The Baltimore Plan,

A Baltimore capitalist one day went
down into Virginia to collect the inter
est on a $500 bond which a town had
voted to build a bridge. The bond was
five years old, and no interest had ever
been paid. Seeking an interview with
the village president, he made known
his errand, but the official sadly shook
his head, and replied:
"a freshet carried off the bridge the
same year it was built"
that"
''Yes, I suppose so, but we have no
money on hand"
Cant you pay this from some other
fund ?"
1--WE haven't cent in any fund"
Cant l sell the bo1d to no one
here ?''
Nobody got any thing to buy with"
For the next four hours the man with
the bond was very busy. He attached
the old hand fire engine garnished
three or four Of the taxpayers, locked
up the village grave yard, attached the
safe in the clerks office, and when the
sun went down he had arranged for 80
many iDjuncLions that no one dared stir
abroad: The sun was hardly up next
lay before his interest was ready, and
IN less than an hour citizen purchas.
I'd the bond at o discount, exclaiming.
y shan't never get nothing on 1t,
Dut we can't have wicked sbeculators
coming here to cast reflections on Vir-
yinia's honesty"

Wedding Anniversaries

Fashion has established the custom
of celebrating certain anniversaries OF
the marriage, these being named as fol.
lows:
The celebration at the expiration Of
the first year Is called the cotton we'd

third year, the leather; at the close of
five years comes the wooden; az the
seventh anniversary, the friends assem-.
BILE at the wooden, and at ten comes
The tin. At twelve years the silk and
fine linen; at fifteen the crystal wed.
ding. AT twenty the friends gather
with their China, and at twenty-five
the couple that have been true to their
vows for quarter of century are re-
warded with silver gifts. From this
time forward the tokens of esteem be.
come rapidly more valuable. When
the thirtieth anniversary is reached
they are presented with pearls; at the
fortieth come the rubies; at the tiftieth
occurs the glorious golden wedding. Be.
yond that time the aged couple are al
lowed to enjoy their many gifts in
peace. If, however, by any possibility
they reach the seventy.fifth anniver-
sary, they are presented with the rarest |
gifts to be obtained, at the celebration
of their diamond wedding In issuing
the invitations for celebrating these an
it is customary to print

A NegrO's Prayer.

Every negro employed on the Bel
Grove plantation in Louisiana has a
little patch OF land which is his to cul.
tivate for his own use and profit. The
hands are nearly all genuine planta-
tion negroes, having been born and
reared there. They are a happy, care.
less race, and their attachment to the
place is as deep as any emotion they
are conscious of. This is part of o
prayer which one of the women who
has "taken religion" has been heard to
offer: Member the landlord of the
plantation in most particular m n.
ner, Hold him in the palm of Thy
right hand; make him such man as he
orter be; rough shod his feet with the
of divine grace; hang his
tongue on the gospel hinges. And now
Lor', when Thou done memin' him and
all roun' de world, member poor un-
Zrashus me, and hear my Unworthy
groans."

ExTRAORDINARY TROTTING.
Mr.. Works Double Team Brings
the Record Down 10 2.I63.4

The New York Sun of FRIDAY
says Turfmen and others owninl
fast horses were interested yesterday
in the unparalleled trotting of Mr..
Frank Works team, Dick Swiveller
and Edward, at the Gentlemen's s Driv.
ing Park. Every day the owners of
fast horses meet ana discuss the merits
of their stock there. The number pres.
ent was larger than usual yesterday at
about 4 o'clock, when Mr.. Works team
was logged by. Many men have pro-
tessed to doubt that his team trotted last
season II mile in harness without a
break in 2.19]5, and he was repeatedly
urged to speed them again, but refused
to do 30. Mr.. Shepherd +. Knapp yes
terday offered to wager Mr.. Work 81 =
600 that the team could not trot in 2.2O.
Mr.. Work accepted the wager and put
John Murphy behind tho team in a road
wagon. The judges were Messrs. Bush,
Morgan and Alley, and over 100 gentle.
men prepared to time the trot.
The horses were in tiptop condition
and everything was favorable for fast
time, but few men were willing to bet
that the team would trot in 220. When
everything was in readiness, Murphy
let them out, and they whizzed by the
line at rattling pace. Murphy car
ried 1881 pounds, which was over.
weight. The first quarter was made
in 33K seconds, the half in LOS, the
in 40 and the full mile
IN 2.16&, by long odds the fastest in
The world for team. Great excite
nent prevailed among the spectators,
many of them insisting that the tea n
lid better than 2.162I. Ben Mace in
sisted last night that the team trotted
n ZIG 35. A prettier Grot | never
aw," said Mr.. Mace. "They started
'venly and went through without a
freak. Nothing could nave been more
venly and cleanly done"
When the same team Urotted in 2.19L
asst season they were driven by Dan
lace, and their time was half a second
aster than that of Mr.. William III.
'anderbilt's team, William Ii. and
'ysander, made on the same course '
