friend, John M. Clay, has been a turfman all
his life. Some five or six years since he con-
cluGed that the time had arrived when it was
his duty to become a member of the church.
The reply that he got from the pastor was
that he must give up his race horses. He
would then talk to him on the subject. Mr..
Clay then asked him if his neighbor, who
handled a large stable of trotting horses, had
not recently become a member of his church
His answer was Yes, but his horses are
trotting horses ; yours, Mr.. Clay, are a race
horses we have no objection to trotting
horses in our church. Then said Mr..
Clay, L understand you to be Of the opinion
that your members can trot but can not run
into heaven So Mr.. Clay retired and joined
the Catholic church" Gen. Buford's posi-
ton has been assailed by the Apostolic
Times, and he replies in a card, concluding
as follows: "My earthly career is rawing
rapidly to a close, and my great aim now is
to win the race for eternal life and, as you
have before said, if I can pass through the
pearly gates Of heaven in a chariot drawn by
Enquirer and McWhirter 1.-TWO Of his race
horses), I would shout with great joy, and
would be far in advance of you, Mr.. Editor,
should your chariot be drawn by a pair of
mustang ponies"

A Railroad That Must be Built.
Bismarck Tribune.

Bismarck Tribune.
It seems to be the purpose of the com
! pany which controls the railroad that is
beading for the Mouse river region, to make
it a Pacific road. This road strikes out from
Grand Forks, D. T., straight for Willard, in
the valley of the Mouse, up that great valley
Of pasture and agricultural lands, tapping
the river at Buford, to the renowned Milk
River country, the last resort of the buffalo
and hostile red. Across that region it will
take its course to the foot of the Bear Paw
mountains, and on to Fort Benton, at the
head OF navigation on the upper Missouri
river. A Montana correspondent says that
the owners of this road are the same men
who have the magnificent contract for con-
structing the Canadian Pacific, out Of which
they are making millions of money. When
they once get the Canadian Pacific in good
shape for early competition, they will turn
their attention to their own road, which thew
have the means, ability and disposition to
push through as fast as money and muscle
will build it. This company is called the st.
Paul & Manitoba, and is now known
throughout the land as one of the strongest
and most energetic corporations in the land.
Their line is midway between the Canadian
Pacific and the North Pacific, and through a
country that presents scarcely an obs acle
until the eastern base of the Rocky noun
tains is reached-the grandest pasture and
agricultural lands on the continents success
sion of valleys and plateaus capable of high
cultivation, and destined to be covered by a
dense population in the near future. Early
emigrants went that route from Minnesota
to Montana with their OK and horse teams.
via Benton to the mines at Helena and Vir-
ginia City, and many of them who still live
will bear testimony to the truth Of the fore
going statement regarding the country. In
order to make Bismarck the boom center in
1883, the Mouse river road should be pushed
to Willard in time to meet the new
Pacific road from Grand Forks at that point.
This would give Bismarck shorter connec-
ton with the Manitoba system of railroads
than it now has. 1t would render Bismarck
he supply point for the Mouse river country,
within five years will boast a popula-
ton that will be numbered by the thousands.
completion of our Bismarck, Mouse
River, Turtle Mountain and Manitoba rail /
road would supply q cross link, uniting
he four Nolth Pacific roads and making
q cen'er, giving her a Pacific and
outlet by four of the great trans
continental iron highways. She is now in
connection with the Union Pacific by way of
the Usah & Northern and the North Pacific.
The proposed road would connect here with
the st. Paul Sc Manitoba, now building west
from Grand Forks, and the Canadian Pacific.

Queen Victoria.

Victoria, by the grace of God Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, Empress of India and Defender of the Faith, is to day 63 years old. She was born at Kensington Palace, May "A, 1919, and was crowned in June, 1858, the throne of Hanover going by the Salic law to her uncle, the Duke of Cumberland. Her reign has been one of peace and prosperity unpar
 alleled in the annals of the English nation. The Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny are the only lurid pages in the history of her times, while the repeal of the corn law, the reform bill of 1866, the disestablish ment of the Irish Church and the abolition of religious tests at the Universities mark the progress which has been made since she ascended the throne. The Queen has taken little part in public life since the death of the Prince Consort. She IS beloved by the whole people, and her private life, despite the fact that she is austerely aristoc-atic and very mean in money matters, has endear- ed her to those who know her best. There is not one of the monarchs who were reigning when Victoria was crowned living to day. She has sur vived all of her contemporaries, and the time is at hand when she, too, must retire from the stage snG give place to her son. Her reign has proved the truth of the saying that England is q yelled Republic, and surely it will not be many years be- fore that veil is entirely withdrawn. St. Louis Post Dispatch, May 24.

A Quick Ocean Trip.

The William & Guion steamship Alaska, Capt. Murry, which sailed from Queentown at 52 minutes past II o'clock on May l4, arrived of Sandy Hook yesterday morning at 40 minutes past II o'clock. The actual time of her passage was days 1 hours and 10 minutes, the fastest voyage ever made to the west. The best previous record of the Alaska westward was completed April Is, 1882, and was ' days 6 hours and IS minutes. She eclipsed this record by } hours and s minutes yesterday. The best time made by the Alaska in an eastward voyage IS ' days and 26 minutes, this is the best time re corded between Queenstown and Sandy Hook The next best time was made yesterday. Her daily runs were as follows; 42S miles, 40S miles, 4l9 miles, 403 miles, 423 miles, 40 miles. Up to 40 minutes past 1 l yesterday morning she made 3Sl miles. The total number of miles traveied IS 2,SI2, at the average speed of about 40 miles q day, or q little over IF miles an hour, The purser of the Alaska says she might have made the passage in less time had it not been for the prevalence of heavy fog off shore yesterday morning. She was detained nearly 2 hours making soundings. The weather during the voyage was fair, and the vessel followed an extreme southerly course. Her first day s re cord of 42S miles, after leaving Queenstown, surpasses any previous day record she has ever made, east, ward or westward.
 The officers of the Alaska express no surprise at her extraordinary per formanee. They are even willing to wager a modest amount that her next westward trip will be six hours shorter than her latest. New York Sun, 22d.

The Guiteau Case.

The decision of the District Court in banc, in the matter of Guiteau, ends this cause celebre and nothing now remains to be done except to hang the assassin. The latter, It is said, strongly objects to the quiet and private manner in which this little affair is to be arranged, and in sists that the entire American people have a right to be present and to witness this great national execu- ton, instead of his audience being 1 limited, as is announced, to & few dozen spectators. It is this privacy that is preying on Guiteau's mind the lack of ceremonies, the impossi bility of his figuring like Charles I. or some other martyr, the impossi- bility of delivering an oration.
 During the first few days of the trial everything was lovely for the prisoner. He had an opportunity to make any number of speeches to q large and appreciative audience; bouquets were pressed on him; his autographs and photographs, indeed any memento of him, were begged for, while the press of the country echoed his fame throughout the land. Look on that picture and then on thls." How changed is the situation today! He sits alone in his cell with no one by but his guard, "the death watch" near him. The door is closed to visitors; interviewers are warned away; he can see no one.
 Nor is there any better prospect ahead, not even on that awful June 30, There will be no band then to accompany him to the gallows with "the dead march of Saul" no funeral procession, no flowers, not even an audience. He is. going to be hung like any other criminal, not even given the privilege of many negro brother murderer, of telling his hear CTS "all about de angels and how "he's going right straight up to heb ben" No wonder that, like dis. consolate and caged hyena, he paces uP oiiA N'OW lIUh tCii NlVu imprecations against his jailer-im- precatlons alas which are not pub lished in the newspapers.
 Guiteau's lawyers might have per suaded his jury that there was ma ma in the family, if the law recog- nized cgotisticsl mania as good excuse for crime Unfortunately since the days of Erostratus it has held otherwise, and those men who have committed crimes for the pur- poses of securing notoriety have gen erally paid high for them--if the life of such worthless wretch as Gui teau can be called a high price for the oifense he committed against the country,-New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat.
