TenBroeck and molly Mccarthy.

The New York Sportsman, edited by
Charles Foster, is not of the opinion
that TenBroeck is the King of the Turf.
The Sportsman says of the Fourth of
July race at Louisville.
The whole business has been non
sensical one. Enormous credulity is
the only thing we charge against any
body in this connection. Because the
mare had beaten a few very moderate
horses in California, some parties took
it into their heads that she was real
frst-class four-mile-heat race-horse. The
other side, in the teeth of the strongest
evidence that ever was, at Baltimore
and at Jerome Park last fall, and at
Lexington this spring obstinately per-
sisted in persuading themselves that Ten.
Brock still possessed all his grand gifts
and powers in their pristine excellence.
Mr.. M. Lewis Clark, a very able man,
was one of the victims of this delusion
But this mistaken estimate prior to the
race was nothing to the extravagant in.
sanity which has fastened upon the
minds of some since the affair. Ten
Brock is still the great race-horse of the
world, in the opinion of some, although
itwas all that he could do to run the third
mile of the race in 2:073. Look at this
The mare with +" a leg," and in no con
dition, was sent out to run the first mile
of four-mile-heat race, ON a muddy
track, in less than 1 80. This of itselt
shows that all heparties concerned witt
her had lost their heads. 1t threw
away the chance the wretched condition
of TenBroeck afforded her. If she hac
waited in the first heat she would very
likely have won the race, for he wa
dead beat at the end of it, and could no
have come again to save his life. Ten
Brock was a very good horse at thre'
and four years old, and in the spring o
the fifth year. But he was always over
rated, and to keep on pronoIncing hin
the wonder of the world after King Al
fonso and Aristides beat him, was non
sense. The best race he ever ran in hi
life was that at Lexington against Aris
tides, two miles and furlong. The pac
was very strong, and TenBroeck shut u
like a jacknife when the little red hors
challenged at the end Of two miles i
3:31.

Bararian Sunerstitions.

A large proportion of the Bavarian
peasantry, unfortunately, entertain the
superstitious notion that fire kindled by
lightning is not to be extinguished.
When such an accident happens they
are discouraged, and do scarcely any
thing to check the progress of the
flames. A funeral must never pass
through a titled field, not even in win
ter, though it might considerably
shorten the way. The peasant is fully
persuaded that a field through which a
funeral has passed becomes barren. Ex-
cept on extraordinary occasions, no fu-
nerals are allowed on Mondays and Fri
days. A peasant who is in search of a
wife never goes, except on Thursday
or Sunday, into the house where he ex-
poets to make his choice. The bride
and bridegroom are not to give their
bare hand to anybody on the day of
their marriage except to each other at
the altar, otherwise they are threatened
with poverty during the whole course OF
their union. 1t is also very bad sign
if, when the bride returns from church,
she finds anybody on the threshold OF
her door. When young girl finds 8
leaf of trefoil divided into four instead
of three parts, it is a sign that she will
be married within year; at all events
she carefully preserves this leaf till hel
wedding day. On Christmas Eve tht
countrymen are accustomed to fre
quently drive out in sledges. They
think that this will cause their hemp tt
be more abundant and higher. The,
do not fail to visit the ale house, and t,
drink heartily the same evening; bein,
convinced that this is the way to max
them look well till the followin,
Christmas. They never destroy crick
cts by fire, being persuaded that thos
which escape will destroy their line
and clothes. When a peasant loses hi
way in the wood after sunset he avoid
calling any person to show him the way
being convinced that in any such cas-
the evil spirit of the forest would caus
him to plunge still deeper into its r,
cesses.

rectly beneath the lamp. I savagely
struck my hand upon the side of the
scene. l saw the terrible lamp fare up
and totter, and began to fall.
Like fash of lightning my vision
came back again. I sprang forward in
an instant. From the corner of my eye
l caught a glimpse of the flaming
shower, and rushed upon Marie and
grabbed her away. I was too late; a
shrek of agony burst from her, pur-
plish flame appeared upon her right
temple near her eye.
Then | was attacked; the most ex-
quisite pain came from shoulders and
cheeks, but I was demented and yet l
was cool. l saw the burning stuff fall
upon the floor; / heard the shrieks of
the actors, and the cries of the audience.
l instantly felt that the theater was in
danger. l knew every part of it and
the whereabouts of everything. I tore
away and ran to get basket of sand.
I was half blinded. 1 found it and
dragged it out, and flung it upon the
rising flames, and with some handfuls
brushed the flaming lime from my face
and arms.
The scenery began to burn. l ran
back for the hose which hung upon the
wall, turned the stop-cock, and flew out
again upon the stage drenched with
water and struggling with the writhing
pipe. In five minutes all was over; all
was safe. The actors stood round quite
frightened, the people had rushed upon
the stage and praises and blessings were
poured upon me. I began to feel my
frightful burns and tainted.
1t was two weeks before came to my
senses again. Marie was sitting beside
me. She was more beautiful than ever.
She had scar near one eye, but it only
lowered the lid little and made her
expression more piquant. Inwardly l
thanked God. 1 was frightfully dis
figured, but 1 did not resent it, for
was changed.
My friend, the author, came to me-
He sat down beside me one summer
afternoon and told me all about his
plans for the future, and he told me
that was concerned in them, and al
ways had been.
| checked him; told him all. He
looked frightened, but in a moment he
came and took my poor lame hand, and
said:
"Ah, Katie, you were not yourself
then; you were not the true, generous
woman you are now, and ever will be
hereafter. 1 saw your face light up
when 1 told you that Marie is more of a
favorite than ever; I knew that you
were thankful. God willing will help
you to be better, if I can, and now
ask you once more-will you let me
help you"
"Y-yes," said I.
Marie comes to see me every day, and
one day shall tell her all, and pray
that she will not turn away from me
and go out of my sight angry, as if she
had been deceived.

SOME time ago at funeral in this city,
the officiating clergyman in his words
of consolation to the mourners, used the
following language: :" He has left this
world of pain and sorrow, and gone to a
blissful cline, where sorrow and parting
are unknown. There is no death in that
happy world, no graves, no cofins, no
undertakers." However consoling the
foregoing may have been to the bereaved
ones, it is certainly not a fattering out
look for the undertakers. 1t may be
proper to add that the undertaken who
had charge of that funeral is prominent
church member, and performs his relig-
ious duties with renewed rather than
abated zeal; perhaps hoping that after
all some portion Of the reverend gentle
mans statement might not be literally
true.-Poughheepsie Ne,us,

SOME active women, who pride them
selves on their housekeeping, seem to
forget that the object of keeping house
is, that human beings may be accommo-
dated in it. Their sole idea seems to be
This, that the object of keeping house
is, that the house may be kept in GER
tain form and order, and to the per-
formance of the form and order they
sacrifice the comfort the house was es.
tablished to secure. Such active women
are pests to society, because they want
sense to direct and control their en-
ergies.

A Candid Man.
IYeracious Exchange.l

Ii there is anything IN the shape OF
human being that is despisable, it is
your natural born liar; the man who
would rather tell a falsehood, even if he
had to go mile out of the way to do SO,
than tell you the short, simple truth.
Then there is another despisable crea-
ture, and that is your professional beg
gar, who always approaches you with a
lie at the end of his slippery tongue.
Then there is the Pharisee. who comes
into our sanctum, and, under the pre-
tense that he desires a notice of the
proceedings of certain church,
manages to get his name woven into
the notice SO often that ninety mine per
cent. of the article is puff for himself
and the balance for the church, Then
there is that cheeky being who ever
lastingly dabbles in politics, much to
the regret of suffering community,
and as he is very seldom called upon to
make speech, manages by some hook
or crook to get his political trash dead
headed through the columns Of his
party's organ. Give us the candid,
straightforward man. be he ever so
rough, ever so queer, just so he is candid,
and then you can depend on his word.
Such men are very rare and hard to
meet, yet it was our luck to meet one
Yesterday as we were strolling up East
Friend street on our way home.

"To be sure" we answered, "we are
public property and all have perfect
right to pump what they can out of u.s.
"Well, mister, Pm a poor man and
I've been drinking little too much until
Pve got horribly drunk. Ithas weakened
me very much, Pm hardly able to stanc
up and am getting sick fast. Now
mister, will you give me dime so thai
1 can get something that will stimulat,
me, something fiery that will rouse W
my dropping spirits?. Mister, I'm /,
candid man. If I'd say to you that ] wa
hungry and wanted dime to buy loa
of bread with for myself and a larg
family, you, no doubt, would not hesi
tate; but 1 want to tell you the truth
do not want bread. want something
to stimulate me and warm me up, or
will go down, and perhaps ere midhou
approaches, the police will drag me ou
Of the gutter and throw me into tn
calaboose among the miserable and ur
fortrnates. Now, mister, will you Civ
me dime?" =
Certainly" we answered, but a
we haven't dime to our name, just 20
stand here while we go around th
corner and borrow dime from frien
for you"
We left him standing there, but whe
we returned with the dime, an hou
. later, our candid man was nowhere
be found. Above all things, we admil
i the candid man most.
