FAIRNRSS ix scourlxo MATTERS.
It has become a a settled matter that there
is no such thing as honesty or honor, in any-
thing connected with sporting matters. The
races at Jerome and Fleetwood Parks are all
arranged beforehand, and the innocent peo.
plc who bet on horses may do so with the
certainty that the ring have agreed with the
owners as to‘ which horses should win, and
by how much. Occasionally an honest man
undertakes to row, or run, or fight. or walk,
or do something, and if he cannot be bought
he is disabled in some way, if it is the inter-
est of the gamblers to do it. A rowing
match which excited much interest among
the sports, was arranged between Riley and
Courtney. Courtney was known as the best
man, and bets on him were three to one. A
little ring of sporting desperadocs took all
the bets they could, and an immense amount
of money was staked on the event. At noon
of' the day of the race, Courtney was in ex-
cellent condition. He sat down to take the
little refreshment allowed him, a cup
of iced tea being a part of it. He drank it,
and noticed that its was unpleasant. A few
minutes after he was taken very sick; lle
vomited severely, and fell into a stupor from
which he did not recover till night. Riley
rowed over the course alone, the judges
awarded him the race, and the money in the
pools was paid over to his backers. Court-
ney had been drugged with arsenic. This is
no more than is done every day on the race
tracks ill the city, and is a fair illustration of
the honor of sporting nlcll.
ALARMING. MORTALITY.
The excessive mortality among children in
the city is occasioning alarm. The deaths
last week were over five hundred in excess
of the corresponding week for years, the
mortality being mostly confined to children.
It is not, as usual, confined to the tenement
houses, but the children of the better classes
have suffered terribly. The weather has
-bcen unusually severe, and the streets and
alleys were never so filthy. The accumula-
tions of last winter were left on the ground
till late in the spring, and then were not
wholly removed. Under the hot July sun
the gutters and back yards of the densely
populated streets in the lower part of the city
emitted a cone am im of stenchcs that were
singly enough to kill a healthy adult, to say
nothing of a weak and insufficiently nurtured
child. The germ of disease once set afloat
was carried into the better regions, and the
child of many a wealthy man died as an
atonement for his neglect of the poor, “whom
we have always with us.” The board of
health, always weeks too late, have taken
hold of the matter; and their efforts have,
in some measure, checked the disease.
THE SUMMER PLACES.
The blazing sun must be endured by the
poor of New York during the week, for they
must work and earn their bread. But on
Sundays, every one of them who can raise
the means takes his wife and family to where
a mouthful of fresh air is attainable. The
poorest go to Central Park,for five cents will
take them there. Last Sunday over 100,000
people visited the Park; poor mothers with
their sickly children staying all day, having
taken with them lunch and supper, that the
little ones might get as much life as possible
to fortify themselves for the intelerable heat
of a close tenement house for the next six
days. There were 30,000 people at Coney
Island the same day, and every land and wa-
ter route leading out of the city to cool, fresh
air, was crowd . Fortunately there are
many such places about New York, and they
are of cheap and easy access.
run TEMPRRANCE xovsllnx'r
is progressing favorably. All the noted ora-
tors ill the country are brought to New York
by turns, so that the feeling is not allowed to
die or lessen.
Mother Stewart, who started the crusade
movement in the west, is here, and is speak-
ing every day and night, with great effect.
Murphy will begin his peculiar work next
week: and Gen. Gibson, of Ohio, and other
noted orators, are held in reserve. The legal
part of the work is better organized than
it has ever been. The rum-shop that is caught
without a license, or that in any way trans-
gresscs the law, is held to all the penalties
prescribed. And as good lawyers with plen-
ty of money are employed, they worry the
sellers terribly. It is no joke to them to
be arrested, for the 01d tricks of indefinite
postponements and straw bail are not allowed
to work. They have worried nearly two
hundred bucket-shops out of existence. The
excise law whiclrrcstricts the sale of liquors
to inns, is being rigidly enforced; and con-
sequently all the dirty little gin mills are put-
ting up the requisite three cots in their little,
dirty back-rooms, the temperance people are
working for a decision to block this game,
and they will doubtless get it.
LIFEINSURANCE AGAIN.
The Universal Life Insurance Company of
this city is now in hot water, the state super-
intendent having made it the subject of a
special report, in which he charges misman-
agement on the officers and recommends
the company be placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver. The company will resist such a step,
and insists that its affairs are in a solvent
condition. But suspicion in respect to other
companies has so often been gonfirmed, that
the public is quite prepared to’believe' the
worst, and the company is already dead in
public estimation. Mr. Furber, the vice pres-
ident, is also the financial manager of the
Charter Oak of Hartford, which is pretty
generally understood is in abad way; although
as in the case of the, Universal, solvency is
insisted upon by its officers and by some cut-
side experts besides. But a clean reputation
is so vital to institutions whose breath of life
is the popular Confidence, that to be suspect-
cd of weakness or fraud is almost the same
as to be guilty, in disastrous effects; and
only those companies can hope to prosper,
who stand, like Caesar’s wife, above suspicion.
nusrxnss
begins to revive with the confidence the new
crop spires. Orders for goods are coming
in already from the country that harvested
its wheat. There will be a good full trade.
PIETRO.
, All Uncxplored Region.
If some of the Black Hillel's would strike
directly West into the Big Horn Mountains,
up to the head of Snake River, Lewis‘ Fork,
and around Fremont‘s Peak, and sink a few
holes in the ground, they would not remain
on the brink of starvation. The best part of
the Rocky Mountains is located in the region
described. Timber is as plentiful there as in
the Sierra Nevadas, game is comparatively
unlimited, water courses intersect it in every
direction, and valleys that rival in beauty
anything on the globe. The mountains are
grand, picturesque, and sublime, andin many
places resemble the palaces of nature which
draw the tourist to Switzerland. Snow lies
perpetually in common sight, and for stock
raising the region is unsurpassed. Gold has
been found in almost every ravine or gulch
from'Montana to the South Pass, but the
prospects were invariably purchased with the
life-blood of the pioneer. It has been the
stamping-ground of the hostile Sioux, Bau-
nack and Snake, whose dcpredations have
kept the country in an unexplored state. It
is a vast and enticing field for the prospector,
and sooner or later it must be opened up and
become another Montana or Colorado, if not
a California—Eureka, (Nevada), Daily Re.
publican.
Charles Goodman, arrested at Washington
for assault with intent to kill, walked out of
the court in the coolest way while his case
was waiting for trial, and has not been seen
since.
Possibly a Good Speculation. _
A California millionaire, whose daughter
will shortly marry a French Count, is to pay
the groom $100,000 cash down before the cor-
emony takes place, that being the price dc-
manded by the condescending foreigner for
consenting to share his title with an American
born young woman. The figure seems high,
but the investment may not prove to be such
a bad speculation after all. A good many of
these European Counts turn out to be very
clever cooks or stylish hair-dressers, and
should the ambitious papa’s mine incontinent-
ly peter out, or he get swamped at' the stock
board, a first-class foreign artist in victuals or
hair will be found mighty handy to have
about the house. Such fellows command}
fabulous salaries in San Francisco when times
are flush, and they are alw'ay's able to make a"
pretty good living when they are willing to
set about it. They are a little too much given
to beating their wives, however, when the
day of adversity comes, to make desirable
sons-in-law as a general rule.

A Young Lady’s Plain, Simple
Dress.
The following is clipped from the Toltdo
(Ohio) Blade: Now we begin to have an idea
of what a plain, simple dress for a lady is.
The lady principal of a Young Ladics’ Semi-
nary in Tennessee has made a specific chart
for the government of her sweet girl gradu-
ates in their costulniug for the commencement
day exercises. It is gratifyingly succinct and
clear, and we have posted it up for future use
as a standard in determining whether any fem-
inine dress is “simple” or “rich.” The man-
date runs: “The young ladies are to dress in
white, and the material is to be muslin, tori-
ton, or its equivalent. No trimmings per-
mitted except when made of the same mate!
rial as the dress. Lace, silk and satin ex-
pressly prohibited. No satin or silk sashes,
and no train over ten inches in length. No
sleeves shorter than the elbow. No flowers,
except a brooch bouquet and as dressing for
the hair. No jewelry except earrings. Any
young lady disregarding these regulations
will not be allowed to appear at commence-
ment."
A speedy return of the good times of five
years ago is predicted by the Toledo Blade,
which bases its belief on the immense crops of
the year,.anu the well-known effects of _pros
perity-among farmers on general busmess.
It appears that the crops being harvested are
the largest the country ever had. The acre-
age of wheat is largely in excess of any since
the settlement of the country, and _the yleld
per acre is infinitely greater. Hay ls magnifi-
cent,and has been secured in the very best
condition. Corn is now a certainty. Never
was the eye gladdened with the sight of such
fields. The stalks tower gloriously, and the
color is superb. Oats, which have been a
failure since 1874, will this year yield very
much more than they did then. The Blade
continues :1 “We prophesy an immediate and
decided revival of business. There have been
‘tight times’ for three years. The farmers
have not had money, nor have they had any
way to make it. * * * This enormous crop,
coming in just at the nick of time, when the
calamities of other nations makes a good
price for it, is the let-up we have been look-
ing for so anxiously, and waiting for so im-
patiently. The farmcr will in a few weeks
from this have money enough to pay his debts
out of his wheat alone, and he has his enor-
mous corn, oats and hay crop for future needs.
He will pay his debts that have been accumu-
lating for three years, and he will have plen-
ty with which to get those supplies he has
been compelled to do without so long.”

Lluvxs.—-A beautiful lawn is the most at-
tractive feature of a home. With the yard
smoothly graded, Well seeded, and frequent-
ly clipped with a lawn mower, there is noth-
ing to compare in rural or village life, and it
is a pleasant thought, that such spots are be-
ing every year. better appreciated. The mow-
er is IX coming a more popular instrument,
and we see the pleasant effects of their pes-
session in the increased and increasing beauty
of our pleasure grounds and door-yards. As
the season is at hand for giving a little extra
vigor to the grass which is to do so much for
our happiness, we here give a receipt for
nursing and nurturing it. If your lawn needs
improving, spread fine rich loam one inch
thick all over it. Sow on that over a space,
say thirty by forty feet, twenty-five pounds
of fine bone meal, two quarts of gypsum,
and half a bushel of fine salt. Rake it thor—
oughly and as deep as possible with a fine-
toothed iron rake. If there are any barren
spots where the grass has worn or died out,
cut them out, renew with good fresh soil and
put in a new piece of turf from some old
pasture land. Do this before raking or the
putting on of appropriate food for the grass.
This is better, and does not offend the sight
like a covering of coarse manure, so frequent
ly seen. It will bring in the grass more
thickly and vigorously, with a deep, rich
color, and the frequent clipping will make it
even and velvety. It will be a ch for your-
self and family, not only, but 1 a whole
neighborhood 'and the passing stranger. Let
every one who has any-space about his house
devote it to this purpose, and help make these
spots more common, and our village all the
more attractive.

Judge Lochrane of Georgia, is reported to
have made this pithy remark on the state
' constitutional convention: “On the first day
of its meeting, the convention abolished the
constitution,‘on the second it insulted the
governor, and on the third it repudiated God
almighty.”
Tammany’s organ, the New York Emu-ass
defends the'rioters, whom it calls laborers,
and says that striking and preventing trains
from moving by force, is the only way left
for them “to assert their manhood” against
how dangerous and unprincipled a power
Tammany is, than these incendiary declara-
tions.
The communist has no excuse for existing
in this country. There are two things, and
only two 'things which any state can do for
the workingman- It can secure him perfect
liberty to work where, when and how he
pleases; and it can furnish him with courts
and other legal contrivances for the enforc-
mcnt of his contracts. That is all. When
the state fails to do that the workingman has
ground of complaint. In this country the
state does it.——N. Y. Evening Post.
Property is too well distributed in this
country not to make the observance of public
order and peace the natural course of things
with our people. Home with all the current
sympathy for the men who had wages reduc-
ed, there would be general regret it any of
the railroads or authorities made concessions
to violence. Every man who owned as much
as a pig would feel that there was a caving
in to lawless force which was derogatory to
the rights of citizens and disgraceful to the
country. Let us have no surrender to mobt'.
1f the working class have any interest in gov-
crnlnent, it is that every man shall be free

The elld ought to come soon. The sub-
stantial, property-owning and law-abiding
people, who form the great majority of citi-
zens, do not largely congregate in cities, and
very many of them are scattered upon farms
or in country homes. They are slow to wake,
once roused, their determination is terrible to
resist. Presently it will come to them that
the government must be sustained against
lawlessness in cities, as it was sustained
against rebellion at the south. In 1861 they
waited for the formal appeal by the president ;
perhaps nothing but a call for troops by the
United States will arouse them to an appre-
ciation of the crisis now at hand. But when-
ever the United States calls for men to crush
out all resistance to law, and to support the
civil authorities in catching and hanging every
instigatorof riot, its call will not be in vain.

The principal of free and prosperous busi-
ness is that the capitalist has a right todccidc
for himself what wages ilc can pay for labor,
and catch laborer has a right to determine for
himself whether he will work for that. price.
The principle the strikers are ctldcavorillg to
establish is that the workman may ' compel
- whatever capitalist he pleases to employ lliln,
alld compel him to pay him his own price.
Whoever helps the strikers ill their lawless
proceedings is supporting this absurd idea,
which would destroy the whole business of
the country in a twelve-month. When the
capitalist can seize workingmen against their
will, can compel them to work for what he
pleases to give, it is slavery. When working-
men can compel any capitalist against his will
to employ them, and can dictate the terms,
it is plunder. Either system is ruinous to
industry and enterprise, and so pernicious to
both classes.-—Borton Advertiser.

Indian Love of' Ornament.
A somewhat amusing illustration of the
universal passion for dress, which forms a
distinguishing characteristic of the Blackfeet,
equally with other Indians, occurs in these
trades. The fashionable costume of the red-
man is not generally regulated by the vari-
able moods of the mercurial Parisian ; indeed,
it has undergone but little change since the
memory of man. Certain interesting speci-
ments of the race are said to have been seen
attired in even less than the vaunted Mexican
costume—a shirt collar and a pair of spurs.
I myself remember to have seen one chastity
appareled in a stove-pipe hat. But it f‘rc-
qucutly occurs, during the trades, that some
doughtychicftain elects to appear in more
than regal magnificence before his tribe; and
for his benefit, and those of Similar tastes,
the company annually import certain ancient
costumes prevalent in some half-century
Since. The tall, stove-pipe hat, with rotmd,
narrow brim; the snuff-brown or bright blue
coat, with high collar, climbing. up over the
neck, the sleeves tightly fitting, the waist
narrow—this is the Blackfeet’s ideal of per-
fection in dress, and the brave who can array
himself in this antique garb struts out from i
the fort the. envy and admiration of all be-
holders. Often the high but is ornamented
with a decayed ostrich plume, drooping like
the shadow of great sorrow, which has figur-
ed in the turban of some dowagcr of the
British Isles long years since. While the
presence of trousers is considered by no
means essential to the perfect finish of the
costume, the addition of a narrow band of
gold lace about the coat is regarded as im-
parting an air of tone to the general effect not
to be obtained in any other way. For such a
costume the Blackfeet brave will barter his
deer-skin shirt, beaded, quilled, and orna-
mented with the raven locks of his enemies;
his head-band of beautiful feathers and shells;
and the soft-tanned and flowing robe of buf-
falo skin—adds a kingly dignity to his ath-
letic form—for one which Pantaloon would
scorn to wear. Fortunately the new dress
does not long survive. Little by little it is
found unsuited to the wild life which its
owner leads, and, although never losing the
originally high estimation placed upon it, it .
is discarded at length by reason of the many
inconvenienCL-s arising from running buffalo
in a plug-hat, and fighting in a swallow-tail
coat against the Crces.—H. .11. Robinson, in
zlppleton’s Journal for July.

A Monument to Peace.
The finishing touches are being put to the
Monument of Peace at'the entrance to the
Capitol grounds. This is the finest monu-
ment in this country. It was designed by
Admiral Porter in 1865‘, who then began tak-
ing up subscriptions‘among the officers and
men of the navy for a memorial to those who
fell in the navy during the war. As soon as
the amount subscribed was sufficient to en-
courage the Admiral as to final success, he
placed the design in the hands of Mr. Frank-
lin Simmons, an American sculptor who rc-
sidcs in Rome. Mr. Simmons has made this
monument his chief work, as he is anxious
to commemorate his own fame as a sculptor,
while perpetuating the valor of the heroes
who died while defending the old flag which
is now as dear and sacred to one part of the
country as the other. Now is the fitting
time to commemorate peace. 'ow in Mr.
Hayes we have aPrcsident of a whole and
united country. Sweet Peace looks her no-
blest and loveliest as She faces tllc Capitol,
extruding the olive branch and imploring
that strife may be at an end,and that all may
help to build up the prosperity of their com-
mon country. This statue is ciglltand a half
feet high. Upon a platform of four marble
steps rises the shaft and miniature figures at
the base and cornices. The whole is sur-
mounted by the crowning groups of figures,
America weeping on the shoulder of history,
who records on a scroll the deeds of the he-
roic dead. This side of the monument faces
Pennsylvania avenue. The figures are of
exquisite beauty, and are each eight anda half
feet high. The whole height of the menu-
ment is forty-two feet, About half way
from the top of the monument ill front, and
at the base of the shaft, stands the Statue of
Victory crowning the navy and marine corps.
These two arms of the service are represent-
ed by two nudc boyish figures—one with the
trident of Neptune, the other with the sword
and helmet of Mars. The statue of Victory
is seven feet high and in the best classic
style. The monument is sculptured from the
finest Carrara (raracionne) which is adapted
to endure without deterioration the severe
changes of our climate. Congress appropria-
ted twenty thousand dollars toward the com-
pletion ‘of this monument, and becomes the
possessor of this fine work of art, Admiral
Porter has the satisfaction of witnessing the
completion of a work which has interested
him for the last eleven years.— Ilileu'ngton

——
Anc'rlc Conn—When snow becomes hard
as rock its surface takes a granular consist-
ence like sugar. Where it lies with its mas-
sive wreaths frozen in the form of billows
our steps resound, as we walk over them,
with the sound as of a drum. The ice is so
hard that it emits a ringing sound ; wood be-
comes wonderfully hard, splits and is as diffi-
cult to out use bone; butter becomes like
stone, meat must be split, and mercury may
be fired like a bullet from a gun. If cold
thus acts on things without; life, how much
more must it influence living organisms and
the power of man’s will? Cold lowers the
heat of the pulse, weakens the bodily sensa-
tions, diminishes the capacity of movement
and of enduring great bodily fatigue. Of all
the senses, taste and smell most lose their
force and pungency, the mucous membrane
being in a constant state of congestion and
excessive secretion. After a time a dc-
crcase of muscular power is also perceptible.
If one is exposed suddenly to an excessive
degree of cold, involuntarily one shuts the
mouth and breathes through the nose; the
cold air seems at first to pinch and pierce the
organs of respiration. The eyelids freeze
even in calm weather, and to prevent their
closing, we have constantly to clear them
from ice, and the beard alone is less frozen
than other parts of the body, because the
breath as it issues from the mouth falls down
as snow. Snow-spectacles are dimmed by
the moisture of the eyes, and when the ther-
mometer falls 37 degrees (0.) below zero they
are as opaque as frost-covered windows. The
cold, however, is most painfully felt in the
soles of the feet, when there is a cessation of
exercise. Nervous weakness‘ torpor, and
drowsiness follow, which explains the con-
nection which is usually found between rest—
ing and freezing. The most important point,
in fact, for a sledge party, which has such
exertions to make at a very low temperature,
is to stand still as little as possible. The ex-
cessive cold which is felt in the soles of the
feet during the. noonan rest. is the lnain rea-
son why afternoon marches make such a de-
gree on the moral power. Great cold also
alters the character of the cxcrctions, thick--
ens tllc blood and increases the need of nour—
isllnlcnl from the increased expenditure of
carbon. And while perspiration ceases en-
tirely, the secretion of the mucous membranes
of the nose and eyes, is permanently depress-
ed and the urine assumes almost a deep red
color. At first the bowels are much confined
a state which, after continuing for five and
sometimes cigllt days, passes into diarrhcca.
the bleaching of the beard under these in-
fluences is a curious f'act.~—Tlle lands ll’itlu‘n.
