IIhe reports from other cities indicate a

ing and boots and shoes are dull. At
s,Detroit, trade improves, with good man
,ufacturing demand for iron, and funds
gong into the country for wheat. AT
CINCINNATI, trade is fairly active, with
the whiskey business in good condition.
Chicago, the week was one of

600 head. AT Milwaukee, general bust
ness is good. AT Minneapolis, trade is
esnecially brisk in -four, the output be-
ing 10000 barrels against 100000 last

Ever the Same.

When Commodore Billings and Mr..
Main were on the river Kahima they
had for attendant a young man from
Kanoga, an island between Kamschat-
ka and North America. One day Mr..
Main asked him, What will the saw
ages do to me If fall into their
powerp
Sir" said the youth, ''you will
never fall into their power if remain
with you. always carry sharp
knife, and if see you pursued and un.
able to escape l will plunge my knife
into your heart, then the savages can
do nothing to you"
This recalls the words of the French
knight reported by Joinville. Swear
to me, said Queen Margaret, that if
the Saracens become masters of Dam
ietta you will cut off my head before
they can take me-"
"Willingly," returned the knight
~ had already thought of doing so if
the contingency arrived" - All the

Perhaps one Of the happiest Of the
long list of marriages between Amen-
can girls and foreigners is that OF the
eldest daughter Of General Edward
Beale. now the wife Of Mr. Bakhmetieh,
of Russia, secretary Of legation at Attn
ems Twelve or thirteen years ago, as
an attache of the Russian legation, the
Young foreigner met and at once fell
desperately in love with Miss Beale.
The young people carried on their love
making under the cover Of friendly
darkness. in Lafayette square, Wash
ington.
One night the watchman went his
rounds. as usual, and, thinking the
square TO be empty, carefully locked
the gates and departed to his home.
Unconscious Of this fact, the lovers
reused from their absorbing converse
ton and prepared to leave the square.
Their CONSERVATION at finding them
selves imprisoned was in no wise inn
proved by the subsequent discovery
FIAT not a soul seemed to be stirring on
the streets who could come to their
rescue.
The was no help for it. The only
way out Of the difficulty was to climb
the massive iron spike fence. With
great difficulty the young lady climbed
to the top, when, to her horror, just as
her feet sought to secure a resting place
in the descent, the gruff voice of po-
liceman shouted menacingly in their
ears.
Rapidly giving directions in French
to Miss Beale to proceed with all speed
possible and run for home while he
engaged the intruder in conflict, Mr..
Bakhmetieff successfully tussled with
the fellow until, happy in the knowl-
edge that his instructions had been
carried out, he gave himself into Gus
tody of the officer, knowing that, as a
member of foreign legation, he would
be liberated Immediately upon arrival
at headquarters. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

in order 10 test the correctness Of
his theory OF eIectrocution. His
theory was TO place one electrode

other at bis back passing the current
through the great ganglion Of pneu-

A Sorrow of DIR. Chapin's Last Days

Sorrow of DIR. Chapin's Last Days.
A prominent clergyman speaking of
the relations existing between clergy
men, told Inc the following astonishing
anecdote. He said that no clergyman
who has ever been pastor of New
York church was more popular, in his
day more famous, or had a wider repute
as a pulpit orator and public speaker
than DIR. Edwin Chaplin. Chaplin was
a Universalist, and Horace Greeley was
one of his parishioners.
Dr. Chaplin was smitten with a NOR
tai disease, and it was publicly an
nounced in the newspapers. He had
some heart trouble, which did not pre-
vent friends from seeing him, but it
was known it would end his life in a
brief time. He had been sick for some
five weeks, when one day the Rev. Dr.
ATInitage called. He was shown into
Chapin's room and found the distin-
guished clergyman lying upon a sofa.
When he saw Armitage he burst into
tears and Dr. Armitage was surprised.
Chapin said: Doctor, can't help
these tears, but they express gladness
rather than sorrow. Do you know that
you are the first clergyman of all those
who have professed friendship for me
who has called to see me or even sent a
message of sympathy to me in my ILL
ness. Not a single clergyman has been
so considerate, and I tell you it has
been bitter sorrow to me at this
time"
Two days later this great orator was
dead, and the only religious ministra-
ton or sympathetic call he had during
his final illness was that of this Baptist
clergyman. New York Cor. Philadel

WEST ST PAUT.

West st. Paul dates from primeval
times, but before the Robert street
bridge was opened it lay many miles
away from the great city Of which 1t
was part, and nursed civilization of
its own peculiar stamp. They say now
in Minneapolis that you can tell st.
Paul horse as it makes its way alon
the streets there, because it is sure to
be stiff in the joints from going up and
down hill so much when it is at home.
And in the old nays man from West
st. Paul had distinctive gait and style
of speech, neither better nor worse than
other peoples, but which served to tell
anybody else in Ramsey county where
his household goods were kept.
Things have changed with paved streets
and electric cars and factories and
handsome business blocks, and the in
diyiduality of our neighbors across the
river has suffered somewhat in the
shuttle. Still, to this hour, there is
remnant Of foreign feeling over there,
which breaks out every now and then
in exploits very consumptive of news
paper space, and very interesting to
people who enjoy what is unusual and
out of their own line. In the Sixth
ward they occasionally have heresy
trials, which are, to say the least. I'M
common in other sections of the city.
Deep splits are reported in social cir
cles, and debating societies disband
with some display of pyrotechnics indie
ative Of strained personal relations. One
brother accuses another of having spok-
Ell disrespectfully Of his pastor, and he
appears before jury of his neighbors for
punishment or vIndication. Sometimes
an old lady expresses her horror at the
goings on of the younger generation,
and the next thing you know some
damsel who thinks she is alluded to
horsewhips the old lady's stepson
out of a spirit of vengeance. Great
waves of excitement sweep over the
community because a school teacher
loses her job; and when a principal of
one of the public schools promotes his
pupils too rapidly. bankers and Jobbers,
professional men and manufacturers
leave theil places Of business in the
daytime, prefer charges against him and
see that he is forced to toe the mark
with great eXactness. There is a pro-
fundity of sentiment and wealth of
public spirit in West st. Paul which is
most gratifying to contemplate.
