THE HOMES OF ]

THE HOMES OF LITERART PEOPLE.
The great literary names of the
country stand for domestic purity and
the home virtues. Irving did not mar
ry; but after Miss Hoffman's death he
lived like true knight, carrying his
heart for an invisible bride. Longfel-
lows home was sweet and beautiful as
any poem he ever wrote. Nothing could
exceed the genial pleasantness of the
home life of Bryant; of the Danas,
faGher and son; of Hawthorne, whose
gifted wife gave him so much cheer and
aid in his work; of Bayard Taylor, and
of DIR. Holland. Emerson's home at
Concord was an idyl, and hard-hearted
people who visited him did not wonder
that he talked SO loftily and sweetiy,
and believed that all human beings have
an angel side. How could he help be-
ing everything noble, or believing every
thing good, who lives in paradise.-Neu

THREE MINUTE CLASS.

The PAGERS race brought out Gypsy,
Niger and Lazy Bill. Pools sold even on
the two former, with 4 tendency to favor
Nigger. The first heat was won by Gypsy
in 2:38115, Lazy Bill second, time 2:39;
Niger 2:4O. There was some dispute as
to the conduct of the driver of Niger, and
the judges adnonished him before he
started the second heat, and the horses
came in in the same order and time, rs fol-
lows: Gypsy 2:33; Lazy Bill 2:3G; Nigger
2:4015.
As soon as the horses passed under the
wire the judges cleared the stand, and,
after a consultation, being satisfied that
Niger was pulled declared all bets off,
but gave the race TO Gypsy, thus causing
some dissatisfaction among the book
makers, who would have realized hand
somely had Nigger been declared beaten
fairly.

ABOUT SPELLING.

Mark Twain has his little fling at
those peculiarities of English spelling
which retard the proficiency of dull
scholars. He says: There la, 600
words in the unabridged dictionary. I
know a lady who can spell only $50 of
them right. She steers clear of the rest.
She can't learn any more.
So her letters always consist Of those
constantly-recurring 1S0 words. Now
and then when she finds herself obliged
to write upon subject which necessi-
tates the use of some other words, she
well, she don't write upon that SUBJ
ject. ,91H'-
have relative in New York who is
almost sublimeIy gifted. She can't spell
any word right. There is a game called
verbarium. A dozen people are each
provided with sheet of paper, across
the top of which is written long word
like kaleidoscopicaI, or something like
that, and the game is to see who can
make up the most words out of that in
three minutes, always beginning with
the initial letter of the word.
Upon one occasion the word chosen
was coferdam. When time was called
everybody had built from five to twenty
words, except this young lady. She had
ouly one word-calf. We all studied q
moment, and then said, "Why, there is
no in cofferdam. Then we examined
her paper.
To the eternal honor of that unin-
<pired, unconscious, sublimely-independ
EFT soul be it said, she had spelled that
word-caff! Ii anybody here can spell
calf more sensibly than that, let him
step to the front.

Midway park yesterday afternoon have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
success of their enterprise, which was
really a repetition of a previous affair a

were assembled on the grounds yesterday
afternoon, among whom was a fair
sprinkling of the fair sex, who were ap-
parently deeply interested in the culmina-
tion of each event The races were all
very fair, considering that most of the
horses have been in daily use and not in
the best possible condition, but the prin-
cipal event was one that will interest horse
men throughout the country, namely the

is now close onto seventy years old, but
the manner in which he manipulated the
ribbons yesterday might have put many
a would-be turfman of the present day to
shame. The names of Woodmansee and

that she would make the mile in 2:2S, but
her driver did not wish to injure the mare
by overstraining, and, as he afterwards
remarked, was satisfied to beat 2:3O. The
