ST.. NICHOLAS for August is truly an
out door number, and the children in
their rambles in the woods and hills will
find no more acceptable companion than
ST. Nicholas. The short biography of
Beethoven is very interesting and tells of
the eccentricities of the great musician,
perhaps the greatest musician. One of
the most interesting pieces is the one en-
titled Personally Conducted, j" by Frank
r. Stockton, which deals chiefly with
Pisa and Rome The view on the Pincian
Hills charming and life like, and will re-
call to many of the old children many
pleasant afternoons spent there amidst
the shade listening to the military band
which pla-s there every afternoon. The
view of Castle San Angelo from the Tiber
is excellent, and represents the Castle
almost to the life. 1t is hard to select the
best from so much good The parent
who can afford ST. Nicholas for his
children and does not, deprives them of
much pleasure and instruction, and the
little ones ought not to be SO deprived.

THE RECORD LOWERED.

At Cleveland yesterday, Maud S. low
cred her record, and her record was the
record Of the trotting turf. The sorrel
mare is the wonder of the age, and il is
not improbable that she will again reduce
the record. She is as vel young mare,
being only eleven years old, and in her
prime. When Goldsmith's Maid got her
record of 2:l4 she was eighteen years OF
age, and she had done more campaigning
than any animal ever on the turf. 1t is
possible that had Mr. Bonner after his
purchase OF her done with her as he has
with Maud S. she, too, would have had a
record down under the teens. She has
one thing to her credit that marks her as
probably the greatest trotter that ever
walked the turf, which is three hundred
and thirty heats in 2:30 or better to her
credit. Such a record shows an endur-
ance almost beyond belief Maud S. is
the wonder and admiration OF all who
love good horse, but the Maid holds
the place of places in the heart.
But the performance of Maud S. at
Cleveland yesterday was wonderful, for
it is but eighteen years since Dexter made
his record on the Fashion Course, /. l.,
and but twenty-seven years since Flora
Temple beat 20 at Kalamazoo. In 81,
when Dexter made his record, it was
thought that another century would
dawn before it would be surpassed. To-
day there are dozen or two horses with
better records than Dexter's, and there
are seven which have either equaled
or beaten the Maids time. Peo-
pie are now looking forward to
the time when two minutes will
possibly be made by some trotter, and
such an expectation is not without foun-
dation. Johnson at a pacing gait has a
record OF 2:06l4, if We remember rightly,
going to sulky; while Westmont, at the
same gait, but with a running mate, has
Il record of 2:02. Westmont is a trotting
bred horse, too, being by Almont, 33, out
of Alexander's Abdallah, who was also
the sire of Goldsmith's Maid. Whenever
a record has been lowered heretofore, it
has usually been done by new horse.
Not 80 with Maud s. For one day. it is
true, she had the palm taken from her by
JAY -Eye-See, but she won it again on
the day following his victory. The
record of the Maid was heated by Rarus
al San Francisco when General Grant re-
turned from his trip around the world;
and SO il has been until there came along
Maud s., who is justly entitled 10 the APP
pellation-Queen of the Turf. She made .
the record, and she lowers the record.
There was one other thing in connec-
tsen with this great trot of yesterday, and
that was the absence of pool selling,
thing that is a detriment to all genuine
sport. And will anyone say that the trot
at Cleveland yesterday was without in

terest and dull? Would there were more
like Mr.. Bonner.
HIS RESTING PLACE.

There has been much speculation as to
where General Grant shall finally rest.
He himself indicated three places, first
among them being West Point. The OBJ
lection to this is that his wish that Mrs.
Grant should rest beside him when she
shall have laid down to sleep forever,
cannot be complied with, and so the idea
of West Point was abandoned. Then
came suggestions of New York and Cen
tral Park, and then Illinois, and finally
Riverside Park was selected. Where the
tomb of General Grant shall be is ques
ton of interest to the nation, and among
all the suggestions that have been made,
we have seen none so good and worthy
OF consideration as that made by the
AHd-Cdlifornid of the 9th inst.
at would seem to be appropriate that
the dust of the man who preserved the
country should rest beside that of the
man who was the father of it. Why not
bury General Grant at Mount Vernon ?"
No more appropriate place could be Sc
lected. General Grant could there rest
as peacefully as does Washington.
Who that has ever visited Mount
Vernon can forget the air OF peace
and calmness that there reigns? Those
two simple and unpretentious coffins con-
tanning the remains of George and Martha
Washington are fitting for their grand
and simple lives, and are far more elo-
quent than the sculptured tombs of
cathredral aisles. 1t is to be regretted
that Mount Vernon was not sooner sug-
gested as 4 resting place for General
Grant

An Excursion Party.

The steamer Rosa Belle gave an ex-
cursion last Sunday, and il was the
pleasure of several Hartford people to
be aboard. Quite bevy of gay and
vivacious young ladies graced the party
with their bright presence and contrib
uted great enjoyment to the occasion.
Their gay laughter and merry words
were the light and life OF the trip, and
the enjoyment they afforded was so
delightful, 80 pleasurable, and only that
which could emanate from the pure
heart of young woms nhood. Full of
the life of refined girlhoOd, their every
word and action seemed to be pOr-
trsyal of the guileless nature that
blOOmed beneath their winsoIre faces
The day was somewhat cool, but not
unpleasant, and spriDgtime seemed
only lingering for chance TO cover all
nature with flowers. The leafless trees
swayed their long branches aud the
sun softly kissed their brown and with
cred features, as if anxious by this gen.
tie csress to kiss back their life and
bloom. An elegant dinner was served
upon the boat and partaken of with
relish. The officers of the boat were
very courteous and kind to the voyagers
and gave every attention TO promote
the pleasure of all. 1t is the intention
of the managers to give another excuI-
sion some Saturday within the next
month. when balmy spring throws her
drapery of flowers and green leaves
over the landscape, and circumstances
will be more suspicious. Several gen.
tlemen from our city were aboard, and
the following are the young ladies,
chapeloned by Mr.. and Mrs. F. f.
Kimbley, who Were SO gracious as to
contribute their company to the Occa-
sion: Misses Lila and Adah Baird,
Josie Duke, Lizzie Gregory, Bertha
Gibson, Ellie Hill, Tula Pendleton and
Mary Nall.

Destructive Fire.

On last Saturday evening the dwell
ing and contents of James Petty, living
near Barrett's Ferry, were consumed by
fire; also the furniture and plumber of
his father, Mr.. Pinkney Petty. Mr..
Petty aud his father were absent from
home and nothing was saved except
two beds, three chairs and stand
table, by his wife. His meat-house
was also burned, containing all his
meat, gearing &c. The loss falls very
heavy on Mr.. Petty AS he has lost near.
ly every thing he possessed. The cit
liens of his neighborhood should help
him out in this his time of need.
