Dennis, probably the bent known man in his line in »St. Paul, and one iu every respect worthy of the trade he enjoys and the money he is making. I say he is worthy of it, because the man has the natural push and energy which is one of the component parts of a successful business man; because he is young in years and old in experience, and because he luis ideas regarding the goods he sells which are highly satisfactory, and, last but not least, he is a good ad~- vertiser. The subject of my sketch was born in lW3(>, at Waukegtfn, III. That makes him just thirty-three years of age. At the age of eighteeii he entered the employ of L. J. llobart, of Chicago, as traveling salesmen. Even before this time he had been actually engaged in the tobacco business, in the employ of his father, who was an extensive manufac­ turer, and a great part of Mr. Dennis' success is due to the fact that he has so thoroughly maatenMl every detail of his chosen calling, having begun when a, boy with watering the plants, until to-day he is probably as good a judge of tobacco in all shupes as exists. In 1877 he left Mr. llobart and asso­ ciated himself with F. F. Adams & Co., of Milwaukee, taking charge of all their Eastern business, with headquarters at Buffalo. Here he first met his wife, and four years ago he was married, and that very hap­ pily. Mr. Dennis is now a proud father, lives on the Hill, and is correspondingly happy. lie is probably acquainted with every wholesale grocer, tobacco and cigar deal­ er of any promiuenoe from Chicago to lioston, Poland iuiJt, Augp* tilie. ' j Just six years ago he started in his present location, arguing that St. Paul needed a first class establishment, one which would only carry the very finest goods. His reasons were correct. The venture was a success from the start, until to-day he is, without a question, the largest Havana importer in the Northwest, and iu his two stores (the second one being in the Globe building), more cigars averaging more than $100 per thousand are sold than tl\pse under it. Mr. D,'s wholesale business is also gradually on the increase; he does an immense business with the retail drug­ gists of St. Paul and the Northwest, the groceries, hotels, restaurants, etc. He also furnishes all goods in his line to all the prominent clubs of the city, and to the Northern Pacific dining car*. His importations are so large and of so fine a nature that by common assent he has been proclaimed the leading dealer in his line, until to-day even the wholesale gro­ cers buy of him certain brands which he owns exclusively and are especially man­ ufactured for him in Cuba. Tne modus oj»eraudi of importing ci­ gars is quite novel, but space forbids giv­ ing an explanation now. 1 will do so sometime later. With him at all times, under all Circumstances, watching? and caring for the business fully as carefully and close as if it were his own, is his father, Mr. E. M. Dennis, also probably one of the oldest tobacco men in the, L'nited States. Mr. Dennis appreciates the efforts of his father to promote his interests, and the spirit existing between them is an exemplary one and is worthy of imitation by every father and son. Last year's business amounted to $200,000, and this year will beat that 100 per cent. Mr. Dennis is making money. I ain glad he is. He deserves it. If you are a phrenologist, you cannot pick out a lineament of the young man's tace which is not characteristic of hon­ esty, pleasantness and sociability. The desire to please predominates. Always cheerful, with every object in this life worth having iu his possession, 1 am glad to see hiiu gradually gaining ground toward a position of independ­ ence which we all fight for. He is a benefit to St. Paul, and all I now ask is that he does not hide his light under a bushel, but proclaim aloud to the entire Northwest his facilities aud in­ crease in business 500 per cent. I think he jvill by and by. SALESMEN WANTET> "^Permanent Situations guar -*-' teed. Salary and Expo's paid Special inducements w beginners.

Dick Steele writing from Washington under date of April 6tfe^ gives the follow- ing; That a man like Secretary Blaine should at his age seek the exhilarating relaxation of a complete system of gym­ nastic exercises certainly speaks well for the pure giit of the eminent statesman. It is one thing for the youug, full-blooded man of twenty-two to swing from the ceiling like a fly, or nimbly vault the wooden horse,' the ladder, parallel bars, or trapeze. But it is quite another mat­ ter for the less supple limbs of a man in yjlk tiy 111« >i tnithe wi vtito Eex and ceil' tort them in a mode so suggestive of peauuts and pink lemonade of the saw­ dust ring. Therefore, when I read that Mr. Blaine was taking a course of gymnastics in a regular Washington gymnasium, I at once declared that it must, be of a mild type. Such, however is not the fact. "Excellsior" was ever the motto of Mr. Blaine, and in the varigated political career "2s il desperauduin has been his rallying cry aud slogan. Thus, it may be readily presumed, Mr. Blaine proposes to vie with tne leading lights of the Washington Turnvereiu, scale the giddy heights of the flying trap­ eze, and flip-flap with "the champion flip- flapper of the caty. Mr. Blows if* an ftu- cidentals in hit portoire. In a small refectory off from the main hall of the gymnasium whete Mr. Blaine disports himself, I noticed a congress­ man "putting the shot." He was also paying for it. But it was not Mr. Blaine. Dressed in full tights of a fashionable maroon, with light buskins and scull cap, the Secretary of State presents an ap­ pearance particularly attractive as he dis- port« himself among men a third of his age in the gymnasium. His sparing is scientific, sortie of his body blows and upper cuts being ten He. This rightfully enough, has earned for him the title |of "The Terror of the Cabinet." In his run ning, leaping, ground and lofty tumbling he presents the picture of athletic grace and the poetry of motion, or rather mo­ tion broken loose in one wild carnival of dizzy yet dignified agility. Mr. Blaine improves in everything he attempts, es pecially running. He is now running much better than de did in 1884 "I have here," said Mr. Blaine as he paused for breath after a difficult per formance on tne high turning pole, "chalk emery paper, sand paper, and there were some naturalization papers and a paper of tobacco here a few moments ago, but someone has evidently and serreptitious- ly made way with the latter." "And what, sir, do you do with the chalk and sand paper? " I inquired with true office-seeking deference. 'O, we use them to keep the soles of our buskins in good orders--prevents slip­ ping, you know, in the great tight rope scene and leap for life. Since Chauncey M. l)epew became unduly fascinated with base ball I understand he iuvaribly chalks the palms of his hands before making a post-prandial oration." Indeed!" Yes, sir. By the way, L have found out one thing which is a trifle discourag­ ing. My back somersaults are a little off just now. I can't go a back somersault with a half the eaao and grace 1 could last June." "About the time of the Chicago conven tiou?" "Eh?" "l soppose the season flBkee some difference m «!! kinds of bod9 exercise., "Well, yes, 1 apprehend ital,.t "Are there many members of"the Indi­ ana delegation connected with this gym­ nasium?" "Very few. Hoosiers do not take nat­ urally to bodily exercise of any descrip­ tion, except i>edestriaiiiHin. Quite number of them are now on the road headed for Indianapolis and Posey county. They are however, especially fond of singing and dancing. Every now and then an ludianian comes into my office and gives me » song; and daw* to the Queen's taste."* v Here Mr. Blaine put on the. gloves with a local pugilist and danced him three times around the hall. He then introdyeed me to a bath room for his final dumb bell exercise and massage treatment of the day. * I was informed that the secretary of state would then dine*at the W hite House, and prepare to stand off a crowd of office seekers block uding the sidewalk of Pennsylvania avenue. No wonder he frequents a gymnasium Dick Stekjlk. S PROPHECIES. Samuel Benner, the great financial prophet, in a communication to the Real Estate and Builder's Guide, pub­ lished iu New York, makes a forecast of the financial and commercial conditions of the country for the coming three years He reasons from analogy as well as statistics complied from close observa­ tions through many years, and supports his predictions regarding future panics and prices with a philosophic course of reasoning which cannot fail to impress all and convince many. The following is the prophecy in full; My forecasts at preaaant are not only for the year 1889, but also include 1890 and 2891: It is a great desideratum to know when good times will commence, and it is also very important to know how long they will continue, and when we may expect the next panic aud reaction in general business. The business men of this coun­ try do not desire a boom of short dura­ tion so much as they do a steady ad­ vance in prices and in the developments of trade--continuing for a number of year*. However much they may desire this condition for future business, the records of commercial and financial his­ tory do not warrant us in maJring this kind of a prophecy. Since 1825 this country has not experi­ enced a continued advance in the price of iron beyond four years. The resumption of specie payments by the government in 1876 was the occasion for the boom in business following that event Now we have a decision by the people that pro­ tection will continue to be the policy of the government, making the occasion for the turning of the tide from depres sion to activity in all business. The de­ pression in trade for 1888 was predicted thirteen years ago, and the prediction was also made at that time that the tide would turn, giving us an era of business activity during the years 1889, 1890, and 1891. The persistence of the repetition of these trade cycles is becoming a commer­ cial wonder, they ride triumphant over all events which have occurred during the past sixty years to oppose such regular­ ity. These cycles have been verifying themselves through the introduction of railroads, steamboats the electric tele­ graph, the suspension of specie payments in 1887 and 1857, the panic of 1873, through the Mexican war, our civil war, through all of our presidential terms since the administration of Jackson up, A uO'uic piCTciiv uiiip"GVoiiiu^ defeat the aims of the present adminis­ tration, while using the whole machinery of the government for re-election, with the avowed policy of a low tariff, which would depress our industries. What else can a rejisonable person ^ ask to prevent their repetition? Better times and higher prices will prevail for the next three years, and no happening or opposi­ tion can prevent them. The outcome of the presidential elec­ tion has laid a broad basis for a general recovery of confidence, an element that has been wanting for the past fodryears, which we have observed by the many idle furnaces, mills, and factories, and the lower prices for nails, steel rails, u«i pi£ iron for a* number of years. The year 1886 opens with ehe hopes. Onr corps during the past ye have been abnndent ; the prospects of increased foreign demand for our grain and provisions at advanml give the farmer renewed energy 1f« must look forward to a hot and .d*y':<4 summer this year, as we are not -' <1 yond the period of a genera! dmegttt; ^ with fair early crops business and price# will show considerable Improvement in' the spring months. We are at the beginning of a oils period and the outlook is for a d*w ^ cided improvement and advance in thff ^ prices of iron, railroad stock, and in all ; manufactured commodities. Whenever our manufacturers are prosperous, every* " U industrial class is prosperous. gpf 1 predict that the price of iron will adr *r| vance, and the average price for the year ' *" 1885) will be higher than thfr'&verage fof 1888; and I also predict that there will '•e a wonderful advance in the price for iron, stocks, and all products and com- modities in the year 1890; all business (*| will be prosperous, it will be a year of J" good c rops and the boom 'year in th fe l - V. period of activity. *-Ji In the beginning of the year 1891 speculation will be at its height--a great} /;f| business inflation--pig iron $50 per ton ^ in the markets of our country. I pre- isl diet there will be a panic iu the year 1891. The over-trading and general ;!|J inflation of business and expansion ol If credit and confidence will produce this;* g result. The panic probably will be , ; brought about by the effects of the heavy - ^ rainfalls and flood#, or by the collapse some large financial business firm. Thit^ | panic will be a commercial and financial revulsion, and will be followed by a down-sweep in prices. S Real Civil Service Refbrm. Postmaster General tinues to give daily proof that he intend* Wanainaker con-; to run his department for business andfeS,^ not for politics. He has now followed up his selection of an expert railroad nmn- < ager for head of the Railway Mail Service * "1 by restoring many of the heads of di- > i visions of this branch who were removed". •>§ for political reasons under Mr. Cleveland. These men are admirably qualified, Mill Their removal was a wrong to the service, and the whole public, and their reinstate^ ment will meet with universal approval. iA It does not follow that every office-holder who lost his place under the Cleveland' /> Administration should go back, but to ^ restore competent men who wererem< n vd simply because they were not Democrats J is genuine Civil Servive reform.--Neve "5 York lYibuut>. Thaddeus Stevens was one of the most remarkable men of his time, t»r of any time. During his long career in th#1 House of Representatives, he was the ac- knowlet^ged leader of his party, and no ^ one ever thought of disputing his pri> ;j raacy. For quickness of wit and he had no equal, and any one who looked horne Tfitk liiiuiu debate was quite cer-> ;2 d best. It is rer that when a youn^"!! maa practicing law iu Pennsylvania, 1m .• was trying a cause before a Judge wfco « was disposed to rule on every question -If against him. Mr. Stevens bore this for „ > | some time, and then, hastily gathering up his books and papers, started tor. the , ̂ door. The Judge, somewhat surprised,1 at this, hailed him and asked if he meant, ^ by leaving in that manner, to show con- tempt of court? "No," replied iliv Stevens. "I am leaving iu order that I may not show my contempt." % TEMPERANCE WINE FOR INVALIDS. It is well known that there are casm when the most strict advocates of tciu-^§|| perance are obligde to use some sort of 1 ̂ wine, especially those who are old and infirm. Many weakly females as well ast „ „ ij invalids and debilitated ]>ersons in warm weather need a little strengthening wine. > ",i The great difficulty has been in procur- . ^ ing a rich wine that is reliable. are many cases where wine'would bft to great advantage in place of abeheiB^.7^ drinks, if only a genuine article could be ^ had, and upon which physicians ooai^A'^ rely as being strictly pure. The wine of 4 Alfred Speer, of Passaic, New Jersey, amiin'ig his Uufermented Grape Juice have been . 4 proved strictly pure and beneficial.
