THE FAMOUS ALEXANDER SToCK FARM ARD Old
JOHN HARPER Nine miles from Frankfort, on the
road to Lexington, stands one OF the finest and
richest farms in Kentucky--'hat owned by Mr..
Alexander. On this superb stock farm We saw
three hundred booded horses, ranging in rank
from old Lexington, the monarch of the turf, to
the kittenish and risky yearng. Here also Mr..
Alexander has collected $780, 900 worth of cattle.
We saw one diminutive heifer worth $27, 900,
and variety of foreign creatures whose value
seemed almost fabulous. On this farm are bred
the great majority of fine trotting and running
horses which appear in our parks during the
racing season. Mr.. Aexanders estate, which is
admirably stocked with fine farm houses, barns
and stables, and which is more like ducal manor
than the ordinary American farm, extends over
5000 acres.
Near by is old John EIarper's modest farm Of
1000 acres The roads, tee stone walls and the
iue lawns covered with massive shade trees,
make series of delightful pictures. The annual
sale of horses on the Alexander farm occurs in
June. Only yearling colts are sold. Hundreds
Of people from all the country around, aad fram
every Stale in the Union flock to this sale An
immense barbecue is held, and high wassail
marks the conclusion Of the occasion.

sTnllaPS Lick

millionaire of San Francisco, is a native of
Pennsylvania and is now seventy-eight years
old. He learned piano making in Philadel-
phia and removed in early life to South Amer
lea. He located in Peru and made a consid-
cradle fortune at his trade and in various 9TH
er pursuits. When gold was discovered in
California he sold out his property and effects
in Peru and started for San Francisco where
he landed with thirty thousand dollars. He
was then the richest man on the golden sands
of the new El Dorrdo. This was in 1s48. He
laid his plans to invest in real estate. He
bought none but choice lots and was sure to
see that he got good title. He carried out
strictly this plan and is still the wealthest
man in San Francisco. And what is singular
he has parted with every dollar of it before his
death in charitable and benefcent uses. He
has decided his entire estate to five trustees.
Seven hundred thousand dollars are to be de-
voted to constructing, some where on the
Pacific Slope, "the most powerful telescope yet
constructed" Three hundred thousand dol.
lars are to be devoted to the establishment of
"the California School of Mechanic Arts Tor the
education of males and females in the pract-
cal arts Of life." Two hundred and fifty thous
and dollars are to be spent in the erection Of
a monument designed to commemorate the his
tory Of California. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars are to be used in erecting free
baths for the use of the people Of San Francis
co. One hundred thousand dollars are to be
devoted to the establish ent OF home for old
ladies who have no means of support. There
are numerous smaller charities in the deed.
Fifty thousand dollars ere to be used in the
purchase of grave stones for the members of
his family. He reserves twenty five thousand
dollars year to himself during his life. Any
balance left after the special provisions
carried out goes to the California Academy of
Sciences.
Perhaps the most singular though by no
means the least worthy object Of his bene6-
ceuce is the appropriation of one hundred and
fifty thousand dnlIars to the erection ola bronze
monument To Francis Scott Key, the author of
the "Star Spanglel Banner" We know that
this will receive thousands Of plaudts among
Patriotic americans. This is the second of
Baltimore's distinguished poets that has been
forgotten at home who have beeen noticed
with marked remembrance by residents of 9th
er States. Mr. Geo. W. Childs of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, has offered to erect monument
to the memory of Ed gar Allen Poe, and now
comes James Lick with Il handsome donation
for the erection of monument to the memory
of the man the production IF whose muse shall
live on history's burning page and in tho hearts
of patriots everywhre as long as time shall en-
dure. The monument should be erected in
Baltimore.

The REAsoN.-Some of our Democratic friends
have been attempting one time or another to
make some capital out of the fact that the
Government of the United States will take
nothing but gold for the payment of duties on
imported goods. This is very plain matter,
if one considers for a moment. 1t must be
borne in mind that the government has pledg-
ed itself to pay the principal and interest of its
debt in gold. To keep this pledge it must have
the gold. 1t has promised to pay in specie
and here our Democratic friends claim to be
in favor of specie payment. That promise
must be redeemed. To secure the redemption
of that promise Congress has made it oblgato-
ry that importers shall pay duties in gold.
If this were not the means provided for keep
ing that promise, we should like to be inform
ed by our friends how the government would
get the gold for that purpose. We know of but
one way. 1t would be obliged, whenever
bonds or interest became due, to 60 into Wall
street and become gambler for the gold and
be subjected to all the speculations and risks
known to "buils and bears" Every time the
government needed gold the operators of Wall
street would make "corner" and oblige it to
pay large premiums for it, The government
would be at the mercy of merciess gamblers,
who would have harvest at every return of
the time interest would be due or bonds ma
tured. When should we have a resumption Of
specie payment on this programme? The pre-
MUM on gold would continue high as long as
the national debt lasted or the government
required gold to pay it. Congress did wisely
in not furnishing the desperadoes of Wall st..
with the means of placing the government in
their clutches

CATTLE FEEDING .-The York Democratic Press
of late date says: Frederick Stalman, OF this
borough and Lewis Meyers of Baltimore two
well known cattle dealers, are engaged in lteding
large number Of cattle, which they propose
putting into market next spring. While ia Bal
tmore, last week, we visited their stable, situa-
ted in Canton, on the bank OF the Haibor oppo-
site Fort McI1enry. The stables consist of
square frame building, 240 feet each way, in
which they have confined eight hundred and eigh
ty.tCo head Of cattle. There are eighteen stalls or
rows, us they term them, with troughs running
the full lesgth OF the building. la each of these
rows are chained forty nine head of cattle and to
stand in the midst OF them aud look over this
vast multitude of animal creation, it is most
novel as we'll as a most grand and interesting
sight The animals are all docie, aud under per-
feet control, under the efficient management Of
Mr.. Stallman, who appears 10 be perfectly at
home among them. AT one end Of the stables
are erected FIVE tanks, each one holding 5000
gallons CT slop, which is supplied from Flack Bro
theirs extensive distillery, adjoining it AT the
other end OF the building is erected hay shed
100 feet long aad % feet wide, holding 60 ions
of hay. The cattle are fed four times day, three
times with sop and once with hay, at cost OF $4
500 a month, " hich, We think, is very expensive

was $45 900, heavy sum of money 10 invest in
