EvgIIsh Race GAMBLERS.

London Letter to the New York World.l
There has been a good deal of
talk about the sums Of money lost
and won on the races of last week.
Lord Dudley has been heavily hit
they say he lost $4,000 on Pc
trarc6 at Ascot alone, A profes.
sional book-maker cleared Sl5, 900,
and another-a very poor man
made $4,000 in one day. The pas
sion for horse-racing does not seen
to die out, and the price paid fol
promising horses is far greater thar
ever. Was there ever anything s.
foolhardy as to pay $21, ,525 in gol(
(G4,3O5) for a colt only a year ant

a quarter old? This is what a
trainer named Peck gave last week
for a yearling by Maccaroni out Of
Duchess. 1t is enterprise" run
mad. No one can judge what the
colt will turn out; he may not be
worth his corn; he may neither
have pluck, strength nor speed.
His sire was a good horse; his dam
was a wretched failure. So that
the price paid for him is not justi-
fed even on the ground of pedigree.
| should like to hear Mr.. Robert
Bonner's opinion of this little trans
action-he is as good a judge of
horse-fesh as any man either in
England or the United States, and
certainly has never shown a lack of
boldness in bidding for a famous
horse. Would he like to buy back
this $22, 900 colt, and take his
chance of the animal turning out
a Derby winner or a miserable
screw? As a contrast to this "bar-
gain" may refer to a horse which
recently came into prominence at
Ascot. His sire was - nobody
knows; his dam was sold at a sec
ond-rate dealers for 95 or 810.
The horse himself-his name is
Chester" might have been bought
few months ago for f10O Or less
Last week he won a rather impor-
portant race at Ascot, and was then
sold for 92600, and a much larger
sum is now asked for him. So that
a lucky stroke in horse-fesh i;
about as good thing as a man
need wish to have happen to hin
in these hard times.

THE AYR FIRE.
The COnnagFat1On in which Twen
ty- four Young Women Perished.

The COnfIagFRtiOn in which Twen-
ty-fOur Young Women Perished.
Glasgow (Scotland) News, June17.l
In a few minutes those who had
gathered round the spot where the
fire originated were compelled to
flee for their lives, leaving portions
of their clothing and all they pos
sessed in the mill behind. In the
garret overhead James Barr, fifty
years of age, was working with
twenty-five young women under
his charge. On hearing the
screams in the fiat beneath he tried
to keep the cries of those who were
apparently terror-stricken beneath
from penetrating his own depart
ment and creating greater alarm
than was necessary. He then ran
down stairs, saw the imminent
danger of the whole establishment,
rushed up and gave the alarm, but
was too late to effect an escape for
himself or others, as the staircases
were all ablaze, and the smoke and
fire were such as no one could pass
through and live, The young wo-
men rushed to the windows and
called for that aid which could not
be afforded them. They gesticu-
lated, and screamed and sobbed in
the prospect of death, and implored
those outside to save their lives.
Meanwhile the fire spread rapid
ly, the buildings, one by one, were
enveloped, the flames shot high in
the air, and before long the spot
where the helpless females had been
vainly seeking for succor was re-
duced to ruins, and those who oc-
cupied it were lost beyond hope Of
recall.
The old man Barr was, before
the fire obliterated everything, seen
at one of the windows waving his
hands, apparently calling for res
cue, and a large number Of the
girls were holding by him in the
last lingering hope of having theil
lives spared. One young woman
jumped from the hight of foul
stories, and fell heavily on thC
ground beneath. She expired in 9
few minutes. Another young gir
appeared at a window screaming
: Her sister, who happened to b,
beneath, called out, @Jump out, o
you'll be killed." and the little CIR
$ instantly leaped over. The siste
3 endeavored to catch her, but as tn
J; hight from which the leap wa
I taken was very great, both cam
= into violent contact, and wer
/ thrown down. The sister escape,
: unhurt, but the young girl wa

60" Mrs Spencer cried, penitently.
"How l misjudged them! Shall |
never learn Christian charity"
So it was settled that the minister
of Montclair should abide with his peo.
pie.
For three years more his persuasive
voice called them to choose the better
way; and then bis own summons came
to 60 up higher. In those three years he
had sown more seed and resped more
haryests than some men in long life
time. He did his work faithfully, and
was ready when the hour came for him
to 90 home. Just at the last, when
those who loved him best stood weeping
round his bedside, they caught upon
his face the radience of light not of
this world He put out his hands with
glad cry:
Il see, l see! Out Of the dark, into
light"
And before they could look with awe
and wonder into each others eyes, the
glory had begun to fade, the outstretch-
ed hands fell heavily. and they knew
that the blind minister was gone, "past
night. past day." where for him there
would be no more darkness.

KEEPING THE TONGUE.

Keep it from unkindness. Words
are sometimes wounds. Not very deep
wounds always, and yet they irritate.
Speech is unkind sometimes when there
is no unkindness in the heart. So
much worse that needless wounds are
inflicted; so much the worse that, ua-
Intentionally, pain is caused
Keep it from falsehood. 1t is 50 easy
to give false coloring-to make a
statement that may convey meaning
different from the truth. while yet there
is appearance of truth-that we. need to
be on our guard There are many who
would shrink from telling lie. yet who
suffer themselves in such inaccurate or
exaggerated or one-sided statements,
that they really come under the con-
demnation Of those whose ''lying lips
are an abomination to the Lord"
Keep it from slandcr. The good
reputation of others should be dear to
us. Sin should not be suffered to 20
unrebuked but it should be in accord
ance with the Scripture method, "Go
and tell him of his faults, 'twixt thee
and him alone" And it should be
borne in mind that wha: is too often
considered as merely harmless gossip
runs dangerously near, if it does not
pass, the confines of SANDER A repu-
tation is too sacred to be made play
thing of, even if the intent be not
malicious.
