Lady Thorne = ghostly mile in the
gray OF the morning, and only two
others, John T.. )0ty and William
II. saunders, timed the mare. In
regard to this trial her driver said:
ii never saw Lady Th0rne trot 4
full mile ut her best but once. and
there are two other men living l,e-
sides myself who can tell how fast
tia; was, but I shall never tell. and
il Is prol,ajlc that they will not. It
WA, 50 fast that 1t would not be cred.
lied Ivy the public, and 20 we agreed
that we would never mentiOn the
time. i:ut will say this much: II
Wa faster gait for the whole mile
;I,aE ever ! saw kept up by any other
E"r-r for \ single quarter" For .
round dozen of years did Dan Mace
maintain his determination to "never
t,l!." but in an uDguarled moment
short time ago out popped the se.
"rt. On the sn,.asiOn to which We
refer Dan had become much inter.
c.te,l in conversation with q gentle
man about TINT year, 1870, when
Lady ThOrnc was to meet Goldsmith
Maid ut Buffalo. She had beaten
the Maid whenever they had con-
tended on eastern tracks, but the
Iar': of the little buy mare were
quite confident OF u victory Mt Buf-
i:,i". Dan. after the trial referred to,
f,!: a!un.,an: confidence himself, and
hr related On this recent Os,casiOn
how 'ic n.c! Mr.. smith, the Owuer Of
t:i" Maid, and told him lie would
Ma: her.
"l:u,,' said air. Smith, 1--WE can
..M thee heats better than !:,::..n.''
$50 can l." said Dan.
We can trot three heats better
than :3s:lS.'
$50 can T." said Dan.
We can tr"t three heats in 2:l6."
~" can J." said Dan.
The gentleman {" whom Mace re-
lated the foregoing conversation Gus
aally asked, "Why. Dan. how fast
iii! you ever drive ThOrnc::'
Dan impuls;vsly replied: ~ drove
her mile just rs fast ~ mile was
s:.r trotted in public, and the last
i.a!f in 1:ll5."
The secret Of decade was nOw
more fully out. Lady ThOrnc trot-
t.d trial in 1870 in ..:l0,, last balf
in l:01, timed by two Of ti,e most ex-
:,crienccd men on the turf, 10th still
in the flesh, and driven by u man
who now lacks only two years Of his

Popular 1erors Concerning Tur.
key.

Al the last meeting of the Paris
Geographical Society NJ. Jules Hem
rtet, chief engineer rf roads and
bridges In the Ottoman Empire,
undertook to correct cer;a ain errors
with respect to Turkey. He object
Cd, in the first place, to Turkey being
called Turkey and t. its inhabitants
being called Turks. These are al,-
pellAtiOns unknown in the country
Itself. The people are the Osmanlis,
and the empire is the Empire Of the
Osmanlis. The Osmanlis do not
understand us wien weypeak Of Tur-
key In Europe, or Turkey In Asia,
and when they open . Western xeo.
graphical work they are puzzled by
cur lern,inOlogy. TO them European
Turkey is COuinelia and Asiatic Tur-
key h Anat0lia. Few people perhaps
will be surprised to learn from II.
Henriet that anybody can be q ,payhs.
The title Is purely an honorary Que,
with which . police officer may be
dubbed. while man may be . Cab
inct Minister and have NO other title
than that Of EfIe,sdi. We are wrong
when we sreak Of the Grand Turk
or the Grand Visier, these uppella-
tions having completely gone out Of
usage, An assertion that the Mus
suln'an lin Turkey, is no longer fan
Atical, aud that the women in Turkey
now enjoy rs muc', f.eetlom Us their
European sisters, may excite SOME
hut We can only rejoice
ut such testimony to the progress vi
Western ideas. Many FreMchmen
will feel flattered and encouraged l.y
n. Henric,'s . statement that TIE On
msnlis are practically French
nation, the French Ian-
glage, according to him, being the
language most commonly used
til roughout the empire. French lit
erature Is imported en- n.asse. But
alas We must conclude that even In
Turkey the Frehch nation is not
seen at its hest, as the French books
read there are almost exclusively
works 0f the naturalist school.
For the services and worthy pro-
ductiOns OF French genius and cul-
ture there il no demand, while the
Of NJ. XUla aud his di.ci.
pies are read wit avisiity.-.Maa-
