Buxton Held.

Junot D. Buxton, cashier of the post
office, was arrested a little after o'clock
Monday afternoon on warrant sworn
out by Inspector James D. Wood, charg-
ing him with embezzling $2,15177 from
the department on March 81, 1896. He
Will be arraigned on Friday afternoon
next.
1t is believed by his friends that the
government officials will not feel it .ncum-
bent upon them to follow UP the prosscu-
ton OF this case if the money is refunded,
and as the Fidelity and Casualty Compa-
ny, who are his bondsmen, will do that
imm ediately, they, themselves, will not
be apt to prosecute if they are refunded
the amount of their outlay, and, as Mr..
Buxton's friends will do that beyond all
question it is very probable that the case
will not reach the federal grand jury.

Shakespeare and Slang.

An enterprising correspondent to the
American publication "shakespeariana"
has been showing that the Bard OF Avon
is the father Of more than one slang
phrase now held in disrepute in certain
circles. For instance in "Cymbeline'
iii, 4, 51). 1mogen, defending herself to
Pisanio, says accusihgly of her husband:
.as& Some Jay Of Italy
Whose mother was her painting, hath be-
trayed him.
Most Of the instances Of modern slang
cited from Shakespeare are mere verbal
condolences, like 'too thin" which
sem ebody has traced to Henry VIII. ".

tsss' But know come not
To. hear such aattery now, and in my

they are too thin and bare to hide Of
fenses.
There the phrase is a simple and 11atu-
raj metaphor, as it continued to be in
speech and writing until recently, when
BY vulgar, iteration it 1apsed into slang.

Big Blaze at Duluth.

The Northern Pacific roads new ware
house, on Rice's Point, 80 feet wide and
600 feet long, was totally destroyed by
fire Monday afternoon. The blaze was
one of the most magnificent ever seen at
the head of the lake. The alarm was
sounded at 1870, but on account Of the ice
the tugs were slow IN getting to it, and
there was no opportunity of approach for
the city fire department. The building
was in process of construction and was
just ready for tarring the roof. The loss
on it is nearly $4,000, and that on the
dock, on which it stands. probably $4,000
more. Had the wind been few points
more to the south the big elevators close
by would probably have been in danger.
The railroad will be considerably incon-
venienced by the fire.
During the progress of the fire the roof
fell in. Chief Black, Fireman Hugh
Miles and John A. Jeffrey, carpenter,
were injured by falling timbers, the last
two quite seriously, If not fatally. The
fire caught from kettle of boiling tar.

This very encouraging piece of news
to those who have stood by the city.
Prosperity is returning with equal PAGES
to the head of the lakes.
Navigation is open. The Northern
King left this port on Tuesday last for
Buffalo. The harbor will soon assume
its old time activity. Everybody expects
a busy season on the lakes. The Amer
lean Steel Barge company will bring
three of it's boats from the ocean, as it is
expected the rates will be better On the
lakes.
John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan gave
boxing exhibition at the Grand on
Tuesday night last. They are travelling
with the Wicklow Postman," one Of the
better class OF Irish comedies. Judging
from the packed house he drew and the
generous applause accorded him, John L.
still has a warm place in the hearts Of
the American people. They love his
generous, whole-souled, manly ways,
and his faults-well, he's human and SO
are they John Farewell on your
last pathetically triumphant tour.

A. P. A. The anxious crowd became UNI
easy when their speaker failed to put in
