Winning TheStory
A Story Stranger than Fiction

New York correspondent Chicago In
ter Ocean.
A few years ago, when p. 7. Bar
nun was about to open his hippo
drome in this city, among "driver" to
one of the tour-in hand Roman charl-
OTIS was Il fine looking girl OF eighteen,
about medium height, with a lovely
blonde complexion, light eyes. She
attracted Mr.. Barnum's attention at
once, though more even for her man
ncrs than appearance, which were
very modest andlady-like. On being
questioned, she refused to say any
thing about herself, and when finding
she was fair musician and u good
German scholar, she was asked why
she did not teach, or get position
rs companion to some lady, she re-
piled that no one would take her
without references, and these she
could not furnish. After giving some
specimens of her skill in driving she
was engaged and joined the com
pany.
racing is a dangerous amusement
and, while there is a great excite
mcnt in watching these chariots OF
crimson and gold, drawn by fou'
spirited stecds, and driven by young
women standing erect and urging
on with voice and whip, more than
once spectators, when thrilled with
interest at the contest, have heard q
dreadful crash, seen the horses rol
over in the dirt and plunge about il
mad confusion, listened to oaths and
wild screams, and watched the form
of a woman cxtricated and carried
off.
These fearful accidents usually re
suit from the wild state Of excite
ment into which both horses ant
drivers get when entered for a race
and striving for a prize which i
usually offered. Knowing their risk
it is with difficulty that women will
sufficient nerve and physical strength
can be found to drive, and whel
they are they command high wages

known in the ring as NH Louise, of

Night after night she went throus

A HIGH EUL0GY.
THE POWER OF wORK---wHAT IT HAS
DONE FOR OUR CANDIDATE.

The following remarks were recent
ly made by the Hon. f. E. Kidd, be-
fore the convention lately held in
Monroe. Mr.. Kidd, we are happy to
notice, was the nominee Of that con-
vention for Senator. As the district
consists Of the strong Democratic par
isllcs Of Richland, Jackson, Caldwell
and Ouacllita, he is, Of course, sure Of
election. Mr.. Kidd said:
In the contest for nomination for
for Governor, while there was un-
doubtedly deep feeling entertained,
yet it is gratifying that nothing ma
lignant or even unpleasant was man
Tested. It appeared (as it should
always appear in the Democratic
family more like the generous rival
ry Of two combatants Of the same
command than the opposition Of con-
testing forces. The triumph Of Ogden
would have been a tribute to one Of
the noblest sentiments of the human
heart-a sentiment that pervades the
entire State in behalfof that gallant
gentleman. l have not the slightest
doubt that, Notwithstanding his de-
feat, Gen. Ogden is to-day the most
popular man in the State. 1t is nat
nral that it should be so, and 1t will
always be SO as long a. the human
heart responds to the noble conduct
Of the truly worthy.
The triumph Of Wilt is a tribute
to that genins Of America which, in
the arts, in inventions, in almost
everything, is rapidly placing her in
he,1ead Of all the nations Of the
earth-the genius Of enterprise, Of
work. No bright scintillations flash
ing from the bold deeds Of some
grandly heroic day-blaze around and
illumine his name. At its mention
we hear no thunders Of Austerlitz
we see no plume Of Navarro, no cross
Of Constantine. But we do hear the
shrill pipe Of the engine, and we dc
see the sweat Of the forge. 1t is true
that there is in the history Of Gov
Wilt one day illustrated by as CRANE
conduct, as chivalrous and noble
bearing and as patriotic performance
~ can he found in the annals Of Oul
country. Iallude, Of course, to TIN
fourth of January, 1875. Onthat da.
| would rather have been Wilt tha,
Governor Of Louisiana. But ther'
were no roaring Of cannon, 10 rattl'
of the death shot, no waving Of ban
ners, no cheers for the conqueror
and therefore there are no pRans ant
. fow enconiums. Wilt has actual.
!, wrought himself to his proud and en-
viable position. From poor orphan
boy, behind the counter, he has work
ed himself up to u certainty OF tn
governorshiR Of the State. What
comment updV the power of pluc
and energy \Yonng men Of thi
audience, make vote andprotit by tn
example. Byron has said that ther
are words that are things. If a pal
pablc essence can be concentered j
q mere sound it is in that hard, gilt
tcring Anglo-Saxon word "worl
work, work" Without it few thing
that are worthy can be accomplished
, , with it all things may be.
| predict, fellow citizens, that tn
same untiring work that has place
, Gov. Wilt in his proud position wi
make him one of the most useful an
energetic executives the State ha
ever had. He will disappoint his el
, cmies and crafty his friends.

An associated press dispatch states that
nearly a thousand negroes have recently ar
rived at st. Louis from Louisiana and Miss
issippi who came under the belief that they
were to be furnished free transportation from
that city to Kansas and that there the gov
eminent was to give them lands, money,
mules and agricultural implements and set
them up in the farming business. Arriving
at st. Louis they discover that a fraud has
been perpetrated upon them, and as they
can procure no employment they are thrown
upon the charity of the people. The mayor
of st. Louis has issued a proclamation warn
ing all persons against coming to that city
in an im%pecunious condition.

Davenport democrat
Ex-senator Dorsey, like all the rest of
the carpet baggers, is for Grant in 1880.
He does not believe that any other name
than that of Grant will be mentioned in
the Republican National convention. De-
mocrats, the country oyer, will hope that
Dorsey's prediction may be verified, for
they know that Grant can never again be
elected to Office in this country, unless it
be that of constable or village squire,

John Sherman starts in the presidential
canvass with this advantage, says the Chi

Blackmail'

The political assessment business is now
in full operation, and woe be to the
employe who dares refuse to contribute to
the republican campaign fund. 1t is all
well enough for republican organs to claim
that it is voluntary on the part of govern
ment employes-it won't bear investiga-
ton. This shameful system of black mail
inaugurated by the republican managers
is disgrace to any party and should be
abolished. When it is admitted that only
by the corrupt use of money can success
be attained, then the republicans may as
we'll submit now as any time to over.
whelming defeat. But for republican
flibusteriDg the Infamous practice of levy
Jog blackmail for partisan purposes woulC

Gratis in congress voted to iproAibit politi
cal assessment. 1t is as well, perhaps
that it did not pass, as, by the continu
ance of the blackmail programme, repubi
can rascality is more completely uncovered
The people never more fully understood
the true situation than now, and it reason
ably safe to predict crushing republican
defeat all along the line. The ute
depraVity of the stalwaIt leaders invites
defeat, and the invitation, they, by thei
infamous record have extended, will b.
cheerfully accepted by the people, and b.

gated by the people to perform the funer

The republicans in Maine are in sore dis
tress. They have sent for Secretary Sher-
man, and he insists in making hard money
speeches, to the utter disgust Of a large
proportion OF those who assemble to hear
him, and of course hurts where it was in
tended he should help republican pros
poets. But what is still worse he keeps
booming for Sherman and the presidency,
more than for the republican state ticket
of Maine. There are internal dissensions
In the camp, besides, which altogether
makes a gloomy showing for the stalwarts
In the meantime the Democrats and the
Greenbackers are prosecuting vigorous
and aggressive campaign and on the whole
republican success, may be regarded al
not by any means certain.
