A GRAND STEEPLE CHASE.

As if there were not sufficient excitement
at the usual horse-race, these meetings on
the turf nearly always close with grand
steeple chase. This kind of race combines
all the excitement of the regular race, with
the super-added element of danger which
seems to give further Zest to the sport
Horses, and good ones az that, often receive
severe injuries, which render them praeti-
cally useless for long periods. At least
this was the state of affairs until owners
and breeders of fine stock began to freely
use ST. JACOBS On, the Great German
Remedy for man and beast This invalu-
able article to horsemen has so grown into
favor on account of its phenomenal efficacy
in diseases of domestic animals, especially
the horse, that it would be difficult indeed
10 discover a horsemen unacquainted with
its magical potency. The Philadelphia

Of the disagreement between the Presi-

Easy Hour, in a recent issue says: "But
one of the most important Developments
concerning ST. JACOBS On is the discovery
that it has properties which are beneficial
to the animal as well as to the human
species. 1t has, of late, been in active de-
mand among livery men and Others for use
on horses suffering from sprains or abra-
sions. The most prominent instance known
of in this connection, is that related by Mr..
David Walton, well-known Friend, who
keeps a livery stable at 1915 North Twelfth
street. Mr.. Walton states that he was
boarding a valuable horse belonging to
Benjamin McClurg, also resident of
North Twelfth street. A few weeks ago
the animal slipped and badly sprained his
eg, making him very lame. Mr.. Walton
used two bottles of ST.. JACOBS on on the
animal and found within less than one
week, that there was no need for any more,
for the animal was as well as ever

Royed with him in consequence Of his
having engaged to write for another

the question. Rossini however was
bound to set it to music, and,
in default Of doing so, would have been
required to pay damages. In this diff
Guilty he resolved at once to fulfill his
engagement, and to take his revenge
upon the manager by setting the absurd
libretto to music which transcribed it in
absurdity. His score was, as one Of the
biographies describes it, .'ludicrous,
grotesque. e~xtravagant to the degree of
c~aricature." The bass had TO sing at
the top of his voice. and only the very
lowest notes of the prima donna were
called into requisition. One singer,
whose appearance was always the sig
nal for laughter, had to deliver a fine
drawn sentimental melody. Another
artist, who could not sing ut all, had \
rcry difficult air assigned to him, which,
that mono of his faults might pass I'M
perceived, was accompanied pidnissim0
by a ptzzicdtO of violins.

European civilization, although that
civilization has boon Of q rude kind,

houses and the art of irrigating the arid
fields, while the latter in return gave to
Indians their language and religion;

Examination it was found that it weigh
