CALUAfNY,

Tue rules of politness are never at vari.
encs with the principles Of morality.
Whatever is really impoIite s really i'm
moral. We have no right to offend PEG
pie with our manner or conversation. We
have no right to deal with or be influ-
encsd by gossip about The people we
meet. There private affairs are none of
Our business. IF we believe man to be
unfit company for US, we must not invite
him; but if we meet him where he has
been invited by others, we must treat him
with civility. IF we know man or
woman to be a grave offender, we cannot
use that knt Wedge to injure him or her,
unless it il absolutely needful for The
protection of others. The greatest and
best men in the world have been aseailed
with calumny. The pu1 est and noblest
do not escape it. We canuot investigate
AS rule we must disregard--all Sian
ders. Where great offenses become noto-
rious, the offenders must be excommuni-
Gated. La all other cases we must give
every one the benefit Of doubt; apply
charitable constructions, hope for the
pest, and consider every one innocent
until he is proven guilty. sa "eE4

As an instance of the manner in which
merchants clerks were corrupted by
Jayne, IN order t" obtain possession of
books and papers by which he could man
utacture affidavlts on which to obtain
warrants TO seize, the New York Tribune
publishes the statements of various mer-
chants il that city who have been victims
of these outrages. One mercnant had his
books seized for an alleged technical
fraud. The Information on which the
seizure was made by Jay ne YVES obtained
through the corruption of clerk named
Clark, who, while in the employ of the
firm, had access to the books and papers
oil the concern. Jayne at various times
paid Clar k sums aggregating several hun
dred dollars, while in the emp loyment
the firm. He also agreed to pay Clark
one third or the intormers share: When
the case was finally made up the clerk
suddenly disappeared, and in few days
Jayne suddenly made his app earance and
seized the books and papers af the house.
The clerk had charge of the firms Custom
House business, and the omissions for
which the seizure was made were COM
mitted by him. Jayne also, it is stated
sought to convict some extensive liquor
importers BY bribing gauger to under.
gauge their mportations, but this failing,
be employed clerk to furnish him with
papers and to assist him in working up a
case. A large number of similar instan-
ces of this kind are narrated, all going to
show the tyranny to which the merchants
have beer subjected.

sUFFERINGs OF BORDER COUNTY RES

SUFFERINGS OF BORDER COUNTY RESI-
DENTS.
ATcHIsON, KAN, Nov. 2l.-The Daily Champion
publishes from advance sheets of official reports
made to the State Board Of Agriculture some
statistics showing the restitution existing in sew
eral Of the frontier counties Of the State seven
teen counties in which an aggregate Of $4,000
acres had been planted in corn produced not a
bushel OF this cereal. Five Of these counties pro-
dueed an average crop of wheat, rye, oats, bar
ley and buekwheat, and are abundantly able to
relieve any Individual cases OF deiutiOn in their
midst. The other twelve counties, having an
aggregate population Of 5000, are all on the re-
mote frontier, and settlements in them have all
been made within three years The eighth, in
which the greatest destitutiOn prevails have all
been populated within the past year or two, and
q greater part Of their population settled within
their limits either last spring or tho preceding
fall. These eight have an aggregate population
Of 1900 settlers, who generally had their frst
crop planted. They had expended all Of their
means in building their houses. and putting in
their crops.
The drought and grssshoppers wrought total
destruction OF everything they had planted, lsav-
ing them totally destitute. They are without
either food, clothing, fuel to sustain them until
they can procure something on which to live, and
must be sustained by the charitable cOntribu-
lions OF people IN Other sections OF the SAFE anu
country at large.
The Champion computes the number Of desti-
tute in the State at from 10000 to 5000, but Of
these many are located in the older counties
where the crops, with the exception Of corn, were
fair average, and more fortunate citizens are
able and willing to help their destitute neigh
bOrs; but in the new counties restitution is very
general, and almost the whole population will
need more or less assistance At least 10 900 peO-
pie must be assisted during the winter and until
another crop Is grown.

THE TURF

THE BIG RACE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 2l.-The trOt for purse
of six thousand dollars, mile heats best three in
five, TO wagon, postponed from November :, took
place to-day at the Golden Gate Driving Park,
the contestants being Oecident, Judge Fullerton
and Sam Purdy. Occident had the call In betting
until this morning, when Fullerton became the
fayorite at slight odds; Sam Purdy last choice.
The weather was fair and attendance immense.
In scoring for positions, Sam Purdy drew the
pole and Judge Fullerton outside. Just before
the horses were called Occident was selling at
500, Judge Fullerton $3.50 and sam PuTdy at SI5.
The horses were called up at 2:GO o'clock, but
owing to the nervous restlessness Of OccIdent it
was 2:45 o'clock before they finally started. After
scoring three times Judge Fullerton won the
heat in 2.2O1E, Sam Purdy second and Occident
last, four lengths behind the distance flag.
The bad behavior of Oecident caused his friends
to lose faith in him, and he began to sell low in
the pools. The judges refused to rule him out as
distanced, which caused much dissatisfaction
among the friends Of the other two contestants.
There were great many Intellectual attempts at
the start in the second heat, Occdent being still
restless and breaking badly. After scoring no
less than twelve times the horses finally got
started at five minutes past four. Judge Fuller
ton again came in first in 2:223Z; Sam Purdy Sec
Ond, and Oecident seventy-fve yards behind. Be
fore the start for this heat Hiekox the driver Of
Fullerton, was fined SIS for using impudent Ian
guage TO the judges. They ordered him not to
water bis horse On the track, upon which HickOx
remarked that they were putting on airs. Before
the start for the third heat Judge Fullerton was
great iavcrie in the pool selling at $500 against
$3.50 on the field, The horses were called at 4:3O,
and easily effected start. Judge Fullerton
again came in ahead in 2s2lJI, winning the race.

country and through strange fields, re-
quires courage, and to ride for hours and hours,
mile after mile, almost without cessation, re-
quires physical strength. But the gratifying ex-
element is reeompense far the exertion Of all
the present age and brings into play all the bet
ter characteristics Of a man who has the least
quality Of bravery in him, and Withal is health
full. The spice Of danger attending the chase is
sufficient TO arouse feeling of pride, and at the
same time to make the participant more conf
dent Of his own abilities, not only as hOrsem2n,
but in every other respect. 1t inculcates a love
for the horse and the dog, mans most faithful
and intelligent friends among the brute creation,
and serves TO invigoTate the communities in
which the sport is patronized with a spirit
of adventure, the usefulness OF which
was fully demonstrated during our late civil war.
But it costs something. The dogs must be fed
on eorn-bresd-onee or twice a day, must be Jared
for and doctored when they are sick, and the
horses must be kept in good condition, and a man
must have good lungs to hunt we'll. The horn Of
the hunter, familiar as our party were with
horns, was one thing we couldn't manage. 1t is
made Of an ox's horn, and gives forth note, when
blown by sillful lips, as clear and ringing as the
notes of cavalry bugle. To blow It and call the
dogs of one trail and shark" them on to another
IS mastery qualification, only equaled by the
senseof supreme command over body OF men,
for The dogs, in their way are as quick as apt and
as Intelligent as human beings; and 70 rally the
hunt from one point to another is a victory OF
which any leader might be proud. Long live the
chase Long live the fox hunters!
