It can truthfully be said, to the credit
of Miss Cleveland. that in all her journal
istic career she never wrote any of the
following editorials:
News items are scarce this week.
The Hon. Stun Gullion has our thanks
for public documents.
Our friend Absalom Wycoff laid an egg
on our table to-day that measured nine
and three-quarters inches in circum-
ference.
Will our friends please bear in mind
that it takes money to run printing
Office? We dislike to have to mention this
matter again, but some of our subscribers
are more than two years behind. The
sums are very small in themselves, but
in the aggregate they amount to great
deal to us.

They Traded Wives.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
There died near Woodville to-day an
old negro woman named Betsy GULL,
who had been sold since emancipation.
Living upon plantation in that neigh
borhood, not many years ago, we're two
negro men. Both had wives, but the
current of their domestic lives did not
run smoothly. They got together one
day and began discussing their relative
conditions, when they came to the con-
clusion that a swap OF wives might be
beneficial. This they did, the negro man
who exchanged for Betsy paying $40 and
an old jack-saw to boot. The two wives
changed their places of abode and lived
happily ever afterwards, both raising
large families. They died off one by one
until Betsy, the last of the four original
parties to the contract passed away.
There has been number OF such trades
in wives between negroes since the war.

Greene and the COmD0Sit0rS,

It is related of the late Colonel Greene,
of the Boston Post, that many years ago,
when his compositors struck for an adj
vance of ten cents per thousand, he
thought it was too much, and, deter
mined to maintain his opinion, he called
upon all the business and editorial de-
partments who could set type, and with
their aid undertook to get out the paper.
They worked until supper time, and then,
as the colonel took off his apron, he
stepped to the window and called to the
strikers, who were standing outside:
"Boys, you might as well come up and go
to work; it's worth all you ask"

Burns thinks he has about three hundred
bushels Of corn from this seasons crop,

Just when it was thought that tue rail-
road company had concluded to smile
upon our town there comes frown in
the form of an order that no tickets shall
be sold at our county seat depot for this
place to be used on the night west bound
train. It will Inconvenience many of our
people who have heretofore gone east on
the noon train and returned home at 10
P. M. The reason assigned by the COM
pany for their action is that Collyer is no
longer a regular watering station, and
therefore not stopping place.
At the close Of an interesting session
of Sunday school, Rev. J. Q. A. Weller
preached here last Sabbath, most of the
scholars remaining. After the close of the
exercises, he mentioned the call he had
received from Collyer to preach here reg

building Congregational church, toward
which he now had subscriptions to the
amount of $500, and which would be in

less than $500; and that reasonable
amount be paid toward his salary.

Well-GrOunded Convictions,

Most persons have opinions. Now
and then a person has convictions. A
man with an opinion is of small con-
sequence for or against cause about
which he has On opinion. A man with
a conviction is always a power in the di-
rection OF his conviction. As rule, the
men who have opinions are waiting to be
fed by men who have convictions. Com
monty one man with conviction can
lead, say from one hundred to five million,
men who merely have opinions. It's a
great thing to have well grounded con-
viction-on any subject; and it is COM
paratively a rare thing.

Wives SUPPLIED to Order.
Garden City kan. Irrigator.

Garden City (Kan.) Irrigator.
A somewhat unique excursion party
passed through Garden City this morn
ing en- route to Pasadena, California. The
party consisted of twenty girls who
are going to the coast ostensibly to work
in the hotels there, but in reality to re-en.
force the matrimonial markets. It was
thoroughly understood by the women
that they are to be supplied with hus-
bands, and they seemed perfectly willing
to run the risk Of the new responsibilities
they are about to incur. The eastern
markets are SO over stocked with mar
riageable girls that they are willing to
leave home and friends and run the risk
of getting a husband after their arrival
there, where women are in great demand
and are picked up by some wealthy young
ranchman almost as soon as they arrive.
The raDchmen and others seeking wives
pay a royalty to the agents bringing tho
girls out for the first pick after their ar
rival. The girls we're all young, good
looking and healthy, and will doubtless
make good wives.

SUBURB SIT. DENNIS.
A Portion of Dakota County TO be
Incorporated.

Incorporated.
There are some nine additions in Dakota
county adjacent to the city of ST. Paul
more or less settled upon. and the owners
of these and the owners of the adjacent
acre property, Messrs. George Wentworth,
William Thompson, Charles Faber, f. f.
Wilde, Joseph and John Hurley, E. II.
Wood. w. K. Dixon. have of late been
consulting about the best interests of their
properties in view of it being in Dakota
county. The board of supervisors of the
township of West st. Paul have no power
to improve streets, or build sidewalks under
the township organization laws of this
state, and the city of ST. Paul has no juris-
dlctiOn over this territory. and these par
ties have concluded to appeal to the legis-
iature at its next session for village or
city charter in order to surmount these
difficulties. The name of this suburb so
far as agreed upon by these parties is Sub
urb st. Dennis. The question of an
neXing this district to Ramsey county is
one that has to be decided by a majority
vote of both Ramsey and Dakota counties,
and until the population resid-
ing there is very much increased
Hastings will oppose cutting off any
more territory from Dakota county.
To provide improvements, schools and POI
lice regulations here it has been thought
best to incorporate. The ground for city
or Town hall has already been donated by
Mr.. George Wentworth. and brick school
house costing SIS, 600 is just completed, and
its dome may easily be seen from Bridge
square. The center of the district to be
Incorporated is traversed by Eaton and Oak
dale avenues. Another reason for this
move is that the Improvements soon to be
made by the Minnesota & Northwestern
Railroad company will make it necessary
for this district to have some sort of munich
pal authority for the enforcement of law
and order, as well as for the reasons before
stated. The prOperty-owners are all old
settlers, aud they think they know what
| they are about
