Tilt TURF EVENT OF THE AGE.
THE FASTEST TROTTING TIME ON RECORD
BEATEN ON SATURDAY BY "RARUS."
Cleveland, July 29 The closing
trots of the Cleveland club's Summer
mooting, were most brilliant of tbom
pi I. A large number of eager spec
tators were in tbe park, and tbe
grand stands were filled with ladies.
Tho track was in excollont condition,
although a little heavy in sorao places
owing to the recent rain.
Tho first race of tbe day was tbe
i:i class, tor a purse of 1 1,500, dtvid.
ed; $750 to first, $375 to second, 1225
to third, and f 150 to fourth ; mile
boats, best 3 in 5, to harness. Steve
Maxwell won tho raco in the nllb beat,
Woliurd Z. seoend ; Js'olia third and
Boncsotter fourth. Time, 2:24!, 2 20,
2:23, 2:24, 2:25i.
The second race was the 2:20 class ;
purse $2,00, divided ; $1,000 to tbe
first, $500 to second, $300 to tbird and
$200 to fourth. Tho raco was won by
Adelaide in tho sixth heat Midnight
second, Prospem tbird and Mary
Queen fourth. Timo, 2:22, 2:22, 2:23j,
2:231, 2:24, 2:31.
The closing went of tho mooting
was tbe special speed purse ot $1,000,
open to all trotters in harness, milo
beats ; it only ono borso enters or
Btarts, $1,000 to bo paid, if tho throe
first heats aro trotted to average 2:18
or bettor; $500 additional, ii 2:141 is
beaten in any such boats.
John nplan's bay gelding, Karus, the
monarch ot the turf, sired bv Conklin's
Abdullah, started for the purse, Urcnt
eastern and Lulu having been drawn.
thore was no wind and tbe track bad
bocome fast. A running horse to sul
ky was started with bim, but ho was
unable to live the pace. The quarter
was trotted in 331 seconds, the half
in 1:001, the tbreo quarters in $1:40,
and the mile in 2:141. The crowd
cheered Rurus lustily wbon bo return
ed to the stand, 1 be track was scrap
ed for tbe second trial. It was seven
o'clock when Kuril o roceived the word.
A horse under saddle started with him,
but gave out before reaching tho tbird
quarter. Tho marshal of tho track
thon galloped up the stretch and came
home with him. The quarter was done
in 331 seconds, tba hnlf in 1:071, tho
threo quartern in 1:41) and tbe mile in
2:15. The shades of night were oom
ing on when tho third trial was mado.
A horse ran with Rarus to the boad of
the first turn and then went back and
waited to come down the home strutch
with him. Rarus went to tho quartor
pole in JJ seconds, to tbe bait in 1:07
and exclamations were heard that ho
would fail. He was at the third quar
ter in 1:40 and tho hopes of his friends
rovived. iio camo like a shadow down
tho borne stretch and passed under the
wire in 2:ii. it was a great periorm
anco, and Splan was tbe horo of tho
moment. 1 resident huwards called
bim to tho judges' stand and presented
Dim, as coming trom a lad v. a band'
some basket ot flowers for driving
itarua tne three fastest boats in the
world. The meeting bore was a groat
success.
WA PARTIES OF TRAMPS.
In some portions ot tho West, es
pecially in tbe ploasant State of Iowa,
thore is just now an evil that may ex
tend eastward and pay us a visit, and
we should be prepared for it. Tho
tramps aro auureiratiniz into small
bands of fifty to a hundred and terror
izing tbe communities through which
they pass. Until lost vear tiiev used
to move in small squads of two or
throe, begging with piteous whine.
and stealing when the chance offered.
In moving thus they were within tho
control of tho County Constables but
now thoy come in bands that defy tho
law ; they tako possession of railroad
trains and ride whoro they pleaso;
tboy go to the farm-houses and help
themselves to what they want and il
it be denied them tho farmer is in dan
ger of having his barn burnod. Tbev
scornfully refuse whon work is offered
tbom. . borne of thom boost of not hav
ing done a stroko of work for years.
It is not easy to see bow this new
and grievous stage of the tramp nuis
anco is to bo mot. Something must be
done to strengthen the arm of the law.
The formation of vigilance committees
among tho (armors and the rigorous
onforcomont of the vagrant act seems
the most practicable. Men going along
in squads, having do visiblo means of
support, and refusing to work whon it
is oflurcd thom, should bo taken up
and placed in tho House of Correction
and made to work. A certain discre
tion and caro would be needed to keep
from oppressing honest poverty in
soarob of work. But there ought to
be no great difficulty in distinguishing
botween a laborer in misfortuno and a
lazy, villainous tramp: the one should
rocoive assistnnco, and other punish
ment. Wo do not think that any ad
ditional legislation l's required, but
there is needed a more vigorous en
forcement of tho laws wo have. It
was last vear, during the labor riots.
that the tramps learned tho advantage
oi moving in largo bodies, t hey tout-
ed the delight of defying and over
throwing for the wbilo tbe laws of the
country. Thoy havo bognn this year
to put into practice the lesson loaruod
thon and the fact that thoy bavo com
bined to defy tho law makes it noedful
that society shall combine to crush
tbom. Dr. Carver, the wonderful rifle
man, who shoots 5,500 glass balls in
five hundred minutes, might be profit
ably turned looso in Iowa with instruc
tions to practice on the eye-balls of
tramps.
ORIQIX OF SOME POPULAll.
SA YIJXGS. .
Almost every ono has on hand a store
of trite apposite sentences, using them
dally, but having no knowledge of
their authorship ; and aa mon are apt
to be curious conoorning the habits and
laws that they follow or are governed
hy, tracing their origin back into tho
dimntMsor long-slumbering centuries,
so they are often possessed with a de
sire to know who first framed these
words into the sentences so familiar to
them. As thoy have aot all the time
to devote to such a labor, tho following
have been strung together by one

DEATH OF A BALLOONIST.
Over two thousand people bad col
lected near tho railroad station at I'.lm
wood, III., on a rocunt Saturday even
ing to witness a balloon ascension by
L. 1 1. Atkinson, about sundown, lho
balloon, inflated with hot air, being cut
loose, the aeronaut holding on to tbe
trapeze with ono hand, waved an adieu
to the penplo, saying as he wont tip:
It is the poorest ascension 1 ever mado,
but I'll do the best I can." As it arose
Atkinson swung his feet ovor the bar,
and, hooking on by tbe knoo joint,
hung with bis head down, lie next
hooked his feet at the junction of the
rope, where it was laatonod to the bar,
suspending himself at full length, Tbo
balloon by this timo has ascended in
tbe quiet evening air between two and
three bundred teet. Atkinson, then
righting himself, suspended himself
from tho bar by ono arm, whon sud
denly, as if noralizod, he let go his hold
and fell, still holding up bit arms. The
horror which seized the spectators at
this momont was pitiful to see. Women
screamed and fainted, Children shriek
ce), and mon hid their facos to shut out
tbe awlul speetaclo. the unlorlunalo
man fell on bis back with a shocking
thud. Whon he was taken up be was
stone doad. Tbo mangled corpse was
then carried to the Loots House to
await the order of his widowed moth
er, who resides in Burlington, Iowa.
Atkinson waa in tho employ ot J. A.
rvhellony, one ol the well-known
Whotlony brothers, acrobats. Ho bad
been making ascents daily since lust
April, along the narrow gauge railroad
from Ht Louis to Cairo, and back to
l'oona and Minonk, and the littlo com
pany of fivo was now on its way to
Galosbnrg. The noronaul'sbrother-in-law,
W. W. Dodd, took the body to
llurlington tor burial. Atkinson took
the place of Donaldson under Bnrnum's
management when that perlormor dis
appeared. Some three years ago, in
making an ascent trom Calhoun, Ky.,
the balloon caught firo, and Atkinson
tell a distanco of one thousand foot,
striking the branch of a tree, which
broke the fall. Jle escaped with a few
fractures, and went into tbe businoss
again. Ho was prompt and active, and
the only way to acoount tor the last
mishap Is that be was unnerved by the
too free use of liquor.
Goi.drmitu'b OPINION. The modest
virgin, the prudent wite, or the care
ful matron, are much more serviceable
in lite than peiticoated philosophers,
blustering heroines or virago queens.
She who makes her husband and her
children happy, who reclaims the one
Irom vice and trains the other to vir
tue. Is a much greater character than
ladies described in romanco, whose
sole occupation is to murder mankind
with shafts from their quiver or their
eyes. ..
REPUBLICAN,
THE UNSHOD HORSE.
An oxchange dilates in this way up
on borso shoeing : Bocauso horses go
unshod in some parts of Brazil, Aus
tralia, India and Cbinoso Tartary, and
appear to be none tho worse for it, cer
tain lute writers on horse topics have
started the inquiry whether ull horse
shooing is not a mistuko, and whether,
after throe or four generations of indu
ration, horse's feot would not adapt
tnomsoivos to tuo nard and macadam
ized roads ovor which thoy are com
pelled to travel in most civilized coun
tries so that iron shoos should thereaf
ter be unnocessary. Tbo matter bos
led lo somo discussion, and inquiry has
naturally turned backward to seo at
what remote timo tbe luBbion ot horse
shoeing was introduced. Tho most
ancient known specimon of an iron
shoe, fastened with nails, was discover
ed in tbo fomb of Childoric, King of
lho Pranks. 1 bo use ol iron shoes by
lho northern barbarians of Kurope is
accounted lor Dy tuo reason that the
born of the hoof is infirm in cold and
damp countries and tbe use of iron was
a necessity. Without this aid they
would not have been able to uccomplish
those harassing migrations with which
thoy carried tho people of Southern
Kuropo. A Muhommedan logened des
cribes the horso of tho uneto ot tho
Prophet as shod with iron. A lute
writer in discussing tho mailer says
that ia highly improhablo that an in
vention which by degrees has been
received into such general favor was
not originally a blessing. Wbero it is
otberwiso it has become a curso, just
as our own boots and shoes have bo
come a curse, either from too great a
regard for appearances or from the ig
norance, clumsiness or brutality of the
workmen by whom either ourselves or
our horses are shod. The invention of
horso-sliocing completed tin conquest
ol the horse. In shoeing, it Is not the
foot only that bus to be considered ; it
is tho set of the limb, the linos, wheth
er regular or faulty ; tho nnturo of tho
exorciso imposed upon a colt, and the
condition ot tho ground on which bo
will gallop, l be loot must havo a sul
ficiont protection without overloading
il with metal, and, wbilo keeping tho
shape intact, make allowance for tho
elasticity ot the hoof, for tho stretching
of the hoels in tbo course of a strong
gallop, etc. jsoneol Iheso consiueiO'
lions can bo solely neglected ; it may.
tboreloro bo readily imagined bow
much experience observation, ability
and tact a good lamer must possess,
No sound reasons can bo given for
abandoning horse shoos. Their use is
demonstrably recommended by the
practice of centuries among people who
understood how to got the bestservieo
out of horseflesh. What is wanted is
the careful study and skill which shall
adapt tbe horse's shoo to tho road he
has to travel and tho climate he lives
in. If anything can be doviscd for the
promotion ot the comfort ot tho horso,
if any shoo can be invented, or any
now way of fastening a aboo which
shall add to the ease of travel tor tho
luithful quadruped, thai is the path for
philanthropy. To take off the horse's
shoes and drivo him unshod ovor tho
loose gravel of the country or the fix
ed cobblestones of tbe city would be a
cruelty which hardly admits ol oxperi
mont. A Fast Ahe. Tho telegraph, which

THE COMMUNIST LEADER.
The Philadelphia Record says of him
Kearney, tbe California Communist, if
bo Is a communist, appears to be a man
ot considerable natural ability and
forco of character. As a sailor ho
worked his way up from a position be
fore tlo most to tho post of mate of a
clipper ship at the early ago ot four

one of tbo largest sailing vessels then
afloat at tho ago of nineteen. When
ho quit tbe soa be went into tbe dray-
ing business at bun i runcisco, in which
bo is said to havj prospered. It is
much to his credit that ho has always
stipportod bis widowod mother, r.vi

and honest impulsoa, though the
strength ol tho latter has impelled him

cso cheap labor" is another especial ob
ject of bis rough invective, and in as
sailing turn in Caldornia ho won great
applauso, of oourso. In Massachu
setts, however, where Kearney will
soon be addressing tbo workingmon,
he will not havo tho benefit ot so bit
tor a prejudice against Chinamon and
will havo to content himself with do
nouncing the capitalists, mill-owners,
bankers and monopolists. Great pre
parations aro being mado lor him in
Boston. A petition is now in circula
tion in that city to secure Fanouil Hall
for a mass mooting to bo held soon.
This hall was once, shut against tbe
great Webster, but the chances are
that it will bo opened for Koarnoy, who
comes to help Butler, a much "smart

ever dosired to bo. Butler will proba
bly coach Kearney and induce him to
omit his usual oaths and imprecations,
which would not bo grateful to Boston

It is to bo feared that tho Knglish lan
guage will provo too weak lor bim
without tho sulphurous adjectives he
is accustomed to employ. But. with
his strong feelings and rongh forco of
mind, backed by his pluck, bo may
provo ablo to mako speeches both pow
erful and decent. Evidently the peo
plo ol tho "Huh" aro very anxious to
hear him, and wo hope he will not dis
gust thom by interlarding his orations
with wicked words and uLmoono allu

his own, Kearney should take high
moral ground in Massachusetts.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY M. L. McUUOWN.
As a matter of interest to many of
our teachers who are wen acquainted
with the following persons, we tako
tbe liberty of making reference to their
whereabouts. G. Walter Dale, who
taught at Lumber City during tho
winters ol 74 and 70, and who con
ducted tho River Sido Select School
for ono term, in Bell township, writes
us that he is about opening a school in
Cincinnati, Ohio, to be known as tbo
"American School of Vocal Art." Mr.
Dale graduated at tho National School
of Oratory, in Philadelphia, the Spring
oi iBio, and to day, as an elocutionist,
he Btands in tho first rank.
Prof. G. W. Innis, for a numbor of
yours Principal of tho Now Washing
ton Academy, and afterwards teacher
oi tho llign School in that place, now
holds a high position as teacher in
Colorado.
Miss Julia E. Peters, (as she was
known to us) who still lives in the
memory of those who know hor as a
faithful and devoted teacher, and who
was Sooretary of our Institute in the
wintor ot li4, keeps a school "vastly
different than that of yore," at Klko,
Nevada. About two years ago she
changed the Miss to Mrs., and since
that time the Miss Poters that we
knew has been known as Mrs. Light
ner. In a letter to a friend, not long
since, she made a careful inquiry about
our schools and teachers.

The following hints on tbo duties of
teachers we clip Irom the Normal
Teacher, a livo educational magazino
published at Danville, Indiana. It con
tains a good lesson for those who think
bocauso their wages are low thoy
snonia oo cneap work :
Map out in your own minds a pro
gramme for each day's work. You
will find it invaluable to you.
Mako yourself thoroughly familiar
with the topics and lessons to be pre
sented and studiod evory day, so that
the mind may accommodate itself to
the chatigo of exorcisos, and that vou
may be able to hoar a losson without
having your nose tied to tbe text-book.
Remember that there aro five days
in a week, and four weeks in a month,
and that it is impossible to do in ono
month what, in tbe nature ot things,
will require throe.
Cultivate the habit of finishing a
task wituin a presorihed time, and re
quire the same of your pupils.
Nover attempt to patch a recita
tion. We fear that tho lato, and almost
univorsal reduction of toachors' waees
in our country schools will greatly
lessen the teacher's interest in bis
work, as a consequence, many of our
schools will suffer lor such unwise leg
islation. Again, tho trennont chang
ing of country teachers is to bo great
ly deplored, vt bon a teacher hires
out for five or six months, he is almost
sure that be will not teach thore again.
i nese lacta stare bim in tbe lace : "1
am not gotting what I earn, and I will
probably not teach horo again, so I
don't care."
Somo one has said, we don't remem
ber who, that "no teacher ought to
enter a school to toach that school, un
less ho feels that horo is my work for
tho next ten years." We shall put it
much stronger than this: No teacher
ho should take charge ot a school unless
feels that "horo is my work, not mere
ly for ten years, not alone for lile, but
that 1 am doing work for eternity;
nnd that for every recitation slighted,
for ovory momont wasted, and for
every opportunity of instructing and
guiding aright the hearts and minds
ot those under my care, unimproved,
God will hold me lo strict account."
lcacher, unless you can work your
self up to this spirit of thought, you
ought not to go into tho school room.
in inaaing your contract wun 01
reotort or trustees, nioko the very best
bargain you can, and if you hire out
at ion dollars a month, do just as good
work as inoiigh you were command
ing a cool hundred. Remember that
when you aro cneaaod lo teach a
school, your Influence, knowledge.
moral and intellectual culture, and
everything that you can give as a
teacher, aro due your patrons and DU-
ils. Teach as faithfully, energetical
) and honestly for small waees at for
largo. Work not on the principle of
so-caiied political economy, but on tbo
principles of eternal justice and right.
Teacher, do you love your profes
sion? Is It fascinating? Do you feel
that you are by nature adapted to it?
ii so do not let any cause drive von
from it The Master bas peculiarly
fitted you for the work which be in
tended yon to poiform. These God
given powers aro not possossod by
every one. If you have them thoy
were given you for nse, and you should

What matters it if you do work
bard? What matters it if, in dollars
and ConlS. VOU do not crnt naa fn. all
your labor f Remember that "it ia not
all of life to live, nor all of death to
lie." Remember that it will be left
lor eternity to lift tho veil and reveal
to you what you have been enabled to
accomplish. Remember that It will
afford swcolor happiness in the hour
of death to have trained one immortal
mind aright than to have ruled an em

enslaved the world. Normal Teacker.
