How Archer Won the Grand PrIx.

One OF Walton's intimate friends told me the true
story OF his big winning on the Grand Prix aud how
he made 1t. Archer, the famous Jockey, was 10 ride

saving money to buy acertain little farm upon which
OF the place was elO,O00. Walton bought II and then
went to Archer and said: "That farm you are after
Ii mine. It shall be yours on certain conditions,
employer" "What are the conditioner" asked
Archer. "You arc to win that race and satisfy ine
beyond question beforehand that you can win T. :
between FOxhal and the best OF his competitors al
daybreak oil the morning OF the race" TO make q
long story short, Archer took the bait. Tips OF nfy
pounds sierng more or less made II all right with
the trainer of the opposing horse. At daybreak ol
the race my there was regular heat between inc
two, With Walton as the only spectator. F0xhal
was shown to he an easy winner. Walton went oul

We may sneer at Senator Sherman for
waving the bloody shirt. But sectional
prejudice kept the Republican party in power
for almost quarter Of century. Unfortu-
nately misguided Democrats during the
Civil War and reconstruction period too often
deserved censure. There is plenty of cam
paigu material in the past history OF the
Democracy for Republican writers and speak
ers to work at, and they would be foolish in
deed TO abandon the war cry with which they
have so often won. On the Civil War issue
the Democracy is always on the defensive,
Sherman knows that the sectional issue Is
tho SAT, ST one for his party to raise. Better
that than the hopeless task of defending it;

ton.

the same purposes they We're employed

the door of communication is at the
head of the bed. 1t was in this room
that Jefferson died, and not one OF the

posed. The study was the favorite re-
treat of Jefferson, and the favorlte
chair is still in the accustomed place.
A large wooden chair with broad arm,

wrote. All about the floor in the neigh
horhood of the chair are ink spots
where the sometimes careless hand OF
the statesman sent his ink lying
These spots are faint with age, and be

1t Is no exaggeratlon to say that guests

massive walls are little places about the
size of the lower berth in q sleeping

lowed to the occupant to dress in. and
altogether the bed-chambers are pos
sessed of but little to commend them.
The passages are very narrow on the
second and third fioors-too narrow to
permit two persons TO walk abreast.
The ceilings are low; there are hooks

cence of everything downstairs has its
economical compensation in the close

Great Ships.

The Great Eastern, the largest YES
sci ever constructed, is to be at New
Orleans during the Exposition. The
engineer VINO designed it was ahead Of
his time; but his foresight is being vim
dicated by the steamship builders of the
present day. The tendency is toward
larger and still larger vessels. The
CITY ofRome, the Arizona, and Cimbria
are simply giants compared with the
ships built twenty years ago; but the
greatest changes are in the engines, for
in war ships these care becoming more
powerful in each new addition to the
foreign navies. The largest engine
now atioat is that of the Italia, which is
of ten thousand horsepower. But the
Amphion. new war vessel to be added
in time to the English navy, is to have
an engine of nineteen thousand horse
power. There is a good deal of appre-
hension about the speed of the new war
vessels we are building. It is admitted
they will be slower than the fastest En-
glish steamships; but they will proba-
bly, be much faster than any English
war vessels. This is an important fact,
as in case of war our navy will be so
small that the natural desire of its otfi-
GERS will be to get away from the
enemy. The business of our cruisers
will be to capture the defenseless mer-.
chant vessels of our antagonists. DEM
