The BROOKLYN Handicap.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Tribune
says of the Brooklyn handicap tomorrow
that Tenny is a pronounced favorite.
Senorita is handicapped in case of rain,
but with a good track will be close up.
The same is true of Prince Royal and Tea
Tray. Eon will do well on a wet, heavy
track. Judge Morrow, Burlington, Saun-
terer, Banquet, Demuth, leighton, Re-
porter, Russell, Loantaka, Cousin Jeems,
Uncle Bob, Castaway, Carroll and King
Thomas are also expected to start.
Dave johnson tonight took up Joe
Thompson S., 900 bet that neither Tea
Tray, Tenny nor Senorita would win.
Thompson then went to the st. James
and laid the following bets: $500 that
Teuny was not first, $500 that he was not
second, $500 that he was not third, Tenny
to start, with Sol Lichenstein. SOL
had to give Thompson s25 for the bet.
Thompson then bet 81 1000 against
Tenny being first, $1,000 against his being
second. 81. 900 against his being third

in his favor they will very likely submit
without protest, but a divided delegation
will undoubtedly cause them to favor a
Western candidate. Should BoIes be
elected governor of Iowa next fall he will
have the solid delegation from this state
for first place On the ticket. The Iowa
governor is regarded both here and in
Nebraska as a man of exceptional power
in the West. Democrats say that his
name would create a feeling in favor of
the party which would cause the %uniica-
ton OF Independents and Democrats and
result IN carrying Iowa. Nebraska. South
Dakota and one or two other states this
side OF the Rockies. 1t is a triile enthusi-
astic and may appear like rainbow chas-
ing, but things have changed nightly
since 1888, and these Westerners say
they are able to do something for Democ-
racv.
Under such circumstances no wonder
that the Democrats of South Dakota are
now confident that the future promises
much, and they are preparing for the
next campaign with more yIgor than was
ever known before in their ranks. Be
tween the Independents and themselves
perfect harmony reigns. In brief, both
parties feel that the general good of the
state demands an early retirement of their
Common enemy, the Republicans.

ssworking'' Americans.

LONDON, May l4-In spite of repeated
warnings sent from time to time by the
United States legation here and by the
press of America concerning the iraudu-
lent character of so called English estate
agents in America, recent developments
show that the warnings rave been I'M
needed, and the number of dupes is in
c~reasing instead of decreasing. During
the past few weeks more letters hat ever
have been received from America iuquir-
ing after imaginary estates and fabulous
sums awaiting the writers in the Bank OF
England. This correspondence, as far
back as Mr.. Loweli's time, grew to such
cnormous proportions that all letters OF
this description had to De answered bv
| printed circulars During L%inroln's term
of office nearly all the letters have
come from small country towns, showing
that the agents find IN them most profit
able fields. Texas. Kansas, Iowa and
the far West seem to be especially pro-
ductive, although letters are received from
all parts of the United States. Of all
the claims investigated not one has been
found to have any validity whatever.
Claimants should also bear IN mind that
the statnte of limitations fixes a period
within which unclaimed estates revert to
the crown. and this period is twenty
years. There are 10 large sums of money
awaiting claimants 10 the bank of England.

Tried to Beat Gould.

CINCIEEATI, o., May l4.-An evening
paper has a story furnished 1t, as the pa
per a~sserts, by an ex Judge and corpora
ton attorney. and for the truth of which
it vouches, that is interesting reading in
Ohio at least. 1t is a tale of big losses BY
Senator Brice, Governor Campbell and
Gen. Thomas, and big profits by Jay
Gould. The attorney says:
1T is laughable in all but the vital fact
that Campbell, Brice and Thomas did not
laugh unless a heavy loss of a million or
two is any cause for hilarity. Campbell
was dragged into the deal by BrIce and
Thomas, and was, in fact, cutting his
brokerage eye-teeth, so to speak. Camp
bell made big money on the English
brewery deal, and along with his political
ambition was anxious to figure among the
Wall street magnates. He is nothing if
not shrewd and audacious, but. alasl he
fell against Jay Gould. The financial
world had less han a nine days wonder
at the supposed courage OF men like
Campbell, Brice, Thomas and others who
went in with Coils p. Huntington to rout
Jay Gould from the Richmond Terminal
and shut him out from Pacific Mail hold
ings. The wizard of Wall street and
the stock exchange was as mild as a sum
ner ocean and let go so easily that at
once the story was telegraphed through
out financial circles hat Gould had at last
been worsted.
Then came marvellous reports of
Huntington diplomacy and shrewdness.
The Wizard" sold out Richmond Ter
mInal at SO. The buyers thought to have
it rise, but it fell gradually until its hold
ers found it one gloomy day at AZ. Then
Campbell and other holders went to
Gould. They wanted to sell. He blandly
told them Richmond Terminal was all
right; that the fuctuation was only tenn
porary and that they should margin up.
A few days later it fell 10 points more.
Again the trembling and scared men who
had boosted OF beating Gould vent to
him.
"'Oh, margin 1t up he said, coolly.
1t cant fail to be good stock-a good in
vestment.

medes' lever, could margin up Rich

This was %psrslyzing, and Campbell,
Brlce, ct. al. we're blue and bilious.

This was a bitter prescription, but the
disease was worse than the remedy. so
they took it. A week later there came a
drop in Western Union and a rise in
Richmond Terminal. Brice is said to
have lost over 50, 600, 900 and Campbell
nearly all if not all he had. He is there

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1891-06-17

A few days ago C. F. Mason and
a geologist from the Reyeillc Office
found a. quantity of large bones in
the deep wash where the Rodney
road crosses Cemetery Hill. just
beyond the corporate limits. The
bones were embedded In sort Of
mari, about twenty feet beneath the
surface. They had been partially
uncovered by the water which pours
through the chasm like cataract
after each heavy ram, and were dug
out with little trouble. Ages Of
burial, however, had made them
very brittle. reducing them almost
10 the condition Of pure chalk, and
they were much broken in the
process Of unearthiDg. Doubt
less other remains ure entombed in }
the hillside and will be brought to
light as the soil crumbles under the
action of the weather.
These bones are not of very ex-
traordinary size, though larg-
er than those OF any Of our domes-
tic animals, In fact it is hard TO de-
termine about their original dimen-
sions, so much werethey broken by
the spades. But their great depth
lat least 20 feet beneath the surface)
and their position in a hillside,
where they could not have been
covered up BY soil washed from
above, proves them to be the re-
mains of some animal that trod the
earth vast ages ago. The most per-
feet of tho bones is evidently the
upper joint Of foreleg. II is short,
thick, and much curved, showing
that it belonged 10 a very powerful
limb. A number OF persons who
have examined il think it is a buf-
falo bone, an opinion which is
probably correct. How such guam
tity Of earth was ever piled above
the remains is a mystery. Possibly
in the remote past this region
was level sea marsh. or river
marsh, i'm which animals got begged,
and so sank far down in the soft
mud, being afterwards still more
deeply buried by the alluvial de-
posts brought down in the course
of centuries by the great river.
Later came the upheaval which
changed this then fat country into
its entsemi.mountainous rough
ness Of surface. Whether this is
the geological theory or not, tits
the only one that we can conceive
as explaining The facts in the case.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1891-06-17

AT PiLtsburg last week, during
the session OF the Ministerial Associ-
alton ofthe United Presbyterians,
Rev. Mr. Boyd said in the course Of
a discussion:
DR.. Talmage is not an orator. He
has less dramatic power than the
average Brooklyn preacher. 1t is
question whether he has any dIamat-
ic power at all. There is no dramatic
art in the distortions ofcountenance
which he sometimes assumes. Tall
mage has hardly a single gesture,
posture or movement that pertains
TO the true orator. His manner is
awkward, uncouth, unnatural and
distorted. To many is absolutely
repulsive. His wild rhetoric can
not be set down as an element OF
power. sir..l.. mss. lw gFf. .s
Our contract with the Kellog COM
pany stipulates that none Of Tai
mage's sermons shall appear in the
ready-print department Of this pa-
per. Readers of the Reveille owe
us a "debt OF gratitude" for thus
protecting them from the frothy
twaddle Of the Brooklyn divine.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1891-06-17

In the case Of the British isles we
must speak not of climate, but of eli.
mates; for within the compass of one
small realm are climates moist aud
comparatively dry, warm and cold,
bracing and eneryating, the results OF
special Influences. Civilized man to a
great extent makes a climate for him
self; bis life in the north Is spent
mainly indoors where artificial heat
replaces the sun. 0g 8f iad m
The idea which still haauts us, that
formidable vigor and aptitude for
conquest are the appanagc Of northern
races, is a survival from the state in
which the vigor Of nature selected and
hardened the destined conquerors OF
the Roman Empire. The stoves of 81.
Petersburg are as enervating as tho
sun Of Naples, aud 10 the struggle be-
tween the northern and southern states
of America, not the least vigorous sol
diers were those who came from Louis
lana. .....
In barbarous state the action OF o
northern climate as a. force of natural
selection must be tremendous. The
most important of the races whiehpeo-
pied the British islands had already
undergone that action in their Original
abodcs. They could, however, still
feel the bencfccnt influence Of y cII-
mate on The whole eminently favorable
to health and 10 activitys bracing, yet
not so severe as 10 kin those slender
plants Of humanity which often bear
In them tho most precious germs Of civ
Ilization; neither combining tho inbab-
liant too much 10 the shelter Of hi.

are apt to do, drawing him too much

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1891-06-17

Our usually cheerful contempo-
rary Of the Canton Progress, in a
recent issue takes the gloomiest sort
Of view OF things in general. He
says
"The great question which is....
causing the entire known civil
lied world to shudder and grow
pale is the fact that We are all going
to hell. Itseems nightly that way.
On every hand, throughout Tho
length and breadth Of our land, We
behold vice and iniquities, moral
degradation, and social impurities
as thick ms feas on dogs back,
and all hell seems turned u
loose on earth"
This bears internal evidences Of
having been written in one Of those
bitter moments when dissatisfied
subscriber drops into the sanctum
and says, "stop my paper" Cheer
up, friend Progress the world, we
trust, is not quite SO dark as you
have painted it.
