STANFORD'S STABLES BURNED.
VALUABLE TROTTERs DESTROYED BY
FIRE AT THE PALo ALTO FARM IN
CALIFORNIA.

CALIFORNIA.
San Francisco Letter, April IS.
Fire at the Palo Alto farm last night
burned portion of the stables of Sena-
tor Leland Stanford. The following
horses were roasted to death: Clifton
Belle, Rexford, Emma Robson, Troub-
adour, Lowell and Howard. NorIaine,
which has trotting record, the fastest
for yearling in the world, is not yet
dead, but it is impossible for ber to live.
Two or three others will probably die.
The loss will reach at least 100000.
Only few minutes before the flames
were discovered in the stable the watch
man made his usual rounds and found
everything in order. Palo Alto, Man
zanita and Norlaine were at one end of
the burning building, and when the en-
ployes saw that no efforts could save
the other horses, they did what they
could toward rescuing the three named.
The halter was taken from PaIo Altos
neck and the horse was turned loose and
driven from the stall. But the glare had
him so that he made no at
tempt to reach the corral, and it was
only with difficulty that he was restrain
ed from rushing into the flames. He
may die. A number Of other stablemen
rescued Norlaine and Manzanita. The
first named was so badly injured that it
was considered mercy to kill her, and
the fastest yearling in the world was
put out Of pain. Manzanita had been
burned about the head, but is not seri-
ously injured, and with the care imme-
diately bestowed she will probably re-
cover.
The horses in the other sheds were
turned loose and driven into the corral.
They were wild with fright, and one or
two escaped in the dark. \ number of
them galloped off to the trotting farm,
a mile distant, where they huddled in
with the other animals there
The fire was rapid, and an hour after
5he outbreak of the flames the shed was
n ruins and the unfortunate animals
we're 30 many heaps Of bonos.

THE BLOODY CRIMES.

Cincinnati Commercials Gazette
When Senator Vest, OF Missouri, had
the imprudence to make the usual noises
about the election of President Hayes,
and raised the usual cry of fraud, it hap
pened thai Senator Sherman was present
and knew all about it and had the docu-
ments.
The country finds it difficult to COM
prehend the truth touching the roaring
of the Democratic party about the Elec-
toral Commission, and what that party is
pleased to term the fraud Of 1876. The
plain truth is there were just enough
Southern States saved from the general
Democratic fraud in the South-the most
bloody and Infamous in the history OF the
Republic-to elect Hayes.
The State of Louisiana was saved By
the application of wise and humane
regulation throwing out the votes of par
ishes that had been shown to be influi-
enced by political murder. Upon the
failure to realize Electoral votes upon the
usufruct of murder sufficient to elect Mr..
Tilden, the Democratic partisans threat
ened civil war, and would have started
one if it had not been for the formidable
fame of General Grant.
The history of Louisiana since 1876
perfectly justifies the Electoral Commits
sion. The Democrats there no longer
deny their crimes. They are nuilifiers OF
the Constitution, and they disfranchise
the colored people by assassina ting suffi-
cient Of them to terrorize the rest, and
they propose to go on doing this. The
opportunity Of displaying the document
AIRY history on this subject was not neg
lected by Senator Sherman.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

When the will is ready the feet are
light.
Never anger made good guard for it
self.
Anger is a transient hatred, or at least
very like it.
In moderating, not in satisfying de-
sires, lies peace.
To be angry is to revenge the fault of
Others upon ourselves.
The road by preeepts is tedious; By
example, short and efiicaciOus.
To see what is right and not do it is
want cf courage or of principle.
One must study to know, know to un-
derstand. understand to judge.
Violence in the voice is often only the
death-rattle of reason in the throat.
He best keeps from anger who remem-
bers that God is always looking upon him.
Clap an extinguisher on your irony, if
you are unhappily blest with vein of it.
Judge not hastily: it is better to sus-
pend our opinion than to retract an as
sertion.
Labor to purify thy thoughts; if thy
thoughts are not i'll, neither will thy ac-
tions be 50.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character: you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
Habit, like the ivy of our walls, ce-
mcnts and c0nsolidates that which it
cannot destroy.
a dull head thinks of no better way
to show himself wise, than by suspect
ing everything in his way.
The greatest atheists are, indeed, the
hypocrites, which are ever handling holy
things, but without feeling.
They asked Lokman. the fabulist.
From whom did you learn manners? He
answered, From the unmannerly.
WOuldst thou learn to die well, learn
first to live well. Acknowledge thy ben
efts by the return of other benefits, but
never revenge thy injuries.
No company is far preferable to bad,
because we are more apt to catch the
vices of others than their virtues, as dis
ease is far more contagious than health.

The lines engraven on his heart.

And pleasures sweet without alloy,
With fairest blossoms cover thee;

The OLD ways, laws and habits of
Delaware are remarkable. Is it any
wonder that those who live outside
of the State laugh at the ante-bellum
laws that are still in force. The two
great parties are not much ahead of
the antiquated laws and that vener-
able and Interchangeable document
known as the Constitution. The
old custom of the counties electinp
the executive committees, seems TO
be very pokey way to manage this
affair. There was a delightful illus
tration of this last Saturday when
all persons politically inclined met at
New Castle. The two factions clash
ed and the results known and
nothing to the credit of the party.
This business of dropping out one
or more hundreds at the wish of the
executive committee has returned
upon the party like n curse. The
beginning of this was in 1880, when
the rotation was changed by the
wiles of a politician, and there has
been trouble since. This rabble
that is carted to New Castle to swell
the mob, ought to be left inside the
walls at New Castle
The outcome of the meeting of
Saturday is known without discuss
ing it here. There is two sides, and
both are entitled TO a hearing.
The two executive committees
must conflict. The two factions are
bitter, when no good cause can be
given. A reconciliation is talked of,
but there is probably but little
hopes, 1t is impossible for two
parties TO be in party and expect
to win. The time is at hand when
party rules need changing badly,
and sooner the better
