THINGS That Tell.

Enterprise and foresight, united with ap-
plication, are winning qualifications for sue
cess in business, as has been fairly illus
trated by Mr.. John Matheis, the proprietor Of
the Oldest and best known carpet house of st.
Paul. AS he has personal charge of his large
business, he hadn't time to go out with the
''jolly jobbers" and visit his customers in
the West, but he's putting in his time at
home in way all his customers will
appreciate. He is extending his Third street
store towards the Opera house, and in the
new part will add the finest lace room in the
country. He is also preparing to open his
Seventh street branch house in Knauft's new
block, where he has leased a double store,
which will be as finely stocked as his prin
cipal carpet house, and that's saying enough.
Matheis carries always a fine stock, and
besides his own constant attendance, has
the aid of well trained
corps of practical assistants, SO that
he can easily run two houses and RIM both
well. He is to be congratulated ON his sue
cess and is certainly one of the foremost of
the merchants who have built up the large
trade and commerce of st. Paul.

The Jobbers at Millbank.

Speclal Telegram 10 tne Glooel
MILBANK, D. 7. July 9.-The jobbers ar
rived at Milbank at 8 30 p. N. with the in
tenton of putting up for the night. Rock
cts, Roman candles and fireworks heralded
our approach as we marched in procession to
the hotel for for supper. After supper, the
Union, headed by the band, pro-
ceeded to Perkins hall where
j. W. Bell, attorney, delivered most elo-
quent address of welcome. President Finch
responded happily by a few well chosen re-
marks, introducing the popular speaker, Gen.
j. 81. Baker, who made long and interest
ing practical speech, which was applauded to
the echo. This gentleman was followed
by Mr.. D. w. Diggs in a
rousing speech on behalf Of
Dakota and its fair prospects. After the
closing speech G. W. Baird rendered the
dead shot march, and the Jobbers and citi
zepS dispersed to bed.

THE DELINQUENT T4x list.


The publication of the delinquent tax list
for this county has been so blunderingly per-
formed this year that no legal sales can be
made under it. This is greatly to be regret
ted, as the list is very large one-nearly
double that of last near. Attention need be
called to but one of the many errors, as this
one, by a decision of the supreme court,
vitiates the whole list. That is where the
dollars and cents in the tax column is separ-
ated by space only instead of a decimal
point or perpendicular line as required.
This mode of setting saves work for the
printer but is death to the validity of the
publication. This point was fully settled in
where the space was held to be insufficient
to express the amount of judgment. In the
above case the publication was declared in
valid because there was 'slNo line or decimal
mark separating the teco right hand figures IN
the column from the rest, as isWsua2y the case
This blunderis all the more exasperating
from the fact that the attention of county
auditors was called to this special case in a
circular from the state auditor issued only
few days ago, in which he cautions them to
guard against these errors in printing. Au-
ditor McCardy must have received copy of
this circular and wilfully disobeyed its in
structions, but then, who ever knew our
brilliant county auditor to receive instruc-
tons or advice from any one. He is a law
unto himself, and the State Auditors advice,
backed as it was by the opinions of the At
torney General and the decision of the Su-
preme Court was all lost on him. The tax
payers of Ramsey county, who pay their taxes,
will have to suffer all the same, as the large
amount of taxes remaining unpaid will re-
main so, just because no legal sale can be
made under this Jurisdiction.

CURRENT COMMENT,

THERE are in the United States more alleged
colleges than in all the rest of the world COM
bned, and these institutions are in the habit of
comforting honorary degrees upon gentlemen for
all sorts of reasons. There are plenty of
colleges" that are not of respectable average
high-school standard. There is no uniform
standard Of scholarship, and 80 far as the degrees
are concerned scholarship does not appear to be
an element to any considers. be extent. The
degrees are lavished upon men, because they are
politicians, because they hold office, or have
money and may make donation, and for almost
every reason under the sun, except learning.
In Massachusetts one in every eleven of the
Congregational clergy is doctor of Divinity"
in the Presbyterian denomination out of some
five thousand clergyman about one in eight has
been made sd D." Among the Episcopal ans the
rate is one in six. In one year $50 Doctors OF
Divinity were created and IS Doctors of Laws,
and in two years 428 honorary degrees were con
ferred. The whole affair is ridiculous, and
brings the educational establishments into con-
tempt.

intelligence, and tainted. Five weeks before she
had left her mother in good health, with every
prospect of living many years. When she was
brought to consciousness, she was suffering so
severely, that the ships surgeon recommended
that she discontinue her voyage, owing to her
mental excitement and desire for further news.
She was accordingly removed to a hotel in Liver
pool Two days after she received another dis
patch announcing her mothers DEATH and this
sad news brought on another attack of nervous
prostrstion, Subsequently Miss Thursby raj
lied, and at a latter date was enabled to re-
embark for New York.

Salmon P. Chase. At critical stage in the
convention, while a ballot was pending, and Lin
coin needed but few votes to nominate him, and
the excitement was intense, without consulting
anyone and with no authority from anybody,
cried out ~ change seven votes from Ohio from
Chase to Lincoln" That act nominated Lincoln.
stampede followed; there was whirlwind of
changing votes to Lincoln, and the work of the
convention was done. Chase was never reconciled
with Cartier, but Lincoln readily forgave him and
gave him life office. So the country lawyer be-
came city Judge. Cartier is now seventy -one
years of age, and has gone to Kansas for six
weeks, the first vacation he has taken during
his twenty-one years on the bench.
