Dexter Makes his Rest Saddle Time.

On Friday afternoon, after the heat of
the day was past, Mr. Bonner drove the
famous Dexter in road wagon over the
Fashion Course to give him a fast brush on
the track. He found the course like a
ploughed field, in consequence of It's beine

was out of thequestion. john Murphy the

that Dexter was moving freely aud fast
asked Mr.. Bonner's permission to breeze
him around under the saddle, which was
given. Procuring an old and heavy
saddle, Murphy mounted his old fayorite,
and sent him around the track. He found
the little horse extend himself in his long
vigorous stride so fast and freely, that he
requested Mr. Bonner and the lockers on
to time him a mile from stand to stand.
The track had been deeply narrowed five
feet from the fence, so that lie had to 90 out

THE "BEAUTIFUL SNOw.c
It's Authorship Again Con teste

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Inquirer.
CINCINNATI, Aug. %, 1s69.-Some time
since, a friend handed me an eastern paper
containing letter from Mr.. Sigourney,
nephew of the poetess, claiming the author
ship of the somewhat noted poem, "The
Beautiful Snow"
"Haying repeatedly heard O. o. Faxon,
formerly political editor of the Louisville
Courier, state that his brother, Henry w.
Faxon, deceased, was the author OF the verses
alluded to, / inclosed him a copy of Mr.. Sig
Ourney's letter, accompanied by note, desir-
ing him to inform me whether he still claimed
for his brother the credit of having written
the poem in question. j. w. JONES'.
The following is his reply:
s'NEAR GAINESVILLE, Ten, Aug. 49,
Mr.. j. w. JoNEs-Your second letter upon
the poem of the beautiful Snow" reached
me to-day. When / tell you that both
found me on bed of sickness and pain,
to which have been confined for most OF
the time during the last IS months, you
will attribute my silence to its proper
cause, and not to any withdrawal of what
ever you may have heard me say in regard
to my brothers title to the authorship of
the poem.
ssIn regard to the fact that Henry w.
Faxon wrote the poem in question, after 1
have made the the publication for which
have the materials in hand, there viii be
no doubt. 1t has been delayed by my ina-
bility to make the physical effort, and not
for want of tho proof 1 can give, in the
first place, my own testimony that he sub
mitted the poem to my ju, cement IN mani
uscript in 1919 or 1850. / have another
witness who saw the poem in his hands in
1851 or 1852, and still another who has a
printed copy which he pasted in scrap

Watterson indorse his claims, as does Mr.

fact that he wrote it years before the liter

Twenty Seven Cents Worth Of Married
Life.

Ia Virginia. where the laws fixed the mar

couple who many years ago called ON q
parson and requested him to marry them.
':Where ia my fee?' said the function
airy.
The parties who were 10 unite their for
tunes did so at once and found the joint
amount to be twentysevenscents.
al can't marry YOU for that sum, said
the irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of service will go n long way,
suggested the male applicant
"Ah no, said the parson, ''you don't pay
for the size of the pill, but for the good you
hope 1t will do"
The lass, intent on marriage, began 10
weep. but the parson was memorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart just
then happy thought seemed to strike the
forlorn maiden, and she turned and cried
through her tears:
"Please, sir, if you can't marry MS FIJI
up, won't you marry us twenty-seven cents
worth: we can come for the rest some other
time"
This was too much for the parson. He
married them full up, and they went on
their way rejoicing. -

A PAINTING has been found in chamt er

and is the first of this kind which has been
brought to light, as the Romans ordinarily
selected NEUROLOGICAL, rural, or purely ideal
subjects. Misrepresentation shows that the
amphitheatre was planted with trees. The
execution is not above 2Inedioenty. Near
