THE FASTEST MILE EVER MADE To
WAGoN.-Edwin Forrest. on Wednes-
day. July 2. trotted the fastest mile
that has ever been made to wagon. He
was driven by Mr.. Bonner on the exer-
cising track on his farm. The first
quarter was trotted in 81 seconds, the
half in LOS, the three-quarters in 1.41-
3-4, and the mile in ZIG IL. This
great performance was made on three
quarter track, and, besides, the horse
carried Mr.. Bonner. who weighs over
l90 pounds. When Edwin Forrest trot-
ted at Utica last summer, before Mr..
Bonner bought him, such good judges as
George B. Alley, Charles Kerner, and
Ephraim Simmons SAID he was the fast
est trotter they had ever seen. The way
the horse is now performing proves that
they were correct in the opinion they
formed of him. $685.
Considering that this was on three.
quarter track, to wagon, and carrying
such weight, it is the greatest perform.

A LOVERS QUARREL.

They were sitting on the sofa, and
trying to save the repp covering from
wear and tear by occupying as little Of
1t as possible. He-his name is John
George and hers Mary Ellen-was up.
holstered in the highest style of the art,
while Solomon in all his glory bore
about the same relation to her that
brown stone mansion does to a rail fence.
81 don't believe you love me bit,"
she murmured, as she toyed lovingly
with his bewitching curls.
For answer he pursed up his lips, and
as she fastened to him he saw that she
was only exercising little dodge COM
mon among the girls to get him to ac-
knowledge that he did love her.
She reakanad- without her host or
rather her guest. John George was one
of the young men who believes himself
too cunning, and SO he determined to
punish his Mary Ellen.
She wanted her John George to own
up like little hero, but she did not
care to be SO direct in her next attack.
II think" she murmured, "there are
just too awfully many pretty girls in
this city. Don't you?''
"Good enough if they wouldn't paint
and wear false hair" he responded,
little crustily.
This was touching her on the raw,
and she answered somewhat tartly:
swell. I guess girls don't paint and
wear false hair any more than the men
wear padded coats and dyed mustaches."
"'Taint likely any man would dye
his moustache if the girls didn't like
moustaches dyed.
"Maybe some girls do like them, but
know one girl that doesn't and she
never will, a little spitefully.
"No, and you wouldn't look in the

her freckles. Ofcourse you wouldn't r.

"Yes, your cousin is nice girl. Pity
she couldn't get me to take her down to
the waterworks when she hinted at it SO
strong
"Well, l don't care. You are real
mean, and l wont sit here another min

And she rose in her angor and dnmp

of the room.
Nothing was said for few minutes.

drummed little with her foot on the
carpet, and attentiyely examined ring

given her by John George.
i There was not much hilarity in the
scene.

was not exciting enough to be interest

said in as matter of fact sort of way as
he could with big lump in his throat.

pleaded.

SCHOOL-DAYS.

Once more by mount and meadow side,
The merry bells are ringing,
Once more by vale and rver wide
The school-room doors are swinging;
Forgotten books, win pensive looks,
And states come forth from cover,
For hand in hand to lesson-land
Go little lass and lover.
Vacation hours were full of joy
Vacation skies were cherry;
Yet days which pleasant tasks employ
Are neither dull nor dreary.
The rythmic beat along the street
OF feet that dance in walking
Give witness true that three times two
Is better fun than talking.
What need Of bliss were ours, my friend,
five, like these, were allie
Our cares and discontents to spend
In vanquishing fable
five could be light and free
Amid our garnered pleasures,
As these who sweet the tale repeat
All II children dear, our later days
Have brought us wise anointing;
We see in all your sunny ways
The Fathers kind appointing.
Your morning bell is ours as WE'LL
We go to school to duty,
Whose brow severe from year to year
Wears fadeless wreaths of beauty.

Cincinnati Gazette has published mass

Clnclnnatl Gazette has puDllsned mass
of proof, taken from the records of the
Toronto court. The details of his work
and the methods he adopted for making
it effective are too revolving to contem-
plate. The facts in the case were SUBJ
stantially admitted, but the accused was
released because there was no law to
cover his infamous conspiracy. The
record is one to make even the people of
Kentucky blush for the governor they
have just inaugrated.
The charges were brought up against
Blackburn during the campaign and he
maintained studied silence in regard to
them. This silence became exasperating
to the more conscientious of his support
ers, but they were appeased with the
promise that he would give full and
satisfactory explanation on the day of
his Inauguration. The Lexington Tram
script called upon him sin the name of
all that is good" to do SO. But this ex-
hibition Of virtue was too much for the
stockholders Of the paper. They gave
the editor, Mr.. Ben Deering, the alter
native to retract or resign and he resign
ed, which is to his credit. But think of
the degradation of the stockholders of a
newspaper, when they support a candi-
date who cannot bear that amount of
pressure, and refuse to sustain an editor
who wants an explanation, believing, no
doubt, that good one could be made
This shows that the Kentucky democracy
is not exceptional from that of Louisiana
and Mississippi and does not scruple at
shot guns, murderous diseases and brakes
on the press to carry the cause of the
'Solid South"
There is, however, just one redeeming
feature for Blackburn and his support
ers. 1t is on the homeopathic principle
that like cures like. If by yellow fever
he was condemned, by yellow fever was
he also saved. When the epidemic was
raging down there a year or two ago, he
maintained his ground and cared for the
sick after other physicians had fed

was the means of securing his nomina.
tion. 1t is creditable to the democracy
of the Kentucky that they can appreciate
dutiful performance. But it is moi
creditable that they appreciate it because
done to the South, and ignore the mos
dastardly and barbarous crime of the
whole war because done to the North
1t is not the question Of heroism thai
moves them so much as it is the sectiona
and partisan character of the service
We have never heard of Kentucky
apotheosizing any of the heroic men an(
women of the North who went dowl
there as physicians and nurses when the
fever ragged. What would Kentuckian
say if one of those doctors, instead o
fulfilling mission of mercy, had Sc
agencies at work to spread the diseas
throughout the South ? Nay more: wha
would they think if some Northern stat
should afterwards confer upon that dec
tor the highest office in its gift? Woult
they not think and have right to thin
that it was not in spite of but because o
such service that the honor was conferred

REST FOR HEADACHEs.-Dr. Day
says, in late lecture; Whatever be
the plan of treatment decided upon. rest
is the first principle to inculcate in every
severe headache. Rest, which the busy
man and anxious mother cannot obtain
so long as they can manage to keep
about, is one of the first remedies for
every headache, and we should never
crease to enforce it. The brain, when
excited, as much needs quiet and repose
as fractured limb or an infamed eye,
and it is obvious that the chances Of
shortening the seizure and arresting the
pain will depend on our power to have
this carried out effectually. Itis prac
teal lesson to keep steadily in view, il
that there may lurk behind a simple
headache some lesson of unknown mag
nitude which may remain stationary i
quietude can be maintained.
There is a point worth attending to il
the treatment of all headaches. Sc,
that the head is elevated at night, ant
the pillow hard for, if it be soft. tn,
head sinks into it and becomes hot
which, with some people, is enough t
provoke an attack in the morning i
sleep had been long and heavy"
