HE OUGHT 10 TRAYEL.

Duluth has the consolation of knowing
that she is not the only city whose public
building appropriation has been choked by
the thorns of executive vetoes. Acting
upon the principle which moved the Irish
man when he killed the showman's snake,
the president is killing the public building
appropriations wherever they pop up. He
Is evidently Of the impression that the gov
eminent already owns buildings enough in
which to transact the public business. No
doubt the president is conscientious in this
belief, and if the whole area of the United
States lay in the strip of country between
Buffalo and Washington he would
be right about it. But it hap-
pens that there is a tolerably large
slice OF country included within the limits
of the United States which lies outside of
that section. A man sitting at his desk in
Washington. looking over a map of the
United States, has very little idea of the
bigness of this country. What he wants to
do is to get out and travel for about six
months and he will be surprised to know
what big spot of ground the national flag
floats over. President CLEVELAND is nat
nrally broad-gauged man, and all he needs
to widen his craftsmanship to the fullest
dimensions is to climb spur of the Rocky
mountains and takeIa bird's-eye peep of the
country over which he presides

He took off his hat repeatedly as the passer-by
recognized him and saluted him. Several of

their hats and waved them as he passed.
Others cheered him. He smiled, raised his

THE PETHssFgED FERN.

In a valley, centuries ago,
Grew a little fern-leaf, green and slender,
Neining delicate and flores tenuer;
Waving when the wind crept down so low.
bushes tall, and moss and grass grew round it,
Playful sunbeams darted in ana found it,
Drops Of dew stole i'll by night, and crowned it :;
But no foot of man e'er trod that way
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swan the silent main.
Stately forests waved their giant branches,
Mountains hurled theif snowy avalaL C les,
Mammoth creatures stall1ed across the plain;
Nature reveled in grand my sterieS,--
But the little fern was not of these,
Did not number with the hills and trees;
Only grew and waved its Wild sweet way;
No one came 10 note it dag by day.
Earth, one time. put on a frolic mood,
Heaved the rocks and changed the mighty
motion
OF the deep strung currents of the ocean,
Moved the plain and sncok the naughty wood,
Crushed the little tern in sott. moist ciay.-
Covered il, aud hid it safe away.
O, the long, long CENTURIES since that day.
o, the changes! o, life; bitter cost
Since that useless little fern was lost!
Useless? Lost? There came thoughtful man
Searching Nature secrets, far and deep;
From assure i'll a rocky steep
He withdrew stone Ger which there ran
Fairy pencilings, quaint design,
Veinings, leafage, flores clear and fine,
And the ferns life lay in every line.
So, think God hides some souls away,
Sweetly to surprise US, the last day.

That Guiteaga Story.
Special to the Globe


WASHINGTON, July 12.-Mr. George W.
McElfresh who, as detective officer was
detailed to District Attorney CorkhilPs
Office after the arrest of Guiteau
Tor shooting President Garfield, was
interviewed by reporter to-day.
In reply to questions, McElfresh said
There is nothing in that Herald story about
Corkhill and Guiteau. We investigated
the matter fully at the time and did not find
a thing to implicate any one with Guiteau
in the crime. One thing l found, and
that was Guiteau was perfectly truthful.
| investigated everything he talked about,
the places he said he had visited and the
persons he had talked with, and found that
he was exactly truthful always. We in
yestlgated whatwe could learn outside, and
would theL go to see him. and when he told
us anything we would investigate that and
we never caught him in a lie.

Twenty-Five Thousand Bachelors
in NJ OntaMa Who Can't Get Wives.
Cor. Philadelphia Record.
The climate OF Montana is not particu-
larry healthy for Mormons, principally. I
believe, because the soil contains so MANY
wide-awake bachelor cowboys who ara
badly in need of wives themselves. The
royal cow-punchers of Montana hate q
Mormon male as they do a snake. Being
unable to geta single helpmeet themselves.
although able to support dozen where a
Mormon cannot support one. it riles them
to have long-haired, rascally elder come
along with four, five and, possibly. sig
wives. and settle down with the utmost gall
and cheek on a government claim There ara
about $4,000 more bachelors in Montana
than there are women altogether. Nearly
all OF these $4,000 have splendid ranches,
farms or claims of some kind, and need ONLY
wife to complete their cup of happiness.
1t is no exaggerated picture l am drawing.
for the vast territory of Montana contains
innumerable bachelor homes, and thea
bachelors would make the best of husbands
if given half chance. The little town oP
Maiden, few miles north of here, contains
not single unmarried lady. The small
village only ten miles west of us is simply
community of bachelors. These thou
sands of young men, middle-aged men and
old men all have comfortable bank accounts
and would marry on the slightest provoca-
ton, so to speak. Each one is calculated
to make some woman happy, and would
give the damsel who cared to risk her flu
ture with him all the ready cash she could
possibly wish to spend in this world. No
wonder our bachelors hate the Mormon
males who have more than their share Of

A Horrible Deed.

PITTsBURa, July 12.-Some time ago
the wife of John M. Duvall, living in the
suburban town of Mt. Washington, obtained
a divorce and on the same day married
Jacob IL. Jones. Duvall made no objection
to the marriage. This evening Du-
vail went to Jones and decoyed him
to his house which stands near the brow of
the hill. In a stroll about the premises,
DuVall led Jones back of an old barn which
stands near by, and when safe from OBJ
servation. seized can of vitriol which
he had concealed there for the purpose
and threw the liquid into the
face OF his victim, who, totally disarmed
by the apparent friendship of Duvall, was
unprepared for such murderous onslaught.
Jones fell to the ground writhing in
agony, while the assailant stood by
and gloated over his horrible work
After watching the sufferings
of Jones until satisfied Duvall went to the
edge Of the cliff, where there is sheer de-
scent of 300 feet, and shoot
ing himself through the head,
fell headIong to the bottom He
was picked up and carried to a house near
by, where he is still lying insensible, with
no hope OF recovery. Jones is in very
serious condition, and if he RECEIVERS he will

LoGAN,s EXPLANATION.

It occurred just as the GLOBE said
would. The senate has refused to investi
gate the charges of bribery preferred against
Senator PAYNE of Ohio. We had two
reasons for thinking so. In the first place
we did not believe Senator PAYNE to be
guilty of the charges. And in the next
place, if he had been guilty the senate
saOuld not have convicted him. 1t was one
IL those cases where the jury would have
felt impelled to stand together in protection
of themselves. Ii every member of
the senate who spent money in Sc
suring his seat in that body was
expelled there would hardly be enough left
10 constitute committee to draft resolu-
ions of regret for the departing ones. But
the worst feature of the whole PAYNE
business is Gen. LOGAN's explanation of
his own action in the matter. LOGAN was
4 member of the senate committee which
was charged with the duty of investigating
'he charges against Senator PAYNE. The
committee returned a verdict of not
guilty. But Gen. LOGAN has I'M
Dosomed himself to the st. Louis
GlObe-Democrat and explains how
It was his committee reached that verdict.
He says that the evidence went to show
that the money which PAYNE's managers
spent in the senatorial canvass was spent in
the caucus and not in the legislature and as
It is beneath the dignity of the senate to III
Festigate caucus proceeding, they con-
sluded to dismiss the charges. But Gen.
LOGAN does not stop here. His indi-
vidual sense Of morality is fully
batisied with getting out at this tech
nical loop-hole, but he doesn't feel disposed
to let this opportunity pass without giving
some Of his old enemies rap. He re-
minds the country that this is not the first
instance Of the corrupt use of money in
caucus. He recites the doings of the Chi
cago Republican convention in 1880, and
asserts that it was by the use of money that
GRANT was defeated for denomination for
the third term. It occurs to US that Gen.
LOGAN is little chestnutty in reference to
this matter. That is an old, old story with
which the country is familiar and the truth
fulness Of which nobody ever doubted
Everybody Is satisfied that money and
good deal Of it was used to defeat GRANTS
nomination at that time, and the country is
equally as well satisfied that money and
good deal of it was also used in the vain
effort to nominate him. If there has been
Republican convention in the last twenty
years where money was not spent in secur-
ing nominations, Gen. LOGAN will do
public favor by naming the time and place.

Hydrophobia Treatment.

70 the Editor Of the Globe:
AS so much is being said in reference to the
treatment of hydrophobia wish to give to
the public through the columns of your very
valuable paper case of successful, but very
simple treatment that was employed in my
family few years ago.
Ia January, 1888, my son, lad of 10 years
of age, was badly bitten by real mad dog.
Both hands were badly torn and one was Bit
ten al most through. The wounds were not
cauterized as usual, but, from the first, poul.
tees Of herbs and roots were ap-
piled and continued all the time
until the sores were completely healed These
poulhces were frequently changed, and at
each time the sores were well washed. The
theory given for this treatment is that the
virus of the mad dog is not, at first, an act
i've poison, like that of poisonous reptiles
and insects, but is formed by kind of fer
mentation produced by the fever that nat
uraly arises from the wound and is then
taken up by the blood. The object Of the
poultiee is two-fold: First, to prevent the
fever from rising and thereby prevent the

MINISTER'S, VACATIONS.


A good deal of sneering, not warranted
by the facts in the case. is made at the
practice of granting clergymen every sum-
mer vacations of pretty good length. 1t is
nsinuated that the minister's lot is in COM
parison with that of other professional
men an extremely easy one; that, in fact,
as some of the more hardened sinners
assert, it is position of little more than
diglifed and respectable loafng. and that
therefore the clergymen do not require the
same rest from their labors which other
men find once in while necessary. There
could not be a falser idea. 1t is no
easy task to preach on an average three
new sermons a week before congregations
of intelligent and critical hearers, and each
time say something fresh and instructive.
1t might be easy enough if the congregation
was different one at each time, but being
essentially the same from one years end to
another, the minister must bestir himself
to keep from falling into the rut of repeti-
ton and rendering himself liable to the
imputation of being lacking in intellectual
fertility. There is, therefore, the necessity
on his part for constant mental labor and
activity, than which no work is more IA
tiguing or more exacting. Naturally, then
if his mental vigor and freshness is
to be preserved the minister must have
periods when he may attain that for which
the Boston girl said she went to New Y ork,
complete intellectual rest. In addition to
their more purely mental labor. clergymen
have other duties in connection with their
parish work no less fatiguing. All in all,
the instances in the case Of ministers when
the laborer is not worthy of his hire, are
very few indeed. It is decidedly the ex-
ception when he does not richly deserve and
earn his vacation. and none earn theirs
mere conscientiously than st. Paurs able
