The BEST TINE The wonderful feat
of Goldsmith Maid m the Buffalo track
last week, in Irotling mile in two min
utes and fifteen and half seconds fully
establishes her claim 10 the nile of the
Queen of The Turf. This is probably the
fastest time ever made by any trotter, as il
certainly is the fastest time ever recorded
Two years ago, when this mare made
some very fastlime on Western track,
the veracity of the judges was at first
questioned, as no one believed she was
able TO perform such a feat. The matter
was discussed for weeks in all the sport
ing journals. A delegation was sent to
measure the track and ascertain whether
1t was a full mile, and TO take the state
ments of the witnesses, TO ascertain wheth-
er the mare kept the track during the
race. The question was never settled, hut
now the evidence is more than sufficient
10 clear away all doubts. The splendid
feat was witnessed, we are told, by about
10000 spectators.

The GRAsSHoPPER-Comes this
way now on lifted wings, with fiery
ightnings in his eye, and the cereal
crops of6 counties of Minnesota in his
branching teeth, the wild unbidden
grasshopper of the West. A7jerky
bird is the grasshopper. He folds
himself up like the jack-knife, releas-
es himself like an arrow from bend
ed bow, propels himself over a large
space and subsists OH the country he
covers. He assimilates the people TO
himself. When he alights upon the
field the farmer looks for his crop,
and behold, like the grasshOpper that
has passed, he has Gnte1ng. For So
eiability and gregariousness there are
few wild fowls like the grasshopper.
He moves in battalions at company
front, and wherever there's one there
are a million. Standing on the
ground, his knees overlooking him
like a step ladder, and his tout e1asena-
BILE is that of an overloaded wheel
barrow. He has the unbounded
stomach of a weekly story paper, for
cereals, and when he has cleared up
the standing crop of one county or
State, he skips to the next, picking
his teeth as he goes, and gathering
himself in mass convention, he fol
lows the fashions of the time and
"points with pride" to the record of
the past. The youth of our country
call him indifferently the grasshopper
and the hoppergrass, and say "ShOo"
at him as he goes by. The hardy
Utah pioneer gently untangles the
legs of him from his hair and whisk-
ers, and covers him with number
1S boot; the guest at Townsend's
Hotel in Salt lake City, hears him
through all the silent watches of the
night rush into the window, as one
who has been sent for from afar, and
who drops with thud into a wash
bowl; and the Digger Indian gath
ers them in trenches and barbecues
him for the MONDAY meal.

ses an article of the advisability of well
coming FentOn and other Liberal Re-

PIatonie Love.

In nine cases out of ten, the catas-
trophe overtakes Platonic friendships
especially between married people, or
between a married person on the one
hand and a single person on the 9TH
er It is doubtful whether even the
Platonie loves of Dante and Beatrice,
or Petrarch and Laura, if all the
facts were known, and they were
stripped of the glamor which poetry
has woven about them, would stand
the test of strict morality. So long
as love is a physiological emotion, so
long must Platonic love sooner or
later, be rudely shattered, and leave
its victims futtering in the dirt with
broken wings. This is the. .inevita-
BILE experience of the world, and the
sooner the delusion is broken, better it
will be for those who have sentiment
in their composition, and are dispos-
ed to give it play for the purpose of
realizing the dogmas of Plato. There
may be rare and gifted souls who
may have a sentiment for each other
perfectly pure and innocent, but
these afinities have no business in a
family. They do not consort with
the cares, the labors and the duties
of home. They may be pretty IN
theory and beautiful in poety and
romance, but they are destructive in
practice. The only afinities that
are safe are the afinities between
husband and wife, or husband and
wife to be; and any man or woman
who thinks he or she can indulge
safely in an affinity based on sentir
ment alone may read very valuable
lesson in the shattered home of Liv-
ingston street, the long catalogue of
miseries growing out of it, and the
insidious influences which must re-
suit from it for a long time to come.
The young woman, or married wo-
man, who finds herself besieged by a
Plato, especially a white-cravated
one, had better betake herself to the
wash-tub, or some other form of la
Dor not conducive to sentiment, if
she wishes to be safe.

Little hesitation seems to be felt
in Europe in predicting the removal
of the Pope and the focus of Catho-
licism from the Vatican. 1t is even
suggested that the Papal residence
has been chosen, and that it will re-
hnquish the Italian for the British
flag. The Island of Malta is said to
be the future Rome. This minute
spot in the mediterranean possesses
an interest scarcely less powerful
than that of Rome itself. Three
thousand years ago the Phenicians
established themselves there; the
Greeks and Romans in their day fol-
lowed; and, following the current of
time, the Vandals, Goths, Byzan-
tines, and Arabs took possession.
In more modern times, the Sicilian
Normans controlled the Island, and
these gave way to the Knights of
st. John, whose deeds of valor are
still the theme of romance and poem.
From their hands the Island passed
into those of Bonaparte, and then
became a British possession. Though
a small spot of ground, it is the
most important naval point iii the
mediterranean. Its historic associa-
tions eclipses even its stragetic inter-
est, and His Holiness will be upon
ground, almost as sacred as that of
the Forum. 1t is an open question
whether st. Peter ever went to
Rome; it is universally admitted
that St. Paul performed a miracle at
Melita; and an authenticated visit
from one Apostle ought to be worth
two possible visits of another.

The Russian Government, it is an
nounced, is about to dispatch anoth-
er expedition to the Arctic Seas, not
for purposes of scientific discovery,
but to rescue an Austrian party un-
der Capt. Weyprecht, which sailed
IN the ship Tegethoff two years
ago. The captain intended to double
the Cape at the north end of Nova
Aembla' and seeking the open water
supposed to lie on the east side of
the Islands, sail eastward until he
reached the Pacific. The N. Y.
1T'0'''ae calls attention to the fact
that this is exactly the course which
the Dutch navigator William Bar
entz laid down for himself $50 wears
ago, in seeking to make which he
persisted in an awful storm. The
last seen of the TegethOff she was
also in a fearful storm off the place
where Barentz was lost, and, al
though she was very staunch ves-
sci and we'll Differed, it is not i'm.
probable that the same fate has
overaken Capt. Weyprecht which
overlook his gallant predecessor
NEARLY THREE centuries ago.

others. Without entering upon discussion of
the relative merits of any of the different kinds,
we may be permitted to suggest from the sworn
report, that the Singer Co., sold in 1873 One Hun
dred and Thirteen Thousand Two Hundred and
Ffty-four MORE Machines than any other eOmpa

Gas and shade rrees.

In most large cities coal gas often
leaks, from imperfect pipes or work
manship, and street trees near such
leaks often die; the popular impress
sion being that the gas destroys the
roots of such trees as it comes in
contact with. Scientific men have
taken up the subject, mostly confirm
ing the popular notion;. one of the
clearest essays from this standpoint
being by DR.. Fahnestock, in the
Proceedings of the Philadelphia
Academy" some fifteen years ago
Some other scientists have, however,
taken opposite ground and have
borne their statements by the results
of carefully conducted experiments
Some half dozen years or SO ago
the legal papers reported a case
against that city, on behalf of a for
ist, who claimed damage for the loss
of his plants from leaky gas-pipes.
1t is reported that, to test the mat
ter, camehas and other plants were
submitted to the test-gas being con-
Quoted to the earth in pots; and that
the next day the plants were appar-
entity as well as ever. The verdict
was IN favor of the city. These con-
Trajectory results are puzzling to
most people and scientists themselves
have continued experimenting, in
the hope of solving the enigma.
Professor Bohm of the Imperial
Academy of Sciences of Vienna, has
at length found the explanation.
He experimental with fuschias and
geraniums, in pots, conducting the
coal gas to the roots, as in the Phila-
delphia law trials. No immediate
results were apparent but the plants
died in time. He investigated this
phenomenon, and found that death
was not caused by an injury by the
gas directly to the roots; but it
changed the chemical character of
the soil, converting, in time, what
would be wholesome food under
nominal circumstances into poison,
and in this way the destruction is
brought about.

The determined efforts of Germa-
ny to make itself a naval, as well as
a military, power, are shown in va
rious directions. One of the chief
occupations of the Admiralty at
present is to improve the ship
building industry of the Empire.
This they are accomplishing, not
only by ordering ships of war built in
private shipbuilding establishments
but also by applying to German
manufacturers for the machinery and
other articles required for naval pur-
poses. Among others, it is stated
that this sudden increase in ship
building, coupled with the efforts of
Germany to secure a naval station
on the coast of Spain, indicate that
in case of another war the Empire
will not confne its operatio ms to the
land. This new menace to France
is one of unusual significance.
