rhers W,s No $40. 900 Check.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Statements have recently been made
tO the effect that when Bret Harte pass
Ell through the city some years ago, on
his way from California to the East, a
dinner party was given in his honor,
which he failed To attend, unfortunately
for him, since, had hedone so, he would
have found under his plate check for
SIO.OOO-the contribution of enthusias-
tic friends. The story has often been
told thus, but no truer now than when
first related. On his way East with his
wife, Bret Harte stopped for day or
two with his sister, who then lived on
the North Side. The idea was discussed
OF getting him as editor OF the Lakeside, a
magazine then published here. A
prominent lawyer of this city gave a
dinner party, to which Bret Harte and
several ChicOgoans, who had taken an
interest i'm this matter of securing him
for the city, were invited. 1t was the
intention that the subject should be
talked over at dinner. The writer how
ever. did not make his appearance, and
the end and aim of the feast was truStra-
ted There were various theories as TO
the cause OF his nOn-appearance. One
was that his wife had not been asked,
and that he felt sore on that point. An
other was the explanation frequently
made for his failures 10 appear. The
next dav he left for the East, without
anv explanation for his conduct The
ten-thousand-dollar check story is myth

Wagas for Karin Ilapor.

The department of agriculture has
been collecting some figures OF wide in
terest regarding the rate OF wages paid
farm labOrers in different parts OF the
country. These statistics show that,
with the exception OF Minnesota and
some states and territories still farther
west, the average monthly rate OF pay
declined from three to fifteen per cent.
duringthe year ending last April. But
this decline in wages was more than
compensated for by an equal and some
times greater reduction in the expenses
of living, so that the relative condition
OF the laborer improved during the day.
The pay OF farm laborers in New Eng
land on yearly engagements, without
board, averages S203l per month, and

Running in Sulkies.

A new feature i'm horse racing will be
introduced at the Golden Gate fair, that
is attracting considerable attention.
Running horses are to be driven to sui
kies, and, speaking of this innovation,
the San Francisco Morning Gail OF Aug
81 says:
There is likely to be some fine racing,
and the novelty of the race to trottlhg
sulkies is attracting more attention as
the horses are exercised. It's probably
the first instance on record OF three
thoroughbreds engaging in race OF that
description, and the best informed horse
men were entirely ignorant OF the capa-
city of a horse when harnessed to the
same weight as trOtters draw In their
contests. A mile in two minutes was
held to be about the maximum oil speed
bv "a horse gallOping, and only snort
time 400 a wager was laid that horse,
kept for the purpose Of running with
trotters in their work, could not make II
in POS. He ran in BOB, and probably
could have beaten minutes. Two al
the horses engaged inthe running purse
are trained on the Oakland course, One
of them had never run race, his leg
having been injured, but he had the
reputation of being very fast horse.
The other had run q few races, winning
one, when, with some allowance from
the rule weight, he ran in loo. The
latter has run in his work in , minutes;
the former-the only time he has been
allowed 20 "gO along the mile
i'm 2:56l. His driver weighed l63
pounds. and the sulky is not so light as
some that are used. The other en-
try has run a mile in l:47J-his fastest
time-so that the two which have been
tested can only be rated as hardly third
class at the legitimate style OF racing,
and IL they can run as fast as l56 real
IN good race horse might l:5O in the
trotting rig and with the trotting
weights. All three Of these horses have
been injured, and it is nearly certain
that the one which ran to the sulky IN
1854 without injury would break down
if trained with a boy on his back.
When this race has been decided 1t l3
the intention of the owner of the ami
NAL which ran in l:j0 10 give him
trial under the same conditions he ran
i'm before on the same track. Ii he can
run as fast it will demonstrate that the
work i'm harness is not preludlclal to
speed under the saddle, and rs 1t has
been proven TO be easier on the legs
there will be no valid objection to that
manner of training.

ELM GROVE RAILROAD.
A southern Plantation hymn.

Chicago Journal.
Several efforts have been made OF late
10 report some Of the peculiar hymns
that are now being sung by the South
ern negroes at camp-meetngs and reVl-
walls. None of these efforts have been
successful, not doing justice to the IAN
guaye and spirit of the pieces. a lady
OF Edna, Mo, has undertaken the task
OF transcribing one of these hymns, anu
has succeeded, We think, in giving us an
authentic version. She sends 1t to us ior
publication, As follows:
OH, GET on BOARD, CHILDREN.
Oh. DC chariot OBJ de Lord am a comm,
Don'tyOu hear how de wheels am hummin
Oh chillen is you ready for 70 git on board.
Has you got your treedOm-PaPers signed by dc
Dressed LOrd2
Oh. git ON board, chillen, git on board!
Oh, de hoses to dat chariot was neber kno"ed
An de wheels of dat chariot am like aamin
Ole GABRIEL am de driver. an he blows de trum'
To wsken up de sinners, and call de gospel
crowd:
Oh. git on board, chillen. git on board!
Oh. how lie debbel laughs to see pore sinners
Haugin round DC corners, all talkin' an deba-
But 81 he coteh a sinner down on his marrer
bones ,.,,
1t makes de angels laugh to hear lie debbil's
grOanS.
Oh. gii ON board, chillen. git on board
Oh. de chariot's comm closer can't you see de
sparks "A tyin'4
Can't YOU hear de Dressed Marster, how loud
his voice am crytn',
ooh, git on board, Chillen, As the chariot goes
By,
N nebber die
On. git on board, csillen git on board!
Ebber sence he fool pore Eve, the debbil's been
a crOwin',
Coin roun' DE world a braggin' an BLOWN,
But afore lie day OF reckuiu', Dressed MarSter
will get even,
BY givin' ali at ask OBJ Him a free ride TO Heav-
Oh. gil on board. chillen, git on board!
To appreciate the spirit and effect OF
the singing of this hymn, one must
be present at a large meeting OF enthu-
siastic cOlOred wOrshippers, who enter
into the rendering oil it with earnestneSS:
Ii is a moving aud affecting scene, and
one very soon gets over thinking oil the
simple song rs burlesque.

"The FURRY in Stocks"

Always means an opportunity for some
shrewd and lively operator to make a
handsome profit. Messrs. Lawrence q
Co, Bankers, n. Y, have established
the new combination system for Operat-
ing in stocks, so that capital in any
amount from s. to $4,000 can be used
profitahly at any time that may suit the
customer. BY pooling the orders OF
thousands of patrons into one immense
sum. and operating them as a mighty
whole, under the most experienced
skill, vast profits are made, which could
be gained in no other way. These are
divided pro rata among shareholders
monthly. An investment OF SlOreturns
$50, or 5 per cent. on the stock, 500
paws $3.50, and so on, according to the
market. 4 st. Louis patron made over
three hundred per cent. on an invest
ment in October by the combination
method. Messrs. Lawrence q Co.'S new
circular (mailed free has "twO unerring
rules for success" and full information
so that any one can operate with profit.
