had but very casual acquaintance
with Captain Horne, from meeting him
on some of our Bengal race courses, but
| have always admired and often thought
about lis great courage and endurance.
| fully believe you will find upon inquiry
that his death resulted many years ago
from dysentery, contracted by winning a
e500 bet that he would ride horse
named jumping Jimmy" one hundred
miles day for eight successive days.
He started on, think, the fifth of July,
after the racing season would have set
in, and when the heat between the show
ers would be excessive. The horse was
none the worse for his performance, but
Captain Horne's death from the exposure
he encountered was the unfortunate re-
suit, and was greatly deplored.
Some time between 1881 and 1885, the
late Mr.. Bocon, of the Bombay civil SER
vice, rode one camel FROM Bombay to
Allygbur (perhaps eight hundred miles,
in eight days The camel was little
blood-looking animal, almost black.
About 1880, the present Lord Exmouth,
then the Hon. Mr. Pellew, of the Bengal
civil service, rode an old English horse
named Cheroot Box one hundred miles
in twenty-four hours--easily. l could

Arc We to Have Another War Z

To the close observer of passing
events, there is no one thing more surely
foreshadowed than that the Radicals
have determined, in some way or other,
to fasten themselves upon the country
as the ruling power for all time to come.
AS has been expressed by the Radical
candidate for Congress from this district,
this is to be done peaceably if they
can-forcibly if they must
Scarce paper of note published in
the interests of that faction, but in some
way or another hints at or asserts the
possibility or probability of war that
shall eclipse in horror and devastation
that which has just passed. These allu'
sions to contest, which, according to
these Radicals, is soon to be Inaugural
ted, are too frequent to be passed over
without notice They have meaning
which the wise will not fail to heed.
Though there may be much of the bully
in these threats and declarations, yet
they would not so generally be made, if
there had nothing been said about the
matter in the conclaves Of the faction.
The Governors of several Of the States
have lately been engaged in purchasing
arms. Congress failed to distribute to
the Radical Governors the arms in the
arsenals of the United States, as was in
tended, and hence other means have to
be resorted to and we find the Govern
ors Of the States most likely to be car
ried by Conservatives on a fair vote,
purchasing arms The people would
like to know what necessity at present
exists for this measure.
We have been informed that arms are
collecting in various places about the
country, and that they have been dis
tributed to the faithful, and are left in
places where they can be had when
wanted by these, contemners of law and
order. All these things should have the
effect to make Conservatives vigilant and
watchful Their liberties and lives are
in danger They should demand Of these
Radical Governors, who are purchasing
arms for their secret consplrators, what
they propose to do with them-what
right they have to make the purchase
what necessity for their procurement ex-
lists; and then, when they are distribu-
ted, they should also demand that they
should not go into the hands of one
party to the exclusion of another. They
should see that there was an equitable
distribution, or none at all When
one party is armed the other is compar-
atiyely at their mercy, and let it be borne
in mind that the fact that the Radical
Governors are procuring arms to put
into the hands of their faction, is primG
facia evidence that they propose to re-
sort to force in the questions before the
people. Freedmen, ponder these things
and act PeOria DemocrdL

THE DAILY EMPIRE.
H. H ROBINSON,
PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR.


Some hundred years since we find Sir
John Salisbury of Lewenny Hall marry
ng n ward Of queen Elizdbeth's Katherine
Sf Berayne then only fourteen years old.
She was an heiress ard descendant in the
hfth generation from owen Tudor and the
princess Katherine Of France. On Sir
Johns death, in 1867, his widow followed
him to the grave, and in going TO church
was escorted by Sir Richard Clough, the
owner of the property in the neighbor-
hood, formerly in service of Sir Thomas
Gresham, and at that time very eminent
merchant, In returning home from the
burial, she was attended by young gen
tlcman of property. named Morris Wynn.
He. perceiving the widow to be not very
inconsolable, and fired by her charms, pro-
fited by the opportunity to whisper tale
of love into her ears, and finally asked her
TO be his wife. She, by no means startled
at this oddly timid proposal, civilly dccln-
ed his offer, saying that she accepted "A sim
liar one from Clough on her way to church /;
but, probably observing yonng Wynn to be
much cast down at her refusal, and being a
large-heaTted, cOmpaniOnablc woman, she
sought to console the rejected lover by the
assurance that if she survived Clough,
Wynn should be her third husband. This
promise she duly kept when, three years
later, she was a second time q widow.
Again, third time, did she outlivc her
husband, and fourth time became a wife.

watch, belonging to n member of Parlia-
ment. designed aud made expressly for him.
by James Ferguson Cole, the celebrated
London watch and chrOnometer maker,
whose surprising skill and varied inven-
tiOns have gained him the title Of "the En-
glish Brequet.' This unique pocket cbro-
nOmetCr has n silver dial, on which are
nine hands, indicating respectively the
hours, minutes and seconds the days of the
week the days of the month: the months
of the year. IL corrects itself for the une-
quail months that is TO say, changes when
they have thirty and when thirty lone days /;
and also corrccts itself for leap year. II is
so constructed that any slight agitation of
the watch, such as the ordinary exercise of
walking, winds it. Thus il may be worn
Quiring even to be opened, although IL can
also be wound by n key in the usual man
ner. The dial is arranged in five circles,
and within the largest. the hour circle, is a
semi circle showing the moons age aud
phases by means of gold ON n ground of

gold indicator tor ascertainiug the time in

the mechanism may be imagined, and YET
