Wonderful Horses.

Robert BOnner's famous stable is de-
clared to be ahead of all others at all
distances TO road wagon. 1t is stated
that he has purchased for $4,000 the
black mare, May Bird, an animal that
has been on the turf for a number of
years, and has won there a good reputa-
ton. Her record of 2:2l in harness,
2 :194 under saddle, is not the full meas
ure of her speed. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Bonner has purchased May Bird as a
mate for Music. This is probably un-
true. Mr.. Bonner's motive was the
same as that which induced him, re-
Gently, to add Centennial, Keen jim,
Lucy Cuyler and others to mis- stable.
He is not keeping up his rivalry with
the late Commodore, with the dead
mans son. On October 3 Music and
John Taylor were harnessed double for
the first time in their lives, and driven
a full mile to road wagon on a three
quarters track in 2 :23, which is much
better performance than a mile In the
same time on a mile track. his should
be sufficient to convince everybody that
1t was not necessary for Mr.. Bonner to
purchase May Bird in order to beat the
great double-team performance Of Mr..
w. II. Vanderbilt. 1t may be interest
ing to state that it is universally con-
ceded that Mr.. Robert Bonner has made
the fastest time to road wagon, at all
distances ever made by any gentleman,
namely: Startle, a quarter of a mile,
to road wagon, in 3216 seconds; Dexter,
a half mile, to road wagon, in :O616 ;
Dexter, a mile. to road wagon, in
2 :2lA, and Lady Palmer and Flat
bush Maid, two miles, to road wagon,
! In 8 ok.

Lastly, we mention the intolerance
Of the patron. There are some people
who send a child to aschool or a college,
and think that gives a sort of right to
run the institution. There are some
who purchase dry goods or groceries at
a particular store, and feel that gives a
sort Of right to regulate the business.
There are some again who %patronize a
newspaper, as they call it, by subscrib-
ing to it, or getting subscribers for it,
and instantly feel that they have a right
to have their opinions represented.
They wish to have an Independent jour-
nal, but then it is an Independent jour-
nal which must not travel outside of
the circle Of their own opinions. If ii
does, they at nee cry, "Stop my paper,
this newspaper partnership is broken.
| cannot take a paper which differs
from me- Now there is not an editor
in the land who has not often heard
that music. 1t is a good illustration of
what we mean by the intolerance of
patronage. 1t is perhaps the narrowest
species of intolerance. 1t is so satisfied
with itself and its own opinions that it
refuses even to look at those of others,
and shuts out the only light that could
widen the view.

Death in his fayorite Robe,

The mortuary statistics of the whole civilized
world show that about one-ffth Of al mankind
die of consumption alone, and the number Of
deaths due to consumption bears a greater
ratio to the whole number than that Of any
otIer three diseases together. Moreover, in
vestigation proves that this ratio ID steadily in
creasing. Its increasing prevalence mas led to
the popular belief that consumption is incur
able. Every year hundreds of these sufferers
reek, in the sunny retreats OF Florida or the
dry atmosphere Of Colorado, for health-and
find only u gra o. The influence OF the atmos-
phere-Lhe only remedial agent that either
Flor ,da or Co orado can afford the consump-
tives-is at best only palliative. The cure Of
consumption depends upon two essential con-
ditions: LIST, the arrest Of the abnormal break
ing down OF the tissues, which prevents ema-
citation, and I'd. the restoration Of healthy
nutrition, in order TO stop tue 70 nation of
tuberculous matter. Fulfill these conditions,
and consumption is rs durable a. fever. To
fulfil these conditions the required remedy
must increase the appetite, favor the assimlla-
ton OF food, aud enrich the blood, thus re-
tar ling the development of tubercles. To ao-
compllsh this, o more powerful Alternative than
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov cry has
never been discovered. At the same time, il
soothes the irritation OF the nervous system
produced by violent coughing, which in its

The use Of ''expectorants" in consumption is
absolutely suicidal. For while removing the
tubercles already formed, they produce yet
more serious results by infaming and destroy
ing the sound and heal by tissues. Consump-
ton requires a remedy that will suothe while
1t relieves harsh medicines, but add fuel to
the flame that already threatens TO consume
the system. The Golden Medical Discovery
fulfls these conditions, aud has been pro-
nounoed the best remedy yet discovered TO
allay and arrest consumption.

Vendetta.

There has for forty years beena bitter
feud between the families of Hill and
Evans In Garrard county, Ky. 1t began
with a quarrel about the ownership OF
Il slave, and a fatal fight. The cOntro-
versy thereafter led to frequent encoun-
ters, but it was not until lS49 that an
other life was lost. The murderer in
this instance fled from the State, and
the two families set up ali open war
fare. They lived on adjoining farms,
which for several ensuing years were
left uncultivated, the controversy de-
handing exclusive attention. In 1850
parties of Hills and Evanses met in
Lancaster, on an election day, and had
a desperate fight. One Evans was
killed and three Hills were wounded
with bullets. The next engagement
was in 1852. A Hill moved his house.
hold by the way of a line through
Evans land under an armed escort of
his relatives. They were fired upon
from a barn, from which they drove
out a party of their enemies. The
fighting with pistols and knives lasted
an hour, and five lives were lost. A
pnblic meeting was held to put a stop
to the feud, but all efforts to pacify the
belligerents failed. Only six months

murderer was tried. On the way to
the court a party of Hills were waylaid
by Evanses, and in the fight two more
men were killed. At Henry Clay's
funeral two of the enemies fired at each
other, but without hitting. In 1861
two Hills were murdered at night in
their house. The last serious fight was
in 1867. Now the families are at peace,

SCIENTIFIC.

"MHslin" Glass IN COlOrs.-The various
methods now In use for rendering glass
Opaque are, first, painting or covering
one Of the faces with any Opaque white
substance, such as alabaster, barytes,
etc., mixed with oil. Second, causing
the surface TO be attacked by hydro
huoric acid. Third, covering the sur
face with ground glass in powder and
submitting the whole 10 vitrification at
temperatures low enough to cause adj
herence OF the powder without prOduc-
ing reformation of the sheet. Fourth,
grinding the surface with emery.
Fifth, abrading 1t by the sand blast;
and sixth, depOsiting thereon a salt in
crystalline form. A new process has
recently been devised by NJ. AubrlOt,
by means Of which he produces so-called
muslin glass of a great variety Of colors.
He proceeds as follows: After carefully
cleaning the surface a layer of vitriia-
BILE color Is laid over 1t. The vehicle is
simply gum water, and care is exer-
esd that the pigments evenly applied.
The glass Is then submitted to a mild
heat until the evapOrated, when a stem
ell OF the desired pattern, and a stiff
brush Is used 10 remove the loose pig
ment from the parts which are to be
transparent. The glass is nextinclosed
in a frame and above 1t is extended a
piece Oftulle, or, ifdesired, embroidered
lace, the embroidery in the latter case
being so disposed as to harmonic with
the ground pattern previously made.
The whole is then Theoretically closed in
a box which contains In its lower por-
ton a reservoir in which is a certain
quantity of dry color in the form of i'm
palable powder. This, by an air blast,
is blown evenly upon the glass, and ad-
heres to the latter wherever the surface
Is not protected by the threads of the
ace. In this way the pattern of the
latter is defined. In order to fix the
sheets Of glass are placed in a steam
chamber, where the steam moistens the
gum and causes the powder to adhere.
The color Is then burnt in a special fur
mace. By using different colors, it is
said that very beautiful designs can be
produced In this way, Opaque or trans
parent according as the pigments them
selves are the one or the other. Remark
able effects are obtained by the super
position Of the tints.

WORKING 01EN.-The signs of good
working oxen are: Long aud level be-
tween the eyes, and the eye full, keen,
and pleasant; forward legs straight;
toes straight forward hoois broad-not
peaked, and the distance short between
the ankle and the knee. These proper
ties enable an OK to travel on hard
roads; If the animal turns his toes out,
the strain comes on the inside claw, and
when travelling on hard ground he will
get lame at the joint between the hoofs
and the hair full breast straight back I;
round ribs, projecting out as wide as
the hip bones; these are signs of
strength and good constitution. The
best colors are brown, dark red and
brindle. At four years of age the steer
becomes an OK, and having completed
his eighth or ninth year he should be
fattened for the butcher.
