At the Dubuque, Iowa, fair sleepy,
poor, homely horse called LothaIr was
entered in every race. He began by
taking the 3:15 race, tn en- 800 minute.
2;45, 2:40. and won two heats of the 2:35
race, when a protest was entered that he
had better record than the race he was
trotting in. His dryer de MED this soft
impeachment and challenged proof The
judges called him to the stand and swore
him. About this time he had got his
wrath up, and swore he would show
them trick worth looking at In the
third heat he let the sleepy horse out and
distanced the whole field easily, cutting
all others out of the chance of second,
third and fourth money. The swearing
of the army in Flanders was nothing
compared to those horsemen who were
ooped. The II got so hot that Lothair
and his driver lit out in the night with
several thousand dollars pulled from the
greenies who played with him.
During the selling of pools the owner
bought the field 50 against S.. and in
the end scooped the whole business.
The query is. "Who is Lothair, and
where did he come from ?" Nobody
knows further than the owner said he
came from Canada. At all events he cut
the eye-teeth of the sharpest horsemen
of the State, and did it so handsomely
that they did not discover it until he got
lqeir money and was gone.

Comes in, so refreshing, through the grand old

Sad. I hear the tolling, tolling of the bell.

Who, thou stricken mother, is't thy son so dear,
Gone beyond thy watchful gaze, gone, and yet so

Gone from out thy loving care, to meet the angel

That watched him cross the river snd helped him
gain the strand.
Stay, aye stav thy weeping, so glorious is the
change,
Only left this earth-life, eternity to range.
Whose loved one oh, father, with thy head bow

And thy dark locks whiGened to silvery crown
Is thy hoy that's left thee, feeble by the road
Gone not long before thee. to the blest abode'
Stay, oh stay thy hearts grief, dash those tears
away,
Look beyond the present, there's brighter day.
Whose loved one, fond sister Is't thy brother,
gone
From thy sunny presence, before thee, jOurneyed

Gone to meet the loved ones, on the other shore,
Gone to meet the Savior he early could adore.
Weep thy tears are transient-translent as the

Yet we know thy loving, is most teIder-true.

ASHTABULA, OHIO, friday NOVEMBER 5, 1875.

Cromwell's camps, must have aecu-
mulated a fund of rough playful
ness among his men, which easily in
duced them to smash things for con-
science sake.
On the ratings around the choir
are'placed a number of chests which
are said to contain assorted lots of
the bones of Saxon, Danish and Nor
man kings, princes and bishops
They were placed there in the ff-
teenth century, but they were too
much mixed up to catalogue accu-
rately. There are the bones of Ca
mute, and of the immediate families
of Alfred the Great and William
the Conqueror; but the inscriptions
on the chests are not to be trusted.
l heard the afternoon service per-
formed here. The white-robed Choir
lister boys and the priests and minor
canons marched into the choir; and,
the gates being shut, the deep
toned organ began to play, and the
full choral service was performed.
The healthy ringing audacity of the
boys voices gave the solemn words
new meaning; but it was not easy
to understand much of the parts in
toned by the priests. They stood
inside screen, and the congrega-
ton could not see or hear much,
through the thick glass, and only
the initiated knew when to stand or
kneel.
The rich carvings in stone and
wood were the only ornaments in
the great church. The only picture
was hung on the altar-screen; but
that was a worthless thing, by Ben
jamin West.
Close to the cathedral stands Will
liam of Wykeham's college, which is
still one of the great schools of Eng
land, like Eaton, Rugby and Harrow.
The buildings are of flint stones,
broken so as to show a smooth face,
and set with much mortar. The re-
fectories, dormitories, chapel, libra
~, etc., make quaint and attract
i've group; and the beautiful lawn,
where the boys play cricket and foot
ball, lies just behind it. A match
between the counties of Kent and
Hampshire was advertised for the
next week, and the names of the
players announced. A Lord on one.
side and Rev. somebody on the
other, with a good following of Es-
quires, showed the interest felt in the
national game, among the wealthy
classes. Both elevens were complet.
ed by three or four professionals.
Following one of the many streams
into which the river Itchen is divid-
ed, we come to the hospital of st.
Cross, where thirteen poor brothers
enjoy the comforts provided for them
by some pious nobleman in the old
Norman times. The worn-out old
brethren have pleasant surroundings
among the rich meadows and spark
ling trout streams, shaded by tall
elms. The handsome old Norman
church, which stands among their
dwellings, must be large enough for
their wants. One of the black
gowned brothers was trying to throw
a line into the nearest streamiet, and
a feebler one watched him from his
wheeled chair.
In a courtroom in the town, King
Arthur's round-table is still preserv-
ed; but day is not long enough to
look up all the antiquities of Win
chester, and we must leave it. c.

LOTTINGS BY THE WAY.

Up to Tuesday it had rained ev-
cry day since 1 left Ashtabula, but
now the weather is most beautiful
warm and clear, and that peculiarly
dreamy haze begins to mantle the
hills that betokens the advent of
glorious Indian Summer. May it
come quickly, and linger long with
us! Oh! the beauty of these forest
clad hills, clothed in all the gay col
ors of the beech, birch, maple, oak,
mountain ash, sumach, etc. Who
can transfer to the canvass the match
less hues and shades of the Divine
Artists work? Ah! but l miss the
grand landscapes this October that
l saw last October, in New England
and among the Catskills and down
the Hudson! Landscapes which
seemed to have caught heavens
smiles and retained them forever
Happy ought that people be who
have such heritage of loVliness and
beauty. Dwellers on the monoto-
nous, level prairies, you know moth
ing of the beauty, the Joy, the hap
piness in store for you should you
chance to journey thitherward, if
you have a spark of admiration for
the grand and sublime, or a love for
the beautiful in naturel

other day, into Ohio, via. the P, F.

Perhaps if Mark Twain had been
there with about fiftyof his compan-
ions, as on a certain former occa-
sion and journey, he might have
seen enough out of which to write
book, and especially to hold up to
public admiration the peculiarities of
his travelling friends. One thing led
me to question whether it was a very
good place, and that was the sight

Below, will be found letter from our
young friend, 1t. Carl Calkins, dated at
Southampton, Eng, on the return of the
fleet from a summer cruise to the German
ports and those of the Baltic. Last winter
and spring, as has been stated, was spent
in the Mediterranean and the ports of
France and Italy, visiting Florence and
other places. Returning South, from Eng
land they went to Lisbon and Gibralter,
and the full cruise of the Mediterranean,
calling at all ports in Africa, and visiting
Egypt and Palestine. The feet will re-
turn to Naples and other places in Italy,
and probably sail for home about the close
of the year. We have the promise of more
frequent letters from the pen of our young
