A Tame Gorilla.

An English trader at Ngove, on the
southern coast of Afarica, had had
for some time young female gorilla
whose docility is described as most
remarkable. Jenny, as the baby gor-
lila has been named sleeps with her
master, and tries to follow him
wherever he goes, weeping like a
child if left behind. She recently &C
companied him Oh a journey of twen-
ty miles or more, walking all the
way. She acquired many civilized
tastes and habits, and will drink
tea, ETC., out of a cup or glass display
ing the utmost carefulness not to
break the vessel.-Montreal Star.

San Antonio is put upon her honor now to
raise that money for the Asylum site. The
transfer has been actually made, and the two
Mitchell for 500 acres and the other by
Mitchell and Poor for 15l, making the $40 acres
required, the price named in the transfer
being $4,000. The state now owns the prop
erty and the former owners look to In good
faith and justice and honor of this county to
see that they are not left. By this act these
gentlemen have secured benefit for this city
that will not become imperative after the
buildings are erected and the institution un-
der way, but which will continue to benefit
from year to year. About $1,000 of the pur.
chase money is yet to be raised.

Where Corn Is King.

SIOUX CITY, October 26.-The In
ternational American excursion train
reached Sioux City this morning
aboutS o'clock. Breakfast was had
on the train, which was surrounded
by a crowd Of people. Just before 8
o'clock the local reception committee
took the party in charge and escorted
them to the opera house. Here Mayor
Cleveland and Gov. Larrabee well
coined to the city the guests, and in
troduced Senator Allison, who said
the delegates were now within the
great corn producing region. Here
corn was king. The people of the
United States had watched with
great interest, the development of
South and ntral America; each con-
tinent produced something not pro-
duced by the other, one trouble we
have had in past was to secure CON-
munication; we must cross and re-
GROSS the Atlantic ocean, but we were
now ready to esta blish lines of direct
communicat on. He also hoped that
in the near future the oceans might
be united by canal which would bring
the people of America even nearer to-
gether.
Senior Silva, of Columbia, in re-
Spouse, said it was cause for lively
satisfaction that the address of well
come should have been made by one
80 prominent as Senator Allison. He
truly represented the people and his
amiable expressions were the faithful
echoes of the sentiments of those
whose name he spoke. The dele
gates vocabulary of thanks was real
ly exhausted but their hearts reveal
ed from day to day a sentiment of
ffaternal sympathy of esteem for
the people of this great republic.

THE st. Louis Republic is looking
for democratic flop in the republican

November and found 80, 900 republic

have looked for it ever since the Re-
public drew its milk of inspiration
from the breasts of disloyalty, but it
has looked in vain. Some of these
days the democracy will open their
eyes to the real situation in Iowa and
exclaim as they sit in desolation of

"NEITHER do condemn thee" is
a teaching of the Christ too often for
gotten by his followers in this day.
The Peoples Tabernacle and Con-
gregational church of st. Louis is no
exception to this rule. 1t seems that
one of the brethren made little too
free with some funds OF the society,
and the parson is seeking revenge as
we'll as redress in the courts, and
vowing to prosecute him to the bitter
end. The accused was an industrious
man who lost a good situation
through no fault of his, had wife
and three children dependant upon
him, and when death and sickness
invaded his home he drew upon the
church funds in his hands to the
amount of ST. but with no intention
of keeping the money longer than he
could earn the money to replace it.
1t would seem that the mantle of
that charity which cOvereth a multi
tude of sins might be made to cover o
transgressiOn like this. In any event
it does not make the church any
more esteemed of men or approved of
| IFS master to thus exact the uttermost
farthiDg OF delinquent brother.

The Cool Wave Fails to Material
ize and St. Paul Naturally Siz-
zies.
st. Paul was yesterday the hottest
point Oh the American continent. 1t is
absolutely useless to deny this and
quote telegraphic advices to prove its
want of truth. Nobody who spent yes
terday in the city will feel qualm of
conscience in indorsing the statement
that hot as the weather might have
been in every inhabitable spot on the
globe, it was just shade hotter here.
At that time i'll the afternoon when the
suns rays have the greatest quantity of
heat, the thermometer registered f04
deg in dense shade, and that great alti-
tude did not begin to express the actual
amount.of heat afloat in the ombient air.
The city fairly fried and sizzled I'M
der the fierce temperature and
life was scarcely worth the liv-
ing. City pastors of the strict
orthodox stripe, who were fond of de-
pictlng the terrors of the lower world of
fire, had no difficulty in making con-
verts under the heated circumstances.
Their audiences were small. however,
ana only InOSO WHOSE uOllOllS VI Glie
next life are pretty we'll settled could
be induced to turn out for divine Serv-
ices OH such day. Sinners preferred
undress uniforms in shady hooks,
though the night attendance was shade
of an Improvement.
On such an exceedingly lurid day St.
Paul is very quiet. There was rush
towards the lakes, but it was not SO
general as ordinarily the case, as thou
sands found even that eXertion unen-
durable. The very streets were de-
serted, and the driving, for which a ST..
Paul Sunday is famous. was almost en-
tirely after sunset. The average cellar
was the only spot in which life was not
altogether unlovely, and if that celler
CHANGED to be beer cellar, the agonies
of living we're ameliorated to just that
extent.
The cool wave promised by Observer
Lyons failed to materialize. 1t was an
nounced in yesterdays GLOBE, and was
anxiously awaited i'll every quarter, but
the heat was scarcely less in the even
ing, and the expected hyperborean
breath was evidently lost on its way
through Dakota.
