any great extent iayorably TO the race
but in the afternoon, although lowering
clouds hung, low over the city, the mist
which had been falling cleared away, and
an occasional burst OF sunshine put in an
appearance. Anthese favorable signs were
hailed with delight by admirers OF the
sport, and by tie time that the race was
announced to come of the banks Of the
river, and especially the West Virginia
bank, was lined with people to witness
the race.

PRIOR TO THE RACE

the Brown men were Offering money
freely on their man, but takers were HoJ
plenty and odds were offered OF three t"
one and five to Cne on the Brown man,
IN order to get tke Toacy Out, and even
then the friends oi Barrett were not con .
ddent, but backed their man almost
against their own convictions. But the
time having arrived for the participants
to put in an appearance, both men were
rot in readiness, and Barrett, in "
tight fitting suit of blue, pulled down
from the Nail City boat club house to the
stake boat, where no was soon after joined
by Clator. The referee WAS Mr.. John

hard and torsed Clator to his utmost

the first mild and halt resulted, be-
turning the b.oy in eight minutes and
iorty-fivo seconds, and Barrett following
about three lengths behind. Both meH

FASHION NOTES.

IIoIbein work is Us fashionable as
ever.
Robins egg blue is the fashionable
shade for tissue wells.
Colored flowers are used in the
composition of funeral decorations.
The Corisande and the Sihonie are
the leading overskirts this summer.
Red peonies, as natural as life. are
among the fashionable artificial flow
crS.
Silk purses are fashionable again,
and ladies are crocheting them for a
summer pastime.
Many rows of machine stitching are
seen on some of the handsomest sum
lner costumes.
Panies are used in immense quanti-
ties for funeral wreaths and momento
mori designs.
A novelty for umbrella and sun
shade handles is to have Il small spy
glass at the end of the handle.
The newest styles of parasols have
pagoda tops, and measure from eigh-
teen to twenty-four inches from the
top to end of the ribs.

WOMAN 4 LADY.

Wildness is Il thing that girls cam
not afford. Delicacy is thing which
cannot be lost and found. Familiari-
ty without love, without confidence,
without regard, is destructive to all
that makes Il woman aNalting and ell
nobling.
The world is wide, these things
are small:
They may be nothing, but they may
be all -
Nothing? 1t is the first duty Of
woman to he lady. Good breeding
is good sense. Bad manners in wo-
man is Immortality. Awkwardncss
may he ineradicable Bashiulness is
constitutional. Ignorance of etiquet-
te is generally the result of circum-
stances. All can he condoncd and
do not Danish men and women from
the amenities Of their kind. But
self-possesSed, unshirlling and ag-
gre<sive coarsencss of demeanOr may
he rcckOncd as state prison Otfense,
and certainly merits that mild form
of restraint called Imprisonment for
life. It. is shame for wOmol to be
lecturcd on their manners. 1t is Il
bitter shame that they need it. No-
men are the umpires Of society. 1t is
they to whom all mootcd points should
be referred. TO be Il lady is more
than than to be prince. y lady is
always in her right inalienably worthy
Of respect. To Il lady, prince and
peasant alike bow. DO not he re-
strained. Do not have impulses tn ut
need restraint. Do not wish to dance
with the prince nnsOught; feel differ
emily. BE sure YOU confer honor.
Guard yourself lOttily that men shall
look up to you for reward, not at you
in rchuke. The natural sentiment
of men toward woman is reverence.
He loses a large means of grace when
he is obliged to account her being
to he trained in propriety. \ mans
ideal is not wounded when Il woman
fails in worldly wisdom; but if in
grace, III fact, i'll sentiment, in deli
cacy, in Kindness she should be
found wanting, he receives an inward
hurt.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient Is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are Costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
ofmemory accompanied With apain-
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; ard although he is
satisfied tha, exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitnde enough to try
it. In fact, he di1trusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

THE MEEK DETROITER,

There are some meek-faced and
tender-hearted men in this City of
Detroit. There is one in particular,
who owns house and lot in the east
ern part of the city. Another citizen,
whose face doesn't betray meelness,
owns a vacant lot next to him, and a
few days ago he wanted to buy the
meek-faced man out and build fac
tory covering both lots. The figures
were too high, and he went away feel
ing mad and revengeful. Coming
across a Snowman who wanted to set
up his tent and exhibit a wild man
and other interesting specimens of
life and death, he gave lsan the free
use of the vacant lot. 1t was stipul-
ated that hand-organ should be kept
gong, bells rung now and then, and if
the wild man uttered yells OCCASION
ally, so much the better. When the
meek-faced citizen saw the tent, he
put up a tender, forgiving smile cross
ed his face, and he made for print
ing office. About the time the show
man was ready to open the doors to
the anxious public the meek-faced
citizen was ready with his signs and
tack-hammer.
Gentlemen, walk in and see the
great Kickapoo kangaroo from Kala-
mazooi" said the Snowman.
''Tack! tack!" and up went sign
Oh the fence reading: ''Look out for
smallpox" A second and third fol-
lowed, and the meek-faced man was
putting up the fourth when the show
man closed a bargain with truck
man to move him down town. He
wasn't over fifteen minutes packing
and loading, and when the lot was
clear again the meek-faced citizen sat
on his doorstep and mused:
''He who wants to sell out let him
sell, and / wonder how much ahead
they are?'

WISHING FOR MONEY.

Sc wish / had his money!" said q
young hearty-looking man, as mil
lionaire passed him in the street. And
SO has wished many a youth before
him, who devotes so much to wish
ing that little is left for working. But
never does one of these draw a COM
parsion between their several for
tunes. The rich mans money looms
up like a balloon before them, hiding
uncounted cares and anxieties, from
which they are free; keeping ont of
sight those bodily ills that luxury
breeds and all the mental horrors of
ennui and safety; the fear of death
that wealth fosters, the jealousy of life
and love from which it is inseparable.
Let none wish for unearned gold. The
sweat by which it's gathered is the
only sweet by which it is preserved
for enjoyment; for in too literal Il
sense is it true, s. that it is easier for
a camel to pass through the eye of
needle, than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of Heaven" Wish for
no mans money. The health, and
strenth, and freshness, and the sweet
sleep of youth are yours. Young
love by day and night, encicles you.
Hearts unsoiled by the deep sin of
covetousness beat fondly with your
own. None, ghoul-like, listen for the
death-tick in your room; your shoes
have value in mems eyes only when
you tread in them. The smiles no
wealth can purchase, greet you;
and tears that rarely drop on rose
wood collins, will fall from pitying
eyes upon you-dying. You
have to eat. to drink, to wear enough
then have you all the rich man hath.
What though he fares more sumpt-
uously? He shOrtens life, increases
pains and aches, and impairs his
health thereby. What if his rainments
he more costly? God loves him none
the more, and mans respect in such
REGARD comes ever mingled with his
envy. Nature is yours i'll ALL her
glory; her ever-varying and forever
beautiful face smiles upon you. Her.
hills and valleys, fields and flowers,
and rocks and streams, and holy
places, know 10 desecration in the
step of poverty, but welcome ever to
their wealth of beauty-ricl and poor
alike. BE content. The robin chirps
as gaily rs the gorgeous bird of para
disc. The crawling worm will by
and by become the beautiful butter
fly; SO poverty here shall become
glory and riches hereafter.

TIE MORMON STRENGTH.

a Salt Lake correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune shows the fLlsity of
the reports respecting the military
strength Of the Mormons being able
to show 10000 well armed fighters.
1t is even doubtful II even half the
number of able bodied men could he
mustered in Utah to-day for any mill
tary purpose. The population Of
Utah. by the census of 1870, was
81, 900, of whom the normal portion
we're women and children. The in
crease has certainly not been more
than fifty per cent. within the pas,
seven years, and at that rate the pop
ulation would now be 100000. The
little principality Of Montenegro has
POO. 900 inhabitants, and its fighting
forcc-all men between seventeen
and fitty-six years Of age-24, 900.
The same proportion of about one to
eight would give Utah about 10000
fighting Inen, of whom at least one
fourth would never fight in the Nor
mon ranks.
