PoIIy's New Shoes.

You'd know by the way she goes creaking about,
Peering down from all possible views,
At the two little feet thrust complacently out
That Polly has on her new shoes.
They are neat, they are gay, they are buttoned up
high,
And they're lined IN q brilliant blue tint,
They're bright as the stars twinkling up In the
sky,
Or a penny just out of the mint.
But it isn't for that she's so happy and proud,
That she is almost unable to speak;
It's because they give out such q charmingly loud,
Such a perfectly beautiful squeak

THE GRAND PRIZE OF PARIS.
History of Horse Racing the
Great Purse is Made Up.
From the Paris UluStre.

From the Paris IluStre.
1t is now more than 100 years since the
fashion of horse racing was introduced into
France from England. History has pre-
served the name of French horse named
rAbbe, belonging to the Prince of Cue
meme, who in 1776 had the honor of beating
several opponents that had been brought
over from England. The following year
races took place at Vincennes, at Fontalne-
bleau, and on the Plaine DIES Sablons. but the
promoters of these first essays were only
able to organize their undertaking in a
rudimentary manner; they did noU even
lay out regular course. The rev.
olution interrupted the races Ma
poleon |. re-established them, but they only
came into use; they began to take consider
able development only between 1880 and
1910. In 1886 was created the jockey club
stakes, or French derby. Old sportsmen
yet remember with delight the joyous life
they led during the week of the arOy. The
Paris Grand Prix, whose history and COM
plexion we purpose sketchiug, is of a more
recent date. 1t was founded in 1868 for
3-year-old horses. Since then it has been
run regularly each year except in 1871, the
year of the commune. Twenty-Five horses
have come off cOnquerors in this trial, the
most renowned and most numerously at
tended race in our country Ofthese twenty
five winners thirteen were born in France,
ten in England. one in AUSTRIA and the
last in the United States. These re ults
show that the international character given
the race on its creation has been well pre-
served. The stakes without reckoning the
increase caused by entries and forfeits,
which,as rule, amount to about 40, 600
francs, are 100000 francs. OF this sum the
Vile de Paris contributes half and the
five principal railway companies the other
1t is timely generosity for the receipts
which this fete procures the town aud COM
panles amply make up, on account of the
number of passengers and the greatness of
the traffic, for the sacrifice which they have
imposed on themselves. So, also the mu-
nicipal councillors, who each year raise OBJ
1ectlons when the time comes on
for voting this allowance, find it i'm
possible seriously to maintain that
they are actuated by the wish of sparing
the finances of the town. Economy is but
a pretext, and Ii is useless to indicate more
clearly the sentiment by which they are
guided; fortunately, they have hitherto
been IN minority. 1t has been said that,
if the town and the companies refused
their assistance, the society of encourage
ment is wealthy enough to manage with
out it. But, according to article II of its
rules, all the prizes it offers are to be com
peted for by French horses only. The
international character of the race would
thus have to be done away with, and the
special interest of this trial, as well as its
legitimate popularity, at the same time,
disappear.

GENERAL LONGSTREETS LETTER,
AS Viewed by an Ex-Confederate Private-A
Soldiers Voice from Montana.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 12.-General James
Longstreet's mail is loaded with letters,
both from the boys in blue and the boys in
gray, commencing his manly, patriotic let
ter to the Chattanooga Republican Club.
The usual snarl and jeremiad have come
from the old reactionary BOurbons. The
Associated Press dispatches reported an
interview with United States Democratic
Senator in Washington, who claimed to
have ''served under General Longstreet,"
and who expressed his "sOrrOw and disap-
pointment that General Longstreet should
have wantonly slandered the South.n In
pleasing contrast is the following letter
from an ex-cOnfederate, who marched with
Longstreet for four years, and who is now
located in Montana, and is reconstructed"
loyal to the Union, and hence stanch
Republican. Echoing the sentiment of
the Montana soldier. it is be hoped
the evening of General Longstreet's life
may be happy, and as he is only
sixty-seven years old and hale and hearty,
he may lead his former comrades in the
South to the same high plane now occupied
by hls Montana colleague, whose letter is
as follows:
BASIN CITY, NJ. T., Jan. 4.
General-I have just lead your patriotic letter
20 the gentlemen who gave Hon. H. Clay Evans,
Congressman-elect, q banquet in Chattanooga,
Tenn. You have, by that letter, my dear sir,
added another cause for my esteem to the many
which four years of active service under your
command OccasiOned. As one of the humblest
OF the "Old brigade" who followed your lead from
Bull Run in '61 along the Peninsular, twice be-
yOnd the Potomac, and then to the end at Ap-
pomatt0x, L have steadfastly contended and
voted in accordance with the result of that
policy. In the years soon after we yielded
our guns to that matches and magnanimous
soldier who sleeps at Riverside, and whose every
heart-throb in life was kindly to all his loyal
cOuntrymen, have contended and acted in the
interest of nationality and the entire Republic.
L hail the election of Mr.. Evans with Joy.
read and shall preserve your letter with an es-
pecia1 emphasis of pleasure, and, General, at the
risk OF your displeasure, beg to again thank
you for your letter. and also for the many manly
words and deeds of yours during the past
quarter of a century, almost, which have reflect
ed nothing but credit upon the survivors of that
we'll.
L trust sincerely that your life's last days may
be restful days; that memory, striking upon the
sepulchre of yOur past, may bring back nothing
that shall be tainted with regret and apOlogizing
for mentioning these things L offer the excuse
that old days will come stealing back, for they
hang like golden beads upon the rosary of my
memory. With best wishes for your health,
prosperity, peace and happiness I am, General,

Brief History of Osman Digna, Commander

Brief History of Osman Digna, Commander
of the Mahdis Advance Guard.
Paris Special to New York World.
Osman Digna, who commands the ad-
vance army of the Mahdis troops, and
who first communicated to General Gren-
fell the alleged capture of Stanley and
Emin Bey, is not an Arab, as is generally be-
heved. but is a European by birth. Ac-
cording to the Petit Journal, Osman Digna
was born in ROuen, France, in 1886, of
French parents. His father, whose name
was Joseph Nisbet, sent the boy, George, at
an early age TO Paris to be educated. When
George was thirteen years old his parents
emigrated to Alexandria, in Egypt. Here
Joseph Nisbet soon succumbed to the trying
climate, and his widow, who was
still beautiful woman and com

latter took strong liking to his stepson,

family moved to Suakim,. when Osman
Digna, ST., engaged as a merchant and slave
I dealer, principally the latter and acquired
large. foIt tune. After the death OF his
stepfather OSman Digna, jr., continued the
business, and soon became one of the most
influential men in Suakim. When the re-
volt of the Arabs took place in 1882, Osman
Digna became one of the most enthu-
siastic champions of the movement.
He. was joined by his friend, Arab
Pasha, and was elected chief of all the
tribes in Eastern Soudan. Osman is gem
eral favorite. and wields such powerful
influence that even the Mahdi himself dare
not oppose the pacific endeavors of the

commerce of the world. Osman has pow
