81 have Just returned from Duluth, !"
said A. S. Tallmadge yesterday, land L
was present at a banquet given by the
citizens TO the Milwaukee aldermen who
have been visiting Duluth this week,
and passed through st. Paul Tuesday.
We had a splendid time. What inter-
ested me a great on the Duluth line
were the improvements which have
been made. The strengthening of the
track, cutting down the grades and the
leveling of the valleys has been well
executed, and an old serpentine, rugged
road has been transformed into track
as level and straight as could possibly
be desired"
A telegram was received yesterday
by c. T. Butcher from his sister, stating
that his brother-in-law, Gen. r. b.

visit to Washington. Gen. Ayres had
his foot caught on the platform of a
street ear while trying to get of, and
was thrown upon the tracks, his head
striking a rail. His skull was fractured
ana he Is not expected to live. Col.
Ayres was a classmate of Gen. Ruger
at West Point Military academy.
There is a young man stopping at
Fifth street resort who, in the language
of the poet, is dead stuck on himself.
He is pretty boy, blonde. with rosy
complexion and a suspicion of down on
his upper lip. In his own Imagination
he is killer among the ladies, and
when one of the fair sex deignS to smile
on him he takes it for granted that
he has made a conquest, and the
dear little creature cannot withstand
the magic spell of his angelic presence.
He was Eally fooled, however, last
night. 1t was during supper. At one
end of the dining room sat the young
man, at the other end and facing him
very pretty girl-One of Rice's Cor
sair'' company. Their eyes met. She.
smiled. He looked silly. In moment
he had caught her eye again. The same
smile and the same silly look followed.
He had won her. So he thought. BY
and by the pretty girl called the head
waiter. and having written short note,
she babe him seek out the pretty young
man, present her compliments, and, at
the same time. the billet douX. He did
so. The pretty young man read the
note. 1t contained but four words,
"You are fool"

Gentlemen who are breeding horses
In Minnesota are now engaged in hur-
swing forward their stock, so as to have
she youngsters ready for the races at
Hamline. 1t is said that some of the
young stock is showing up in good
style and shape, and that there will be

they may be good animals, even if they
do not lower the record.

the famous China Island mission, is to
pass through st. Paul next Wednesday
afternoon on his way to China, so Major
Whittle, of Chicago, telegraphs the
Young Mems Christian association of
this city. He is accompanied by the
young Englishman StuGd. whose de-
voting himself to this work caused quite
a sensation in England some years ago.
His brother and himself and other young
men prominent in university, social and
athletic circles were converted at
Moody's meetings in London, and at
once announced their determination TO
devote themselves to missionary labor.
This China Island mission is peculiar
ly independent missionary enterprise.
1t is under no denominational or specific
ecclesiastical control, and numbers 266
members, divided into missionaries and
their wives, colpOrteurs, unmarried
Bible readers, etc. They
go into the interior provinces, all wear
ing the Chinese costume, and not more
than two together, very often alone.
Messrs. Taylor and Studd, who are to
visit st. Paul, have been attending the
all worlds missionary conference, the
Moody summer school at Northfield,
and holding a convention at Chicago.
