Profits Of the Turf.

Outsiders will gaze with longing and
melancholy eyes at the, catalogue OF
profits earned during the past season by
the giants of the turf The G16, ,061 net
ted by Lord Falmouth during d twelve
months campaign must represent very
satisfactory dividend; but, large as it is,
it is considerably below his average for
the last six years. During that period
Lord Falmouth's total winnings in stakes
amounted to E142, 500, His worst year
was in 1876 when he only won 81, ,060;
his best was 1873, when his winnings
rose rs high as g37, ,681. Count de
Lagrange, who sat at the top of the tree
in 1879 with e25, ,661, has to content
himself in 1880 with only 96, 722. A
still more marked reverse of fortune has
waited on the Duke of Hamilton and Mr..
Houldsworth. Both finished 1879 with
upward of 10000 to their credit In
1880 the Duke of Hamilton's winnings
have sunk as low as .e474, while MIR.
Houldsworth has only won solitary
event worth G122. These are known re-
turns. The profits and the losses of
betting remain an unknown quantity.

An Ine,aens OF crue,,x.

A convict in the Southern Indiana Peniten-
tiary, at Jacksonville, was found dead in his
cell. His name was Charles O'Neil. He wac
one OF the party of six who attempted to escape
by scaling the prison walls in December last,
and was in solitary confinement in punishment
for his attempt, and also to cure him Of what
the prison authorities call soldering that u.s.
not being willing to work. He complained
greatly of illness, saying he was unable to work.
The prison officials believed be was only making
pretense, and he was placed in a cell from which
the bedding was removed. His arms were then
drawn through the gratings of the cell door
and handcuffed on the outside. In this posi-
ton he was compelled to stand from q. m. to
IL M, and from to p. m. Then he was re-
leased and compelled to spend the night on the
naked floor. OF course the punishment killed
him, for the poor wretch was positively i'll and
unable to work. The Coroner held an inquest,
and post norte'n revealed the fact that O'Neil
was suffering from heart disease, and one Of
his lungs was found to be utterly congested
There was, therefore, no "playing or in his

lowing Democrats voted in the negative: Ack-
len, Converse, Culbertson, Hurd, Slemons and

out success, the two-thirds vote required under

ing.

the just generosity Of the bill, and Mr.. Turner,
Of Kentucky, asserted that there were 1900
miles Of water way in his State and yet pitt

ment Of those water ways seemed begrudged.

The speaker was a hard-visaged man,
dressed with an elegance that ilLaccorded
with his evident want of culture. She
who addressed him as 'papa" was fair
haired girl of eighteen summers. Reared
on the knee of luxury, she had never
known what it was to have her slightest
wish thwarted. Her father, plumber,
was, from the nature of his business, q
man of iron will, but he was not devoid
Of pity or generosity, as many debtor
whose house and lot he had taken in part
payment of fixing the water pipes, letting
the balance of the account run along for
two months, could testify. He had sur
rounded Cecil, his only child, with all
that wealth could purchase, looking for
ward to the time when she would marry
the eldest son of Niagara Falls hack
man, or some person of fortune commen-
surate with her own. But she had al
lowed her heart to be epsnared by the
wiles of Cupid, and that morning had
asked her sire's consent to her marriage
with poor but not proud young man
whose agricultural operations on the
Board of Trade had not been attended
with success. 1t was this request that
produced the answer given above.
Again Cecil pleaded with her parent
not to crush the love that blossomed in
her heart. The old mans mind went
back to the happy days when he told her
mother OF his love, and how they COM
menced life with nothing but strong arms
and willing hearts. Placing his tan-like
hand on Cecirs shoulder, the old man
looked at her tenderly and said:
Look ye, my lass. You say you love
tins man, and cannot live without him.
Mebbe not. Ihave promised you seal
skin sacque this winter Let us test
your love. If you become this mans
bride I shall not buy the sacque. In my
hand is q check for $500. In the wheat
pit over on the Board of Trade is your
lover; which do you choose?'' -

out convulsively for the check. Chicago

A s,ns.I.r Lot or rneId.as..

A most singular and mysterious death has
lust occurred at Tateville, little village south
Of Somerset, Ky. One Of the principals in tho
strange AFFAIR Is James Barnett, who going
home, ate q hearty dinner and went out into
the yard to chop wood. A few moments after
he went In the house and told his wife to call
in his friends, that he "would be dead man
within an hour" She started ont and got o
lot Of friends, and when they came In he was
dead. A short time after son-in-law Of the
man came and ate ut the same table, and be-
coming deathly sick, threw up his dinner. A
dog eat the yomit and died in five minutes, but
the strange part Of the business is TO come:
When Barnett was laid out on the cooling
board, large, strange cat came into the room,
and A. soon ~ he caught sight Of the dead
man, turned over on his head, and continued
standing in that position. Hewas kicked aside,
but would fall on his head. Becoming trouble
some he was killed, but when caught a strange
gurgling was heard In his throat, like that OF a
strangled man. No clue to the death Of Bar
nett has been found, but the people say that
his wife threatened to kill her husband.
