LONDON, Sept. 4.---The race for the st.
Leger stakes at the Doncaster meeting was
Won by Iroquois; Geologist second and Lucy
Glitters third. The weather was dull, put
no rain. The attendance was very large.
Iroquois' victory is extremely popular, and
he and Archerwere enthusiastically cheered.
Iroquois attracted much attention by his
excellent style in the preliminary canter.
An excellent start was effected at the first
attempt. IroquOis was the quickest away,
but Archer Immediately pulled him back.
Josyan then took the lead, attended by st.

At San Francisco there was extraordinary
activity in mining stocks OIL account of the
reported discovery of a new bonanza in the
COmstock lode
The increase in business at Louisville may
possibly be ascribed to the recent railroad
arrangements, but the volume of business is
large almost everywhere, and so large that
there is no reason to doubt continuance of
general prosperity. Indeed it is feature of
these returns that there is an increase at
known centers Speculative activity is, on
the whole, less than at other points where
business is almost wholly legitimate. What
ever advance there is in the prices of stocks
has at least this basis of fact, that the busi-
ness of the country is larger in almost every
branch than ever before.

A Horrible Cargo.

New YORK, Sept 14-A special from
London says: A great sensation was caused
at Bristol by the discovery of cargo of 800
tons of human bones being discharged there
to the order of local firm engaged in man.
ufacturing. The bones were shipped from
Rodosto, at Constantinople, and are sup
posed to be the remains principally of the
defenders of Plevna. There are complete
limbs among the horrible cargo, and in some
cases the hair still adheres to the skulls
Peter Cooper says: "It is a common thing
among the British to buy human bones. In
fact they will take all they can get at any
time and from any part of the world. They
use them for mannring their lands. l have
often heard it said that England was ma
nured with bones taken from the battlefield
at Waterloo. There is no finer to be had.

The Business of the Country Large in All
It's Branches.


New YORK, Sept. 14.-From the Public:
Exchanges last week were materially disturb
ed by the unusual day of fasting and prayer
on account of the President. In this and some
other States the week embraces only five
days of business, although exchanges as
respects the payments made on drafts and
checks by mail were nearly the same as if
the banks had been open six days. In some
States exchanges were closed Thursday, as
in New York, and in other States Tuesday,
and considerable difference results in the
comparative amount of payments made
during the week. Hence the exchanges can
not be regarded of unusual significance,
and the increase shown only proves if the
volume of business had during the week
had been uninterrupted it would have been
still more largely in excess of the business
done in the corresponding week last year.
For the week ending September at San
Francisco, and Septamber 10 at other cities,
exchanges were:

Husbands, my dear ladies'. can be coaxed

Husbands my dear ladies. can be coaxed
to do almost anything; but it will not do to
driv them. If the wife ls fond of her own
way, the husband is tolerably certain to be
similarly inclined, and mutual misery is
the result. There should be but one will
with married couple who are truly mated,
and that should be the will of-both. To
those who know the sweet authority of love,
this will not seem like paradox. We have
known couples-not so many as We could
wish-both of whom could truthfully saw,
after dozen or twenty years walking of
the long path together, that they had had
their own way, because the necessary
mutual yielding had been done so
cheerfully and so wholly that but
the one way remained. The worst of
husbands-provided ne is not dissipated, of
course-can be mahaged if you, his wife, can
keep him in love with you. When that can
be done all the rest follows. How it can be
done We do not know; you ought to, if you
know what he loved you for in the first
place. Wedo not mean simply faithful, and
provident and kind, but genuinely loving
few mortals can withstand the power of
faithful, loving devotion.-Exchange.

LITTLE Rock, Sept. IA duel was fought
yesterday morning at sunrise at Terrene,
Miss, between Hon. Leland Leatherman,
Mayor of Arkansas City, and
James Rucker, aocprominent attor-
ney of the same city. The difficulty
grew out of certain rulings made by Leath-
erman in a case in which Rucker was pro-
fessionally engaged. Both combatants were
wounded at the first fire. Leatherman re-
ceived slight flesh wound in the arm
Rucker was struck in the left side, inficting

Springfield, O.-The "mixed school,
or give US equal facilities" question Is now
that which agitates the minds of our citi-
zens SO greatly at the present that it has
been found necessary to issue the call for a
citizens meeting, which fact your corre-
spondent gave in last weeks letter, with
the promise that you should hear more
anon. In accordance to the desire to fulfill
that promise to the benefit of the readers of
the Leader, we resorted last Wednesday
evening to the scene of action, laid at North
street A. Nj. +. Church, where an opportu-
nifty was to be given to all who desired to
ventilate their ideas freely and give honest
expression of their sentiments in regard to
the school question. Upon our arrival we
found an assemblage of about 125, consti-
tuting mainly the rank and file of the brain
and culture of this city, presided over by
Mr.. Frank Dent, and b. w. Chinn acting as
Secretary. Though we were late in getting
there we CLEANED from the short talks that
were given that the object really was to
take into consideration ways and means by
which equal facilities with White children in
our public schools can be secured to the col
ored pupils OF our city. 1t was stated that
there was colored population of 1000
having between 800 and 400 children OF
school age, and yet the facilities were un-
equal, and that above certain age, colored
pupils had to travel from thirteen TO
eighteen squares, passing three fine build
ings in all kinds of weather, to reach theII
scnool. Mr.. Geo. Reynolds and Rev j. w.
Gazzaway were the principal takers, as il
was their children who had been refused
admission to the white schools, but they
did not wish the citizens to entertain the
idea that this meeting was intended to be
an indignation meeting but really they had
called it with view to bringing test case
in the Courts by mandamus suit. Mr.. Geo
Reynolds then presented paper signed by
twelve members of the School Board, both
Democrats and Republicans, reading as fol
lows: "We, the undersigned members of the
School Board of the city of Springfield, be
lieving that the colored children in tht
northwestern portion of the city have mo-
equal school facilities with the white chill
dren in that part of the city, are in favor o

Once in lifetime you meet man
who will admit that he doesn't know
all about horse, but he may come
round next day and claim to have been
temporarily insane when he made the
admission. As a rule. every man knows
what ails horse, whether anything
ails him or not, and can point out
dozen instances where nature could
have improved on her work, no matter
how well she did it.
Yesterday a horse which had been
looked ever by the Fire Department
and rejected on account of his size, was
tied to post on Griswold street. He
was as sound as dollar, not even
showing wind puff Pretty soon
along came two lawyers, and one of
them remarked:
'Pity such nice animal as that is
foundered."
Eyes, can see he is wind-broken
to boot, was the ready response.
Then the cashier of the bank halted
and took a look at the horses teeth.
He was going away, when a mail-car-
rier asked:
"How old do you call him.
"Some men might buy him for IL,
but they couldn't fool me. That horse
will never see lG again.
The best judges had called him six,
and his owner had proofs that he was
not a month older. The mal.carrier
felt of the animals ribs, rubbed his
spine, and observed:
Hes got the bots, or I'm no judge
of horses.
Then merchant halted and surveyed
the horses legs, lifted his front feet,
pinehed its knee, and feelingly said:
''Been a pretty good stopper in his
day, but he's gone to the cows now"
The next man was book keeper. 1t
took him about five minutes to make
up his mind that sweeny was the lead.
ing ailment, although pollevil, heaves
and glanders were present in bad
form.
"What is sweeny:" queried an inno-
cent boot black who had made up his
mind that the horse had liver COM
plant.
"Sweeny?" repeated the book keep
er, ''look at the way he carries his tail,
and then learn what sweeny is.
''Oh, no. replied another, "sweeny
affects the eyes.
81 guess not, +" said an insurance man;
81 guess sweeny affects the lungs"
Lungs" cried broker, you mean
the stomach!''
And they were iangling about it
when the owner of the horse came out
and led him away.
