BOnner's TrOtters.

A New YORK Sun reporter has been al
lowed a peep at Mr.. Robert Bonner's
noted ~trottcrs, which have returned from
his farm neal T%arrytown, and have taken
winter quarters in his stable in Fifth ave-
nue.. In the first spacious box stall of the
~commodious stable stands Dexter, the ac-
knowledgcd monarch of the turf. Dexter
was never in better condition, being as
fresh and spirited as a three-ycar-old colt.
His achievements on the turf, as is known
to all the world, have never been equalcd.
Mr.. Bonner at one time offered $10O, 900
for any horse in the world that would
equal his performance on the turf. In
the next stall stands Grafton, a sorrel geld
ing six years old, with a white stripe in
his face, and stands sixteen hands and a
quarter of an inch high. With splendid
girth, loins and thighs, he is considered
the best six-year-old colt in America.
Next stands Joe Elliott, the brown geld
ing, nearly sixteen hands high. His fine
style, great strength and bold, spiightly
action are considered remarkable. He
trotted in public, in harness, over Fash
ion course in 40. Next in order is the
beautiful mare PocahOntas. Mr.. Bonner
purchased her in Boston of Mr.. Ephraim
Simmons, at a marvellous price, shortly
after she had trotted a race in which she
made a mile in 2:26. Mr.. Bonner has re-
fused 10000 for her, offered by Dan
Mace, who desired to put her on the turf!
Mr.. Bonner has, besides, over eighty
other trotting horses, of the finest blood in
the country. They include such famous
tretters as the bay stallion Edward Ever
EFT, Joe Elliott, Tanner Boy, Everett Ray,
Flatbush Maid, Lady Palmer, Peerless,
Princess Mambrino, BERTHE, Stiletto, Lady
Hughes, Lady Murphy, Kate and other
trotters of note. Mr.. Bonner's stable of
trotters is the best and most costly in the
world. He has more money invested in
h0rsetiesh than any man living.

A Remarkable Professional Success

tFrom the Missouri Republican (St. LOUISE
A Remarkable PrOfessiOnal Success.
Among the notable professional men of
this country who have achieved CXtraordi-
nary success is DR.. r. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y. The prominence which he has attained
has been reached through strictly legitimate
means, and, so far, therefore, he deserves
the enyiablc reputation which he enjoys.
This large measure OF success Is the result
of thorough and careful preparation for
his calling, and extensive reading during a
long and unusually large practice, which
have enabled him to gain high commcnda-
ton, even from his professional brethren.
Dcvoting his attention to certain specialties
of the science he has so carefully ~investi-
gated, he has been rewarded in a remarkable
degree. In these specialtics he has become
a recognized leader. Not a few of the rene
dies prescribed by him have, it is said, been
adopted and prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful
contributions to medical knowledge. He
has recently added another, and perhaps
more important, work, because of more gen.
eral application, to the list of his published
writings. This book, entitled 1.-THE Peoples
Common Sense Medical Adviser" is de-
signed to enter into general circulation. DIR.
Pierce has received Acknowledgements and
honors from many sources, and especially
degrees from two of the first med
ical institutions in the land.

A CRATE FOL WooD FIREs.-Insert q
broad, strong iron bar securely from side
to side of the fireplace, and directly in
front, about six inches above the hearth.
From this bar let others of like diameter,
and about four or five inches apart, ex-
tend at right angles to the back of the
fireplace, where they must be fastened in
the wall, OF to a transverse bar, or secured
properly upon bricks. No andirons are
needed with a crate Of this kind; the
wood burns well, and the ashes fall down
and are easily removed. If a second bar
is fixed a few inches above the large front

$780, 600 in bright gold coin, sped on un-
molested to its destination, and on Sunday
Los Angeles was duly rejoiced by the ar
rival of the specie.
Two nights after the above affair the
exploit was repeated at the same point,
with no material variation in detail or re-
suit, save that the solitary highwayman
secured $4,000 in gold without resistance
from the %half-dozen occupants of the

THE proportion of males to females in
the population of the German Empire
appears to be steadily declining. In 1855
the excess of females over males in what
is now the German Empire was 1856
which declined in the following nine
years of peace to 313,3S3 in 1864. At the
end of 1866, that is after the Schleswig-
Holstein and Austrian wars, the excess
was All 1886. In December. 1871, the eff
fects of the war with France were shown
in an ascertained surplus female popula-
ton of 755, S75. Thus, in the seven years
from 1864 to 1871, the excess of females
over males in the German population had
increased by no less than IA per cent.
Although no inconsiderable portion of
this loss to the German male population
is due TO actual slaughter on the battle
field, it is undoubtedly caused principally
by emigration. Even if emigration could
now be checked, it would take more than
n generation to restore the proportion
between the two sexes in Germany to
what it was ten years ago.

GOING OUT AND CoKINo IN.

1wArcH from the window the waning light
OF the last December day,
And think Of the hours, dark and bright
OF the year that is passing away.
My hearth fire burns with a crimson glow,
And its rosc-red embers shine
Till aphantom fire out there in the snow
Borrows It's Goals from mine.
The snow that lies with so soft a grace
On my little garden bare,
Making 1t seem an enchanted place
In a pictured beauty rare
Is folded close Ger the sheetcd plains
Where the next years bread is Gown,
And white on the rugged mountain chains
Its drifted wreaths are thrown.
> Yet yesterday were the blossoms here,
Yesterday were the bees;
And the robins. caroling far and near,
And the regal pomp of the trees;
Day after day, on a stair Of light,
I've followed the swift year through,
And a glimmer Of stars on the darkest night
Has shown that the stars were true.
The south wind sang with its mystic lore,
In the days Of the dewy spring,
To my trembling heart: "Distrust no more,
To the Strength that is ~changcIcss cling"
Summer and Autumn brought their shcayes
With the voice Of a lifted psalm,
For a blessing comes when the soul believes,
And the peace Of diyinest calm.
And now, as the sands in the glass run low,
And the lights are growing dim,
! raise to the Lord who has loved me SO
The notes Of a thankful hymn;
He has never forgotten to hold my hand,
Nor left me alone to bear
The weight of a cross; and ever | stand
Ensphered in His constant care.
o beautiful year, sweet year Of gracei
We shall see thy face no more;
Thou wilt pass away to the silent place
= Ofrhe years that have gone before;
But whether thy days were dark or bright
Or thy words were understood,
One lesson | learn from thy page to night
The lesson that God is good.
And my welcome goes to the newborn year,
The year that l do not know,
As it comes with its greeting, soft and clear,
Over the silent snow;
1t will have its bitter and have Its sweet,
Its work. its task, its toll;
lis inns of resting for weary feet,
And alas! its sin and soil.
But white as the snow its book to-day;
The Angel of Record stands,
With the look Of one who looks far away,
Grasping it firm in his hands;
And Whittier than snow" his pen may write
or mortals such ms we,
II we live and walk in the holy light
OF the truth that makes men free.
Farewell to the Past! To the Future, hall
To the golden Present, joy!
While heart and hand, wherever they fail,
Fail not in the rich employ
OF the kindly deed and tho steadfast word,
And the hope that upward climbs
To rest In the breast Of the faithful Lord,
With whom are all our times.

Relief in Prayer"

THE promises of relief by prayer are
exceeding great and precious; and they
are very many, such as the following:
"Call upon me in the day of trouble; l
will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify
Me- Call unto Me, and l will answer
thee; and show thee great and mighty
things, which thou knowest not" ASK,
and it shall be given you; seek, and We
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you" These are but specimens of
the promises to prayer that we find in the
holy Scriptures.
And the witnesses to their faithfulness
are many. M%ultitudes have sought relief
IN prayer, and lave found it. So was it
with Jacob when he was about to meet
his enraged brother Esau. He rcsorted
to the Lord, and called upon him, saying:
"Deliver me, l pray thee, from the hand
of my brother, from the hand of Esau;
for l fear him, lest he will come and
smite me, and the mother and the chill
dren." The Lord heard and answered.
The heart of Esau was kindly turned to-
ward Jacob. On the next day, as they
came near to each other, Esau ran to
meet Jacob, and embraced him, and fell
on his neck and kissed him.
So it was with Jonah. How seemingly
hopeless was his condition. But even in
the fish's belly he sought relief In prayer,
and found it. The Lord heard him from
His holy temple, and he spoke unto the
fish and 1t vomited Jonah upon the dry
land.
And so was it in the case of Peter in
prison. To human view, he, too, seemed a
hopeless case. He was strongly and Wig
ilantly guarded within the walls of a
prison. But prayer was made without
ceasing by the church INTO God for him.
Nor in vain:
Wrestling prayer can wonders do,
Bring relief in deepest straits;
Prayer can force a passage through
Iron bars and brazen gates.
1t did so in this instance. An angel was
sent by whom Peter was released from his
chains, led forth through the opened,
massy doors, and delivered out of the
hand of Herod, and from all the expecta-
ton of the people of the Jews.
The time would fail to speak of Abra-
ham, and Moses, and Samuel, and Elijah,
and David, and Daniel and a multitude of
others, both of ancient and modern times,
all of whom could bear witness and say:
81 called upon the Lord in distress; the
Lord answered me, and set me in a large
place"
Such experiences should afford encour-
agement to the people of God in all their
difficulties and troubles. Because He hath
so often inclined His ear unto them in their
necessities, therefore should they be re-
solved to call upon Him as long rs they
live. God is faithful and changes not.
And therefore should His people be en-
c%ouraged to trust in Him, and to say:
In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain l bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.

mails their quarters must be cleaned U
every day. The hog, however, being a
dirty animal by instinct and nature, was
left to "wallow in the mire." 1t never
occurred to him that a hog-yard should be
cleaned out once a week nor yet once a
month.
Once a year the hog-yard received an
allowance of bedding or litter. This was
done not with a view of atfording clean
material for the hogs to lie on, but for the
purpose of furnishing material to be con-
yerted into manure. The chances are
that the material pitched into the sara
was not fit for clean bedding when it was
thrown in. Most likely it was musty hay,
or hay or straw from the bottom OF
stacks. Possibly the tops Of stacks that
had been exposed to the weather for Elk
months were used for this purpose. A
few spelled hay-cocks might also have
been Used;
That d hog can keep himself clean Under
these circumstances is out of the Question;
Nevertheless, the hog is a clearly animal
by nature. A young pig is the cleanest
Young animal to be found about the farm.
Give him a chance and he will grow up
clean in his person and habits. The hog
is the only domesticated animal that Will
make a clean bed for himself whenever
an opportunity Is afforded. 1t is the only
animal that will voluntarily go into the
water for other purposes than TO avoid in
sects and the heat of the sun. His prefer
ence for clean places and clean food can
be observed on all occasions.
The hog in a wooded pasture will seek
out a bed of clean leaves to lie on and
clean water to drink. If e hog is brought up
to be washed and scrubbed with a broom,
he will come to the wash-pail as readily
as to the slop-pail; and doubtless he de-
r1ves as much benefit from the one as from
the other. Cleanliness is known to be es-
sential to the health of man and the infe-
rior animals. The hog is no exception to
the rule. His blood is purified by air,
like the others; and it will not be prop
erly purified unless the air is pure. Filthy
food will injure all animals, the hog in
cluded.-Chtcuq0 Times.

GENTIAN was our grandmothers' hobby for
a tonic, and no bitter would be considered
complete without it,; hence it enters into
nearly all. But experience has proved that
it is injurious to the stomach if frequently
used. A far better tonic is found in Guaruna
Bitters.

FrescOing in the Capitol.

A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gdzette writes:
In the dim, Observation-Disclosures halls
of the Capitol is the most beautiful an5
elaborate frescoing to be found in the
building. Flowers laugh,bcforc thee in
their beds" and one could almost edd the
companion line, land fragrance in thy

bright-eyed daughters of Flora gaze cheer

ing dim, religious light which pervades
everything here with an almost solemn
atmosphere. These flowers represent
almost every known variety in our Amer
lean flora, and were chiefly executed by a
German artist, who lost his sight, POOR
fellow, in these dark halls, and now earns
a most humble subsistence in Germany,
making little baskets with those fingers
which once so deity held such an artistic
brush. Above the flower clusters, and
sometimes mingled appropriately with
them, are punches of our native fruits
white grapes temptingly translucent, and
suggesting coveted juiciness peaches with
the down still whitening their ruddy
cheeks; and succulent pears, and crisp
appetizing apples, and plums with the
"bloom of nature" upon them. Then
there are birds of every known species
and color, climbing naturally or flutter
ing gracefully up and down the in
tricate tracery everywhere about. Par
rots as large as life, gorgeous in
their green, and scarlet and purple plum

verge of opening into "POlly wants a
cracker; pretty Poll" Little humming-

bird creation, darling their slender beaks
into the chalIce-cups of choice flowers;
and cartridges, whose tempting plump

THE foil owing anecdote of Chief JUS
tice Chase is told by the Toledo CONNER
cial:: "Soon after Chief ustice Chase as
sumed the Gubernatorial chair in Ohio he
issued his proclamation appointing a
Thanksgiving Day. To make SURE of
being orthodox, the Governor composed
his proclamation almost entirely of pas
sages from the Bible, which he did not
designate as quotations, presuming that
every one would recognize them and adj
mire the fitness of the words as well as his
taste in their selection. The proclama-
ton meeting the eye of a Democratic ed
itor, he bounced at once upon it, and de-
clared that he had read it before
couldn'texactly say where-but he would
take his oath that it wa a downright
plagiarism from beginning to end. That
would have been a pretty fair joke; but
the next day a Republican editor came out
valiantly in defense of the Governor, pro-
nounced the charge libelous, and chal-
lenged any man living to produce one sim
gle line of the proclamation that had ap-
peared in print before"

The Hoe Manufactory.-The buiIdir

The Hoe Manufaetory.-The building
constructed by the Mandatory Build
ing Company" which was chartered by
the Legislature last spring, has been COM
pleted and the greater portion of the ma
chinery is put in position for use. The
Company purchased full acre of ground
and set the present building on the lower
side, with the view of adding other build
ings to fill the vacant space as fast as need
ed. The dimensions of the PRISE mt build
ing is 24x3S feet, two stories with an ele-
vation of 80 feet. The Aume has been con-
structed with view of putting in Tur-
bine wheel of 100 horse power, but the
one put in for the present use has the ca
pacity Of 40 horses. The machinery being
put in position upon tine first floor consists
Of grind-stoneE, drills, shears, lathes and
punches; while the upper floor will be
used for polishing and finishing room.
When everything is complete and ready
for working to its full capacity, it is ex-
pected the establishment will be able to
turn out about 500 hoes per day.
The hoe to be manufactured, of which
Mr.. h. f. STowELL is the inventor and
patentee, ii seems to us cannot fail to meet
with a ready sale as soon as put into the
market. Its strength and utility can be
seen at glance, and we have no doubt
but it will dig its way to the front in that
line of trade, when put in competition
with other hoes.
Mr.. STowELL is full Of hope for the fu-
ture usefulness of the Perrysburg Hydraul-
ic. He is we'll versed in connection with
the manufacturing interests of Western and
some Southern cities, and informs us that
most of these cities are making the effort
to remove their manufacturing establish
ments beyond the city limits in order to
get rid of the noise, SCOT and smoke. He
Is confident that Toledo will moue in his di.
rectioa al an carly day.
