with ordinary beings, hsve their season.
We cannot be ever young and ever In
love "a .
peace. q splendid pageant took place IN
The capital. The sovereign, as he drove
csrelessly through the gsyly-decorated
streets, was struck by little group IN o
balcony.
II was beautiful woman, surrounded
nv her children, three little girls. each =
copy OF her mother. BY her side stood
A stalwart, sunburnod, elderly man,
whose occupation was evidently OF O
rural nature.
"Who is that lady ?" asked the sove-
reign. as the carriage passed at snail's
pace under the window.
"That lady, your Majesty" was the
reply, lis the daughter of your Males-
tvs head forester"
81 remember quite well, said the
King quickly, aroused from his letnargic
mood. "Berg, Of the Island klo.'
Exactly, your Majesty"
"And who ID her husband ?"
"a German professor, your Majesty,
whose name l don't remember.
The King glanced once st the occu-
pants Of the balcony and then sank into
a reverie. Every incident OF that island
visit now came back to him clearly as II
of Yesterday. And looking back on the
intervening years, he wished that he had
done as he said, abdicated for the sake OF
the beautiful Ermengsrde, and let love
be lord of all. eyes, life can be dull,
unsatisfactory, hardly worth living for,
even TO a king" he thought. 81 was
forced into a marriage against my Will
What is a man good for after that?
~ don't think much Of your King,
mamma" cried the eldest girl, the little
thirteen-year old Ermengarde, to her
mother "You said he was so bright
and handsome. He looks half asleep
and as if he took no interest in any
thing"
And he saw you, mamma" said the
second child. "He ought to have
stopped and spoken TO you, since he
knew you on your island
Thus the children prattled on, and
Ermengarde let them say what they
would. She had never been dissatisfied
with her lot and had never given way
to vain retrospection. But, like her
lover, she forgot nothing. Ofttimes IN
her dreaming hours she was the rose
weaver talking gayly to the Kings mes
senger. Her husband was worthy OF
her; she adored her children, but TO-
nance for her had ended on a certain
summer day fifteen years before.

uniforms, the stars, and decorations dis
appesred within the palace wslls.
"What a noble presence {" cried one
girl.
"whss an engaging smilel" said a
second.
"How handsome =" exclaimed a third.
Only thedisconcerted Ermengarde had
no word at command. In the person OF
the King she had recognized her new
friend Of yesterday.

ACren nter1 from India.

There comes from India an anecdote
about terrier who, when given bone,
was sent to eat it on the gravel drive in
front OF a bungalow. Two crows had
sought often to snatch the meat from the
dog, but had always been defeated. Fl
nally they discussed the matter in aneigh-
boring tree, after which one of them
flew down and pecked at the dogs tail,
and while the terrier was attending to
this advertisement the other one came
and seized the bone. SO sayeth the
chronicler.

stances.
Special to the Globe.
BEARDsLEY. Mimi, Jan. 25.-There
has been total blockade of the railroad
here since Dec. 30, 1887. 1t is said to
be the most severe blockade known
here for many years. In some places
the railroad track is covered with drifts
from five to fifteen feet deep, and very
hard. AT the beginning of the blockade
there was about l25 cords of wood in
town, and some coal. This is entirely
gone. Among some of the farmers it
has been necessary to burn hay, straw,
oats, and in some cases they have torn
down small buildings to burn to
keep their families from freezing.
If there is not immediate relief
there will be great suffering
here. We have received no reports of
any persons freezing in this vicinity, as
yet, but there have been several head of
cattle persisted in the billiards.. The
railroad company are working l5G men
and three engines, trying to open the
track between here and Morris, and if
the weather stays favorable, expect to
be here in a short time with wood and
coal. People have been very excited,
and threaten TO destroy cars and snow
fences to get fuel, and, if necessary,
would tear the depot down to keep their
families from freezing. With the
prospects of a train reaching here III a
day or two, the people. feel much en-
couraged. We hope the worst is passed.
The public schools have been closed on
account of no fuel.

ON TO BROWNS VALLEY.
Two Hundred Men at Work Try
ing to Raise the Blockade.

1.-TWO hundred men are at work on
the road leading to Browns Valley"
said Senator ID. S. Hall, land have
reached Graceville, halfway between
Morris and the valley. They are well
supplied with all necessary appliances
for clearing away the snow, but owing
to the direction in which the railroad
runs, east and west, what they do to-
day may be undOne tomorrow and the
snow packed in behind them. But we
are hopeful of their efforts to reach the
people of that section, whose principal
need at present seems to be fuel. Re-
ports have been rife for some days past
of great distress on this account, and in
some instances four or five families
have been stated as living together and
burning straw aud other forage as a
temporary makeshift. Browns Valley
is pretty thickly populated and was well
settled before the railroads went into
operation. and despite the drawbacks
caused by the snow blockade and other
effects from the cold snap, the roads are
making good progress and deserve
credit for their efforts to relieve the
people along their line. Several cases
have been reported of persons being

Blaine is still the favorite, although we
are trying to keep comfortable now and

THOSE MILK RATES.
Argument on the Test Questions
As to the Powers of the Railway
Commission.

Argument on the Test Questions
Commission.
The celebrated milk cases came up
before the supreme court yesterday
morning, the full bench being in at
tendance. The case was brought by
the railroad commissioners, to compel
the Milwaukee railroad to adopt certain
rates for the transportation OF milk
from Owatonna, Faribault, Mortified,
DundaS, Pennington and other points
via the Iowa d Minnesota division of
the Milwaukee to Minneapolis and st.
Paul. The railroad company refused to
adopt the rates ordered by the cOmmiS-
SiOnerS. on the ground that, first, the
court has no jurisdiction over the mat
ter; second, that the law is unconStitu-
tiOnal, as delegating power TO the COM
mission; and, third, that the rates fixed
by the commission can be reviewed by
the courts.
The commissioners. on the other hand,
claimed: first, that the court is clothed
with jurisdiction to compel compliance
with the action Of the commissioners in
fixing rates; second, that the power con-
ferred OH the commission is a conStitu-
tional one; and third, that the rates
fixed by them are final and not subject
to review by the courts.
The case was opened by Attorney
General Clapp. who consumed the fore
noon in clearly presenting and elo-
quently arguing the case. He was fol-
lowed by Hon. \. ID. Reyes, who pre-
scented further arguments i'll behalf of
the commission. Gen. Carey, general
solicitor, and Attorney Norris, of Min
neapOlis. the Minnesota solicitor of the
road, then delivered able arguments for
the company. The argument was
closed by j. NJ. Burlingame, who also
defended the commissioners.
