| MOreland Stock Farm.-Mr. Wales
| White passed through Rockville last week,
| having in charge five very highly bred
mares booked to his Wilkes stallion, Axtc-
| loid. The Moreland Stock Farm believes
| that the only success in breeding horses
comes from having the very best stations
/ that can he obtained, and in Axteloid the
| Moreland Stock Farm has the most fashion :
ably bred stallion in Maryland. lie is a
half brother Of Axtell, the 3 year old colt
that beat the stallion record Of the world
| last year, trotting mile in PIP, and was
afterwards sold for $780, 900, and this year
! has filled bis book of forty mares at $1,000
each. Mr.. WALES White told rs that AK
] tcloid's book was also filled this year. This
is certainly progressive breeding in Mary
land and We congratulate the Moreland Stock
Farm upon introducing such blood in the
State. Axteloid has in his stable companion
| Vodallah, Il stallion that will share with
him his honors in the future, for his breed
ing comes through his sire and dam from
old Hambletonian, the greatest founder oil
the trotting horse in the United States, and
barring accidents Mr.. White told us that
he expected TO put Voldallah in the 230
list this fall after the season.

In the daily round of toll and pleasure, no

my key.

Count Langowski, of Detroit,
has had an experience OF Russian afro
cities that he is not likely to ever for
get. At the close of the Polish rebel
lion of 1863 he was taken prisoner by
the Russians and sent on his dreary way
to Siberia He made the journey of g.
600 miles in thirteen months, heavy
chains being attached to the ankles Of
each foot. Arrived in Siberia he was
set to work in the quicksilver mines.
As is known these mines are most I'M
healthy, the fumes of the quicksilver
rotting the bones and loosening the
teeth. After certain time of this kind
of work he was put to outside labor.
Twice, for no justifable reason, he was
whipped with the knout, the first time
receiving eighty lashes and the second
time 125. The knout Is made of
stout piece of leather, the ends being
heavily loaded with lead. People often
die under the lash. Langowski says
says that out of $4,000 prisoners sent
by Russia to Poland at the end of their
rebellion, hardly 5000 ever returned
home alive. The indignities heaped
upon women prisoners were horrible.
They were debauched, whipped and
poisoned to death, for the soldiers had
unlimited license. After serving six
years as prisoner in chains, Count
Langowski became a prisoner under
surveillance for six years more. At the
end of that time he returned to Poland
only to find an order from the Gear
commanding that he leave the country
within twenty-four hours. He had just
time to marry the girl who had waited
patiently for him during the term Of
his sentence before leaving his native
land. He is at present satisfied to
make America his home.

With his kit of tools, our man took the

There, said the man, Is the safe. The

Never mind the damage, If you viii

As this involved trip to and from

was Columbus q jew?

Jews figure prominently in tn y
tory of the discovery of America. The
plans and calculations for Columbus
expedition were largely the work of two
Hebrew astronomers and mathemati-
clans. Two Jews, also, were employed
as interpreters by Columbus, and one
of them, Luis de Torres, was the first
European to set foot in the New World.
When Columbut sighted the Island of
San Salvador, he imagined he was ap-
preaching a portion of the East Asiatic
coast, and he sent Torres-who was en-
gagged for his knowledge of Arabic
ashore to make inquiries of the natives.
It was, probably, this Torres who was
the Madrid Jew to whom Columbus be-
queathed half mark of silver in his
will. Another curious fact is, that it
has been seriously suggested, by Dr.
Delitzsch we believe, that Columbus
himself was Jew, or of Jewish birth.
The name Christopher was frequently
adopted by converts, while the sur
name Colon was borne by a distin-
guished family of Jewish scholars.
Christopher's brother. Diego, bore
originally the Jewish name Jacob, which
sounds surprisingly like q Shem Ka-
dosh. Perhaps during the coming cell
ebrations some Jewish scholars in Italy
will make inquiry into the validity of
this daring suggestion.-JelCiSh WOrld.

One Swindle Explained.

4 drummer who travels for a Boston
grocery concern says that he sees in
Maine some of the sharpest tricks that
are practiced anywhere on his route.
He gives the following specimen:
A farmers wife hustled into a store
in Washington County the other day,
and went for the proprietor with:
~Mr. B, bought six pounds of
sugar here last week, and when got it
home I found q stone weighing two
pounds in the package"
Yes, ma'am."
Can You explain the swindle, sirf"
II think / can was the proprietor's
placid reply. when I weighed your
eight pounds of butter, week before
last, I found 9 two-pound pebble in
the jar, and when weighed your sugar
the stone must have slipped into the
scales, somehow. We are both growing
old, ma'am, and am sorry to saw that
our eye>ight isn't to be trusted. What
can I do for you, ma'am?"
For moment the woman gazed at
the tradesman over her brass bound
spectacles. Then she reconected her
self and remarked that she had a dozen
eggs which she wished to exchange fer
hooks and eyes.-LelUiston Journal.
