The Extra Day at jerome Park.


Jerome Park bears relations to the metrop-
oils which are different from those of any
other race course, for its completeness and
beauty. its admirable management and the
easy methods of reaching it make it pre-
eminently the resort Of the best New York
society. 1t is not to be likened to the Eng
lish Derby, which represents not only the
best but the worst of London life, and is the
scene Of wild excitement, where lords jostle
with costermongers, and booths, shows, Jug
glers, Punch and Judy and Aunt Sally give it
all the features of fair. The Jerome Park
races offer but one amusement-the legitimate
sport of the turf. 1t is place to which gen.
tlemen take their families, and where the
culture, wealth and fashion of New
York meet upon the same cour-
teous conditions and the same secur-
ity from disagreeable interterences that
exist in our drawing rooms. The spectators
Of the races resemble an audience at the opera
or Wallack's or Daly's, and the same polite
usages are respected on the grand stand that
are observed in the boxes or parquet. These
played than at the meetings this iall, when
the attendance showed that Jerome Park is
now, more than ever before, appreciated by our
best citizens.
The announcement that there will be an
extra day at Jerome Park next Saturday will,
therefore, be received with general delight. It
would have been pity if this fine October
weather, the Indian summer, we presume
(though exactly when that season
comes there are many diverse opinions),
should have passed by without another
meeting. The course is in perfect
order. there are many fine horses whose
owners are ready to enter them, and there are
thousands of ladies and gentlemen eager for q
repetition of the splendid races which made
brilliant the racing annals Of this autumn.
The American Jockey Club have had every
element combined for success, and have
wisely taken advantage OF the time. There
will be five races on Saturday, two of which
will be grand steeplechase handicaps-one to
begin, the other to end the day. The last
steeplechase will be made more interesting by
additional weights to be imposed upon the
first and second winners. Another extremely
attractive event will be the hack race for gen.
tlemen riders As we have many admir-
able riders in New York, who, like
young Harry, can switch the world
with noble horsemanship," it may be
expected that twenty or thirty hcrses will
start in the half mile dash, and the silver cup
will be priced by its winter far beyond its
mere pecuniary value A selling race and o
handicap for all ages will give this meeting
unusual variety and interest But while we
congratulate the managers upon this proof of
their enterprise we would suggest that such
Saturday afternoon meetings could be con-
tinued regularly during the fine weather, with
q certainty of public support. Matinees at
Jerome Park could be made as popular as
those at the theatre or opera, and there is q
large and fashionable class which would en-
Joy them even more. New York is able to
sustain all legitimate and high toned amuse-
ments without letting one interfere with the
Others.

COumltVcu dBdluSt tAc OAiVcu Cu1CSS we can
understand how court Of the United States
may be authorized to punish for that other
offence by adding the punishment which the
State law inHicts upon murder. But we are
not aware of any law that makes the substan-
tive offence of murder indictable and trlable
in a federal court when not committed
within the exclusive jurisdiction of the United
States
There can be no doubt about the general
principle OF which the Attorney General re-
minds the Governor, that when, upon the
same state of facts, an offence has been COM
mitted both against the United States and
State, the United States is not bound to
forego the vindication Of its own laws
and hand the prisoner over to the
State. But whether this principle is
applicable to the case Of these Tennessee
prisoners depends upon what the offence is
for which the Attorney General proposes to
indict them in q federal court. II he holds
them for indictment AMI trial for murder he
will, we fear, find very little law for the juris-
diction OF the federal Court to the exclusion OF
the State Court Ii he holds them for indict-
ment and trial for the offence of obstructing
an exercise of the right OF suffra 20, in the
commission Of which offence murder wns

While this is true in the purchase of articles
generally, it is particularly SO in the purchase
of PIANO. People can exercise their judg-
ment and form pretty correct estimate of
every other article that goes into household.
but when it comes to BUYING PIANO. the great
mass of the people are entirely Incapable of
Audging, and cannot tell whether an instrument
is worth 200 or SEQ dollars, This accounts for
the large number of cheap and worthless In
struments annually sold as FIRST CLASS PIANOS

CHARCOAL FOX CATTLE-Charcoa
pulverized and mixed with water is
now highly recommended as an agent
for relieving cattle suffering from any
arrangement of the stomach, such as
blOat or bowen, etc. This should be
remembered. There is no doubt of its
efficacy, If abundance of concurrent
testimony can be relied upon.
FATTENING CALYEs.-A sensible
practical farmer saws that he has often
noticed that calves would thrive bet
ter on milk that is not rich in butter
than on what is commonly called
very rich milk. The nutritiye element
of milk resides chiefly in the casino,
If you have COW that gives particu-
IarIy rien milk and one that gives a
quality poorer ia butter. it is better to
feed on milk of latter The calf will
thrive the better, and you will get
more butter from the milk of the first
COW.
GAIN IN CATTLE.-It takes eleven
pounds of milk 10 add one pound of
live weight TO a calf; and an OK that
weighs one thousand pounds will con-
sumo twenty-five pounds of hay in
twenty-four hours to keep from losing
weight. If he is TO 1atten he must
have just twice that quantity, when
he will gain two pounds day. This
is enc pound liye weight to eleven
pounds good hay. TO obtain fifty
cents hundred for his hay a
farmer must sell fat steers at five
dollars and fifty cents a hundred
pounds.
The IDEAL MILcH Cow.-The char
aeteristics of good miIch COW must
be irrespective of breeds, in general
seuse. Milk is created from the blood
and her vital eners les which make
blood-that is the Indispensable con-
dition. The good mich COW must
have a ell-deYelOped chest, healthy
digestive apparatus, the mamjilary
glands must be perfect, and the udder
must be soft and piiabIe, elastic as a
piece of India rubber to the touch,
whether the bag is full or empty.

THE FIRST THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The following extract we take from
the New York Independent, and com
mend Il to the careful. consideration
Of the boys and young men who are
among our readers: EE
The first thousand dollars that a
young man, after going out into the
world to act for himself, edTYas and
SGUeS will generally settle the question
of business life with him. There may
be exceptions TO this statement, yet,
for rule, we think it will hold true.
The first condition is that The young
man actually earns the thousand dol
lars in question. He does not iuherit
this sum. 1t does not come 10 him
by a streak of good luck, as the result
of a fortunate venture in the purchase
and sale of a hundred shares of stack.
He gives his time and labor for it,
While he is thus earning and saving
it he must earn two or three, or per-
haps four times as much TO pay his
current expenses. He is consequent
ly held sternly to the task of industry
for a considerable period. The direct
consequence to him is steady, contin
uOus and solid discipline in the habils
of industry-in patient, persistent,
fore-casting and self-denying effort,
breaking up all the tendencies to i'm
dOlence and friYolity, and masking
him an earnest and Watchful econO-
mist of time. He not only learns how
to work, but he actually acquires the
love of work; and. moreover, he
learns the 0dLUe of the sum which he
has thus saved from his earnings. He
has toiled for it; he has observed its
slow increase from time to time; and
in his estimate it represents so many
months or years of practical labor
His ideas of life are shaped by his
own experience. These natural eff
fects of earning the first thousand
dollars we hold to be very large benz
efits. They are Just the qualities OF
mind and body which are most likely
to secure business success il after
years. They constitute the practical
education which man can have as a
worker in this working world. They
are gained in season for life's purposes
at the opening period, just when they
are needed, when foolish notions are
most likely to mislead an inexperi-
enced brain, and when, too, there is a
full opportunity for expansion and
development in later years. Men have
but one life to live; and hence, they
StaEt AEOM OptHlilS uidlHOOQ DuG once
And the manner in which they start,
the purposes they have in view, and
the habits they form, will ordinarily
determine the entire sequel of their
career on earth. To succeed, men
must have the elements of success in
themselves. One great reason Why
there are so many useless, inefficient
and poVerty-stricken men on earth
or rather, boys, seeming to be men
consists in the simple fact that. they
did not start right. A prominent rea-
son why the children of the rich so
frequently amount to nothing may be
found in the luxury, ease and indo-
lence which marked the commence
ment of their lives. 1t is the law of
God that we should be workers on
earth; and no one so well comsulls the
best development OF his being as
when he conforms his practice to this
law. The workers in some suitable
sphere are the only really strong men
in this world.

RESIsTLEss FORCE OF GROWING
TOADSTOOLS.


Some years ago portion of the
pavement on the GOsWell Road, Lon
don, was heaved out of its place in a
mysterious manner. Before it could
be replaced numerous tOadstools made
their appearance in the gaping spaces
between the stones. When the stones
were removed it was found that they
rested over an immense spongy mass
of toadstool growth, which had gone
on increasing until it made q way
through which it could push its head
into the air. One of the stones raised
by it measured four feet by two feet,
and weighed two hundred weight. A
more extensive injury was done il
the same way some years ago at Bas-
ingstoke. Not many months after the
town had been paved, the pavement
was noticed TO exhibit an uneVenness
which could not be accounted for. As
soon, however, as the unevenness was
sufficient to make openings between
the stones, the hidden enemy made
his appearance in the shape of innu-
merable toadstOols. So completely
had the spores or spawn got posses
sion of the material on which the
pavement was laid, that il had to be

The toadstool and its kind seem to
flourish in places where the light is
excluded, as in dark cellars, under flag
stones, and in hollow trees. They re-
quire, however, the air, and certain,
though it may be small amount of
light, that they may reach perfect
condition. Unless they are able to
produce seed they go on developing
this amorphous spOngy mass until it
attains sometimes fabulous dimen-
sion. Many have heard of the enor-
nous growils of tuD2i in some wine
cellars. A case is on record in which
cask of wine, having been left with
out attention for three years in dark
cellar, was, at the termination of that
period, found to have been borne on
the surface of mushroom growth,
until it was forced against the root.
The fungus, moreover, had got access
to the wine, and had drunk it all, liv-
ing upon its sugar, and SO the more
