The bay horse Lexlngton-the sire of
Mr.. Lorillsrd's Parole-was fosled in
1850, and frat saw tho light
upon the stud farm Of DR.. Waraeld,
by whom the dam of Lexington was also
bred. II may not be ,napposite, although
a useless warning 10 Englisbmen, to remark
that Alice Oarneal, the dam of Lexington,
never ran in public until she WAS five years
old; that Boston, his sirc, never started until
he was three, and that Lexington himsel
never faced the starter until he also was
three. In this country tho turf 10 too far
committed TO five and elk furlong handcaps,
to short-sellipg races and 10 two.yesr. old

out that tho great coursers Of tho past wore

1T is reasonable to expect unusually
hot weather this summer, aud lots OF il,
because the fall and winter wero SO severe.
At least We judge this is = reasonable expec-
tation, bocsuse Professor LOOMS says that
ifseveral months 10 succession have been
unusually warm or unusually cold, instead
fconcluding that the climate has perma.
ntly changed, tnd that the succeeding
i,nths will DO similar in character, we
hould rather anticipate months of the
opposite description, since the mean tempe.
nature of the year auctuales within very
narrow limits, and the longer period Of
unusually warm weather continues, the
greater is tho probability that the succeed,
Ing months will be unusually cold. Predic-
tons Of this kind are Legitimate deductions
from scientific data.

THE ST. Louis Globe-Democrat ia incliedn
to twi. tie Washington Post democratic
paper, for siding with President Garfield,
and says "The Washington Post, the ad-
minis!ralion organ II! the capital, having
cited the fact that President Taylor nolnna.
ted and caused to DO confirmed as collector OF
New York, Hugh Maxwell, against the pro.
tests of two senators from the state, and vice
President Fillmore,is reminded by the Wash-
ington Republican that the quarrel which
was brought about by that act resulted in the
defeat of the wing party. not only in New
York, but throughout the country" That
is all right. Ifany fight between the presi.
dent and tho senators from New York will
split the republican party and le,d to its de-
feat. In 1884, the democrats aro willing.
They will help bury the corpse of dead re-
publicaTsm, and will DO candid enough not
TO shed n tear Tho history that is cited
may repeat Itself and welcome. But then it
Is not true that this rupture led to the defea,
OF the wig party. That party WAS then
m.ribund, and after tho death of President
Taylor 1t died Of inanition, II Is true how
ever, that the two senators from New York

FROM a late number of the Austin States,
man the following item is clipped: "To
construct branch railway from the COM
pany's main line at Whitney, in Hill county,
Though the counties of Hill, johnson, Ellis,
Dallas, Kaufman, Rockdale, Vapzandt
Hunt Rains, Wood, Hopkins, Franklin,
Titus, Red River and Bowie, to point on
Red river, in Bowie county; distance of
'bout 2S5 miles Also, construct branch
Dad from point in Hopkins county,
trough the counties of Hopkins, Delta and
Lamar, near the mouth Of Doggy creek;
distance Of about 60 miles" By reference TO
map of the state it will DO seen that a
railroad cannot be run through tho counties
named from Whitney without the line
running to nearly every point of the com.
pass. 1t would be worse zigzag than a
worm fence. We doubt not tho amended
charter has been fled and that the Central
will build branch road from Whitney
through Dallas on to point on Red river in
Bowie county, but it surely will not DO as
crooked as The line marked out would be-
We are clad the Central Texas company has
determined to build this branch. 1t will
not only prove remunerative 10 tho company
but it will be advantageous to Dallas. The
fact is Dallas will yet DO made by railroads
and she will do tho fair thing and DO tho
making of tho roads in tho rich carrying
trade she will give them 10 and fro.

Treaslire CrOye

At Durkheim, says German paper, lately
in making excavations for bath house
workmen found large iron chest containing
the celebrated treasure of the Abbey of
Limburg, which, hidden during siege of the
abbey in 1904, had never since been found.
The treasure consists of large number Of
vases and other objects in gold and silver
many precious stones, coins of the fifteenth
century, and other articles, some dating
back to the eleventh century, when the
abbey WAS founded. According to the local
laws this treasure belonga one, half to the
