Table Manners.
When to eat, and what, and how much,
are qustions which have been dbundantly
answered, we'll and i'll but it is not con-
siderei as it ought to be, that the attend
ants of the family table have much
larger share in promoting healthful
digestion than is generally supposed.
A good appetite. No one can eat in
comfort if any member of the family
appears at the table in satternly dress !:
with unkemrt hair; showing a breadth of
black under the finger nails, with a hawk
ing and splitting and blowing of the
nose, and their tremendous associations.
But the spotless napkin, the most splen-
did roast. and fnultless concomitants all,
what do these amoupt to, if sadness is
written on the face 6f the wife, if an
angry scowl CLEANS from the corrugated
brow Of morose husband, or a dissatis-
fed look comes from child's eye, and the
meal is partaken of in ominous silence
Away with such unoveliness there is no
sunshine in such household, and the
members of that family, if they grow up
at all, will become the refrigerators, the
hane, Of every company into which they
may be thrown in after life.
Rather let the family table be the place
Of glad re- unions; as much looked forward
to as the promised coming of cherished
friend let courtesies more than courtly
be ever cultivated; let smiles wreath every
face let calm satisfaction sit on every
countenance, let light hearts, and CHEEKY
words, and obliging acts, and watchtul
attentions, be the order of the day these
are the prompters of healthy digestion
and these are they which largely help to
make happy homes and good hearts and
generous natures.

Clark's Race Course.
BY special letter we were all invited
times corps, in force) TO witness the
opening of Gil. CLARK's Mississippi Race
Course at Pr. du CHEN. Our anticipa-
tons were exceeded by the reality. CARR,
1.-THE Hoosier gentleman of the Mondell
House did us the pleasure to travel his
fine trotter to the races. We were invited
to the Judges stand. Accepted. Found
Moshier, Ruble, Day, Sanford and
doing the judging; the Bloomington Band
lone story above us doing the music. The
trotting commenced "to co. after 5 or 6
attempts. Nobody seemed to be ready
The horses had been trained some days !;
the grooming was complete all seemed
to be in health, grooms, riders and horses.
Finally, Mack of Minneapolis, Buckskin
of Dubuque, Jennie Day of McGregor,
after half dozen efforts, were told to
GO! Jennie Day did the best stepping,
but she lost her balance, ran into her
neighbours sulky and hurt her leg badly !;
after the second heat she was obliged to
be Withdrawn. Mack and Buckskin drove
it through, the latter winning the
best three in Eve by hard effort.
| Time, 46, SO and 81. The running was
done by Merrill, Sorrel Dan, Puss, Lilly,
Straight. out, Kitty Hanson, Limerick Boy,
AID others. The field was full Of first
| class horses of the Northwest. After
many efforts to start, the judges got
impatient and said $50 p and they went.
We do not know the time made, but Mer-
rill won the purse after several heats.
Our horse-knowledge is not immense,
and Of course We report in brief. The
quarter race did not come off. AL the
afternoon was used up before 1900 people,
one quarter Of whom were ladies, in two
decided races. We must have more busi-
ness speed hereafter. Clark's grounds are
beautifully located. Before autumn the
track will be more solid, its notoriety will
be more general, and we can promise our
selves a Northwestern Race Course not
exceled on the River. Mr. Clark is SUI
peror horseman and gentlemanly man
ager. At the September races we think
not less than 5000 will be present
not including those liberal hearted moth.
