Frost.

The first frost of the season made its
silvery and hoar presence this morn
ing. The noriher which blew all day
yesterday got colder toward the mid
die of the afternoon and kept on get
ting colder. until toward o'clock the
wind lay and the cold remained quite
intense for so early in the cold season.
The sky was clear and the stars shin
ing bright and scintllant, but Astarte
was away shining on other peoples.
The consequence Of all this was that a
blighting frost came stealing on us
during the morning, and in shady
places it remained until after O'Clock
this morning. Whether heavy enough
to hurt cotton it is hardly time to tell
yet. That 1t has hurt lighter vegeta-
ton there is no question, and we may
make up our minds that we will be
short of most of the vegetables from
this on. And the beautiful flowers
and trailing vines will leave us, too,
and as Bryant says, indeed, 1.-The mel
ancholy days have come. the saddest OF
the year"

There are no fewer than 2067 archi-
tects and 1173 surveyors in London,
while of builders there are 1888. The
total aggregate of all the various
classes of traders who are engaged in
the CONSTITUTIONAL art is little in ex-
cess of 1875 900, and if the entire king
dom be taken into account, there is an
estimated total of 6SS, ,1l4.

Following is the result of the trial OF
one OF the municipal officers of Pensacola.
alluded to in the News day or two ago:
We, the Commissioners tor the provincial
municipality OF Pensacola, sitting as a
court to investigate the charges preferred
against President W. H. Hutchinson, do
md that the said charges are sustained
by the laws governing the officers OF this
municipality, and the evidence OF wit
nesses who appeared and testified under
oath before this court. But in view of
the allegation OF President Hutchinson,
that the neglect of DUTY which we
find exhibited; was the result of a mis-
conception by him of his legal powers
aud duties; therefore be it resolved, That
he be eXonerated from the imputatiOn OF
Intentional neglect Of official duty, as set
forth in the charges against him, and
that no further action be aiken by this
board in the premises. Signed A. l..
Avery, John Burns, F. c. Brent.

the animal out on dress parade, with a
rope about fifteen feet long attached, and
when near the hotel some one suggested
that he tie the rope to a key and learn the
animal to pull. The idea was suggestive
of good results, and the rope was Sc
curely tied around the keg. One swift
glance was suffi cient and the situation
was taken in by the bull, who hurrledly
lett the scene Tor more congenlal cline.
The run made was a creditable one, sur
passing all previous records. Main street
was lively for a while, and the horse
racks presented a scene similar to the dis
PLAY in front of a harnessmaEer's estab-
lishment. The damage to hacks, buggles,
etc, is not yet definitely known, as all
the returns are not in. Billy quit the field
almost as abruptly as the bull, but by
circultOus route for home,
A serious difficulty occurred at Dallas
Tuesday night, about 10 O'Clock, in which
John Allen, a citizen OF the place, was
stabbed twelve or thirteen times, five OF
which we're fatal. and from which be died
Wednesday morning about 10 O'Clock.
Allen went 10 Atlanta Tuesday and re-
turned on the evening train under the in
fiuence Of whisky. Some time afterwards
he met a man named Whitlock, and
struck him on the head with a stick.
Whitlock was carried home. A friend Of
his, j. n. Dill, went after DR..
Foster, and on his way met Allen.
A difficulty arose with Allen and some
one, supposed to be Dill and his son.
Loud talking was heard between them,
after which licks were plainly heard,
when Dill and his son hurried past the
Spinks house. Mr.. Aliens son immedi-
ately went up to where his father was,
and found him cut all over. Drs. Foster,
Connolly and Robertson were sent for,
and rendered all the aid in their power.
Allen leaves a wife and four children.
Dill and mis- son, boy about 10 or 1G
years old, who it is supposed did the cut
ting, left town Tuesday night, and have
not yet been arrested.

THE WEED IN CONGRESS

Promiscuous squirting of tobacco juice. if
not an inherent right of the American citi-
zen, has become so fixed as national habit
that any attempt to restrict it is quickly re-
scented as an insult to the nation. \ forcible
Illustration of the senSitiveneSs of the
American people respecting this right was
presented in the national congress yester-
day. A committee had the temerity to
suggest to the house that the members con
fine their expectations to the cuSpdores
which the bounty of the greatest govern
ment on earth has provided for their use
instead of squirting the nicotinous fluid
into the holes Of the ventilating registers.
This suggestion was a piece of i'm
pertinence that the average American con-
gresham could not tolerate. Squirt
ing tobacco juice is not only
the principal occupation of the American
statesman, but it is something at which he
late BLUE JEANS WILLIAMS. of Indiana
that while a member of congress he could.
by throwing his head back, eject a stream
of tobacco Spittie with so much accuracy
that he would hit fly on the ceiling of the
hall of the house of representatives nine
times out of ten. The great boast of the
people of Illinois is that their favOrite SEN
ator. JOHN \. LOGAN, can squirt tobacco
juice into a ullS-eye at the distance of ten
rods, the best three ont of five. all day long.
In fact SO skiliful has Gen. LOGAN become
in this practice that he uses it as means
of attack and defense in the place of swords
and pistols. Having acquired all this skill
in their fav0rite amusement of squirting to-
bacco juice, the members Of the national
congress were not to be insulted by being
called upon to consider resolution to re-
strict them in their liberties of planting
their nicotine where it will do the most
good, so they promptly referred the whole
subject to the civil service commission.

LAND AND LABOR.

The sure enough LABOR organizations do
not seem to take kindly to the proposed So
call ed labor convention to be held in Gin
cinnati on the 22d of next February. The
Cincinnati convention was called for the
expressed purpose of unlfying the labor
organizations into one great political party
with view of entering the next national
contest on a labor platform with labor can
didateS. The call was signed by a number
of persons who were Immediately recOg-
niZed as played OUT politicians, men who
had drifted from one political party to an
other, and the most of them constituting
the fag end of the misspent Greenback
party. The GLOBE predicted at the time
the call was issued that the sure enough
labor organizations would refuse to re-
spOnd to the call, and that the con-
ventiOn, when assembled would be moth
ing more than body of political hacks
and dead beats. The prediction is
likely TO be fulfilled. 4 circular jusr
issued by the Land and Labor organization
of New York pours cold water on the Gin
cinnati movement. The circular states
that no labor leader in the city of New
York takes any interest in the Cincinnati
convention and strongly intimateS that it Is
dodge of the monopollsts to disorganize
the labor vote. The most significant fea-
ture of the circular. however, is the declar
alton that HENRY GEORGE will never stand
as a candidate for public office again.
The circular is signed by GAYBERT
BARNES, secretary of the Land and Labor
organization, and is Endorsed by the cell
trail committee. of which JOHN MCMAC
KIN. Rev. EDWARD MCGLYNN, d. D.,
and JAMES REDPATH are members. 1t
may. therefore, be regarded as equivalent
to an official declaration from Mr.. GEORGE
himself that he will not be a presidential
candidate in 1885,

THE SOLDIERS, HOME.

1t is conceded that Minnesota should have
a soldiers home, and that being the case it
is admitted that there could be no more de
sirable site than the commanding and pic
turesQue bluffs in the vicinity of Fort Shell
ing. The whole state might be searched
through without discovering more fayora-
bic location. In every respect it is all that
could be wished for, and its requirement is
quite within the bounds of probability. A
bill introduced in congress by Mr.. GILFu.-
Ian. setting aside 200 acres of the Fort
Smelling reservation for the purpose OF
a home, has been referred to the
SECRETARY Of war and by him referred
to the department commander. Such rep
reservations should be made to the latter
that he cannot fail to see the avisability of
making recommendation in favor of the
proposed bill. The amount of land re-
quired could easily be deducted from the
Smelling reservation without impairing i'll
the least the efficiency of the post. and the
advantage of locating the home in the
vicinity OF the Fort is obvious. Congress
should. as soon as possible, grant the desired
authority for obtaining the land. in order
that the NJ nneSOta legislature may proceed
inielligently in the premises. and to that
end the wishes of the people of st. Paul
should be strongly impressed upon the de-
partment commander if he has not already
decided to make a favorable report upon
the matter submitted for his consideration.
