THE KELLEY EPISODE.

It is not generally known that Mr. BaYard, IN
Secretary of State, is poet as wei
as q statesman and diploInatist. Accordingly IL th
report that he is tho author Of the following super
verses is confirmed, good deal OF surprise Is cor
tain to be expressed and the Department OF state
likely to be flooded with coDgratulatory dispatche
from all parts of the country:
THE INQUIRY.
Toll me, ye winged Winds
That round my pathway glido,
DO ye not know some Court
Where Kelley might abide
Some Kingdom quito eaete,
Some island Ger the sea,
Where no may rest his pate,
From further snubbing freef
wind from Italy does whisper low
But whisper most emphatcally 20, No
Tell me. thou mighty Deep,
Where csaseless bilows mount
Know'st thou some Greenland peak,
Some Afric's sunny fount
Where Kelley yet may find
Tho Office which he lacks,
Where those that rule decline
To show him but their backsf
Tho waves from Austria forget to flow
And take an affidavit reading " No I"
And ye, Cooks agents all,
Conducting foreign tours,
Who to the Earths far ends
The restless traveller lures,
Tell me. on all your maps
Is there not some position.
Where Kelley, after ALL
May safely plant Missionf
And all Cooks agencies In tones OF WOO
Remark unanimo and promptly Nor
Tell me, thou starry-eyed.
Thou Goddess known as TRUTH
Must Kelley stay ut homo
And hide his light forsoothI
Is thero no allen clime
That's smtten with his charms;
That's yearning for the time
That nnds him In its armsf
And Truth replies. her tones could not be cheeri
Replies with beaming smile. " BeHhy S'or'aT

A GENERATION AGO,

1t is beneficial for lis to pause one in a
while in the whirl and excitement of the
progressive age in which we live and go
back to the generations which have pre-
ceded u.s. and after taking prospect from
their standpoint, place it in comparison with
what is unfolded to us from our present out
look. In order that the people of Mime
sofa and the Northwest may have some idea
of the impressions made upon the minds of
visitors to this region generation ago the
GLOBE has hunted out from the records of
the State Historical society an address de-
liyered by the late Commodore MATHEW F.
MAURY at the laying of the corner stone of
the State Historical Society building in 1856,
which is published below. In the an
mails of science the name of no American
shines with more conspicuous luster than
that of Prof. MAURY, the great geographer
of the sea. He explored the bot
tom of the great deep. made a map
of its great channels, its volcanic upheavals
and its dangerous reefs. He marked the
undertaking currents which sweep over them
in obedience to physical laws, and pointed
out secure highways for the commerce and
travel of the human race. The achieve
ments of the practical discoyerer of useful
improvements alone are permanent. Every
thing else may pass away. but the discoy-

and consequently no alarm would be
sounded. And in the next place, there is
danger that he might make confederate OF
the servant in the house and have the
alarm turned off so that it would not sound
If the cord did snap. For reliability we
would prefer the old fashioned way of at
taching one end of string to door-knob
and fastening the other to the big toe of the
sleeping millionaire. In that case where
the jerk Is sufficient to break the cord it is
absolutely certain to awaken the slumberer.
And then, again, the housewife will OBJ
ject to the spider-web appearance of net
work Of cords radiating from the family
sleeping chamber to all the doors and win
dows in the building. And what is more
this improved burglar alarm doesn't pro-
vide against the danger of the burglar
coming down the chimney or Of
resorting to the old dodge of hid
Ing under the bed or secreting himself
in closets. We have taken the liberty in
replying to our correspondents request for
an opinion to point out the few objections
which might be urged against his invention.
We do not desire to discourage him. In
fact we are disposed to think he has struck
a useful idea. and we hope to see him fol-
low it until it is perfected. But our candid
judgment is that after all the only absolute
security against burglars is poverty. If you
have nothing worth stealing you will never
be disturbed by thieves.

the room and seated himself than he seems
to own the entire pr emises. MaZumani
who is the son of the old chief of the Chip
pewas, called the other day. He did not
take off his hat, but sat back in the
chair with the big black sloucil
chappeau on his head, while his
eyes rolled around complacently, and he
seemed to take no more particular interest
in the cathedral glass window and painting
of ex-governors, than does Gen. Jennison,
who has seen them every day since the
statehouse was built. Mazunani had a
medal. hanging on blue ribbon around his
neck, that one of the Decentralization
or Monroe-gave his father, and he allowed
people to look at it and handle it without
so much as grunt. Another
specimen of the red man that has visited
this Office several times, isIgnatius Hole-in-
the-Day. He is very inferior looking sort
of Indian; has low forehead and a mis-
shapen head. His face and neck are COW
cred with unsightly scrofulous scars. He
is great talker, and is very fond of inform
ing the governor and anybody else whose
ear he may get that he is the son of the big
chief, etc., etc. When he is obliged
to wait some time before he
can get audience with the governor
he rarely sits in the chairs but on the cor
ner of table, steam radiator, or win
dow sill. He has little of the bashful ele-
ment, and he makes life burden while he
stays. Fortunately for the affairs of state,
the Indian visitors are not so numerous as
others, and whenever they are made the
red man gets all due courtesy from the
governor and more, too. Some people
seem to regard the private Office OF
the governor in much the same light as a
newspaper Office. and whenever one of
these cranks invents patent car-coupler or
prepares plans for new style OF gate that
opens automatically, or invents an electric
apparatus to attach to railway cars that
will signal the engineer when wheel
Jumps a rail, then half hour must be
taken in celebrating these to the executive
eye and ear. 1t was but short time
ago that man who said he
had watch made in Geneva in 1876 or
some such date, that Napoleon Bonaparte
once tried to buy, was worn by some French
king, brought to this country and carried
by one of the presidents, had music-box
inside it that played anything from Hail
Columbia to the Marseillaise hymn, would
strike the hours, ETC., ETC., etc. 1t was
really strange watch, and the owner
elaborated it for half an hour, while a
couple of reporters were waiting to
ask the governor if he was going to call
an extra session. Then the man that has
raised turnip that weighs twenty-eight
pounds must call in and tell the governor
about it-of course he would be interested,

Died from Exposure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-A colored
woman this morning sought shelter at the
house of colored man near the eastern
boundary of the city. She bore in her arms
the body of a fve-year-old colored boy.
The woman had started from her sisters
house in Alexandria last evening to visit
her uncle in the same town. taking with her
the little boy, who was her nephew, as a
guide. She was country girl and strange
to the town. They went astray and dur
ing the night wandered through the country
from Alexandria to Washington, crossed
one of the Potom&e river bridges and
walked entirely across this city from west
to east. The woman had carried the child
in her arms for some hours and it had died
there without her knowledge. Coroner
Hartigan decided that death was caused by
exhaustion and exposure.

the owner thinks, as it is an evidence of
the bOundleSs resources and wonderful pro
ductiveness Of Minnesota soil. The same
is true of the man who has succeeded in
raising a Seeding apple that will
keep from November until April in this
cl mate if it is packed in two layers of saw
dust and kept near stove Of course the
governor is interested in this and would be
glad to know just what peculiar kind of
sawdust should be used.
And then there are the men who visit the
executive room to put in letters of recon-
mendation for some friend for some ap-
pointment. A casual survey of the office
ON such occasions will convince the most
thoughtless that Gen. Jennison knows his
business. 1.-THE governor is busy at pres
ent," he says. s. if you have something for
him you can leave it with me, and I'll see
that he gets it," A good many of the lat
ter class have been around since the close
of the last session. They are of all kinds,
and they want about everything; there has
been the young attorney, who wants for
himself OF his friend the appointment to the
second associate municipal judgeship in
Kittson county. and there have been men
who have been urging appointments of
railway commissioners and other high ap-

chance at the governor, but the latter has a
way of saying when he's got enough, so
that about any one can understand it. Then
there's another class who rarely come to
the capitol, or if they do nobody seems to
know it. They are the politicians
like Mr.. Kindred or some of
the others that are said to have the conf
dence of the governor as much as anybody
can. Nobody knows how these men are
treated except the immediate principals.
and, indeed, it has been questioned if they
do not run the chances of more favorable
hearing by taking the governor when it is
not Office hours. Any one who will visit
the rooms of the chief executive daily for a
month, note the callers and their interview
ing will see any and all and more of the
disturbers of his excellency's time. 1t is
not known that Gov Hubbard ever made
objection to any of these, but it's not strange
that the gas is often lighted in his room
until II o'clock at night, that the regular
affairs of state may be properly attended to.

A little woman sat in one of the ulg arm
chairs in the governors room at the capitol
the other day. her eyes looked straight down
at the floor and she did not seem to notice
if anyone came in or left the room; her face
was partly hidden behind big black
veil, and all her garb told that
she was a widow. Nobody spoke
to her; nobody seemed to notice he
and she sat there half an hour alone, al
though half dozen reporters and officials
were constantly passing her. At length
the door to Gov. Hubbard's private room
opened and Gen. Jennison, his secretary,
said to the little woman: ''Now you can
see the governor, madam" Then she got
up and went into the private room, but she
hardly looked up from the floor, and when
she did her face seemed very sad and care
worn. This was not her first visit to this
room nor the first time she had sat
in the chair waiting, looking
down at the floor and not
seeming to notice any one, or receiving
much attention from the officials who were
too busy to waste any time. Her boy is
down in the state prison at Saltwater, in

sentence out, and she comes to see if she
cannot get pardon for him. She tells a

B. Wilkins runs a boarding house at No.

pretty young lady named Jessie Porter,
who waits on the table. One day about
two weeks ago Mrs. Wilkins son Philip, a
youth about IS, who is employed as a clerk
at j. w. Colcards drug store, cam home,
and going up to Miss Jessie pAyfully
scratched her cheek slightly with a
vaccination point. A week later pimple
appeared. From this sore followed, and
in short time the ladys cheek was swollen

She is in a precarious condition. The
symptoms justify fear that the point was
charged with poison humanized virus.

A NEW BURGLAR ALARM.

A correspondent writing to the GLOBE
from Shell Lake, Wis. says that he
is the patentee of an improved burglar
and fire alarm, and asks us to give an
opinion on it. Our correspondent describes
his invention as being ''quite simple af-
fair, which can be put in a sleeping apart
ment and then run the thread on cord to
any room, window or door in the house,
and the very instant the thread is burned or
broken it will alarm the party in the COM
partment where the instrument is" The
GLOBE is always disposed to be accommo-
dating and is at all times ready
to impart information to its pat
rons. But we must confess that
in this instance we find ourselves
confronted with knotty problem. No
people in the world have occasion to give
so much attention to the subject of i'm
proved burglar alarms as newspaper men.
They are VIGOROUSLY wealthy class and
are subjected to no little perplexity in devils
ing ways and means to protect their vast ac-
cumulations from the hand of the despoiler.
The expense incurred by members Of
the editorial profession in employing bat
talions of police and detectives to guard
their storehouses of wealth is so great that
any suggestion concerning a less expensive
and more reliable method of protection
against thieves and burglars is al
ways received with delight. Thus it is
we have withheld an opinion in regard to
this new invention of our Shell Lake CORE
spondent until we had an opportunity to in
vestigate the matter and to look at it in all
its bearings. 1t is therefore wi tn humil-
lated feeling that we are impell ed to ac-
knowledge that we do not know anything
about its merits, and can give no opinion
which will be of practical value to the hum
dreds of newspaper men who are awaiting
our decision with trembling anxiety. In
the first place. as we have never been a
burglar, we cannot say how the improved
method of alarm will impress the craft
Whether it will bring to their terror
stricken minds visions of belching revolvers
and death shots falling thick and
fast, or whether they will look upon
it and laugh it to scorn, as another of the
many weak inventions of the Ornsuses to
foil them in their predatory invasions of
tno Halls VI wealth. dliu luxury We are I'M
able to say. But looking at it from the
standpoint of one who is in constant mortal
terror that he is to be robbed of his pile of
yellow ducats we are frank to say that, to
our minds at least, there is not enough of
the element of reliability about it to bring
sleep to the eyes or slumber to the eyelids.
In the first place, the gentle burglar might
do his work with SO much skill and so little
jerking that the cord would not be severed,
