The Fastest Trotter in the World-A
z. i 5 Horse.
From the San Francisco (Cal) Reporter.

The chances are that the celebra-
ted horse Dexter will have to take
d back seat before long. Yesterday
at the park the mysterious "Stand-
ford horse was driven around the
track in q sulky by "Yank" Smith,
who has the animal in his charge.
The first half mile was trotted over
at moderate speed, but Smith let
him out, and he crossed thescore in
/: O7. Keeping right on at slow
er trot, till the last half mile was
reached the wonderful horse was
urged to his speed, and made the
last half mile in 1: OIL. His time
was noted by several reliable and
experienced parties, among whom
may be mentioned Charley Shear
and George Gilbert. Leland Stand
ford, the owner of the horse, was al
so on the ground. There is no doubt
about this time having been made,
and it is the fastest on record. A
well known sporting gentleman who
saw the trial, offered to wager ST.
900 that he could take the horse for
a week and drive him a mile at 2:
15. The horse has a somewhat ro-
mantle history, and, like many
bipeds in this country, his elevation
from hard work and obscuritv to
fame and ease has been rapid and
remarkable. Not many months ago
he did service in a butchers cart in
this city, and was sold for the paltry
sum of $3.50. Stamford paid So
900 for him, and could probably get
$50, 900 now for his bargain. The
pedigree of the horse is in dispute,
but those who have the best reason
to know state that he is a St. Clair.

A Story of a Graveyard.

A correspondent Of Notes and
Queries writes: In the churchyard
of Tewin Herts, is a remarkable ash
tree growing out of the tomb Of La
dy Anne Grimstone, nee Tuition.
daughter Of Lady Thanet, who died
in 1713. The tradition is that, be-
ing doubtful of future state, she
expressed wish or prayer that if
there were future state, a tree
might grow out of her heart. What
foundation is there for this tradition?
The edition adds: Oddly enough,
the following paragraph, extracted
from the Spiritual Times { Decemb-
er %, 1869 bearing on the same
subject, reached us simultaneously
with the above. To use the words
of our correspondent, Mr.. Axon,
"Can any one elucidate this marve-
lous legend p No reference to it
is made in Clutterbuck's Histories
and Antiquities of the Comfy of
Hartford: - can Atheist Prophe-
cy Fulfilled. The churchyard of
levin, in Hertfordshire, is spot of
some interest to the curious, from
the fact of it's being the resting
place of the mortal remains of Lady
Anne Grimstone. The old wife S
tale of the ncighborhood is to the
effect that the said Lady Anne
Grimstone was an Atheist, without
a shadow of belief in the Deity; and
that so firm was her belief in the
non-existence of God. and at her
death-bed her last words were to the
effect that, if God existed, seven
elm trees would grow out of her
tombstone. Whether such words
were used, and in such a manner,
it is impossible to determine; but,
whether the tale be correct or not,
seven elm-trees have sprung up
through the solid tomb, and have
broken away the solid masonry in all
directions, making the reading of
the inscription a difficult and almost
impossible feat. The iron ratings
that surrounded the monument are,
in many places, firmly imbedded in
the trunks of the trees. The nu-
merous names carved in all availa-
BILE parts of the trunks attest the
number of visitors curiosity has
drewn to the spot. The trees are
each distinct and separate, and,
Notwithstanding the strangeness OF
the locality, appear to thrive well
Many suppositions to account fol-
their growth have been started, but
some are of so improbable nature
that the country people still cling tc
their favorite old sorry of Lady
Anne's atheism.

The following amusing incident
lately occurred in a village in Ire

draper's shop to purchase some rib
bon. The shopnlan produced very
fine article, but she objected to it on
the grounds that the shade of the
color did not exactly suit her. 'sOh

he entered into disquisition upon
the extraordinary power of magma

attentively, and then consented to
have three yards of the ribbon put
up. She put it quietly into her
pocket and was about to walk off.

NEWSPAPERS VERSUS TOBACCO.

Can afford to take paper did you say?
Well, we'll that is just what an acqnain-
tauce of mine told me the other day.
Now [ have heard that man say his to-
bacco costs him at least $I2. 90 per year.
Now how much reading matter would

you? Let us see. 1t would get for you

tie Corporal for the children, $3.50; a
local paper, s.. 90; and then leave a dol
lar to pay the postage on your severa &C
celZent Journals. Now my kind friends,
all these are the price of your tobacco,
and if you are a reasonable man, you
must acknowledge that you pay very
dearly for it. Now suppose you should
quit the habit for year, and substitute
all these means of education for that bad
smelling old tobacco box. Do you not
think you would feel better satisfied at
the end Of the year. with the manner in
which the $1,000 had been expended?
If you are a true father you certainly
would; if brute perhaps not.
Now don't turn away in that pettish
manner and say, nonsense u SO forci-
bly,. just think fairly and honesty for
one moment, whether it is nonsense
When you have nothing of more impor-
lance to think of, spend a little time on
this question of economy; which can you
better afford to do; indulge in a filthy
disagreeable habit, and on account of it
be unable to furnish your children, your
wife and yourself, plenty of good reading
matter, or break away the habit and put
the money to the use VIC speak Of

it is necessary for you? Then you have

But boys don't you go on making such
abject slaves of yourselves, as your faith

not men, especially those who are slaves
to their own passions and appetltes.
