V. . on noil &, Co., P.uggta.-., deemed advisable to scratch ler at the last moment, as had been done once be fore. But they only laughed at me, saying 1 did not like being forestalled, and so on. 1 must say that 1 w.. i much surprised, when l told Natty about it. to hear that he had hacked the mare, too, at the same odds. ‘‘1 don't often bet.” he said, "but I couldn’t resist the price, so 1 put onmy modest tenner, and 1 advise you to do the same." But this 1 absolutely refused to do. I had determined, when I began to run the mare, that 1 would never back her, and to that prudent resolution 1 would adhere. “You think she will win then?” I inquired incredulously. ”1 don't say that. The Cesarewitch takes a lot of running, but there is nothing in my opinion better in, and she will stay the course, which is more than half of them will if the pace is anything like so good as it usually is Don't he alarmed about your triends. They can’t have put much on the mare or she’d have gone to a shorter price.” But this did not happen, and 1 am not aware of any one else having hacked her. As may he imagined, I took more in terest in this race than in any of the others and applied for a few days’ leave to go and see it run. It was very sel dom that 1 went to races. Not that > had any objection to horse racing—i think it the finest of all sports, and that it might be so conducted as to torm a wholesome national amusement—but, as things are at present,one has to wade through such a sea of rascality before he can so much as catch a glimpse of a race horse’s tail that 1 have never con sidered the game at all worth the can dle. As the time drew near 1 paid some attention to the sporting intelligence and “selections” for various events in the papers. With one exception—The Licensed Victualler's Gazette — the chances of my representative were en ! tirely ignored, while the candid opin ion of that organ was that Skittles, how ! ever lightly weighted, would find her | self outclassed in such company. This was the reverse of encouraging, especi ally as it coincided with my own pri vate conviction. What surprised me was the wonderful unanimity of these ! tipsters. They all pinned their faith i on a horse named Alcester, while a few i thought Corkjacket might have a : chance, hut all mentioned Alcester save 1 The Field, which pinniped for Phara • inond, the winner of the Derby for the preceding year, and generally consid ered to be the best horse in training at that time. Ah- ster was reported to have been tried so that he “could not I lose.” Natty told me afterward he ‘ generally liked to have a bet against a horse that wcs tried so highly as that, | though occasionally, he admitted, the ! good thing did come off. 1 met Natty in town, and after din ; ing together and laughing over the | comic opera at tlio Savoy we ran down to Newmarket in good time next day. I The mare was there and fitter, Nat de i dared, than he had ever seen her be I fore. Pedometer had accompanied her, ! but was not engaged in the same race, i 2% miles being considered out of his ! distance. “But he can’t lead her now at no distance,” Pearce said. "They [ had a nice gallop this morning, and the 1 mare pulled over him all the way.” j As the hour for the race drew on 1 i became quite nervous. It was cold and ' dull on the Heath, and I shivered with ; excitement inside my ulster. We saw the race from the grand stand and had I a capital view of the horses as they can ! tered past. It was a large field, 23 \ coming to the post, and among them some of the most famous animals on the turf. There were besides the much vaunted Alcester the magnificent Phar amond, supposed by the cognoscenti to be out of the race in consequence of the weight he had to carry—nine stone; Gelasma, a beautiful chestnut mare, who had won the Oaks two years be ; fore; another handsome filly, Bridal Beauty, carrying the gorgeous violet and crimson of a certain duchess; Cork jacket, who had beaten Skittles so hand somely in the City and Suburban, but now had to give her more than a stone, and a host of other celebrities and non entities, among the latter my own mare in the dark bine and gold belt. Though less good looking than some she went by in beautiful style, with light, corky action and a quickness of stride that attracted some attention, for a pale and effeminate yet aristocratic looking youth below me exclaimed: "Gad, that’s a fine mover! What is it?” and he con sulted his race card to see. After which he whispered a word to a man beside him, who responded. “ Thirty to one, my lord, ’' and left the stand at a nod from the other. I cannot describe the race, tor l saw 90 little of it, though 1 discerned once with my race glass when the horses were at a great distance from ns that Skittles was lying well np, with the black and red tartan of Pharamond close behind her, and then I had to wait for the finish. After what seemed an interminable time, bnt was really only a few min 1 Then there teas a mighty rush. ntes, there began a murmur a long way; iown the cords which soon swelled into a roar. Then there was a mighty rush,' as with quick cracking of whips and a rustling of silken jackets in the breeze, more like the swirl and fall of leaves in a storm than anything else, seven o eight horses swept by almost together, | end with breathless excitement 1 caught a glimpse of the blue and gold among them. Th 1 amid tho tumult 1 heard shouts of “Pharamond!” ‘‘Cork jacket!” i and once ‘‘Skittles!" then ‘‘Phara mond!” again. We tumbled out of the st «v.l, Nat and 1, breathless, and -saw th;; numbers go up—first a 3. but while I was looking on my card for the name a 1 went up beside it—13—Skittles’ 1 number! I had won tho Cesarewitch! 1 had not realized it when Natty push'd me forward, and 1 stumbled through a lane in the crowd to lead my ; mare in to weigh. Another breathless interval. -Then "All light,” as my jockey came out, and tho crowd gave a ringing cheer, but not so hearty—for I was quite unknown—as that they gave the gallant Pharamond for iiis splendid second under such an impost. Corkjacket was third and Sanvagesse, the famous French mare, close up. Sel dom, Nat said, had there been such a finish for a long distance race or so little won over the winner. In fact, nobody had won much but myself, who had netted cioso upon £.i, - 000 by tho stakes without a single Let. and two days later 1 received by post an offer, fiorn a well known owner, of £2,000 for Skittles, with which 1 im mediately closed. 1 was enabled to make tho required settlement on Ella. Wo were married at Christmas, and with my winnings, together with my £3.000 and her £5, 000, we had enough to start with. 1 have always hated the way in which 1 won her, tor it seemed nothing less than purchasing my wife for so much hard cash, a tiiiug obnoxious to my principles, but at least 1 have the plea sure of knowing that 1 owe the chief happiness of my ! xo to my dear old uncle’s legacy as well as to the clever ness of my old friend, who. 1 hope, will soon becorno something nearer, when the mater lias got used to the idea of sparing Geraltiiuo to him.—Cornhill Magazine. One* of Dr. HvereJt’s Stories. Staid and dignified and scholarly Dr Everett, the congressman from Massa chusetts, knows how to t !1 a story 111 an effective way One day during the silver debate he said he was amazed at the determination of some gentlemen of all three parties—Democrats, Repub licans and Populists—‘to find politics somewhere in some part of the silver discussion. They had a wonderful nose for the political cat in every bag of meal presented to them. It reminded him of what happened in a certain poor re ligious congregation in England. The congregation wanted to procure new hymnbooks, but they were very poor and could not afford to pay for them at the ordinary prices. They understood, however, that a certain great advertis ing house, a business house that made patent medicines, was willing to fur nish them hymnbooks at a penny each if they would allow some advertisements to be inserted in the books. They thought that would he no special harm, that they might have a few pages of advertisements bound up with Watts and Doddridge. They agreed to the proposition. The books came, duly | printed, and they got down to the ' church on Dec. 24. On Christmas morning the model Christians, who had no thought of any thing but religion, got up to sing. : Their pastor gave ont by the first line a very familiar hymn. Immediately ; the congregation arose to their feet and I in a few seconds were aghast to find themselves singing: Hark! the herald angels sing: Cure ’em's pills arc just the thing.

Successful use appears to be made of j the novel automatic device lately in troduced on some of the German rail I ways for ascertaining and definitely in ! dicating defects existing in the track, i The principle of the apparatus, as ex | plained, is based on the fact that every low point or other similar defect on ' the line of the track causes a shock of I greater or less intensity in a car passing j over it. The arrangement of the appa ratus in the inspection car is such that, l if the shock exceeds a certain degree of intensity, a squirting device is brought into operation, and from which either a red or a blue liquid is sprayed over the 1 roadbed, making stripes from 1 foot to ! 7 feet long and about 2 inches wide— the track sections requiring any atten tion being thus very plainly marked. Such an apparatus, it i3 said, locates defects not ordinarily detected by a track walker and affords early and time ly evidence of imperfections in the road bed.—New York Sun. The Old Clock on the Stair*. Ernest Longfellow, a son of the great poet, has a token of remembrance of his father at his home in Magnolia which money cannot buy. It is nothing more or less than “The Old Clock on the Stairs” made famous by his father. The clock was formerly owned by Thomas Gold Appleton, and at his death the heirs, of which one was Captain Nathan Appleton, thinking the clock was of particular value to Ernest Long fellow on account of his father’s con nection with the ancient timepiece, do nated it to the son of the poet, so that It now adorns a nook in t ne stairs of his house at Magnolia.—Boston Herald. Pat’s Ready Answer. When Lord Thurlow first opened a lawyer’s office in London, he took a oasement room previously occupied by i cobbler. He was annoyed by the former occupant’s callers and irritated because he had few of his own. One day an Irishman entered. “The cob bler’s gone, I see,” he said. “I should think he had.” tartly responded the lawyer. “And what do you sell?” in quired the Irishman. “Blockheads,” responded Thurlow. “Begorra, ” said Pat, “ye must be doing a mighty line business.

The following graphic statement will be read with intense interest: "1 cannot describe the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my arms, hands ana legs. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had h strange weakness in my back and around my waist, together with an Indescribable ‘gone’ feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it was creeping paralysis, from which, accord ing to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they say.it continues its insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no par ticular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of I)r Miles’ Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as It rnay seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me. and there has not been even the slightest indication of Its return. I now feel as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though I had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used I)r. Miles’Restorative Nervine on my recomen dation, and it has been as satisfactory in their cases as in mine.”—James Kane, La Rue, O.
