TROTTING EXTRAORDINARY.
Two Hundred Miles in Forty. five
Hours.

Hours.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the 14th
aud 18th inst, the Driving Park at st.
Paul, Mimi, was the scene of al extraor-
binary trot, Mr.. Martin Delaney matching
his sorrel mare "a small fell blOoded Nor
GAM to tIot 200 miles in forty-eight hours
iOr the small stake of $500. The st. Paul
Press says of the first day:
The trot was commenced yesterday at
twenty minutes past four A. NJ, Mr.. j. Gun
mugs holding the ribbons. The mare
started out at rate OF more than ten
miles an hour, for the first two hours, and
was gradusliy slowed to about an average
Of zen miles an hour. At five minutes past
ten she had CO pleted the first fifty miles,
making it in some five hours and forty five
minutes. She was then given q rest Of
three hours and half, and was started at
little past halEpast one on the second fifty
miles. At ha f-past seven she had compile
ted it, having made the first hundred miles
in fifteen hours, which leaves thirty-three
hours for the completion of the other hun
dred. She made the last mile of her first
hundred yesterday the fastest Of sny-hVe
al ID one-half minutes. Those who Wit
messed the feat say that the mare showed
no sign of fatigue, never sweat hair, and
trotted off to the stable to feed at the end Of
her days labor as briskly as though she had
lust come from the barn.
OF the second the same paper says:
Wednesday the first one hundrei miles
was completed, and at halt past seven
o'clock the mare was driven to the stable
apparently in as good condition as if she
had only travelled one-quarter OF the dis
tance. Yesterday morning when taken out
of the barn at five o'clock to complete the
trot she seemed little sore at first, but soon
warmed up and commenced her days work
with wonderful ease. At ten O'Clock she
bad completed thirty one miles, and was
withdrawn until four minutes past twelve
P. NJ. After this rest, in which she mani
tested no signs of WEAKNESS, she made her
next seven miles in one hour and two min
utes. No pains were TAX n to keep regu-
lar account of her rate of spec, but in
general terms it averaged through the day
about six minutes and nve and one-half sec
onds per mile for the f st fifty miles, and
seven minutes and two and half seconds
for The seco: d Efiy miles. After the rest
given the msre-from seven until nine
o'clock in the evening all parties on the
ground saw that she would make her two
hundred miles easily. She pursued her
even gait, and a few minutes past one
o'clock this morning completed the race,
making her last mile in Eiue minutes and
thirsy-one seconds. Thus she won the wa
ger, and In three hours less than the time
gwen her. She trotted of the track seem
ingly unconscious of the marvel she had
performed.

ST SPEAKER BLAINE
Has spat with Brigham Young.


Views Of tine Man from Maine.
SALT LAKE, May PA morning news
paper gives the following accouns of an in
terview between Speaker Blaine and Young,
in which Blaine reminded Brighsm that the
Presidential contest of 1861 was fought on
the distinct issue of the right OF Congress
to control ths domestic institutions OF the
Territories, and Lincoln was chosen on
that Ground; that Congress exer-
eised its power by a6olishing the relation Of
master and slave and its authority was
plenarS in the premises, and the extent of
its exercise mater OF discretion; that the
organic act of Utah by its terms was sub
ject to amendment, alteration and repeal,
and that no enactment of the Territorial
Legislature was of the slightest validity If
Congress chose TO annul It.. .a
Said Brigham: If that's your doctrine our
interests and our rights demand that we be
admitted ssa State. We had the requi lite
population, resources and wealth.
1t may be true Mr.. Young, Blaine re-
Piled that you have the necessary population
and wealth, but speaking to you with the
fraDkness with which should speak, were
1 ON the floor Of congress. must say that
Utah can never be admitted as q State so
lO16 as tuC lDSbibublOu VI -pOiySatu1 10 up-
held and prscsised by the Mormon church,
and as1 understand BY the great mass of
your people. .
This remark seemed to nettle Brigham
considerably, but he kept bis temper and
proceeded to long dissertation on the
relative purity Of morals of Eastern cities
in comparison with the morals of Utah,
contending that The superiority is on the
side of the latter.
But, Mr.. Young, rejoined the Speaker,
what you denounce in the East is done
against law, clandestineIy, and is admitted
to be wong, even by those who indulge it.
What you do in Utah is not only done
openly, by the sanction of law, but has the
pprovsl of the church. With such prac-
tices and opinions, radically differing with
those of the pc pie of the United States,
you cannot, in my Judgment, ever be sd-
mitted 10 participation in the government
of the United States.
Well, then, said Brigham, what are you
going to do about il? You seem always to
be worrying over Utah in Congress aud at
tempting legisl alton for US.
Why, replied Blaine, what specific meas
ures Congress may adopt, it is not for me
to say.

special says the colsred supporters o.. the
Kellogg State Government held large
meeting at Mechanics Ins itute last evening
for the purpose of arranging for the better
presentation of their cause to the peop.e Of
me whole country. Lieut.. Gov. Anteine
presided, and Gov. kellogg and several of
his prominent State officials were on the
platform. Speeches were made by the
leading colored orators of the State. Resolu-
tioDs were adopted asserting that Kellogg
was legally elected, and that his Importers
were shamelessly abused and deprived of
tn ir rights last fall; also providing for the
appointment of a committee whose duty ii
shall be to send North some of their sblest
colored orators and organize in every ar
ish of the State committee on evidence
and selection of witnesses, and to do every
thing that is necessary to remove misap-
prehension in the North of the state Of af-
fairs in Louisiana, and to present Kellogg's
case in the strongest light before Congress

L. L. Martinez, who made the affidavit on
which Gen. DeBlanc and nine others were
arrested, says he made the affidavit on The
strength of information which led him TO
fear the colored people might meet the
Grant parish fate, unless preventive meas
ures were used. His information was in
the form of letter, signed by five persons,
who, when called upon, stated that they
knew nothing against the prisoner, and the
men mentioned in the affidavit as having
been intimidated, and whose names, it is
understood, were filled in after the Gfidauit
acaS signed, were equally ignorant of any
wrong on the part of DeBlanc and his men.
Martinez admitted that he had consulted
with Kellogg and Mr.. BelliDgs before max
ing the affidavit, but refused to say whether
they advised it or not.

causes acting upon the system. Sill there
is no reason yet to believe that Asistic
cholera has made It's appearances in New
Orleans; and there is certainly mo reason
for any excitement on the subject in this
section. But the health of our cities and
towns will be promoted BY putting them in
a athoroughly sanitary condition, and no ef-
fort in that direction should be relaxed by
the authorities.

THE dry realism with which some peo-
pie think it fine to trsnsmogrify and spoil
all the best of Scripture stories was carried
to ridiculous excess lately by a New
Hampshire clergyman. He was preaching
about Jonah, and thus did he emplify "I
seem to see Jonah passing along TIE road
to N'nevsh; seem to zee him entering the
ticket office, buy his ticket and pay for it; l
seem to see him walK upon the vessel;
seem to see them lift their anchor and the
stately ship move grandly out upon the broad
Atlantic" In this we do not know which
to admire most--the Chadbandian rhetoric
or the geography.

ideGce. The lightning first made its appear
ance in the family room, apparently coming
down the chimney fiue, filling the room,
striking Mrs. Younglove and causing her
to fall upon the floor in an insensible con-
dition. Thence its frolics showed their
marks in the store Immediately below,
where the conclusion caused considerable
plastering to fall from the ceiling, filing the
store with livid fire, birthstone, and sui
phur. A spark falling upon the coal oil re-
servoir caused blaZl to issue from il,
which was extinguished before any damage
was incurred. Several persons
were in the store, and ali felt the shock
more or less. Mr.. Bone Lucas, a very
flesby old gentleman, said it burnt his back
worse than ever his father did. Mrs
Younglove was restored in few minutes.
A physician was called in, although she is
i'll no danger; nevertheless she is in no very
pleasant conoition, and certainly made
very narrow escape. This streak Of light

the most appalling and most terrific ever

women and children rushed to and fro,
every one thinking that they were certainly
about on the verge Of destruction.

Is THERE CHOLERA IN NEW
ORLEANSe

The Louisville COurier-J Journal of 9th
in t. says:
"The reports from New Orleans concern
ing the existence OF Asistic cholera in that
city are as conflicting as the stories of the
ssintelligent contrsband" during the late
war. From official aud other quarters the
information comes that there is 2 great deal

CholerA msrbus and cholera infantum had
resul ed, prevailing to an unusual extent;
but, if there were really any cases of geDu-
inc Asiatic cholera in the city, they were
only sporadic and few. He left New Or
leans last Saturday, and had, only day or
two previous, got The certificate OF DR..
White, the Health Officer of New Orleans,
TO the fact that the city was comparatively
free from the disease. He had procured
this Certificate IN order TO satisfy the Span
ish Consul at that port, and the Consul i'm

New Orleans vessels from quarantine, which
was doue. MT. Cretvy is indoIsed as a
busine man of standing and reliability,
but The weight ofthe testimony is so strong
~ against him that the public will be apt to
believe that he is mistaken"
We think it likely the excitement about
cholera in New Orleans has grown out OF
the prevalence Of cholera morbus in that
city, which has resulted from the too free
use OF unripe or stale fruits and immature
vegetables. A similar indulgence any
where would produce this disease, and
there is little doubt it has done SO at Men,
phis and other cities and towns along the
mississippi, and on board steamers on that
river. This is of yearly occurr 2nce, very
likely the disease appearing in a moro vir-
ulent form one year than another

DIR. Franc Haynes Gordon was born at
Gordonsville, Smith county, Tenn, AUG.
4, 1904, and died May 10, 1873, at his late
residence in Smith county. He was the
fourth chilG of the late John Gordon, who,
with bis wife, whose maiden name was
Alice Amis, emgrated from Rogersville,
East Tennessee, and settled in Smith
county /" April, 1901. John Gordon was
the second Sheriff of Smith county, and
held that Office as principal and deputy four
teen years and Line months consecutively.
He resigned il in the fall of 1877 to take
his ssAt in the State Senate, to which he
had been elected at the biennial election of
that year. His old school-mates, Hugh L.
White, Thomas II. Benton and John Bell
were members u the Senate the same ses-
sion. Mr. Gordon was a man of high
order of iutellecs, as was Mrs. Gordon, and
they both possessed great native force of
character. They lived to the age of S5
years, be dying in January, 1860, and she in
August, 1854.
From these parents the subject of this
notice inherited high intellectual powers,
and temperament which gave him strong
mental activities. His life was very active
one. FL was for several years a teacher,
and as such be had no supericrs, and it is
confidently believed but few equals. His
career as teacher covered a space Of 1lteen
or twenty years. For more than a quarter
of century his pupils have filed high posi-
tiOns in all the Southwestern States.
In 1884, in connection with the lite
James B. Moores, Esq, he established
Clinton Co lege. This, though success
ful educational enterprise, was to him pc
cuniary failure. The sessions of that school
were eleven months, aud the charges for
board and tuition were only eighty dollars.
This proved It's ruin. He then commenced
the practice of medicine. He bad b en-
studying medicine as a science more than
twenty years. he attended course of lee
lures at the city Of Louisville, and at the
close received diploma, as he would have
world where qualifications were regarded.
At once he was at the head of lhe profession
in bis native county.
But profoundly learned as DR.. Gordon
was as physician, eminently successful
asa practitioner as be became, and just
as was his renown as teacher, it was as
writer on the subjects of Agriculture and
Horticulture that he achieved his widest
reputation. Indeed although he welded a
facile pen, he wrote but little on any other
subject. For more than thirty years,
scarce month passed without an article
appearing from his pen in some Agricultu-
ra, journal, except during the late war be-
tween the States. To bis able and intelli-
gnt advocacy, as much, or more, than
to any other one man is to
be attributed tne improve
ments in husbsndry, in Tennessee,
the last twenty or thirty years.
