THE ERA OF COMMON SENSE.

1t is so seldom that autOcratic fashion can
be commended for her DEGREES or for the
implicit obedience which she exacts. that a
mertOriOus dictum is peculiarly refreshing.
1t is declared no longer fashionable for the
members of the fair sex to present a deli
cate and fragile appearance, but in its stead
must be seen robust forms and rosy cheeks.
The pinched and taper waist must 90 the
way of other obsolete denominations, and
for the nOnce nature be allowed 10 work out
her own laws of beauty, unhampered by
the misunderstanding continuance OF modern
millinery art. That such mandate should
be necessary, however lily il argues for the
common sense usually attributed to Ameri-
can women, is a melancholy fact amply
proven by the most casual observation. Iu-
stead of being the exception, as should be
the case under a natural order of things,
weakness, sick headaches. wan faces and a
general condition described as pale ana in
teresting' have been almost the rule.
Henceforth vigOr amounting nearly 10 ath-
leticism must be acquired, and TO that end
participation in all forms of outdoor life are
advised. American women have long been
criticised as lacking that ability for con-
tinued exertion or appearance Of thorough
good health which characterizes the fair Of
other climes, but there is one thing in
which the American woman allows herself
to be surpassed by nOne-her unwavering
obedience TO the dictates of fashionable
authority. If weakness is no longer 1.-THE
thing" she will straightway become strong
and thus, if from no more noble considera-
ton, confer upon herself and pOsterity de-
Sirable benefaction of a sound mind and a
sound body. That the effect of the decree
is being felt in St Paul, where perhaps 1t
was not so necessary as in places not fay-
ored with our bracing climate, is seen by
the large number of feminine members Of
the different winter clubs, in whose sports
health and enjoyment go hand in hand.

DETERMINED TO WED.

The literature of elopement annals has
had no more sensational contribution for a
long time than the account which comes
from Edgerton. Mo-. of the marriage of
Mr.. GUsTIN and Miss BRUCE of that
place. The young people had long loved
each other with an ardor which sought suit
able expression in marriage VOWS, but the
parents of Miss BRUCE said them nay
MIR. GUsTINs it seems, is an editor and. with
perhaps pardOnable suspicion. the old people
were inclined TO look upon the fact of a
member OF the press possessing sufficient Of
the coin of the realm to consummate mat
rimony as a circumstance the reverse of as
surfing. But with such success did Ed
itor GUsTIN press his suit, and presumably
the suitee. the maiden fair was lead TO
look upon the objections of her parents as
irrelevant, not to say disgustn', and
she blew them airily away from
the tips of her dainty fingers. Still
remaining obdurate and enforcing tlieir
obstinacy by locking their daughter i'm her
room, Miss BRUCE, who doubtless recalled
traditions of Scotch ancestry. determined To
assert the independent spirit which thrills
Oic DIcstSl vi every True DOTH American glfl.
and fly TO her discOnsolate GUsTTN. Word
was conveyed to the young man, who with
some mutual friends fastened TO the house.
Then Miss BRUCE, commanding them Ia
turn their faces away. gracefully slid
down a waterspout from her secOnd-story
window, was bundled into a sleigh and
driven to the house of a convenient minis
ter, whence she emerged as Mrs. GUsTIN.
The parents accepted the inevitable. and on
the promise of the editor IN writing up the
event to describe the mother as looking
scarcely older than her charming daughter,
and the father as the leading citizen, all was
forgiven. Thus it will be seen that the in
dependent press, impatient of all restraint,
eXerts an influence in the court of VENUS
as well as in the court of justice and the
darker field of politics.

TO THELAND OF SUNSHINE.

While the wintry winds are bowling and
the mercury betrays an inordinate fOndness
for sinking away out of sight, the organ
ization of an excursion to the sunshine and
balmy breezes of California seems par
ticular!y appropriate. The possibility of
leaving the snow and ice of our North
western country and within forty eight
hours entering land where the birds are
singing and bright flowers blooming has
something of enchantment i'm it To those
who remember the time when a
journey of hundred miles was
not TO be entered upon with
out long and careful preparation. To
the present generation, however. there is
no such thing as distance; it is simply a
matter of hours, and that this is the case is
proven by the many winter excursions that
have been arranged of late years To the
semi-trOpical portions of our country. One
which experience has proven to be among
the most delightful will start from Chicago
at $50 p. m. on Feb. 16 by way of the
Illinois Central. The objective point will
be San Francisco. but the tourist will have
an opportunity of becoming acquainted by
personal observation with some of the
! many other delightful winter resorts
which exist in the South and Southwest
A stop will first be made in New Orleans.
where four DAYS will be pleasantly spent
and the eXcursionists thus be given chance
to obtain a general idea of the attractive
ness and extent of the great exposition. to
thorough study of which weeks might be
probably devoted. Leaving New Orleans
the route lies through a picturesque and
historic region, finally reaching Los An
geles, destined from its delightful natural
advantages 10 become one of the
greatest of American winter resorts
Thence to San Francisco tie travel
ers will be conducted and ample time
be given for examination of what is in many
respects the most wonderful city on the
continent. The luxury of accommodations
afforded by palace cars will be provided and
the rOundtrip fare from st. Paul is fixed at
only Sl29. while tourists may return at any
time within six months. The more rugged
delights of winter climate undoubtedly
have their charm, but it is a matter of con-
graduation that in these days the pleasures
of summer have been rendered so accessible.

is an open secret that he hated Gen.
GRANT. Whether there was just cause
for his animosity toward GRANT or not, it
is evident that Gen. HALLBcK thought he
had, and he made no effort to conceal it.
1t may be possible that HALLEcK was an
imbeciIe and did many weak and foolish
things. But he was no traitor. If he was
guilty of the crime with which WALLACE
charged him he was worse criminal
than BENEDICT ARNOLD, and ought TO
have been shot. And what is more, if
he had been guilty of an attempt to surren-
der Washington city into the hands Of the
rebels in order to crafty his vengeful feel
ings toward Grant. he would have been shot
at the time. If it was true, and Gen. WAL
LACE was in possession of the facts. he
ought to be shot now for not having made
them public before. Gen. WALLACE will
have to call off his dogs. He may hammer
away at HALLECK's reputation from now
until dOomsday, but he will not be able to
lower it in public estimation.

PROVIDE FOR OUR GUESTS.

The most serious problem now connected
with the ice carnival is to know how to pro-
vide accommodation for the vast crowd of
people who are coming to see the show. st.
Paul has extraordinary hotel accommoda-
tons, and there has never been time
when the city was not capable of provid-
ing public entertainment for all visitors who
came here. But this is to be an eXtraordi-
nary occasion. The indications are that
there is to be greater crowd here than
visited Montreal during the ice carnival
seasons in that city. The Montreal people
did, just as our carnival association has
done, appointed eommitte to secure rooms
and lodging for visitors in private dwellings.
The result is that we will have to do Just as
the Montreal people dd-to a certain ex-
tent keep open house during the carnival
season. We do not mean that our people
are expected to open their doors indisc rimi-
nately TO all who come But it is expected

AFTER THE BATTLE.

To the Editor OF the Globe:
A Union soldier who left an arm IN front of
Petersburg, having read with great deal of
pleasure Capt. Monett's address before the
Unity club last Tuesday night. asks the GLOBE
TO publish the accompanying lines as being
appropriate TO the spirit Of the address. The
lines were clipped from an Eastern paper
twenty years ago, and were said TO have been
written by Mrs. John L. Flagg. the wife OF
the mayor OF Troy, n. Y. GRAND Army.

waste OF land. sodden plane,
A lurid SUNSET sky,
Mild clouds that fed and faded fast
In ghOStly phantasy:
field upturned by tramping feet,
a field up-piied with slain,
With horse and rider bent In death
Upon the battle plain.
The dying and the dead lie low;
For them no more shall rise
The evening moon, nor midnight stars,
Nor daylights soft surprise.
They wake no more 10 tenderest call,
Nor see again each home,
Where waiting hearts shall throb and break
When this days tidings come.
Two soldiers lying as they fell
Upon the Redeemed clay,
In daytime foes. at night at peace,
Breathing their lives away.
Brave hearts had stirred each manly breast,
Fate only made them foes;
And lying, dying side by side,
A softer feeling rose.
''Our time is short" one faint voice said,
To-day we did our best
On different sides, what matter now?
Tomorrow we're at rest.
Life lies behind; l might not care
For only my own sake;
But far awag are other hearts
That this days work will break.
Among New Hnmpshire's granite hills
There pray for me tonight
A woman and little girl
With hair like golden light
And as the thought broke forth at last
The cry of anguish wild,
That would not longer be repressed-
''Oh, God! my wife-my child!'
And" said the other dying man,
Across the Georgia plain
There watch ana wait for me loved ones
III never see again.
A little child, with dark, bright eyes,
Each day waits AT the door
The fathers step, the fathers kiss
That never greet her more.
To-day we've sought each others lives
Death levels all that now
For soon before Gods mercy seat
Together we shall bow.
Forgive each other while we may

And right OF wrong to-morrOw's sun

The dying lips the pardon breathe

The stars from heaven shine.

LET rs DECORATE.

This is the last week of preparation for
the great carnival. The ice palace is APP
preaching completion, and will be finished
by the opening day. The directors have
arranged magnificent program for the car
nival season, and our people have entered
INTO it with a spirit of wonderful enthusi-
asm. They have responded nobly TO all de-
mands that have been made upon them.
We have now one. more suggestion to make
to the citizens of the city. Let all the
business houses be decorated during the
carnival season. and the private dwellings
also; and on the nights of The most import
ant professions let the buildings along the
line of march be illuminated.

PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.


The GLOBE takes the liberty to suggest
TO the ice carnival directors that I'm what
ever program is to be adopted for the season
amusements the children should be pro-
yided with equal facilities for the enjoy
ment Of the sports along with the adults.
Ii should be so arranged that the little ones
are not to be crowded out and denied equal
advantages with others. 1t is already con-
templated that each Saturday afternoon
shall be devoted 10 amusements for the ben
eft of the children. But il occurs TO us that
more than this is necessary. III the carnival
is to prove. as it undoubtedly will, a health
giving recreation, then, by all means, the
children are the ones TO be especially bene-
lifted by it. 1t might be arranged that each
afternoon be given to the little folks, and
that they be permitted TO have the exclusive
use of the skating Kinks and tOboggan slides.
The forenoOns and evenings will be given
TO the adults for their amusement, and it is
nothing but fair that the children should
have as much as One-third of the
time set apart for their enjoyment. And
while making this suggestion to the
carnival manager we will 20 further
and suggest to the school authorities
that during the carnival season the public
schools of the city shall be closed every
afternoon and the pupils given half holt
day, TO give them the opportunity to enjoy
the sports of the carnival. The afternoons
spent on the toboggan slides and the ice
Kinks will be of vastly more benefit to them
than so many afternoons cooped up in over
heated school rooms. If Open-air exercise
and outdoor sports are healthful for grown
people it is dOubly important that the chill
dren have the same privileges. Therefore
the GLOBE makes this earnest plea on be-
half of the little folks of our city.

LEGEND OF THE ICE KING.


The GLOBE publishes this morning the
entertaining Legend of the Ice King, which
is TO be symboliZed in the carnival pro-
ceedings which are to occur in this city dur
ing the month Of February. 1t is beautiful
story, and tells how the people of the enter
prising city of Saint Sahl enticed the Ice
King TO leave his frosty dominiOns where
he had dwelt for all the centuries in seclu-
reared its ether arch above the world. The
glittering towers of that magnificent castle.
as they glittered in the sheen and splendor
of the light of the Aurora BOrealis,
had been the ignis fatuus which
had deluded venturesOme explorers to
approach near enough to its fatal
precincts TO perish from the chilling effects
Of the Frost Kings breath. From away
back since the time when the morning stars
sang together over the birth of a new
created world has the Ice King sat Oh his
Arctic throne like some spectral form
clothed with frosted majesty, inaccessible
to all the world and never deigning TO ex-
hibit his royal person to mortal eyes until
startled from his seclusion by the rise of a
rival empire TO the south of him. The
manner of the royal visit to his rivals do
miniOns, of the cordiality of the welcome
which greeted him. and of all the magnifi-
cenee of the carnival which followed are
detailed in most delightful style by GIDEON
GRIP, the antiquarian. who alone of all
living men is in possession of the legends
which relate to the uninterrupted reign for
sixty centuries of the Ice King of the North.

THE LAST AMERICAN ROMANCE

Gen. LEW WALLACE is adding inn
mensely to his reputation as writer of
fiction. As long as he confined his flights
Of imagination 10 rOmances Of the fair
gods the public was willing that he should
give free rein to his fancy and enjoy the
broadeSt latitude in the fields of fiction.
But when he perverts his romantic talent
to a cowardly attempt to besmireh and
blacken the reputation of a gallant soldier
he will find himself crushed be-
tween the upper and neither milestone
of public indignation. Gen. HALLEoK
was not pre-eminently great military
chieftain, but his loyalty and devotion to
country was never suspected until Gen.
WALLACE opened the walls of ealumny
to be emptied upon the old soldiers reputa-
ton. 1t is evident that Gen. VILLAGES
sojourn in the land of the Turk has not
improved his moral sense or strengthened
his veneratiOn for truth. The life Of easy
indulgence one leads at the court of the
sultan is not calculated to strengthen a
mans moral nature. Consequently any
statement coming from All individual, the
natural bent of whose mind is toward
fiction and romance and who has recently
spent several years unde the dreamy in
fuences of the Orient, will be received with
proper degrees of allowance
