RIDGEwooD, N. j., May 16.--As Jacob
Ferguson studied the dim twilight from
the piazza of his house near here, a
stranger mounted on his only horse
passed out of his gate. Ferguson was
so much surprised that the stranger was
a good distance away before he remem-
bered that it would be well to endeavor
to recover the animal The thief gave
his pursuess the slip, and passed through
the village at an easy gait to avoid slis-
picion, even stopping to purchase cigar
at the village store, but as he reached
the outskirts he started on a run, and
when last heard of was on the road to
Suffern. The horse was not recovered.

On the upper turn Exile went to the
front and came into the home stretch
half a length before Prince Royal, who
was two lengths before Juggler. The
struggle from this point was very ex-

demon, but in vain: he could not get
up to Exile, who III the last farlOng in-
creased his advantage and amid tremen-
dous cheering he won the race by two
lengths.

tary of the Interior Bussey. The party
from New York and Philadelphia came
under the special escort of George w.
Boyd and T.. 4. Postlethwait, Of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
An elaborate dinner in courses with
appropriate wines was served at im-
provised tables on the lawn. Speeches
were made. The secretary of state was
called on to respond to the toast "The

ATr. Blaine's speech.
Mr.. Blaine was greeted with cheers.
He said that he was somewhat in the
family of the president and he did not
care to discuss family matter at great
length in public. He could not refrain
from saying, however, that the people
of the United States would find Presi-
dent Harrison above all just man. He
was capable of administering the gov
ernment of the United States in a non
partisan way, and before Democrats and
Republicans he wound recognize as first
in right and highest in honor citizen of
the United States.
Mr.. Blame then paid very pretty
compliment to Gen. Agnus. He SAID
that no colonist had ever become more
thoroughly a citizen of the country of
his adoption. Gen. Agnus was at once
agreat Frenchman and a great American.

Coming down the near stretch Ham
over and Juggler were racing side by
side three lengths before Prince Royal
and Exile. The others were in a rnck
tailed by Richmond, and in this way
they went by the stand. At the lower
end Juggler showed little in front and
he was first past the quarter post nose
in front of Hanover. Going up the
back stretch Juggler improved his lead
and the others closed up on Hanover.
Half way up the stretch Hanover be-
gan to fall back, and cry Of Hanover
beaten" issued from 10000 throats. 1t
was true. He was soon passed by Prince
Royal and Exile. Juggler was still IN
front at the half mile post, half length
before Prince Royal, who was the same
distance before Exile, Hanover being a
bad fourth.

There was quite delay at the post,
Exile and Prince Royal being rather
fractions. They were ranged in the fol-
lowing order, Juggler having the rail,
Terra Gotta next, and Richmond, Exile,
Elkwood, Prince Royal and Hanover
stringing to the outer rail. They broke
away four times before getting the flag.
When the banner fell Juggler was first
away, followed by Terra Gotta, Elk

latter had much the worst of the start.

The Preservatives ofAge.

Col. Geo. w. Cummius is the best
specimen of the "Old-time Gentleman"
in our midst--courtly in demeanOr.
suave in manner and in personal ad-
dress, clever o the verge of natterv-
the warmth of the hand shake aud the
complimentary salutation always leav-
ing the party with a cOrdiality of feel
ing with the speaker and his individ-
ual self. The manners of the gentle
men of seventy-five and one hundred
years ago, whose society habits were
the relics of the colonial days and were
borrowed from the court habits of the
old countries over the sea-have nearly
passed away under the more leveling
and unifying habits of our democratic
Institutions.
The above is preliminary to II per-
sonal allusion (if we may take the
liberty that connects Mr.. Cummins
with the past. After directing the
affairs of his model farm at Wood
lawn" in the morning, though past
his four score, he is driven to town bv
his COachman and spends several hours
in his office every day, during which,
there or on the street, he meets many
persons he had business relations with
in his long years Of busy mercantile
life
But few persons in observing Mr..
Cummins in his neat attire would sup.
pose that some of his wearing apparel
was older in years than the ages Of
most of our business men. For
instance, the coat he wears in town
during this warm weather is one that
| he has worn every year for over fifty
years. 1t is of silk, brought from
Canton, China, and made a present to
him when in the prime Of his mercan-
| tile life, when Smyrna was the entire
! pot for the trade Of a large outlying
| country, and sent out more sailing
| crafts than any town on the line of the
bay.
Mr.. Cummins prides himself on his
! habits of carefulness, which is certainly
exemplified in this coat that looks as
though it might have been made for
him only year or two ago. He has
also pair of summer shoes that were
made for him by a shoemaker in
this town in 1861, twenty-eight years
ago, and they are good yet.
The hat he wears these warm days
was made by an Irish maid in his
own family-one of several that were
brought over from Ireland for domes-
tic service at the extinction of slavery
and the interruption in labor that fol-
lowed it, as a result of the war OF
the rebellion. The hat is a skilIful
combination of paper, though it would
pass for straw or what used to be
called 'chip hat" and looks as fresh
as though it might have been made
last year. This care of wearing APP
parel is likewise carried as far as he
can control it into the details of his
farm life, and makes "Woodlawn" the
recognized model farm for agricultural
neatness in Kent county.
The reader of this not familiar with
Col Cummins in his daily life, must
not suppose that with his aged gar
meDts he has an antiquated look: his
thick suit of hair is no whittier than il
was fifty years ago, and he always
looks modern and neat enough when
he drives to town of morning, to be
on his way to enter a convention o
dignitaries.

SmYrna's Financial Panic.

Under the above head the Eceninq
Journal, of Wilmington, gets up the
following account Of things pertaining
to this vicinity, the errors of which will
be apparent to our people interested.
We will premise, however, that there
has not been any financial panic in our
town, there has been no failure of mer-
chants, and while there has been some
trouble in the farming community, the
facts are not clearly stated, and the fig
ures are largely exaggerated. This is
the way the Journal puts it:
The death Of John Farrell, a wealthy
farmer living near Smyrna, about a
month ago, has caused financial panic
in that town. He was a heavy en-
dorser on the paper of several mer-
chants and farmers in and about
Smyrna, and his death has been the
cause of the failure of a number of
them. The first was J. Frank Denney.
He was heavily indebted to Farrell,
who had backed him in business.
About week ago, Robert Denney, a
brother of Frank Denney, and who was
much in debt to the latter, failed for, it
is said, about $4,000. He was prOprie-
tOr OF large nOurlng mills near Smyrna,
had feed and flour store in the town
and was also engaged in farming His
assets are not definitely known, but it
is thought that they are not equal to
his liabilities by about one-third.
The latter part of last week the fail
ure of Samuel Truax, farmer near
Smyrna, was announced with liabilities
at about $4,000. His assets are up-
known.
Since then Edward Disch and Ed
ward Streets, both farmers near Smyr-
ma, have failed for about $1,000 each,
and it is said that the end is not vet,
for others are involved. The numerous
failures have been the talk of the town
for week past, and people are won
dering who will be next.
with probably one exception there
is no change in the business relations
of the above parties as to location, and
not likely to be-

A PAMPHLET Of eighty pages, con-
tanning brief of the argument by the
counsel for the plaintiff in the case Of
the constitutionality of the Assessment
law Of 1873, as argued before the Court
by Edward G. Bradford, Levi c. Bird
and Anthony Higgins, has been re-
ceived from the latter. At this juno
ture in the affairs of the State, it is an
interesting document, giving as it does,
a statement of the case as brought by
John NJ. FrieszIeben vs.. the Levy
Court Of New Castle County, before
tina Superior Court and carried from it
to the Court Of Errors and Appeals.
It is claimed by those testing the law,
that the provisions OF the legislation
of 1878, upon which the defendants
rely, considered as a regulation of
county taxation, are unconstitutional
and void under both the Constitution
of Delaware and the Constitution OF
the United States, by. reason of the
power conferred upon collectors OF
county taxes to discriminate arbitrarily
and oppressively as between delin.
ouent poll taxables with respect to
their liability to pay tax for the sue
ceeding year.

Our new school house is nearing COM

The farmers are having q tough time

the latter growing in the shock. Some
are trying to thresh between the show
ers, though the wheat is neither fit to
thresh or stack. The peach crop has
dWindled down to almost a nOnenitV.
Blackberries sold this morning in
New York, from nothing to cents.
Strawberries and raspberries have sold
at extremely low prices, owing mostly
to the wet weather and the advanced
price of sugar. All these discourage
ments forebode a gloomy future for the

The arguments on both sides is now
before the judges of our courts, and we
have it as the opinion of one of the
best legal minds of the bar, that the
decision of the judges when it may be
reached some months hence will sus-
tain the appellants, that the present
assessment law, enacted in 1878,
abridges or embarasses the exercise of
the elective franchise by direct legisla-
tion, and is therefore unconstitutional.
It is not proper to suppose that the
judges will be actuated by anything
but the merits Of law in the case, but
it is believed that the present status Of
politics in our state will lessen the
tenacious hold on the law of '73, for it
is question which party in the future
can derive the most benefit from its
arbitrary provisions.
