It is claimed that the fastest horses in the world have been bred in the neighborhood of Lexington, Ky. Among the more notable are Maud Stone, better known as Maud S., rec ord, 2;10J; Wedgewood, 2:19; Wood ford Mambrino, 2:24; Indianapolis, 2:21-Trinket, 2:19J; Diet Moore, 2:32; John Morgan, 2:24 and Voltaire 2:21. cg--n " "E'.or' carnage., saddle and trotting horses sent out from this part of Kentucky is very great. A prominent breeder was asked the secret ot thpir superiority. Hn replied: "There is a combination of causes. The great majority of horses here have some good blood in them, and ou will find it crossed somewlipre back in their pedigr es. The best strains of running and trott ing blood have been taken from here to other States, and they there fail to produce the desired results. There is something in the blue gnss, the water, the atmosphere, and the general cli mate influence, and much in judicious breeding and training. We force our hcraes to a gait when they are 1 year old, and at 3 years old they are pretty well developed. The Northern men, however, al-vavs improve them." "How long have Kentucky horses held their liige place" was aiked. The breeder replied: "No one hereabsut can tell. I know men who have lived here eighty five years, and thej state that, from their earliest child hood, they have heard of tin superiori ty of our horses. Their fathers before them had the same story to tell. The fact is that somewhere in the past there was brought to thin State a pure strain of thorough, bloed, derived from the best stock of the mother world, and it has transmitted its qualities from sire to son to the present time. It is a la mentable faet that we have not the exact data0 upon Which ta base a his tory of the Kenfic, a party of gentlemen sa down to pl7Pre a quiet little game of "five cent ante. In fact, several games of five cent ante were played, for the party was a large one. By and by all stopped playing but a party of five vt one table, and the rest ga'hered round to see who should rake in the "jack pot" which had assumed considerable proportions. Among the on lookers who were most interested was one who concluded a practical juke would not be out of or der. So ho made up three hands from "cold dtcks," and passed them secretly and w?iarately to three of the players. B and by one of the players receiving the surreptitious hand, finding that he had fouracer, "opened" the "jack pot." Then the two playeis not receiving hands from the "sold decks" "dropped out," und the betting at five cent ante waxed warm and furioud. Then, after a time, by mistake, as he afterwards alleged, the man with four aces "called.-' Of course he thought he had the silver, but the man with the five queens reached to "rake" the "pot," when straight flushes being in order the last man sang out, "Hold on there, I'v something totb with that pot,'" and showed up hi hand, which contained an "ace high, straight flush." "That reminds me," sail a gentle man, "of the little game of euchre play ed at a social gathering here between two friends two or three years ago. Each man. by the kindness of liU friends outside, held right, left, ace, king and quetn. The first player, being sure of his gamp, led the ace. That, of course, euchered bim, and the consequent laugh was long and loud." A Wyoming jury, composed of seven men and. five women, were shut up for two days and two nights, and yet they couldn't agree. It is aid that if they had retrained out for seven teen years there would have been no verdict, as the five women talked the seven men deaf the first six hours. "Brooklyn Argus." A tramping printer on the route be tween New York and Newburgh, is accompanied by his wife. When asked the other day by a country edi tor why lie carted her around with him, remarked that she took him for better or worse, and, having had a good taste of the latter, was endeavor ing to find put wlicra tha "better" came in.

Subject ! certain immAvablo cus toms, says the London "Spectator," the emperor, in his capacity of father of the people, can in theory give any order and can in practice punish with decapitation or exile any official or person who disobeys it. He is in all serious affairs, however, obliged to consult, thousrh not to obey, a rather Iir8J?roui of .princes of kin dynasty and great Inandarnis, who divide the departments and the great vice royal- "" ttWonS inemselves. The dynasty. - ur0r, oemg foreign, is compelle ,.,co,r" "'earmy, to some extep wuue me army ,- for :, ons, so Singed in number that itlf ticult to garrison the emi.ire ' ""' possible t. hold it do i. 11 iur- It is the tndition of the coujt, there fore, never seriously offPmi -the armj or the pcopV in such a way as. to pro voke emeute more especially fn 1 e kin. At present the emperor is a boy, only just 12 years of pff, and all real authority belongs a widow of the last full-growniuperor, Ilien Fung who is callf the empress mother but is not-tfie mother of the emperor to Prince Kung, Li Hung Chang, tho favorite of the native Chinese, and two or three le'-s-grown high officials. They can send out any orders they please and nre obeyed, but they cannot afford to risk the insurrections which would follow any great affiont to tho pride of the people, such as the cession of Toquin would br, China, in faot, ia a more tolid Turkey, with sultan, pashas, army, and mob sharinj: powvr in unequal degrees.' As in Turky, too, all four are. bound in the chain of a law that cannot be modified. Mnfcc il.r -'our Cnnndci.t. A wonnn's advica i.s general y worth haVing; so if you mo in trouble, tell mother or wife or sister all alojt red that light will flask ess. Women are too t-.,. 8;tint areN not see a cat in the meal, there is no cat there. I advise a man to keep none of Lis ufftirs from his wife. Many a home has been saved; and many a fortune retrieved by a man's confidence in his wife. Woman is more a seer und a prophet than a man if she be given a fair chance. As a general rule, the wives coutide the minutest of their plans and thoughts to their husbands. Why not reciprc cattl Ex. The "Oregonian" of tho 7th says: "Two murders within a single day and three within a week mako a bad show ing abroad for Oregon. It is surpris ing that the eastern pnragra hers aro beginning to rank us with Texas and tho Black Hills Scarcely n day passes without its tragedy in some parts of tht northwest. Reports of these affuir3 from the bulk of the Oregon news printed in tho eastern states, and it is only natural that we should be looked upon as a savage and lawless com munity. No other part of the coun try, not even Texas, furnishes so many tragic reports. A litt'e judicious hanging-is needed to work a reform." Wc have just ascertained how Grant's Pass in Southern Oregon gut its name. As it was m a curious sort of manner wo pubh-h the origin of it. "When Grunt na.s a lieutenant he was camped at that placu with a party of soldiers, and they got to playing euchre for 1 on the corner. The game stood three to three. Grant picked up his cards and had the right bower, ace and king. He concluded to pass, thinking he could euchre his opponent, a burly miner. The result was that he lost his dollar, and the place was called "Grant's Pass. "Democrat." It takes eleven pounds of milk to add one pound of live weight to a calf; and an ox that weighs 1.300 pounds, will uensumo twenty two pounds of hay in twenty.four hours to keep from Uosing weight, If he is to fatten he must liavo juit twico that quautity, when he will gaip two pounds a day. This is ope poijpd live weight to eleven pounds good hay, To obtain fifty cepts a hundred for his hay a farrner must sell fut steer at 5.5Q per hundred pounds. 4
