The King OF the Turf.

The wonderful performance Of the
trotter st. Julian in California, in MAX
ing a mile on the Oakland track in 2 :121,
the quickest time on record, recalls to
mind his first appearance on the track.
Mr.. Galway was the owner of the half
mile trotting track at Goshen, N. Y,
which was often used by neighboring
farmers to try the speed of their colts.
One fine day, when the track was in
good condition, an aged farmer, some
what dilapidated in appearance, drove
on it in an old wagon behind a handsome
colt. As he whirled around the track
Mr., Galway kept his eyes riveted upon
the colt for some time. The colts
splendid gait, beautiful style of acting
and speed interested Mr.. Galway so
much that when the stranger drove up
to him he hailed him to stop, and made
inquiries about the colt. The farmer
gave his pedigree, and said that he was
the boss in those parts. Mr.. Galway
asked if he was for sale, and the farmer
replied that he was if the price was OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Galway then requested
that he be sent around the track twice
more. With this the stranger seemed
only too happy to comply. As the colt
glided swiftly around again Mr., Galway
held his watch on him, and the result
satisfied him that he was a remarkable
colt, and he determined to buy him if
possible. When the stranger pulled up
again he questioned Mr.. Galway as to
how he liked the colts movements. MIR.
Galway answered that he liked them
very we'll, and then asked the farmer
what his price was for the %trotter. The
farmer said that if he could not get 5000
for him he would keep him. The horse
is mine,' quickly responded Nj. Galway,
and he then and there bought and paid
for him, both parties being pleased with
the bargain.
The next year he trotted in every race
at Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Utica,
Poughkeepsie and in the East, and won
every time against good fields of trotters.
AT Poughkeepsie he won in three straight
heats, and was never headed, trotting
the three heats without askip or a break.
His winninrs that season footed mn IL ia
said, $40, 600. MI. Galway then sold
st. Julian to Orrin Hickox, a gentleman
in California, for $40, 900, and the horse
was soon thereafter on his way to the
Golden State, where he has since re-
NAMED and accomplished a feat unparal-
leled in public trotting. A few weeks
ago he won a trot in California in 2:17.
st. Julian is by Volunteer, and is a half
brother to the famous Gloster who died
in California.

A landowner in Santa Barbara, GAL,
has seven acres of tuberoses in full
bloom. The flowers are sold when fresh
to florists for decoration, and to drug
gists for making perfumery. The bulbs
find sale for planting in gardens else
where, and are larger and finer than
Eastern.grown bulbs. Those tuberoses
received only ordinary culture, and yet
some Of the clumps have sent up twenty
and thirty flower stalks ranging from
three to four feet high. The bulbs were
originally procured from the East. Only
800 were planted some three years ago,
and they have multiplied thus wOnder-
fully.

eager light, and the body bends quickly
forward as ito grasp a fresh acquisition.

The Postage of theMOrld.

The postage of the world, according
toa valuable computation of DR.. Fischer,
of the imperial German postoffice, shows
that in 1878 the letter post of the whole
world amounted in round numbers to
$500, 900, 900 letters or about $3.50, 600
daily, and the numbers have been in
creasing daily at an astonishing rate.
Thus in Japan the number of p~ostofices
in 1872 was 1,159, and in 1876 it had
risen to 3,6i9. The number of separate
articles which passed the Japanese post
in 1878 was AZ, 000, 900 of which %, COO,
900 we're letters, 10, 000, 900 postcards,
and $500, 900 newspapers. Post. cards
we're first brought into use only in 1865,
aud nov they are employed in almost
every country in the world. The parcels
post has, however, not yet got beyond
the first stage of its development. The
number of telegraphic dispatches sent
in 1877 amounted for the whole globe to
nearly 100, 600, 600, or an average of
453, 600 daily. More than one.third OF
the total number of telegraphio dis
patches, are private, dealing with purely
personal concerns. The newspaper
press absorbs a large proportion Of the
kilograms of the world, while the world
of finance and commerce also appropri-
ates a giants share.

4 Country IdIl.

IN all the land the wheat fields stand,
Golden ripe and fair 10 see,
Aud bending low the respers go,
Swinging their cradles menily,
All but Rupert-why not he.
His sWanhy cheeks grow hot and red,
He cnts the golden swsrth so vide;
In sullen mood he turns his head
To hide the flush OF foolish pride,
And will not glance nor turn aside.
A vision DER the meadow springs,
And eilken garments rustic down,
Dainty fingers CLEAN with ringsi
Bat gentle BosAlind from the town
Brings the pitcher cracked aud brown.
And ROsalind binds the yellow grain
Sheen OF satin and love Of youth;
AT last she asks with tender pain,
TELL me now, and tell me true,
Am | Rsbekah or am | Ruth.
A sudden hight in sullen eyes,
And Rupert turns with iustic grace;
Unheeded now the last sheaf lies
There at her feet be takes his place
A newborn light upon his face.

She Was Equal to the Emergency.

Last night, says The Louisville COur-
Ter Journal, n young man took his
sweetheart TO the exposition with a cold
blooded determination. He showed her
the dog show.
This said he, is one Of the best
things in the exposition 81
Hs her explained the two great en-
gines seer in the industrial part of the
building.
He showed her the art gallery and
that pretty picture in the press-room
which is called Farewell to the Forest
and which every lady who sees it wishes
to carry of.
This picture he explained, exhibits
agem of female loneliness, and few things
could be pref Ter. The greatest attrac-
ton / have reserved for the last. 1t is
by far the most unique thing in the
building The young lady became
very much interested as he led her up
stairs and expatiated on the beauties of
the unknown object.
Soon they stood before the large mir
ror; he paused, and 80 did she. Then,
with a cold blooded explanation worthy
OF a better cause, lie pointed into the
mirror ut the young lady's reflection,
and said That, I think, is the boss at
traction in the exposition"

her bushes, that one glass should mir

The Christian Register relates this
pathetic incident:
Some time ago a poor little boy came
to a city missionary, and, holding up a
dirty and worn. out bit Of printed paper,
said: Please, sir, father sent nae to get
a clean paper like that Taking it from
his hand the missionary unfolded it, and
found it was q page containing that
beautiful hymn Of which the first stanZa
is as follows:
Just as 1 am-without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou biddestme come TO thee,
Oh Lamb Of God / come.
The missionary looked down with in
terest into the face earnestly upturned
to him and asked the little boy whore he
got il and why he wanted a clean one.
we found it, SIR said he, lin sisters
pocket after she died. And she used to
sing it all the time while she was sick,
and loved il 80 much that father wanted
to get a clean one and put it in q frame
to hang il up. Won't you give us a clean
one, sir9' This little page with a single
hymn on it had been cast upon the air
like a falling leaf by Christian hands
humbly hoping to do some possible
good. In some little mission Sabbath
school probably this poor girl had
thoughtlessly received it, to find in it,
we may hope, The gospel Of her saliva

Bread Cast on the Waters.

1t is not every day that an angel is
entertained unawares in a gaming saloon.
Twenty three years ago a man named
Todd, while playing cards in a gambling
saloon in Centralia, ILL.,, was accosted by
a young Frenchman from New Orleans,
who had lost all his money and had no
friends. Todd lent the stranger $500.
The Frenchman returned to the table,
won a good sum Of money and repaid
his benefactor. Years rolled on and
Todd lost all his money. One day last
week he received a letter from a woman
in Kansas City, Mo-, stating that while
passing through that State on the train
she met the wife of the man TO whom he
lent the $500; that she had recently
returned from Paris, where she had gone
with her husband to get a very large
estate left him by a rich uncle; that
while in Paris her husband had died,
and in his will had left $50, 900 to D. i.
Todd, the mar who had befriended him
when he was almost in the act Of taking
his W life.

the latter made q mistake in accounts
very much to his own advantage. The

The Queen Bee,

Many have asked the question 'Does
the queen govern the colony9' We an.
swer, No. The economy of the colony
is directed by the workers. 1t seems
that the only necessity of the queen is
to supply the hive with eggs, and the
colony is entirely dependent on the
queen for this. Curiosity has prompted
me to scrutinize this subject very closely,
and l am free to confess that l have
failed to discover that she performs any
other Office in the hive except the one
mentioned. L never discovered that
she possessed any care of her off. spring;
not even manifesting any parental care
whatever for their welfare in fact, the
workers, as a general thing, supply her
with honey and other food necessary to
sustain her, and it is the food in a very
great measure, both quality and guam.
tity, that stimulates the queen to breed
ing rapidly +; and this food, as given by
the worker, greatly affects the produc-
tion of the eggs, either to increase or
diminish the quantity. l think she has
the power of regulating the amount of
eggs necessary for her safety of the
colony /; when honey is abundant che
will lay profusely, evidently having the
power OF regulating or REFRESHING the
the development of her eggs. She
will diminish the number and almost
cease laying, and when circumstances
require she will at once engage in active
labor, depositing either in worker or
drone cells, as circumstances may re-
quire. The eggs in drone cells are de-
posted in the season when such are
required-generally commencing from
the 1st to 10th of April-but this de-
ponds greatly or the season. If the
swarm be strong and honey plenty in
the forest, she is actively engaged in
laying both in worker and drone cells; sha
evidently understands her business
nothing done at random. A fertile
queen is n that has paired with the
drone or male bee, and is capable Of
laying eggs that will produce workers,
drones, or queens. Barren bees are
often found in the hives. A queens
fertility lasts from three to FIVE years,
and then the workers frequently de-
stroy her, aud rear another. They are
sometimes superseded when from two to
three years old. -Bee-ReeperS Maya

We do not suppose that any close OF

life. The pretexts by which it has been
ton ara too fiimsy and transparent to
deceive any bus the careless or the wilfully
blind
OF late it hiss been made clearly apparent
that General Grants determined plan of cam
paign includes the acquisition to his support
of some portion OF the Southern States. All
his recent conduct indicates this. He not
only exhibits particular satisfaction at the
receipt of any attentions from former seces-
sionists, but he has more than once ex-
pressed sentiments toward the South in
striking contrast with the recent speeches of
Conkling. Sherman, and Blaine. He de-
clares that it is our duty TO avoid all bitter
ness on the part OF sections. He solemnly
pledges himself, in Whatever situation he
may be placed in the future-And this can
refer TO nothing on earth butthe presidency
and shows how that is in his miDd-he will
be for those things, and only those which
will alley all bitterness of the psst-all sec
tional an,mosities. And this message be

There is room for a good deal of doub'
whether an accession of southern and secef
sion support would result in any real aug
mentation of General Grants strength. IL
