WHERE TO SEE THE GREAT TROTTERs
OF NEW YORK.
lCincinnati Times-Star.)

No two men in America have had more ex-
perience with fine trotting stock, and none are
better judges than Calvan NJ Priest, of the
New York Club Stables, Twenty-eight street,
near Fifth avenue, and Dan Mace of the Ex-
celsior Stables, West Twenty-ninth street,
New York, the champion double-team driver
of the United States. Both of these gentle
man say, that for painful ailments in horses,
such as cuts, bruises, swellings, lameness,
stiffness, st. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything
they have ever used or heard Of This Is also
the opinion of Prof. David Robarge, the cele-
brated shorse- sheer of the metropolis, and thou
sands of stockowners throughout the country.
As pain-cure for man and beast st. Jabobs
Oil has no equal. Mr.. Priest recites the
case of valuable trotter, SO stiff from rheuma-
tism that he could not move an inch. BY one
thorough application of st. Jacobs Oil at night,
the animal was completely cured and was fit
for the race-track the next day.

UNDERGROUND RUSSIA.

Russia is the land of contrasts.
There was lately a pageant in St
Petersburg which the illustrated pa
pers have graphically depicted. In
the state box of Nobility Hall sits
the Gar. Before him defile the
mummers of the carnival. Venus
holding aloft a golden chalice, is
borne in procession, the damsels
strewing flowers around her, the
zanies drumming at her feet. Cupid
shoots his dart into the masquerading
throng. Everybody is merry, firt-
ing and laughing, drinking and jest
ing. This is one side of the picture.
The other is gloomier. At the
time when this carnival was held a
batch of political prisoners were
waiting their trial. They were re-
Gently convicted and sentenced
some to death, some to Imprisonment
in the mines, which is worse than
death. They were recruited from all
classes Of society mobiles and peas
ants, artisans and members of the lib
eral professions. For the past five
years they had all been engaged in
one cause, letting no personal inter
ests stand in their way. perfectly
loyal to each other, sometimes trying
to escape, sometimes attempting
suicide-never betraying their com
rades. Some of them had laid mines
in the street; some had blown up
railway tracks; some had thrown
bombs; some had been engaged at
secret printing presses; some had
been string up the peasants to re.
volt. But none of them ever turned
traitor.
Indeed, these conspirators seem to
have formed a casio by themselves.
They had a domestic life of their own.
They were married and were given
in marriage. Their servants were
sworn into the plot. The coachmen
who drove them to their gatherings
would be experts in the manufacture
of dynamite; the cooks who fur
nished their revolutionary banquets
would be skilled in the mixture Of
poisons. For reading they had their
mysterious little pamphlets, bound in
yellow and red, setting forth the
achievements of the sainted Jeliabofl
and the martyrdom of Sophie Pc
roffsky. For conversation they had
the endless tale of suffering in 81
beria-how their brother had become
a raving lunatic and their sister was
knouted to death. Not very happy
life, it may be thought; not 30 happy
as that of the masqueraders in No
bility Hall. Yet it was life of alb
solute sincerity, of entire devotion to
cause believed to be just, and, M
such. one of the strangest phenomena
OF our time.
It is, in truth, an extraordinary
war, this of the Czar and the conspira
tors. On both sides there are cour
age and energy. The Emperor de
| fies his enemies on the eve of his cor
| onotion; the Nihilists go to the gal
lows without mummur, confident
that there are others to take theil
places. Their perseverance is thu
more remarkable because tho worlo
has no sort Of sympathy with theil
warfare, and is only Interested t.
watch the plots which they contrivt
in the streets while carnival reign'
in tho palaces. where Venus uphold
her golden chalice and Cupid shoot.

ABOUT Josh BILLINGS"

Those persons who see nothing
humorous in Josh Billings" will
be surprised at tho information that
his Farmers Alminax" reached as
high sale as $4,000 copies in its
second year, and that during its
successful period of ten years, the
author and publisher each received
$4,000 from this successful nonsense.
No less surprising is the information
that Josh was forty-five years old
when he commenced to write, and
that, though he only received $1.5O
for his first effort, 1.-The Essa on the
Muel" land that was in May, 1863,
he has since 1866 made fortune by
writing half column week for the
New York Weekly. At first the "Essa
on the Muel" was written in good
photography, but it did not take, and
Artemus Wards phonetic method
suggested the distorted spelling with
which all the world is now familiar.
Doubtless it is not generally known,
either, that Mr.. Shaw's father was a
member of Congress from Massachu-
sets, and an intimate friend of Henry
Clay. "Josh" himself did not like
politics. Indeed, it seems that he
was not very fond of anything except
a "gcod time" So he spent most of
his early years in a rather adven-
tr.rous way, going to the Rocky
Mountains when such journey was
something more difficult than a hol-
iday jaunt, living at intervals at
Poughkeepsie, for while steering a
steamboat like Mark Twain) on The
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and for
a deal of his time doing nothing. Now
he lives. hale, long haired, elderly
gentleman, in this city, and takes his
Shie4 delight in playing with his
grandchildren. He enjoys in a
sensible way tho fortune that his
foolishness has brought, and is a
familiar figure to the loungers on
Broadway. He wears his hair long,
not for any silly affectation, but be-
cause it conceals a birth mark behind
one of his ears New York World.

A VEGETARIAN superb vegeta-
rian supper was recently given in
London to some prominent persons,
the object in view being to give
practical illustration of the economy
with which life could be maintained
on vegetable diet. The supper con-
sisted of three courses, accompanied
by brown bread and a cup Of coca
for each guest. A "hotch-potch''
soup was first served. It was COM
posed of potatoes, turnips, carrots,
leeks, celery, green peas, parsley and
butter. It was palatable. and it is
claimed for it that it is nutritious.
The next dish was pie made OF
haricot beans, -four, onions and but
ter; and then followed the sweets, a
hot mess of rhubarb, rice and sugar.
The cost of the meal was less than
81 5s., being at the rate OF 3D.. each
person.

A new and strange vehicle, which
has made it's appearance upon the
Paris boulevards, may be expected
in this country in time, and it will
doubtless excite much curiosity. It
is known as L'Hirondelle, but it has
another name in Poland and Russia,
where it is said to have been success
fully used. One large hoop or spoke
less wheel, much larger than can be
used in any other way, surrounds the
driver and his seat, and gives to the
vehicle all the advantage of large
wheels. As it rolls along it keeps in
motion three small grooved wheels
which work upon it's inner surface.
These wheels are firmly attached to
the drivers seat, which is also rigidly
connected with the shafts. The main
weight is borne by tho large wheel,
but to prevent overturning there are
two outriding wheels connected by
springs with the driving wheels.
The vehicle represents an approx
mately successful attempt to obtain
the ease Of friction afforded by a
rail for the ordinary road vehicle.

in appearance, and upon smooth sur.
faces should afford rapid and easy

Iron Bittos is owing to the fact that it is the
very best iron preparation made. BY dthor-

beginning at the foundation it builds up and
restores lost health. 1t does not contain

Such instances make the hair dresser
proud of his calling. He feels like
an important factor in the history of
civilization"
And what do you think of hair
cutting machines?"
"Those horrible horse clipping ma
chimes, by the use of which the barber
degenerates into a groom, the barber
shop into a stable, and the customer
into horse7 They make the ears
stick out like wind mills, and the hair
resembles that of prize fighter or a
convict"
"Then they do not have these ma
chimes in Francep
mo, indeed Frenchmen compre
bend that hair is an ornament, and
wear it long. That is the reason a
French barber has peculiar way OF
cutting hair"
s'And how does this method differ
from that of other barbersY
"We do not cut it square. We cut
it in, SO to speak, what we call eGle.
The word is difficult to translate. 1t
| means that as we cut we slide the
scissors in and out 1t requires, of
course, most agile touch"
''And do you not claim the same
superiority for French shaving and
beard trimming?"
Decidedly. And here, too, we
see the virtues of the curling iron.
Do you suppose Frenchman would
allow cosmetique on his mustachei
Never. Moreover, in trimming the
beard we consider the physiognomy
of our subject, and shape the beard
accordingly. For long face we
fashion a square beard with an angle
isocele at the end-that is indented.
For round face we have the Henri
7fois. You soc, we follow the canons
of art aud science in our work. 1t
would not be possible to see in France,
as you see here, men with mus
taches and whiskers shaved and few
stubs of hair on the chin
''How about the imperial beard and
mustache"
"That has passed into history. 1t
fell with the empire"
But, despite all you say about the
superiority of French hair dressers, 1
have heard American gentlemen on
returning from Paris complain Of
Partisan BARRIERS"
"That is because these gentlemen
went to the wrong places. You know
in Paris many hair-dressers make a
speciality of dressing ladies' hair, for
French women do not, like the Ameri,
Gaines, intrust the care of their hair
to ignorant maids We have, it is
true, lady barbers-modern Delilahs
in Paris, but for the most part
Partisan ladies acknowledge the su-
perior dexterity OF the male sex. Now,
the hair-dressers who make spec
ialty of dressing ladies' hair have
their shops on the ground floor.
They are not specially skillful in cut
ting mems hair, but if a foreign gen
tleman is foolish enough to come
into their shop they, of course, are
not foolish enough to turn him away
1 fancy the complaints you speak OF
originated in this manner. The
gentlemen should have gone to some
barber shop on the belle etdge."
"You studied in France, and OF
course all gentlemen of taste prefer
the French tonsorial method. But
suppose someone should ask you to
cut his hair according to his OWL
taste--or rather want of tastei"
81 would say: Monsieur, / am q
poor man, but a good barber. AS a
poor man I would like to comply
with your wish; as an artist 1 must
refuse. / cut e6iLe or not at ALL.

THE PREHIsTORICAL CEMETERIES.

Two miles from Mandan, on the
bluffs near the junction OF the Hart
and Missouri rivers, is an old ceme-
terry of fully one hundred acres in
extent, filled with bones of q giant
race. This vast city of the dead lies
just east of Fort Lincoln road. The
ground has the appearance Of having
been filled with trenches piled full of
dead bodies, both man and beast,
and covered with several feet of
earth. In many places mounds from
eight to ten feet high and some of
them hundred feet or moro in
length, have been thrown up and are
filled with bones, broken pottery,
vases of various bright-colored fints
and agates. The pottery is of a
dark material, beautifully decorated,
delicate in finish, and as light as
wood, showing the work of people
skilled in the arts and possessed Of a
high state of civilization. This has
evidently been a grand battle field
where thousands of men and horses
have fallen. Nothing like a system
attic or intelligent exploration has
been made, as only little holes two
or three feet in depth have been
dug in some of the mounds, but many
of the parts of an anatomy of man
and beast, and beautiful specimens of
broken pottery and other curiosities,
have been found in these feeble
efforts at excavation. Five miles
above Mandan, on the opposite side
of the Missouri, is another vast Gem
etery as yet unexplored. We asked
an Indian what his people knew OF
these ancient graveyards. He an
swered: "Me know nothing about
them. They were here before the
red man."

Professor Treadwell of Massachu-
sets found that a half grown Ameri-
can robin in confinement ate in one
day GO worms, weighing together
once and a half as much as the bird
himself. With such fearful odds
against him, it is no wonder the early
worm gets caught, and that the man
who digs for them so often gets left
