Of hoc 5noe the cup was ran and won by
Ki'i Prairie Belle.
A littlr Hiimj chestnut mare with a gui

That ereshecut the sunshine thro'

That Ui never was so game a boss nor

OA the Southern race track, and nigh
tty years ago;
It was? rawing close on to Winter, and the
tftbaa full of snow;
I had. ! bom called Eagle, a big, powerful
... ' m
ilLifaed ia old Kentucky, and was
bred to run and stay;
It cost we a cool two thousand just to enter
for the cup,
But I thought my boss could win it. and I
put my money up.
There were sii that faced the starter, and
the night a comin' on:
They were at the lt a moment. In nn-
nother they were gone;
My gray Loss went out and t.tok the track
lie set so fast a pace
He had that field o' six strung out in the
first mileo the race;
Heeled them by three open length when j
they gall.,! by the stand. j
An next him came Burton's chest nut nine.!
both runiii well in hand.
The second time that My passed the stand
my gray boss leading still. ,
It seemed like he ought to h ave the mare i
just it his jockey will. (
They had run two miles ulieady then and
still had two to go;
I caught tli? flash o my scarlet "anh - a hie-
flys single glow.
I felt the hush of a multitude, then heard
somebody yell
"My Otxl! the chestnut's collarrsl the bay--

They spd away, 'round the lower turn and
down the backs! retch flew.
They locked from the stand a single boss
vou'J never dreamed o' two.
I felt the cold sweat ruiiing down my
buck !
like drops o" rain;
A sixteenth out. she faltered a bit, then
tam-ly came again
The gray was Ktrsuung every nerve, but i
Burtou'a mare was game; j
Three times she seemed a giving it up, then
came w ith a rush again.
The air was full o men's tlyin hats, cheers
flew alxxit like hail;
The mare whs coming along outside, my
gray ho next the rail.
In the bie few ' strides she forged ahead;

pine and holly hung gracefully from

The president' Christmas was
spent in a very ipiiet manner. In
the morning he attended church
with Airs. Cleveland, and in the
afternoon sat down to dinner with
out comnanv. The death of Ex-
' Secretary Manuing cast a shadow
! over cabinet circles as well as the
J White house, and a nunilicr of
i receptions were omitted through1
respect to his memory.
AVe have had no congress this
week. Some f the senators and
representatives went home to eat
their turkeys, but I notice that there
are more here now than ever before
at this season. This is because of
the interstate commerce law, which
prevents the issue of passes to
oncrressmen. Statesmen now travel
like ordinary men. They pay for
their sleepers and not a few of them
travel iu common coaches.
The subject recalls representative
Holman, of Indian, whose excessive

moncv vaults. It would seem how
ever, that Mr. Holman is pretty
consistent, for when he visited the
Indian reservation on official busi
ness a year or ho ago, he wanted his ;
committee to take the common cars
in orfler to ave sleeping car cx-:
penses.
Speaking of Christmastide, prob-,
ably no man in the city has enjoyed j
the Reason mors than Washington a
philanthropist, Mr. W. W. Corcoran, j
a man full of years and deeds. He!
full of years and deeds. He
has just entered upon his ninetieth
year. Last Tuesday was hi birth- by a syndicate oi Alontana capuai
day, and his house was fragrant ists. It is very probuble that the
-at. tr. flnwAra that had been pent 1 sale will be consummated. The mine

of callers, letters, telegrams, and
EMOEN
PEOPLE,
cable messages from all quarter
came in nil l;y, making his parlors
(with the flowers, caul uud Jaiuty
souvenirs of the event ) an interesting
scen. Mrs. rievelanj'n gift wan
rather a pretty notion. It consisted
of a Ioo.se cluster of Marshal Nifel
ami I'apa fioutitr rose, arranged in
a vase, there being a rose for every
year of Mr. Corcoran' life. Mr.
Corcoran in looking back through
the long vista of lug eighty-nino
years, remarked one day that he had
shaken the hsud of every American
president except Washington, who
died, aid he, ' before 1 began to run
about the White house." Hat -he
had evidently forgotten the excep
tion: in the casa of President Lincoln.
Mr. Corcotau vn not on sufficiently
good terms with hiiu or his adminis
tration to have shaken haniU with
the war president. Mr. Corcoran
was at that time so warm a sympa
thizer with the South that he found
it necessary to leave Washington for
a time. I'ulike most aged people,
who live largely in the past, Mr.
Coicorau enjoys seeing friend of
all ages, and liken "to discuss men

attended church on Christmas day,
and aftr being assisted to the
chtwicel rail for communion, he was
unable to pla.- the wine to his lips.
This weakness was only temporal',
however, having been induced by
the fatigue of silling through a long
service. lie expresses the hope that
lie will yet '.he to celebrate hin

Last Sal urday evening while Mr.

attending a party at one f the
