Americans hardly would look to find
much gold among the immigrants ar
irving at Ellis Island: and it will
doubtless surprise many to find that
those who we're examined there in
1894 had the aggregate sum of So, $50
900 in gold in their possession. OF
course the per capita division of this
sum of three millions and more does
not represent that the 1855 people
who owned it were particularly we'll
TODD on the average. 1t would give
them but SIS apiece. Yet, if every
man, woman and child in the country
had 4 ) much gold as that to dispose
of at one time. the government need
not have called on foreign bankers to
restore its reserve. There would then
be over 81. 00O, 000. 900 of the best cur
rency il the world for the govern
ment's Use, whereas, experts are stat
ing with some degree of positiveness
that almost all the free gold in cur
rent use has been taken up for export
in the last year and a half.

The snowfall over the South last
week was unprecedented. AS far
South as Townsville, Ga, near the
Florida line, sleighing was INDUCED
in. Two Inches fell in Northern
Florida. The record has been broken
in almost every section, and in most
places the snow yet remains on the
ground. In the cities street car traffic
was impeded or suspended.

The girl that gives way to a desire
to CAD about the streets, to cultivate
the acquaintance of youngmen and act
simpering, is laying the foundation of
a useless after life. Then, two to one,
when married she will develop into a
slattering gossip, if no greater misfor-
tune befall her. 1t is the girl hat
loves home and helps her mother that
wins the model man and becomes an
ornament TO womanhood. The girl
that does this and devotes some of her
spare time to reading and strives for
the graees of mental culture, COM
mands the respect and esteem of every
body, while the gadding street orna
snent only wins the admiration of those
whose admiration is not worth having.

The High Hats should Go.

That the big hats worn by the ladies
these days are a nuisance all who at
tend theaters will admit. A seat be-
hind a lady whose head is decorated
with one of these freaks of fashion is a
blind that shuts off the unfortunate
victim. The man has paid his money
to see the show but he sees it not. Go
to a theater any night you will and if
you are behind n of these abomina-
BILE head ornaments you will wish you
had remained at home.

THE ONTARIO IDEA.
From the Horseman.l

Racing seems to have acquired new
twist or angle-of all places-in Ontario.
Provincial minister of agriculture. John
Dryden. has issued a decree ordering
that premiums shall not be awarded at
fairs for speed alone. Here is Mr.. Dry
den's ulSase several applications having
been made to this department by various
agricultural societies for an interpreta-
ton of section 20 of the agricultural
and arts acts. 1885, the following decision
is given to the officers and directors for
their guidance as being the evident in
tention of the legislature when passing
the act: BY section 9 of the said act,
the object of such societies, as relating
to live stock, is confined to two things
(a) the purchase or importation of val
liable animals, and % awarding pre-
miums for excellence in raising stock,
etc. Subsection of this section de-
clares that none of the funds shall be
expended for any purpose inconsistent
with the above. The opinion of the
the legislature, as expressed in section
30, was that horse racing, as ordinarily
conducted, is inconsistent with the objects
above set forth. 1t is presumed, there
fore, in awarding premiums for light
horses of any class, that form, soundness
and style shall always be considered as
well as speed, and that no horse shall be
placed first for speed alone. If, in the
Judgment of the officers or judges, it is
deemed desirable to test the speed of the
contesting horses, it is competent under
this clause to do so, but the prizes must
in every case be awarded on general
excellence, as possessing the above
characteristics. Neither is it intended
that purses shall be prepared of offerings
from owners of cOntesting horses, but
that premiums shall be offered in the
ordinary way. 1t is hoped that the
operation of this clause will do away
with the professional racehorse at our
agricultural shows and tend to promote
the development and encourage the
breeding of sound, stylish, right-stepping
horses, so much in demand in the great
horse markets of the world"

GOOD HORSES IN DEMAND.

There is an improved demand at the
Chicago Horse. Harness and Carriage
exchange, and a number of sales OF fine
matched teams are reported. Several or
ders for strictly choice matched cobs and
coachers have been placed with this con-
Germ already, in anticipation of the fall
driving season. Indications are very
favorable for a good fall trade in high
class horses and at remuneratve prices
to owners and consignors. Notwith-
standing the talk of depression and a
slow market, the fact remains that good
horses are worth nearly as much as ever
they were, and are daily growing harder
to get. The poor demand and low prices
paid for common and small horses has
had deterrent effect upon shippers, who,
confounding the two classes, have not
been bringing to the market anything
like the usual number of horses. The
result has been demand for fine horses
greatly in excess of the supply Horse

WOULDN'T TRADE FOR MAUD $.

From the MlflDl anu fitIllltl.
Editor M,ror and FUmer:-After
reading Mr.. Hiram Turner's remarks
about the Morgan horses, thought
would write a few words in relation to
the old Justin Morgan horse. for my
father owned him twice-owned him
when he died; and my grandfather had
a pair of boots made of his hide, and
can show anyone where he was buried.
lie died, as has been frequently writ
ten, from kick My father had en-
gagged to 90 to Portland with load of
hogs for a merchant at Chelsea Green
that spring. AS was the custom in those
days. and he employed boy by the
name of Folsom to do his chores and
take care of the old horse while he was
gone. When he got home the old horse
was dead, and in sugaring time he drew
the old horse out to the edge of the
woods where big maple tree was
turned up by the wind root and branch,
and left big hole; into it ne rolled the
old horse and then cut the tree of near
the roots and then turned it back and
buried him.
This was before | was born, but have
often heard my father relate the circum-
stance, and also how my mother tried
two different times to kill the old horse,
one time by giving him about bnshel
of oats at a feed. lie ate what he wanted
of them and then went prancing around
the dooryard. This got up the "old
lady's' ire little, and she went out
with the broom and ran him across a
large field of ice in hope that he would
fall down and break his neck, for he had
on 40 shoes. have heard her often re-
late how the old horse rolled his tail up
over his back, and went up to the barn
like bird. Now have "a Morgan mare
% years old, true descendant of old
Justin, and my father used to say when
she was colt that she was perfect
likeness of the old horse. She has raised
me some very likely colts and has one
now about two months old that would
be hard to duplicate. Money would not
buy the old mare. If Robert Bonner
was here with Maud S. and would trade
even with me | should say mo"
1t matters but very little what the
pedigree was of the old horse. 1t is well
known that for strength and durability,
symmetry and beauty, he had no equal
in his day: and from him has arisen a
breed of horses that has no equal il the

One of the most remarkable brood
mares i'm equine history was the little
bay fourteen-hand mare Mayiiower'
. .30I. bv st. Clair, that is buried along
side the other great matrons beneath the
big oaks in one of the paddocks at PATIO
Alto. No mare i'm America whose sire
and dam will. like hers, be forever un-
traced, impressed her peculiar individual
itv so strongly on her produce. Going
among the hundreds of Others at the
great farm by the lone pine, in an instant
the marked similarity of her daughters
-and their descendants to her stand out
in bold relief. YOu can pick this family
out anywhere from among all others.
She founded a distinct family of race
horses. She was bay in color, and her
eleven daughters were all bays. she
never had foal of the other sex. or

buried in Chelsea, VT, near Tunbridge

his bones lie moldering in the ground.
Now if anyone entertains the idea that
the Morgan horses can't trot or travel |
