THREE MINUTE CLASS.

Ihe PAGERS race brought out Gypsy,
Nigger and Lazy Bill. Pools sold even on
the two former, with q tendency to favor
Nigger. The first heat was won by Gypsy
in 2:361s, Lazy Bill second, time 2:39;
Niger 2:40. There was some dispute as
to the conduct of the driver OF Niger, and
the judges adlnonished 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 2:36; Nigger
2AO15.
As soon as the horses passed under the
wire the judges cleared the stand, and,
after consultation, being satisfied that
Niger was pulled" declared all bets of,
but gave the race TO Gypsy, thus causing
some dissatisfaction among the book
makers, who would have realized hand
somely had Niger been declared beaten
fairly.
In addition to the above races some ex-
cellent exhibitions of trotting and pacing
were presented by Mr.. Beaupre's Black

THE HOMES OF LITERART PEOPLE

THE HOMES OF LITERARY 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,
father 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. e.-Ne,U

ABOUT SPELLING.

Mark Twain has his little fling at
those peculiarities of English spelling
which retard the proficiency of dull
scholars. He says: There ia, 1000
words in the unabridged dictionary. I
know lady who can spell only 1SO 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

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.

word-caff If anybody here can spell
calf more sensibly than that, let him

MTDWIY RACES.

Another Interesting Satu urday Afternoon
Sharp Practice Rebuked by the De. isio u
of the Judges.
The managers of the matinee trot at
Midway park yesterday afternoon have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
success of their enterprise, which was
really repetition of previous affair a
week before. Upwards of 1000 persons
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
feat of Commodore Kittson's bay mare
Astoria, probably the last direct
descendant from the twins of the hero of
Chester, ,Rysdyk's Hambletonian, ,nowon the
track, and she until yesterday without
record. Her performance of yesterday,
making mile in 2:2915, adds another Ito
thelistof Rysdyk's Hambletonian's get that
has beaten 2:30, this making 36. Astoria
is sister of Dexter and Dictator, Dicta-
tor being the sire of Phallas and Jay Eye
See, whose performances have been the
wonder of the past season on the turf
Astoria is with colt now, and nearly
twenty years old. She was
driven yesterday By Mr.. L. D.
Woodmansee, who had the credit of max
ing Pocahontas famous and several of
Bonner's stable often. Mr. Woodmansee
is now close onto seventy years old, but
the manner in which he manipulated the
ribbons yesterday might have put many
wouid-be turfman of the present day to
shame. The names of Woodmansee and
Astoria on the turf brought many a lover
of the horse back decade of years to the
time when Dexter, Goldsmith's Maid and
others of that school were the wonders of
the turf. When the old boy came to the
score yesterday afternoon round of ap-
plause went up from the grand stand,
but when the judges gave the
word 60" and the veteran sent
her spinning to the half-mile post in
1:l4h. The excitement was running high
as she made the turn and came down the
stretch at 2:30 gait. Bets were offered
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
exact time made by three watches was
2:2912. Several outsiders made the time
still lower, one going as low as 2:284.
The races were all mile heats, best two
in three and for $50 purses. and were as

Bachelors In History.

In antiquity it was considered unpat-
riotic to remain unmarried. Hence
bachelors were subjected to peculiar
disabilities in the Spartan and Roman
code. They were obliged to pay extra
taxes, and under Augustus they were
barred from the inheritance OF real
estate, except from their nearest rela.
tives. Only one OF our national presi-
dents was bachelor and he was fail
ure. Bachelors, generally speaking, are
not a. sucoeisful in life as married men.
It is said that one of Washington's
was celebate. All had the influence
of marriage and social life. Hence the
tendency against wedlock which marks
the opresent day is among its worst
features. Speaking Of marriage it should
be complete union of affection and in
tellectual powers. 1t may be added that
. mans wife should be to certain de-
gree his business partner. She should
know something Of hin risks and finan-
cial difficulties, and in this way the bur.
den of life is divided. Walter Scott hid
from his wife his connection with the
Ballantynes, which caused his ruin. This
was great mistake. On the other hand
one OF the most successful business men
in this city has always made his wife
q confdant in his scenes. and found her
advice sdvsntageous.-IN. Y. Corr.

THREE ANGELS.

They say this life is barren, drear and cold;
Ever the same sad song was sung of old,
Ever the same long, weary tale is told,
And to our lips is held the cup of strife,
And yet-a little love can sweeten life.
They say our hands may grasp but joys de-
stroyed,
Youth has but dreams, and age an aching void,
Whose Dead Sea fruit long, long ago has cloyed,
Whose night with wild, tempestuous storms is
rife
And yet little hope can brighten life
They say we fling ourselves in wild despair,
Amidst the broken treasures scattered there.
Where all is wrecked, where all once promised
fair;
And stab ourselves with sorrows two-e<ged
knife
And yet little patience strengthens life.
Is it then true, this tale of bitter grief,
Of mortal anguish finding no relief
LoI midst the winter shines the laureIs leaf;
Three angels share the lot of human strife,
Three angels glorify the path Of life.
Love, Hope and Patience cheer US on our way,
Love, Hope and Patience form our spirits stay,
Love, Hope and Patience watch US day by day,
And bid the desert bloom with beauty Veraal,
Until the earthly fades in the eternal

IN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE RUIN
OF AMERTC4N FORESTS.

The very necessities of their situation
have aroused the people of some OF our
Western States to action. In Kansas,
Nebraska and other States liberal pre-
miums have been offered for the encou'-
agement of tree-planting, and already III
many portions of the prairie region n
perceptible change has taken place, ana
the eye no longer wanders over great
spaces without sight of shrub or tree.
Minnesota has her Forestry Association,
and its Secretary reports that between
seven and ten millions of trees were
planted in that State during the year
1877, of which more than half million
were planted in a single day, "Arbor
Day. as it is called, or planting
day. the first Tuesday of May having
been fixed upon as the day, and every
owner of land invited to devote the day
especially to the planting of trees. Sim
liar efforts have been made in other
States which are similarly situated in
respect to supply of forest. The great
railway companies, whose roads stretch
across the tree!ess prairies, have become
in some instances large planters of trees,
feeling the need of them both as screens
from the fierce storms that sweep down
from the Rocky mountains, and as a
source of supply for the ties which are
constantly needing renewal.
Tree-planters' manuals are published
and distributed freely, with a view to
aid those who would plant, giving them
the experience already obtained in re-
gard to the most profitable trees to
plant and the best methods of planting.
Thus in some places there is already
quite a movement in the right direction.
In the reports of planting the figures
make an imposing aggregate. But a

liberal discount needs to be made for
the probable failure of large percent
age of the trees planted. And even
with the most generous estimate in re-
gard to the work of planting, what is
accomplished as yet is but fraction of
what needs to be douc. Il IS Tut the

trees can stand upon an acre, and the
latest estimates put the annual decrease
of our forest area at 1000, 900 acres. So
that Minnesota, with all her ardor in
this work, has only planted one tree for
every acre of trees destroyed. An area
equal to that of the State of Marylandis
every year swept clean of its trees. This
is large section to be taken yearly out
of our forest resources. With all that
we are yet doing in the way of tree
planting, the balance is largely against
us. With all the interest and energy
manifested by the young West on this
subject, stimulated by her most press
ing need, we are only planting one acre
while thirty-fve are laid bare by the AK
and by fire. And we must consider also
that the work of destruction goes on at
an increasing rate from year to year as
our population and our industries in
crease, and that the trees which are
felled are the product, on the average,
of more than century's growth, while,
those we plant must grow during a,
century before they can fill their place.

DEATH BY TELEGRAPH.

The discussion of electric-light dan
gers springs up or breaks out often and
IN numerous places. A scientist and
expert was asked if mans life was in
danger when his body was exposed to
the current of electricity necessary to
feed the electric light. His reply was
that no man knew the extent Of the dam
ger, or rather the extent of the injury
that might be incurred. If a man
should place his hands upon the wire
before the generator started and keep
them there until the machine stopped,
as he might be obliged to whether lie
wanted to or not, since the muscles
would contract very strongly-if he dbl
this, it is believed that he would he

were removed, if they could be, or If
the wire should break while the genera
tor was in operation, he would receive
an induction spark that might XII Iunt
and might not. That would depend c!i
what part was affected and upon the
mans physical condition. 1t might
paralyze the heart, it might cause struu-
gulation, and in any case would be l.%e-
ly to cause more or less arrangement oj
the nervous system. But the positiv4
