We submit whether the following

Nov. eth has not much of truth

"An important movement I'm the
arrangement of Agricultural Fairs In
the West the present season was the
movement on the part Of the Illinois
state Agricultural society shaking
OFF, that branch ofthc Annual Ex-
hibition known AZ "the professional
mems horse show,n viewed strictly as
q question of speed, and represented
by geldings and mares kept not as
work horses or breeding mares but
strictly set apart, and separated out
from the labOring and useful Glasses
OF horse flesh, on account OF their
ability to make fast time at short dts-
tdnces, and win money, honestly, II
you can, Lat tOtp money.
Now we submit, IL Agricultural
Societies offer liberal premiums on
roadster stailiOns. mares. aud young
stock, their value us snch, being con
ceded to depend In large measure
upon their speed and bottom, open
/ ing the driving track to sucn, keep
/ ing the same in good order, that the
roadster may show his very best
strides, whether all the legitimate
object OF such organization are not
fully reached. That the objects OF
Agricultural Societies are furthered
1 by opening the ring To the class OF
horses referred io above, kept strictly
as racs horses tn win money with, we
cannot concede. III men see III TO
engage In that kind OF business, sep
arating out class of horses from
| useful service, on account of their
possessing the ability to make fast
time at short distances, with view
to make winning horses of them, we
see no reason why agricultural socie-
ties should open their rings TO such,
and afford facilities on their grounds
for selling "poois," &c, when all tie
evidences 90 to- show that tisc aims oi
the two classes of men are not at oil
similar, tire one being the representa-.
tiyes from the solid men of tile com

societies are, as q rule. ganl Lpsed ~

OVERRIDING it.

A well.known Methodist clergy.
man who was once travelling ON
horseback through the State of Mas
sachusetts, stopped one noon ON "a
sultry day, at y cottage by the road
side, and requested some refreshment
for himself and beast. This was
readily granted by the Now England
dame; SO the parson dismounted,
and having seen his horse well cared
for, entered the cottage, and paTtook
of The refreshments which were
cheerfully placed before him. For
some time past there had been no
raia, aud the country was parched
up The minister entered into eou-
versation with the old lady, aud re-
marAed rs to the dryness " the sea-
son. yes" she replied, unless We
have rain soon, all my beets, eabbagcs
and cucumbers Will be good for moth
Ing aud think TINT all the ministers
ought to pray for rain" The worthy
divine Informed her that he was
minister, and that no should bo
happy TO comply with her wish,
He accordingly knelt down and
prayed fervently that the gates Of
Heaven might be opened that the
showers might descend and refresh
the earth. lie then arose from his
knees, and having kindly thanked
his hostess, bade her good day, and
mounted his horse and departed.
But he had not besn gone more than
an hour when the clouds began TO
gather. and tremendous shower oi
rain and hail descended, and with
such force an to wash the contents OF
the OLD lady's garden clear out of the
ground. ''There .''said she, ''tllat Ia

Smoking On the street
Railway Cars.

II there be one public nuisanC Q
more common and annoying than
another, ID Ia this. Men--c0mmoil
fellows--not gentlemen--with filthy
old pipes or sinking cigars crowd the
front platform and suck away at the
nasty stuff, filling the air with inn
pure and unhealthy smells to the
annoyance Of all decent people. Nor
does the evil or nuisance end here.
The filthy tobacco smoke sticks to all
1t strikes. In many sensitive natures
IL causes headache, sick stomach. and
prostrati0n; and, as Ii well known.
there is nothing In the world more
distressing than severe tobacco sick
ness.
Why our railway superintendents
and conductors permit the nuisance
Is indeed most strange. e is clearly
an outrage To permit the filthy fel
lows to polIute the air which all pas.
sengcrs--men, women, and children
--nust inevitably breathe.
But, "General Grant smokes say
these men, and why may not we.
SO do nearly all the gamblers, thieves
robbers, aud nurderers smoke. Near
ly all beggers and paupers, white
black, and red, smoke. But IL doe,
not follow that any man ID the bette,
for it. We do not propose ut present
| to go into discussion of the mefiti
OF the general question. We simply
wish to enter our most emphatic pro
test against being compelled to breath
the fumes of burning tobacco ON i
railway car where we pay for pul
ride. Any man may smoke, chew
snuff, drink, aud make u beast o
himself In his own house, or in hii
own barn-yard, stable, or pig pen. =
but not In our house; nor should 1
be permitted on u street railway
where we have all the common right
OF citizens to profession from nui
sances. We call ON the officers I,

ibe common evil, for evil 10 most eer
] tainly Is, 'and we viii ever. .pray.''i

We know how much relief IL ex.
perienced by the grief worn heart II
|. can vent it's deep emotion in q gueh
of tears. ppreeiating the phiioso.
play of tears, French phyaieian
publishes long dissertation on the
advantages of crying In general, aud
especially during surgical operations.
He contends that groaning aud cry
ing are two grand operations 10y
which nature allays anguish; that
those patients who give way 10 their
natural feelings more speedily recover
from accidents and operations than
those who suppose it unworthy mau
to betray such symptoms of cowardice
as either To groan or cry. Ho tells 0f
a man who reduced his pulse from
one hundred aud twenty-six To sixty,
In the course OF n few hours, by giv-
ing full vent TO his emotions. liz
people are at all unhappy about any
thing, let them go into their rooms
and comfort themselves with loud
boohoo, and they will feel a hundred
per cent. better afterward. In ac-
cordance with the above, the crying
of children should not be To greatly
discouraged. Ii u Is systematically
repressed, the result may be st. Vitus'
dance, epileptic fits. or some other
disease OF the nervous system. What
is natural Ii nearly always useful
and nothing can be more natural than
the crying of children, when any.
thing occurs TO give them either
physical or mental pain. Probably
most persons have experienced the
effect of tears ln relieving great sor-
row. il Is even curious how tlie feel
ings are alllyed by their free lnduI-
gence in groans aud sighs. Then let
parents aud friends show more indul-
gencs To noisy bursts of grief--on tho
part of children As well AS older per-
sons-and regard the eye and tho
mouth IN the safety valves through
which nature discharges her surplus
steam. - PiUcnotogicat Journal.
