Pedigree OF John SplaN.


To the Turf Editor OF the Globe:
In your last Mondays issue correspon-
dent endeavors to give John Splan false
pedigree by intimating that he was sired
by Wooley horse, which is not the fact by
any manner of means. About the year
1861 large band of English Gypsies were
e2camped on piece of ground covered by
forest trees, and situated on the shore of
Lake Erie, just without the limits of the
city of Buffalo. They had in their possess
ion large number of horses and their
camp was visited daily by large numbers
of people from the adjacent city who drove
out, some for the purpose of buying or
trading with them for their stock, but the
majority of them led by curiosity to view
the habits and manners of this peculiar
people. Among them was bright appear
ing boy about twelve years of age who at
tracted the attention of the visitors
by the enthusiastic manner
in which he gazed upon and infinitely ex-
amined the many fine horses that were
driven to the camp by their owners from
the city. Prominently among these was
Mr.. John S. Stevenson, the old time livery
man and campaigner, whose fine stock,
and the manner they were hooked up, made
the boys eyes glow with pleasure. The
following spring Mr.. Stevenson had oc-
casion to drive into one of the brick yards
in the outskirts of the city, when boy,
who was engaged in driving a horse at
tached to a mill, grinding clay, ceased his
work, and proceeded to make minute in
spection of the trotter driven by MI.
Stevenson, and that gentleman. recogniz-
ing in him tie boy of the
Gypsy camp, engaged in con-
versation with him, the result of which
was in the boy going to work for Mr..
Stevenson rubbing his string of trotters,
which at that time consisted of Bay Prince
(Hartford), Belle of Saratoga, Lady Cliff
ton and others. The boy went through
the circuit traversed by Stevenson that
season, and in the fall went to work in the
private stable of the late DR.. Cary, of Buff
falo, where he remained until the spring
following, when he again went through
the circuit with Mr.. Stevenson, and in the
fall went into the employ of Mr.. W. 1.
Mills, of Buffalo, in whose private stable
he remained for about one year, he then
entering into the employ of Dan Mace as
a rubber, under whose tuition he gradu-
ated to seat in the sulky, and is now
known as the famous conditioner and
driver, John Splan. VETERAN.

HERE is a suggestion from the PkiladeI-

HERE is a suggestion from the Philadei-
phia Times which is decidedly equitable.
Secretary Teller says he won't listen to the
Chippewa Dakota Indians because he did not
tell them to come, and now the Chippewas had
better go back to Dakota and tell the white set
tiers who are lawlessly invading their reservation
that said settlers shall be scalped because the
Chippewas did rot tell them to come. Sauce
for goose is Indian sauce just the same.

Deen sacrlhclng upon your own altar that
you might rid yourself of sin, ':Beheld the
Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of
the world" come to you with this cry
l make it the keynote of all my ministry
here, be 1t long, or be it short. l would
have that cry of ''behold! behold!' follow
you everywhere, all through your life.
would have it go with you to your homes;
follow you ont into the busy days of labor.
would have it break in upon you when in
places of sin. I would have it ring out as
you stand toying with temptation. would
have it mingle with your music and with
your misery. I would have it
come to you in the night that
finds you tossing with shame and
remorse. I would have it breath its
music in your hearts, when, sad and tear
full you see the sins of your life are so
great and your one poor will and resolu-
ton, and pc -er are so small. I would
have it rise above the character of Sinai
and tell you of full and free forgiveness.
In times of JOY and moments of deep
grief, may the echoing cry come to you,
Behold! behold the Lamb of Godw Let
it ring in your ears upon your dying bed,
and let the last look of your failing eye be
invited to the cross by the same cry, be-
hold, behold. But why behold the ''Lamb
of God?" BECAUSE he taketh away the
sin of the world. Unfathomed kindness!
Astonishing love! Divine paradox of &C
ton and service! To remove that which
is against him; to pardon the deepest in
suit and injury that man can infict. To
remove the tormenting agent of all our
care, that plunges US into sorrow; to re-
move that and to forget it all in the per-
feet forgiveness he merits. 1t means
rest, and peace and strength and heaven.
We know in our deepest consciousness
that there can never be rest for us until
sin is removed. The s'Lamb
Of God" is no feeting relief,
no temporary alienation o. our woe. He
is all-sufficient, and alone can touch and
fill and satisfy the infinite pathos of human
life. The remedy is here, the Lamb of
God. The malady has struck deep; it is
deadly; it is beyond our control. The
Divine remedy removes it all, and strikes
down to the roots of the disease. It was
for this he came. Il came," said he, ''to
seek and save that which is lost" For
human guilt and sin he entered upon his
redeeming work. This Lamb was slain.
Ga him was laid the iniquities of as all.
Will youllook and turn to him? He gave
himself ransom. Will you put your case
into his hands? He is faithful and power
full to do that work. Out of the severest
test ever laid on man or angel he came
with sacrifcial cry. Neither the shrowd-
ings Of Gethsemane nor the darkness and
anguish of the cross could darken his
brow with one regretful look. So the ut
most he gave himself that he might save
you to the utmost. s'Behold the Lamb of
God that taketh away the sin of the world -
thus beholding him rise into the rest and
peace and JOY and life of redeemed soul.

lieutenant of the navy, while on the
South Atlantic station, recently, had a
commission from the manufacturers of
new rifle to try and sell a lot of them to
Dom Pedro. The lieutenant intimated
through the proper channels that he should
feel honored if the emperor would exam
inc the gun. His majesty readily granted
an audience, and the young officer went to
the palace with very fine specimen rife
which had been presented to him by the
company. The gun was exhibited and ex-
planned, and then handed to the emperor
for examination. Dom Pedro took it,
said in Portuguese that he was lawfully OBJ
iged," and notioned the chamberlain, or
some other functionary, to show the gem
tleman out. There was no help for it, and
the lieutenant backed to the doorway and
withdrew without his rifle.
Among the immigrants arriving, at
Bonaventure depot, Canada, recently,
were George Kelsey, native of the West
of England, and forty-two years of age,
and his wife, from the same part. The
twain have been married eighteen years.
Within six years they have had twelve
children, namely, triplets no less than
twice, twice doublets and twice ''singlets.''
As the parents sat in the depot surrounded
by their offspring, the youngest an infant
in arms, the eldest locking little moro than
an infant, they were the subjects of the
greatest interest, and many questions were
asked the happy mother, especially by tie
feminine portion of those in the depot
awaiting the arrival of the train. The
children were all healthy and robust, and
the father and mother might be described
as the same. The mother stated that her
little ones had known no sickness mora
than the ordinary complaints incident to
childhood.

Journalism, as all rituals Will, but
the true devotee, the pious and devout Is
raelite never for moment stopped at the
slain lamb as the ultimatum of his faith or
hope. He looked beyond it. 1t was to him
type of that better, that only effective
Offering. He saw by faith, (for he had the
promise) that the blood of the lamb be
offered, the symbol of an Offering of blood
more precious than silver or gola-a blood
speaking better things than the blood of
Abel even. He rested his hope on the great
Antitype, not in the type that lay before
him on the altar. This was the case with
all those who met the full designs of the
Old Testament dispsnsation. Yet We are
convinced that in that dispensation as in
ours, many fell short of the conditions OF
acceptance with God, for tho reason that
the divine significance of their typical
worship had dropped out of the hearts OF
men. They lost sight of the fact that il
was typical and substituted the type fol
the Antitype, and hence their sins were
not pardoned, their sacrifices not accepted
The true theology Of the Old Testament
dispensation was, 90 We have said, founded
upon the vicarious law upon the transfer
in some way, of their sins and guilt to an
innocent victim.

onne. To that point alone in constitu-
tional amendment, should attention be di-
rected now. The ridiculous proposal Of
the ambitious Mr.. Springer,
need not now to be considered. The in
creasing the tenure of the Presidential
Office, and that of congressman, is not so
important as to fix the way of electing a
President and declaring his election.
If constitutional amendment on this
vital point is not submitted to the States
for ratification at this session of congress
the election of 1884 will come on with
none of the needed safeguards provided
for. If partisan politics could be laid aside
long enough to perfect this great work, it
would be to the credit of congressman and
minister to the safety of the country and
its government.
The whole electoral college machinery
for choosing president should be abol-
ished, and the mode of his election simpli-
fed. The people should be allowed to
vote directly for president as for any othe,
official.
When this one dangerous defect is RENE.

be approached with feeling of security

contests.
This done, the tenure of the presiden-
tial Office, and of congressman, and other
important points may be duly considered
but first provide for possible danger, and
take means to avert it.

ity, but five minutes afterward his suf-
ferings are more intense than ever. He
feels as il he had swallowed living lob

the very foundation Of his existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly ap-
pear hollow and sunken, his body attsn-
mated; his color is ashy pale, and his
eyes wild, CLASSY and cannibalish. The
different parts Of the system now war
with each other. The stomach calls
upon the legs to go with it in quest of
food; the legs, from weakness, refuse.
The sixth day brings with it increased

pass in bideous procession through the
mind. The seventh day comes, bringing
increasing lassitude and further pros
tration of strength. The arms hang
lifeless, the legs drag heavily. The de-
sire for food is still left, to a degree, but
it must be brought, not sought. The
miserable remnant Of life which still
hangs to the sufferer is burden almost
too grievous to be borne; yet his inher.
ent love of existence induces a desire
still to save it. il it can be done without
a task Of bodily exertion. The mind
wanders. At one moment he thinks his
weary limbs cannot sustain him a mile;

strength and il there be certainty Of re-
lief before him, he dashes braveIy and
strongly forward, wondering whence pro-
ceeds his new and sudden impulse.

Aristotie's One Horned Animals.

In Book Ill, chapter 2, of the right
and left organs of the bodies OF animals,
Aristotle says that the horns of animals
are, in the great majority of cases, two
in number. There are, however, eIcep-
tions, he thinks, TO this rule in respect
to the horns, for there are some that have
but single horn-the dryx and the SO.
called Indian ass. In such animals the
horn Is set in the center of the head, for
az the middle belongs equally to both
extremes, this arrangement is the one
that comes nearest to each side having
its own horn. DIR. Ogle, in his note on
this passage, points out that the account
Of the Indian ass, with q solid hoof and
a single horn, was taken by Aristotle
from Ctesias, and that it has been plausi-
bly, conjectured that the Indian rhinoc-
eros (RhinOcerOs unicornis) is the ami
NAL meant; for though, he says, this
animal has three toes, they are SO indis-
tinctly separated that the real character
Of the foot might easily escape q casual
observer. At the same time he observes
that on the obelisk Of Mimroud, made
log before the time Of Ctesias, there is
Represented rhinoceros with feet dis
tinctly divided into toes. An argument
on the side OF this supposed identifica-
tion u, he adds, Furnished by the fact
that the horn Of the Indian ass was sup

When he had finished with the climate,

can't keep no teachers"
"What's the trouble?"
"N ell, take my school, for instance

HUNGARIAN IMMIGRANTs.

Among the colonization schemes which
have recently come into notice in various
parts of Europe one of unusual promise
is that devised in Hungary to promote
emigration to this country. The pro-
jectors have in mind certain available
lands in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Virginia, on which they propose to es-
tablish villages Of fifty or one hundred
farms, the soil to be sold at cost on in
stallments, and other lots in the COM
muuityto be held for a rise, to reimburse
the movers in the enterprise. Some 500
families are said to be making prepara-
tions to come over in body. They are,
in Hungary, well-settled farmers, used
to toll, and in no danger of becoming
poverty-stricken or vagrants. They are
said to be honest, liberal minded, devout
aud highly moral. Whether success will
follow the new departure depends on
variety Of circumstances, chiefly the
ability and integrity of those who have
the project in charge. But whether all
contingencies are provided for or not,
there seems to be considerable furore
for the movement in some parts of Hun
gary.

The Life q Doctor Leads.

From the London Iancet.l
We have recently allotted special
space &c .Lc notification of wills left by
medical meD. 1t must have already
struck those OF our readers who have
glanced at the figures recorded in this
weekly report, that the average value of
the property handed down by members
OF the profession to their families is
singularly small. This is, unbappily,
the fact. The general practitioner is a
Woodworking and too often a struggling
man to the end of his days. Compare.
lively few of the class are able to retire,
for rest from their labors, before the re-
lief which rest brings TO all men. Ply
sicians and surgeons, as a rule, die in the
harness. The expenses incurred by
those who make spccialities Of medicine
or surgery, or of any one branch of
either Of these departments Of proies-
sional work, are necessarily great, while
the recompense to the life of labor en-
tailed, looking at the career as a whole,
is proportionately small. Even the few
who seem to make large incomes during
part OF their career seldom amass even
moderate competencies. Some five-and-
twenty years ago calculations were made
for London and the provinces, and it
was estimated that a physician, practic-
ing as such in London, did not acquire
an income on which he would be required
to pay income tax for sixteen years from
the commencement, while physician in
the provinces reached the legal figure in
eleven years, but not earlier. The diff
ferences in favor of the provinces are, of
course, dut to the fact that no man would
think of commencing practice as pure
physician in any city or town, except the
capital, unless he had special reason to
believe their existed an "openipg."
We have no means Of knowing whether
matters have mepded with the profession
generally dSng the last quarter of
century, but looking 10 the increase of
its aggregate numbers in relation to the
popu lation, We fear there is not much
ground 10 hope that the rewards of pro-
fessional labor have been sensibly aug
mented. The laborer is worthy Of his
hire, and it is we'll now and again to look
INTO this matter of money. 1t will sooner
or later be necessary to take it into very
serious consideration IN relation to the
question of fees. Meanwhile, the lesson
to be learnt from the story of the wills
left by medical men is certainly one of
caution and thrift. 1t is sad reflection
that, speaking generally, the families of
medical practitioners are insufficiently
provided for, large proportion being
left almost in poverty.

Racine, Wis, RadIy scorshed.

About midnight on the 5th inst, fire broke
out in the Goodrich Transportation Company's
warehouse, at Racine, Wis, and impelled by a
fierce northeast gale, soon spread over a large
area OF territory. The city's small fire depart
ment was powerless to check the devastating
element, and in response to urgent calls fire
engines from Milwaukee and Chicago repaired
to the scene. The fire was finally suppressed
at O'Clock on the morning Of the 9th after
seven squares of ground were swept over and
forty-four buildings and TO- 000, 900 feet Of lum-
Der. Among the buildings destroyed were the
fine brick and iron structure occupied by the

pany, the grain elevator, Miller's large shoe
factory and Congress Hall, the latter an old

were lost.

metal stamp with the words "slcbm-
med milk" engraved thereon. All who
offer for sale or have in their possession
skinned milk not so marked, or any
adulterated milk, are liable to penalty
Of $50 for the first offense and 500 for
the second offense and all subsequent
offenses of the kind. In default of pay
ment the law imposes penalty of i'm
prisonment for not less than 10 or more
than 60 days. Similar penalties are
further imposed upon persons who shall
keep milking COWS in crowded or un-
healthy condition or feed them with food
which is calculated to produce impure,
diseased or unwholesome milk. The law
rigidly prohibits feeding the animals up
on the distillery waste usually known as
"swill," or upon any substance what
ever which is in an unwholesome condi-
ton or has an unwholesome effect. So
far as the adulteration is concerned, the
new law is very comprehensive, and de-
clares that in addition to that doctored
with the common adulterant, water, all
milk shall be classed as adulterated
which is obtained from animals fed on
swill," or other deleterious stuff, or that
has been exposed to or contaminated by
the presence of unhealthy surroundings,
or in proximity to persons or places in
fected with contagious disease. In gen.
eral, all milk found upon analysis to
contain less than II per cent. of milk
solids or more than 8S per cent of wa
terry fluid is classed as "adulterated."
For the purpose of securing proper in
spection to suppress illegal traffic by
milk dealers, the law finally provides for
the appointment of an inspector at
salary of $500 per year. This official is
empowered to open any receptacle he
may suspect to contain "skimmed" or
impure milk for the purpose of analysis.
If this shall establish its impure charac-
ter, each can containing doctored fluid is
to be emptied and its owner prosecuted.
To insure the more thorough enactment
of the law, provision is also made for the
appointment of assistants to the inspec-
tor at a salary of s. per day.
