a CHEAT HoRsE RACE.
An Exciting Contest Between the North
aud South.

An Exciting Contest Between the North
aud South.
A great horse ce-probably the
greatest match race ever run in this
country-was, according to st. Louis
horseman, that known as the test
event of sectional superiority, the north
against the south, in 1S45. The horses
were Peytona, owned by Messrs. Kirk
man, of Alabama, and Fashion, owned
by Messrs. Gibbons, of New Jersey
The race was run at a track on Jersey
Heights, now fashionable suburb of
Jersey City, overlooking the Hudson
river, and near the present American
summer home of Mrs. Paran Stevens, a
great society queen of the present day
in Paris. London and New York, The
match was for twenty thousand dollars
side, and created intense interest in
all northern and southern communities.
There was an immense crowd present,
distinguished men and women from all
over the country being among the
spectators. The spirit of local and
sectional pride was great deal
stronger in those days than 1t is now,
and 1t was strung up to the highest ten
sion. Peytona won the match, and the
entire south appeared to be as unit in
demonstrations of Joy and enthusiasm;
the north was corresponding crest

The OKLAHOMA RUSH.

Humorous Bits of Personal History in
That Race for Homes.
Everyone who knows the story of the
Oklahoma boom, when thousands of
men and women rushed into Indian
Territory by permission of the govern
ment to stake out claims there; hut it
has been left for Richard Harding Davis
to set down for us the little humorous
bits of personal history which are like
salt to porridge. Twenty-Five hundred
people alighted from the first train from
the south, and stampeded wildly over
the prairie, driving in their little strikes,
changing their minds, and driving the
stakes over again in some other spot.
When the second train came in, the
sight Of so many early birds" seemed
to drive the newcomers almost frantic,
and they fell over one another in their
haste; indeed, their race for the choicest
lots was like run on a bank when no
one knows exactly where the bank is
One young woman was in such haste
to alight that she crawled out of the
car window, and as soon as she reached
the ground, drove in her stake. and
claimed all the land round it This was
part of the military reservation, and
the soldiers so explained to her; but she
was suspicious of everyone, and re-
manned seated by her wooden peg until
nightfall
Another woman stuck up sign bear
ing the words "a Soldiers Widows
Land" and was quite confident that
the crowd would respect that title She
was assured thai she had no right to
the spot and was offered lot still an
claimed; but she refused to move The
lot she was offered Is now on main
street in the center of the town, and
the one she was finally forced to take,
after her long delay, Is on the prairie,
three miles out of the city.
Still another woman drove in her
stake between the railroad ties and
said it would take locomotive and
train of cars to move her; and man
put his stake in the very center of the
lot sites laid out by the surveyors, and
claimed the surrounding hundred and
sixty acres for his holding.
He was told that he could only have
as much land as would make lot liz
the town site, and that If he wanted
hundred and sixty acres he must locate
1t outside the city limits. He replied
that the proclamation said nothing
about town sites
But of course, he went on, eff you
people want to build city round my
farm, I've no objection. don't care
for city life myself and Pm going to
turn this into vegetable garden.
Maybe, though, if you want it very
bad, might sell it"
For months he fought out the ques-
ton with the government and is
possibly fighting it to this day

Goth of March, with high winds that
whipped the sand into great waves and
blew it across the plains.
Beyond the door of the courtyard
nothing could be seen but the flying
sand
Over all spread the dusky canopy of
the heavens.
A Mexican soldier mounted a stool
and held aloft the fatal pitcher.
The roll was called.
As each hand was slowly lifted and
poised for one single instant above the
mouth of the jug life and death must
have met and made salute.
The game was for souls, and the die
was Mexican beanl
Fosters name was called near the
last and he carelessly dropped in his
left hand, with perchance a reminis-
cence of childish days when he had
done such things for luck" and found
he had picked up white bean.
AS he returned to his place Harvey
passed him, and Ned saw in the white,
drawn face of his friend no sign OF
fear, but the mental anguish of Geth-
semane.
What was it he had said las night in
one OF the pauses of that long march?
That perhaps, even now, baby
voice was waking faint echoes in his
little home, and that the anxiety he
was bearing for another was sharper
with pain than any physical torture he
had experienced.
Ned looked at the smooth white oval
Of the vegetable seed in his hand and
made resolve.
When he looked up Harvey was Just
raising his hand. Ned noticed how it
trembled.
When the fingers were withdrawn
there was something black outlined
against their bloodless tips.
The change in his face was that of
death.
With quick movement toward his
friend, Foster made sudden thurst
and gesture, and-how it was no
could ever explain after the slight
confusion and peremptory orders to fall
in line Harvey was seen standing in his
old place staring with bewildered gaze
at white object in his open palm, and
more than mortal beauty, awaiting the
signal of death.
AS soon as Harvey regained control
of his confused faculties he made fran
tic, pitiable efforts to communicate
with his friend, but was silenced at the
point of musxet and compelled to
throw himself face downward with the
rest, while the seventeen doomed men
were led forth, bound together with
cords, their eyes bandaged, and shot
repeatedly until life was extinct. They
asked the privilege of being shot from
the front, but were refused, and made
to sit upon log near the wall with
their backs to the executioners
Six were taken out first, then six
more and then five.
Darkness fell like great funeral pail
as the last shots were fred, and stars
shed their holy candle rays above the
dead; the dishonored dead, lying in
one great heap, body piled atop of
body.-Nora c. Perry, in Omaha Bee.

AT TWENTY-ONE.

Behold My boy, mystic veil
Hangs just within thy reach.
What lies beyond its ldstrous folds,
What veal or woe that future holds,
What snowy peak thy crown upholds,
With jeweled fash thy heart embolds-
But Time alone may teach,
And Fortune point the golden trail.
But bark The wondrous hour doth walt;
Fate holds aloft her seal;
Look baclxl Youths pleasures seemed fair
Hast tasted all thy sweetened share?
Too late 10 call them back, for there
Time steps between and points to where
The draperies reveal
The splendor Of thy mans estate.
Ali but thy smile grows cen more bright;
Deep thrills thy glance with pride;
Thou'ds not exchange yon fruitful field
For childhood's fragrant, flowing yieldf
How swells thy strength, its power TO WELD
Mid vines whose wealth's but half concealed.
In virtue be 1t tried
And in the hours of purest light.
Press on, my boy, straight to the goal,
Nor wander of in doubt;
Some other path may seem more fair,
Some other burden free from care
Stand not, with questioning, idle stare,
Let conscience all thy works compare.
Away with joyful shout,
And faithful honor guard thy soul.

The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian tells the follow
ing story: "An interesting and curious
case, illustrating the recuperative
power of nature, has just been recorded
by a surgeon. A workman while at
tending q machine used for cutting
blocks of tin had the tips of two Of the
fingers Of his left hand clean cut off
with the knife. Seven hours afterward
the man went to the hospital for treat
ment. The surgeon determined to att
tempt to replace the missing portion
of the fingers, although the pros
poets of getting them to unite seemed
to be most remote. The wounds were
carefully cleansed and the ends of the
fingers were restored to their places
and fixed by sutures. In fortnight
firm union was found to have occurred,
and when the patient was next seen,
after considerable lapse of time, the
surgeon was able to note that both
motion and sensation were perfect Ia
the ends Of the fingers"

A MUSICAL CRAB.
An Indian Sand Crab Which Can Easily
Emit Sounds.

Emit SOUNDS.
Among the animals Dr. A1cock, ac-
cording to Nature, has specially OBJ
served is the red ocypode crab which
swarms on all the sandy shores of In
dia. The bigger of its two chel@, or
nippers, bears across the palm" long,
fnely-toothed ridge, and on one of the
basal joints of the arm" against which
the palm" can be tightly closed, there
is second similar ridge When the
palm" is SO folded against the base of
the 'arm" the first ridge can be worked
across the second like bow across a
fiddle, only in this case the bow is sew
eEal times larger than the fiddle.
And now as to the way these crabs
play their tiddles. robber crab en-
tiers the burrow of another. When the
rightful owner discovers the intruder
he utters few broken tones of remon-
STRANGE, on hearing which the intruder,
if permitted, win at once leave the bur-
row If the intruder be prevented from
making his escape the low and broken
tones of the rightful owner gradually
rise in loudness and shrillness and FREE
quency until they become continuous
low-pitched whir or high-pitched growl,
the burrow acting as a resonator.

Washington. June 15.-Secretary
Gresham has received advices that war
is imminent in the Samoan Islands, and
that a rebellion has broken out against
the existing government, of which
King Malietoa is head. Mataafa re-
turned to Samoa for the purpose of
regaining the throne That his follow
ing is strong and menacing, is evident
by the fact that the reigning king
has appealed to the representatives Of
the tripartite alliance to protect him in
accordance with a treaty concluded be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Germany, and assist him in drfv-
ing the usurperMataafa from the ter
ritory. The situation has reached a
critical stage, and the president and
Secretary Gresham are in frequent con-
ference as to the policy this govern
ment should pursue in the matter. The
United States is pledged to assist in
preserving the autonomy of the islands,
but at present is hardly in a position to
do very much in that direction. Ger
many is the only member of the alli-
ance represented at the islands by a
warship, but with the cooperation Of
the representatives and citizens Of 9TH
er governments, that vessel will be
sufficient to afford ample protection to
foreign interests on the inland, even If
it is not capable to entirely suppress
the rebellion.
