Agricultural Associations do not ad.

Agricultural Associations do not adj
vance the interests Of the turf When
they tolerate at their fairs, in connec-
tiou with speed, rings, side shows, top
spinners and ice-throwers. Aud yet,
according to the Burlington Hank Eye,
at an agricultural fair held at that i'm
portaut Iowa city, these outside nuisau-
ces were made a part Of the exhibition.
As the speed ring is generally the most
popular place on the fair ground, the
sharpers aud swindlers locate near II,
knowing that where the crowd is great
est the most gudgeons will be caught.
And so the evil is thus blindly charged
upon fast horses. Agricultural Asso-
ciations should strictly bear in mind
that turf prospects are injured, rather
than improved, when the speed contests
are introduced TO the public in connec.
tion with glariug abuses. Keep tho
sharpers at distance when you en-
courage fine horses TO put forth an
effort for victory. Turf Field and

The failure of the potato crop in Eu.
rope has brought out many curious ex.
plantations Of the phenomenon, the
principal one being the great prevalence
of thunder storms. Hence il is argued
that electricity not only turns beer and
cream sour, but also rots potatoes. A
plausible explanation, however, is the
theory that the potato plant is injured
by the excessive soaking of the soil
from sudden thunder showers. 10
France, the solution of bark run of
from tan pits, has been used with sue
cess as a manure sor potatoes, and after
a failure of several years, good crops
have been obtained BY the employment
Of this fertilizer.

after the rescue Of his college professor,
to cross the North sea; and ! knew at once
that it was conspiracy between these
two to make things appear easy and har-
monious. Next, there was Baron Charles
Lederer, the Austrian Envoy, fine,
quiet, superb man of the middle age,
with beautiful round head, iron-gray
hair, and profile like blooded kings.
He also seemed to be affable, and in the
habit of coming to this house; and | at
tributed this to the fact he did not know
our institutions and the horrible collapse
which Schurz had experienced. Then,

Won Arnim, was indicated as a scion of
one of the Oldest families in Europe.

CATION, Count Corti, the Italian Minis

came with ladies, and there were less
form and ceremony than / have ever

told bis son long ago that Morgan was
not killed, but was put on board Brit

son of Mr.. a., went to Plobartown, in
Van Dieman's Land, and there met an
old friend with whom he conversed
about Morgan. The old friend laughed
and said, Morgan is living here; | will

him to the Office of the Hobartown Ad-

Geographical puzzle.

We find the following puzzle from the
pen of Mrs. Edward Ashley Walker, in
a recent number of the Advance:
| was awakened one morning by a
Chinese seaport, and as the air was a
country of South America, | wrapped
myself in my cloak made of part of
the Chinese Empire, and lined with a
cape in the Southern part of the United
States, and busted myself in town on
the Schuylkill, until an island east of
Labrador called me to breakfast
A group of islands in the Gulf of
Mexico burned brightly on the hearth,
and another group lying west of Africa
greeted me with cheerful song.
Soon lake of North America brought
in breakfast, which consisted of an
Asiatic country, and a river of British
America well seasoned with a lake in
the western part of North America, and
a South American city. To these were
added group Of islands in the Pacific,
and a plentiful portion of an island in
the Atlantic.
AS / am naturally fond of another
group of islands in the Pacific, chatted
with city in Ohio, and after | had sat
isfed my appetite, which was at first
town in the southern part of New Hamp-
shire, | ate large group of islands
lying east of India with her. As she
was suffering with headache bathed
her head with city on the Rhine, but
stopped suddenly, on discovering that
the North American lake was Chinese
city!
/ assured him that he never would
obtain city in the western part of Mis-
souri,, unless he mended his ways, al
though my disposition toward him was
group of islands in the Pacific; but
should his conduct prove satisfactory, he
might look forward with an African cape
to obtaining town in Kentucky in due
time.
| then went out and enjoyed New
foundland cape, after lake of British
America, and, after returned, finding
that the children were making New
York lake, sent them all to bed, after
wishing good deal of a Scottish cape
upon them.

EapOIeOn's Property in New YOrk.
From the New York World.l
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has long been aesirous of expand
ing its headquarters in this city, and
some time ago an effort was made by the
company to purchase the Astor House
for its telegraphic centre. The attempt
failed, however, and no bargain could
be effected. By selecting the Astor
House it was intended to bring the enor-
nous business of the company in close
aud profitable proximity to the magnifi-
cent new postoffiee in process of erec-
ton near the City Hall. In consequence
Of the failure to purchase the Astor
House, second and more successful
bid was made for the desirable
property on the northwest corner
of Dey street and Broadway. This
estate extends between fifty and
sixty feet on the Broadway front
and runs back on Dey street to a
depth of one hundred and fifty feet. 1t
is at present occupied by several WELL
known firms, and is even now valuable
business center. The most interesting
fact connected with this estate is that il
was bought seven years ago by DR..
Evans, the well-known Franeo-American
dentist, for the Emperor Napoleon. 1t
is well-known that DR.. Evans was
great favorite with the Emperor, and
that he became in many matters his
confidential adviser. The property was
purchased in behalf Of Louis Napoleon,
by Dr. Evans, for $4,000. 1t was
bought Of DR.. Evans, in behalf Of the
ex-Emperor, BY the Western Union
Company, for $4,000; a profit, there
fore, aOcruing to the deposed monarch
of 100000. 1t is the intention of the
