Herod's Grand Dam.

To the Editor OF the Globe,
My little note of inquiry concerning
DR.. Bell, with view to learning the
breeding of Herod's grand dam. has
brought me letters from many states
and territories. The indications are that
the fac;s, now very near the surface,
will compel me to modify somewhat my
long entertained opinion that this mare
was of pacing origin. My opinion was
based upon the fact that Herod can pace
fast, while there is no pacing blood in
his known ancestral lines. My brother
breeders will be inclined to laugh at me
If they get chance to attribute Herod's
speed to Hambietonian cross, but that
will make Ito difference. | am going
for the truth, whether it leads me into
The Hambletonian camp OF the woods.
The following quotation from letter
written by G. l.. Bristol, Robare, Mont,
Is fair sample of present indications:
'"The grand dam Of Herod was one of a
pair Of trotting mares, purchased in
Orange county, New York, and taken
to Madison, Wis. l have the
history of these mares complete to time
of foaling dam of Herod, dating from

Bell Boy.

1t now appears that the stallion Bell
Boy, whose sale was reported in these
columns short time ago, did not change
hands as was reported, for $685. This
denial of the price given out to the public
is made by the Kentucky Stock Farm, a
paper whose editor knows what he is
talking about, and there is no room to
doubt that in this case the information
comes from reliable sources. The prac-
tice of misquOting prices on trotting
stock disposed of at private sale has be-
come very common one, especially
with Kentuckians, and so marked is the
discrepancy between Kentucky prices,
as reported in the papers, and those OBJ
tanned for animals of exactly the same
breeding elsewhere, that one Northern
breeder, Mr.. Emery, of Ohio, has called
the public's attention to the tact, using
She alleged big Kentucky prices
as an argument why buyers should
patronize his farm and get the same
blood for half the money. This brought
The Kentuckians to their senses, and
now the papers of that state have taken
The matter up in earnest and are calling
Oh the horsemen to get on the right
track again before it is too late. 1t is
better to quote no prices, as is the rule
at WOODBURY., where everything goes
for good price, than to quote prices
that are not obtained. 1t may look well
Oh paper to do so, but one result is to
drive away would-be purchasers, who
are scared by these bogus prices.

The House Outlook.

The Calendar of the House shows
that all Of the working days of next
week have been parcelled out among
the Committees on tie Pacific Rail :.
road, Territories, Foreign Affairs,
Public Lands and Agriculture, for ac-
ton upon the measures reported by
them; but the actual disposition of
time is likely to be very different,
judging from the proceedings of the
past week. The legislative work will
open with the House constructively
in the Legislative day of Wednesday,
April 4. Taylor's proposition to GO
into the committee of the whole to
debate the Direct tax bill, will proba-
bly, meet with approval, and for day
or two fictitious progress will be made.
When the phase is reached where the
motion to order the previous question
is in order, if any regard
is had for the sentiments expressed
in the opening of the tax
bill it will become evident that the
conclusion is as far of as on last Tues
day morning, when the bill was first
called up. Faint hope is felt in some
quarters that the Appropriation Com
mittee will be able to break the dead
lock by severing the consideration of
one appropriation bill now on the cal
endar; but the Republican members
profess to be willing to antagonize any
such effort, and they undoubtedly
have it in their power to do SO sue
cessfully.

A Hot Chase.

A young man named Edward Il.
Clifford was placed behind the iron
bars last night for disturbing the
peace. He was arrested by Officer
Bowler on Fourth street after long
chase. He was first pursued by Off
Ger Grubb, who fired five shots after
him, but without effect. George
Douglas, colored lad in the employ
of I'll. l.. Morris & Co., will to-day pre-.
fer charge of assault with intent to
rob against him. Douglas claims
that Clifford met him on the
street last night and knocked
him down, saying, with an oath,
81 know you have some money" He
then kicked him on the leg and
started off on run. Douglas got up
and ran after him and Policeman
Grubb then joined in the chase. He
emptied his revolver in attempting to
make Clifford stop, and Officer Bowler
attracted by the shots, also appeared
on the scene and joined in the pur-
suit. The latter officer finally run him
into livery stable and found him
crouching under manger. Clifford
when brought to the stationclaimed en-
tire innocence. He said he had never
seen Douglas before, but finding
Douglas running after him, he took te
his heels in order to keep out of the
way. When the policeman shot al
him he ran all the harder, because he
thought somebody wanted to kill
him. To say the least against the
prisoner it was evident he was in
| toxicated. at5 D. 7

New Pension schemes.

New YoRK, April 8.-The organic
alton of the veteran soldiers and sail
ors which terms itself the Veteran As
socia'ion of the Regular Army and
Navy of the United States, has re-
Gently been agitating the matter of Sc
curing bounty lands and the means
for improving the same from the
United States Government. The
organization held a meeting
to-day, delegates from various
Grand Army posts being pres
ent and adopted petition to Con-
gress. 1t is urged that the thousands
of veterans would like to take and
cultivate bounty lands, but are unable
to do so unless fina ncially assisted by
the Government. The petition
ers urge that Congress pass an
Act emitting all honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors
the assistance needed to enable
the veterans and their families
to reach, occupy and cultivate bounty
lands. And, in the event Of the pass
age of such a bill the Government will
officially locate the lands, lay out
highways, build schools and furnish
each settler with small house, team
agricultural implements, seed, etc
In return the settlers would repay the
loan to the Government with interest
at three per cent. and would pledge
themselves to serve as militia of theii
several States.

They Made Up.

Officer Bosqui run in gay young
man last night between the hours of
IL and 12 for an alleged insult to a
young lady. He was locked up under
the general charge Of misdemeanor,
but the damsel did not seem to con-
slider the young mans advances 80
very offensive after all, for i'm
mediately after his incarceration she
set about to effect his release. After
interceding for him at the police station
and aseertaining that it would require
$40 to liberate him, she applied to a
friend who came to the rescue with
the required specie. When last seen
the devoted couple were promenad-
ing down the street arm in arm. The
$40 will no doubt be returned to the
bailor this forenoon at Judge Austin'i
court, as>the young Lady win not ap
pear to sustain the complaint.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Senate
will probably take up the South Da-
kota bill tomorrow and try to dis
pose OF it by Wednesday night. The
bill to establish the Bureau of Animal
Industry is made a special order for
Thursday. When these two meas
ures are disposed of the Shoemaker
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to invest in Government
bonds per cent of the fund held for
the redemption of the notes of Ma
tional banks "failed in liquidation or
reducing currency" will be taken up.
These three measures have been ac-
corded the right of way by the Caucus
Committees. The Ere edman Bank
bill is the unfinished busi-
ness for the morning hours,
and Blair's Confederate Preferences
bill, which awaits the. fofmality OF
second reading, is in position to come
up at any moment-with the prospect
as to its fate as uncertain as the time
of its appearance, or direction and
length of its debate. There is pos
sibility that the Fisheries Treaty may
command attention in the executive
session during the week; also he
nomination of Consul General Rath-
bone for consul at Paris. This latter
affair has borrowed interest in its pos
sible bearing upon the executive ses-
sion question.

Democratic as we'll as the Republican
ranks, constantly oscillate to and fr
between the principal centers, ant
are able almost at moments notlc'
to turn this element in any desired
direction. Although as class the,
are performing the bulk OF the manue
labor here Of all kinds, having tht
advantage in that respect of pool
whites, they are restless and far from
being satisfied, and constitutes for
midable obstacle in the way of any
general movement for the benefit ol
the State at large. The class of white
men in the Northern States who
have some property saved, and girls
and boys growing up, and who want
to emigrate to where they may secure
farms in the same Deighborhood-to
settle for life, in fact-do not want to
go where they are liable to have
negroes for their only neighbors, with
the black children the sole associates
of their own. They are men who be-
lieve in the negro's title to all the
rights of humanity, and many of them
have proved the sincerity of their pro-
LESSONS by risking their lives on the
battlefield in the effort to secure for
them these rights But they also be-
lieve as Abraham Lincoln did, that
the mutual association of the whites
and blacks, on an equality in the
same community is an incongruity
that will work evil. AT all events il
is distasteful. 1t is forced upon the
people here by the very fact of the
pressure of large proportion Of the
colored population, and they are
wisely doing the best they can uuder
the circumstances. Long association
with the colored people of course
removed much of the natural aver
sion, and again, the negroes know
just how far to go in their dealings
with them, and they are at peace.
You will find the colorcd men here
eager to question strangers in regard
to Brazil, California, South America,
or any portion of the world where
there is unoccupied land, and you
will draw the conclusion that they
could easily be induced to- emigrate
colonize; but experience shows that
it is not to their liking. They have
plenty of muscle, but as a class lack
the courage and the fortitude and per-
sistence involved in the enterprise
of building up new communities in a
Wilderness under new and discour-
aging surroundings. which is SO
marked characteristic of the Anglo
Saxon race. They are moral towards
also, as a class-a result, doubtless,
of their long subsection to another
race, and are fearful of somehow
getting on the chains again. So,
having solid and tangible foothold
here, their people enjoying almost
monopoly Of the manual labor to be
performed, and holding most of the
desirable situations requiring manual
labor, rapidly increasing in mum mbers,
nothing but a heavy immigration of
whites from the other States or
Europe can prevent their outnum-
BERN ! the white population here in
course of time. This is what can
not help feeling, isa an insurmount-
able barrier to the success of the inn
scheme the real estate men
have inaugurated. B.

Captain Blanding is making fine
progress in his water development in
Sepulveda cai1on, near Santa Monica,
for the Soldiers Home. He began by
digging a well, which at q depth OF
nine feet struck water. He then be-
gan to siphon out the water at the
rate OF 5000 gallons an hour, and is
compelled to keep it up that the
diggers may proceed with their work.
This is certainly good showing, as
the canon is perfectly dry. 1t should
also be remembered that this we'll is
only about four feet across, while the
width of the cafion at that point is
I nearly 100 feet, which goes to show
