From our Washington specials

1~ From our Washington specials it
appears that Hamburg Butler cannot
yet bring himself to bear gracefully any
reference to that massacre from which
he derives his pseudonym. When Sena-
tor Rollins, in debate, alluded in fitting
terms to that atrocity, Butler. who was
chief actor in it, replied with coarse
vituperation. in true bull-dozing style,
as If to give the lie direct or circum-
stantial could do away with the facts,
which render the massacre, and all re-
sponsible for it, infamous for all time.

D@ Mr.. Bayard's proposition to va
cate the offices of Supervisor of Elec-
tions all over the country. and give the
Senate a chance to reject the Presi-
dents appointments thereto. is fitted to
give the Democrats of the Senate
chance to prevent any enforcement Of
the Federal Election law at all in No
vember. The Senate can easily refuse
to confirm any of the Presidents ap-
pointees. on some pretext or other, and
gether. This is only fresh variation
upon the old theme, and is well calcu-
lated to help the Bayard boom. That
candidate commends himself most to
the Democratic heart in the bull-dozing
districts of the South, and the corrupt
metropolis of the North, who urges the
removal of all safeguards from the
ballot-box.-Norsoich (Conn.) Courier.

Racing in England.

The New York Times gives the fol-
lowing information concerning English
racing, The amount of money which
changes hands in connection with the
English turf has increased enormously
of late years, circumstance due in par.
to the great increase in the number of
races. From February to November,
inclusive, 1879. there were held 27l race
meetings; the number of stakes raced
for was 2, 1920, and the meetings occu-
pied in all 47S days of racing. The
value of the stakes raced for in 1879,
including the cups, etc., was nearly
$500, 900. Sixteen noblemen andgen-
tlemen netted over 1885,, 900. The race
which brought the most money to the
winner was the Derby-$35, 600. 1t
may be observed that while the turf
had no more sedulous supporter than
the late Earl of that ilk, whose pas,
times were in his race-horses and his
Homer, he never was destined to win
tie stakes of his name, which was
founded by his grandfather. One year
his horse, Toxophilite, was the favor
lite, and there was general hope that
the "Rupert of debate" would be the
winner; but it was not to be, and like
disappointment attended the stable of
his political henchman, Lord George
Bentinck. Lord Falmouth is by far the,
most successful racing man of these, or
probably of any times, winning, as he
has done in five years, over $500, 600 in
legitimate racing without betting.
Probably the late Sir Joseph Hawley
comes nearest to him in point of sue
cess. The same horse has more than
once won the two thousand guineas
stakes. the DERBY and the ST. Leger,

Our flowers may lack new high-sounding

Our chosen paths be rocky or wind-biown,
And yet we love our owni
The little child that sits beside our feet
May rob us of our strength and rest SO sweet,
And cause our way with cares to be thick

And yet we love our owni
There may he fairer lands and brighter skies,
There may be friends more faithful or more

Than any we have ever seen or known;
But each will love his Owni

wards of thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents as a female physician
and nurse, principally among children. She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as re-
suit of this effort and practical knowledge,
obtained in lifetime spent as nurse and ply
sician, she has compounded Soothing Syrup
for children teething. 1t operates like magic
giving lest and health, and is moreover,
sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence
of this article. Mrs. WinslOw is becoming

We are truly panied to record the death OF
John +. Jcpson, son of our collector, an &C
count of whose accident we gave . few weeks
ago. The young man had quite fully recov-
cred from his hurt, and was able to ride out.
when on Tuesday morning he was stricken
with appoplexy, had second shock in about
three hours after the first, and died ut halt
past nine o'clock Wednesday evening. The
attending physician, DR.. Martin. informs us
that the last attack was not result OF MS
first sickness. and is doubtless wholly the re-
suit of an abnormal condition of the tissues
and blood vessels of the brain. Mr.. Jepson
and wife have the sympathies Of the entire
community son Of Mr.. John L..
Crane, who has been at work At uxorldge:
Mass, is sick and man has been despatched
to bring him home.-Mr. Samuel Evans, nv
ing on Eli Jepson place, is very sick, and o9t
little hopes of his recovery are had.-K. :.

company, has sold in this town thirty ma

luxurious necessities Of life. Az many or
more moving machines were sold IN town
