VOL. XXXV.
'0bioI Statesman,
The Heaith and Longevity o
Brain Workers.

An exhaustive paper on this snbject,
by DR.. George NJ. Beard. in late num-
ber of Houss at Home, thus thoroughly
disposes of the popular notion that
many men are killed by hard study or
other mental labor:
1t is true that many whose names
shine-7brightest in the galaxy of the
worlds thinkers, walked all their lives
in sorrow and pain, and sank into pre-
mature graves. But, on the other hand,
it is just as true that the logical cause
of the suffering and early decease of
these men is to be found in most in
stances, not in their intellectual activity
as authors so much as in their native
feebleness of constitution, in their dis
sipated habits, or in their external cir
cumstances. Many delicate and finely
strung natures are irresistably impelled
to authorship by the force OF their ge-
MUS, and, if such are doomed to life
long battle with disease, surely their
calling should not be held responsible
for their misfortunes. Some worry them
selves to death, others hasten it by over
indulgence of the passions, and others
die simply because nature does not al
low them sufficient capital to sustain
life; but very few die simply from over
exertion of the mind. No one will pre-

that had he been measurably obedient to

twenty years longer. On the other hand
contemplate what wonders of toll as well
as of suffering have been endured by
many authors who have yet attained a
good old age. Sir Walter Scott over
whelmed with debt, lonely through be-
reavement, persistently planning and
writing until he was past sixty !;

his own weakness, plunging into

Famous Racers.

) The barley Arabian, sire of Childers,
was brought to England in the reign of
Queen Anne, and the Godolpbin Arabian
in 1924. The latter animal was first
imported into France from Barbary, a
present, it is supposed, from the Emperor
Of Morocco to Louis XIV; butso little
was he valued in, Paris that he was ac-
tually employed in draught. Every
superior English racer partakes of his
valuable blood. He died at Hog Mogog,
in Cambridgeshire, in the 29th year of
his age, and is buried there in covered
passage leading to his stable, with fiat
stone without any ription-since
epitaph he did not need. In all the
prints of the day he is represented with
his faithful feline friend-the cat, that
pined to death for the loss of him. These
Arabians, however, are much less cele-
brated for what they did themselves than
for the feats of their progeny which they
begat.
- The illustrious Flying Childers (got
by the barley Arabian out of Betty
Leeds, mare said to have produced no
other offspring), chestnut horse, white
on his nose, and with four white legs,
was foaled in 17l5. He was the fleet
est horse that ever ran at Newmarket,
or probably anywhere else, and was
never beaten. ,-Ers r.,--zr-1s5
Eclipse was also chestnut, (got by
Marske out of Spiletea), foaled during
the great eclipse of 1854, from which
he took his name. He also was never
beaten, and has the reputation of being
second in speed to Flying Childers only
He was the first horse that ever travel
ed in van, but this was a stallion, and
when his racing days were over; in
his youth he was by no means pamp-
erred animal His temper was so ter
rible that it was thought impossible
that he could ever be brought to the
post. On this account he was placed
under rough rider at EPSON, a poacher
by profession, who frequently kept the
horse out all night; but in spite of this
discipline his jockeys never attempted
to hold him, contenting themselves with
lsitting quiet upon his saddle. In his

An Ioteresting Lawsuit.

A case of some interest has lately
been on trial at the special term of the
Supreme Court, held in Utica, in this
State, by Judge Bacon. 1t appears that
in the town of Steuben lived woTbache-
lor brothers, named Powell. Living
with them as housekeeper was respect
able lady named Eaton, and her daught-
er, Margaret, at the present time grown
to be young woman. James Powell
thought great deal of Margaret. having
brought her up almost from ayehild. In
the course of time, and naturally enough,
Margaret, just budding into womanhood,
began to attract the attention of young
men.
Among them was Andrew j. Vary,
of Utica. He loved Margaret, and told
her so. But as the course of true love
never runs smoothly, that of these low
ers was to prove no exception to the
rule. Mr.. Powell, the foster father,
didn't particularly admire Vary. On
inquiry he had learned certain things
which led him to believe that V. was
not just such man as his little girl
should marry. Margaret pressed the
marrying Mr.. V. Mr.. P. told her if she
did so, he would cut her off without a
cent. This was a potent argument.
Margaret ostensibly consented to give
her lover up, and he stopped coming to
the house, at least to the knowledge of
Powell, for some time.
Margaret soon set her wits, to work
to both get the property Powell was to
leave, and marry e.ary. One mo hing
she seemed to feel very badly, and ism-
menced crying in the presence of Pow
ell. His heart was touched and be in
quired the cause. She wept because
she had been thinking what if he should
die and leave her without cent, and
she had given up Vary all the time! 1t
made, her weep, to think of it. Would
not he be so kind as to give her deed
of his farm now. instead of leaving il
to her by will2 Powell said that il
she would really give. up all thoughts
of Vary he would give her deed of one
hundred acres. Wouldn't he make it one
hundred and fifty, queried Margaret? He
consented to do so, and Margaret would
forget her lover and live with Mr.. P. all
the days of her life. >
Now Margaret and her foster father
came to Utica, employed a lawyer, and a
deed of the property was duly made out
to Margaret Eaton, and put on record ir
the County Clerks office in this CITY,
This was on the 10Th of Aprillast. Three
or four days afterward, Mr.. Powell learn.
ed that he had been victimized; thai
Margaret was married in this city to Vary
the 14th of April, five days before the
deed was given. He determined not tt
be thus beaten by the woman, and ht
took legal advice in the matter. Tht
result was, an action was commenced t.
set aside the. deed. The case was OF
trial last week. Judge Bacon decided
against the girl. The deed was Sc
aside and an order entered that the deet
made by Powell be vacated, and tha
Miss Margaret re-deed that little farm
back to her foster father. The farm i

A BosroN paper saws: The love

A BosToN paper says: The love of
neatness may, be carried to excess, es.
pecially when it makes one forget cour-
tesy for cleanliness. This was especi-
ally the case with Col. S., when
dining with his friend Holmes. No
sooner was he seated at the table than,
not liking the appearance of his glass,
he began polishing it with his napkin.
His host noticed the action, and said un-
easily to the, waiter, "Change the Col
onel's glass;" Another glass was
brought, whereupon the Colonel picked
up his napkin and recommended
his cleaning process. .'How dare you
bring dirty glasses here 2" cried Holmes,
angrily, "Take it away and bring an
other" A third glass was set before
the Colonel, who coolly set to work as be-
fore. Holmes, too furious to speak,
motioned to the servant, who once more
changed the glass. This time the Col
onel lost patience, and turning angrily
around, exclaimed: 'Do you want me
to wipe all the glasses in the house :"
The harmonious conclusion of the din
ner may be imagined. E

A DOUBT ExPREssED.-One Sab
bath afternoon Sunday school teacher
observed two boys playing at marble by
the roadside. He stopped, told them
how wicked it was and succeeded in
persuading the worst one to accompany
him to school. The lad was decidedly
fast youth, of about eight years. In
the class among other things, the teach
er told him that "God made this beauti-
full world and all that was in it; we must
thank him for the good things we enjoy.
He gives us food and our clothes"
"Does he give my clothes, too 2" asked
the lad.
ayes; he gives us everything"
"Now, that's where you got your eyes
shut up; for man made these trowsers
out of dads old ones!"

'o A STORY OF ROBERT EMMET--
There is story told of this young poll
tician in early life that proved his secre-
tive power and resolution. He was fond
of studying chemistry, and one night
late, after the family had gone to bed, he
swallowed large quantity of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some cooling
powder. He Immediately discovered
his mistake, and knew that death
must shortly ensue unless he in
stantly swallowed the only an
tidote-chalk. Timid men would in
stantly have torn at the bell, reused all
the family, and sent for stomach-pump
Emmet call no one, made no noise; but
stealing down stairs and unlocking the
front door, went into the stable, scraped
some chalk which he knew to be there
and took sufficient doses of it to neutral.
ize the poison.

COLUMBUS, O.,TUESDAY MORNING,

a
first race-there were four mile heats in
those days-though the horses were all
together at the three mile post, he dis
tanced the whole of them, though pulled
with the whole strength his rider could
exert; yet he had not been struck, but
only alarmed with the flourish of the
whip.
Eclipse is generally believed to have
covered eighty-three feet of ground in a
second when at the top of his pace, or
twenty feet at single stride
Flying Childers it is said, covered the
same ground, but performed still more
wonderful feats of speed. Carrying
nine stone two pounds, he ran over the
road course at Newmarket, Cthree miles,
six furlongs and ninety-tlree yards in
lengthy, six minutes and forty sec
onds; and also over the Beacon course.
-four miles, one furlong and one hum
dred and thirty-eight syards), in seven
minutes and half. These instances
seem to be well authenticated. and al
though published with every detail at
the time, do not seem to have been de-
MED. Race horses of the present day,
however, it is certain, cannot accomplish
such marvels, to whatever reason-such
as being run too young, whereas Chill
ders and Eclipse did not appear in pub
lie until five years old-their inferiority
may be ascribed. il
