Hon. WILLIAM WINDOWS name is being
freely used in connection with the treas
ury portfolio, under the incoming admin
istration. Minnesota has never had a
statesman in whom she has had occas-
sion to feel deeper pride or one who has
added more luster TO her fair name than
Mr.. Window. AS senator he was rep
resentative whose influence was felt on
the right side of all the broader questions
OF national polity, and the government
is indebted to him for one of the most
brilliant financial measures IN political
history-the refunding of maturing bond
ed indebtedness at a much lower rate of
interest without material cost. Mr..
Window has demonstrated his eminent
fitness for the position.

There are now on the pay roll OF the
house forty-eight clerks and employees.
They cost the state $21O per day. Tween
ty-nine of them draw SIS per day, ten OF
them So per day, seven of them $3.50 per
day, one $40, and one 81, per day. Some
of them of course are necessary, but
large part of the committee clerks are
given positions, not for the necessity OF
their services, but so that they may draw
the SIS per diem. Some Of the committees
to which clerks are attached have not
had a meeting since the appointment,
and the majority fthem have not nor will
have work enough for a clerk. Here is
where the house had better begin its
work of economy.-Pioneer Press.

Two prisoners, John Speth and Geo. B.
Rckel, confined in the Todd county Jail
awaiting trial at the coming term of
court, escaped this evening. Warden
Booth went into the Jail, and leaving
the ontside door unlocked, stepped into
the cage with a bucket of water. The
prisoners were in the corridor at the
time and took advantage of their oppor-
tunity to get away. Hastily closing the
cage door and fastening Mr.. Booth in
side they hurried out of doors. The war
den yelled and pounded until few min
utes later, when the sheriff's family heard
him and went to his aid. AS we go to
press this morning we learn that our vii
lage marshall, c. E. Harkens, has over
taken and caught the runaway prisoners

A wreath of ssrpents.

Jere Fenton, Of South Orange, y. j., has
hanging up in his barn an ornament of
which he is rather proud. He does not
bring it into the house because he has been
advised that the heat of the stoves would,
In all probability, cause it TO change its
nature obiectionably. 1t has the appear
ance of wreath woven of cords of varie-
gated colors, and, as it hangs on a tenpenny
nail driven into the wall, it attracts a
great deal of attention. 1t is about nine
inches in diameter and perfectly circular
in shape.
One chilly morning about six weeks ago
Mr. Fenton found il lying half buried in
the fallen leaves at the foot of beach tree
in a small wood near his house. He lifted
it up and playfully fitted it on the head of
his little nine-year-old daughter, who was
walking with him, but the child had no
fancy for the adornment. 1t had cold.
clammy feeling as it touched her forehead.
and she hastily shook it off Her father
then examined it more closely, and was
amazed to find that what he supposed 10
be wreath was in reality something very
much like a double-headed snake Ger
tainly there were two serpents' heads di-
rectly opposite each other on the circular
band ; but Mr.. Fenton soon perceived that
each head had a separate body, and that
two snakes had mixed themselves up to-
gether and sunk into torpid condition foI
| the winter.
Their tails were not visible because each
had swallowed the caudal extremity and
as much of the body Of the other as il
could cram down its throat. Mr.. Fentou
thinks that if the present mild weather
lasts the reptiles will cast off their torpol
