One night last winter, about 2o'clock in
the morning, the Due de Hardimont came
out OF the club with his neighbor, the Count
de Saulnes. He had just lost II few hundred
louis, and his head ached little. ''If you
don't mind, Andre,' he said to his compan-
Ion, ''we will walk home. l want It'll
fresh air."
"As you like, old fellow, though the pave
ment is very dirty They sent away their
hrouhams, turned up their coat collars, and
walked down toward the Madeaine. All at
once the duke struck the toe of his boot
against something and sent it rolling. 1t
1t was a large crust of bread, soiled with
mud. Then, to his establishment, M. de
Saulnes saw the Due de hardimont pick up
the crust, wipe it carefully with his coronet-
embroidered handkerchief, and lay it on
bench on the boulevard full in the light OF
gas-lamp.
"What are you doings'' asked the count
care you mad?'
"It is in remembrance of poor fellow
who once needed it," replied the duke, in
voice that trem bled little. ''Don't laugh,
died for me.''

To the Editor of the Globe
BISMARCK, OAK, Jan. 2S.-Perhaps it will
not be illtimed to make few political sug-
gestions upon Dakota and some of her old
timed Democrats-we mean those kind OF
Democrats that have not received their in
II Il rha
writer is an old newspaper correspondent,
and long since laid the blunted Faber aside,
nearly in the evening of Democracy. and had
not expected to again close these benumbed
and shapeless fingers in subservance to any
political, scientific or descriptive offerings.
But, as the political tide of Republicanism
GIBBS slowly away, the receding surf bares to
to view the clustering forms of q new born
sovereign. This power is no less remon-
stratiye then the one just preceding them.
1.-THE phraseology of these lines may
not be apparently comprehensive,
but they are nevertheless written
in the Democratic language. and their mean
ing can be found in the ''Jacksonian vocab-
ulary." The writer will not give any chance
reader to believe there are no true Demo-
Gratis in Dakota. We can mention, If you
please, dozens of them, but our attention is
called just now particularly to our old friend
and true Democrat, who has never f1inched
during all the painful days and hours of de-
feat, and his name is Capt. D. W. Marrata,
of Bismarck. A friend to every true Demo
crat, and one who is well known in every
part of the United States. This gentleman
is known by the present management of the
GLOBE, also the management that is to take
the leading Democratic journal of the north
west, in few weeks. His acquaintance in
Washington is with the Leading members of
congress- and should Dakota be allowed a
representative from the Democratic material
now in the territory, your correspondent has
it from the best authority that Mr.. Marrata Is
to be recognized. He has been in Dakota
since 1878, and his Democracy has never
been questioned. He has been to every
Democratic convention in the territory dur
ing these many years, and has done as much
as and one person TO help the organiza-
ton.
