OTHER DAYS.

Sweet as the sound Of music
Cleaving the midnight air,
Thrilling the solemn silence
And echoing faint and rare.
Sweet as the star of evening
Glimmering thro' haze
o sweet are oldeu memories
Aud the thoughts Of other days
Dear as the withered flower.
Memento OF the dead
Dear as the lifeless body
In the quiet churchyard bsd.
Dear as the hope of meeting
The loved, mid heavens rays,
So dear are olden memories
And the thoughts of other days.
The heart grows warm and tender
The ewes are blurred with tears,
As the past sweeps like the iioodtide'
Bearing the drift Of the years
The soul grows faint with longing
To tread the lost days maze,
Asit dreams Of the olden memories
And the thoughts of other days.

Commissioner Ives, in making public

following statement: Samples of
vinegar, etc., have been analyzed by
the officials of the Dairy and Food COM
mission. and statements of their results
furnished the parties. Dealers are
cautioned against giving undue promi-
nence to such statements, since they
merely express the character of the in
dividuai samples submitted. and in no
sense carry the the slightest indorse-
ment of such parties goods. The anal
Uses reported shows that certain firms
of vinegar manufacturers are selling to
the people of the state, large quantities
of spurious or imitation cider vinegars,
made from the exhausted pumace,
the apple juice or cider having been
expressed. Such vinegars will not con-
form to to the statute which defines
cider vinegar, as the legitimate product
of pure apple juice, known as apple
cider, and if its sale is persisted in after
due warning has been given, steps will
be taken to enforce the penalties pre-

Delphine's Spouse Disliked Cur
tain Lectures.

Dclpn1ne'S spouse DiSIlk ell Cuf-
tain Lectures.
Delphine Lanquette. pretty black
eyed French woman, appeared in Judge
Brill's court yesterday as the plaintiff
in an interesting divorce case. Her
husband. George N. Lanquette, is con-
testing the suit, which is being bitterly
fought. The wife is just thirty-one
years of age, while the husband is thir-
ty-nine. They entered into the holy
bonds of matrimOny at Cohoes, n. Y,
on October II, 1876 Yesterday, when
Mrs. Lanquette was placed on the wit
ness stand, she said that her husband
was a very bold, bad man. He would
come home late at night and daily with
the furniture in such fOrcible way
that it would sometimes fall into splint-
erS. And he had gentle habit of pull
ing his Wife'S hair and scratching her
face. Now and then he would pose as
follower of the illustriOus John l.. and
have a round or two with his better
half. Mrs. Z. KansellO, an obese, red
faced proprietress of fruit stand, took
the stand and told all about how MIR.
Lanquette made love to her in former
days. She was gushing widow at the
time, and was in blisSful ignorance of
the fact that her Romeo was married
man. She said that she and George had
it all "fiXed" to get married, but never
carried out the arrangements. Mr..
Lanquette's testimony was denial of
each and every charge brought against
him by his wife. He admitted that he
did not go home at all some nights. and
stated that his reason for remaining
away was because his wife talked so
muph that he cOuidn't SlePD.

tie Teeple, of st. Paul, acted as Secre-
tary. Mrs. Foster delivered an address
of welcome on behalf of the Christian
chapel. which was responded to by Mrs.

cupied very largely in listening to COM
mittee reports, which followed the an
nual address of the president and the
report of the state secretary, Mrs. Q. b.
Teeple, of st. Paul. The reports in
cluded those Of the district managers,
auxilaries, children'S board and ladies'

The morning session closed with an
| admirable address by Rev. s. G. Smith,
of the Peoples church. Devotional ex-
ercises in the afternoon were led by
Mrs. A. T. Ankeny, Minneapolis. Miss
Choate read a paper showing the re-
| sponsibility of ministers TO the society,
and Mrs. Pier gave Bible reading to
show how best to influence our chill
dren to work for Christ. The feature
of the day was a talk on missionary
work in India, by Mrs. Mitchell. now OF
Duluth, who spent eight years IN the
| field. Religious exercises were held IN
the evening and sermon preached by

John w. Best Assaulted and
Robbed by HighWaymen.

hOODeu ny hiSHW ssJ tuth'
J. w. Best, a proof reader on the
GLOBE, is an ardent supporter of the
cry for additional patrolmen in st.
Paul as the result of thrilling piece of
experience he obtained about | a. m.
Yesterday. About that time he was
passing the Edison electric light works
on Cedar street, and entirely unmindful
of danger. AS he passed the wagon
arch three men sprung upon him. and
before he could realize his situation he
was thumped out of all consciousness.
One of the aSSailants seized him by the
throat, another struck him in the face
and arm with life preSeryer." and a
third menaced him with revolver
and kicked him in the pit
of the stomach to prevent an
outcry. 1t passed so quickly
Best scarcely knew he was hurt until
he found himself lying alone on the
sidewalk, bathed in blood and minus
his valuable gold watch and chain and
his loose change. In his inside vest
pocket was roll of bills which the
thugs overlooked, but they got about 81
in change and watch and chain worth
$40.
The locality mentioned is dark. de-
serted and altogether suited to such a
crime. The men were evidently in
waiting for victims, as the street was a
new route home for Best and one he
will not be likely to take again in a
hurry
