A Four-Footed MaiI-carrier.

Dogs have been put to all sorts OF
uses by man. Not only do they guard
our houses ana keep away thieves, but
they hunt game for people to shoot, and
go after it when it falls; they churn the
butter and lead the blind; they take
care of the babies, and drag us out OF
the water when we are so careless as to
fall in. In more ways than / can tell
they work for us and delight to do it.
That's the pleasant thing about their
seryice-they do not work for pay.
Not all the gold in California would
have a feathers weight with one OF
them; but kind words, gentle treat
ment, and now and then bone, bind
dog to his master for life and In
death.
We are not slow to avail ourselves
of this most willing servant, and one
would think we had found out all the
uses to which dog can be put, but a
little mining camp in California has
discovered a new thing for him to do
to carry letters.
The place is hardly big enough to
have name, and of course can not
think of having post-offiee; but the
few miners there want their letters Just
as badly as though they lived in New
York City itself. They could not find
a man to bring them three miles from
the nearest post-office. for every man in
a camp wants to dig for gold, so they
have taught q dog to do il. Dorsey is
the name of the faithful fellow, and ne
runs his three miles every day, from
Calico, where the stage Stops, to Bis
marck, the camp, in twenty minutes,

De Graf winters his stock, as fully set forth
IN last Mondays GLOBE, says there can be
no doubt us 10 the fact that the stock is bred

the whole thing is that animals kept in that
way are really warmer than they would be in
box stall on the prairie; besides this, they
have fresh air and are not exposed 10 sudden
cold rains that chill the animals and give
them colds. In the timber he SAYS they are
so thoroughly protected from the winds and
storms that hardly drop Of rain or a cold
blast OF wind need to touch them.

that he had driven and trained his young
stock all this winter, driving them regularly

fact against theory. Breeders here must

Finkle eau drive his young stock every day

The 1rinncsofa Horse Breedrrs.

The meeting Of the horse breeders Of Min
nes,ea, held last Wednesday, in St. Paul,
was gathering Of staid, sensible, practical
business men, who had very definite idea
Of what they wanted to do, and quietly went
to work and did it, without necessary delay.
The constitution and bylaws adopted were
modelled closely upon those of the Illinois
association, so that it may be taken Tor
granted that they have been tested. Subse-
quent TO the adjournment OF the association
the executive committee opened the entries
for the FIRST meeting. They will close March
/ The entrance money for each race is to
be paid in three installments. the first is to
accompany the entry, the second payment
on May 1, and the third and final
payment ten days before the meeting. The
association is therefore actually started upon
its course with men engaged in it who will
be the means Of adding many thousands of
dollars to the taxable value Of the state.
These men are business men drawn here
from all parts of the state, for one purpose.
They are now united aud will act together in
the great work of developing American trot-
tiers. Much good was omplished by the
discussions that took place, and a wholly
new impulse was given the breeding interests
of the state. There seems to be no reason to
doubt in regard to the races filling. Those
who were in attendance expressed determi
nation to put ia their stock, and there seems
to he no good reason why they should
not put it in. These trotting contests
constitute, in one sense, the essence Of the
objects Of the association which is TO breed
and develop the trotter. This can be done
only in active contests like the one arranged
for by the association. Mr. Porter Martin
gave his opinion pretty freely and fully
against trotting young stock, especially with
weights up, and declared he would not con-
sent to do it. The whole tone Of the meet
ing was against putting the young ones into
hard races where the scoring should be long
continued, under heavy weights, which
would have a tendency to defeat the purpose
the association had in view.

DdUid Mcdaniel.


The life of Col. David Mcdaniel was
checkered one. He was born In Virginia
eighty years ago, and his face was familiar
on the race tracks when the great Boston's
turf career was at flood tide. He was sue
cessful trainer, but even before the civil con-
fict he had his ups and downs. Immedi-
ately after the war be turned his face north
ward, and he leased the old Secaucus track
in New Jersey, just back of Hoboken. For
tune did not smile on him at first. This was
evident to every one who saw his shabby out
fit, and it was emphasized by the
manner in which he lodged the sheriff.
After the gates of Jerome park had been
thrown open to the public and fashion had
taken possession of the club house on the
hill, the Mcdaniel racing confederacy was
formed, and then the blue and red became
almost invincibe. The colonel gave his
personal attention to the horses, being with
them early and late, and prize after prize
was gathered in. His success was marvellous
and he was the envy of beaten owners. The
stick which he carried in his hand seemed to
be musicians wand. His victories made
him somewhat arrogant, and he was able 20
buy handsome place at Princeton. The
cOnfedcracy was dissolved and the star of
Mcdaniel began to pass under cloud. His
reverses stripped him of his possessions and
left him penniless in his old age. The last
time We saw him was at Chicago in July. He
was wreck, physically and financially,
and when we clasped his trembling,
wasted hand, we felt that his DAYS
were numbered. The contrast between his
position as the impecunious trainer of un-
fortunate platers and the director of such
illustrious performers as Harry Bassett,
Sprirgbok, Katie Pease and Joe Daniels, was
as sad as it was striking. From Chicago Col.
Mcdaniel went south, and his face was never
seen in the north again-the tickle north,
which had raised him to affiuence and which
had reduced him to poverty. At Mobile, on
Wednesday, Jan. %, surrounded by his chill
dreu, he quietly passed away, and on the fol-
lowing day his body was carried to the grave.
The bruised spirit needed rest, and doubtless
it has found it. The history of the American
turf can n OF be written without devoting many
pages to the rise and fall of David Mcdaniel.

annual meeting, Jan. 80. BY the secretary

tended the fifty-eight games here, an average
OF lilo. The Boston games averaged 2, l52,
while the Others ranked as follows: Buffalo,
| Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland
and Detroit. The average attendance at the
latter was 1872. The associations financial
condition is thoroughly first-class, and a
dividend of 10 per cent cash was declared.
| There are some reasons for thinking ST.
Paul will have base ball club next year. 1t
has not been decided what cities will COM
pose the league, and until that is decided the
matter OF a club will be in doubt. Hogan,
who played right field for the Milwaukees,
would like to play here, though he has not
formally applied for a position. 1t is not
anticipated that there will be any trouble in
getting players, for good ones are quite
numerous this year, the reason being that the
| clubs will be less numerous than last year.
