MIR. Manlex,s Horse Sense.

A despatch from London says th at
Joseph H. Manley, Esq. of Maine re-
ceived a great many letters during the
last few days he was in London from
friends all over America who read he had
backed Sir. Visto, Lord Rosebery Is
horse, when it won the Derby. 81 am
afraid people at home have formed an
impression I have become 'plunger'
and have won great deal of money on
the Derby said Mr. Manley laughingly
THE impression also prevails that was
controlled entirely by sentiment. Senti-
ment had o great deal to do with my
wanting Lord Rosebery to win the race,
but just before the race went into the
paddock and examined all the horses care
fully, and Lord Rosebery's horse pleased
me the best.
Francis Lynde Stetson, President
Cleveland's law partner, and number OF
other Americans were in the coach with
me, and just for the fun we made up a
pool, SO that we did not require the SER
vices of a bookmaker. [ backed Sir Visto,
all the other Americans telling me was
foolish, saying Lord Rosebery could not
win the Derby twice in succession, but,
as [ had examined the horses this sort of
argument did not affect me and in con-
sequence / won all the money in the
pool. -

New Hampshire and the West naturally
seeks Boston. 1t is a rich line, with
splendid equipment and stations, and a
delightful reputation for earning divi-
dends The Boston & Maine have long
coveted it, and in the palmy days of the
Jones and Sinclair management, made an
effort to capture it, which created a most
memorable contest in the New Hampshire
legislature. Should the Concord be ac-
quired now the Boston & Names power
would reach from Lake Champlain on
the West to Vanceboro on the East, and
from Casco Bay on the coast, far north
ward on the road to Quebec. Years ago
such spectacle of corporate extension
and power would have been viewed with
great alarm; today it hardly causes a
ripple of comment. Fortunately the
management OF the great road seems to
be conducted by safe men, who wish to
raise it to the standard of public service
demanded by the populous and impor-
tant territory which it reaches. 1t has
been felt in the past that some leases en-
tered into had burdened rather than
helped the system; but such can hardly
be the case with the Concord road.

The bimetallists of England, who should
not be confounded with the free silver ad-
vocates of 16 to 1 ratio in America have
drawn up memorial to the British gov
ernment in which they specify certain
evils alleged to have resulted from the
gold monometallic policy. Prominent
among these is the widespread deprecia.
tion of prices. The arguments are SINH
lar to those urged by the silver men in
this country; but the purpose is different.
We do not understand that the English
bimetallists would have England attempt
alone to restore silver They ask that
their statesmen shall relax their unbend
ing attitude towards the question and
enter in good faith into an arrangement
with the other great nations for the pur.
pose of restoring silver to it's old position.
In short they only ask such an attitude
as the United States has always main
tanned.

week ending Monday, Sept. 90, 1895, as
follows:
The weather continued excessively
hot and dry with brisk to nigh souther-
~ winds until Sunday forenoon, when
the hot spell was broken by a sudden
fail in temperature accompanied by a
light rain. The temperature was 80
or above every day except Sunday. Sun
day at 10 o'clock a. m, the maximum
tempera ture was 79.S. high south wind
blowing at the time. At 10:15 a. M
the wind had veered to west, the tenn
perature falling rapidly; by 1890 the
wind was in the north. and at that time
light rain began which continued until
noon, temperature fell from 1913 at 10
a. m, to $50 at noon, fall of SIG de-
grees in two hours; temperature rose 10
degrees during the afternoon, but dur

THE CROPS.
The hot dry weather with the high
south wind during the first five days
of the week was generally unfavorable
to cotton picking. The top crop is re-
ported seriously injured. many of the
bolls drying UP and dropping from the
stem. The crop is reported best in
the eastern counties Of the central sec
ton. and generally better over the CEN
trail than southern section. The acre
age is much the largest in the Chicka-
saw Nation, Southern section) and in
this section the crop is most injured 1t
is not thought that the cold spell a the
close Of the week will materially affect
the yield either for better or worse, but

osption of portions Of the eastern sec
ton is very dry. pastures drying up and

to be done, but generally this work is
about completed. and farmers are now
waiting for rain to put the ground in
condition for fall crops
Late broom corn is about harvested.
This is the first season that broom corn
was generally cultivated The expert
ment has been a success. The crop
has been saved in good condition and
the quality is fine

The hot dry weather dried UP corn

Not a week goes by before the pains
