as it is sometimes called, revolutionary period
Of American history.

officials and president-elect proceeded to the
platform at the east 'front.' The long process
sion extended almost entirely around the Capt.
toll and far up the adjacent street, there not
being room enough to approach the east front.
Gen. Grant then took the oath of office and
read his inaugural, but in SO low voice that
it was only heard by those nearest to him,
and frequently interrupted by prolonged
cheers from the crowd.
1t was unanimously agreed by the military
authorities, officials and political friends Of
Gen. Grant, that his second Inauguration,
March 4, 1878, should be even more impress
sive than the frst-far more impressive than
that of any preceding president; but the day
was singularly unpropitious and the suffer-
ing was simply intense. The attendance Of
military, both regular and volunteer, was
very large, and Pennsylvania avenue was
packed on both sides, as before, with an i'm
mense crowd All the proceedings were di-
rected by the signal corps officers, who
were stationed on all the commanding build
ings, even upon the Capitol But from dawn
till dark the wind blew from the northwest
with a violence amounting to a gale. The
cadets from West Point and from the naval
academy at Annapolis were specially commits
Grated, as they had not prepared for such ex-
treme weather. Their suffering was very
great, and including them, the rest of the
military and the spectators, it s estimated
that many scores of deaths were caused by
exposure on that day. The ceremonies were
almost identical with those of four years
before. The oath of Office was administered
by the new chief justice, Morrison r. Waite.

Curses loud and deep were heard
from patrons of the cable line yester-
day: but the day was lovely and walk
ing excellent. and disappointed ones
were satisfied when Informed that cars
were not running to permit the laying
of a new cable. The old cable had been
in use a little more than year, and
showed signs of wear, and public safety
demanded its removal. The old cable
was cut at the Broadway terminus of
the line, and one end was spliced to the
new steel rope that was on monstrous
reel near by. The engine at the
power house was run at slow
speed, drawing the new cable
into the slot, while the discarded
rope was wound on an empty reel that
was conveniently near. Men were sta
toned all along the line to prevent the
cable from becoming twisted or doubled
wound on the empty reel by means of
several teams of horses that pulled the
wire rope from its place of concealment,
and men working the reel slowly wound
it in proper shape on the reel, 1t was
late in the afternoon before the new
rope was laid and the work of splicing
the two ends was performed at the
power house on Selby avenue. The
new cable is five miles long, an inch
and quarter in diameter and weighs
$4,000 pounds. Nearly one hundred
and fifty men were employed all day in
performing the task,

1t was early yesterday morning, and
party of real tough youths who had
probably been tinting the bailiwick to
the extent of bottle or two of ginger
ale and several games of checkers in a
downtown saloon, were returning to
their downy couches on st. Anthony
hill. Passing up West Sixth street,
with a great deal of noise. they ap-
parently owned pretty nearly every
thing in sight, and it was not until
Officer Filllngim was observed OH the
opposite side of the street that there
was any Indication that they had not a
life lease on a large section of the
earth's surface.
"Be quiet: there's policeman said
one.
'Oh. never mind him." returned an
other; ''let the - come
over here, and I'll shoot him!'
The faithful "copper" had been on
his beat since O'Clock looking for pre-
cisely that kind of a game, and when
he crossed to the other side of the
street he was not filled with cold lead,
bus Frank Thompson was escorted to
the central station and assigned to a
cell as "drulk and diS0rderly." He
was given several hours in which to
muse over the mutability of human
affairs, and when he was finally re-
leased on bail, a pampered child of
luxury wendell his way home with a
large wad of rich. dark brown expert
ence and an exalted opinion of the St

St. Paul Liberals WrestIe With
the Chinese Problem.

A small club has been formed by a
number of ladies and gentlemen call
ing themselves Liberals" for the dis
cuSsiOn of current topics of interest.
As the name Liberal" implies, the
topics discussed are varied and the
members profess all or no sorts of
creeds. The majority are agnostics,
but no bar of a religious nature is placed
upon any one. and the discussions are
of social and informal nature. The
members meet Sunday evenings at-each
others houses, where a very pleasant
and highly instructive time is spent.
Last evening the meeting was at the
residence of Mr.. Monroe, 533 Broad
way. and the question. -sShail
We Admit the Chinese?" was
discussed at some length. Mr..
Monroe made strong speech in favor
of the Chinese, quoting at length from
the writings of the best posted travel
ers and authorities to show that the
standard Of education in China is far
higher than in America. Government
appointments are made without regard
to birth or station, by system of COM
petitive examinations, which are of the
most practical and rigorous nature, and
are the only means of civil service
advancement. The government schools
are the finest educational establish
ments in the world. The artisans are
the most skillful mechanics produced
Oh earth. The morality of the country
is very high considering the peculiar
systems of marriage. Mr.. Monroe's
argument went to show that the aver
age Chinaman was eminently calcula-
ted to become valuable addition to
the community. Several others made
speeches pro and con, and strong argu-
ments were advanced on both sides.
The principal one against the admis-
sion of the Chinese was the impossible
ity of amalgamation by marriage. One
gentleman suggested that we had better
get the negro problem off our hands be-
fore introducing another distinct and
unassimiIable race. Several of the
speeches showed considerable study
and thought on the question, and the
meeting was not only enjoyable, but

The Peculiar Experience of a
Chorus Singer Arrested for Be-
ing Drunk

A real funny Englishman is Arthur
Hill, and funny experience he had
Saturday night. Filled to the necktie
with good American bulge he was ush-
cred to the central police station by
Officer Sexton, and although he passed
under the statue of Liberty Enlighten-
ing the World long enough since to
have his naturalization papers, was
the funniest bloomin' experience he had
had IN the ''blawsted country, b. JOve."
His risibilities were provoked to that
extent that he continued to laugh even
after he was assigned to a berth in a
rank smelling cell in close proximity to
a dizzy old vag whose snoring would
put the noise of Wisconsin sawmill to
shame; and il was not until an ac-
quaintance hunted him up and re-
minded him of his engagement
as member of the choir of a
fashionable church on Fourth street to
sing at the morning service that he
looked at the situation in serious
light. Some lively hustling was then
done to raise the necessary amount OF
bail, and as the veil of night was lifting
and the cocks crowed their Sabbath
morning greeting, chorister, with a
large jag still on, passed out into the
morning air to hunt up his hymn book
and his 9arb of black.

lage Government and Adequate
Fire Protection.
The citizens of st. Paul Park are pre-
pairing to secure needed improvements
and better system Of fire protection.
At meeting, at which about 100 resi-
dents of st. Paul Park were in attend
ance, letters in answer to inquiries as
to the most desirable systems of fire pro-
lection were read from the chiefs
of the Chicago and st. Paul
departments. The former suggested
the use of reservoirs and piping, and the
latter suggested that tanks and hose,
together with small steamer and
chemical, would be desirable for their
purposes. One result of the meeting
was a movement towards the incOrpora-
ton of st. Paul Park under village
charter, and a committee was appointed
to proceed in this direction. Such an
organization, it appeared, would
enable the officers to arrange
for the purchase of such steam
fire apparatus and hose as is needed,
and for the building of tanks and other
improvements. While it will take con-
siderable time to put their affairs in
shape so as to carry out these inten-
tiOns, the citizens appear to be deter
mined to keep up with other localities
in these matters, especially in providing
adequate fire protection, and thereby
leSsening the cost OF insurance.

CAPT. O'BRlEN'S CAPERS.
Barnum's Educated Seal in the
Role Of an Evangelist.

Salvation hall, on Jackson street, was
packed last evening. when Staff Capt.
0'Brien, who formerly did the .'edu-
Gated seal act'' in connection with Bar
NUNS menagerie, related his expert
ences. After considerable shouting
and swinging of arms-during which
time the captain, whose arms were
occupied in holding on to a pair of
crutches, made wild gestures with his
legs, OF rather the fiipperS from
which he derived his income
when in the seal business
the converted seal'' arose and adj
dressed the crowd. He returned thanks
for variety of intangible blessings,
and also remarked that he was particu
larly thankful he wasn't Jay Gould.
"Who is Jay Gould?" shouted the
captain; "what has he done more than /
have?" He's got coat and pair of
pants OF two, and maybe few dollars
to spend. -''-'
"Well, I've got. coat, and vest, and
various other things, and l get three
square meals day.
PUT her there for ninety days." re-
marked an unshaved Individual in the
back part of the hall; you're doing
better than / am.''
AT the conclusion of the address
there was some more singing and a
tambourine chorus, with words some
thing like the following:
They call me Happy Eliza,
And converted Jane:
- We've ali been bad ones in our time,
But We'll never go wrong again.
Now won't you come and join us:
We're easily understood,
We're hallefujah sisters,
And we're bound to do YOU good
During the singing of the chorus the
captain gave fresh evidences of his
agility, dancing all over the platform at
a lively rate. An announcement was
made that an additional collection would
be taken up on behalf of the lame and
disfigured officers Of the army. One of
the color sergeants made touching APP
peal on behalf of the persons mentioned,
and wound up with a request that all
present who would give dollar for the
maintenance of the needy officials should
hold up their hands. No hands ap-
peared and the sergeant, by carefully
graded scale. descended to Decent
basis, at which collection amounting
to $40 was taken up. After a scathing
harangue against the press, the con-
verified seal proceeded to give his eX-
periences and the history of his some
what checkered career. 1t was the old.
| old story. A boy, but in this instance a
legless boy, who ran away from home,
fell into evil practices, did two years
and half of good hard time in the
Maine penitentiary. and, falling under
the watchful eye of the great and only
Barnum, was clad in a rubber suit and
palmed off on too cOnfidlng public as
a freak OF nature, part seal and part
man.

TASTED FORTY DAYS.
A COlOred Woman Has a Vision
and Accompanies a Difficult
Feat

feat.
SPRINGFIELD, H., March 10-On Jan.
%, Mrs. Paulina King, colored woman
of this city, had vision" in which she
was commanded by the Lord to fast
forty days and forty nights. Being a
religious fanatic, she entered upon
what seemed to her plain duty, with
perfect faith that she would pass
through the ordeal and that the LORD
would be glorified. There seems to be
little doubt that the order was carried
out. For the first seven days she drank
no water, even. Then the Lord APP
peared to her again and commanded
her.tO drink. From that time on she took
water, until the 27th of February, but
since then she has drank nothing until
Yesterday, when her long fast ended.
The event was made the occasion of
feast and merrymaking, which attracted
the feast was held. The. negroes
brought in food in considerable abund-
ance, and Mrs. King made a good square
meal of oysters, cold turkey. ham and
other substantials. which she seemed
to enjoy greatly. During the progress
OF the AFFAIR hymns were sung. talks
made. and two or three negro women
went into frances. When Mrs.
King entered upon her fast
she weighed about 1873 pounds.
A day or two ago she tipped the balance
at eighty-nine. She is much emaciated,
but declares she did not suffer parti-
Gle during her fast. and had no desire
fol. food. Her strength remained with
her. and she did her washing and iron
ing and performed her usual household
duties without inconvenience. She pro-
poses now to become an evangelist and
to go forth and do the Masters work in
thirty-six years of age and has hus-
] band and two children. She commenced
TO have''visions" about three years ago.
She is illiterate, but quotes Scripture
