ARTISTIC BUTTER WORK.
The Exhibit of Butter Which Took First
Premium at New Orleans ON Exhi-
bitiOn in st. Paul.

Premium at New Orleans on Exhi-
bitiOn in st. Paul.
Just inside the .Wabasha street entrance
Of the state house the case of ornamental
butter made by Mrs NJ. ?. Kelly of Farming
ton, which took the first premium at New
Orleans and made every dairyman and
dairymaid in Minnesota proud, was placed
on exhibition yesterday, where it will remain
for several days, and to take a peep
at which every lover of the beauti-
full, who has the opportunity, should not fail.
Really this master work is of more interest
than the finest cunning of the artist or hand
work of the painter, while in the point of
carving and sculpture it cannot be matched.
The centerpiece is delicately wrought bas-
ket Of butter leaves, in which is deity ar
ranged dahlias in bloom, Gala lilies in var
ious stages of blossom, half-opened roses
as natural as nature itself with
the exception Of colors and
more than the peer of any trophy Of wax
work. In each corner of the case is
separate and distinct design in delicate leaf
baskets filled in turn with water lilies, straw
berries, cherries and bon-boDs, while by the
sides OF the center piece are floral design
and two ears of corn partly husked. The
case attracted great and admiriug attention
from the Legislators and visitors TO the state
house yesterday, and not a pair of eyes
rested upon the exhibit but their owners
mouths gave utterance to, sob, how

Rubenstein's Mother.

1t appears that Rubinstein, the pianist
who fears nothing in the concert room,
and snubs his audiences at any and all
times when he takes offonse at lack of
attention on the part of its members,
has one terror constantly In mind, the
criticism cf his mother.
A correspondent writes about this Pc
culiarity Of the great pianist as fol-
lows: "When, at any of his concerts in
the Russian capital, he happens to ply
a few wrong notes, being out of health
or temper, it is not his audience. or even
the crl,ics CT whom he stands in dread,
but the old lady in question (she is nearly
S0), who scolds him with a wealth of
hi. Nly-favored invective until he shakes
in his shoes. No matter who may be
present, she bullies him to her hearts
content, the while he stands speechless
before her, hanging his head like a
shame-stricken and repentant child

Putting 1t Politely.

Navigating a branch of the Congo
called the LACK river, Stanley and his
companions tried to open conversation
with the people of pleasant looking
village 4 f0w of the principal men ad'
yanced firmly to the DO of the river bank
and one spoke unhesitAtingly thus: "We
do not know who you are, or whence you
came, or whittier you go, or what is your
intent. If you come near enough to the
shore we will begin fighting. If you
wish to go on, so. If you wish to re-
turn the river is free, but touch not the
land" Was there ever such candor, so
beautifully and clearly expressed, or was
it the guides way Of speaking2 We re-
turned the way we came, our departure
being accompanied tv a shower of sticks,
.lods, stones, etc, which, however, did
not approach within 200 yards of our
steamer. 1t is probably in this way
these equatorial people express their
farewell!

The Effects OF GaIaeiiag.

creates only savage exultation itlt ho
Is losing, and no sentiment Of sympathy
or commiscration at his mL,fortune.
The pallid face, pinched mouth, Claring
eyes, despairing expression Of loser, X
noticed at all, excite ouly diabollcsl
delight over the prospect that his Ill luck
will add to the winnings Of the oth.rs,
Rarely in such meetings does one hear
pleasant converse. There u nothing
social in the developments. General
the conversation is ribald, often blas-
phemols, and frequently shocking in tie
extreme, as the players anat bsrIatlze
their own poor luck or ths fortune Ct
their on0oncnts. Each player becomes
a strivl.g byena, who aims to fasten
his fancs in the throat Of bis opponent,
and is at tLs moment as fierce, as saval-e.
as much beast of prey as the animal
which he resembles.
To tho confirmed gambler al evil Is
possible. His voracity speedily absorhs
and obliterntes his moral sense, and he
cares as little for the rs-hts Of others as
the wolf does for those of the lamb
which it holds in its grasp. stss3

for its own ultimate intercsts) and tho
