The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such, it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in Tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. of Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. 8. of Biggart's

This is -emnenty the kind of informa.
fion that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle.
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such Information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty of
the country through which he travels.

HORSE SENSE"

There was good sound "horse sense"
in the suggestion made by Mr.. r. G.
Smith at the farmers meeting at East
Fairfield, to the effect that Vermont far
mers ought to breed horses more for gen.
eral service and less for speed. An ami
NAL like the Morgan horse described by Mr.
Smith, sound, kind, hardy, and good for
constant use for over thirty years, is al
ways in demand, and is much cheaper at
$3.50 than the average horse at $50. 1t
costs the breeder no more to raise such a
horse than it does to raise the cheaper
and poorer animal; and it costs the
owner no more to keep it.-[Burlington

THE WOMEN Din IT.

On one of the most stormy, disagreed
BILE days of the year, nearly seventeen
thousand noble, patriotic women of Bos-
ton went to the polls and voted. This is
not the first time the mothers, wives and
daughters of this country have taken up
the broom of reform, and done surpris-
ing work for the interests of their child
rem and families.
Although over twenty thousand BOs-
ton women registered, hardly anyone
(save the women themseves) believed
they would actually vote.
This proves that every year new avo-
cations are opening where women de-
mOnstrate their ability, as well as capa-
and make money.
women living near village or large
town can make many dollars spin money
every year raising poultry and eggs.
Mrs. James l.. Burgess, Nashua, n. H.,
says she cleared last year, from only l6
hens, 1868 for eggs alone. She could
have cared for 100 hens easily, and made
ten times as much. She attributes her
success to the use of Sheridan's Condi-
ton Powder to make hens lay. There is
no doubt that Powder is great help.
The manufacturers have for years offered
cash premiums to consumers, and a
proof of what we before said of women
is the fact that every year woman cap
tured one of their larger premiums.
This year the first premium is $1,000 in
gold, and we should not be bit surprised
if some woman got il; if not, she will
get lot of eggs to sell from using the
Powder. Mrs. Mary j. Glenn of Rust
burg, Va, says,-"Before using Sheri-
dams Powder was getting from 40 hens
. to eggs per week /; during eight weeks,
while using it, got from the same hens
49, eggs, worth over thirty dollars"
|. S. johnson Il Co., % Custom House
street, Boston, Mass, (the only makers
of Sheridan's Condition Powder to make
hens lay) will send, postpaid, to any
person, two % cent packs of Powder and
a new Poultry Raising Guide for 60
cents. The book alone costs % cents.
For Sl.OO, five packs of Powder and a
book; for Sl.20, a large II pound can
and book; six cans, $500, express pre-
paid. Send stamps or cash. Interest
ing testimonials sent free.-Advt.

sons of Hambletonian. The dam of An

as is also the dam of Altar, another new

one of the sons of Hambletonian, and out
of a daughter of the horse that holds
the fastest trottng record ever made in
any way of going, would seem to be ev-
cry whit as good as his breeding. think
he is the first trotter that ever achieved
a record of 80 or better at as early an
age as four years, owned in Vermont !;
and r. d. F., that made his record at the
same age, is the only one bred by Yer
monter and raised in this State. | think,
however, that this last season there was
another four-year-old and two other
three-year-olds, at least, bred by YER
monters and owned in Vermont, that
could have done the trick if called on. |

tus.
1t is matter of some surprise that old
Ethan Allen, whose memory will long be
kept green in this region, has a new 80
trotter to his credit in the bay gelding
Parnell, 229t. And among the last of the
stations got by old Ethan, the bay horse
Allen st. Joe has suddenly become dis
tinguished as the sire of the great trotter
White Stockings, that reduced his record
the past season to 2 10 Allen st. Joe is
described as very like his sire in beauty
of form and action, but is much larger,
standing l5a hands and weighing 1134
pounds. He was bred by Sprague and
Akers, the last owners of Ethan Allen,
foaed in 1874, and is therefore yet in his
prime. His dam was thoroughbred
daughter of st. Joe.

issue! is very gratifying to Vermonters

30 sons and daughters, not counting
those that are doubtful, with records Of
2 80 or better. His sons are represented

The Comtesse de Kersaint's ball on
Easter Monday is still the talk OF
Paris. 1t was a sort of reproduction
of q court ball given by the Comtesse
d'Artois just a hundred years ago.
Then the gentlemen present wore
coats of colored cloth, and on Monday
evening, at the Kersaint Hotel, in the
avenue of La ~Tour-Maubourg, the
same fashion was revived. Even the
charming figure of the hostess, in
white, with garlands of roses and a
pink sash, suffered by the competi-
ton of color with some OF her
male guests. The only black coats
in the ballroom were worn by mem
bers. of the diplomatic body and the
Marquis de Galliffet. The Due de
Mouchy looked imposing in a dark
blue coat with gold buttons. His son,
the Prince de Paix, was in light blue.
The Prince de Cystria vas also in
light blue, with diamond buttons. A
Viscount, a Count, a Marquis and a
Prince wore coats of the palest shade
of blue gray. Count Potocki and two
others were in salmon pink. The
young Due de Luynes, in mauve, with
revers in pearl gray, looked to perfec-
ton a gallant Of the last century. The
Prince de Leon wore q brown coat,
with white figured ~waistcoat, and
knee breeches of pearl gray velvet.
The Comte de Narbonne-Lara, in a
suit of the color called terra Gotta, led
the cotilion. The Comte de Kersaint
was in mauVe.

Results of an Inquiry by the New York
''Press" Upon the Presidential CUES

Results of al Inquiry by the New YOrs
''Press" Upon the Presidential CUES
ton.
From the Press of yesterday.
A short time ago the Press sent the
following request to the editors OF
leading democratic newspapers
throughout the country
DEAR SIR:-Although it is still
three years before another Presiden-
tial campaign, there is so much specu-
lation among democrats and repub-
licans alike as to the probable leader
of the Democratic party in the next
national political fight whether it will
be Cleveland, Hill or some nan today
less prominent in the parity that l
would like to present to the readers of
the Sunday Press the views of the
leading democratic editors on the sub
ject. Will you please favor me with a
few lines for publication in the Press
of the 18th inst. G.. HI. HAMMOND,
Manager The Press.
The editors addressed have sent in
satisfactor replies, with the following
results:-Most of the influential,
prominent Democratic newspapers
stand solid for Mr.. Cleveland. Among
these are the Indianapolis Qnd.)
Sentinel. the Charleston Is. o. Neos
and Courier, the Charlotte On. o.
Chronicle, THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS, the Nashville (Tenn.)
american, the Macon (Ga.l Tel
egrdph, the ST, Louis Repab-
Tic, the Wilmington Del.) E0eay Ecen-
ing, the Springfield Ohio Democrat,
the Des Moines Qowa) Leader, the
Omaha (Neb.) Herald, the Chatta-
nooga Times, the Erie (Pa.) Herald,
the La Crosse (Wis.) Chronicle, the
New Haven Conn., Register, the Gal
weston (Tex.) NeWs, and the Fort
Worth (Tex.) Gazette.
Governor Hill is not so fortunate in
the matter of editorial support, but
The Press gives letters in his favor
from the Hudson IN. W Register, the
Amsterdam IN. W Sentinel, the Kan
sas Democrat Topeka, Kan.), and the
st. Paul (Minn.) Globe, the Reading
pa. Eagle, and the Hartford Conn
Democrat.
John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, is sup
ported by the Chicago Herald.
Speaker Carlisle is talked of by the
Concord On. H. People and Patriot.
Ex-Secretary Whitney is the guest of
the Springfield Mass.) Neaps.
The Hartford Conn., Telegram goes
into a combination pool for Hill or
Whitney. The Vicksburg Miss.) Com
mercidl Herald names Cleveland or
Hill as a winner, and the Montpelier
Vt.) Argus and Patriot is sure that it
will be either Cleveland, Whitney or
Hill.
All the New York papers and the
Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot are non-com-
initial. They have no choice and will
not have until the convention is u little
nearer in point of time.
The Press thanks these editors most
heartily for aiding in the ucces of
this idea. 1t is a good one and one
that is appreciated by our readers.

Thinks Cleveland Would Be Elected if
Election Was Held Now.
L believe that Grover Cleveland is
the leading man in the Democratic
party today, and l think he may hold
that place long enough to be re-
elected. He is of unquestionable in
tegrity, and he has the faculty of be-
ing right nine times out of ten when
he expresses an opinion. He is
courageous, clear-headed, a good
thinker, a good writer and a good
speaker. His stock has been going up
in the market ever since his defeat,
and if such a thing were possible as an
election at this time, and with the ex-
listing light shining on men and
things, he would knock Benjamin
Harrison into a cooked hat.
Hill is a snowy, shifty man, who
never ought to be President, and
probably never will be. There are
numerous good men in the Demo
cratic party who would make at least
average Presidents. Some one of
these may come out from the throng
in the next three years and capture
the office, but it would be absurd even
to speculate as to who he might be.
Just now every one seems to be re-
garding Cleveland with nc small re-
greet for the past and considerable
hope for the future.

son why Mrs. Cleveland did not at
tend the Inauguration ball in Wash
ington last March has never been
given to the public, but the fact that
she took so many of the honors at the
New York ball shows that her fear of
what might happen if she did attend
the inaugural ball was well founded"
and what was that reason?" the
friend is asked.
''Simply that she did not think it
would be proper for her to go when
she knew that there would probably
be many present who would seek to
give to her a share of the honors OF an
occasion which was not properly her
occasion. Mrs. Cleveland is unques-
tionably a remarkably popular lady,
and it is simply nonsensical to pretend
to suppose she does not know it. The
fact Island her friends need not longer
hesitate to speak of tiff she had
gone to that ball last March she would
have been embarrassed by what she
would have deemed undue attention
paid to herr

1t is sad to think that while the
Four Hundred were celebrating with
such gleeful squabbling and such
heartfelt snobbishness the Washing
ton Centennial, a British invasion
should be taking place in the very
midst of them.
The facts of the case are very sim
pie. The innocent trustfulness of the
-Four Hundred was again taken adj
vantage of by a man who dropped his
chs, drank a good deal and had bad
manners. They imagined, as they have
often before, that these were all the
qualifications of an English swell, and
so they introduced Albert G. Sutton
into their clubs and lent him their
money. They did not doubt for a mo-
ment that he was a brother of Sir
Richard Sutton, the yachtsman, and
an officer of the Royal Navy. Finally
another Englishman had the idea OF
looking for the name of Sir Richards
alleged brother in the navy list, and
not finding it, qnickly made the dis
covery that Mr.. Sutton was a fraud.
1t is a pathetic picture which is
given of the last appearance OF Mr..
Sutton, sitting in Madison Square,
looking both hungry and thirsty,
while the Four Hundred rolled by in
their imitation English dog carts and
would not even accord a bow to their
former cherished guest. Perhaps it
was the slight put upon him then
which made him drown himself. AT
oil events, the body of q man has been
found in Long Island Sound which is
supposed to be Sutton's.
This tale shows that the British
have changed their tactics of warfare
against us in the last hundred years.
But Englishmen who engage in this
service should save enough of the
money they borrow to pay their
passage. Then it will not be neces-
sary for them to drown themselves
when they are hungry and thirsty
after the Four Hundred discover
them to be impostors and snub them.
