unoecemarr, my wife will line It when
it teaches my home."• The coffin was
slipped to Belem on Monday last, from
whence it was conveyed the Name day to
the residence of Its owner. Tke doctor
stated to the undertaker that be had long
desired to have his coffin in the house
and that he thought it perfectly proper
for one to
.purchase his coffin before ha
died, so that it might be ready without
bother trouble.
It certainly will be 'Bowed that the
Doctor's suggestion that his wife should
lbw the coffin was rather cool, and to her
it will, no doubt prove startling. This
Manua is perfectly sane, a man of the
highest character, but somewhat eccen
tric. We should think, however, that a
coffin In the house was not exactly the
thing to produce the most comfortable

The Ightw Chicago
Duluth, says the Philadelphia Bulletin,
the eastern terminus of the new railroad
which is to connect Lake Superior with
the libisiatippl at St. Paul, Is rapidly grow •
log In size and impoilance and doing Its
best to vindicate thd.ploCky claim that
has been made for it as the new Chicago
of the northwest. Tne latest reports front
reliable sources represent a remarkable
degree of enterprise and activity in this
lively little giant, In the last seven
months, one hundred and eighty, build.
lugs have been erected, Including hotels,
churches, ahops, stores, private dwellings,
and railroad buildings. Some of these
buildings are of large size and costly
construction. There is an active demand
for real estate, and building lots are sell
ing freely In this wilderness of yesterday,
at high (nigh price. The streets are being
graded, and the sidewalks laid, and Do.

Minnesota Is chiefly indebted to Philadel
phia enterprise and capital, Is being push

energy that promises the most satisfacto
ry results. From St. Past eastward,
seventy-eight miles will be completed by
the first of January, at which time shout
fourteen miles of the eastern end will
also be In running order.
It Is Interesting to watch the growth of
a western town, especially when, as In
this case, it stands as the dial which
marks the progress of some Important
internal improvement. The town and
the railroad act and re-act upon each
other, the building of the railroad bring-
Mg population and trade to the town,
and the town supplying passengers and
local traffic and general facllities to the
road. In the case of Duluth, large calcu
lations and preparations are being made
for a great grain and lumber trade, and
elevators, alw.mills mid planing-mllls
are being constructed on a large scale,
while the mining and quarrying or ;tlui
mLEallic and mineral products of the
stores of Lake Eloperfor are occupying a
large share of the slew:ion of the pio

Various and infernally mean are the
sutterfuges often resorted to by names
desiring to be rid of matrimonial fetters.
We have heard of a ease illustrative of
this statement that moaned not many
years ago in this county. A widow wc•
tam held property which she might
transfer while she remained single,
but
which, according to her husband's will
she could not dispose of if she married
again while in a state of coverture.
Well, she did marry a seared time, and
in the comae of time she desired to trans
fer the property left her by her first bus.
band. This of course she could not do,
the provisions of her first husband's will
Inhibiting her. Hera wu a quandary.
A lawyer of this city was consulted. He
"set things up" for the wife and husband.
She went home, told her husband what
advice the lawyer bad given her, and he
thought it "Jest the very thing." And
what, reader, do you suppose that advice
was? Simply this: The husband and
wile were to quarrel and fight every day,
and this wu to be done in the presence
of the children of the wife, who were well
grown, and they were to be made to
believe the quarreling and fighting were
genuine Instead of feigned. The pro.
=Liwas carried out to the letter, and
b: husband applied for a divorce.
He set forth "incompatibility" In his
comnlaud, the wife admitted it, and the
children swore to It - Judge Mane=
granted the divorce. The same, day she
%marred the property as she bad de.
sired to do, and the nett day the divorced
couple were remarried. Such is one of
the phases of the divorce prattle:L.—Ad
