RUTH AND LANES.

Society was rather dull in st. Paul
and Minneapolis during the past week,
and the periodic review of its dolngs
which appeared in the local papers yes
terday morning did not present its
usual volume of avoirdupois. Some in
tereSting tidings have come from abroad,
however, and about some important
people. From New York, for one thing,
we have learned that Miss RUTH CLEVE-
LAND has left the city for the winter.
Although this is that gifted young wom-
ans first season in society, she has al
ready wearied of the noise of the ave-
nue. and the ceaselesS round of calls and
receptions. She has expressed prefer
ence for the seclusiOn of a select but
fashionable winter resort, and, as every
thing that she says goes, she and her
family will be found for some months at
Lakewood, n. j. She will be much
missed in the metropolis, where she has
many admirers, and where her presence
has been boon to all dealers in such
commodities as are adapted to her years
and tastes.
Another piece of gossip halls from
South Dakota, and concerns that we'll
known and very popular young society
man. JAMES q. BLAINE Ill. Mr..
BLAINE IS resident of Sioux Falls,
but has, on one or two occasions, So
journed for a couple of days at time in
st. Paul. He has not many acquaint-
ances here, but those who have met
him speak highly of his personal APP
pearance, his courteous bearing and
attractive manners. His wearing ap-
parel has also been much admired in
various places as of. pattern very be-
coming to his figure. and worthy of i'm
itation by others OF his build and time
of life. If, however, any banking on
him as model have invested extern
Syely IN garments of the style and
texture he has heretofore affected, thev
are doomed to much disappointment,
and some pecuniary loss. This is quite
straight, because the latest news about
him is to the effect that, having reached
the mature age of three years and a
half, he has put away childish things,
and appeared in pair of trousers. The
conventional comment under such cir
cumstances is: How time flies"
The horn from which prophets are
anointed was sadly depleted or diluted
as to its contents before it was tipped
over the GLOBES precious brow, and
this paper would probably be off year
or two if it should undertake to fix the
date of the worlds ending after the
manner of Mr.. TOTTEN. But, at
shorter range, it claims to belong at
least to the same class as EZEKIEL, or,
at any rate, as some of the minor clair
vOyants who followed him, and whose
names it does not at this moment re-
call. Confident of its powers in this
direction, it makes bold to predict that,
if the man from Maine and the Illus
triOuS Democratic eX-president are pit
ted against each other for the highest
honorS in 1892, Miss RUTH CLEVELAND
and JAMES q. BLAl NE III. will be i'm
portant factors in the campaign. They
may not be much talked about on the
stump or suffer the embarrassment of
extensive and frequent editorial no
tees; but the fathers and the mothers
of this land who love their offspring,
and rightly count domestic happiness
and fidelity of higher value than the
rewards of ambition or the possession
of great wealth, will contrast the lot of
the dear little girl sleeping in her cradle
at Lakewood with that of the young
boy who bears his grandfather's feat
ures and name, and is merry in spite of
the fact that he is living among strau-
gers in q SOnth Dakota viiIara PaOnIa
think about other things than the tar iff
and the currency question when they
cast their votes.
