and tobacco
with taste of rum for the stomach's sake as
a means of Drolonging human life.

ANOTHER BROOKLYN FIRE.
Ten Thousand Barrels of Burning Oil
Loose in the Streets-The Astral
Oil Works Consumed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-An explosion in
Pratt's Astral Oil works, in the eastern part
Of Brooklyn, called out the whole fire depart
ment of that city. The first explosion COM
mingled the fame from one oil tank with
the gases Of the second tank, and second
explosion followed almost Immediately.
These two explosions made free
10000 barrels of oil, and all this flaming
mass catching on" to the river of melted
snow was carried into every nook and cram
ME Of the works. The result was, al the
buildings and tanks at the works, excepting
a large brick building in which the canning
is done, were destroyed, besides long dock
on the creek. The loss will reach between
$500, GOO aue 5000, 900. The shock of the
two explosions broke the windows of all the
houses in the neighborhood, and sent the
people in terror flying into the street
The buildings of the Williamsburg Gas Light
company, on the opposite side of Twelfth street
shook so violently that some persons thought
they would fall. The building later was in
great danger from the spreading flames. The
get close enough to render the necessary
service. Chief Engineer Nevins and his as
sociates undertook TO cut of the fire from the
gas house as the flowing, blazing oil seemed
to be surging that way and were sue
cesstul. The very. noise of the
see,hing flames could be heard
blocks away. The tugbOats Brilliant, Day
light and Duval took up positions on the
river aud sent their heaviest streams into
the cauldrou of flame, but the wind veered
and carried the flames out at them and they
we're compelled to steam away. Then the
are had complete control of the river side,
aud was slowly eating its way toward First
street. Explosion followed explosion
and burning masses of oil were carried long
distances. Thousands of spectators gath
sered, standing in the slush of snow aud I'M
der heavy rain watching the coniagration.
Long trains from Manhattan beach were
crowded with excited lockers on. A dividing
wall had been erected in the yard to prevent
the lire from going beyond it
The great heat OF the flames
cracked the ''safety wall'' and
1t came down with crash. After that the
lire ragged through the entire premises. The
wind shifted, blowing landward aud the fire
boats now got to work again. At the same
time the firemen ashore were driven away,
one band so burriedly that they had to aban-
don their engine, which in lull Of the wind
aud subsistence of the flames they soon re-
covered. The IRE boats and flremen then
obtained the mastery and the flames were
brought under control.
