MINNEAPOLIS.
NOTE AND COMMENT.

A withered little figure wandered up
Fourth street yesterday as the shades of
night began to fall. and lifted a wan,
prayerfuI, appealing face TO the storm
which beat upon its careWorn features.
A battered hat was on the figures head,
and clothes, which once were fine and
fashionable, fell around the shrunken
limbs. On it tOttered, and. as it went,
the bloodless lips uttered these words:
Come what may. | have done me
duty to ME country"
1t was Lac Stafford returning from
fory-eight hours sojourn in jury
room.
waiter, bring me steak. and have
it blood rare. Blood rare, do you hear
If it isn't so rare that the bright red cor
puscles can be seen floating through the
gore | don't want it. want SO much
blood that can see 1t foam:
Bring me pitcher full OF
nitric acid to drink with it, and a dozen
red peppers for dessert. Then provide
me with a dozen Roman candles of the
largest size for an after-dinner smoke"
The above was an order given to q
waiter in fashionable restaurant yes
terday. Everybody turned to look at
the speaker, surprised at the fiery nat
ure of the repast. But their surprise
vanished when they saw that the &C.
centric diner was the One-hOrse-pOWer
editor of the Tribune. And as he bent
over his repast he was heard to mutter:
Il must prime myself for that article
which ! am going to write for the morn
ing's paper"
1t is given out that Ii. 3. Hudson,
WIN, for nearly year. ever since the
Tribune was repurchased by a. j.
Blethen, has presided over the assign
ment book of the Morning Tribune as
city editor. has severed his connection
with the paper. His place as city ed
itOr will be filled by Mi. Jermane, for
Welles will, for the present at least, oc-
cupy the chair of assistant city editor.
After the Buchan-Anderson bout al
pistol practice. and the perforation of
Ed Gains leg by bullet, probably 1856
persons i'm Minneapolis propheSied an
other shooting atfray. 1t came. Now
there have been two suicides, and the
same persons will assert that the papers
will chronicle another case OF self
destruction.
The Times humorist should put him
self in communication with Gen. Greedy
and avoid perpetrating May-day jokes
when the ground is white with snow.
Again the attention Of f. J. Daven-
port is called to the alarming rate at
which Minneapolis population is being
reduced. As suggestion TO &. j., why
not enumerate all those who were alive
in Minneapolis April l?
If the police should receive inquiries
from anxious mammals tonight, asking
If any lost boys has been found, they
should refer the QuestiOnerS to the Har-
Tis theat 7.

other luXuriant trappings, is feared
he will take to wearing smoking cap
next.
