pleasure when a stranger approaches,

impunity.
Ten yearo ago four trotters out of
five were vicious. Dexter made
verybody but his groom and driver
keep at a safe distance. Ilodine
was a man-killer, being equally
ready to bits, kick, or strike. Gold
smith Maid permitted familarity
from no one but '"Old Charley, her
groom, who during live years slept
but three nights out of her stall, a
hag in which were the oats for her
morning feed being his pillow, and
!t daybreak the eld mar would
waken him by pushing at the bag
with her nose. Mr. Case's first rule
witli his horses is that they thai" be
treated kiudly, and Gov. Sprague,
for whom he paid ?27,o'J). would
follow him around like a dog, and
enjoyed nothing better than being
fed lumps of sugar from the hand
of Mr. J. I. Case, who feels the
defeat of one of her favorites even
more keenly than does their owner,

For twelve successive weeks a
high-class trotter is expected to keep
in form and be ready for a geou race
every seven days. That he may be
able te do this the utmost care must
be given him. A square stall, as
large as a bed-room, furnished him
ample space t move about when
not otherwise engaged during the
day, and at nieht he lies down on a
thick bed of the cleanest straw that
money can buy. A capable groom
looks after his ever' want. At 5 or
' o'clock in the morning the trotter
is given a light breakfast and taken
out for exercise end speeding. This
over, he is carefully rubbed with
cloths until every hair made wet by
Inspiration is dry again and his
coat shines like satin. Wet banda
ge are placed on his legs to allay
any inflammation that might be
caused by the violent exercise to
which he has been subjected, and a
light sheet keeps the flies from an

the afternoon he is taken out and
walked without harness for about an
hour, and then fed and disposed of i

Garriaoned by One Man.
Old Fort Washington, on th Po-
tomac river, is garrisoned by one
noldior, Servant II. F. Joyce of the!
. . ti,. .rcnt
has Lis family with bin. aud lives
in the old ivy-covered house, sur-
roundJ with broad verandas, that
was at oae time occupied by the
commanding officer of the fort. Fort
Washington is one of the oldest de
fences in the United .States. The
work of constructing it was com
menced in 1!S0S from plans prepared
by one of General Lafayette's engin
eer staff oflicers, under the personal
supervision of General Washington.
The structure was not completed un
til until after the war of 1S12, and
even after that date many improve
ments were made. After the com
pletion of the fort, it was regarded

General Lafavette
in the wna.
. 1.1
General Lafavette visited the spot
during his second visit to this couu
try,
After a tour of inspection
through the underground chambers
and outside rifle pits, he turned to
the commanding officer nnd remark
ed :
"This is the Gibraltar of Amer
ica.'" A reporter went through the fort
the other day and viewed the ancient
and massive misonry of war. The
engineer planned many ingenious
ways of preventing surprises by
shore parties. The high and sloping
declivities from the parapets to the
water's edge are covered by stone
crested rifle pits and adroitly con
cealed small cannons for firing grape
and canister. The Potomac, front
ing the south end of the fort, pre
sents the appearance of a vast lake.
The river turns at that point, and the
curving stream winds gracefully
about the high bluff on which the
fort stands. The large, smooth bore
barbette guns, which were formerly
mounted on the south end, com
manded at least live miles of the riv
er below, and in olden times it
would have been impossible for any
of the old wooden line-of-battle
ships to have even reached the bend
before they were riddled with can
non balls. The interior of the old
fort present? a very dilapidated ap
pearance. It has not been garrisoned
since the late rebellion. The grounds
and walls are overgrown with weeds
and gras, and the frame structures
have long since gone to decay.
In view of the fact that the brick
and stone walls of the fort would
toon crumble into dust before the
terrific lire of modern artillery, the
fovernment has decided to disman
tle the old structure, and work has
already been commenced. It is es
timated that at least HMMI,M
hrick were used in the construction
of Fort Washington. As fast ns
these bricks are taken ul of the
walls and casements they are broken
into fine pieces and piled on the
shore for use bv the government in
constructing other defences at that
very strategic point. The latter will
consist of a series of formidable
earthworks, extending around the
river shore. Already several earth
batteries have been finished and
mounted with guns. Sergt. Joyce
said there were enough bricks in the
entire fort and its connections to
build a fair sized city. The cells of
the old guard-house, at the postern,
extend away underground. The air
inside is cold and clammy, and long
icicle designs of sparkling soda and
other minerals have formed from
the curved walls, and extend nearly
to the stone flooring. On the chim
ney of the guard-house is a large
wooden sun-dial with faded figures
that has told the time of day for
over fifty years. If Congress ap
propriates the amount asked for, the
old land-mark will, in a few years,
be entirely obliterated and replaced
by modern defences.
How Tliey Vote in Mexico.
Mexico may be said to be a limit
ed Republic that is, everybody is
entitled ro vote, but nobody votes.
That is, next to nobody. I5y law,
all permanent residents Spaniards,
Americans, Italians, Germans, In
dians, negroes, mulattoes, meztizoes
and zamboes can vote on arriving
at 21 years of age. There is no se
cret ballot, but each one must be
signed with the voter's name- and
residence.
In the country there is a voting
place near every hacienda. In this
city there are 23 of these precincts
one for each lO.tKJO of the popula
tion. The voting offices are called
casillas electorales (Jittle houses for
election.) Kach precinct is presided
over by a judge and two clerks.
Just before election day the super
visor sends to each qualified voter a
paper called the boleta, etating that
a president is to be chosen and in
structing the recipient how and
where to vote. The latter writes on
the back of the boleta two names
of gentlemen whom he thus desig
nates as electors from his state, signs
his name, coe to the polls, and
drops it in the box.
This is what he may do, I mean,
but it is als what he doesn't do.
Probably not one man in a hundred
in Mexico really votes for president.
It goes bv default, for some reason
that 1 have not yet distinctly ascer-
m the eves ol the coming president,
and moted by that fervent gratitude
which is a lively sense of favors ex
pected, collects the boletus which
have been received by tlie numerous
peons who work his iordly acres and
generously goes to the casilla and
deposits them. Sometimes, when
the indiflerenceof'a city is too unan
imous to lok well in the returns, a
regiment of soldiers are disguised in
citizen's clothes, it is said, and

A cargo of human freight left
France the other day, in which I am
eomewhat interested. It is to me a
rather novel way of solving, writes a
Parie rresiondent, a certain phase
of the woman's rigbU question, but
I am not so sure that the solution is
a correct one. It seems that each
year one of the general inspectors of
prisons visits the six central peni
tentiaries where women convicts are
serving their time, to jisk for volun
teers to goto New Caledonia as wives
for convicts, serving out sentences
in that penal colony. Fifty women
who answered this appeal were
shipped the other day from Bor
deaux, and when they arrive at New
Caledonia they will be divided be
tween the two religious establish
ments, one at Nomea, and the other
at BouraiL The convicts of the first
class that is, those who have dis
tinguished themselves by good con
duct, and who are accordingly to be
rewarded by land grants are in
formed of the arrival of the women.
Those who are unmarried, or who
are widowers and desire to get mar
ried, go to Nomea er to liourail,
where they are allowed to make
their choice among the women.
Of ceurse, they are not forced to
make a choice, nor are the women
forced to marrv if the men who se
lect them do not please them, lhe
authorities introduce the men and
women to each other and allow
them to act as they please. During
the last century a more rapid and
curious system was in force. When
the women arrived they, with the
men, were drawn up in lines lacing
each other. The name of a man
was called, and then the name of a
woman, and whep the list had been
called over the couples thus paired
were at once married. As lor the
women who volunteer to exchange
their cells in St. Lazare and the oth
er prisons of France for a husband
and perpetual exile in the islands
of the Pacific, it is sale to say that
they are neither the'ycuugest, the
prettiest, nor the gentlest of iier sex.
But, then, those whom they are to
marrj' are not fellows who can ex
cite much sympathy and they ought
to consider themselves lucky that
they are given land and allowed to
found a family.
The Government gives each bride
a little trousseau and the husband
is granted certain small favors.
Along with the fifty women that
sailed from Bordeaux were a few
wives f convicts nnw in New Cale
donia, who have obtained permis
sion to join their husbands and who
are accompanied by their children.
It is hoped that m this way the coi-
c.nies may be peopled, and that those the brave,
convicts who have been sent abroad j As has been repeatedly shown,
for their country's good may lay the i there is in most ol the States, New

those who have studied it. It used
to be believed that Australia was
civilized and settled by convicts that
England transported to it, but this
is a legend. With very few excep
tions, convicts did nothing toward
peopling Australia with honest peo
ple. It was the voluntary emigrant
who changed the face of the country
and built up the citks that are to
be found in that great island, and
the first thing these colonists did
when they began to arrive in any
numbers was to rid themselves of
the convicts and put a stop to trans
portation. The convicts and the de
scendants of convicts weie found to
be an element of disorder that had
to Je got rid f all risks. It is well
enough for a civilized nation to rid
itself of those who have no other
means of making living than crime
and prostitution, by shipping them
off to some unoccupied corner of the
globe, but to expect that with such
elements a flourishing colony can
be found, is one of those I'topias
which none but the very foolish or
very ignorant dream of.

A rare example of legislative clap
trap is witnessed in the passage by
the New York Senate of a law to
prohibit, under heavy penalties, the
manufacture and sale of substitutes
for butter. This, of course, would be
very pleasing to the New York Gran
gers, if it could only be carried into
effect. There is already a law in
New York, as well as in many oth
States, which, if vigorously enforced
would protect producers and con
sumers alike from the extensive
sales of the fraudulent substitutes
for butter. This law requires that
every package containing oleomarga
rine or other similar preparations
shall be plainly marked, and pro
vides for the punishment of persons
making fraudulent sales of the same
for butter. As this law has been
permitted to fall into contempt, the
New York Senate proposes one still
more impracticable, and which could
be enforced only by a gross violation
of personal rights. .
The power of the State to prohibit
the sale of these preparations, if nec
essary for the protection of the pub
lic health, may not be questioned.
But it has been proved that oleo
margarine, butterine, and the rest of
these substitutes for butter are not
more harmful to the consumers
than the lard and tallow of which
they are made. These chemical
compounds may be of great com
mercial value for other uses besides
their substitution for butter. What
right, tiien, has the State to prevent
their manufacture and sale? The
wrong to the consumer is done only
when they are passed on him for
what they are not. But it is very
easy to prevent this species of fraud
without so violent a measure as the
prohibition and sale of commodities
that are not hurtful to the public
health.
There is no doubt that the farm
ers in New York a.i well as in Penn
sylvania, have suffered much by
the coir petition of this substitute
for dairy butter, but it is no business
of the State to protect its citizens
from competition as long as it is
not associated with fraud. It ap
pears from the testimony of a good
many witnesses that this artificial
butter is often found to be better and
more palatable than the dairy but
ter with which it competes. The
State has just as much right to pro
hibit the making of dairy butter as
to prohibit the manufacture of oleo
margarine. The absurdity would be
no greater or less in the one case
than in the other. The New York
bill only shows to what ridiculous
lengths lawmaking can be carried
in this land of the lree and home of
of the law is wiiat the State Legisla
tures take especial pains not to pro
vide. The reason is that the adul
terators of food and drink are toe
powerful an element in the State
for the lawmakers to offend. In or
der, then, to cover up the cowardice
of lhe Legislature, or perhaps to
pinch manufacturers of oleomarga
rine, parade is made of such bills as
this of the New York Senate. There
can hardly be a (.ranger in New
York so stupid us not to be aware of
the utter i utility of a measure like
this. Lut let it be proposed ti es
tablish, in connection with the po
lice system, chemical laboratories in
New York city and in several other
cities of the State for the detection
of frauds in food, and there will be
none of the eagerness fur its passage
that is witnessed in regard to this
oleomargarine bill in the New York
Senate. It is as much the UUtV of I
the State to establish these chemical
laboratories for the detection of
fraud in food as to maintain jiolice
for protecting the property of citi
zens from pickpockets and burglars.
Yet as this is the ouly method for
putting an end to food adulterations
it is carefully evaded. Some of the
Grangers who are now urging the
New York Legislature to prohibit
the manufacture of oleomargarine,
would be loud in their protests
against such an invasion of the rights
of the citizens as the establish ment
of laboratories for the detection of
fraud in butter, cheese and other
commodities. Hut these laborato-

Messrs. Hiscox it Co. call spet i.il
attention to the fact that after April
16, 13, the name and style of this
preparation will hereatter be simply
Parker's Tmir. The word "(.linger''
is dropped, for the reason that un
principled dealers are constantly de
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
ofGingef; and aa ginger is an un
important flavoring ingredient in
our Tonic, we are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
propriety of the chance. There will
be no change, however, in the prep
aration itself; and all bottles re
maining in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of "Park
er's Ginger Toxic," contain the gen
uine medicine if the signature ot
Hiscox A Co. is at the bottom of the
outside wrapper.
