THE FASTEST TRIO rrIxs.

Prof. William H. Brewer of Connecti.
cut and Francis E. Nipher of Missouri
have undertaken to answer this difficult
question:
What is the highest speed that can
ever be attained by the American
trotting horse for the distance Of one
mile
Prof. Brewer published a table showing
the number of trotting horses which have
attained or surpassed various rates of
speed ranging from 2:3O to 2:ll for a
series of years extending from lS43 to
1882. From this table it appears that in
lS43 there was only one horse that had
trotted a mile in 2:30 or better; in 1853
the number had increased to Ia; in 1868
to SO; in 1878 to 376; in 1882 to l,6S4.
The table also shows that up to 1882, 495
horses had trotted a mile in 2:25 or
better; 275 in 2:23 or better; l56 in POI
or better; go in 2:l9 or better; is in 2:l7
or better, and s in 2:l5 or better. II
leave it to mathematicians," said Prof.
Brewer in reference to this table, ''to
plot the curves which Immediately sug-
gest themselves to determine how fast
horses will ultimately trot and when this
maximum will be reached"
Mr.. Nipher has undertaken the task
thus suggested. His first conclusion, as
stated in the July number of the Ameri-
can Journal of Science, was that the
maximum speed to which the American
trotting horse will constantly approx.
mate, but never reach, is one mile in 80
seconds, or l:32. He also concludes that
the time Of the trotting horse will be re.
duced to within one second of this figure
in 800 years after the year 1860; that is
to say, in the year of our Lord 1920. Mr..
Nipher does not claim absolute precision
for his results, and says that the maxi
mum speed may possibly be as great as
100 seconds. In the course of 10 years,
however, he thinks the limit can be fixed
with accuracy, and he is quite clear that
eventually the maximum speed of
trotting and running horses will differ
only by a few seconds.

THE GRAPHIC ON nEECuER.

The New York Graphic has this to say
of one of Henry Ward Beecher's ideas:
'tMr. Beecher says he believes the ami
NAL part of man was evolved from beings
below him. while in spiritual value he is
the son of God This explains some
things. 4 am brave enough myself
said a gentleman whose courage had been
doubted, but the truth is l have a pair
of legs that l can't control, and they
always run me out Of danger. So, while
the spiritual part of man tends towards
heaven, the animal part carries him the
other way. The trouble lies in the legs"

SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The article Of the
North German Gazette startled Paris and
alarmed Europe. and caused the prices on
the Bourses of Paris, Vienna and Berlin
to fall. The press everywhere express sur
prise at the Gazette's attack on France, and
wonder what it's object ia. The French
papers repel the charges contained in the
article, and intimate that France is pre-
pared now to say Bismarck is seeking q
pretext for a quarrel, or for the imposition
of q fresh army. The Austrian press ask
II the article means war. The English
journals think the warning was overdone
and the cause for it insufficient. 1t would
not be because they wish to attach too
much significance to the article.
LONDON. Aug. 23.-The Times CORES
pendent at HongkoDg, referring to the
movement Of the French in Tonquin, says
the enemy was mainly composed Of Chi
nese armed with Remington rifles. 1t is
believed the enemy's loss was small. The
French doctors complain of a want Of
medicine and stores. The operations Of
the French have been stopped for the
present, the number of troops being insuf-
ficient to attack Sontay and Bacniuh,
which are the strongest positions in the
delta. The repulse threatened them en-
the enemy. Four thousand native
Christians are being armed at Hondarso.
A correspondent at Hanoi adds: 1t is
generally admitted hat the French will
require q force Of 100, 900 men to be able
to cope with the enemy successfully. The
number of guns are also inadequate.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-Gladstone stated in
the Commons that A%ddington, the French
ambassador, had given assurance to the
British Government that Shaw would
have every facility for conducting his de-
tense, and France would do her utmost to
close the incident.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Times, com
menting on the Berlin North German Ga
zette's article, referring to the attack of
the French journals on Germany, and de-
claring that France alone threatens the
peace of Europe, says the irritation shown
by the latter paper cannot be explained by
the reason assigned, as the French press
has been very moderate in regard to Ger
many.

stances.
For the information OF those who have
not looked into the subject, we may say
that the carp is q native Of the central
countries Of Europe and . corresponding
latitude in Asia. 1t is easily and safely
transplsnted. as it will live out Of water
- long as it is kept moist. 1t has been
tried by Commissions Parker Of Nevada
and found to do well in this State. II is
rather an inhabitant of lakes and ponds
than OF creeks or rivers. in which, II
found, 1t shows . preference for the %stillest
parts. II is an excellent food fish. Its
fecundity In favorable circumstances, such
a. the sloughs Of Nevada may afford, Is
Prodigious; more than 700. 600 eggs hsv-

carp OF moderate size. 1t attains the
weight OF three pounds when six years old.

is Life Worth Living?

This mOmentOus question, says Justice,
was asked by a bright Englishman few
months since and was not answered. In
the name of the majority of the workers it
then answers, ''decidedly il is not" for the
following reasons:
Because the men who do the work and
produce the wealth of this and Of every
other country do not secure for their own
comfort and good the wealth which their
work produces. Let us see how this is so.
The census tables of 1870 showed that
the real workers of the country then pro-
duced wealth to the amount of about $500
for each pair of hands. The census tables
of 1880 show that the average wages paid
to all mechanical and mill hands was only
$347 per year; and the wages of farm
workers in 1870 was still less. Probably
an average wage of $500 per year for all
our workers is not far from the mark.
What becomes of the balance of the
workers production, amounting to $500
each?
Our ignorant and constituencies tax
spenders at Washington take some $780,
100000 a year; our ignorant and 0Onsci-
enceless legislators for States, counties,
cities, etc, take twice as much more,
which they spend regardless of the work.
ers who make and pay the taxes. Our
mOnOliSts and spectators take the bal
ance; and that balance seems to collect
in the hands of our plundering barons,
like the GOulds, Fields, Vanderbilts, Rock
folders, Mills's, Spreckels, HuntingtOns,
Smiths, Tildens, ETC., etc, millions upon
millions, so that no man can now number
them. These fortunes must deVOur the
land. There are now perhaps twenty for
tunes in the United States which count
500, 000, 900 each.
Accommodating at per cent, each of
these at the end of 100 years must swell to
100000 600. And as the whole wealth
ESTIMATED of these United States is now
only some $50,000000, 600, it is plain one
hundred years hence we may see twenty
five men owning all the property of every
kind existing in this bounteous land. Do
our readers know that monopoly means

A Valuable Medicine-Hunt's Rene
dN-Its Many Merits

There are no diseases more prevalent,
with. perhaps, the exception of COnsump-
ton, in this country, than the Kidney and
Liver Complaints; and to find remedy
that would effectually relieve them has
long been the aim of many afflicted suf-
ferers. Whether our habits as a people
are conducive to these diseases, or
whether they may result from the pecu-
liarity of our climate, is beyond our COM
prehensiOn. and is of little value since an
efficaciOus remedy can be had; but of one
thing we are sure, that the Congratulated
public will hail with joy the
specific which has again and
again proved its ability to etfectually
cope with and eradicate these diseases.
The name of this medicine is Hunts
Remedy, and it is manufactured by the
Hunts Remedy Company of Providence.
1t is not often that mention of a
patent medicine occurs in these columns ;
but, when one comes under our notice
possessing such undOubted merit as the
one of which we speak, we cannot refrain
from giving it the credit it deserves. 1t
cures when all other remedies fail, as it
acts directly on the Kidneys, Liver and
Bowels, restoring them all at once TO
healthy action. Ii is sure to eradicate
all Diseases of the Kidneys, Blad-
der, Urinary Organs - such as
Gravel, Diabetes, lncOntinence, Re-
tentiOn of the Urine. 1t has wonderful
effect on Weakness or Pain in the Back,
Sides, or LOins, and has proved itself the
most reliable medicine eXtant for General
Debility, Female Diseases, Disturbed
Sleep, Loss of Appetite, and all complaints
of the UrinO-Genital Organs. Its efficacy
in cases of that dreadful scOurge and in
sidious destroyer, Bright's Disease of the
Kidneys, has been remarkable; and, if its
merit rested on its success in coping with
that disease alone, it would be worthy
of high rank as a public benefac-
tor. In all diseases of the Liver
as Billiousness. Headache, Dys-
pepsia, sour Stomach and COstiveness-
quickly induces that organ to healthy
action, and removes the causes at the
same time. 1t is purely vegetable in COM
position, being entirely free from all mer-
curial or mineral pOisOns, and possesses
rare virtues as a remedy for Heart Disease
and Rheumatism. We have neither time
nor space to do this medicine full justice;
but the public can obtain full particulars
in the shape of pamphlets and circulars
by addressing Hunts Remedy Company,
