9- We are somewhat surprised that gen
culture, even though he were a confederate
soldier, in his argument before the Governor
for Mr.. Gwinn, should make reference to the
fact that Mr.. Wallis received 10000 cOlored
votes while Mr.. Gwinn was elected by white
votes, and thereby attempt to influence the
Governors decision. But ii is to Gov. Groome's
credit that he at once intimated to Mr.. Mar
shall that that line of argument would be con-
sidered irrelevant as he could not attempt to
draw distinction between voters on account
of their color. We are glad that Governor
Gioome takes such decided notion against
this sort of talk as to check Mr.. Marshal at
once and not allow him to proceed upon that
lire.
Along side of this might be placed differ
ent picture that would make marvellous con-
trast. At the funeral obsequies of Vice Presi-
dent Wilson in Baltimore last week Judge
Brown had cordial shake hands with Fred
erick Douglass, and took his arm and walked
into the lunch room together. There Judge
Brown introduced Mr.. Douglass TO Col. Harry
Gilmor, when he saluted Douglass with "let
as shake hands over the bloody chasmI' Doug
laas promptly replied, emo, notover the bloody |
chasm, but over free country" This is the |

Profits of Horse Racing.

DOUBTLESS many of our readers have
wondered how it was possible for the man.
ayers of racing tracks to offer and pay
such large purses for trotting and running
races, and doubtless many of them, when
reading that this or that horse had won
la,ge purse, have thought owning fast
trdter must be very desirable as means
foi money-making. The first tact is
partly explained by the fact that an en-
trance fee of 10 per cent. OF the purse
trtted for is charged. Thus, if the purse
is 5000, the entrance fee is $500. If, as
is often the case, ten horses are entered,
the full purse is made up. Very seldom
are less than five entries made This
large entrance fee is one good reason why
horse racing is not as profitable as it
seems 1t is not to be expected that a
horse will win all his races as a rule
even q good horse loses more than he
wins, but the large entrance fee must be
paid in any event. 1t is the exception
rather than the rule that the owner of a
trOtting horse, at the end of the season,
has made as much as his expenses. 1t is
proper to say that this year few associa-
/ tons have reduced the entry fee to 5 per
cent
1t should be borne in mind that it is not
enough that a horse should be able to trOt
fast. He must be able to trot fast any day,
In unfavorable as well as favorable circum-
stances. The fact that horse, when feel
ing just right, with all the trials needed,
trotted mile in 2 40, does not make it at all
certain that he could win race in which
$40 is the fastest times He might not be
| IN good condition; trotting with other
| horses whose drivers have, to state it mild
| ly, no interest in having him win might
confuse him; the track might be bad he
might not be able to trot successive heats
A good many owners of horses in whose
speed they had great confidence have
found some one or all these causes suf
fcient to make their horses make bad fail
ures in public. Private trials are not
thought much of by sporting men.
Occasionally a green" horse comes for
ward, without any record, and thus eligi-
bic III all races, however slow the time
fixed as the limit, yet able to win, if neces-
sary, in 2:30. The Wisconsin horse Mazo-
mamie, this season, is an instance in point
Such cases, however, are rare. We
cannot promise brights prospect for
money-making by winning in horse-races
to any of our readers who may own ahorse
giving promise Of some speed
We have not spoken of the chances of
moneymaking in betting on races, for the
prospect is no better in this than in win
ming the purses, and the practice is decid-
edly objectionable 1t is to their credit
that many gentlemen who breed and train
running and trotting horses never bet on
their performances. 1t is said of LORD Fal-
mouth, for twenty years a patron of the
turf in England, that he has never but
once made bet, and that one of sixpence
against his own horse, of course made in
iest.-Western Rural.

The Mysterious Man.

AsHTABULA JOHNSON is mysterious
man, and he lives on Aberdeen street.
Ashtabula is one of those eccentric indi-
viduals who buttonholes you on the street,
leads you to the edge of the sidewalk, and
then, looking about him, says very eau
tiously:
slows Spriggins?"
"Spriggins, Spriggins," you reply,
"what Spriggins ?"
"'LOnZow
ooh! l dunno anything about him.
Drawing you nearer still the edge of the
| walk the mysterious man says:
This is between you and me, now"
"Wellm
al heard that Spriggins was going into
oats heavy. Now he's got reasons, see, -
and he holds up his forefinger and looks
as wise as an owl. You get away from the
mysterious man, and presently you see him
collar Jones in the midst of a large com
pany and march him off to whisper about
an equally important matter. AS near as
can be calculated Johnson has no other
business but this. Well, the other day
Ashtabula dropped in to see Philo Martin
berger, who tips back his chair in front of
a livery-stable on STATE street He found
Philo in conversation with some parties
from the country regarding the sale of a
carload of horses Taking the dealer by
the arm Ashtabula led him through the
stable out of the back door and round the
corner to blacksmith shop. Then he sat
down on box, took out his knife, pried
off silver from the box and says he:
'Phil, I understand you've got COW to
SELL Sit down."
Philo looked at him a moment and then
said, very quietly: "Oh, you heard had
a COW to sell ?"
Eyes" responded Ashtabula; 4" sit down
and talk her over"
Philo looked at him a minute; then said
he: Come here, Johnson"
johnson came, and his companion took
him by the coat-sleeve and started into the
street. He went down to where that six
story unfinished building stands between
Dearborn and State, and, crawling through
the boards that are nailed over the doors,
led Ashtabula up five flights of uncomplet-
ed stairs at the imminent risk Of breaking
his neck. Putting and blowing they reached
the top, and Philo led the way over the
piles Of rough lumber to the extreme east
end Of the building. Then, after stopping
to take breath, he put his mouth close to
Ashtabula's ear and softly whispered
I've sold her!"
1t has been nearly week since that oc
currence, and Mr., Johnson is still full Of
wrath; but large circle of his acquaint
ances declare that Philo Martinberger de
serves medal and shall have one-CHt
tago Inter- Ocean.

The Sexes III Germany.

The proportion OF males to females IN
the population of the German empire
appears TO no steadily declining. IN
lSb5 tho excess OF females over males III
what is now the German empire, was
3ls, G3l, which declined in the following
nine years OF peace to 3l3,3e1 III 1874.
At tic end Of 1866. that is, after Tic
Schleswip. ttolstein and Austrian wars,
tho excess was All 1886. In Decenber'
1871, tho effects OF the war with Francs
were shown in M ascertained surplus
female population of 755,S75. Thus in
the seven years, from 1864 to 1871, the
excess Of females over males in tho Ger
man population had increased by no less
than fourteen per cent. Although no
inconsiderable portion Of this loss to the
German male population is due to actual
slaughter on the battlefield, it is un-
doubtedly caused principally by immi,
grafton. Even il immigration could
now be checked, it would take more
tlian one generation to restore the pro-
portion between the two sexes in Ger
many to what it was ten years ago.

tired from business and disposed Of oil

with demonstrations Of great delight
upon her arrival at her fathers house,
and that night tho dog went distance

4 Boy E'icn.l,

Under the heading Of n "Pyschologi-
cal Riddle" the Ncuc Frcie PrcRSc re.
ports a most shocking case Of juvenile
depnvity or insanity ashaving happened
in the district Of Dobersberg, near the
village OF Thighs. A little boy OF twelve
years old was playing in field with two
little girls, when one Of the latter panied
Antonia Durnedcr lay down mud went to
sleep. The boy, whose name WIS Johann
Fraisl, went up to the child and con-
templated her for some time. Hc then
carefully collected the best material 1T
hand for lnrgc bonfire, arranged these
over the body Of the sleeper, md set fire
to tho structure. The flames immedi.
ately rose high above the unfortunate
child, and when the other little gill saw
the awful sight, she screamed to the
Young murderer to put ont the fire.
But Johann took pleasure in the spec.
tacle, md replied: "No; let Antonia
burn she will go to the angels" Tho
wind soon scattered the ashes OF the
burnt child, and her despairing parents
found nothing remaining OF her but
some calcinod bones. The boy ischarged
with the crime before the district court
OF DobersGerg.

Very Notifying.

Gen. Sheridan in his report says
"But when it is considered that these
armed parties, rs soon rs they are pur-
sued, take refuge on the opposite bank
OF tho river, and there, in sight of our
troops who dare not cross, Craze md
slaughter the stolen cattle with i'm.
punity, the sight is very notifying to
those engaged in the protection Of the
frontier"
TO which the World adds Certainly
il must DO notifying for the United
States troops TO see tho festive aud
marauding greaser, after escaping across
tho shallow river, light his campfire,
corral his horses and herds, slaughter
n bullock, feast like the heroes Of the
Homeric age, and then. wrapping The
drapery OF Ills cloak about him, lie down
to pleasant dreams. Indeed. tho thing
is 80 notifying that We are inclined to
think That il Sheridan, in the pursuit OF
border Riders, had pulled up his cavalry
on the northern bank Of the Rio Graudc,
it would hardly DO prudent for tho nd.
venturous greaser to stop until he had
got OF least twenty miles away,
