MAUI) S. Mow the Crowd Cheered when Hhe l.ow rrnl Her Record u quarter of n Hrromt. Fifteen thousand people were at the Rochester Driving Park (N. Y.) when Mand S. trotted her milo in '2:10 1-4. Every one was expectant, and every one tried to get a better view of the track when the mare appeared. At 3 o'clock, William LI. Yanderbilt and party arrived at the track, and occupied the second story of the judges' stand. After the finish of the second heat of tho '2:'2l class tho scraper was R sent around the track, and mon followed it and pickod up all stones or chunks of dirt. Tlioy went close to tho pole, for Hair, tho mare's driver, had told them that she always hugs tho polo, and that she wanted a clean track all along the rail. At 2:45 o'clock tho run ner, Monitor, who was driven by Charles Green at the wheel of the Queen, was taken upon the track for a limber up. At precisely 3:25 o'clock Hair drove the mare upon tho track and took the turn opposite to that leading by tho grand stand. Captain Stono saw her safely ou the track, and then ho walked leisurely up to tho judges' stand. Tho mare was driven very slowly around tho track, and when she came to the dis tance stand, at 3:35 she was heartily cheerod. She pricked up her ears with pride, as is her wont, and jogged around the track once more. While she was making the second round every one was on tiptoe, both in expectancy and literally, for the crowd was so immense that it was im possible for all to see. When she had reached tho third quarter on the second round she turnod back and trotted a mile in the reverse direction. Tho pace was slow all the way around, during which the pools sold almost even en time against her. She came down tho stretch well in an easy, steady gait, with Monitor close behind. When within the distance stand, and while she was going at a 2:30 gait, Bair nodded to the judges, and they sent her away for tho first trial. She trotted tho first eighth slowly, but kej>t increasing her speed until she reached the quarter in 1 0:32 34. When she struck out for the up stretch she settled down into an easy and very steady clip, and kept a i splendid stride with her feet well uq der her, and her driver holding a steady rein on her. She made the second quarter in 0:32 1-2, bringing her to the half in 1:05 1-4. That 'she trotted evenly the remainder of tho mile the time shows. Bair held her out well into the track, and as sho made the third turn without a skip or a waver, the exclamations of the thousands who were timing her were She'll do j it." She trotted the third quarter in 0:32 1-4, the fastest in tho milo by a quarter of a second, bringing her to the three-quarter pole in 1:37 1-2. She ap peared to trot slow when she came into the stretch, but the observers were look- j ing directly into her face and did not appreciate her great speed. Bair did not urge her at all down the stretch, ; bnt let her chooso her own clip. She made the last quarter in exactly the l time of the first quarter—o:32 3-4 reaching the wiro in 2:10 1-4. There ! was intense excitement as sho wont j home, and many who held tickers de clared immediately that she had heat 2:10 1-2. Tho mass of the crowd, how ever, did not have stop-watches, and were not proficient enough to know whether sho had varied a quarter of a second from her record. Therefore they kept qniet until the judges hung out tho fignres, when there was one long unloading of lnng-powor that cre ated au echo far away. Bair let the mare have plenty of space in which to come to a walk, and then walked her slowly np to tho judges' stand. No one seeme.l happier than William 11. Yan derbilt. Ho swnng his hat when tho time was announced, and shook hands with all his friends. When Bair alight ed from the snlky Yanderbilt grabbed bis hand enthnsiasticnlly, and then did the same with Captain Stone. While tho cheers were yet being given the mare wan driven to the stable, and sho did not appear again during tho day. A Helping Hand. The poor give more than the rich. This proposition holds good as a gen eral principle. Money is by no moans the only thing to give in this world; neither do large gifts necessarily eon * tribute more to the happiness of the re ceiver than small gifts. Go into any conntry and converse with the poople. Ask who ministers most to their happi ne:e. Yon will very likely bo told of some venerated clergyman, whose salary has never been more than enough to barely snpport him; or some poor widow, who goes from house to bouse, like a ministering angel, wherever sor % row and snffcring demand coDolation and relief. It is astonishing ho * much one withont money can give. A kind word, a helping haml, the warm sym * pathy that rejoices with those who do , rejoice, and weeps with those who weep. No man ia so poor,'no woman is so poor, * as not to be able to contribute largely ■ to the happiness of those around them.

Of nil things which are to bo met with hero on earth thero is nothing which can give such continual, such cutting, such useless pain as an un disciplined temper. Tho touchy and sensitive temper, which takeH olTcnso at a word; the irri table temper, which finds offense in everything, whether intended or not; tho violent temper, which breaks through all bounds of reason when once roused; tho jealous or sullen tem per, which wears a cloud on tho face all day, and never utters a word of com plaint; tho discontented temper, brooding over its own wrongs; tho se vere temper, which always looks at the worst sido of whatever is done; tho willful temper, which overrides every scruple to gratify a whim—what an amount of pain have these caused in the hearts of men, if wo could but sum up their results! How many a soul have tlioy stirred to evil impulses, how many a prayer havo they stifled, how many an emotion of true affection have they turned to bitterness! How hard they make all duties. How they kill the sweetest and warmest of all domestic charities ! 111-temper is a sin, requiring long and careful discipline.— Bishop Temple. Urllsloua nnd Nolrn. The United Brethren in Christ has 1(10,000 members. The Women's Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist church has now 830 auxiliaries, with 21,3.38 mem bers, and rejoices in a treasury balance of 338,785. There are 300 white Baptist churches in Mississippi, with 50,000 members. Of these churches only ten havo preach ing every Holiday, and of these only six are self-sustaining. The Protestant Germans of Buffalo. N. Y., intend appropriately celebrating the three hundred and sixty-fourth arini. versary of the Reformation on tho last day of October next. Had the Roman Catholic church re tained all her children, says tho Cmholic Teleyritph, there would now l>o in this conntry from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 members of that church, whereas there are now less than 7,000,000. It attrib utes the great loss to the influence of the public schools. The General Baptist Ministerial Fra ternal association of England is abont to establish a " Preachers' Institute" for the purpose of training young men as evangelists anil lay preachers, under the presidency of the Rev. John C'bf- I ford.

Their Sunday clothes include embroidered, thick-sonled sandals and block cambric blouses buttoned np at the side. They are tanght in the schools the English langnage and the duties of citizenship as well as the truths of the Bible. They are very fond of their schools, and soon become runch attached to their teachers.

Wo havo altogether some five trne wild roses in Britain. The commonest is the dog-rose, which everybody knows well; and next comos tho almost equally familiar sweet-briar, with its delicately scented glandular leaves. Tho bnrnot rose is the parent of onr cultivated Scotch roses, and the two other native kinds are comparatively rare. Double garden roses are produced from the sin gle wild varieties by mak ing the ctamens (which aro tho organs for mannfactnring pollen) turn into bright-colored petals. Thero is always more or less of a tendency for stamens thus to alter their character; but in a wild state it never comes to any good, lteeauso such plants can never sot seed, for want of pollen, and so die out in a single generation Gnr gardeners, how ovor, carefnlly select these distorted in dividnals, and so at length produce the large, handsome, barren flowers with which we are so familiar. The cahlmgo and moss roses are monstrous forms thus bred from tho common wild French roses of tho Mediterranean re gion; the China roses are cultivated al>ortions from an Asiatic species; and most of the other garden varieties are artificial crosses lietween these or vari ous other kinds, obtained by fertilizing the seed vessels of one bush with pollen taken from tho blossoms of another of a different sort. To a botanical eye, double flowers, however largo and fine, are never really beautiful, because they lack the order and symmetry which ap pear so conspicuously in the fine petals, the clustered stamens and tha regular •tigmas of the natural torm.—Belgrar .a. t' sdkt2£ 2L,X > * Obi-Time Nevada Jurors.

Before starting for the third heat Midnight was a strong favorite over the field. At the word he went to the front wildly, and he kept breaking throughout the heat.

Mr. Bush, John j Hliaw, of California, and George B. j Alley, of New York, saw that something ; was wrong with the horse, and had his shoes removed. "No harm in that, gentlemen," said Mr. Bush. "That will help the hore, no doubt. But in my opinion he is weak and tired from the effects of tear ing his boots off ami from cutting or 1 thumping his ankles. I propose that j we give him a quart of coffee. It will ' stimulate and strengthen him." The others laughed at the proposition at first, but Mr. Bush insisted, and the coffee wan administered. Mi.

To the surprise of the skeptics, Midnight recovered, went off well, and won the beat cAsilv in 2:20. Mr. Bush then had a pint more of coffee given to Midnight to keep him in trim for the last beat. From the word "Go," Midnight drew away to tho lead, coming home fast and strong, and won tho heat and race handsomely in 2:21.

We ln-ar a great deal about rings now adays, and nothing very good of them, I either. I heard of a ring tho other day that told a story—in fact its own story. I The ring glistened on the finger of a washerwoman through the suds in a tub, I and thus betrayed a secret. The lady J of a certain house in this city hud ad vertised for a laundress to come to her house on certain days. Tho advertise ment was responded to by a neat, rather refined-looking woman. When tho laun- | dress had begun her work tho lady saw shining on a shapely hand a pretty ami peculiar ring. She requested tho priv ilege of looking at it; tho woman hesi tated u moment ami then nervously held out her hand. "That is a class ring," said the lady. "It is," was the response of the laun dress, as she turned her face away. " Where did you get it?" asked the lady, emboldened, perhaps, by the man ner of tho wearer of the ring. " It is my husband's." "At what college did he graduate?" "At Yale." " In what class ?" " The class of 75." That ended the interview for tho time, as the lady could hv no means get from the washerwoman the nnrne of her husband. Tho lady had becu thus un ladylike, perhaps, and curious, because her son wore a class-ring exactly like the one in question, and was a graduate in tho class of '75 at Yale. Bhc told him the story, and one night he followed the laundress to her rooms in Michigan avenue, where lie found an old class, mate and college chum jxiuring over some second-hand law-books. He works in tho whether tliev were to fall into the bridal procession at the gate or at tho .church door. The latter proved to Ik> tho order of theday. Shortly after the six ladies, in their pretty jsile blue lace trimmd dresses, muslin fichus and mob caps, had rmigi-.y themselves in readiness for the the Princess Louise arrived, leaning <>n the arm of tho Duke of Argyll. The prioress wore a cream colored dress, ' slightly trimmed with dark peacock blue, and a small bonnet of tho latter j color. Tho bride's magnificent fignre' was { aeen to advantage in her wedding gown of satin brocade and China crepe. Her - wreath was of real orange blossoms, and a white tulb- veil was thrown over them and her very dark hair. The ser- ! vice was unnecessarily long, no less than three hymns being sung, one con- j se jnenee of which was tho fainting of a little chorister. The procession from tho church to the carriages up the , crimson carjieted path under the trees was very pretty, tho white-rol>ed chor isters preceding the bride and bride groom, an I the Princess Louise and Duke of Argyll following closely ii|wn the bridemaids. Lady Walter Gamp- | liell looked very handsome in her dark sapphire velvet dress, with a jvsle pink feather in her bonnet. One of the guests wore a rich dress of plum-col ored satin, the front exquisitely em -1 roiderod with a design of flowers and loaves in gold and Oriental colors. The gold embroidered ltonnet and alippers imparted a charming air of complete neas to this lovely drees. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Blood, Brick hill, county Clare. Lord Oolin'a liest man was the Marquis of Stafford. The honeymoon is to he spent on the continent.

A black satin underskirt and gold l dotted black satin overdress, trimmed with gold wrought Spanish lace, makes an elegant and becoming toilet. Outside dress pockets are no longer seen, the one nscful pocket being dex terotisly concealed among the folds of the tnnic or under the drapings of the scarf or panier. Judging by tho early importations the colors and combinations which promise to reign in dress fabrics next fall are, if possible, more striking and original than any heretofore exhibited. Costumes of ecrn tussore are fashion able for watering-place and seaside resorts, and are trimmed with bayadere tussore in ombre stripes or plaids show ing soft, bright colors prettily blended. Terra-cotta shades will be very fash ionable thiH autumn in soft woolen fabrics, trimmed with Roman plaided or Persian striped surah, or more ele gantly with panels, re vers, vests, cuffs and pelerines of seal-brown plush. The Derby bat will be worn this fall by natty young ladies, but instead of u single black or pearl-colored one there will be a variety in the rich shades of dark admiral blue, hunter's green, dahlia color, olive anil seal-brown, to match various street costumes.
