How lie served Term n@ Blind
Painter on the Road.
Of Whitcomb Rilcy's early life u
writer in the pittsburg Dispatch says :
81 was ruiiHing u weekly paper in q
small northern Indiana town ut the
time first met the poet Riley. You
know how the inhabitants of small
places 20 wild over anything of u
freakish nature, and the reigning
sensation just then was the work of Il
blind sign painter. a party Of adver-
tising fakirs had just struck the vii
lage who decorated the dead walls
and fences in the most gaudy way
imaginable, the finishing and artistic
touches being done by member OF
the party who was known as the
only blind sign painter on earth.
Business with them was rushing,
every merchant in town comingaround
and wanting work done, for when
the blind sign painter, who was none
other than Riley, felt his way up Il
ladder and dashed oil an artistic sign,
half the inhabitants Of the place
turned out to witness the feat.
"The scheme Of the fakirs, which
was an original one and calculated 10
catch the multitude, all depended on
the histrionic ability of the Iloosier
poet He had large, frank gray eyes,
and the vision of an eagle. When the
surface was selected he was brought
out and led to the foot of the ladder
A part Of his business was to 20 up Il
step, carefully feeling his way, then
turning, stare into vacancy In an aim
less, moony sort Of style, and bring to
bear on the crowd a face full Of pain
and pathos. This rarely failed TO draw
expressions of sympathy, and, what
was more to the point, additional nd
verising contracts. Slowly climbing
the ladder, he fingered the surface
measuring carefully with his hands
| the dimensions Of the letters, and
then seizing the brush, the sign was
| reeled off much more rapidly thar
| the Average painter could do it.
Another catching bit of business
was to stumble on coming down, wher
one Of the party gave him a Showing
below, with an imprecation and
brutal order to be more careful,
| budiut, siulllt ppult ullS DuSh
to take the poor man away from thos,
! ruflans,' were the sample remarks
| from the crowd on such occasions
One day when he was up the ladder
| ] caught his eye. My suspicious hat
been aroused and he saw il in my
face. Slowly and deliberately, Will
owlish- solemnity, he winked tha
! great gray eye of his i'll way which
I spoke whole libraries.
after that was taken in his conf
dence, and finding he was agold min'
| of talent, induced him to leave paint
ing and go to work in my Office, a tasl
which was not difficult, for he only
regarded the "blind-painter' dodge u
a boyish lark, and was getting tireC
of the fun. This was the beginning
of his newspaper career"

Collector Cooks Application for ~
Mandamus on the Recorder,

Collector Cooks Application for ~
Mandamus on the Recorder,
CmcfJustice Bingham this morning
delivered tho opinion of the Court in
General Term in the case of Cook w.
Troter, the action being for writ of
mandalnus TO compel tho Recorder to
note upon n tax certificate the day and
hour of its receipt for record. The court
was of the opinion that the Tax Collector
ia not individually or officially interested
beyond the simple discharge of his duty.
The suit was not one which should be
brought by any officer, but by the pur-
cbasers under the tax sale. The Collector
not being the proper reator in the peti-
tion, it was dismissed.
As to the duties of the Recorder under
such circumstances, Justice Bingham
said that the Court being agreed on this
point they had concluded to venture their
opinion. The Recorder is required, when
ever in his office and an instrument is
presented which by law he is bound TO
receive, TO then receive IL, and the hour
of the day that IL may be rendered him is
entirely immateriol.
Tho Court did not feel called upon to
soy whether the Recorders rule Of open
ing at . and closing at on every day ex.
cept saturday, 0nu at y O'Clock ON that
day, was reasonable. They did not qucs-
ton that reasonable rule might be made
and followed
IL was certainly not in the contempla-
ton of the law that the office was 20 he
kept open twenty-four hours of the day.
But the Court thought If the Office be
open Mt any time so that some one of the
public obtains access, and the Recorder
or II subordinate competent to act in his
afs hA gftftN Il Il tn s.nfl
such an instrument as the Recorder Is
bound 10 receive, he must so receive il al
that time and indorsc upon IL the day and
hour Of its receipt.

a MANLY MINISTER.

He Honestly and Frankly Confirms IA
Statement Which Had Been Called
in Question-An Interesting and Out
spoken letter.
Tho Rev. b. Mills is Presbyterian
clergyman and Doctor of Divinity, whose
station is at Meade Centre, Kan. He is
an earnest preacher, a faithful pastor and
man who has the courage of his conyic-
tions. Some time since he made state
men which appeared in The public prints
and which, as all ouispoken statements
do, occasioned much comment. Many
letters were addressed to him upon the
subject, TO one Of which Rev. DIR. Mills re-
piled
"Your favor With the incIosed slip is at
hand. The faG are these. MY wife was
an invalid for several years and, on our
PHYSICIANS recommendation, used II GER
tain preparation with very great benefit.
lreceived letter inquiring us 10 its effects,
TO which | replied as follows j am n
Presbyterian clergyman, Doctor of
divinity, not of medicine, but ] am not
afraid To- say that Dully's Formula and
Dufly's Pure Malt Whskey are the
purest and most effective preparations, as
medicines, ] know of and my experience
IL large one | am mperance man
and never nsed and never would advise
any man or woman TO use any intoXicant
as beverage. My recommendation of
DnAy's Formula and Whskey was made
after a thorough knowledge Of their great
value as medicines The statement was
made deliberately and based upon facts,
and do not hesitate to stand by it. The
many temperance men who have written
me ON this subject do not seem to realize
that was temperance man, in many
cases, before they were born"
The above correspondence speaks for
itself. Itshows THAI an earnest, honest,
orthodox minister, who desires the great
est phys cal as well rs spiritual well-being
of the world, does not hesitate TO declare
pure, valuable and good, The world
would certainly be far better if there
were more such conscientious, honest
ana able men.

MINNEsorA,s cNPIrAL.
a Reminisceocc Of General Sibiey and
stephen A. Douglass.

stephen A. Douglass.
Washington letter in the Minnca-
polls JoMHdk I heard a nos story on
General Sibley the other day, which
loses none of i,s force because it
happens TO be authentic. In the
early days, when he was II Territorial
delegate, the naming Of capital for
Minnesota came up in Washington
and General Sibloy prepared the
proper bill, in which 81, Paul was
duly nominated as the future scat of
government. He carried it TO Stephen
A. Douglass to be put through
the Senate. The Little Giant
was u good friend of the General, and
took the bill with u sly twinklein his
eye. 1t had its reading in due course
of time, and was referred to the Ter
ritorial Committee. Here General
Siblcy happened to get hold Of il once
more. llorrorl The elegantly en-
crossed "St. Paul" had been erased
and MENDOZA written in It's place.
The work looked suspiciously like
Senator Douglass's. The General
hunted him up aud asked why the
change. "You ought TO have some
benefit from this, replied Douglass.
General Siblcy owned considerable
land at Mendoza, be it understood.
"Well, change it back to st.
Paul" replied the General. at
would never do for me to 20
back to my constituents with the
capital at Mendoza The Senator
yielded to urging, and the change
was made, which was close shave for
81. Paul \ year on more after there
was an excursion down the Potomac.
Most of the Senators were on board;
also General SibIey. Soon Senator
Douglass sought him out Come
into the cabirN and let me introduce
You, General" Within sat the most
eminent members of the American
| House Of Lords. Standing before
them with his hand on the General S
shoulder, Douglass soemnly said:
Gentlemen, this is General Sibley
of Minnesota, and the biggest fool Of
| my acquaintance. / wanted to make
him rich once and he would not have
| it," lie remained rich in the esteem
| Of his fellow-citizen, nevertheless, and
il is safe to say lost nothing Of the
esteem of the Little Giant.
