She rcckoned percentage so many boys,
And so many girls all counted,
And marked all the lardy and absentees.
And to what all the absence amounted.

And averaged oil their ages;
The date of admission of every one,
And cases of flagellation;
And prepared list of graduates
For the county examination.
Her weary head sank low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower;
For some of her pupils had little brains,
And she could not furnish more.

And her spirit went to Hades.

auction and mutual pools, short ho.s.s,'
etc, Gen. Abe Buford was one of the rul-
ing magnates of the American turf, and
his flyers were among the very best and
feetest in the land. Subsequently came
reyerses, whsn he had to dispose of his
fine breeding farm, Bosque Bonita. Later
still, he created something of a sensation
by joining the church, and his stirring
TRADES against the rascalities connected
with horse racing were something to be
remembered. He was hardly less earnest

A New Disease.

A dispatch to the Wheeling (W. Val

O., is the great tribulation over an cpl
demic among the children, which has only
recently broken out The singular part
of it is that none of the doctors can either
name it or control it, and few have pro-
nounced it entirely different from any
thing they ever knew. 1t confines itself
to children, and seems to resemble scarlet
fever, but battles all remedies. Children
take it and die within 48 hours, and it
seems to be contagious. Since it made
its appearance have died and Is are now
down with the disease, while one physician
has declared that he will not attend case,
as it is entirely beyond his knowledge and
power. Our informant says the town is in
quite an excitement over it, and the peo-
pie are anxiously awaiting the arrival of
physicians summoned from other places.

The Platform adopted by the Democratic
State Contention, august IS, 1883.
We, the Democracy of Minnesota, in
convention assembled, reaffirm our devo-
ton to the time-honored maxims of the
Democratic party, that that government is
best which governs least; which leaves the
citizens in the enjoyment of the greatest
personal liberty consistent with the rights
of others and the public welfare; aud while
it affords fell protection to life and prop
erty, allows the creeds, business and GUS
toms of the people to remain unfettered
by sumptuary laws, class legislation and
extortionate monopolies.
First That every species of taxation
levied upon the many for the profit of the
few, creating monopolies and producing a
revenue in excess of the wants of the gov
eminent, economically administered, is
unjust, tyrannical ana dangerous. Sound
policy requires that the business of people
should be free from oppressive duties and
vexatious restraints, and that all legisla-
ton in reference thereto should be impair
tial in its objects and equal in its burdens.
We, therefore, favor such a thorough re-
vision of the present tariff laws as will
remedy existing evils and result in the
establishment of tariff for revenue ouly,
as the permanent commercial policy of
this country.
Fourth That the patent laws should be
revised, to the end that the innocent pur-
chasers of manufactured, articles, using
the same in good faith, shall be protected
from harrassing and oppressive suits for
the infringement of patent rights.
RESOLVED, That the maintenance in pow
er of any political party for an undue
length of time tends to an assumption of
power inconsistent with democratic prin-
ciples of government, and is dangerous to
the rights of the people, and We therefore
urge upon the electors of this state they
carefully investigate the existing state OF
things with reference to change of state
administration in their own interests

On the 28th of Sept, seven days after
the first race Fearnaught trotted at West
Union, Iowa, against Mountain Girl, and
Cethren, and won the race in three straight
heats. Time: 2:3l1l, 2:3214, 2:30I. His
last race was trotted on half mile track
besides which the track itself was at leas
six seconds slow.
These races indicate that Fearnaught be
sides having good degree of speed, has
staying qualities OF high quality.

Brown is the owner of the best pair OF

CHICAGO News, 1O.l


Johnston, the Jew pacing wonder, is
owned in Berlin, Wis, by q. Mather, and
was sent here last spring to be trained by
the well-known driver Peter V. Johnston.
who lives in this city. His first note
worthy performance was last July when he
paced against a good-sized field, among
them being Gurgle, belonging to j. L.
Case, owner OF JaY-Eye-See, and which
was thought to be phenomenal animal.
Gurgle pushed Johnston SO hard in the
first heat that he had to go at 2:12 clip
for the last three-quarters of a mile.
Every other animal in the race was shut
out in this heat except Gurgle, and the
latter was distanced in the next
heat, when Johnston made the mile in
2:13. This attracted great attention, and
considering the experience, track, and
other circumstances, this was more re-
markable performance than yesterday.
Johnston is a bright bay with black points,
stands about sixteen hands high, and has
the blood of BashaW- Mambrino and Gold
dust families in his veins. When he first
came here he was rough and shaggy, and
was not possessed OF an angelic DISPOSE
ton. Now he is as gentle as a lamb, and
is great practical joke and trick animal.
He has a most wonderful even stride, and
is to-day king of the turf in all particu-
lars. His record is 2:10, and the record
he beat was that OF Little Brown
jug, formerly owned by H. V. Bsmis, of
this city, made at Hartford two years ago,
which was 2:114. A great may persons
think that P.V. Johnston has some interest
III his namesake, but it was said yesterday
on good authority that he is owned exclu-
sively by Mather. He failed to go in any
race after he left Chicago last spring until
yesterday, owing to cold he had contract
ed. AS to what is intended with him no
one knows. He is six years of age, and,
though seemingly young, his performance
will not injure him in the slightest degree.
An offer of $4,000 was made for him to-
day at the Palmer house.

palliate these things, and the judges should
be more ready to remove Bither, with all
the power of Jay Eye See and owner be-
hind him, than poor Dodge, controller and
driver of Lizzie O'Brien, whose circum-
stances may have forced him to prepare
for long winter. 1t lis bad example for
an owner to linger in the judges stand
during the tendency of heat in which his
horse is engaged. Honor, before all things,
should govern his words and actions, es-
pecially where all eyes are upon him.
John Splan has ever been distinguished
as a driver of great ability, and has uni
formly tried to win with Commodore Kilt
sons horses this season, which has been
his salvation, for the commodore's stable
was not very strong when he donned It's
colors. Little Brown Jug crippled IN the
feet; So So had done nothing worthy OF
note last season; Won Amin went into
winter quarters with "a Leg" Lady Rolfe
was lame, and. Buffalo Girl and Flola Belle
outclassed Gem. Fanny Withersposn was
the only one of Midway's public per-
formers that gave signs Of improvement
and she could not be depended upon. She
is apt to trot great race when least ex-
pected, and the public, feeling confident
that Splan would bring glory to the MID
way colors if possible. steadily bought her
in the pools, and the inside talent did not
leave her out in playing Director against
Phallas. Splan said, 'She could go fast,
but the whooping and hollering of the
boys with the stations when 1 got between
them, and the sharp turns were too much
TO, her."
Fortune was never harder on one of her
old time favorites than on st. Julien to-day.
Within six days of his downfall, before an
assemblage of $4,000 at Fleetwood, he has
succumbed to Trinket, whom he beat in
great style over the same course two years
ago. As matter of fact, he has ceased to
be feared in the free for all class, Fanny
Witherspoon, Jay Eye See and Trinket
having successfully borne away the first
prize from him this season. The man
from Racine now holds the weapon Rickok
50 long welded, and Turner has destroyed
his hope of wrestling it from him at Chi
cago, but st. Julien is not an old horse
yet. I hope he may winter we'll in Cali
fornia, and come out strong in the free for
all next spring, to prove that he is not,
what many now call him, a splendid
ruin"
