ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRESS OF FAST TROT- rERS SHOW THAT ALL OF THEM HAVE PAICING BLOOD IN THEIR VEINS.

In a letter from Pleasant Prairie, Wis., to The Horseman, *‘J. B. J.” argues in favor of the *‘outcast pacer,” and among other things says;

bevond a doubt that the shout is finding an echo in the minds of large numbers of the American people. President Cleve- land bas found it to be neces- sary to counteract the effect f the shout upon his canvas for another term at the White House, by issu- ing a proclamation threatening t

retaliate mercial relations with sooth, she has had the courage to protect her fisheries against the aggressions of the United States fishermen. A few months ago President Cleveland signified his

Herein, then, lies the significance of the situation. There are, deep down in the American heart, sparks of jealousy and enmity against Canada and Great Britain which only need to be blown upon by the wind of the politicians to burst into an open flame.

One among the troubles ahead of most pu vlishers is the size of the sheet. Where it is -o large that it cannot be managed, the un- fortunate publisher begins to take trash ad- v ising at any rate offered merely to fill up.

cross in their speed inheritance. The aaeadt dam of Almont was by Pilot jr., and while he ranks among the greatest of trotting sires, some of our greatest pacing performers are included in his get of the first and second generation. George Wilkes, whose dam was by Henry Ciay, whose dam was a pacing mare, while heading the list of great trotting sires, hos also produced more fast pacers than Blue Bull, which was a purely bred

pacing-trotting sire. Wedgewood, 2.19, with no known pacing cross, has pacers as his fastest performers. Evtectioneer, with a

remote pacing cross in his inheritance, is proving a phenomenal sire. Sultan, the greatest young trotting sire of the age, shows 4 strong dash of pacing blood in his pedigree. Nutwood also has the despised pacing element in his composition. The performers with the fastest records have a pacingancestry. Maud S., with her queenly 2.08}, has a dam by Pilot, Jr. The wonderful Jay-Eye-See, with his unequalled five-year-old performance, 2. 10, also had a dam by Pilot, Jr. Wild Flower, two-year-old record 2.21, has a double pacing cross. The breeding of Sable Wilkes, which heads the roll of honor as the fastest three- year-old performer, 2.18, comprises pacing | Manzanita, whose 2.16 heads the list of all four-year-old performances, had a pacing-bred dam. The __ ill-fated Norlaine, with her brilliant mark of 2.314 at one year old, had for her double grandam the famous Green Mountain Maid, whose breed- ing contains pacing blood. Thus the records show that the greatest performers at all ages had pacing blood coursing in their veins. And to this may be added the fastest mile ever trotted, 2.08}, the fastest heat ever made in a race, 1.134, and the fastest mile over a half- mile track ; all were made by trotters with a pacing ancestry. Do not these unequaled performances clearly prove that the outcast pacer has been a potential factor in producing our record-breakers? Such uniformity of cvincidences cannot be claimed as accidental variations, but rather point to a strong speed inheritance.

Nourished Through Her Skin.

Miss Annie Cole, a youug woman living in Ciay Street, near Jefferson, died the other day after a protracted illness, having been nourished for several months preced- ing her death, through the pores of her skin. The case is am extremely unusual one, and has attracted considerable atten- tion. Some time azo, whenit was found impossible to administer nourishment to the invalid through the usual channel, every device was resurted to that she might be saved fromdeath by starvation. The stomach rejected all food, and even the liquid gruels and other substances which were introduced did not remain in the stomach long enough to impart nourish- ment. Miss Cole was emaciated, and on the point of death when the attending physicians noticed that the action of the pores of the skiu was normally heslthy. As half of the digestible matter 1s emifted through the pores of the skin, an effort was made to :utroduce nourishment in that way. A mixture of oil and grease was composed and applied externally. The heated skin rapidly absorbed the nourishment, and _ the patient showed signs of renewed vigor. After each of these applications the skin was carefully cleaned, and in this way Miss Cole lived.—Pall Mall Gazette.

A Tough Story.

HOW A SPANIARD KILLED FIFTY MEN WITH FIFTY SUCCESSIVE RIFLE SHOTS.

A despatch from San Francisco gives ad- ditional details concerning the killing of fifty natives of the village of Antique, India(?) by one Spaniard, a report of which hus been received by steamer Oceanic. It seems that the only white men in the vil- lage are two Spaniards, one of whon. is a priest. There has been bad feeling between the natives and the Spaniards for some time, and recently an attack was made up- on the priest. The other Spaniard took his rifle and cartridges and hastened to the rescue of the priest. He found the latter’s dwelling surrounded by a black mob, howl- ing for blood, aud he opened fire on the crowd. He picked out the biggest and fore- most men and shot them down, one by one. When he had used up 50 cartridges, 50 dead blacks lay before him. The natives, awe-stricken, fled in terror, crying that che Spaniard was assisted by the evil one. It is believed that had it not been for the markmanship and nerve displayed in this case, the natives in the neighboring pro- vince would have risen and massacred the Europeans living there.

Russia's Exiles.

Mr. George Keenan will contribute to the September Century an article on ‘* Exile by Administrative Process,” in which he gives a great number of instances of the banishment of persons to Siberia, without the observance of any of the legal form- alities that in most countries precede or attend «a deprivation of rights. Mr. Keenan will also discuss, in the open letter in this number of the Century, the ques- tion, ‘Is the Siberian Exile System to be at Once Abolished?” stating his reasons for believing that the plan of reform now being discussed in Russia, and which is said by the London Spectator to involve the entire abolition of exile to Siberia as a method of punishment, will not be put into operation. Mr. Keenan says that the pre- sent plan is one proposed by the chief of the Russian Prison Department, with whom he had a jong and interesting conversation just before his departure from St. Peters- burg. It grew out of the many complaints of the respectable inhabitants of Siberia, who demanded that the penal classes of Russia should not be turned loose upon

them. The Russian official only hoped to restrict and reform the system, so as to make it more tolerable to the Siberian people, by shuttiag up in prisons in

Europear: Russia a certain proportion of prisoners who are now sent to Siberia. This reform would have affectetl in the year 1885 fewer than three thousand exiles out of a total of ten thousand,

Before such a plan goes to the Council of State for discussion, it is always. submitted to the ministers within whose jurisdiction it falls,—in the present case, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of the Interior. Two of these oficers have already disapproved of the plan, the Minister of Justice declaring that ‘* exile to Siberia for political and religious offenses must be preserved,” and it is Mr. Kennan’s belief that the scheme will not even roach the Connéil of State.

This is by no means the first measure of reform which has been submitted to the Tsar’s ministers, but every effort has so far been fruitless, and the plans have been found ** impracticable.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

“System is Everything.’

Sir, —The adaptation of. accemmodation to uses is, according to its degree, so im- portant in all that concerns human con- venience, that it isa wonder that’ more self-evident improvements, particularly when the whole publie would be benefitted, are not attended to. The market area is groaning to be put in order and assert its capabilities. What these are, if thrown into order (Heaven’s first law, but nota very glaring weakness with Charlottetonians), would be both an enrichment of the city and a ** mity convanience ” to her citizens. The outskirts of the market place would furnish accommodation under roof for some sixty wagons, and yield between $500 and $1,000 annually. No fence would be required, but the shedding so placed that a bread planked walk (adjoining the present narrow ones) would permit citizens to ap- proach the tail ends of the wagons of the marketmen, without having to circulate through masses of filth, as now, and crowds of obstruction.

Artistic shed-roofs of galvanized iron and the light iron supports common every- where (where beauty is an equal object with utility), can now be obtained, suited to any form of shedding ; and if our Mar- ket Square were only once to take on this livery of ornament, and great convenience to both buyers and sellers, many points of advantage would be gained. That ‘* blot on the Square” (the Market House) would be less conspicuous, the pavement com- mittee would get a nice littlejob, the law and order men would feel better, provision- ers would show a better article, salesmen would get more customers, and all Char- lottetown would experience a new sensa- tion of

CLEANLINESS,

The Power of Words.

A wealthy man who owns a country resi- dence recently became dissatisfied with it, and determined to have another; so he in- structed a real estate agent famous for his descriptive powers, to advertise it in the papers for private sale, but to conceal the location, teliing purchasers to apply at his oftice. Ina few days the gentleman hap- pened to see the advertisement, was pleased with the account of the place, shc wed it to his wife, and the two concluded that it was just what they wanted, and that they would secure it at once. So he went to the office of the agent aud told him that the place be had advertised was such a place as he de- sired, and he would purchase it. The agent burst into a laugh, and told him that that was the description of his own house where he was then living. He read the ad- vertisement again, cogitated over the ** grassy slopes,” beautiful vistas,” ‘*smouoth lawn,” ete., and broke out, *‘Is it possible’ Well, make out my bill for advertising and expenses, for, by Geurge! 1 wouldn’t sell the place now for three times what it cost me.
