Money Makes the Mare Co."

AS matter of news and to show the
amount money represented by the trot-
ting and pacing horses OF the country, we
have taken the pains to 90 over the calen-
dar of 1871, which furnishes US with the
following figures: .....I .s rrsr a.. +.
There were | ,4T6 trotting and pacing
races in the United States, amounting In
value to S705'23l. These trots and pac
ing races were divided as follows: 1899
trotting Iaces in harness, wagon and sad
die, in 205 of which the amount of the
purse or premium is omitted; three at
half. mile heats one at three quarters OF
a mile heats ten at two mile heats one
at three miles the balance mile heats, or
mile heats best three in five, amounting
to S7l5,05l. SD
There were seventy.o one double team
trots, in eleven of which the purses are
omitted, amounting to S2S,035 There
were l06 pacing races Gu twenty one
amount of purse is omiited). SIT, ,l45.-
There was one halt. mile heat pace and one
of two mile heats. .rsr.
OF the 237 trots and pacing races, IN
which the purses are omitted, 1t is reason
able to say that they would not fall short
of $50, 900, which would give us about
1000, 900 as to the amounts of the
stakes, PURSES and premiums for the
year 1871 So our readers can judge from
these figures what an immense sum the
trotting turf in the county represent

Any man sufficiently blessed with courage

Gen. Garfield on National Education
LFro-1 the New York HorId.I

ltro-n the New D ork World
We are always glad to signify our
concurrence in the sound views of a
political opponent, both because we
are willing to contribute to the eOur-
tesies of political intercourse, and
smooth the asperities of partisan war
fare, and because we welcome the
support of enlightened men in the
opposition in promoting objects Of
common interest.
The recent speech of Mr.. Garfield,
Of Ohio, on the bill to apply the net
proceeds of the public lands to estab-
lish a fund for the education of
the people, deserves unqualified ap-
prevail and admiration. Mr.. Garfield
is one of the members of Congress
whose minds rise above the narrow
ing influence of party prejudice and
education is q subject in which he
continues to take lively interest, in
consequence of his having been en-
gagged in the business of instruction
in the earlier part Of his manhood.
lie favOrs the creation of the pro-
posed education fund, and we are
gratified to find that he would aban-
don aud oppose it rather than disturb
the present American system of State
and local control over our common
schools and higher seminaries. One
of the notices which he has affixed to
his published speech, quoted from
John Stuart, Mill, is the keynote Of
his argument; That all education
should be in the hands of a central
lied authority. and
be consequently all framed on the
same model, and directed to the per-
petuatiOn of the same type, is state
of things which, instead Of becoming
more acceptable, will sssuredly be
more repugnant to mankind with
every step of their progress in the
unCettered exercise OF their highest
faculties" ...
The bill on which Mr.. Garfield ex-
presses his sentiments proposes, yith-
out any change in the present land
policy, to give the whole net proceeds
OF the public lands to the cause of
education. During the last fifteen
years these net proceeds have amount
ed to SS3, ,000, 900. This may seem
large aggregate sum, but it is a baga-
telle when distributed Ii, is less than
one dollar per capita with our present
population, and Considering that it is
only the interest that can be applied
to the support of schools, it is really
very insignificant. A fund to begin
now and increase only at the rate of
two or three millions year, can have
no considerable efficiency for twenty
years TO come, though it may prove a
great benefit to the next and still fu-
ture generations.
Mr.. Garfield would oppose the erea-
ton of any such fund at all, If IL
were to be used TO promote a central
lied control over the educational sys-
tenn of the country. He depreeates
uniformity as an evil, and would not
interfere with the Independent local
systems Of education which prevail
in the several States. He would
merely require the local authorities
to make regular reports of the man
ner in which they apply their respect
i've shares of the educational fund,
but leave them, in other repeoes ct
entire liberty,

WHEN DO MEN DIE

Medical experience proves that, IN
chronic diseases, the greater number
of deaths occur just before daEn.--
This is eminentIy true of brain dis
eases, and of all those related cases
where death results from an exhRus-
ton of the power, through overweTiS,
excessive excitement, or nervous pros
tratiOn. 1t is at the hour Of . O'Clock
in the morning that the life force is at
its lowest ebb, and succumbs most
rapidly to the assault of epilepsy, or
paralysys, or of the fatal lethargy that
comes in those .viyidly beautiful pic
tured dreams for which medical sell
enee has as yet found no name, and OF
which it has taken no sufficient cog
nizauee. Ninetenths of those who
die in this way expire IN their sleep.
In many such cases, If friend We're
at hand to awaken the sleeper when
the attack comes on, or If be were to
awaken by some accidental noise. he
might, by few simple precautions.
prOlOng his life for many years, for
the shock which proves fatal to the
man wrapped in deep sleep, when the
system Is passive and relaxed, would
be victoriOusly Ispelled were it armed
with all its waking energies Men
who do brain-work, and who are on
the shady side of forty, should be on
their guard against this insidious ene-
my. They should beware Of 5o'clOc'k
a. M, for il is perilOus hour. Do
you find yourself unable 10 sleep,
when you retire for the night, exhaus-
ted with the days work? Do old
saws. ard scraps OF rhyme, repeat
themselves in your memory with
wearisome iteration, defying your
utmost efforts to silence them2 Then,

we are very particular about the

we sell any we test every parcel. You

seven ounces of castor Oil some days,

to test anything; but, as a general
thing, you can count upon-say from
six 10 ten doses Of something daily

millions of Papists." He would say
to the priests and grOgshOp keepers,
" If you don't like to have the Bible
in the public schools pack your trunks
and leave. "Rather than let the
opponents of the Bible destroy this
exponent of our freedom, let us, he
said, ' twenty-seven millions in all,
rally under the standard of Christ
and defy the Pope, the priests, the
grogshOp keeper, the devil or any
other man to lay unhOly hands upon
the printed word of God" Such in
temperate language is certain to DAM
age the cause in whose service it Is
used, rather than that to which il is
opposed, and, uttered by a Christian
minister and before a Christian con-
gregation, it is doubly reprehensible.

/ expensive common schools, who seek
their reward in this world It is a
grave matter of complaint, loudly
uttered by this financial report, that
these preachers Of the Gospel have
not an additional allowance made to
them, because they generously defer
the enjoyment of their full pay to the
next world. Certainly this act of
self denial, which, we think, will be
eternally protraeted, should plead in
their behalf, and bring down upon
their heads more eopious golden show
ers."
There is much more of this fer
quantity, but it is so bitter that we
must fOrego its reproduction. We
have given sufficient to show that our
fears as to the consequences Of this
strife after the benighted souls of the
African were justified. Naturally the
editor of the Telegraph extols the
character Ofthe Catholic mission aries.
They prosper in poverty; they initiate
those who first preached Christ cruci-
fed to the world; they are poor that
they may enrich others; they are dis
pensers of charity, not its recipients;
they distribute the loaves and fishes,
not eat them; money can not buy
their services, no salary can purchase
their success. Concerning all of which
the outside world will have its own
opinions. 2 .H

Methodists in the South are only

shall be moderation that grace may
abound. This pulling of sectarian
hair across the face of the continent
is not agreeable, even from a secular
point of view. We prefer to see the
brethren dwell together in unity
This wicked and unsanetified world
has enough discordant noise and dis
traction without adding to il a new
jangle of eceesiastieal horns. The
