The FateSt Mile Dash on Record.

Tenbroeck, who has the fastest
time of four mile dash ON record,
has now been laureled as the fastest
horse on earth at mile DASH
1.39 81. Here is an account of that
great race:
The first event on the third dav
was the trial of the great Tenbroeck
against the fastest mile time, 1.4l34,
weight for age, and had brought
thousands to the grounds. At 8
o. lock the bay stallion, bIanketed
and hooded, cantered down the
stretch past the grand stand, having
on either side his stable mates Early
Light and St. Louis, two Longfel-
low FLIES, who in turn were to urge
him on to the accomplishment of his
difficult task. For the purpose of
warming him up to his work Ten.
brock was given pretty lively two
mile brush, a scrape and few min
utes' walk, when the bell sounded to
saddle up. In a few seconds Billy
Walker, the colored jockey who had
steered the horse to the winning post
on previous occasions, was in the
saddle, feeling as proud as did Alex
ander when he bestrode Bucephalus.
A most excellent send of was given,
Tenbroeck, accompanied by Early,
going like bullet from a gun when
the dun tapped and the unerring
cIickers were pressed by the timers
to mark him on his course around
the stretch. The animals whirled
like q tornado into the first turn and
round to the back stretch, the stall
lion gradually but perceptibIy going
away from his companion. At the
half mile poe was stationed St. Louis
to relieve Early Light, and as Ten
brock approached the pole, with the
speed of swallow in its flight, she
was off fifteen or twenty open lengths
in the lead. At the three-fourths
pole he had caught the mare, and
they came up the stretch together,
both running easy and so far without
an attempt to urge the horse, who
was gradually opening out on the
filly. But when within about forty
yards Of the goal he appeared to flag
and drop back to his companion, the
persuaders, both wnip and spur, were
applied, and he shot under the string
q victor, amid the deafening shouts
Of the vast assembly, and when the
figures 1.39 "a were placed in front
of the stand the applause was terri
&c; old turfmen embraced each other
and laughed with joy, the ladies par
took of the enthusiasm and waved
their handkerchiefs with mad de-
light. Ten thousand more pleased
and excited people were never before
congregated together, for they had
witnessed the fastest mile ever run
on the continent by the finest race
horse that ever walked the earth.-|
The quarters were made respectively
in "a l 2-49 1-4-1.13 IL and
1.39 3-4. Tenbroeck, I think, will
run but one more race, and that will
be on Tuesday next, against the best
two mile time. If he succeeds in
beating time on that occasion, Mr..
Harper says he will hang the records
up and say to breeders and owners:
There it is; shoot at it,

Business on a New Principle.

A little girl living just west of In
diaHola asked for permission to sell
melons during the melon season. This
being granted she at once set up her
store of fine melons at her fathers gate,
and then asked her mamma what price
she should ask for her incest ones, etc.
She was permitted the privilege Of ask
ing her own price for her luxuries. For
a while she was at loss to know what
to do, but calling her wits together for
a few moments she said: 81 will sell
according to the looks of the people; if
they come along in a fine buggy, | will
ask them 40 cents for my best ones, and
if they are in a wagon will ask for the
same sized melon 25 cents but, if they
come along on foot and look to be tired,
l will sell to them for Is cents the same
sized melons / ask the rich people 40
cents for" Her word she kept, and
sold several dollars worth of melons
during the fall.-I'sdidsolG (LG.) TTi6-

An Adventurous Career.

Henry Meiggs, the Peruvian Railroad
Prince, died Lima on the goth ult. In
his taking off the world of romantic
financial endeavor loses hero whose
record is unparalleled in the history of
business effort. His life was one of
glittering successes, dazzling failures,
brilliant frauds, and reckless extrava-
gance. In his character he was an
anomaly. Thoroughly lacking in prin-
ciple when his interests were at stake,
he was at the same time honest. A
close, shrewd calculator in his every ac-
ton, he was also prodigal. Destitute
of any moral nature, he became god
through his lavish generosity. With all
the instincts of a Woodworking man,
his preferences were for the everyday
life of a king. Voluptuous in his tastes,
he courted hardships for the pleasure
conferred.
Born in Greene County, New York,
in 1911, he in early life developed IA
cility for conceiving and executing
plans involving heavy monetary inter-
ests. The shallow streams of trade had
no allurements for him. 1t was in the
broader sea that he found water to
float his gigantic schemes. En-
barking in the lumber business,
he matured arrangements that soon had
placed him at the head of that interest
but for the crash of 1887, which laid the
fabric of his early fortunes in ruin. He
turned his eyes upon California and was
pleased. In July, 1849, he landed at
San Francisco with a shipload of lum-
Der. His profit on his cargo was
$4,000. His profits in experience were
millions Taking subordinate position
in undergrad, he studied the stun
ton San Francisco needed lumber
Contra Costa County would furnish it.
He hired 500 men, and cleared $500, 900.
California bowed before him, made him
her model in politics and in society
When the crisis of 1854 passed over, his
worshipers found him to be forger and
an exile He might have saved himself,
but in trying to save his friends he had
committed crimes that drove him from
the country, but he had paid every per-
sonal debt he owed.
The next news of him reported him

paraiso and Santiago Railroad in Chill,
road that had ruined every contractor

Mathematics and Medicine.

Among other talks to-day it came out
that whale-ships carry no doctors. The
Captain adds the doctorship to his own
duties. He not only gives medicines,
but sets broken limbs after notions OF
his own, or saws them off and sears the
stump when amputation seems best.
The Captain is provided with a medi-
cine-chest, with the medicines numbered
instead of named. A book of direc-
tions goes with this. 1t describes dis
eases and symptoms and says: "Give a
teaspoonful of No. 9 once an hour" or
'tGive ten grains of No. II every half
hour,' etc. One of our sea Captains
came across a skipper in the North Pa
cific who was in great surprise and per-
plexity. Said he:
There's something rotten about this
medicine-chest business. One of my
men was sick-nothing much the matter.
looked in the book; it said give him a
teaspoonful of No. Is. l went to the
medicine-chest and 1 see l was out OF
No. Is. 1 judged I'd got to get up a
combination somehow that would fill
the bill, so hove into the fellow half a
teaspoonful of No. 8 and half tea
spoonful of No. Z, and I'll be hanged If
it didn't kill him in fifteen minutes
There's something about this medicine
chest business that's too many for me I!

Carlyle on the Book of Job.

1 call the Book of Job, apart from att
theories about it, one of the grandest
things ever written with pen. One
feels, indeed, as if it were not Hebrew
such a noble universally, different from
noble patrio tism or sectarianism, reigns
in it. A noble book! All mems book
1t is our first, Oldest statement of the
neyer-ending problem-man's destiny
and God'sways with him here on earth
And all in such free, flowing outlines !;
grand in its simplicity, and its epic mel
ody, and repose of reconcilement. There
is the seeing eye, the mildly understand
ing heart. So true every way; true
eyesight and vision for all things no less
than spiritual; the horse-"'hast thou
clothed his neck with thunderP'-
laughs at the shaking of the spear. Such
living likenesses were never since drawn.
Sublime reconciliation oldest choral
melody as of the heart of mankind; so
soft and great as the summer night, as
the world with its seas and stars? There
is nothing written, think, in the Bible
or out of it, of equal literary merit.

A Large LandhoIder.

Probably the largest landholder in
America is Ex-Governor Abner Coburn,
of Maine. Incredible as it may seem, he
is the owner of not less than 593 900
acres, divided up as follows: Maine,
400, 900 acres; Canada, $4,000; Wis
consin, 1000; Dakota, $4,000; Michi-
gan. 10000; Minnesota, $4,000. His
latest purchase is that of the tract in Da-
kota, and was taken of the Northern
Pacific Railroad in lieu of stock, in
which road he invested some 5000, 600.
His agent, Mr.. Whipple, has just re-
turned from the West, whittier he has
been to look after Mr.. Coburn's inter-
ests, and see about the last purchase.
He reports the land in Dakota as among
the finest held by the Governor. He says
it is well adapted to growing cereals,
and fine crops of wheat have been har-
vested in the vicinity this present sea-
son. One of the causes of the failure of
the Spragues was land speculation.
They purchased from Mr.. Coburn, six
years since, a tract in Maine, for which
they were to give 81 100000, and upon
the same advanced 100000. The land
was well timbered, but the Spragues
could not keep it, and Mr.. Coburn has
now come into possession again, while
the Spragues are out the amount adj
vanced. The Governor is said to be be-
sieged with beggars of both high and
low standing, and there is scarcely a
day passes but he receives letters asking
aid to help build seminaries, churches
and charitable institutions. He is re-
ported as giving away upwards of $780,
600 per annum. Mr.. Coburn is proba-
bly, worth S6,0OO,0O0.

The Eleventh Commandment.

1t is not always sunshine
In this bright world of ours,
Sharp thorns and weeds grow thickest
Amid the fairest flowers;
In fruits, howe'er enticing,
Lurk worm spots at the core;
For each ones bread and butter
There is a sanded floor.
In lustrous silk there's cotton,
In flowing tresses rats,
In ermines, soft and snowy,
The skins of Thomas cats;
In Hebe's form there's whalebone,
On Venus lips carmine.
Old boots are thrown in sherry
To make Madeira wine.
The best of golden butter
Is oIeomargarine,
The finest of old brandy
Is next door to benzine;
The fragrant leaf of Cuba
Is cousin to sauer- kraut;
Too often are the milkman's cans
Replenished at the spout.
II then, your reputation
Proves quite unfit to air,
Pray, how then does it differ
From most things seeming fair?
And why heap maIedictions
Because through memo doubt
You broke the Eleventh commandment
"Thou shalt not be found out?
