MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

"Here I am again, and the auction
room is out of goods" was the wild cry
that was waited across the chimney pots
of Minneapolis yesterday morning. 1t
was "Old Hoss"-Van Antwerp. He
had just arrived in the city, fresh from
the asphalt pavements of Washington,

the sunny South seem not to have
agreed with the delicate organism OF
"Old Hoss," and he would look we'll in
rendering establishments, he is
SO thin, but he expects to
recuperate in the invigorating climate
of Minnesota. The ''city of magnificent
distances is so large. Van says, that it
works man too hard when he has to
''cover" the whole town. Van Ant
werp's mustache is larger than of yore,
but he is still a gay boy; He He, wears year "a
sash which, he says, Is affected "by all
of US fellows, Tom Reed and all of u.s."

The Bijou theater is becoming the
salvation of the amateur actors. Last
night as the patrons of that house al
lowed their eyes to wander over the
programme they we're surprised to see
such well-known gentlemen as Ed w.
Murphy, Mike Breslauer, John Ho-
garth and j. Paige Smith billed in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" The acting of
Messrs. Breslauer and Murphy de-
serves special mention. MIR. Muir
ply, who is well known locally
IS the president of the l.. PIT
club, enacted the part of the auctioneer
with spirit and hammer. He could
not, however, get over certain appear
ance of senSitiyeness, wholly foreign to
the part, when he came to dispose of
"Emmeline" and her mother. 'Mr.
Murphy has a tender heart" an adj
mirer was heard to murmur. Mr.. BreS-
lauer was cast for the part of "Haley, a
tough character" which is quite an i'm
portant role for a beginner. Mr.. Bres-
lauer did not make up for the part at
ali, but, in the language of an enthusi-
astic auditor, he played it ''out of
sight" Such talent deserves encOur-
agement.
Supt. Porter has really ordered a re-
count of Minneapolis, which Ed Daven-
port said would not be done. Now, 1t
behooves Ed to step in and secure an
injunction or he will be accused of I'M
reliability.
The editor of the Times complains
that another paper, instead of meeting
personal attack upon him, and then
comes back at that paper with these
'arguments": 1.-THE flannel-mouthed
bogtrotter"; "egotistical, ignorant dupes
of a pagan-bOrn and Semi-barbarOus
eccleSiasticiSm"; ''our bogtrotting con-
temporary" How do they strike you
as arguments, promulgated by paper
which OStentatiOuSly announces itself
as the organ of the intelligent people of
the nineteenth century?
