Tha same day tho telegram came ACROSS an

lists Of Russia by singular coincidence the
Socialists OF Milwaukee announced the intended
publication Of paper enunclat1ng their opinions:
Der Soziahst. We already have FEee-Ih1nkers'
age, Tho Free-Thinkers and Socialists are
pretty strong in this city, and appear to be in-
crehz1pg in adhe1ents rather faster than any
other religious OF sem-religlous organizations:
They are generally moral, hard-worklng frugal
class, aud set An example Of order and industry
which few Christian societies can equal. The
most attractive feature Of these Societies per
haps, is their social gatherings, the members
enjoying each others company hDd sharing the
joys ana sorrows OF this life together as much.
a. the exigencies OF modern existence permit.
I am not awase, however, that they
enjoy. the sweet satisfaction Of believing
in the rewards Of . joyful hereafter,
earned by an humble, obedient, and loving set-
VICE On earth. They are, believe, not OF thoee
who doubt, but on the contrary betieue that there
is no such God as the Christians adore. Which
ehuts the door in their face. / may be n1iain-
formed however, as every Free-Ihnker aud
Socialist that hare talked with has managed to
give me different version Of What he believes

where he Is 10 trot, his groom takes
pride in decorating his stall with the
handsome blankets and harness and
with pictures Of all kinds 80 as 10 give
the stall wherein he as well as the horse
sleeps cosy, homelike air. As dogs
are generally great fayorites with
horses, numerous specimens Of CANNES
can always be seen in the stables. They
fondle each other in their peculiar way,
and play together at times in very
amusing manner. One dog at the
Park here always leads his equine COM
panion when he takes his promenade,
taking the halter strap between his
teeth, the horse following without OPP
position.
The weights used on horses feet have
been objects Of attention. They are
covered with leather, numerically
formed, and weigh from three to twelve
ounces each. They are put upon the
forward feet 10 make pacing horse
trot, or to make what IS known as a
"brok en-gaited horscn trot squarely
They are also put upon the outside Of
the hind feet to widen the gait Of "a
horse. The little leather boots often
seen upon the ankles or legs Of irotting
horses are put there because the legs
hit and become sore. The boot pre-
vents soreness.
The ''timers" used by horsemen arc
some of them splendid pieces of me-
chanism and cost from four hundred To-
five hundred dollars each. The best of
them will time as close as the fifth Of a
second and they are gotten up in mag
nihcent style. The latest inven-
ton in the world of "timers"
is one gotten up for driv-
or to use while driving his trotter. 1t
is carried in the inside pocket of his
blouse, and a small rubber tube runs
from it close 10 the drivers mouth. Just
before reaching the quarter post he puts
the end Of the tube in his mouth, and as
be darts by each quarter he gives Il
quick short blow in the tube and the
time he passed is recorded upon the dr.
al of the timer. These newly invent
ed timers cost six hundred dollars
each. We are informed that they are
just being introduced in this country.

California Children.

II was only twenty-five years ago--in
lSJO-that the following incident oc-
cured at Downieville, in Sierra County:
The country was full of men engaged in
mining, and Downieville was, 10 use
the phrase Of the times, a busy camp.
There had been built for public uses u
large building, sometimes used as a
theater and sometimes for the purposes
Of public hall. The surrounding
gulches were filed with men rude of
manners, but full Of tender memories,
and there was then but a score Of women
in the country, and not baby, so far
as was generally known, in the circuit
Of hundred miles. II was the Fourth
OF July, and Downievillc celebrated.
The Stars and Stripes floated from u
peeled and lofty pine, and the chorus
Of the anvil had re-echOed through the
hills. The house was crowded with the
miners poet, reader and orator had
performed ,heir parts, and the recently
organized brass band was giving in bois-
ferrous resonance some popnlaf national
anthem, when suddenly there burst out
the feeble wall of an infant-first low,
then swelling out in all the defiant
strength of baby lungs. The band put
forth its loudest strains; the baby, in
cited 10 renewed exertion, redoubled its
vigor. Ii was nip and tuck between
band and baby. Theyoung mother did
her best To divert the child and hush
him, when from the audience there up.
rose Il brawny miner, and shaking his
fist NJ the music cried, Hush that in
fernal band and give the baby a chance,"
The band stopped its playing, and new
er did stalwart men listen 10 sweetcr
music than those eNilcs from home and
women as they drank in the tones of the
wailing child. There were tears i'm
MANY an eve. The child was hushed
upon It's mothers breast, and at the
word there went up three rousing cheers
for the first baby Of til, Northern Ser
raS. Looking over lie figures of the
school census we find that there are now
2s0 900 children in California under
fifteen wears Of age, and the Downie-
Vile baby is only twenty-five years old.
This is good showing for young
State. Give the ladies a chance, and
we can get on without any further East
em emigration. Even if Europe with
holds her people and the citizens of our
Atlantic States should prefer thelr I'M
genial climate and ungencrous soil, let
them stay at home, our future is secure.
And such race Of children was never
seen elsewherc-such limbs and lungs
and physical development, such heads
and brains and precociouS intellects!
OF course. unless restrained and tutored
and disciplined, they become hoodlums;
but when brought under proper re-
silnint, educated and kept in obedience,
they are the best specimens Of young
America which the continent has yet
produced We commend To our phil
osophers and wise men the careful con-
sidcraiiun of this new phase of the old
