Am OLD Warehouses.

~ WhenGen, W. Ell. l.. Wallace of the Hi
nois troops fell MORALLY wounded that
memorable day, April 6, 1862, at the battle
of Shiloh, he was riding a beautiful black
stallion-Prince-3 OF 4 years old, pur-
chased of Mai. McClaughrey, then of Cen
tralia. The fate Of the horse was far better
than was that Of his master; for after the
battle Prince was sent North to the home
of Wallace in this city, together with all
the accOutrementS-sad bride, holsters.
etc.,-where he has ever since remained.
Prince still lives, and is now about IS years
old: but the War-horse spirit that possessed
him up to that bloody day when his master
fell by a rebel bullet is almost. extinct He
eats and moves like one in daze or much
after the manner of a very aged human be-
ing. However, there are two things that
will arouse within him new life and vigor.
extend his nosrtils and kindle fire in his
eyes again. These are the smell of burnt
gunpoWder or the report of firearms, and
there can be no doubt that his memory is
taken back tWenty-three years. He at once
becomes a living symbol of the warehouse
which smells the battle afar off" When
these exciting causes are combined with the
sight of blue coat and brass buttons Prince
seems to feel himself a colt again, and
Frances around his inclosure paving the
earth with vigor that would put to shame
almost any modern three-year-old.
This peculiarly i'll Gen. Wallace's horse
was especially observable day or two ago,
when photographer endeayored, at the re-
quest of Mrs. Wallace, to make photo
graph of this relic of thatmemorabe battle.
Prince was saddled with the generals own
saddle, the pistols were in the holsters, and
in every way he looked as though Wallace
might have just dismounted-e that
the old horse had no spirit His head hung
low and he scarcely moved. The artist
hesitated about making a negative when
the subject was in that condition. Being
informed of the effect of gunpowder, Mr.
Bowman discharged revolver he carried
and the effect was electrical. The attend
ant was overthrown and narrowly escaped
being trampled upon, and away Prince
went around the lot in mad fury, until
his eye caught sight of the photographers
blue coat; thereafter the horse did not lose
sight of that coat during all the maneuvres
necessary to make the successful sitting
that followed; but his head was erect, eye
flashing, and he seemed to think, if equine
brains are capable of thought. that he was

The WEB worm.

SD eclal to the Globe.
PARSONS, Kan, June 19.-Since the
previous report of the ravages OF the so
called web worm, it has been ascertained
that the worms are not possessed Of nil
gratory instincts. When they have eaten
up all within leach Of them without travel
ing any distance they become transferred
to something else, but what that is has not
been ascertained. 1t was at first supposed
that the castor beans were free from the at
tacks OF this pest, but it seems that nothing
green and tender is exempt from their raw
ages. There are a great many fields that
have not been attacked by them, but it ap-
pears but question of time. Some claim
the worm is the same that attacks cotton.
1t is said that corn is only temporarily in
jured, and that when the insect has disap-
peared the corn will continue to grow, and
having good root, which is apparently UNI
injured, will come all right i'll the end.
Others have no faith in that which has been
eaten down and are preparing to replant as
soon as the insect disappears.

LOcusts by the Millions.

New YORK, June 21.-The pest Of
locusts has returned. Reports are to the
effect that the locusts have made their ap-
pearance by millions in the middle of Long
Island. They even cover the roadways,
and are crushed under wagon wheels in
countless numbers. Staten Island and
New jersey are also infested, and in Pros
pect park, Brooklyn, the nuisance is said
to be intolerable. Prof. E. B. Southwick,
the Central park entomologist and botanist,
said to-day ''They are the genuine seven
teen-year kind, and [ am looking for them
in Central park every day now, for it is
their year. Yesterday made thorough
inspection Of the park for them but did not
find any. By next week, however, they
will no doubt be On hand here.

The Veto.

Mayor Rice, as mentioned in the GLoRE
OF Sunday, has signlfed his unwillingness
to attach his name to the ordinance passed
at the last meeting of the city council, linn
ting the number of liquor licenses to 600.
This veto, as 1t virtually is, has not, tap
pears, come from an opposition to such an
ordinance, but to this particular one, which
was hurriedly adopted and appears to have
been incomplete in some respects. There
Is also in the present ordinance lack of
distinction between saloons and wholesale
liquor stores, which, it is claimed, should
have been made. The ordinance will thus
be returned to the council, and it is probable
another one with various notifications will
be adopted and receive the official signature
of the mayor.

SSTkASGs
Commodore Kit}son,s horse Pardee made
q great race at 'Sheepshead Bay against Joe
Cotton, the great winner of the Kentucky
and Coney Island derbies. OF this race the
Spirit says:
When Joe Cotton appeared he moved
rather short. No one liked him the better
for it, and there was q strong reaction
against him. But the move limbered him
out, and when his clothes were removed he
showed in superb condition. Tyrantlooked
rather light, but did no fast work and the
same may be said of Pardee. The start
was good one for all, although Tyrant
was tride slow in getting away. Joe
Cotton led but before they had gone a
quarter Of mile Pardeo took the lead and
from that on it became match between
him and Joe Cotton. At the cherry trees,
half mile from home, Tyrant closed,
but again fell back, and Duffy began fog
ging him, and cheer from the stand an
nounced he was beaten. The finish between
Pafdee and Cotton was fought out every
inch of the way. Once Cotton seemed to
have Pardee beaten, but the latter
rallied. and the pair came to the
post so close that the judges could
not separate them, and declared it a dead
heat. The announcement when the num-
i bers We're run up provoked considerable APP
pIause, but the bulk Of the public were on
Tyrant. and many could scarcely believe
their eyes that The easy winnerof the With
ers and Belmont was beaten. His party
claim that the colt was not rs good as he
was at jerome park, still they evidently eX-
pected him to win, as they backed hin, and
so Gid every one in ANY way acquainted
with the stable. From the time Of the race
we hardly think TyTant was as good colt
as he was at Jerome park, as he won the
Withers in 1:45I, and the Tidal was run
| no faster, comparatively. when we take
| into consideration the fact that Sheepshead
| is more than q second faster than jerome
park Private watches made the first half
mile Of the Tidal 40 seconds, which would
seem TO show that Tyrant was carried off
| his feet for at Jerome park the start in both
his races was slow, At all events, the re-
suit of the race, whether true or not, has
Invested TyTant OF much OF the prestige he
earned at Jerome park, and leaves. it an
open question whether the three-year-olds
of the present season are more than a mod
crate lot. After the dead heat was an
nounced Mai. Hubbard and Dir. Williams
agreed to divide the stakes, as both colts
had valuable engagements, and serious con-
sequences were to be feared in running
it OF.

The Trotter and the Heavy Draft.

The TrOtter and the Heavy Draft.
Farm, Field and Stockman.
The farmer who breeds for trotting
horses is at a great disadvantage. But few
trotting sires produce fast colts from all
kinds Of mares, and training is necessary in
order to develop their qualities. which calls
for cOnveniences such as race tracks, which
the majority of farmers do not possess
Time is an essential in the matter Also fol-
patience and hard work are necessary adj
juncts to the elevation OF the trOtter. His
instinct Of tr0tting is an acquired one, and
must be firmly implanted before it can be
inherent, which, however, is not impossible,
as dOmesticatiOn and training have changed
the nature and instinct of all our animals.
Hence, while the farmer may be the for
tunate breeder OF marvellous trotter, his
chances are similar to ventures in lottery
there being but limited number of prizes
to be secured.
With the heavy drafts the case is differ
ent.. Crossed on our native stock the size
is largely increased, while the endurance
and capacity of such produce is much SUI
perior to the stock from which sprung the
| ignoble dams. For the pillow, the wagon
OF the road, the cross cannot be surpassed,
NiitlC u1iC CocO VI hCCP, CO1lI Will lIC
service rendered, is considerably lessened.
There is another advantage in favor of
heavy drafts which should not be over
looked. 1t is that they are. as rule, very
docile and intelligent, being easily broken
and adapted to all kinds of work.
So marked is the improvement by the
use Of heavy draft sires that single cross
almost entirely obliterates all traces of the
native. and such horses are readily salable
at good prices during all seasons. The
Percherons, Clydesdale, even the Cleveland
Bays (Which are finer in bones), are the
sources which farmers should look for i'm
provement; for, while the thoroughbred
and trotter add vigor, energy and speed
they are lacking in power and docility as
compared with the heavy drafts. the best
strains of which are being imported into
this country every year.

STREET SAYINGS.

The petition for the release from arrest of
Col. Bend during the coming camp is being
| largely signed, and when it has been the
rounds it will be taken by delegation from
| the guard to the proper authorities. A
member of one of the Minneapolis cOmpa-
MES, who was in st. Paul yesterday, said
he was confident that every member of the
guard in that city would sign it.
~
Gov. Hubbard has been approached on
the matter OF the release and asked as to his
action on petition signed by the COM
panies. The governor said to his inter-
viewer, an interested party, that he should
refer all questions of the legality, or fitness,
of the release, to his attorney general of
staff, Col H. G. Hicks of Minneapolis. Col
Hicks, the stern old soldier, is said to be in
clined to the strictest letter of the law, and
it was also said, has expressed opinions
unfavorably to Col. Bend.

The fact that the Great Western band
gives an open air concert every Thursday
evening at Union and Merriam parks has
caused some curiosity and interest in the
minds of some in this community. To Sc
cure the services of such an organization
for concert every week requires some
money. To make the money sure requires
people enough to pay, and this is just the
point of curiosity. Most people, if they re-
member Union and Merriam parks at all,
remember the first as little piece of woods
and the second as gently undulating sec
ton of prairie land without house or a
shanty upon 1t, and apparently one of the
last places On earth for town. To-day
| when the citizen goes out to these two
| parks he finds residences as handsome as
any in the city, and some of them very
costly ones, and large and intelligent pop
ulatiOn. This constitutes the surprise.
The organization and establishment of two
such communities in the suburbs of the city
| in so short time is sufficient ground for
surprise.

The Kings Of the Turf,

| Beyond all question the two great events
| in the trotting world this season will be the
contest between May Cobb, 2:134, and
| Phallas, 2:131S, at Cleveland, July 4; and
the one between the bay gelding, Majollca,
| git, and Phalfas. This last race has been
! arranged to take place at the New York
! Driving park Friday, July 30, for SO, 800
and all the gate money. OF Phallas and
/ Majolica the Turf, Field and Farm thus
4 speaks:
''In the summer of 1883 there was great
rivalry between Majolica and Phallas, both
/ then new to the turf and both possessing
the same blood lines. Majoica was bred
by Mr.. Robert Bonner. and he was got by
Startle, Hambletonian-Star stallion, out of
Jessie Kirk, by Clark Chief. Phallas was
bred by Maj. II. G. Mcdowell of Kentucky,
and he was got by Dictator, a Hamble-
tonian-Star stallion, out Of Betsy TrotWood,
by Clark Chief. Mr.. Nathan Stratus paid a
short price for Majolica, and Mr.. j. |. Case
secured bargain in Phallas. The two
horses met for the first time ON the grounds
of the Driving club of New York, June AZ,
1888, and MajOlica won in 1920, 2:2OM,
2;17. At Albany, June 27, the same year,
Phallas won the first heat in 2:2115 and
MaiOlica the second, third and fourth heats
in 2:191a, 2:20, 2:21. At Washington, j uly
5, Majolica was successful for the
third time, winning in straight heats.
But at Chicago, July 10, Phailas
won the first heat in 9:17.. and was
awarded the second heat. The third, fourth
and fifth heats, after desperate struggle.
were decided in favor Of Phallas and the
time was 2:1619, 2:20, 2:21A. After the
race Majolica went wrong, and strife be-
tween the two celebrated horses ceased for
q while. In the meantime Phallas reduced
the stallion record to 2:134. In the 2:17
class on the grounds Of the Driving club OF
New York two weeks ago Majolica won
with SO much ease in 2:21A, 2:1S, 2:1S19,
that his owner, Mr.. Nathan Straus, again
began to dream Of conquest. Last week he
| issued challenge to trot the winner OF the
stallion race at Cleveland. July 4, for ~, $40
a side. On Tuesday morning we received a
telegram from Mr.. Crawford asking us to
call on Mr.. Straus and try and arrange a
match between Phallas and Majolica. We
saw Mr.. Straus, and all that afternoon were
kept busy telegraphing between New York
and Cleveland. The trouble was to settle
the details. The date finally agreed upon
was Friday, July "a. Lit was first suggested
that the forfeit should be 81, 900, and that
the remainder, $1,000, should be posted
with us ten days before the race; but there
were objections from both sides to this.
Without going through all the particulars,
it may be briefly stated that after the pas
sage of several dispatches the match was
made as above stated. AS both horses are
well known, and as there is an old grudge
to Settle, it is evident it will be contest
for blood.
