erhncnt do not sustain.
Up To- the time when Mr.. boutwell, be-
came Secretary. there was no contest about
these figures, because, according TO law
the Register was the bookNcopcr, and he
alone furnished the tables, which extended
back to the foundation Of the Government.
The system established by HAMILTON,
which made the condition Of the Treasury
plain and without tine least complication, did
not suit Mr.. Bot rwELL. He assumed. in
direct violation of law t, change the tra-
ditional methods, to make radical altera-
tons in the statement of the public debt all
tending to confuse the public mind, 50 that
it would be wholly impracticable without
long examination by experts, to got at the
true condition of the conflicting accounts.

THE GREAT RACE.-Ncver since the
great iour.mile race at New Orleans, twen-
ty-four years ago, when the horsemen of
Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ala
bama picked out their favorite horses for the
contest, has there been 50 great an interest
Felt in race meeting in this country as
there was in the Baltimore races that ended
on Friday last. These races were great
disappointment to the large delegation which
had gone to Baltimore from the Southwest
to see Ten Brock beat the Eastern horses
in the two-and- -half.mile brush on We'd
nesday and the four-mle heat race of Fri
day. Many, like Balie Pcyton. had not
seen an old fashioned contest for more than
twenty years, and they came feeling san
guine that Kentucky was invincible on the
turf Great was their sorrow, therefore, en-
Wednesday, when Mr.. Harpcr's Ten Brock
of Kentucky was easily beaten by MIR. Lo,il-
lard's Parole of New York, in the two-and-
a-half.mile race in 102 seconds lower time
than the record And on Friday, in the
four mile race, the best time made by Ten
Brock was more than twenty seconds slower
than that maas,;,bS l4axiag.sn in The gsssts
race nearly Century ago 'Tis.true
he won the race, but Tom Ochiltrce and
Parole were out Of the contest, and tho
great interest had fallen to zero. There is
nothing so uncertain as horse racing, and
Kentucky may have better luck next time.

HE GEOGRAPHY OF THE FUTuRE.-
Thus it is seen that, as certainly as ter
restrial revolutions continue, in the
course Of 10000 years there must come
an entire reversal of polar conditions.
The Southern waters must be drained off
to make the oceans Of the opposite hem
isphere. New lands, enriched with the
sediment of q hundred centuries, will
rise up to extend the borders of the old
south continents. and islands joining to-
gether will expand into mainlands. At
the same time the northern continents
must be in great part submerged, and
their SUBMITS and ranges become the
bleak islands and bold headlands OF q
tempestuous ocean. Central Asia, with
Its broad table-lands, may still retain the
name OF continent; but beyond q few
outlaying islands. there will be no Eu.
rope. and but little of North America
lett. The Atlantic weters will stand five
hundred feet over Lake Superior. and
Will wash the base Of the Rocky Mount
tains In all their length. A new Gulf
stream may again, as it must often have
done before, flow up the valley of the
Mississippi. returning the deltas OF The
prairies. and remaking the beds of the
world. These are no idle or impossible
iancies. Not only are they the results
OF rigorous circulation. but they accord
perfectly with unmistakable evsdences
which the ocean has left all over our
iand. Of its recent work and presence.

ROMANTIC BIOGRAPHY.

The story of the life Of Pinchback, of
mother was beautiful colored girl, said
to have been more Indian than negro.
His father was Major Holmes, we'll
known in the South as an extensive
planter, deep drinker and good liver.
Having passion for poetry, and being
deep In his cups, he named the boy born
to the slave girl Percy Bysshe Shelley
Pinchback-Percy Bysshe Shelley out OF
respect to his favorite author, and Pinch.
back because, as he said himself, the
child was not gold, not copper, not white,
not black, not Indian-in short, neither
one thing nor the other, but little OF
all. What kind of life 'little Pinch"
led may be gathered from the following
incident; One day he was with Major
Holmes on q steamboat; the sun was
hot, and in the shade of an awning the
planter with his friends played poker for
high stakes, and to quiet his nerves
drank deep draughts of iced whisky
punch. The slave boy sat watching the
game, and waiting for any orders which
might be given. While occupied in this
way the captain stumbled across him
and demanded: Whose niger are you?"
"Well, Massa Cap'in l don't 'zactly
know" was Pinch s reply. Il was Major
Holmes boy but he done bet me on two
little pair and lost. Use got to see the
game through 'afore can answer your
question" The boy had told the exact
truth. His father, having no other stake.
bet him against 81 900 and lost.

Texans Forcing q Clergyman to Drink
Poisoned Whisky.

Several years ago the Rev. William H.
Biggs, fthe Southern Methodist Church,
concluded to try his fortunes in Texas.
and emigrated to Chapel Hill. Last
year he removed to frontier county to
engage in stock raising. For years Mr..
Biggs has been ON advocate OF temper
ance. and was q member of the Good
Templer organization, yet he always re-
tanned the respect and goodwill Of the
communities in which he resided or
preached. But ii seems that his last re-
moval was into community where law
lessness forbade the utterance of temper
ance principles; for recently crowd of
drinking roughs went to his house and
compelled him to drink in their presence
and in the midst of their jeers. They
had scarcely left the house before their
victim lay writhing in the agonies Of
death. The liquor had been poisoned
for the purpose Of destroying his life. A
few days previously shots had been fred
into his house. Savannah News.
