Jockey club grounds yesterday, making an
aggregate of over 200 horses at the track,
with forty more to come from Tennessee and
the surrounding country this week. New
contracts for stabling were let out by the club
to-day, and over 100 horses will be assembled
at tie track before the great spring
meet begins. The club, when the new
stables are completed, will have more than
fifty box stalls and already have in use over
fifty stalls of the fair association adjoining
the Jockey club. Excursions and special
trains have been arranged to run from st.
Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Lex
ington and Nashville, while steamboat lines
will, bring thousands or special excursion
days. The steeple chase course is now com.
pleted and is said to be the handsomest IN
America. Large crowds daily throng the
grounds, Luke Black burn, Hindoo and

side in concluding his remarks said: twill

this house to the principles and de ais of the
tariff of 1S48, and will go to the country On
that issue, and have no doubG we shall have
the support of the people,"
Morrison Ill.). member Of the committee
on ways and means. opposed the pending bill,
because he believed. If it became law, it
would support the general principles OF the
existing tariff. If the proposed commission
reported plan which would reduce duties to
any extent it would find its cemetery in the
ways and means committee room and would
never be submitted. Reduction Of tariff for
revenue purposes would benefit manufacturers
to the extent that it eheapened the cost of
material; and the laborer TO the extent that it
cheapened the nscessaries of life, while the i'm
porter must pay more in duty on imported
goods than the manufacturer paid for labor in
making domestic goods He then proceeded
to make an elaborate argument in opposition
to i tariff for revenue and to show that, while
distributing its favors to few, 1t increased
the cost of living to many.

Early Maturity and the Teeth,

A young breeder asks whether animals
that are said to mature early show this
maturity in the teeth rs we'll % in pre-
cocious growth of the body &c that age,
or whether they still require the ordi-
nary time to perfect the teeth. In cases
of real early maturity, the teeth are as far
advanced as other Indications of ripe
ness. DIR. Martin. of Kentucky, an in
telligent breeder, made careful observa-
tions upon this point in his own herd,
as well as among those of his neighbors.
many years ago, and found that tho
best Short-horns had perfect teeth. or u
full mouth, at three years old. while
native cattle in the same region did not
show the same maturity OF teeth till five
years old.
There were many objections to DR.
MarGin's conclusions, and some doubts
expressed as to the accuracy of his OBJ
servations Mt the time. but they have been
fully corroborated by many observers
since.
Several years ago, the London Agri-
cultural Gazette had series of illustra-
tions of the teeth of certain cattle, with
the actual age stated, and remarked:
"The permanent dentition is often COM
pleted in bulls of the most advanced
type at three years of age, instead of
five or six years, according to the old
standard" This effect of early matur-
ity applies to all our domestic animals
used as food. Some English butchers
have declared that their most particular
customers preferred the meat of those
earliest maturcd. This also reyerses
the strongly-expressed opinion that the
highest quality of beef requires four
years to mature. 1t is not probable that
many animals, reared expressly for
meat, will be kept beyond 81 months, a
few years Unconstitutional Live- Stock

Marry a Gentleman.

Not few complain of the miseries OF
married life. They forget that they en-
joy as much happiness as their natures
would have procured in any other con-
dition. Even ambition cannot jump a
man over his limitations. The married
life is one in which both husband and
wife should heed this maxim: "Happi-
ness grows ut our own tireside, and is
not to be pickedin strangers gardens"
II they don't, they will be apt to see the
point of the following humorous stanza:
my dear, what makes you always yawn2'
The wife exclaimed, her temper gone,
.ls home SO dull and drearyT'
mot so. my love-" he said. Not so;
But man and wife are one, yom know;
And when alone I'm weary!
A writer in Woman at Work advises
girls. If they would be happy in the
married life, to marry gentleman.
He thus defines what he means by the
term:
A true gentleman is generous and un-
selfish. He regards another's happi-
ness and welfare as we'll rs his own.
You will see the trait running through
all his actions. A man who is bear at
home among his sisters and discour-
teous to his mother is just tho man to
avoid when you come to the great ques-
ton which is to be answered yes or no.
A man may be ever so rustic in his
early surroundings. if he is true gem
tleman he will not bring blush to your
cheek in any society by his absurd be-
haviOr.
There is an instructive politeness in
herent in such character, which every
where commands respect and makes its
owner pass for what he is-one of ma
lures noblemen.

men still in the world. You need not

Marshes and Malaria.

The opinion. formerly so prevalent,
that malaria exists only, or chiefly, in
marshy soil appears to be successfully
combatted by Professor Tommassi, who
cites as evidence not only that the Cam
pagna of Rome is not really marshy,
but that, speaking roughly, two-thirds
of the malaria-stricken districts of Italy
are situated on heights. He refers to
the well-known fact, that sometimes the
surface of these districts is completely
dry during the summer, but the produc-
ton of malaria in them goes on just the
same, provided they are kept moist be-
low the surface by special conditions Of
the subsoil, and the air can reach the
moist strata by pores or crevices in the
surface.
The investigation made by M. Tom.
massi and others further show, that the
direct action of the oxygen of the air is
SO necessary to the development of the
microscopic plant to which the malaria
is due. that the most pestilential marsh
es become innocuous when the soil is
completely covered by water; pave.
ments, buildings. and the like. may act
in the same way, and arrest the devel-
opment of the plant by cutting off the
necessary supply OF oxygen-but if. even

State grocer raised the price of GER

to forty-five cents, and an old farmer
who came in with barrel of cider-yin-
egar to sell could hardly credit his sense
when told that his favorite brand of tea
had advanced several cents per pound.
What on airth is the reason for this
sudden raiser" he inquired.
Scarcity of tea-chests," was the brief
answer.
"Well. do you want my vincgar!e'
"How much?'

Eyes; but cider has riz, you-sec."
"What has brought cider up?' asked

Scarcity of bung-hole plugs" was
the quiet but serious reply.
They looked 1T each other without
winking. and then tea dropped back TO
thirty-e, hit and cider to seven cents.
