time three seconds, and Tom Bowl
ing's unofficial. 1897 3 4-made at Lex
ington May IL, 1s74-by one-fourth
Of q second.
The shout that arose from the multi
tude when the time was displayed could
have been heard for miles. As soon as
the excitement had somewhat subsidized
Mr.. Clark, from the judges stand,
stated that Mr.. Harper had requested
him to say that Ten Brock would new
er run again on the tur'; and whenever
any horse should make q mile faster
than 1:39 "a, two miles faster than
1927 1-2, three miles quicker than
5:26 1-2, and four miles sooner than
7:l53 4, the horns which had been
presented to him, and which now orns-
mented the timers stand, would be
given with pleasure to that horse. At
the conclusion of this speech Mr.. Har-
per was loudly called for. He responded
and bowed his thanks, but could not
be induced to enter on q speech. The
horse was then before the ladies'
stand, aud s:.eT inspection was taken
to bis stall. Hereafter he will be used
alone in the stud, and he will most
likely beget race of kingsan queens
of the turf.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1877-06-14

In the pools before the first race, in
which Ten Brock was to run against
the two mile record-except McWhir-
ter's and Courier's 3:32 1-2-the horse
sold the favorite at odds of $40 90 SIS,
that he would beat $3.50 1.2. When
the noble animal was led out into the
track for his preliminary mile csnter
he was loudly applsuded. He had for
his running mates the fine horse st.
Louis and the fleet filly Necy Hale.
Tea Brock was ridden by VIM. Walk
er, who has bestrode him on every oc-
casion when be has run in his great
events, and looked as fine as silk. His
beautiful name was entwined with red
and yellow ribbons, the colors of his
owner, and there was not q soul on
the track but felt that he would win
the race il he did not meet with an &C.
cident. Previous to the start Mr.. Clark
requested the spectators not to cheer
the horse as he passed the stands, as
the noise would interfere with the in
structions that would have to be
shouted to the nder. At last all was
ready, and the king of the turf and ST.
LOUIS went back almost to the eighth
post, in order to get the benefit of full
running start They went of at q
nice pace at the tap of the drum, St.
Louis keeping right ahead Of his mate.

Walker had been ordered to make
the first mile in, :45, and now, In

against Brigham Young il was decided
by Judge Schaeifer, that the defendant

1869, dc faet9 but not de jitrs: that at
the time OF the de Jacto marriage the
plaintiff was competent 10 enter into
valid contract OF marriage, but that The
defendant was not, because he had a
lawful wife then living. The person,
Sidney Rigdon, who performed the
marriage ceremony between the defen-
aant and Mary Anna Angel, in Kirt--
land, Ohio, in 1884, had no license
authorizing him to perform such cere-
mony; none was needed to make the
marriage valid; the plaintiff and defen-
dant cohabited together as husband and
wife for several years after their de. facto
marriage. The defendant deserted,
ill-treated and neglected the plaintiff,
but such dc Jact0 marriage was induced
and effected by undue influence and
coercion. Conclusion: The plaintiff
Is not entitled to a decree of divorce;
that the alleged marriage was, and is,
polygamous, and therefore null and
void; that during the time plaintiff
was with defendant as his polygamous
wife, she was serving him as a mental

SeriDuer for June describes Barthol =
dis colossal Liberty, to stand at the
entrance of The hsrbor Of New York:
Il will be presented to America by
the people Of France. Allowing TWEEN
~ feet for the height sf the island
above the water, the pedestal is to be
one hundred and ten feet high, and the
statue, 10 the fame of the torch, one
hundred and forty five. This makes
the torch at least two hundred and
seventy FIVE feet above the level of the
bay. L Will equal in height the col
Umn n the place Vendome at Paris,
and viii be larger than the colossus of
Rhodes, so much celebrated by anti
guilty. Like that statue, it will have
TO be cast in pieces of manageable size,
and built up much after the manner of
an armoTed frigate. The construction
will be.a curious piece of engineering
skill, for which the sculptor and N. de
Stuckle will be responsible. At night
it is proposed that halo of jets of light
shall radiate from the temples of the
static, and perhaps the flame of
the torch may be fashioned in crystal,
in order that it may catch the light of
the sun by day, and at night form a
glowing object illuminated by electric
itJ.
In respect to the pose of the statue,
that has been calculated with care. A
Liberty would have to be draped, even
if a draped statue were not advisable
in a climate so cold as ours, where
nude figures suggest extreme discom-
fort. But n. Bartholdi has also used
his drapery to give tower-like and
therefore solid look to his lofty woman
without forgetting the necessity for
variety in the upward lines. Or per-
haps it would be better to say that he
has followed the laws of stability to be
9 ,en in the trunks of trees, which are
vary broad at the ground, where the
roots are indicated, yet by no means of
one mOnotonous breadth from the root
to the branches.
She will stand SO as to suggest that
the strongest hurricane could never
bulge her from the pedestal she has
chosen. Her gesture is meant to call
the attention of the most distant per-
son, and, moreover, to let him know
Enthusiastically what the figure means.
For in this statue, also, NJ. BartholGi
has applied his science to fine effect in
getting the figure outlined against the
sky, while energetic attitude has not
interfered with a certain dignifed re-
pose which inheres in the resting posi-
ton and which may be owing to the
weight of the body being thrown on
the left leg, as well as to the grave
folds of ample drapery. Even if q
stranger approaching from the Narrows
should not know at once what she is
holding up for him to see, the energy
of her action will awaken his curiosity,
and the dignity of 1t will make him
await nearer approach with conf
dence. When he can make out the
tablets of the law which jut from her
left side as they rest on her bent arm,
and the flaming torch which she holds
high up above her head, while her
eyes are fixed on the horizon, he will
be dull indeed if he does not under
stand what she wishes to tell.
Would she light the pathway of

Professor Bonsmy Price, 3 great
free-trade authority, makes this ex-
traordInary admission in an article in
the Contemporary Reeiesc: 'In the
export figures the writer fails to see
any cheering signs of the long looked
for revival of trade. Both quantities
and values continue to shrink in all
save few cases. Coal and coke, iron
and steel, copper, and cotton goods,
linen goods, wool and woollen goods,

not as yet been reached. This fact,
coupled with the still more important
decline in quantities, compels the con-
clusion that the dragging trade of the
last two years and half has not As yet
become more animated. This decline
shows that the buyers abrosd of Eng
lish goods arc fewer and weaker. This
is fact Of supreme significance for a
nation whose population and wealth

products for food, necessaries and en-

Postmaster General Keys speec


The STATESMAN, unlike many of our
contemporaries, and unlike party
leaders in the line of promotion for
party services, has found no reason to
condemn, but every reason to approve
the conduct of Judge Key when he &C,
cepted a place in Mr.. Hayes's cabinet.
What he thinks of his own conduct
was stated in his speech at Chatta-
nooga last week, when he said:
"My friends, 1 confess that my own
life has been an eventful one. Things
have fallen upon me as by accident,
and when the event to which you have
so graciously alluded tonight came
upon me, my first inclination, as l
have said before, was to refuse and
peremptorily decline the proffered
honor. But, upon mature reflection,
l concluded that if the President of
the United States desired, with pur-
pose of paciticatiOn, to extend to the
people of the South his hand through
me, If l refused to take it the hopes,
the Interests and the future of mil
lions to come after might be thwarted
and jeopardlzed. l put forward my
hand and grasped his. l knew that il
the object succeeded humanity would
applaud. II it failed only myself and
the President W, uld suffer for the
error. Applause. Although 1 took
the step with fear ana tremb-
ling, have never regretted it.
[Cheers. have felt, and still feel,
responsibility to my country to be dis
charged in the exercise of my present
duties, which no one can appreciate
who has not been placed in my position,
that one who had been a Southern man
by birth and training, who had fought
and suffered upon the unfortunate side
Of the recent conflict, should have been
called to take this Office at the hands
Of Republican President, was a mark
Of confidence which 1t falls to the lot
OF few men to enjoy; and while / &C.
cspted it, at no sacrifice of self-respect,
with no pledges of party fealty, and
with no abatement of honest opinion
upon any subject, yet, Democrat as
have always been, aud Democrat as
am to-day, nay purpose will be to
strengthen, uphold, fortify and place
upsn the everlasting foundations Of
fame the administration of that Presi
dent. Applause. l thank you for
your cordial greeting, for the marks of
your continued confidence, and the
hope which you inspire in me of the
fu:ure harmony and prosperity of our
land. Great cheering.
