An American Horse Wins the Prize of
Paris

PARIS, June 22.-The race for the
Grand Prix of Paris took place to-day,
and resulted in another victory for an
American horse. j. r. Keene's Fox
hall was winner, with Lefevre's Tristan
second, and Count De La Oranges AL
bion third The contest was a very
close and exciting one, especially near
the finish. Tristan joined FoXhall at
the distance, and both ran a grand
race home, Foxhall staying longer, won
by head. The weather was fine, but
sultry. The various roads to Long
champs were filled with vehicles. A
great many drags were conspicuous,
bearing the American flag The
attendance was immense. Presi-
dent Grevy, eX-Queen Isabella,
and Ministers Constans, Wag-
ner, and Ferry were present. Roche
fort. the Duke of Hamilton, Prince
Soltykof, and Marshal MacM&hon
were in a paddock. Owing 10 the re-
cent rainfall, the course was in excel
lent order. Two to one was the best
price obtainable. Albion and Tristan
were we'll supported. Long prices were
obtainable about the remainder. 1t
may be truthfully said that Foxhall
was in front through the race, and, de-
spite all efforts of Archer, who brought
Tristan with great rush at the dis
lance, Foxhall won by head amidst
tumultuous applause from the Amerl-
cans, who seemed to go quite mad,
and the waving of the stars and stripes
from many drags.
In the preliminary canter, Casimer
and Albion appeared to go best, al
though Foxhall was greatly admired.
After one false start, the horses were
sent ON their journey. Foxhall and
Tristan took the lead, but Archer
pulled Tristan back, and Dublin be-
came second. Alternate running was
then made by Foxhall and Dublin, fol
lowed by Fiddler, Lear and Albion,
with Forum and Tristan next, and
Cashier last, until going down hill,
about half mile from home,
where Foxhall still led, with
Fiddler second, Dublin being
beaten. Foxhall and Fiddler were
row attended by Scobell, Tristan and
Albion. In this order they ran to the
distance, when Tristan joined Foxhall
and the pair ran superb race home,
Foxhall, who stayed longest, winning
by a head Four lengths separated
! the second and third horses. Time,
3:17.
Betting at the start was two to one
against Foxhall, three to one against
Albion, four to one against Scobell, and
| five to one against Tristan. Ten ran.
After the decision of the Grand Prix all
interest in the races seemed to die out
and vast crowds moved speedily to the
capital.

Grieyed.

1t is we'll known that George Wash
ington, when a lad of 16, was employed
to survey a large tract of land west of
the Blue Ridge, in Virginia, which
Lord Fairfax had received from the
British crown. He did his work so well,
and displayed such manly qualities,
that Lord Fairfax became his warm
friend, and did much to promote his
interests.
When the revolution severed the re-
lation of the colonies to the mother
country, the two friends parted. Lord
Fairfax, as was natural to one educated
as an English nobleman, remained 10y
al to the crown. He had no faith in
the success of the colonies, or sympa-
thy with their cause. AS the war went
on, he withdrew more and more from
society, and lived quietly on his ele-
giant estate.
Passing one day through Winchester,
he heard the people shouting, and in
dulging in riotous Joy. On asking the
reason for the public tumult, he was
told that news had just arrived of the
surrender of Lord Corvallis with his
army to Gen. Washington. The proud
heart was broken, and the blow was the
heavier because it came from one he
had befriended in boyhood. In de-
spairing voice he called to his servant
''Take me home, Joe, to bed. 1t Is
time for me to die"

keening Children After School

There is one common practice of the
public schools which ought to be abol-
ished at once and everywhere without
question or parley. This is the prac-
tee OF imprisoning children in the
school-houses beyond the school-hours.
Pretty near every schooEhouse in the
land is thus turned into penitentiary, in
which children are iInmured every day,
some of them for imperfect recitations,
others for faults of department. The
method of punishment might, if the
teachers were all judicious, be resort
ed to occasionally with good effect;
but teachers are not all judicious, and
thousands Of children are thus detain-
ed every day, to whom the detention
is serious injury and grave injustice
For some trifiing breach of order, like
turning in the seat, or dropping a
pencil, for some small failure in recita-
ton, and often for no fault at all
whole classes being kept on ac-
count of Incidence of some of their
members, and the innocent thus suffer-
ing with the guilty-the children are
shut up in the school-houses, some
times during the intermissions, often
after the close of school. Thousands
of children in delicate health, to whom
the regular school hours are too long,
are permanently injured by this sys-
tenn of confinement. If only the stupid
and the willful and those in sturdy
health were thus punished there would
be less reason of complaint; but any
careful investigation viii show that such
discrimination is not generally made,
and, from the nature of the system,
cannot well be made; and that the in
jury to the health of pupils resulting
from the practice more than out
weighs any good that may result from
it. The health of the pupil is a SUBJ
iect to which the average school teach
er gives but little consideration; any
practice, therefore, which is liable to re-

THE TRESHERS.
This IS Az wheat-

This is the wheat
The wheat well grown, mans lawful spoil.
The new-plueked fruit of patient toll
Pledge me the farmers siIewy hand
His goOdly acres waiting stand;
Pledge me the hands his force can WELD
To pillow, to sow to reap the field
Bruise the bright heads and break them sore,
Scatter the chat from door to door,
Show me the kernal sound and sweet
The nations bread the winnowed wheat
This Is the fail
The noisy fail. whose loud uproar
Wears the Oaken threshing- floor;
A measured beat ringing round,
A hardened resonance Of sound,
The long low scaffold wax and wane
Drop d2yn the sheaves Of garnered grain,
And empty careless laughter-wild
The yellow straw is loosely piled.
Those yellow crashings tell the tale
Swing round the fail, the mighty fail.
These are the men
The men who cleave with sturdy stroke
The fallen giants heart of oak.
Now build for life and life's demands.
And fill with bread the waiting lands.
Clash rhyme with rhyme, the threshers' song
Deal blows on blows strike loud and long,
The wrench Of hunger drives at length
The iron Of unyielding strength;
Weld the bent blade-again, again,
And serve the puny race Of men

st. Jacobs OIL Upon the first applica-
ton used fully half a bottle, and its
effect was almost instantaneous inn
mediately dropped all other treatment,
and confined myself to its use alone.

of being driven to my business, or
moving about on crutches, / walked
from one to three miles daily about

Applied Theology.
From the Albany Arens


At meeting of the Woburn Confer
ence, Farmer Allen of Wakefield relat
ed the following anecdote:
One Sunday morning, while a certain
deacon was preparing for church, Il
wandering wayfarer, or in modern par
lance a tramp, appeared at his door,
pleaded his hunger, and begged for
something to eat. The deacon looked
solemn and frowningly but reluctantly
got loaf of bread and began to cut it;
but while doing 50 took occasion to adj
monish the beggar concerning the err
ror of his ways, After reminding him
that it was holy Sabbath which he was
Decorating, he asked him if he knew
how to pray. NO." was the reply,
''Then I'll learn you," said the deacon,
and commenced to say the Lords
prayer.
But just as he uttered the first W ords
"Our Father" the beggar interrupted
him with the question, "What, is he
your father and mine, too?"
eyes" the deacon replied.
"Why," exclaimed the beggar, eve
are brothers, then, amt we? Can't you
cut that slice little thicker"

TricycIing Women.

Tricycling has become a fashionable
pursuit of the young men in England,
and as the ladies never fail to follow in
the wake of fashion when set by their
admirers, the tricycle. has been adopted
by them with the greatest eagerness.
At first it was considered rather fast, :"
and looked upon with shyness, but ever
since the newspaper account of the
ride taken by her majesty and the Prin-
cess Beatrice each royal lady mounted
on her iron horse and careening
gayly on the high road and through
the green lanes around Osborn, all
scruple has vanished. It is urged that
no danger can exist, as the queen, who
is heavy, fat ole lady, was enabled to
sit her steed with as much ease and
confidence as when in former days
she used to prance so proudly on her
high mettled horse before the troops at
review. And so professors of the BIZ
cycle and tricycle. abound in London,
and the racing and chasing along the
suburban road at twilight, and the
laughing and chatting as the iron
coursers shoot by. give quite new as
pect to the solitary walks round London.

The Boy Who Gave His Note.
N. Y. School Journal.


A Boston lawyer was called on q
short time ago by boy, who inquired
if he had any waste paper to sell. The
lawyer had crisp, keen way Of asking
questions, and is, moreover, method
ical man. So pulling out large
drawer, he exhibited his stock of waste
paper.
Twill you give me two shillings for
that?"
The boy looked at the paper doubling
w moment and offered fifteen pence.
"Done," said the lawyer, and the
paper was quickly transferred to the
bag of the boy, whose eyes sparkled as
he lifted the mighty mass.
Not until it was safely slowed away
did he announce that he had no
money. To this statement the lawyer
responded
mo money How do you expect to
buy paper without money!"
Not prepared exactly to state his
plan of operations, the boy made no
reply. o.o ,,o,, .,
asked the lawyer.
''Yes, SIR"
:" ' cry well; II you consider your nOte
good, I'd Just socn have it as the
money; but if it isn't good | don't
want't it.
The boy affirmed that he considered
it good whereupon the lawyer wrote
a note for fifteen pence, which the boy
signed legibly, and, lifting the bag of
paper trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow re-
turned. and producing the money, an
nounced that he had come to pay his
note.
"Well. said the lawyer, this is the
first time that ever knew note to be
taken up the day it was given. A boy
that will do that is entitled to note and
money too :" and giving him both sent
him on his way with a smiling face
and happy heart.
The boys note represented his honor.
A boy who thus keeps his honor
bright, however poor he may be in
worldly things, is an heir to an inheri-
lance which no riches can buy-the
choice promises of God.

This plea is based upon an observa-
