The FASTEST MILES ON RECORD. When
horses trot as fast as st. Julien or Maud s.,
they need to be up to concert pitch to do their
level best, and when in the slightest degree
off, their supreme efforts are impossible. 10
view of the fact that St. Julien has been suf-
fering with the epidemic for several weeks,
his recent trials, especially his 2;124 at Pros
pect Park, on the 18th inst, are very note
worthy and creditable Before he made that
effort, those who visited him in his stall, and
saw the epizootic duid fairly streaming from
his nostrils, did not expect from him a mile
better than 2: rs, and his driver conceded in
that view He would not run the risk of ur-
ging SO sick a horse, and yet he trotted in
212ss, absolutely on his courage! 1t was q
tremendous performance. For the present his
career in the east is ended, and his Belmont
Park engagement will not 3e kept, owing to
the combined illness of st. Julien and Hickok.
Since he left California he has travelled over
10000 miles in railroad cars, has undergone
numerous changes of climate, yet never has
he failed to give fine exhibition of speed,
and never has he made break. A brief sum-
mary of his brilliant campaign will be inter-

campaign ever made by another horse, and
speaks no less for the astonishing speed of
st. Julien, than for this splendid constitution
and indomItable courage. The Gay blood
does not seem to make him quit. He will
soon be shipped for California, and in that
genial cline may astonish the trotting COM
munity again before the year closes

Concerning President-elect Garfield's love of
base bali the Star of Washington remarks:

Baseball players and the lovers of the
sport ought to organize into themselves
private boom on account of General Garfeld's
election. He is one of them. He never
misses game when one is within reach.
During that part of the session of Congress
when the base baller is base balling, General
Garfield never failed to put in an appearance
at the National grounds. He is generally
there sometime before the game is called.
When the duties of an afternoon session neces-
sarily require his presence in the House he is
sometimes late on the grounds, but never
fails to be in at the finish. Few people take
the interest in the game that he does or follow
it as closely Sir Edward Thornton is pref
ty sure spectator, but he stays in the outfield
in his carriage. General Garfield gets right
down in the front row of seats of the grand
stand. He keeps the score himself and
watches every play, as intently aslif he had
thousands of'dollarsi on the game. He cheers
every neat play and gets as excited as any,

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Ca
tarrh, explains the following important facts:
l: That Catarrhal Colds become q
poisonous infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach of mere local
remedies. ....... .. "a,
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
E 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhoa, Bronchitis,
Leucorrhea, and Consumption.
s. That Smokes. Douches, Limitations,
and lnsoluble Snuffs. cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named. .-....
6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
possess an inoculative affinity for and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,

has proved to be infallible. 1t not only re-

See How They Love Each Other!

The Republicans of the United States
have gotten themselves into an inhar-
monious position. The discussions of
their Journals have, if we take them all
in all, disbarred all of the Republican
candidates for the Presidential nominal
ton. The people of the country only
need to go SO far as the perusal of the
Republican journals of the country to
learn that neither of the Republican
candidates ought to be nominated or
ought to be elected after nomination.
There is plenty of Republican testi-
mony to show that Blaine and Sherman
are bad men and corrupt men. There
is, to those gentlemen, an uncomforta-
BILE amount of evidence as to both of
these points. If we may believe Re-
publicans no Republican candidate for
the Presidency that has yet been named
ought to be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Chicago Convention, OF
elected by the people afterward. Each
of the Republican journals of the coun-
try gives excellent reasons why the
other Republican candidate for
the Presidency ought not to be
nominated or elected. The Repub-
ican expressions of the Republican
sentiment concerning the Republican
candidacy for the Presidency are not
suggestive of Republican harmony. Mr.
Sherman is bitterly opposed by Repuh-
icans. He is antagonized by Repub1i-
cans in Ohio where he should have no
Republican opposition. All Republi-
cans, really, seem to have killed all
Republican possibilities of electing
Republican President The Republican
attacks made upon Mr.. Blaine in Ohio,
and elsewhere, ought to be sufficient to
convince the American people that Mr..
Blaine ought not to be elected to the
Presidency. If we may believe Repub-
licans, Mr.. Blaine should not De made
President; and if we may believe Re-
publicans, Grant should not be made
President; and if we may believe Re-
publicans, John Sherman should not be
made President. From the Republican
press of the country the evidence, much
of which is before US, indicates that no
Republican candidate for the nomina-
ton at Chicago for the Presidency
should be nominated or elected. We
might print this Republican testimony
in volumes, but we forbear. 1t is sig
nifcant that in Democratic ranks there
is no similar advertisement in advance
that no Democratic candidate for the
Presidency ought to be nominated OF

How Currm Broke Down.

T4r q e
A successful man can well afford
to tell of his first failure, and laugh
over it. The great orator Sheridan and
the Primo Minister, Lord Beaconsfeld,
broke down in their first parliamentary
efforts; but they perserered as every one
must who will triumph. The following
is Curran's s description of his first ap-
pearance at a debating society: -
g stood up. My mind was stored
with about a folio volume of matter;
but for want of u preface the volume
was never published. l stood up,
trembling at every fibre, though re-
membering that in this | was but imita-
ting Tully. 1 took courage, and had
actually proceeded about as far as
Mr.. Chairman when, to my astonish-
rHent and terror, l perceived that every
eye was riveted upon me. There were
only six or seven present, and the little
room could not have contained as many
more; yet it was to my pain-stricken
Imagination as if [ were the central OBJ
ject in nature, and assembled thousands
were gazing on me with breathless ex-
pectation. | became dismayed and
dumb. My friends cried, Hear him!'
but there was nothing to hear. My
lips, indeed, went through the panto-
mime of articulation; but was like the
unfortunate fiddler at the fair, who,
coming to strike up the solo that was to
ravish every ear, discovered that an
enemy had maliciously soaped the bow;
or rather like poor Punch, as once
saw him, grimacing a soliloquy, of
which his prompter had most indis-
crcetly neglected to administer the
words.''
Such was the debut of Jack Curran
or 's Orator Num- as he was waggish-
ly styled, but not many months elapsed
before the sun. of his eloquence burst
forth in dazzling splendor. m IL

The EIectrOph0ne.

The French papers announce the sue
cessful working of new instrument for
the transmission of sound. The exper-
iment was tried lately at Mans, Chef
lieu of the Department of Sarthe, in the
Office of the Maison chappee, the COM
munication being with the foundries of
Antoigne, some fifteen miles (twenty-
four kilometres distanD. The results
were very far superior to anything ever
effected by the telephone. The macl1in-
cry consists simply of a small wooden
case. enclosing another case of glass.
Upon the latter are disposed little cyl
inders of pure carbon, which, by their
differences of conductibility. transmit
to the receiving post the vibrations of
the voice or other sound. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly simple apparatus, but one
denoting profound knowledge of the
laws of acoustics. Moreover, it can
be set up or taken down in minute,
and does not get out of order. The
transmission of sound like that of the
ordinary telephone is by means of a tel
egraphic wire, one wire only being used,
for allowing the earth to return the cur
rent gives better results than when two
wires are used. At twenty-four kilo-
metres of distance different voices were
readily distinguished. An air played
upon flute in closed room adjoining
and some thirty feet from the electro
phone was heard with wonderful clear
ness. With this instrument one does
not have to speak into any tube or OPEN
ing but near the instrument in the Or
binary voice. During this experiment
at Mans the passing of railway train
within tifty feet did not interfere in the
least with the clearness of the trans
mitted sounds. The inventor of this
instrument, NJ. Maiche, declares that
the instrument will work at any dis
tance, and has not the least doubt that
the human voice can be transmitted by
means of it from France to America
through the Atlantic cable--N.. Y.

Republican FalsehO0ds.

The statement going the rounds that
$4,000 was appropriated to meet the
expenses of the Exodus Committee, and
that it is all expended, is totally false.
There has never been d dollar appro-
priated for that purpose. The resolu-
ton raising the Exodus Committee pro-
vided that the expenses should be paid
out of the miscellaneous fund of the
Senate. The expenses of several other
Committees, such as the Committee in
vestigating Kellogg and Spofford, the
Committee on the Ingalls, case, the
Committee on the Cheyenne Indians,
the Teller Committee, and others, have
all been paid out of that fund.- besides
the usual expenses of the Senate
chargeable to that account. How much
of this fund has been spent in the exodus
investigation-has not been ascertained,
but whatever the amount may be the

sponsible as the Democratic Senators,

POLITICAL POINTS.

the hands of his friends, and they will
not withdraw him until he is beaten"

sylvania, told Judge Black that he
ought to be Republican, the latter re-
piled that there was only one thing in
the way. eff" said he, "there was
no hereafter, l would join the Republi-
can party at once. Nothing deters me
but the fear of hell. .''-Bostoas Post.
Young Stephen A. Douglas, who
is evidently not altogether the son of
his father, recently delivered Grant
speech in Chicago in which, according to
Forney's Progress, he made each point
he wished to present as effectively as
the Little Giant in his palmiest days.
The following is an extract: ''Now, gen.
tlemen, Indiana is one of those States
that is always just going to be Repub-
lican State, and just amt" Now, will
the distinguished orator tell US why this
am so?-Bostoa Post.
- Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, is
presented for the consideration of the
Chicago Convention in making up its
ticket. Bruce is the colored Senator
from Mississippi whom Hoar and Ham
lin are so fond of and so glad to see
anywhere except in their own society.
The Senator's friends labor under the
hallucination that the Republicans are
in earnest in their pretense of fond
ness for the negro, and that they will
be glad to show it by giving the second
place on the ticket to one of that race.

We notice that some of the rad
ical organs are whining sorrowfully be-
cause the Democrats are disposed to
take advantage of the dissensions in

the Government by electing their tick
ct. 1t is new doctrine that men
cannot take advantage of a personal
fight among a band of robbers to pos
sess themselves of their own property.
But no amount of audacity is surpris-
ing in party that boldly and in the
most shameless manner stole the Presi-
dency four years ago, and have used it
ever since to advance their own inter-
ests.-Portla7ad (Ne.) argus. r.. 4..
c-55s--General John Mcdonald, the ex-
whisky-ring magnate, promises to fur
nish large quantity of entertaining
Democratic campaign literature if
Grant is nominated. He informed a
representative of the Times in St. Lou
is, the other day, that he has kept all
the letters he has received for many
years, and that in this way he has in
his possession very close and clear
history of Grants Administration. He
walked into court at ST. Louis with the
atmosphere of the President S blue-room
in his clothing, but he need not have
gone farther than that alone. He i'm
plies that he went to prison to save
Grant, and suffered for eighteen months
rs malefactor in order to save the Re-
public the deepest disgrace which could
befall it. He is not sure that the Chi
cago Convention will nominate Grant,
but if it does, he will show by docu
ments in his possession that he should
not be elected Chicago Times.
