There IS an article going the

Sleep" The manner in which they
go to SLEEP, according to the article,
,can,t snold q candle to the way a
married woman goes to sleep. In
stead or Thinking what she should
have attended TO before going to
bed, she thinks of it afIerward.
While she is revolving these mat
tiers In her mind, and While snugfy
tucked up in bed, the old man is
scratching his legs In front of the
fire and wondering how be will pay
the next months rent, Suddenly
she says:
flames, did you lock the door ?''
(which dcor?" says James. IS
ssThe cellar doors says she. z
"No,p says he.
seNNell, you'd better go down and
lock it, for / heard some person in
the back yard last night"
y Accordingly James paddles down
stairs and locks the door. About
the time he returns and is going to
get into bed, she remarks:
tDid you shut the stair door ?''g
"No," says James.
"Well, if it's not shut the cat will
get up in the best room"
"Let her come up, then,n says
James, iIi-naturedly. VIC s#7
t.AIyt goodness, no % returns his
wife. She'd suck the baby's
breath.
Then James paddles down. stairs
again and steps on a tack and closes
the door and curses the cat and re-
turns to his bedroom. Just as he
begins to climb into his couch his
wife observes:

Suppose you bring some in the big
tin"
4 And SO James with a smothered
curse goes down into the dark kitch-
I en- and falls over a chair, and rasps
all the tinwaFe off the wall in search
of the "big tin" and then jerks the
stair door open and howls:

matches ?'
Il She gives him minute directions
where TO find the matches, and adds
that she would rather go and get
the water herself than have the
neighborhood raised about it. Az
ter which James finds the matches,
brochures the water, comes upstairs
and plunges in bed. Presently his
wife says: ,.i Al.li

New YORK, May 90. 1880.

NEW YORK, May ~, 1850.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: | suppose there can
be no objection to you having little amuse-
ment out of your Presidential efforts, but in
New York we had hoped you would see the
futility of any efforts for any but our candi-
date, and would wheel into line and give us
one paper in the Federal City advocating the
right. Samuel !. Tilden is the only man
who has an organized force working for him,
with plenty of money to do everything that
money can do. Where are the organizations
of Hancock and Bayard and Thurman You
may say that it is better for men to let dis
interested following work for them, and that
in the old days OF the Republic anything else
would have been deemed unseemly. Look,
however, at what has beend done for Grant by
his forces. Has lie not forced conventions to
his support without the people being behind
them3 Will he not force the nomination at
Chicago in the same way, and do not his
whippers-in count upon solid Republican
vote as the result of his nomination That
is what has been done and will be done by
an organization with plenty of money. That
is our case and our prospects are similar.
What will million of dollars do in Cincinnati,
provided always that Pelton has nothing to
do with the expenditurel Why our friends
say there is not opposition enough from
all sources together to make the fight
interesting. Hancock could not even
carry his own State, and see how dter-
emily we arranged matters here and
how impossible we made it for any one to
give vote adverse to our candidate in the
Convention. They talk great deal about
disaffection at the South, but Montgomery
Blair has shown the Southern people up,
and they will not dare to have an opinion
of their own at Cincinnati. Do you suppose
that Randall and Jewett and Payne and
Barnum, each one of whom hopes to receive
Tilden's mantle. will cease in their efforts
for him, and will not their influence carry
Pennsylvania and Connecticut and Ohio for
him. Give us Tilden and his money and
a united Democracy here and We will re-
elect him, and, now that Chandler is dead ,
who was not afraid TO spend money, we will
nave Democial ihauSuIaleh next Mafth'
Don't kick against the pricks; let drop the
men who are too proud to work for them
selves and aid MS to nominate Tilden by ac-
| clamation. DO not be deferred by Kelly and
| his 50, 900 votes in this State. We shall
more than make that up by Republi
can votes, for you will not forget that
Governor Robinson and Bgelow were Re-
publican ofice-holders when Tilden became
Governor Of this state, and he converted
them to our side, where they are now
earnest in their abors. Yours,
ANTI-fRAuD.

JyfE GREAT ROWING FRAUD.

The cloud which hung over Courtney when
he came to Washington viii he much darker when lie
leaves and it is douJuui II h. caR scer regain the
confdence Of IL, sporting 'oord.-Rspubiican re-
port of the bodt-Tdcs fsEle.
The trouble with Courtney is that he has
the confidence of " the sporting world y too
completely. The gambling fraternity Were
never in doubt as to where to place their
money, and the credulous who put faith in the
honesty of professional oarsmen have paid
dearly for little useful experience. There
is no longer a shadow of doubt that this
Hanlan- Courtney match was a deliberate
fraud from the beginning. Bringing Riley
here, the new rig, and all the rest of the
performances, were only part of the game
TO stimulate the curiosity of the already
disgusted public and get up enough ex-
element to make the pool swindle profita-
bic. The talk about Hanlans being angry
with Riley for rowing over the course is part
of the game to get purse put up and chance
TO gull the public again. Hanlan and Riley
are in the most undesirable position of having
been used TO promote the most disreputable
gambling swindle ever perpetrated in
America.
As for Courtney's sickness, it would have
made negro pale to play the role he was
set to play before the assembled multitudes
looking down on the Potomac and his
indeible disgrace. of course he was
sick. How could lie help being sick
But he carried out his contract for all that.
1T the Potomacs, who had lost their money on
him, knowing he could row if he would, had
thrown his worthless carcass and his shell
into the river they could not have been
blamed. We are surprised at the gingerly
manner in which the local press has dealt
with this fraud. Why the announcement
in last SUNDAYS HERALD that Courtney was
feeling badly was enough to raise suspicion,
and all of his antics before and since the
race have been those of the unmtigated
scOundre and sneak. As for Mr.. Blaikie
we regret to say that his position is not an
enviable one. There is a possibility that
some of the actors in the affair were imposed
upon, but in the nature Of things none OF
them can either he fully exonerated nor con
clusively proved to be guilty.
That Courtney was only carrying out an
arrangement to swindle pool-buyers il
proved by his conduct. II lie felt that Ia,
could not win, he need lot have started, al
Riley was present expressly to meet such 4
contingency. But Courtney had 10 start IN
order that his hackers might lose theil
money.
Since the above was written it appears IL
have been settled that Riley and Ilanlan arc
TO row for purse subscribed by the citizens
OF Washington. All that needs to be said
about this is to advise our readers not to bet
ON the race. Then there will be no induce
ment for the oarsmen to row for the pool
box instead of for the purse.

We are able to chronicle as splendid a week IS
racing at Ivy City as has ever been seen on
an American race-course. Each contest had
a large field of starters and was honestly
run, the best horse winning in every case.
The racing was altogether of very high
quality, and few turimcn have ever attended
race meeting where the sport was so well
sustained, for there absolutely was not
weak or poorly contested struggle en- the
hOme-stretch during the entire meeting. The
hearts of all lovers of the turf were cheered
by sturdy and honest running, as well as by
the high quality Of the horses that ran. Be
sides this the weather was propitious, the
track fast, and the arrangements perfect. 1t
is greatly 10 be regretted that the receipts
were seriously diminished by the fzzle ON
the Potomac, which had the effect of a coun-
ter attraction. The running meetings at the
National Fair Grounds are now firmly es-
tablished as permanent seni-annual events,
and hegrand stand each day showed that this
noble sport had the complete sanction of the
beet society of the Capital, Let the commune

made this enterprise a success, and let other

only do both parties rely greatly upon the
use of money in carrying elections, but they
resort to it without stint to influence pri-
maries and obtain nominations. When both
candidates are not the product of an un-
