After the party had been driven about the
city they were landed at the spacious man
sion of Hon. P. II. Kelly, on Dayton bluff
and were made so thoroughly at home by their
host that they felt as though they were old
residents of St. Paul. Mr. Kelly had in
vited a few citizens, such as could be seen in
the brief time allowed for making the
arrangement, to meet the distinguished
party, and pending their arrival dinner was
served, the guests having had no opportunity
for refreshment since midday. The

THURSDAYS THUGS.
How Justice Overlook and Punished
Them Yesterday.

'Pll see you in future,'' was the chirpy re-
mark of John Collins as the workhouse car
rage went round the bend yesterday morn
ing, and the crowd of spectators who had
watched the bus 60 out of sight, maryeled at
the young mans wonderful nerve.
Mr.. Collins came in from Red Wing few
days ago, and like most young men from the
country, he wanted to do the rounds and
paint the town red. Wednesday night he
boarded a great deal of bug juice and tried to
whip Officer Ives, which task, it is needless
to say, was not accomplished. When put in
to cell he vented his spleen by smashing
things. Judge Hall, who occupied the bench
yeterday, thought twenty days would do him
good and he went out.
Yesterday about noon there was a lively
scraping match out on Eleventh street. VIM.
Brown was engaged in saving
wood and he was piped off by
an aged man named Hiram Andrew. The
latter had a grudge against Brown, and not
being able to whip him himself, he employed
big duffer named Max McLain to do up the
job. Max is a fighting man and he went up
and tackled Brown as the latter sawed wood.
Brown had an axe in his hand, and there
would have been a lively picnic had not
Officer Getchell doomed up. Both Andrews
and McLain were arrested; the latter was
fined ten bills and the old man was dis
charged.
Mike Rimidi is a smart Aleck who carries
a gun and don't care whether school keeps or
not. Wednesday night he was booty and
flourished the gun and made play at officer
Fitzgerald, but the latter didn't bluff worth
cent and Mike was run in. Yesterday the
gun was taken from him and he gave bond
of $50 to keep the peace.
The case of John Smith. whose real name is
Brady, was continued until to-day. He is
the elegant dutfer who got boy
into celler in the Sixth ward
and threatened to do him up
unles he produced $40.
Chas. Drum and John Flynn, the two boys
who were accused of stealing newspapers,
entered plea Of guilty. They were SEN
fenced to the reform school and sentence
was suspended.

When the dinner was concluded Gen.
Gresham and Frank Hatten took positions in
one Of the parlors, and Mr. Kelly introduced
the visitors to the former and Dr.
Day to the latter. The reception was
brief and informal and was followed
by the party visiting the refreshment room,
conversing with Gen. Gresham, and other
members of the party and indulging in a
general congratulation over of the inaugra-
ton of fas mail from New York to st. Paul.
About 10 p. M, the visitors bid their host
and the distinguished guests good night.

Books Made Of Clay.

ar away beyond the plains of Mes
opotamia, on the banks of the river
Tigris, lie the ruins of the ancient city
of Nineveh. Not long since large
mounds of earth and stone marked the
place where the palaces and walls OF
the proud capital of the great Assyrian
Empire stood. The spade, first of the
F~renchman, then of the Englishman,
has cleared all the earth away and laid
bare all that remains of the old streets
and palaces where the Princes of As
syria walked and lived. Thegods they
worshiped and the books they read
have all been revealed to the sight of a
wondering world. The most curious
Of all the curious things preserved in
his wonderful manner are the clay
books of .Nineveh. The chief library
of Nineveh was contained in the palace
of Konyunjik. The clay books which
it contains are composed of sets of tab
let's covered with very small writing.
The tablets are oblong in shape, and
when several of them are used for one
book, the first line Of the tablet follow
ing was written at the end OF the one
preceding it. The writing on the tab
lets was, of course, done when the clay
was soft, and then it was baked to
harden it. Then each tablet, or book,
was numbered, and assigned to a place
in the library, with a corresponding
number, so that the librarian could
easily find it, just as our own librarians
of to-day number the books we read.
Among these books are to befound col
~lections of hymns Ito the gods), de-
| scriptions of animals, birds, stones and
vegetables, as well as history, travels,
etc. The Assyrians and Babylonians
were great students of astronomy. The
method of telling time by the sun, and
of marking it by an instrument called
a sun-dial was invented by the latter
nation. None of our modern clocks
and watches can be compared to the
sun-dial for accuracy. Indeed, we have
TO regulate our modern inventions by
the ancient Babylonian system.

There is q story extant of . man
whose barn badly needed q new roof,
but yet it went along from year to year
and from bad to worse, the rain pour
ing in during the summer and the snow
drifting in through the winter. And
when the tool was leaking badly in wei
weather this man consoled himself by
saying that no matter how bad it was
It could not be helped then and must
be put up with, and when the dry
weather came he was happy because
the roof then needed no repairs. Now,
this man was not q whit foolish
than many others who have wet fields.
upon which crops cannot be grown and
labor is wasted. When the weather is
dry these fields do not require to be
drained, and the owner is happy; when
the weather is wet it is impossible to
make the drains, and the man is con-
tented. There are thousands of such
cases where just now coarse, sour grass
and weeds may be cen usurping the
ground where good grass and clover
might be grown, and bare spots in the
grain fields where the wheat or rye was
Killed out and the grass-seeding failed.
And in some corn fields there are
patches unplowed or coarsely furrowed
but not planted because these spots
were zoe wet al blowing time.
Surely the two cases are very closely
analogous, and if one man is a fool the
other can scarcely be otherwise. Yet
such cases are exceeding common.
They are all due to the want of method
that prevails too much in our farm
rork. And draining is q work that re-
uires SO much accurate plan and
method as to fall under the head of
scientific work. The first thing to be.
done is to mark out the places requir-
ing TO be drained the very moment the
necessity is observed. A stake should
then be driven at the highest part of
the ground, and others in a line from
this to the outlet. In many cases one
drain will be sufficient, in others some
lateral drains will be needed. Where
the whole land is so wet that blowing
in the spring is delayed, or the soil is SO
filled UP with water through the winter
that the surface is heaved and broken
up by the ice crystals which are forced
through it, thorough drainage is re-
quired. There are some localities, as
in the level prairies of the West, where
the soil is greasy, sticky clay, or in the
East where, in dry weather. the clay
soil is cracked open with deep assures
by the shrinking of the ground. Such
cases as these need a perfect system of
thorough drainage which must include
a number of farms in it to secure the
best results through a common outlet.
But cases of this kind are rare and gen.
orally a partial drainage, which merely
carries off the surplus water from one
or more wet spots and prevents the
saturation of the soil, is sufficient. This
is not the season for doing the work,
but it is the time to prepare for it by lay.
ing out the plan and stalking the GROUND
and making every necessary arrange.
ment for beginning it as soon as thu
leisure of the fall season begins, anc
when the ground is in its dryest con
dition. For, as in shingling a barn, sc
in draining, the work must be done
when the weather is dry or it will never
be done at all.-N. T. Times.

she can tell o something Of nearly
every character named prominently
therein. Perhaps in this way lies her
salvation. Her eyes take in the printed
pages by sentences instead of words, it
seems, yet she remembers them, and
grasps the whole situation.
Mamma" said she, and her face
looked sweetlv solemn, ''do you know
the incest thing I have read to-dayp 1t
was about the baptism of Jesus. There
were the distant hills and the sparkling
river; then that lovely man, with his
kind face. But oh. that lovely white
dove, with the sun shining on his feeth-
ers, and the voice from Heaven. Do
you know what the voice said, MAN.
ma? It said, This is my beloved Son.
I guess if all those wicked men had
heard that voice, Jesus would not have
had such a hard time as he did. o,
mamma, I promised Tom to water the
horse at six, and the clock is just strik-
ing"
1t is only about two hours since I at
tempted to get her into some of her
pretty toggery-I am so proud of her
looks when l get her "ixed up"
Her complexion is weather-proof. IL
never TAM or freckles, and is of that
dainty fairness that is seldom e in
the families Of Woodworking people.
Her hands are plump, with dimpled
knuckles, and long, taper fingers. With
perfect health, she is as erect and grace
full as a young Venus. After bathing
her and kissing the sweet, white neck
and shoulders, I manage to keep her
quiet while I comb the long golden hair
which hangs in wavy masses to her
waist. But, while catching part of it
back in braids, and arranging the
dainty fringe which curls naturally
over her forehead, she began to get i'm
patient. s'Hurry up, mother" said
she, az can hear thatnew lamb bleating;
1 fear its mother is not going to own it
and I must get out there before it gets
chilled" 81 am nearly done, now dar-
ling" and 1 hurried upstairs to get a
fresh ruff for her neck. When I came
| down she was nowhere in sight. I went
to the window that looked toward the
barn, and then 1 caught a glimpse of
the heels of her rubber boots as they
| disappeared through hole in the fence,
on a short cut to the sheep shed. Sug-
gestions are now in order. Is it q
hopeless casep Need 1 say that I get no
sympathy from John in this peculiar
| state of affairs. While he owns that
she out-boys all the male children on
the farm he says she is worth her weight
in gold every year, from a financial
standpoint.-B. j. Me- lure, tn The Con-

In a Basel Ball Factory,

"The baseball manufacturing business
has had a rapid but prosperous growth"
said a manufacturer recently. at, is
confined to q few men, and probably
will not be encroached upon by specu-
lators. There are in the United States
to-day only eight factories of any inn
portance, and yet these are entirely
sufficient to supply all the base-balls
that are wanted in this country. Re-
Gently there has been sort of a boom
in the ball market. This is caused by
the adopting by clearinghouse
throughout the country of the custom
of giving to juvenile purchasers base
balls as presents. The balls are of diff
ferent grades and prices. The kind
that are given away are of course cheap
but quite durable. Perhaps you would
like to see how base-balls are made.
| Follow me and I will show you the
| whole process"
On the upper floor of the establish
ment sat several men with baskets of
dampened chamois and buckskin clip
| pings ut their sides. Before each work
man stood a stout piece of joist, in the
end of which was Inserted arnold, hem
spherical in shapts in which the balls
are formed. Taking a handful of cut
tingsn from the basket the workmen
pressed them together in his hands and
then worked about the mass afewyards
of strong wooden yarn. Placing the
embryo ball in the mold he pounds it
into shape with heavy fiat mallet, and
then wound on more yarn and gave the
ball another pounding, After testing
its weight on a pair of scales and its
diameter with a tape measure he threw
the ball into a basket and began anoth-
er. When the newly-made balls are
thoroughly dried they are carried to the
sewing-room on the floor below, where
they are to receive their covers. Forty
young women sat at tables sewing on
the covers of horse-hide. Grasping a
ball firmly in her left hand. with her
right hand one of the young women
thrust a three-cornered needle through
the thick pieces of the cover and drew
them firmly together. In less than ten
minutes her work was completed. A
smart girl can W. two or three dozen
of the best and eight dozen of the cheap
er grades of balls in a day. The wages
earned weekly range from seven to mime
dollars. The balls are afterward taken
to the packing-room, where the seams
are smoothed down and the proper
stamps are put on. The best balls are
made entirely of yarn and lndia-rubber.
