She Was Sensible.

A gentleman passing through one of the blacksmith shops in town, a few days since, found an intelligent. looking lady seated in the center oi the shop working cluster of clover blossoms on a velvet ground. She wore peaceful smile, and seemed wholly unconscious of the terrible din that filled the building.
 "Doesn't the pounding disturb you7" inquired the gentleman, stoop- ing over the lady.
 "Oh, no," she replid, smilingly.
 "Do you enjoy itl"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Do you often come here ?"
 Regularly three times week"
 'I don't see what there IS about this establishment to attract a person that often," said the gentleman.
 "Well, you see, the physician says l must avoid anything that will affect my nerves; and, as at this hour, three days in week, my sister takes les son on the piano, l come here where it is comparatively quiet"

They Welcomed Him.

He arrived home from Prescott a day or two ago. He hadn't the least idea that his fellow citizens would turn out to welcome him, and his sur prise can the refore be imagined when he reached the depot to hear hurrah and to see thirty or forty different persons pressing forward to shake hands. , .,.s.
 "My dear fellow-townsmen, IT" he began as he removed his hat, but he suddenly restored it to his head and made rush for hone. They were all bill collectors and he wasn't loaded. -

"Dem Dose CnIiored Troops"

The Prescott Courier of the 10th instant says: Military posts in Arizona will very soon be occupied by black troops whose officers are white men. While our people do not entirely relish the change, the, will have to put up with it. In early times we had companies of Mexicans and found no trouble in getting along with them. They did good service against the Indians and spent their money rather freely. Later still, companies of Indians were organized by General Crook, and they rendered valuable assistance in helping to put down the common enemy. Blacks, we have heard, have not met with much success in fighting Indians. Be that as il may, Indians are now quiet, and should they ever again break out General Crook, should he remain here, would quickly quell them, even with black troops.

 "No, you are not, " sad the physi- clan, earnestly; "your pulse is over one hundred, and in less than two minutes you will be in cold sweat. You take my advice and go home. !"

The Late Unpleasantness at Springer.

A dispatch from Springer. N. M, dated March 18th, says: By order of
 President Cleveland, detachment of the Tenth infantry arrived this after
 noon and escorted to Las Vegas for safe-keeping the beselged officers, Lee,
 Kimberly and Hackenbaugh, slayers of tEe thvee desperadoes, Rogers,
 Curry and Red River Tom In their attack on the officers of the jail on Monday last. While many of the cowboy avengers left town, many re- mained determined to avenge the death of their comrades as soon as the officers made their appearance. Of this the latter were advised, hence the request of the governor for military escort out of town. On the arrival of tn, train the inhabitants hocked to the house-tops and the greatest excitement prevailed, as it was expected an attack would be made on the soldiers and an attempt made to hang the officers. No demon. stration was made, however, and the train arrived in Las Vegas without molestation. Curry is the desperado who killed Porter, the actor, some years ago at Marshall, Texas, while the latter was trying to shield some ladies from insult.

To the Editor of the Globe:
With reference to the trouble between thu
st. Paul City Railroad company and its en-
correspondents, said The idea of discriuli-
nation in favor Of Minneapolis men is ua
true. We would have all st. Paul1ncn if we
could get them. The employees discharged
were incompetent. OF the new men there
are more st. Paul men than Minneapolis
men, etc.
Now, as citizen of st. Paul, wish tC
show to our people that such is not the case,
AMI will endeavor to explain the manner in
which We have been treated by the city rail
rOaG company. First, as a matter OF fact.
nearly all the new men employed are Mime
apois men. We have in our city just now
some four thousand men out of employment,
and yet Mr.. Scott could only find two or
three. st. Paul men are not even competent
10 scrub few rabbit mules, consequently Ire
had TO send to Min neapolis for men. Sec
ond, as to inc0mpetency, Mr.. Scott cannot
be expected 10 decide, as he is by no means
an experienced railroad man, having been
only six months employed as clerk in the
street Gar Office in Minneapolis, and prior to
that was spOtter on the motor line. the late
foreman at the Oak street barn was among
the incompetent, yet 1t takes two Minneapo-
lis foremen to ill the position. So much for
Mr.. Scott's competency.
Is it not therefor too bad that because we
are citizens of ST. Paul that we should be
subjected TO such indignities at the hands o:
an already hostile company'
therefore beg to ask, has not the time ar
rived when our citizens SHOULD demand an
investigation as to those determinations on
the part of the city railroad companyl

and the still life aitrlctivrncss of that room
was great. These reception rooms were kept
open nearly all day Wednesday, the 4th.
While Mrs. Hayes presided over that room,
