it over the extensive fertile plains on

The Greatest Horse In the World

Foxhall, by King Alfonso, was born
in Kentucky, and was purchased for
the small 50 n of $3.50. He is dark bay,
with black points, and the near hind
pastcrn white. He has clean head,
light neck, back trif1e to lengthy. but
good barrel, and shoulders Of admir-
able power. He Was the first American
colt that ever ran in France. The finish
for the Grand Prix was magnificent.
Archer was riding the French colt Trist-
tan, and as they came along the home.
strech rode his very best, and lifted his
horse almost even to Foxhall. A shout
of :'Tristanp 'Tristan!" was rending
the air from thousands of excited
FrenchmeR, the horses were almost
ham for the first time raised his whip.
A cut on the shoulder of Foxball is ans
wered by grand leap forward, and the
Grand Prix Of Paris, with its 100000
francs, is won by Mr.. Keene. After his
French victory Foxhall performed but
poorly at Ascot, and English critics felt
inclined to think his triumph at Long
champs mere accident. They were un
deceived by his splendid performances
in the great autumn locals. In the Ces-
arewitch he carried ITO pounds, and won
in common canter; in the select stakes
with 1877 pounds, he again defeated,
with the utmost ease, his old French riv-
al :sTristan;" in Cambridgeshire, with
1875 pounds on his back, he defeated
.sLucy Glitters" carrying 81 pounds by a
head, while Christian" came in third,
with l07 pounds. Among the horses
not placed by the Judge in this last
race, was the Derby victor Of 1880,
"Bend Or" carrying 1874 pounds: In the
Champion stakes ten days before the
Cambridgeshire, "Bend Or" with 1870
pounds, had defeated s:Iroquois" with
only 116 on his back. But we must not
rashly infer anything as to the relative
merits of the two American horses
from these performances, as "Ir oquois"
was quite IA pounds below his Derby
form. "Foxhall's'' double, victory in the
two great Newmarket handicaps has had
only one parallel, the victory Of i Rose
berry" in 1876 Mr.. Keene may well say
thaI his ''colt is the greatest horse in the
world" The Cesare witch course is two

IT, '>> York Herald, July s.
f There Is great difference between
Fl yhting Indians and fighting white men
The savages always geti a position where
they will be shielded, and only fight
when they want to, and our soldiers are
forced to fight whether they want to or
not, and these scouts know better how
to surprise them than our soldiers; for
they are intelligent warriors and take
advantage of every little circumstance.
Every Indian is general and knows
exactly what to do under any circuul-
stances. He. knows which is the best
position for him and how to take the
enemy at q disadvantage. He is always
under all conditions perfectly self-pos-
sessed, and there is an individuality
about him at all times. The soldier is
mechanical and part Of a great machine,
and thereby looses his individuality. Fl
there is weak spot in our line and q

will drop on that point and make as

City Folks in the Country.

From Peck's Milwaukee Sun.
Said the bad boy to the grocery man:
"Yon see, one of the deacons in our
church lives out on farm, and all his
folks were gong away to spend the day,
and he had to al! the chores, SO he in
vlted pa and ma to come out to the farm
and have a nice. quiet time, and they
went.
There is nothing my pa likes better
than to go out on the farm, and pretend
ne knows everything. When the farm
er got pa and ma out there he set them
to work, ana ma shelled peas while pa
went to dig potatoes for dinner.
think it was mean for the dea-
cou to send pa out in the corn-ield to
Zig potatoes, and after he had dug w
'nle row of corn without finding Il ~
go ;'toes, he set the dog on "a and freed
'lm in all apple tree near the bee-hires,
amt then 90 and visit with ma snd leave
"a in the tree with the dog barking at
linn Pa said he never knew how meal
deacon could be, until he had sat on a
limb of that apple tree all the afternoon
About time to do chores the farmer
came and found pa and called the dog OF,
and pa came down, and then. the farmer
played the meanest trick ofaIl. He said
city people didn't know how to milk
COWS, and pa said he wished he had as.
many dollars as he knew how to milk
cows. He said his specially was milking,
kicking COWS, and the farmer gave pa q,
tin pail and milking stool and let down.
he bars, and pointed out to pa the.
worst COW on the place.
Pa knew his reputation was st stake and
he went up to the COW and punched it in
the flank and said, Hist, confound you. -,
Well, the cow wasn't a. histing cow, but
a histing bull, and pa knew it was bull
us quick as he see it put down it's head
and better, and pa dropped the pail,and
started for the bars, and the bull after
pa.
l don't think it was right in ma to bet
two shillings with the farmer that pa
would get to tie bars before the bull did,
though she won the bet Pa said he
knew il was bull just as soon as he got
tangled up in his coat tail, and when he
struck on the other side of the bars, and
his nose hit the. ash-barrel where they
make I've for soap, pa said he saw more
fire works than we did at the Soldiers
home. Pa wouldn't celebrate any more,
and be came home, after thanking the
farmer Tor his courtes'es, but he wants
me to borrow d gun and go out with him
hunting. We are going TO shoot bull
and a dog, and some bees, and may be
we will shoot the farmer, if pa keeps on
rs mad as he is now. Well we won't
have another 4th Of July for a yesz.
