The War-IIaWks.

1t were devoutly to bc wished that those who
are anxious to plunge the country into war with
France, with England, or with any other nation,
or to get up another war among ourselves could
be compelled TO enlist in the ranks and sent 10
the front before anybody else. The quiet and
brave men of the land should refuse to march a
single step till every politician, orator and news
paper editor who advocates war is placed in the
advance line, with row of trusty bayoncts be-
hind, so MS to cut off all possibility Of retreat
If all the incendiaries who are etcrnally striving
TO light the flames of war could be placed where
they would be swept away by the first fire. q
good many honest people would be willing to
risk their own lives for The chance of getting rid
of them. 1t would be q pleasant sight to behold
some Of those war-hawks who are SO furious for q
war with France placed in front Of line of
French Zouaves. 1t would be instructive to in
quire their opinion of the Monroe doctrine, as
those bronZed and athletic masters of the bayonet
advanced upon them with 'the light of battle on
their brow" If we are not greatly mistaken,
most of them would wish old Mr.. Monroe had
never been born. Thy would better compromise
the Monroe doctrine than be placed in position
where they will be in a fair way of keeping COM
pany with the author of it.-Bdh Transccipt.

Wanted to Go Back.

In Sir VIM. Pctty's Political arithmetic a sim
gular work, published in 1860, we have the fol-
lowing:
''As for the people of New England, can but
wish they were tr;lnspantcd into Old England or
Ireland, (accordng to proposals Of their own,
madc within this twenty years, although they
were allowed more liberty of conscience than they
allow one another"
So il seems from this eminent authority that
somewhere about 1910 the people OF New Eng
land made proposition TO he transplantcd back
TO Old England or Ireland. Ii is now npossi-
bic to estimate the vast effect of their having been
gratifcd in this wish upon the dies my Of tits
country. Then probably we should never have
had among us that sharp, angular restless. med
dlesome character,r which has liccn constantly a
disturbing elencut and TO which we must GER
talnly charge the present wretched condition of
our country. The Puritan is everywhere q de-

Our disease is Puritanism. The things we have

we, must not make the mistake to suppose
that all the inhabitants of the New England are

IN ysxfaK AND fupR0MPfU Bkcs-we
learn that qJtitu 40 exciting little race
came on ON Saturday morning last, on the
track % giIe County Fair Grounds. It was
in tlae eOoA OF TIM morniug, about five
O'Clock, and quite number 'had assembled
10 witness the spets, altItouga bat short
notice had been given The race was be-
tween Allen Fauyer's grey trotting horse
and Mr. Stroupst bay pacing mare, The
respective owners Of the horses being the
drivers--mile heats two best In three.
Fauver's horse made two straight heats
in $40 each, aud the judges declared him
the victor--wiiii.s:ss;; .hee thee e -ae@ e.a stakes.
The mare broke up several times, acted
unruly and wouldn't keep 10 her work. Il
was thought by many of those present that
she had the speed, and II she had not be-
haved so badly, would have won the race.
There was considerable trouble In getting
the horses TO the scribe, which caused
some delay, but when they finally got
started, they went on in fine style, the
horse hitched TO a wagon and the
mare to a sulkey. The horse is native Of
the soil, and the mare, which isa very
valuable animal. was recently imported
from the vicinity Of BeaveItown, Although
the mare was defeated IN this contest It is
said she is capable of performing many
wonderful feats-among them Walking q
chalk mark backwards. 1t is thought that
with proper training, she will win the
next race. IL .fHL .H siItGI
One or the mostinteresting features lof
the race was the atlmirabled manner 10
which the drivers handled the ribbans both
proving themselves experts in this partic-
uar-cspecially Fquver. ~ .5i'v,sA ~
