Gifts of Poison.

1t is time that respectable merchants
combined with consumers for the suppress
sion of all gift, prize and lottery schemes in
connection with the sale of articles of mer-
chandise. The schemes are not only de-
moralizing to legitimate business and to the
morals of the immunity, but in the ex-
tent IN which tBs, are being carried in the
sale of articles OF food have become q source
of great danger to the public health. They
are, Lo matter in what form they appear,
nothing more or less than devices to
swindIe honest and unsuspecting people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some in
stances the officers of the law have taken
hold of the matter. In New York, and
also in Chicago, parties who in this way
offered gifts TO purchasers of their packages
have recently been arrested upon indict-
ments for lottery swIndiing. The latest
candidates. both for public execratson and
criminal prosecution, are the manufacturers
of the alGrs baking powders, who are both.

The three-year- trotting race was
surprise TO all when il was finished. General
BlAckford, the handsome little horse from
Kentucky. was every boyd's favorite and
was named as q sure winner. Consequently
the money was ali up on Blsckford, with but
few takers for the field. There was quite a
bit of running in the first heat.
Maud F. drew the pole and came
in second; Blackford first; Harry
Noble, third; Trademark. fourth; Emma
Balch. fifth; Lady Ida, distanced. l.. T..
Kinney had drawn Fanny X. The next
heat was "corker" 20 three of the horses,
who were shut out by Harry Noble. and
General Blackford had to do some rapid
running to save his distance. The third
and fourth heats were the same, Harry
Noble pulling away from his competitors
with ease, winning the race and making a
splendid record for three-year-old.

THE FATE OF THE COWARD.

A farmer down in Pennsylvania went
to the well one hot day TO draw some
water, and when the old oaken bucket
rose from the well all dripping with cool
ness, large snake raised his head from
its moss covered depths and looked at the
man with the air Of snake that was all
powerful glad 10 get up into the sunshine
again. The farmer "hollered" and let 60
all holts. The windlass few round like a
buzz saw. The handle caught the man
two most awful ones on the jaw before
he could dodge breaking his jaw. knock
ing out two teeth and making him bite
his tongue clear in two. When the hired
man descended the well and captured the
snake it was only an eel that had not
only no idea Of biting the farmer. but was
rather a good thing 10 bite itself. So
they bit ii. Moral: Il Is good deal bet
