We have all seen doctors pu,

A man by the name of Campbell, from
Corsicana, visited the Long Branch, a
house of i'll repute in East Dahas, Sunday
and one of the cyprians of the place made
Il slcight. of hand play and got away with g
handsome gold watch for him. Hel

arreTed by Officer Searne, when
she went with kim TO millinery store on
Elm street, where she had pawned it with
a dress-maker for some work she was hay

the impression that if she returned the
stolen watch that all would be satisfactory
and the officer humored her in the belief
She was surprised when he began to talk ia
her about giving bond, but she was equal
to the emergency, and asking, permission
to step into her room ostenslbly to change
her clothes, she jumped out of the window
and sloped, while the officer waited Tor at
least half an hour for her to come out.

pEnN AND rENNsrLvANrA

The more prominent cities Of the Key
stone state have been honoring PENN's
memory by bi-centennial exhibitions. 30
far as the reports Of these celebrations 20
they have all been OF an exceedingly crec-
liable character and in keeping, both with
the greatness OF the cities in which they
occurred and the importance Of the event
celebrated. II is mistake to assert that
republics do not cherish the memory Of
their mustrious men. The old republics
did IL, and 80 with the modern. We may
have no Westminster Abbeys, but the
recollection OF distinguished services
in behalf Of the state lives
aiwars and meets On proper oc-
casions with the recognition due TO such
names and such characters. From a two
told view, therefore, these DEMONSTRATIONS
in Pennsylvania 20 the memory Of fEss
are both just and instructive. There IS,
perhaps. no Commonwealth now in the

The Nnvemher Races.

The races commence on the 9TH of Novem-
Der and continue, five days. Some of the
fastest flyers in the land are here, and an
interesting meeting is anticipated. The
stables here all pretty well filled, yet there
is room for more. The track has been put
in first-class condition, and if fair weather
favors the meeting it will be grand sue
cess. The Galveston Print contains the
following racenote
"Mr. Il. e. Seixas yesterday sold and
shipped TO G. II. Cooper, Of Dallas, his
beautiful young stallion, Amour 81,

his purchase, and Dallas adds another fine
horse to her already large collection, and
Galveston loses one Of the handsonest
horses ever on her streets. He was sired
by Seixas' Morgan was raised here, and
is quite speedy. No doubt he will in time
distinguish himself on the turf, as be goes
in training after season in the stud"

The grand jury having finished their

MANS FUTURE IN AMERICA.

The views of great scientist like Mr..
HERBERT SPENCER are always interesting on
any subject, but they are particularly so
with reference to the character of man in
the future in America. This is q matter
about which many good people have suf-
fered themselves to grow foolishly uneasy
and respondent, but to all such the ma
tured reflections of man like SPENCER,
the deliberate conclusions based on ex-
tended observation and wise weighing OF
many conflicting facts must be especially
reassuring. In short editorial in New
York journal of recent issue, his views are
commented on as follows and it appears
therefrom that the man of the future with
us will be pretty fine specimen after all.
Our exchange says "MR. HERBERT SPEN-
GER is reluctant to express anything more
than general conclusions as to the future OF
the United States, with whose. social phe-
nomena the world has never seen anything
at all comparable but lie gives a positive
opinion as to the result of the progressive
interpretations of vast bodies of inn
migrants Of various bloods which has
never occurred on SUCH scale be-
forc.' From biological truths he infers
that the eventual mixture Of the allied
varieties of the Aryan race forming our
population will produce more powerful
type of man than has hitherto existed, and
type of man more plastic, more adapta-
ble more capable Of undergoing the
notifications needful for complete social
life There have been many attempts to
prove thot race Of giants inhabited the
earLa in the age of mammoth beasts, but
Mr.. SPENCER evidently believes that the
race is not in its decline, although he re-
Gently expressed the opinion that the in
crease of civilization is not favorable to the
increase of population. There has been
some doubt as TO the result Of the mixture
of the blood of all nations upon our soil,
but Mr.. sPENcER's opinion is encouraging.
We have here representatives OF the human
family from almost every part of Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australasia, South America
and the islands of the sea, and it is from
this conglomerate mass that Mr. SPENCER
expects to see the race of giants evolved,
to produce a civilization grander than any
the world has known"

1t is whispered here in political circles
that Hubbell has notified the republicans
Of Texas that he cannot spare them any
funds to fool away here, as he is saving his
pile for the Pennsylvania election. This
may account for the following, which fell
into the hands of a HERALD reporter yes
terday, which looks very much like the
party were depending on themselves. The
circular speaks for itself:
DALLAS, TEXAS, October 90, 19S2-DEAT

chairman of the republican state central
executive committee, to assess and collect
from all Federal officers in this district one

lw6 hundred yeam ago met nothing bit
sayages and found nothing butawlldefness'
Such facts as those were lsafn,d In primary
history long, long ago. The contrast Ia, In
deed grand enough 10 and attractive
for comment and unlimited rtllec-
ton but neither are necessary. What At
tehtion ought 10 be called 10, and what the
country ought toremember, Is The fact that
all this happy change, all this tremendous
progress all THIS growth from barbarism into
the higher types Of civilization Is the out
come of an idea, the legitimate work Of one
mans brain. IL Is but an illustration oil
the powerful effect that one man, whose
head and heart are right, can exert In his
day and generation. Much must be
attributed, of course, TO the correct
ness of the principles advocated
and their harmony with the dawn
ing tolerance and enlightenment
of the time, but much, Of course, is due to
the great, just character of the man him
self. England's colonies planted in PENIS
day IN other quarters of the world, but
with no peaceful hand and wise heart to
mould properly their early beginnings
have had varying fortunes, have seen much
blood and met with many disasters, but
this founding Of the Quakers, this com
munity planted in the American wilder
ness among the Indians, has known moth
| ing in its record but an uninterrupted
growth, and is now among the happiesi
and most influential and rich of the differ
cnt civilized nations of the globe. 1t is
truly beautiful and in every sense at
tractive picture that the people
who are the decendents OF oul
early pioneers can look upon in Phila
dephia, Chester, Harrisburg, PittsburG
and other great and flourishing towns that
have been vieing with each other in the
| last few days in paying honors to the
memory of WILLIAM PENN. 1t ought, as il
will, no doubt, bring again forcibly to the
public's mind the necessity for cherishini
the names and fame of our heroes and par
ticularly impress us with the fact that the
grandest of heroes, the truest Denefactors
of a country, the men whose influence lives
longest and extends the widest, are those
whose victories are won in peace, and the
workmanship of whose hands is greater
sum of human happiness and not red
record of war and conquest by violence

The Race Track .

Pleasures and sorrows, ups and down
are familiar adages TO all our readers-and
us reporters are no exception 10 the rule;
in our various duties none has afforded us
more real pleasure than what befel us this

owners; gazed with an attentive eye on the
many thorough. breds in their exercises and
work, developing their muscles and speed
for the great trials now so near at hand.
Certainly il is duty we owe our readers to
avail themselves OF the opportunity now
afforded them-for an hour or two could
not be more pleasantly passcd-say from
about TO 10 in the morning.
The track Is in rrs. very ,h nns oOn Sns

heavy rains Of late doing great deal Of
damage. Fully.fOrty horses are now there in
