GIN. rALMER.

We publish in another column to-day
communication from this gallant and very
popular gentleman to the voters of the
fourth Congressional district, in which, in
the manifest and most graceful manner, he
declines the race for Congress. We were
somewhat surprised TO receive this card as
our information from the district, as ex-
pressed through the county papers, was ex-
ceedingly favorable and fattering to his
prospects for election. His declination,
however, is placed upon the highest and
most praise worthy grounds. Gen. Bright is
also a candidate in the same district
for reelection, and Gen. Palmer, as he
states in his card, seeing the danger to the
party in the event he ran the race through,
foregoes his chances of a seat nCOngI ess, and
m2gnauimously wiLhdraws. His example is
certainly worthy of imitation, and his comse
can but strengthen the already powerful
hold he has, and deserves to have, upon the
people of his district, aud of the whole
State. Gen. Bright now has no opposition
and viii doubtless be returned to serve his
second term. The action Of Gen. Palmer,
as stated, only advances him in popular es-
timatiou, and the promotion he merits at
the hands of the people is but question Of
time.

TEE OUTLOOK IN mICHTGAN

The Detroit Free Press expresses the be-
lief that the electoral vote of Michigan will
be cast for Greeley and Brown. That pa
per says; . .e-
The first impulse is to laugh at such an
assertion as this; but little examination
will convince one that il is not at all CHM
erical. The heaviest vote ever cast in that
State was in 1868, being 225,619, of which
Grant received l2S,550 or 81 per cent, an d
Seymour $1,000, or 43 per cent. At the
election for Governor in 1870, in a t otal
vote of 18S,567 votes, Baldwin rece ived
IOOl76 votes or "a per cent, of the whole,
Goinstock 1891, or 44a per cent, and
Fish. the temperance candidate, 2,71O, IL
per c.nt. A fair estimats of the vote which
will be cast in November places it at 100000,
of which, on the basis of lS6S--whichi the
most unfgvorable to the Democracy of any
ever cast in 200 would be
Radical and Ill 800 Democratic. BIT OF
the thirty thousand, or thereabouts, of the
voters who will cast their vote for the first
time in November, two-thirds at least viii

this fact into consideration it viii be seen

The Maid at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, July 26.-Over five thous-
and people attended the trotting races at
Exposition Park this afternoon. No pools
were sold, and but few side bets were made
and those on the time. The weather was
fair and hot.
The race between Goldsmith Maid and
Lucy, mile heats, best 3 in 5, was won by
Goldsmith Maid in three straight heats.
Time, 2:19, 2:17aa, and 2:21. In the first
two heats Lucy was not above half sec
ond behind Goldsmith Maid. The track
was little heavy. Had it been in first
rate condition, the time might have been a
second and a half faster.
The second race. mile heats, best three
IN five, was won by Jay Gould over Tom
Young, in three straight heats. Time
2:2S, $50, 2:24a. Young lost the advant-
age by break on the home stretch.

An English clergyman cautions our bur-
lesque writers against employing the gods
of Greece and Rome in their works, lest in
some future civilization they should be re-
paid by like use of our own sacred PER-
sonages. Perhaps he may n fer to some Of
the so-called "ChIistian Legends" of Ger
man medieval origin, Of which this is a
specimen; The devil, gentleman of fine
appearance, but with a sinister look about
the mouth and eyes, has purchased Of a
certain knight, not himself, but bis wife,
and comes to claim his bargain. The wife,
devout woman, in her distress prsys to
the Virgin. During her prayers she falls
asleep and the Virgin takes her place. The
Devil behaves with great galantry, and the
Virgin rather encourages his attentions,
saving to herself that she will take him up
to the gates of heaven, nail him against one
of the door posts, and expose him. to the
ridicule of the blessed inmates. To improve
his personal appearance, the devil plucks a
a violet, which has the effect of restoring
his ancient angelic liniaments of the period
before his fall. The Virgin employs a
counter charm. and the struggle between
evil and good is continued for some time,
until al last the devil gets free, bat bears
away with him some marks Of the contest.

New ORLEANS enjoys the unenviable
distinction Of being the most heavily taxed
city in the United States. The funded
municipal debt on the 3Gth of June was
$40, 3,659, which has almost entirely ac-
crued since the close of the war, and for
which the city has little or nothing to show.
The property valuat on of the city is $685.
100000, and the interest on the debt, to-
gether with the current expenses of the
municipal government, make total city
tax of three and one-third per cent. To
this must be added the State tax, which is
very heavy. es --aft --
