21:35.

HALIFAX, September 1.-The race
between Smith and Morris, one and a
half miles and turn, was rowed this al
ternoOn in the presence of five thousand
spectators. At $40 the referees boat
came down the coarse, and by signal
ordered the men out. As Morris came
down from his quarters to the shore he
was heartily cheered. The water had
slight ripple, but was in good condition.
smith came out from raft near Tan
merry wharf, and was also greeted with
enthusiastic cheers. Both men were
dressed in blue sleeveless jackets,
drawers and caps, Smiths being light
and Morris dark. Morris won the toss

the water first and led for the first half

gained and turned the stake boat few
seconds ahead and led all the way down.

Gala Days -Fair-Large and Brilliant Dis
plays Second Days Races - Fair
Notes.
This week is Wellsburg's gala time,
and the Fair is the important event that
causes it. This, the second day OF our
"blg show" opened out auspiciOusly
for its success. "Old Probabilities" ;"
seemed to have exerted himself in its
favor, and finer weather could not be
desired. The attendance, while not
quite as large as last year, was large
enough to cheer the hearts of the stock
holders. The attendance tomorrow
Thursday is expected to eclipse all the
former fairs in point of numbers. The
exhibits are very numerous and the
large hall presents a brilliant display.
The stock department has double the
exhibits of any previous fair, and there
is some of the finest stock on exhibition
that was ever seen collected together
hereabouts.
The Smithfield cornet band OF twelve
pieces, D. r. Brisben leader, dlscoursed
some very excellent music.
In the pacing lace five horses entered
and all started, winning as follows: Fly
ing Hiatoga first money, Latrobe sec
ond, Lady Lightfoot third, Free and
Easy fourth and Brace Up fifth. The
best time, as near as could be ascer-
tanned, as the judges would not an
nounce it from the stand, was about
2:35.
In the green trot four horses entered
and started, as follows: Mohawk Kate,
Harper, Bay Mare and Bay Horse. Mo-
hawk Kate took first money. There
was some disagreement as to which
horse was entitled to second money, and
the Judges had not decided when We lett.
Hermit, Wheeing's famous goer, is
here, just having returned from the
grand circuit, and will be in the trot-
ting race tomorrow afternoon.
Chestnut Dick, another Wheeling
trorter, is also here, and will ego" to-
morrow.
o. Eiseman and Will Handlan, OF
Wheeling, are taking in our show.
Hunter and Sheriff, two fast steppers
from Ohio, are here, and are entered for
sweepstakes tomorrow.
There are also a great many horses
for to-morrow's races, but We cannot
particularize.
While at the Fair Grounds this after
noon, Mrs. Job Lewis was stricken with
paralysis, but at this writing is consid-
erably better. ,
Gen. |. II. Duval and q. b, Crawford

over. Burns won.

A Louisville Man Burns Himself to Death

LOUISVILLE, September l7.-Frank II.
Lensing, age 80 years, residing at the
corner of Twentieth and Madison
streets, died at 8 o'clock. He was alone
in the house and poured coal oil over his
clothes and set himself on fire. The
smoke from the window attracted the at
tention of the people in the street, who
ran to the room in the second story, the
door of which Lensing had locked, broke
it open and found the man burned to
crisp. Lensing was formerly a we'll
known grocer and has been sick for the
past year.

Further Particulars Of the Afghan Revolt.
LONDON, September 1.-THE Indian
officials telegraph further details OF the
attack on the British residency at Cabul.
1t is related by a trooper who escaped
that when the mutinOus troops were
making an outcry for their pay, a sol
dier shouted, LET US kill the Envoy and
then the Ameer." The mutineerS then
rnshed upon the embassy and stoned
SOME of the servants. The troops COM
posing the escort OF the embassy fired
upon the mutineers without orders
from the British officers. The mutineers
then went for their weapons. They
were absent about quarter OF an hour,
during which time the British officers
might have escaped. The residency
was defended from the windows and
from q trench made on the outside with
the mud roof. The letter sent out by
the escaped trooper was from Lieuten-
ant Hamilton, promising the mutineers
six months pay. Ii was sent at three
O'Clock i'm the afternoon, when the mu-
tineers were already on the roof
of the residency, which was just
being set on fire. The bearer
OF the letter was thrown from the roof
and made insensible. When he recov-
cred, he was brought before General
Kerim Khan, commander of the mutt
neers' brigade, who said he was power
less against the mutineers, and ordered
that the trooper be imprisoned. On re-
visiting the residency, the escaped
trooper saw the bodies of Lieutenant
Hamilton and Jenkyns stripped and
cut to pieces.

RESUMPTION

has been accomplished. We have lived
TO see all money at an equal value, all
dealing in a stable currency. Prices are
rising because a general confidence is
felt in resumption. Everything de-
pends upon confidence in the peo-
pies currency. Irredeemable paper
could not bring this confidence. Ex-
perience is the only thing from which
nations or people learn wisdom. Hlsto-
~ teaches us that irredeemable paper
ruined France in the past; yet, follow
ing France, England, with her South
sea and other bubbles, ruined herself.
Frances example could not teach Eng
land: but after the war France had with
Germany, she, at the earliest moment,
resolved 10 reach resumption. This
move saved her credit and protected her
Industries. Her earliest experience
taught her the necessity Of early resump-
ton. A fixed time was set by us 10 re.
sumo, and as a result we have resump-
tion.
Metal currency is beautiful, valuable
and convenient, and as its intrinsic
value is stamped on its face, it will be a
regular and constant medium, not sus-
ceptble to fraud. All cheaper mediums
have been mistakes. Democrats say we
have not resumed. We say we have
not only resumed, but have performed
every promise we made. In 1879 our

THE TARIFF.

The tariff question would not be safe
in the hands OF Democrats. The Dem
ocratic party never made the proper dis
examinations, and it would be very un-
safe to rest the tariff in their hands. We
10 not advocate a prohibitory tariff, but
that discrimination should be made to
protect our home industries. The ma
ton that will not protect its own people
falls short OF its duty.

Ad crSity.

A happy main surrounded by the bless
ings of poverty, thus sums up the use
of adversity:
You wear out your old clothes. You
are not troubled with many visitors. -
You are cXhonerated from making calls.
Borcs do not bore you. Spongers cam
not haunt your table. Itineratc bands
do not play opposite your Window
You avoid the nuisance Of serving on
iuries. No one thinks of presenting You
with Il testimonial. No tradesman iri'i-
tates you by asking: "Is there any other
little article to-day?" Begging letter
writer's let you alone. Imposters know
it is useless to bleed you. You pfNc-
tice temperance. You swallow infinite
ly less poison than others. You are
saved many debt, many deception,
many headache. And lastly, if you
have a true friend in the world you are
sure in Il very short space of time to
learn it.
