The Hackney horses have all along been cele-
braied for their speed, their power of endurance,
and their ability to trot long distances in saddle
or harness, keeping up their speed for hundreds
of miles in a way not approached by any other
breed. CARMO is in the line of descent from
Nonpareil, who trotted 100 continuous miles in
less than ten hours without showing symptoms
of fatigue. If you want a fast trotter, a splendid
carriage horse, a gentle family and farm horse,
get a Hackney.
CARMO will be in MEYERSDALE commencing
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 15th, 16th
and 17th. BERLIN, Thursday and Friday, May
18th and 19th, and at these places on tlie same

TOPICS find COMMENT.
BoB INGERSOLL recently delivered a
lecture entitled ‘Robert Burns.” It has
been suggested that the same subject
would make a suitable epitaph for Mr.
Ingersoll’s tombstone.
More business failures are now taking
place, all over the country, that at any
other time for many years. ‘The good
old Democratic days” seem to be return-
ing, just as predicted.
By an act of Congress, the pansy, on
May 1st, became the national lower of
the United States. The same act declares
that the sentiment expressed in connec-
tion with this emblem shall be: ‘Just-
ice, Liberty. Union, Culture eand Peace.”
SPORTSMEN shonld acquaint themselves
with an act passed by the Legislature,
last week, for the protection of game.
Among the provisions of the act the kill-
ing of quail is prohibited for a period of
three years. Theseason for killing wood:
cock lias been made from October 1 to
December 1, instead of July 4 to January
1; and that for gronse from October 1 to
December 15, instead of October 1 to Jan-
nary 1.—Somerset Standard.
Tux editor of the Vedette is very much
purturbed over the appearance of the
Court House yard. He thinks, and most
people agree with him, that the public
grounds should not be used for the pur-
pose of displaying patent gates, patent
fences. &c. The Vedette can raise the
same objection against defacing the walls
of the Court House with advertisements
for patent medicines. local business firms.
&c. It might be well for the county
authorities to place a bulletin board in
the Court House for the display of legal
notices in which the public is interested,
but there is certainly no reason way the
walls of the building should be pasted
over with advertisements of the character
named.—Somerset Herald.
WHER. oh when will old fogyism and
nonsensical nonsense in legal forms die
out? Some of these old time-worn legal
forms and expressions have long ago
outlived their usefulness, and when
viewed in the light of common sense and
19th century civilization, they appear
most disgustingly ridiculous to those who
see the folly of a vain repetition of words.
The average deed or will contains about
ten times as many words as are needed
to make the document binding and secure
against all contests. A deed, lease or
will is usually a senseless jumble and
rehash of a large number of words, many
of which have the same meaning and in-
tended to answer the identical same pur-
pose. Why all this vain repetition of
words? What is the sense and value of
it all? The more words of the same
meaning that are crowded into a legal
document, the harder the document is
to understand and the more room there
is to pick a tlaw and bring abont a con-
test. Then, there is the horde of old
time-worn Latin phrases which not one
person in five hundred understands, and
which should be substituted by good,
plain, every-day English. For example,
we refer 10 a Sheriff sale bill which is sat
present posted up in this town, whereon
certain lands in this county are adver-
tised for sale. The document starts out
in this wise: ‘“‘By virtue of sundry writs
of fleri factas venditions exponas levaria
Jacias, issued out of the Court of Com-
mon Pleas,” ete., ete. Now, how many
people who read those bills will know
the meaning of one solitary Latin expres-
sion contained thereon? The average
citizen does not know the difference be-
tween a writ of fiers facias vendition: ex-
ponas levaria facias and a vellow dog.
‘Why not use English instead of those
"Latin terms that so few people know the
meaning of? In the Westernstates many
of the old Latin terms in law have been
done away with. Why not do away
with them here? Are we so infer nally
dead here that we must resort to the dead
languages to express that which should
be expressed in English? Verily, it looks
that way.

Samuel Morss, editor of the Indianapo-
lis Sentinel, has been appointed Consul
General at Paris. Morss made himself
notorious during the Cleveland-Blaine
campaign of 1884 by aspersing the char-
acter of Mrs. Blaine—by prowling about
the tombatone of her dead babe in search
of proof that she had net been married
the proper length of time when it was
NUMBER 23.
born. Mr. Blaine made the mistake of
suing Morss for libel instead of pumping
a bucketful of buckshot into his rotien
carcass. Had he chosen the latter course,
no power on earth could have prevented
his elevation to the presidency. Blaine
owed it to his wife, to his dead babe, to
his own self-respect. to his party, to kill
Morss and to kill him so dead that Gabriél
could not resurrect him with a steam fog-
horn. He failed to do his duty and lost
the presidency, as he well deserved to do.
And now Blaine has gone down to his
grave a disappointed man, while this de-
famer of good women, this ghoul who
loiters about church yards and attempts
to discover discrepancies between the age
of dead infants and their mother's mar-
riage certificate, is given a fat office by
the man whom fool luck allowed to de-
feat an infinite brainier opponent for the
highest honors of the nation! = Respect
for the memory of Mr. Blrine, respect
for the wives and mothers of America,
respect for his own party and his own
administration should hdave induced Mr.
Cleveland to treat the application of this
scurvy Hoosier pencil-pusher with pro-
found contempt. He is a fine character
to send abroad to represent a brave and
chivalrous people!—a people that stands
foremost among the nations of the earth
for courtesy to the gentler sex, for re-
spect paid the sacred name of wife and
mother! Samuel Morss, of Indiana, is
not only a disgrace to journalism and to
every two-legged he-thing that stands np
in God's sunlight and calls itself a man.
If the devil were his father, he would
dishonor his sire; if born in hell, he
would cast discredit upon the land of his
birth; if employed to feed hyenas with
the offall of the earth, le would be in-
finitely beneath his eccupation.
Very Obstinate.
A waggish chap, whose vixen wife, by
drowning, Jost her precious life, called
out his neighbors, all around, and fold
them that his wife was drowned; and in
spite of search, could not be found! He
knew, he said, the very nook where she
had tumbled in the brook, and he had
a mile or more.
**Above the place, the poopt tied.
“why, what d’'ye mean?”
The man replied: “Of course vou
don’t suppose I'd go and waste the time
to look below! I've known the woman
”
ble well; alive or dead, she'd go, I Swow,
against the current anyhow!”

“He ought, but I fear he's to generally

“Yes, damling, we must part
west to seek my fortune. When I have
found it, I will return and lay it at your
dear feet. Farewell!” He went west;
he found his fortune: but as he would
have had some difficulty in laying it at
her feet, he never came back. He had
married a rich widow.

The Mt. Pleasant Journal says a Lau-
relville man has improved upon the green-
goods game. He takes one of the gireu-
lars so plentifully scattered about, te a
neighbor, expresses’ his confidence in the
scheme and regrets his inability to invest.
Taik of this kind usually ends in the
greedy listener proposing to furnish the
money. The obliging agent agrees to in-
vest it. After a few days’ absence he
returns with a doleful story of how he
has been robbed by the green-goods
swindlers. The enterprising ‘“agent” has
netted $1,500 to $2,000 in this way. ©
A short time ago we were talking with
one of our intelligent school teachers—
cone who has taught in various parts of
the county—and in the course of the con-
versation he remarked that he bad often
noticed that pupils who belong to fami-
lies that read newspapers are brighter
and more progressive in their studies
than those who are reared without the
newspapers. And he added that it was
remarkable to see the number of families
here and. there throughout the county
that never think of taking a newspaper
of any kind.—Oakland Republican.
