VIM They Laughed.
From the Detroit Post.

FROM the OeIrOiL FosI.
Having no previous knowledge of what
was to take place the pastor had arranged
his musical program for an ordinary even
ing service, and had instructed the chorister
to close the meeting With the hymn entitled,
sI'ye Found Friend" AS soon as the
newIy-wedded pair turned to leave the church
thegood pastor was amazed-notw thstanLi g
his instruction s-to hear the organist play
the overture Of the hymn agreed upon. and
the choir rise and sing as follows:
I've found friend, oh, such friend,
He loved me ere / knew him,
He drew me with the cords OF love,
And thus he bound me to him.
And round my heart still closer twine
Those ties which naugbt can sever,
For am his and he Is mine,
Forever and forever.
This was the first verse. Before the hymn
was finished the congregation was convulsed
with merriment, which was suppressed out
of regard for the time and place; but when
the last verse had been sung and the meet
ing dismissed the people could no longer
contain themselves. and smiles, in which
even the pastor Joined, were audible across
the church.

THE WORK OF REFo N BEGINS IN

Secretary LAMAR of the interior depart
meut has grasped the situation with a firm
hand. His first official act was to issue an
order in the following terse terms:

YAIUE OF SORGHUM SEED.

DR.. PETER COLLIER of the department of
agriculture at Washington says that sorghum
seed ground into meal or flour makes good
food for both man and beast. He says that
in great districts of India fully nine-tenths of
the inhabitants subsist on sorghum seed;
that in the immense territory known as
Turkestan sorghum is the chief cereal, be-
cause owing to the prevalent drought no
other grain can be grown; that in the north
ern part of China sorghum is grown exactly
as corn is here and used for the same pur-
poses; and that he has secured from China,
India and South Africa seventy-three varie
ties of sorghum seed which are entirely new
to this country, all Of them exten sivey
grown in their native soils and not one of
and forage. 'Indeed," he says, lit is prob
ably true that for the past thousand years the
seed of sorghum has furnished food in
greater abundance for man and beast than
have wheat and corn combined" He then
goes on to argue that the seed Of sorghum
grown in this country can easily be made to
pay the entire expense Of cultivation, leaving
the stalks to be crushed for sugar or syrup
and afterwards, in the pulp, to be used for
ensilage or for paper-making. 1t is so few
years since the seed of the cotton plant began
to be utilized that it need sur
prise no one to hear that the value of the
sorghum crop may be largely increased in
the same way. The nutritious quality of the
seed is well known, but farmers are not
generally aware of its availability as a grain,
nor do they comprehend how easily market
could be made for it, were it to be offered in
any quantity.

A BOX FULL OF KISSES.

indianapolis News: An Irish gentleman,
with that peculiar perspicuity of statement
characteristic of his race, says the chief plea
sure in kissing pretty girl is when she wont
let you.
Seymour CTexas) Cresset: ''Many young
lady who objects to being kissed under the
mistietoe has no objection to being kissed
under the rose" A careless compositor
made an error in the above, rendering it,
shas no objection to being kissed under the
nose"
Burlingto Hawkeye: Janey asks: "Why
does my lover always kiss me on one side OF
his MOUTH" We don't know much about
this kind of business, Janey; maybe he uses
the other side Of bis mouth for the other girl
There Is nothing like keeping good edge on
and having things even.
Waterbury American: Boston woman

to be a model Of kissing regularity The ir-
regular, unexpected kisses, uDaccounted and

4 REPUBLICAN, 1RTOUM CAP
TURED BY 4 DEMOCRATIC BAT
TiIION.

Cheering Democratic news comes from
Alexandria, the home of Congressman Mel
son. At the borough election held on last
Tuesday the Democrats elected the two coun-
cilmen and recorder, giving them majority
vote in council. The significance of this re-
suit is in the value of party organization. 1t
is the first time the Democratic party ever
put forth local ticket in that community
II has always been a stronghold of Republi-
csnism, being the home of Mr.. NELSON, the
member OF congress from that district, the
Republican secretary of state and a Republi-
can state senator; and Democrats have here
tofore regarded their cause so hopeless in
that locality that they have never attempted
an organization until now. The result Of
their efforts ought TO encourage them TO go
forward in the good work. Organization Is
essential TO political success. The GLOBE
extends its congratulations to our North
Minuesots Democrats who are making such
an excellent showing.

road, to attend the annual meeting of the
officers of the First regiment.
John Kitty, ST., was on yesterday certified
as having been elected as justice of the peace
for Saltwater town. The reports are coming
in slowly, the roads being in an almost i'm
passabe condition.

Walters, made things lively after getting to
that city, as they did not arrive until mid
night and had to put up at hotel. George
says the atmosphere smelt blue.

are making special advancement, and, no
doubt, the picked men who drill the evening
OF the 18th of March at the dance which is to
be given by the company at the armory will
show to the very best advantage.
Rev. A. D. Roe, who has a nursery near
Twin Lakes, few miles from this city, was
taken suddenly Ill on Monday last, while in

The intention to place some fountains of
good drinking. water on the streets cannot
but meet the appreciation of every citizen,
as during the summer the water that is sup
piled by the water works is unfit for human
use. 1t is good to see that the great abund-
ance OF spring water is to be utilized. as no
city in the state has better water than that
which comes from her sandstone substrata.
All credit to Supt. Harrison and Aid. Covell
for what they are doing.
In the town of Grant the election on Tues
day passed off quietly. Some parties have
been trying for sometime to start saloon

brought up at the polls, when the people en-
phatically put veto on it by vote of 70 to Z.

THE MARKETS.

The war rumors were effective yesterday on
the stock market, and everything had bullish
aspect, the idea being that European war will
create an active market for all American pro-
ducts, which will increase the earnings of the
railroads. The market opened weak, at frac-
tional decline Of an 1S@A per cent, but the de-
cline was soon checked, after which it became
firm and strong. There are many who look for
general boom. Lackawanna, Lake Shore, North
western, New York Central and st. Paul were
the principal stocks dealt in, with st. Paul in
the lead The wheat market was stronger all
around Chicago advanced 235c over the close
of the preceding day, and St, Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth all felt the effect of the change.
More wheat was bought in st. Paul yesterday
than has been bought here for three months.

Gov. IRELAND is charged with being too
previous in his proclamation in regard to the
in Texas. 1t is alleged that the authority of
the state has not been openly dehed and that
he has no right to interfere until such de
fauce hsa been asserted. The fact remains,
however, that no trains are allowedt 10 be moved
except the mails. Even the elements have
arrayed themselves against the constituted
authorities of the state. Aeyclone jumped
onto a freight near Van Alstyne, Tex, with
both feet, so to speak, aud knocked it out in
one round. Nobody, not even the elements,
seems to respect the authority of the state OF
Texas.

TIE bold and brazen attempt of the late
has been defeated by an order from Secretary
of State BAYARD, promulgated on yesterday
providing that all treaties shall be withdrawn
from further consideration by the senate.
There was danger that measures of this kind
would be rushed through without mature
consideration and our commerce suffer in
consequence of this hasty action. The
Spanish and other leading treaties have such
far-reaching effects on our commercial re-
lations that they should be carefully con-
sidered before being adopted by the senate.

The latest English rumor is that GLAD
STONE is going crazy. In support of this is
cited his eccentric conduct in going around
to bookstores and buying all the secondhand
books he can find. He also went into shop
last week and bought 100 plug hats. There
is no evidence OF insanity in either of these
actions, for 1t is not an uncommon thing
with people to have a mania for secondhand
stuff, and II hat buying was feature of in
sanity, the lunatic asylums in America would
be filed with Republicans who lost bets on
the late presidential election.
