The great university race on Saratoga

Wcdeyuu, Union and Princeton. The

Harvard was only four seconds behind, and
Columbia came in third. Princeton was

that tills will be the last contest at Saratoga.

Here arc two bird stories from the New
Castle Guardian: Joseph Sankey, of the
J irst ward, has a cage containing three
canaries, which he occasionally hangs on
the veranda in front of his residence. For
Kime time it has been noticed that a wren
has been in the habit of perching on top of
the cage. This proceeding attracted atten
tion when it was discovered that the wren
was feeding the canaries with seed through
the bars. The little wren still continues to
do this, and is now the observed of all ob
servers. Here is another, something simi
lar : There is a cage of canaries at the re
Mdencc of "William Horner, on Jefferson
Hreet. A little bird, popularly known as
a "chippy," goes to this cage every day,
and is fed from the inside by the canaries.
Jhese two incidents certainly show that the
feathery kingdom is endowed with more
generosity than falbj -to the share of all
men.
Church ParsoDages not Exempt frjm
Taxation.
Judge Harding, of Luzerne cpunty,
recently delivered an opinion on the sub
ject of taxation, ia which he decides that
''parsonages belonging to churches or
rcligxu societies, as well as institutions
denominational in character, and not of
purely public charity," are no longer
exempt from taxation for county, road, city,
borough, poor and school purposes, nor can
legislative fiat make them so. They should
therefore be returned, valued and assessed
hke other property throughout the Commonwealth.
The fire-cracker bill for 1876 foots up'

A storm in the shape of a waterspout
near Loudonsville, Ohio, recently destroyed a
number of wheat fields, carried olfone hun
dred head sheep and washed out several
hundred feet of railroad track, in some
places to the depth of eight feet.
Studying economy. The falling off this
summer in the pleasure travel to Europe is
forty per cent., and the falling off in ex
travagance at watering places will probably
be as much more.
Some tourists found a spot in the Cats-

The Fourth of July celebration at South

Thomas, of Phillipsbursr, formerly a brake-

breast and face, lioth men were under

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
All Well at Fort Fetterman.
Omaha, July 20. A message was re

"A private courier has just arrived from

courier was started with a mad and ofiicia
matter, but has not yet arrived. All is
juiet and well in camp.
MIXERS KILLED BY THE CIIEYEXXES.
St. Louis, July 20. A special from

of Sitting Hull in the fight with Custer
Crazv Horse and lla-k Moon were also
killed. The total loss of the Indians wil
reach nearly -WO. Nearly all the buck

Keeping up the Standard.
The proprietor of a Proadway soda foun
tarn has had up to a week ago, a maliciou
minded young man in his employ. A montl
ago when a man with a white necktie and
solemn look entered and said he would take
pineapple in his, the young man substituted
brandy instead, and was rewarded by hear
ing the good man say :
-Keep that pineapple up to that stand
ard, and 1 11 come over from Jersey at leas
once a-day to patronize vou.
He came again and again, and every time
he cam i he wiped off his chin with tendc
motion and benign expression, and whis
pered that Jersey City soda fountains were
over fortv miles hehmd the times on pine

apple syrup. iut wtien he dropped m
again vesterda', he found a new young man
at the fountain. He wiped his heated brow
and called for his old favorite, but after
sip or two at the frothy beverage, he in
quired if he didn't order pineapple syrup.
'loa did and you jfot it, was the re
-It can't be can t be, voting man.
have had soda water here for the last four
weeks, and the young man alwavs drew the
pineapple svrup out of that faucet up there
'He did ; why that's brandy I" exclaim
ed the boy.
The good man looked at him a longtime
a shade of sadness gradually stealing over
his face, and as he put down his nickle and
went out he said :
'That other young man is on the higl
mad to degradation, and yet I wonder why
they can't make pineapple syrup with some
thing of that upper faucet flavor to it !
The other day. on a Hudson llivcr, train
a man with a bald head and a red nose had
a word to say to everybody in the smoking
car. He announced that he was a Uaptist
and he was traveling around, he said, to
find some one who dared sav one word
throw out one little hint that the Baptists
were not the highest cocklorums on earth
When he had found such a mau he wanted
to call him a human hyena, a blood thirsty
horse thief, and then knock his teeth dow
his throat and jam his shoulder blades down
through the soles of his feet.
Some laughed at him and some sneered
and he was permitted to shoot off his mout
as much as he wanted to. licaching asta
tion, a few miles from New York, the train
made quite a lengthy halt, and many of the
passengers got out to stretch their limbs
The champion Baptist was ."still harping
on my daughter," and rushing up to a big
six-footer from Illinois, tie yelled :
"I want to find some one who dares say
a word against the Baptists !
"G'way from me," growled the Illinoisan
"Just say that you are a Presbyterian
and I'll make your knees break your back!
roared the champion.
"G'way I say !" was the decp-toned warn
xng.
"Sha ! Now the flimsy disguise comes
off! Now the vail of hypocrisy falls to the
ground. Own up that you are a 1 resby
tiriau and give me a chance to mangle
you !"
"Sec here, boy !" growled the six-footer
as he pushed up his sleeves, "I'm a drover
and a horse jockey, but I can't stand this.
In order to accommodate you, I'll say that
I'm a Presbyterian minister, and further
that I hate Baptists. Now claw me !"
The Baptist clawed at him, but he was
knocked down, stepped on and rolled off
the platform before he could wink three
times. He didn't toe the mark worth a
cent, but holding on to his left ear, with
all bis might, he made for the car and took
his seat, having nothing to say except :
"That's the way with them Presbyterians
they always sneak around' and kick' a
man in the stomach !'
Special JSTotice.
"The safety of the people is the highest law,"
was an old lawgiver's maxim. Messrs. Wana-
maker S& Brown, at their great Oak Hall
Clothing House in Philadelphia, seems to have
adopted the old maxim. There is absolutely
no risk in buvine of them. !No mistake of a
salesman, or inexperience of a customer can
ever be taken advantage of. The firm gives to
every buyer a guarantee, over their own signa
ture, covering everv possible point at which a
purchaser can need protection, Such deter
mination to take every obstacle out of the way
f buying clothing is worthy of sincereapplause.
