It will be seen that this large amount
has been Won by twelve owners. 1t does
not by any means represent all the win
nings of their stables, but simply the
| prizes captured by one or two horses IN
each stable. Since the 10Th of July Ban
Fox, Electric, Pontia;, Ida Hope, Miss
Woodford and Joe Cotton have added
more money to their totals. Mr.. Leonard
has won $33, 445 with two of his string,
and has won more than $4,000 in all
so far this season. Green Morris has
pocketed $40, 800 by the victories of
Bersan and Favor alone, and has earned
In all over $40, 900 in prizes. The three
ear old colt, Volante, has won $14,38O
for Lucky Baldwin, and the remainder
of his string have earned about SID, 600
for him. In addition he Won $40, 600
over GrIsmer's victory In the heat race at
Chicago. That lucky colt, Joe Cotton,
who captured SIS, $50 for Mr.. Williams,
is not the only bread winner Of the
stable. Moiestv, Lizzie Dryer and Ida
Hope furnished 1884, l5 to Mr.. Corrigan,
and Irish Pat, who won the Iroquois
sake at Saratoga on Thursday, has alao
added $1,000 to Mr.. Corrigsn's bank
account. His chestnut colt Hazlrus hos
won seven races, and In all Mr.. Co,rlgan
has won $4,000. ME-. b. a. Haggin
earned ST., 1872 by the victories of Ty-
rant and Hldalgo, and about $4,000 more
by the RAINING of Ben Ali and Others Of
his stable. The Dwyer Bros nstted up
to July 10Th, SIS, no from the races of
Miss Woodtord and Portland, while
George Kenny, Buffalo, Detective and
others have swelled the amount to $780,

THE PROFITS OF RACING.

1t will be seen from tho foregoing that
some of the principal stables cara a large
amount of money in prizes. This. strange
as 1t may seem, would not be sufficient TO
pay their expenses, and they have to rely
upon successful betting to make their
bank accounts comfortable, unless they
have some other means of livelihood. A
racing stable like any mentioned In the
above winning list costs q fortune to
maintain. Every year MI. lorlllard, for
instance, has an immense stable OF racers.
Some of his stock may not win a racs in
the year, as, for instance, Colula, Hou-
s~atonic, Krishna, Wlnfred, Garnet, CJ-
clops and Others of his string this year.
| These have to bs taken care of Just as
we'll as the winning horses. The year.
lings must be maintained with great care
ana soma of them may never graduate On
a race course. Than there Is the stock
farm and the blooded horses thereon, and
il is not going beyond the fac,sto say that
Mr.. p. Lorillard's employees and their
village small enough for their
accommodation. There Is a great
deal of ill luck attending the
training and rAisingof t%orte,, and the
total cost Of an establishment ike Mr..
Lorillard's amounts to over $500, 900 a
year. He has a large fortune, however,
and when his turf winnings and the
money obtained In prizes are below his
expenses 1t does not pinch him to draw a
check. He often spends a loo of money
on a youngste', and after repeated trials
finds him to be uselets, He then gets
rid of the youugster, Only to fnt him
turn out a ratehorse in other hsn6s,
This was 30 in the cases of Exile, Topsy
and I~nconstant. Tho expenses Of the

The st. Landry Democrat thinks that
a bureau of immigration would do
more good to Louisiana than one of
immigration. The Democrat is about
right on that point. The importation
of poor men, laborers without means,
appears to be a very unwise scheme, at
present.
What is the object in bringing more
poor people into Louisiana? Are there
not enough poor tOilers here, now
Are they needed to still further reduce
the price Of labor, by increasing the
supply, already too great?
Men of means, of wealth, who can i'm
prove the idle lands, and furnish en-
ployment to the toilers now in Louisi-
ana, compose the proper immigration
that this State now demands.
1t is folly to induce poor labOrers to
come, from distance, expecting to find
a demand for their services, and learn
after landing here that they are no bet
ter, if not worse, off here than they
were in their natal home.-Thibodaux

Recently in an appeal case before the
district court here, we heard witnesses
swear right against each other-some-
BODY certainly missed the truth. The
ateamboat Blanks and British ship Vic
4oria collided Il few days ago at New
Orleans, and the Blanks went down.
Testimony on the side Of the Victoria
shows that she was backing when the
oollision took place; and testimony on
the side of the Blanks shows that boat
was backing when the collision took
niace. Now what puzzles US is, how
Sa,ere could be any collision when both
boats were backing away from eacE
ether. Reason and the evidence being
considered, we do not believe there was
any collision at all it was an optical IL
Susion-the Blanks sunk, on its own
s,otion, and the fact had to be account
ed for.

One would suppose that there is too
much of every thing else in the world
but money. The great majority are
trying to avoid those occupations which
produce articles of subsistence and
for clothing; they want to make money
and nothing else. They consider money
the root Of all good. If everybody had
plenty of money and nothing else, of
course they would be perfectly happy
and want nothing else.

The usual winter quota Of news is
coming from Europe of the miserable,
freezing, starving poor; "and it is hor-
gible to read how the different depots
Cor the distribution of food are besieged
nv masses of people SO hungry that the
meat is eaten raw Immediately after its
distribution The cause of this is too
much population; there is not land
ssnOngh for all to farm, and they are de-
pendent upon the vicissitudes of manu-
4,acture and trade. Under the same
circumstances we would have starva-
t;.,n here: but our unoccupied land is
refuge for the poor. The greatest enc
mics to the country are those who would
save all this land taken up at once, and

,DIToR DEMOCRAT :

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Your philippe and that of the
sNatchitoches Review published in a
recent number of your paper, against
modern GALLows' Religion, seem to be
timely and in place.
The fact to which you refer, most GER
tainIy brings the teachings of the great
Nozarene into contempt and ridicule'
And cannot do otherwise than damage
if not destroy the morals and religious
inclinations Of the masses which gather
about the gibbet. They hear the con-
fession of the vile wretch who has spent
his years in the blackened holes and
dens of crime: and who when he finds
that all the avenues to the qualification
of his accursed passions and habits are
forever cut off, and he can serve the
devil no longer; sends for a minister OF
the Gospel, either Catholic or Protes-
tant who shortly prepares him for the
home of the morally "pure, beautiful
and good, by getting religion" through
faith or else by the solemn rights OF the
Catholic Church. And then he stands
upon the scaftold and details his crime
or crimes and winds up by saying that
he is ready and is going straight to
heaven. You are correct when You say
substantially that such scenes and man
ifestations encourage men to sin and to
"wax worse and worse, deceiying and
being deceived" Seine who see and
hear eveu desire to die such a glorioas
death. ~
Now permit me to quote a passage
from your article, viz: ut is preposte-
rous that villain by mere belief, an
educated belief that has been drummed
into him by the preachers should go
to heaven, and a comparatively good
man whose powers of belief are not so
accommodating, should go to hell. 1t
is about time this faith business should
be reduced within reasonable bounds
and the doctrine of good works have q
chance"
Now we have yeti learn that "faith"
can be drummed idto any man, any
more than love. Historic faith may be
drilled into a man but not a faith
that Christian faith. Men can
be taught by preachers to sag that they
have faith but to say it is not enough.
They must prove 1T by reformed heart
and life. Hence it is written by the
ap ostle James, I'd chapter 18th verse !:
"Though man say lie hath faith, and
have not works can faith save him ~
Again at the nth and 18th verses :
even so, faith if it have not works is
dead being alone" 'tShow me
thy faith without thy works, and will
show thee my faith by my works"
ST. Paul says 4 cor. 10: o Though
I have all faith so that / could remove
mountains and have not charity, Qove)
I 4nl ,othing." Hundreds of such pas
,a&55 could be given to show that true
genuine faith must be demonstrated by
good works.
You doubtless see the philosophy of
faith, in the Christian religion. As it is
the grand central power in this great
world of business, so it is the mighty
force in christianity, where it is genu-
inc. Faith produces repentance, drives
a man away from sin, brings about a
pure life, and an exalted love for Christ
and for all men-nothing will produce
love but confidence. Hence we can't
get along without it. Let our preach
ers then be governed accordingly.
Very Respectfully,
JAMES E. BRADLEY.
