St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-10-11

1t is relief to a tired soul to
get away from the whirl of the
busy city and go there where he sees but
few people and can eat Angus wholesome
food, and hear him tell fish and bear stories
and indulge in predictions as to the great
future in store for that section Of the coun-
try. 1t is doubtful if he could be induced
to trade his possessions with Northrop for
st. Paul real estate although it would be
dubious to predict the result if NOrthrOp
got hold of him. DR.. Wheaton and III. s..
Crippen, of st. Paul, and Judge Laughlin
and Frank j. Bowman are full of Angus
"reminiscences. But Angus is prime good
fellow, and one can't blame him for his en-
thusastic loyalty to his section.

Did YOU ever hear Col. Joshua Newton
Mind expatiate on the magnificent qualities
Of his pet panorama Of The Battle of
Atlanta? If not you have missed one of
the grandest opportunities of your life.
The panoramas in Chicago and other larg e
cities pale into insigniicance when com
pared with it. Col Charles Harris is not
the real boomer of the panorama, as
has generally been supposed. He is the
oratorcal mainstay, But Col. Mind is the
propelllng power. 1t does ones very soul
good to see his eyes flash and his bosom
heave as he goes over the story of the battle
and details what perils the artists passed
through away up in the air. while painting
the panorama. And yet, if you really want
to enjoy the panorama to your utmost ca
pacity, l would advise that you go in and
inspect it first and then go and get Col.
Mind in some nice, quiet place and have
him tell you all about it. In this way you
will be able to get onto some of Col. Minds
peculiarltieS and eccentricities.

Did you ever notice a popularity about
the pictures of w. H. Seward that you
rarely. if ever, see about pictures of other
men? John Phillips, the we'll known ar
fist, pointed it out to me the other day. 1t
is in the length of his ears, which are set
considerably below the level of his nose. If
you will notice it about other people you
will observe that the lower part of the ears
and the nose, in almost every instance. are
almost on direct line. This was marked
popularity in Seward.
49,
Col. Charles Orlando Ziegenfuss, the able
editor of the Butte (Mont.), Miner, is
striking type Of the self-made man of the
West. He came to Butte two or three years
ago without penny, but with the good
will and influence of the millionaire, ex-
Senator Hill, of Colorado. He became in
terested in the Miner, the exclusive control
of which he now holds. This is valuable
property, paying handsome dividend. In
addition Ziegenfuss has struck it rich in the
mines. and has an income from this source
alone Of about IS, 900 a month. He rides to
and from his Office in handsome barouche
driven by his uniformed valet, and is MAX
ing preparations to erect in Butte one of the
most palatial residences in the Northwest.
No one need be astOnished to hear of Mr..
Ziegenfuss' election to succeed Toole in
congress in 1883.

Those who enjoyed the hospitality of
Col D. W. Wear, of st. Louis. while he
was superintendent of the Yellowstone
Park, last summer will be glad to know that
he is coming back in the spring to develop
some very rich copper mines which came
into his possession while he was putting in
his time and drawing his salary in that
country. This will be good news, as the
colonel, by his genialitY and courtesy. made
hosts of warm friends. Mr.. Henderson,
who has resided in the park for long time
and is an expert in copper mining, has been
engaged as Col. Wears superintendent.
Congressman Henderson, of Iowa-a
brother of the new superintendent-is a
large stakeholder in the enterprise. The
mines are located on the borders Of the
boundary, in the irregular strips of land in
Montana over which there has been a con-
troversy in regard to anneXing it to the
park This will be an important addition
to the mining industries of Montana.

Col. Peter B. Groat, of the Northern
Pacific, is never happy unless he is concoct
ing some new scheme in the interest of his
road. 1 learn that he is now engaged in
perfecting plans for holding an immense
camp meeting, at some large lake on the
line of that road, during the coming sum-
mer. Mr.. Groat has had experience in this
class of work before, and he always insists
on laying the corner stone himself-which
is an official hymn-book, made up of orig
inal and selected gems. Mr.. Groat takes
charge of this himself, and understand
he will devote his leisure time during the
winter to compiling ''Groat's Monster
Aggregation of Choice Hymns and North
ern Pacific Songster"-for use at the meet
ing. Ii he gets the book out in time the
dates will be fixed for some time in August.

Henry W. Greenberg. lately of Spokane
Falls, W. T., is another example of
what Western newspaper man can do if
he only makes up his mind to overcome all
obstacles and get to the front. | learn that
within the last year he removed to one of
the new mining towns in the Colville coun-
try-Chervellah, [ think-and since then
his rise in the profession and otherwise has
been phenomenal. He is now the proprie-
tor of the paper, the postmaster, runs the
hotel, is in the real estate and insurance
business, conducts services at the Thursday
evening prayer meetings, looks alter an in
terest in several mines and has killed man
who came in to insist upon having correc-
ton made. Ii Mr.. Greenberg, at recent
town meeting, hadn't taken stand against
tariff for revenue only-applying the
principles to local tax levy
and thus alienated a good many of his
friends, there is no telling to what height
of greatness he might have scared. Mr..
Greenberg formerly resided at Glencoe, in
Minnesota and Liberty Hall and Defeated
Candidate Reed, and scores of other friends,
will be glad to hear of his success.
