HORTICULTURAL HINTS.
How to Beautify Public Grounds In Coun-
try and village.


The horticultural advance to be made
at the present time, which would prob
ably be most beneficial, especially in
country villages, is to go outside of our
individual premises and to take more
interest in the streets, the school
grounds. the churchyards, the ceme-
teries, the public squares OF parks, the
railway stations, grounds of public
buildings, and others of this nature.
Some may think it is enough for each
to sweep before his own door-yard; but
this can not be true, for there is mani
festly public duty in this respect to
be discharged if we would give horti-
culture the scope that naturally belongs
to it. Now, what is every body's duty
is nobody's, and unless some public
spirited persons will take the lead it is
evident nothing will be done. Is it
necessary to bring forward here the
mercenary motive of increased value of
individual real property to enforce this
thought? We trust not, though it may
90 where it will have its influence.
How are these improvements to be
made? In the first place they are
to be made in the minds of those
who desire them; number of
persons should be interested, the more
the better but some one must first
think about them, desire them and de-
terlnine to work for them, and must
interest others in the subject. Let one
thing be undertaken ut time, and that
one which in most cases will elicit the
greatest sympathy and aid will be the
Improvement of the school grounds.
This should be nicely furnished with
grass, any disagreeable objects should
be screened from sight by proper tree
planting, the margins of the grounds
should be supplied with trees and
towering shrubs, aud the fences. when
not hidden from sight by the latter,
should be covered with Towering vines
The ornamentation of the school
grounds in this manner will commend
itself to the public, and will not bt

INGALLS, MEANNESS.
The Unutterable Pusillaniln0us Dlspoi
ttOn of the Kansas Man.

The speech which Mr. Ingalls, of
Kansas recently delivered in the United
States Senate on the pensions bill was
extremely malignant. Its author dem
onstrated, although the demonstra-
tion was unnecessary, that he is keenly
sarcastic and master of invective,
and that there is perhaps no other man
in the American public life so skillful
in the art Of saying trenchant things
in parliamentary way. He insulted
President Cleveland, and also the
memories OF Generals Hancock and
Mcclellan; and perverted fact to the
extent of declaring that no Democratic
constituency in the South had ever
elected Union soldier to either branch
of Congress. The speech was bitterly
partisan. Its purpose was to revile
the Democratic leaders and to revive
sectional animosities, and Mr.. Black
burn fitly characterized it when, in the
course of his calm and courteous but
vigorous reply, he pronounced it an
insult to the dignity of the Senate.
The bill before the Senate was framed
by the Grand Army of the Republic,
and provided for the extension of PEN
siohs to disabled veterans. Whether
the proposed beneficiaries, who imper-
lied their lives in defense of the Union
at the most critical period in its his
tory, should now, in their old age and
helplessness, be protected and sup
ported by the Government they helped
to save or he left dependent on the
charity of their neighbors. is problem
for reason and gratitude and not fol
passion to solve. There is nothing in
the proposition that calls for an ap.
peal to the hatreds born of the war.
Those who fought against the Union
now realize as fully as those who
fought for it that 1t was fortunate fol
all the struggle resulted rs 1t did. They
are thankful. Notwithstanding that the

SATURDAY AT DULUTH.
The Blizzard Over-Realty and
Society.


Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 3.-All trains
were nearly On time to-day, the blizzard
of Thursday having spent itself. 1t
was feared yesterday morning that five
fishermen who went about twenty miles
out near Iron river to build a hut and
fish for several days, had been lost, but
the entire party came in safe and sound.
Short line trains between Superior and
ing resumed schedule time yesterday
afternoon.
THE REALTY RESUME.
Notwithstanding the storm. Duluth
realty became quite active two days
this week. There were twenty-three
transactions one day, with total of
81. 900, and yesterday saw number of
large transfers. The Bay View hotel
property has been sold by contract to
SOutherners for 81 600 foot, including
the building. There is possibility OF
the new chamber of commerce project
falling through, unless the $4,000 still
needed to make up the total of nuluth's
subscription is speedily subscribed.
People see so many contracts let for
new buildings at a cost all the way
from $4,000 to 100000 on Superior
street that they do not take SO much in
tereSt in the project as they otherwise
would.
THE BASE BALL OUTLOOK.
Still there remains considerable
money to be subscribed before Duluth
can have any confidence in the owner
ship of a club for next season. Jay w.
Anderson, father of base ball in Du-
luth, still hopes for a place in the West
ern association, but he Says $4,000 is
required to start the club, and $500 is
needed before that amount will be
reached.
THE SOCIAL WEEK.
Duluth has been quiet in society this
week, although many small tea lunch
parties, and cosy lat homes" have some
what relieved the monotony. The Grand
opera house did nothing to help us out
till Friday and Saturday, and then the
"Arabian Nights" was hardly society
performance. The Duluth Musical
club is prospecting under Prof. McLoch-
Ian. The Concordia Singing society en-
tertained a large audience Monday
night. The ''Friends in Council' had a
largely attended concert Tuesday night,
and that was very pleasant occasion
at the Bethel Friday night. Miss ID.
Unger's pupils will give their fifth re-
cital at the Hotel st. Louis parlors Mon
day night.
In the suit of Heislev against Swans

to join the young ranchman and his
sister, who were very plainly dressed,
she was attlred in a ball room costume,
which would have done credit to any
metropolitan leader of fashion. The
young man took in the situation at once.
He remembered that in the bottom OF
his trunk was lOng-unwOrn dress suit.
EXcusing himself he hastily dOnned it
without fear of the consequences,
when the dude despising cowboys
shouted behold him. He slipped his
pistol in his pocket to be prepared for
emergencies, but it would never do to
let that gorgeous ball dress appear
without corresponding splendor OF mas
the ball, which was in full blast. Their
entrance created sensation. But one
cowboy, however, failed to recognize
the brides ignorance of Western
customs. He ventured a sneering re-
mark. Immediately he was hustled
outside and with broken head left to
lament his folly, while Mrs. Grisy
reigned inside the belle of the ball, a
pretty expensive distinction, as her $500
dress was ruined long before the even
ing was over by the spurs of her cow
boy admirers. 1t is safe to say that the
second ball she attended was not hon
ored with such gorgeousness of attire.
Grsy has made a good deal of
money, too, in his ranching, beside
acquiring a vast deal of eXpe-
rience. A town has grown up on
a portion of his ranch, to which by a
combination of his name, Gustave and
that of his wife, Minnie, he has given
the name Mingusville, and he has been
honored with the commission of post
master.

q scale that remains unequaled in Mon
tana except by the deserted mansion Of
the Marquis de MoreS at Medora. The
interior furnishings were on the most
luxurious scale, and the armOry
created such fame in the land that
cowboys came for miles. around to see
it. Great was the wonderment that two
young men should supply themselves
with such luxury on the frontier even If
they did possess such unlimited wealth.
The wonderment grew when staff of
French servants, headed by a chef, ar
rived. But the mystery was soon eX-
planned. Visitors to the ranch had often
noticed a picture hanging in the library,
a portrait of beautiful English girl.
But the tact of the frontier, where i'm
Swered with the revolver, had
prevented the expression of I'M
due curiosity. But one day
Grisy made hurried trip to New York.
When he returned the mystery was eX-
planned. He was not alone. Mrs. Grisy
accompanied him. A Miss Allen, the
daughter of wealthy London parents,
she had made the Journey across the
Atlantic, accompanied by her brother,
to meet her intended husband in New
York. The marriage followed immedi-
ately after this meeting, and the same
day the wedding trip to the Western
ranch began. Imagine the feelings of
the English girl, most of whose life had
been spent in London, at being
introduced without preparation to
frontier life. A loyal welcome she re-
ceived from the gallant cowboys, of
course, but the firing of score of re-
volvers did not add to her composure.
She had expected to find some
thing like an English gentleman's
country estate, She really found her
self isolated; 500miles from city MILL

proceeded to make the best of the situa-
ton. Her red fern walking suit was
speedily changed for riding dress that
was a combination of the habit she
used to wear in Rotten Row and cow

The young men were hardly more
than twenty-five when, with letters OF
credit that later astonished their New
York bankers, they turned their
faces toward America for the
first time in the spring of 'S3.
They only tarried in New York
long enough to purchase marvellously
complete hunting outfit, and then, with
a definite purpose in view, hurried to
the far West. That purpose was to
start cattle ranch on grand scale,
and admirably have they succeeded.

Stockman he was not long III selecting q
range. He located it in a beautiful
valley in Eastern Montana along a
never-failing brook called Beaver creek.
A few weeks spentin Iowa and Western
Montana sufficed to pick up splendid

cowboy life on luxurious scale began
in earnest. A score of cowboys were en-
ployed, ponies by the score were bought
and a dozen thoroughbred Kentucky
saddle horses were ordered for the pri-
