IN MVTEZIZIM Ny AVE a startling
T%IIkIAA9 item to write up
o. and lay before
the readers OF
the GLOBE. Nothing unusual occurred,
yet the contemplation of the vast pro-
cessiOn, caused him to examine its make
up and conjecture as to the thoughts
uppermost in the minds Of some
and the objects and pursuits of others.
What strange cOnglomeratlon! In
the hurrying throng are old and young
men, long and short men, rich men and
poor men, white and black men. well
dressed men and many men not so well
dressed, but all intent upon doing some
thing. There is fine-looklng man with
grey muStache who seems to bear upon
his person the exemplification OF that
passage of Holy Writ which says: Il
thank God [ am not as other men are"
He has an air of dissatisfaction as
much as to say 81 own half of the city,
and am now on my way to meet syn
dictate and purchase the other half"
He SaluteS no one as he passes and
must be a stranger.
There is tall, fine-lOoking man, who
speaks or bows to all. He has long,
flowing beard, and his general makeup
shows him to be part Of the salt OF
the earth. Once he commanded large
part of the fleet of the upper Missis-
sippi, but lately he has controlled and
managed lines of prairie schoOnerS,
which traverse all portions of the great
West where the whistle Of the lOcOmo-
tive has not been heard. He has been
consistent friend of st. Paul, and has
done much to advance its interest. He
is beloved by all who know him, and
everybody knows him.
There goes little dapper dandy, with
cigarette in his mouth, and the dear
little soul is putting away with all his
might, poisoning the atmosphere with
in his reach, waiting the fumes in the
faces of all passers-by regardless of age
OF sex, and sowing the seeds of ''ner-
vous prostration" and softening Of the
brain stored away in his little head.
Over theresstands an elderly gentleman
upon whose shapely head is tile hat,
tilted back at an angle OF 45 degrees.
He is communicating toa recent arrival
some of his experience when he man
aged line of stages from La Crosse to
st. Paul and other points west. He has
lived happy and contented life, and
the exercise of reasonable economy has
amassed enough of this worlds goods
to enable him to pass the evening OF his
life in ease and comfort.
On the other side of the street is
man CARRYING tin bucket. His habiIi-
mentS show him to be a labOring man,
and he is on his way home to
PARTAKE OF HIS FRUGAL. MEAL.
At his usual hour he will retire to
rest, and his sleep will be sweet and I'M
broken, for he has DO notes in the bank,
no stocks and bonds whose fluctuating
values break the rest of the man of
wealth. He has no wheat to buy or sell,
and the trap set by Old Hutchinson will
not catch him beyond the increased cost
of the bread he will have to purchase
for his family.
There are two men walking side by
side, and what contrast! One is tall
and as slim as rail. 1t looks as If he
might drop through the cable slot with
out touching either side, and be lost to
"lards the lean earth as he passes
along" His figure is so rotund that
one looks instinctively for the lines of
latitude and longitude on his projecting
stomach. He would have no trouble in
moving along straight line, but
should he attempt to turn corner, one
would suppose that he would be run
| into long before his face reached the
turning point. Possibly, however, he
and his lean friend travel together, so
that when change of direction is de-
sired, the thin man can go ahead and
give timely notice of the approach of
his fat companion, and thus avoid col
lisions.
There goes man little the "worse
of wear" He has been looking upon
the wine when it is red and the sting
ing adder has fastened his fangS in the
along, the sidewalk being just little
too narrow for him. His clothes are
dirty, hair unkempt and blood flows
from a cash in his face. Once fond
and devoted mother toyed with his boy
ish curls, and flattered herself that she
was raising a boy who would be all
honor to his country and comfort and
blessing to her in her old age. At the
corner above he will be likely to run
into Andy Calls net and become guest
Of the city for the night, and possibly
Judge Cory will give him free ride to
the city restaurant near Lake Como.
Entering the Merchants hotel is fine
looking gentleman who has held several
offices under the state government and
once he was an Office holder under the
general government. He is an able
man, a fine speaker, and previous to the
a.
lever in tariff reform, but after the Re-
publican platform was announced he
renounced his former belief, took the
stump and advocated high tariff and
free whisky. Such allegianc to party
should entitle him to a cabinet position.
If President-elect Harrison will write to
tneGLoBE the name of this distinguished
':fopper'' will be furnished.
On the other side of the street is
man, said to be the best criminal law
yer in the United States. He is tall,
well built, wears SLOUGH hat and is as
beardless as a boy. He is always en-
ployed against the state, and very gem
orally secures the acquittal of his client.
with criminal law, and never goes to
trial until he has his case well mapped
out and then he is ready for the testi-
mOny. When the case is closed he
sums up the evidence to the jury and
carries it home to their heads and
hearts with an eloquent speech, which
no logic on
THE OTHER SIDE CAN OvERTURN.
Following close after him is a young
LAWYER, small in stature but large in in
tellectual attainmentS. Already he has
earned an envable reputation at the
bar, and his success thus far foreshad-
ows brilliant future. He is a close
student, and gives his clients the ben
eft of considerable experience sup
ported by the authority of 1.-The law and
the prophets" The lawyers must be
