REV. J, L. sCUDDER, of the First Congrega-
tional Church of st. Paul. has made mself
very solid with the people of that city bv
preaching a sermon last Sunday in favor OF
tObugganng. His text was, make a 10 full
noise. Serve the Lord with gladness." In the
course of the sermon he said: 'rOboggauing
is cheap and democratic diversion. and any
one who can summon up the courage can take
a v WIZ himself. II stirs his blood up NIGHTLY
and makes every hair stand on end. By the
drawn his tob0ggan back again, he is II Il
warm and physically hilarious condition. He
feels his youth coming back to him again. and
is suddenly seized with desire to make some
kind of frlghtful noise. Thank Cod say,
for tOh0gganing, that drives dull care away.
God smiles uptn such scenes as these. and if
we are truly His children we can serve Him
as well by sitt,ng on a tobOggan rs by kneel-
ing upon ha-sOck. Then let us go on and
e jov u, both IN the name of health and the
name Of the Lord"

A BARoN's FLIGHT.
Another Titled Foreigner Leaves a
Number of Debts Behind.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

Number of Debts Behind.
From tie PHILADELPHIA Press
A slender, daTk-eomplexioned youth OF
20 years or thereabouts, calling himself
Baron Won libel, and presenting a card
bearing upon it an deliberately engraved
corOnet and an address in Berlin, applied
for board about eighteen months ago at
Mrs. lillian Taylor's, 1922 Walnut street.
Mrs. Taylor was not in the city at the
time, and her daughter, who had charge
of the house in her absence. was per-
suaded by the Baron's distinguished ap-
pearance and his flow of language, whicn
came with the most charming German
accent, TO break the rule which had hitn-
erto existed not 10 furnish board, bur
merely lodgings, and TO take the noble
youth into the family as one OF them.
From that time until about three weeks
ago the sO-called Baron lived at the Wal
nut street house. Miss Taylor provided
for his wants in the most sumptuOus style,
and nothing IN the way of choice vands
and rare wines was considered too good
for him. DE said that he had come u
America on account of a political scrape
az home, and desired to live quietly here
in Philadelphia. His story was thorou gh-
ly believed by the uususpecting lady and
her niece, who lived at the house,
and who, being pretty, received
many attentions from the young Ger
man Ia the shape OF bouquets and other
presents, nor did the fact that for eignteen
months he did not pay one cent on account
Ol his board do any tnlng more than raise
passing suspicion when he had lutte
thculty IN silaying. His flight, how
ever, on the eve OF a proposed visit TO Eu-
rome with Miss fuy or and the charming
niece, proved 10 them that he was not all
that ne claimed To be, and convinced them
that they mad been coolly and uncOnscion-
ably swindled.
AN EARLY FLIGHT.
He left about O'clock in the morning.
taking everything with him nut an empty
box and an Old trunk filed with rubbish
OF no value whatever. His bill here
announced TO something Ike $1,000, in adj
dlttOn TO which Miss Taylor had paid for
nm several large bills, volunteering him
her purse pending tue arrival ol a long
luOked-fOr remittance from Berlin,
Among other creditors whom
he left behind to mourn his de-
parture are: Frank Farrell, the tailor. of
South Thirteenth street, OF whom he pro-
cured numerous costly suits OF clothes.
and whose bill loots up between $500 and
$500; numerous hatters aud sboemakers
and gertlemen's furnisbers, and two or
three jewelers.. including J. f. Caldwell
a Co, to which firm he was indebted for
small amount. His total Indebtedness Is
estimated AZ something like $4,000, ana

makes provision for the payments OF

by series of bonds falling due semi

reach nearly S4,000,000. which, it is es-
timated, would amount to a sum great

the existing bonds would mature. The
bill was in this form reported to the
House.

The Cleveland Ray.

The encyclopedia of Live Stock says:
The Cleveland Bay has always been
held in the highest esteem for their
many valuable qualities. 1t is horse
that is now bred to degree of perfec-
ton that leaves littls to be desired in all
that goes to constitute size, style and
ability to perform any labor which may
be required, except the heaviest drudg-
cry. The Cleveland Bays are good
carriage horses, good and stout wagon
or pillow horses, and they match togeth-
er about as easily as Devon cattle, COM
bining, as they do, plenty of staunch,
thorough blood with excellent size and
constitutional vigor. Unfortunately
they are yet rare in the United States,
but since their introduction into the
West, they have been steadily growing
in favor. They are remarkable for
their pure bay color, dashed only at
the fetlocks and in the forehead with
white. The old-fashioned Cleveland
Bay of fifty years ago in England is ex-
tinct, but a better horse in every way
has been bred up from him.

Glen Haven.


The sick in our village are all on the
mend again. The health of the country
around us is generally good
The steamers are running freely
again, making it lively and pleasant at
this time of year.
Mrs. Dodge and her little daughter
took the down boat for her home at
Rock Island.
Owing to the warm weather we have
had, everything is beautifully green
along the river, it being something re-
markable for the month of April
We made quite shipment of rail
readers, to the number of fifty or more,
on the steamer Pittsburg for St Paul.
Also r. Humes and Mr.. Powers went
up the river with horses on the same
boat
The.frst of May will bring around
quite change of residences in our vii
lage. c. Register takes charge of the

building for saloon.
We are to have four saloons in our
little village, license having been taken
out by that many different persons.
There must be big money in it to tempt
men to run that kind of business in a
village like Glen Haven, where there is
no protection to be had
Mr.. Trayer, right-of-way man, gave
US call last Wednesday. His princi-
pal business was with Basford &
Humphrey in regard to raising the
bridge or grain runway into their ware
house. Everything was satisfactorily
arranged. He said that we need not be
surprised if we heard the steam whistle
by the first of July.
The Father of Waters is on the boom
with rise Of eight inches or more every

We had another landslide last week,
making it very evident that the whole
hillside will have to be removed to pre-
vent the continual sliding onto the

C., b. d N. have struck, / think. Con
tractors are finishing up their work
pretty well all along the line The next

and there is great deal of it to be
done; but with the large force of men
employed in that line of business the
road will soon be ready for track laying.

An AnglO-Maniac's Origin,

"What is the booking to New York;
inquired a young man with queer
shaped hat ON his head and drawl in
his voice, as he stood before the ticket
window depot of an eastern railroad in
Chicago.
Seventeen dollars" said the ticket
agent
"You mean-aw-three pound ten,
eh?"

thing about your three poun' ten.
TicketP'
"Y-a-a-s. you may book me. But
three poun' ten is too deuced much,
doncher know; too awfully much. Does
that include my luggage?'
He was informed that his baggage
would be carried, and started off to
look after it, with his one eye-glass
elevated toward the roof of the station
house.
THAT chap must be an Englishman, +"
remarked the ticket agent.
"Englishman, the devil" replied a
brakeman who CHANGED to be standing
by. II know that young goldfish. He
was born on a canal-boat down near
Joliet, and his dad got rich buying
hogs"

The Chicago Switchmen's Strike.

The strike of the switchmen on the
Lake Shore & Michigan Railroad, which
began week ago last Friday, has been
very long and obstinate, completely ar
resting freight business on that road.
On Tuesday the company brought in a
lot of new men from Eastern cities, but
committees of the strikers succeeded in
inducing the new men to attend Their
meetings, when they were all persuaded
to refuse to work. Gov. Oglesby adj
dressed the strikers Tuesday afternoon,
but without any effect.
Wednesday evening 100 more switch
men were brought on from the East
and the sheriff procured 200 deputies to
clear the tracks, but nothing was done
the next day. The engineers would
not run out their engines.
Friday afternoon, however, the strik-
ers and the railroad officials came tc
terms and business was immediately
resumed. The officials claim that they
made no concessions to the strikers bu
the latter claim that they had pledges
that the eight non-union men, about
whom the strike originated, would bt
removed

Some of the Milwaukee papers, in an
account of the reunion of the First
Wisconsin Cavalry, devote several col
umns to the speech of Col. La Grange,
which speech is nearly all devoted to
clarifying the ''shoulderstraps' of the
regiment, who did not "lead' the men
in fight, because, as every old soldier
knows, the place of the officers was
behind the line of battle, where they
could not strike blow nor fire shot

The duty of self-know ledge and self
culture along some one definite line
should be impressed on every young
person. 1t is not selfish; on the con-
trary, it is what makes it possible to be
of any real good to others. For when
any one is doing his own true work in
the best way he is always benefiting
his fellow-men, whether he is conscious
of it or not. Beyond this, however,
it is chiefly through the discipline of
this culture that we come to under
stand others and to know how to help
them. One who is vigorously bending
himself to his own life-duties is in a far
better position to give intelligent aid to
others in their struggles, than one who,
having no purposes, devotes himself to
forming or mending those of other peo-
ple- Exchange.
