son was detailed for picket duty-Col.
Bend desiring to work out some new
tangled notion which had entered his
fertile brain. Iverson patiently
stood at his post for SIX hours
and became almost ravenous
with hunger. He longingly conjured
up the steaming dish of hot victuals
which would have greeted him if only
he was at home, and, with thinking
about it, the QualmS of nature over
came his sense of duty. Quarter of a
mile distant he espied small hosiery,
and at break-neck pace he started for
it. He landed, secured a pot of ale and
some sausage, and without delay re-
turned to his post, where he continued
for another hour.
: The proprietor of prominent city
millinery establishment returned. this
week from visit to London and Paris,
and, speaking of American shoppers
abroad, gives the following as coming
from Paris dressmaker: 'Ze Boston
lady. OH she is very easy; we
ladies have bought. Re New York
that the English lady have not bought,
Lyons and Marseilles, what will you?
or to some New York ladies we sell re
fanciful thing, re dress for re chateau,
and Zey call it re street dress, figure that
to yourself! But to the Chicago lady
we sell re thing Eat re English lady will
not look at, and which re st. Paul lady
regard with looks alright and at which
re Minneapolis lady scream. All, we
know zem ALL" And they do, as all the
returned ''innocents abroad will cheer
fully testify.
Rev. Joseph Guernon, of the Kings
Own Brotherhood, despite his peculiar
leanings, is man of high intellectual
attainments. He is well liked by his
own little sect, which gives promise to
increase than decline, as prophesied by
its enemies. There are large number
of people ever ready to identify them
selves with any religious fad-the more
eccentric are its professors the greater
Is the charm to become affiliated
with the sect Mr.. GuernOn will
leave for short vacation tomorrow.

tons, but they have every Sunday in
which to rest, while clergyman in a
large parish, must be busy all the seven
DAYS of the week. | do not, however,
believe in taking a vacation from wor-
ship, and | should not like to think
that any of my people would absent
themselves from worship during their
vacation. That would be like the
little girl who prayed: Good by God,
we are going into the country. n
Secretary of State Mattson receives
many strange applications for informa-
ton. There was one the past week,
coming from Capt. Brinkhimer, of Van
couver Barracks, who is investing the
subject of martial law in this country.
Col. Mattson was requested to supply
him with information respecting the APP
plication of martial law in this state.
Mr.. Brinkhimer, will, however, learn
and it may interest the state to know
that in the history of Minnesota, both as
q territory and state, the occasion has
never yet arisen for the application of
such drastic measures as those covered
by the two WordS-martial law.
When will the end come? The citizens
of the state may we'll ask this question
in regard to the source of the Missis-
sippi and the Investigations OF Prof. j..
V. Brewers. This gentleman has made
four visits to the Itascan region, but
still is unprepared to furnish the report
which is to knock Capt. Willard Glazier
into a cocked-hat. Meanwhile Prof.
Fletcher Williams, of the historical So
ciety, is in state of perpetual sweat.
The object of his life is to unmask
Capt. GlaZier, and he chafes like mos
qufto,worried hotel proprietor at the
dilly-dallyng of DR.. Brewers. All this
delay merely creates distrust among
the people, and lends color to Capt.
Glaciers pretentious claim as the dis
coverer of the source of the Father OF
Waters.
For time, at least, ex-Deputy Insur-
Ance Commissioner Todd will quit
troubling Gov. Merriam with his tongue
or pen-"that bitter tongue and caustic
PEN" as his eXcellency puts it. Mr..
Todd will bury himself in Minneapolis,
where tomorrow he will launch his
modest bark into the turgid waters of
insurance policies.
Secretary Tallmadge, of the chamber
of commerce, will find he has under
taken by no means easy task to super
intend the children'S day at the State
Fair Fancy to superintend and cater
for the wishes of 10000 children! The
suggestion has been made that the
children should be massed on the
grand stands and lull the wlldS of Ham
line with the harmony of songs. But
there is a great difficulty to this. in Mr..
Tallmadge's mind. How is it possible
to get the children to sing one tune
without preparatory training or instruc-
ton? Instead of lulling the wilds with
harmony, the discord created would
drive away what little veStige of crea-
ton there remains.
Rev. Sydney G. Jeffords, assistant
priest of Christ church, will leave the
city for Peoria. ILL.,, Thursday next,
where he recently accepted call. Mr..
JeffordS has labored in Christ church
parish four years, latterly having full
charge of the mission churches at Mer-
RAM Park, Randolph street and White
Bear.

So he rolled across the street to a
