THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTE3IBEK 3, 1879,

THE OLD MAN IN THE SADDLE Winning $2,000,000 on the Backs of Blooded Hones.

Mounting Thousand of Racers and Captur- ( lug Thousands of Purses New Facts About Important Events on the Turf The Silver-Haired Veteran Who Sometimes Leads the Boys Over the Sands on Brighton Beach. rNew York Sun. To a regular attendant at races, the jockeys who ride soon become objects of interest. While all, except a few who mount steeplechasers, are very small, they differ widely in form, features and characteristics. Their manner of riding varies fully as much as their features. All, however, have a keen, stable air; some with faces sharp and attenuated as Old Time's, others with faces flat as pancakes, as if horses had rolled over them. There is little Barrett, who rides as easily and holds his horse as finely in a race as John Murphy does in a trot, always to win if possible; Hughes, the cunning, generally eager to get the best of the send off; dark little Murphy from the South, who knows how to ride a waiting and winning race; the supple Walker, who rode the fastest four miles ever run in the world, 7:15, on Ten Broeck; plucky Bayers, son of the most valiant boxer the world ever saw ; F.sher, the agile, who often rides to victory; natty Evana, who often wins and sometimes loses; Sleaney, the great steeplechase rider, who occasionally lifts his horse over the last furlong; Gafihey, who can land at times before his horse; McLaughlin, the mite; Costell o, the nimble; Hay ward, with the strong grip and easy motion; Dan Sparling, the graceful; Nolan, ibe lively; Donohue, the steady; Biaylock, the scythe; Ringo, the rattler; Williams, the musquito, and a swarm Of others. The most remarkable figure on horseback, however, and one which will remain longest in the memory, is that of a little old man who is now winning his share of races on Brighton Beach. Dressed in the neatest and cleanest of trousers, jacket and cp. his close cropped silver hair, clear blue eyes, and fresh, sun burned complexion, adding beauty to his trim built little figure, he site his horse like a part of the animal, straight as an arrow. While restless boys bound away in false starts Vie old man waits like a statue, patiently, until all are on even terms, before he allows his horse to rush off. He then guides his racer with a cool hand through the ruck, rising and falling gracefully with the motion of his horse, never coming down like a spile-driver on the saddle. This man is the famous Gil. Fatrick. Forty-eight years ago he rode his first race on Long Island. Sunday, August 17, 1879, was his sixty-second birthday. I called on the old man at the close of the late three days' rain storm. The sun shone brijhtly into his room. Through the open window came a delicious breeze from the sea. Gil. Patrick's blue ejes sparkled. They were clearer than the ripples which danced off in the sunlight He had ridden Bayard and Baton Rouge, the two best horses at Brighton Beach, along the shore for a breather. The track insids the inclosure was wet and heavy, giving no chance for races that day, so there was plenty of time to talk. The old man said he had about re co ered from the' effects of a severe attack of rheumatism and fever, which nearly carried him off a year or two since. "What drove the rheumatism from your system?" I inquired. "I believe it was accomplished by simply taking a teapoonf ul of Rochelle salts after each meal, according to my doctor's directions." "Where is your birthplace?" "I was born in Duchess county, near f onghkeepsie, in 1817." "When did you ride your first race?" "In 1531. It was a funny affair. I was a tough nut of a boy in those days, and liked to be around horses. I only weighed about 66 pounds, saddle and all. At that time Mr. John Coster, a wealthy New Yorker, owned a fast little chestnut horse. A friend of Mr. Coster's had a fleet-footed mare in his stable. One day these gentlemen bantered each other for a race. A match was made for a pipe of wine. I rode the chestnut horse, a mile dash, oyer the old Union track. All I can remember about the race now is that I rode to get there, and did, winning the wine for Mr. Coster." "When did you ride your first race in public?" "More than 45 years have passed since I first mounted a racehorse in a match. I remember the event as clearly as if it had occurred bat yesterday. It took place on the Union course, and never was commander prouder of a single victory than I on hearing it announced that Wild Bill, the horse I rode, bad won the race in two straight heats. Very few of the large crowd that assembled to witness that race are alive today." How many races hare you ridden since then?" "That is a difficult question to answer," replied the old man. Picking up a snugooking black valise, he opened it and took out a roll of slips and memoranda, which, combined, contained a sort of running record of his life on the turf. From this memoranda it is clear that Gil. Patrick has ridden at leat 2.000 horses in over 5,000 races, winning about 4,000. In purses, slakes, and matches he can safely say that he has won for owners upward of $2,000,000, not losing over $200 000. During his active career he rode races in New York, New Jersey Maryland, Washington, Virginia, Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, A'abama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, California, and other States, as well as England and Canada. He rode the great Boston and his family, including Lexington and Lecompte, in all their important races through a period of 35 years. One of the many horses of note was Ken tucky, bred by Mr John M. Clay. He mentions among patrons of the turf in his time such men as Henry Clay, John C Calhoon Richard M. Johnson, and others. GiL Patrick s account ot the great races between Boston and Fashion, Lexington and Lecompte. and the first contest in England by American horses, furnishes some facts ot interest not generail known. He first began to ride stake races for Mr. John C. Stevens, who then lived in Barclay street. Mr. Stevens' stables were then back of the old Onterville course, L. L About the only acquaintance of his early turf days now living in this vicinity is Captain Isaiah Rynders, who was a great admirer of old .Boston. The first important match race in which Gil. Patrick rude came off over the Union coarse, L. I , May 31, 1836. It was called the great post match of the North against the South, four-mile heats, for $5,000 a aide, the North to name at the post any horse raised north of Maryland, and the South any borse raised snu'h of the Potomac. Colonel Johnson, of Virginia, named the Alabama eraek John Bason mb, by Bertrand; Robert Tillotsoo, of New York, named Post Boy, by Henry. Gil. Patrick rode Post Boy, while Willi, a celebrated rider at that time. rode Bascotn. Turfmen from the South attended the race in large numbers, among them Richard H. Johnson, of Kentucky, afterward vice preai dent, and General Hampton, father of Wade Hampton. New York furnished an immense crowd, the largest that bad appeared on the Union course ap to tnat time. "Port Boy," said Gil Patrick, "who bad . habit of exhibiting bis speed and endurance at the wrong time, was dull and without action that day, while the long legged, light-

bodied Bascomb was full of life. Bascomb won the race In two heats. Time 7:49, 7.6VA. The next great race, and one of the most exciting he ever rode, came off over the Union coarse November 3, 1837. It was a four mile beat race for the Jockey clnb purse of $1,000. The contestants were Lady Clinton, four years, owned by Colonel. J as. W. Seldon, of Maryland; Fanny Wyatt, four years, John C. Stevens, New York; Pictou, three years, Colonel W. Wynn, Virginia; and Mingo, six years, General C. Irvine, Pennsylvania. Most of the jockey clubs of the Union were represented at the race, while a delegation of Indian chiefs, on their way to Washington, were aroused to a fever pitch on seeing the straggle. A turf writer of that day thus wrote of it: "It was a race that will be remembered by each of the 30,000 persons who witnessed it to their dying day, and its history will go down through all time as one of the most fearfully contested and glorious victories ever achieved by the high-mettled racer Lady Clifton and her honest rider, GIL Patrick." Pictou took the first heat In 7:44 the quickest ever made by a three-year old at that time in America. Lady Clifton took the second heat in 7:43)4, and the third heat and race in 7 :56. After a long campaign through the Southern States, GiL Patrick was sent for at New Orleans in the spring of 1812, to come North and ride Boston in his match against Fashion. This race was one of the greatest to be found in the annals of the American turf. It was another match where Mason and Dixon's line divided the friends and backers of the racers. Fashion was owned by Mr. William Gibbons, of New Jersey, and Boston by Messrs. William R. Johnson and James Long, of Petersburg, Va. The race, four-mile heats, was run on Tuesday, May 10, 1842. The stakes were $20,000 a side. Fashion, five years, by imp, Trustee, out of Bonnet's Blue, carrying 111 lbs., was ridden by Joseph Laird; Boston, nine years, by Timaleon, out of Robin, Brown's dam carried 126 lbs., including Gil, Patrick. Some idea of the interest excited by this race may be formed from the fact that nearly 60,000 persons gathered at the track. The race was announced to come off at 2 o'clock, on the Union course. From early morning crowds steadily crossed the East river to Long Island. Every vehicle possible was engaged for the conveyance of passengers, the Long Island raiload sold many more tickets than they could carry passengers. Ten dollars were offered for a standing place In a charcoal wagon. Many left the blocked and over crowded cars and proceeded to the track on foot, some arriving after the first heat. When the race was over a mob overturned some of the cars down a bank and smashed a ticket office. Gil, Patrick, who felt that Boston had not been brought to perfect condition, thus describes the race: "At the signal for the first heat I managed to get Boston away at a rattling pace, taking the inside and leading Fashion a couple of lengths, which position I maintained during the first mile without extra effort in 1:53. On entering the second mile our pace improved, both making a strong run down the back stretch. After leaving the half mile pole Fashion gained on us and came well up. We threw her off on the turn, and led her to the eud of the second mile in 1:50. We continued to lead, and passed the stand on the third mile in 1:54. Thus far Boston had, contrary to expectations, acted well, but he required constant watehlng, for there was no telling at what moment his treacherous disposition would be exhibited. We had entered the fourth mile with every prospect of success, when suddenly Beaton threw up his head, and with

ears back ana mourn wide open, made a charge on Fashion, who had reached our side. Fashion now took the lead at the quarter-mile post, and my work with Boston began In earnest. Twice did he throw his head around, attempting to get one of my feet in his mouth, evidently with the intention of pulling me from his back. Reaching the back stretch, I got him together again, and ran him up to. and for about 300 yards lapped fashion. It seemed bow as it the race was mine, but only for a moment, for in another fit of ugliness Boston ran aeainst the fence, as if determined to relieve himself ot his rider. I saved my limb by drawing it up, but he received a severe gash six inches in length on his quarter. Tnis jarred him. and gave Fashion a lead of at least three lengths. We nearly closed again, however, at the turn. The race had now become one of the most exciting ever witnessed. Up to the quarter stretch, both animals ran at lightning speed, whip and spur being applied freely, arriving borne with Fashion leadincr a length, in l:'6iV. Up to that day this was the quickest time ever made on the Amen can turf. "In the second beat I concluded to change my tactics by giving Boston a trail ing pace, hoping by this means to be able to keep him at his work. Fashion led off with a moderate stride, leading me about three lengths until we reached the back stretch, when Boston made a dash which soon brought us to the side of Fashion. Nearing the head of the quarter stretch the mare outfooted us and lead us to the stand nearly lour lengtns, in x:aa. we neia tne same relative positions on the second mile until we reached the back stretch again, when Boston made another dash and soon challenged the mare, but only for moment, as I did not urge him, being anxious to save him for the last mile. This mile was run in 1:57. Fashion leading about three lengths. I continued to trail on the third mile until I reached the half-stile post, when I took the track, passing Fashion apparently as if she was standing still, and ending the mile in 51J4. Thus encouraged, 1 entered the fourth mile amid the enthusiastic shouts of the friends of Boston; but I was soon again doomed to disappointment, fori had scarcely left tne stana Deiore Boston s suits came on him again, and he slackened his pace, not withstanding the fact that thus far during the heat I had done all in my power to humor bim, and thereby kept him faithful to his work, t asbion closed and passed us at the quarter-mile post, ana then for the first time I gave up all hopes of winning Boston continued stubborn to the close, and Fashion took the heat in 7 :4o." The timers in this race were Robert L. and James Stevens, Senator Barrow, Hon. .Minor M. Botts, ana Major Kinggold. The next race of National interest which Gil. Patrick rode was on Lexington, against the Old Man with the scythe, stake S20 000. over the Metairie course. New Orleans. April 2 1855, Lexington to beat Lecompte's time then the fastest on record 7 :Z6. In this race the Kentucky horse was vic tor, making the record stand tor nearly 20 years at7:l94. speaking A. the perform ance, Gil. Patrick says: Lexington ran on a track which was too hard for speed, as was obvious from the fact that his shoes were broken and thrown from bis feet. He ran his last mile almost shoeless. He had no company in the race to speak of, for during the whole ride I did not hear the sound of the boots of the animals tbat were started on the track to urge him. His first mile was ran in 1:47 4, and it was my intention to keep bim at this pace to the end. but Mr. ren uroeck instructed other wise. I am confident he could have main tained it throughout the beat without the least Injury to himself. This wonld have reduced his time to 7:09! A faster, more noble, or more faithful animal never trod on iron." In 1856 Mr. Richard Ten Broeck started for England with Lecontpte, Prior and Prioress to try conclusions with JSoglian thorougn brads on their native heath. GiL Patrick followed tbem the next year. Leoompie went amiss, and Prior was not altogether himself. The first meeting of American with European horses was for the Goodwood Cup, two and a half miles, on July so. I8i7 Prior and Prioress were entered acainat 10 famous English and two renowned French

horses. GiL Patrick rode Prioress, and Charles LitUefield straddled Prior. Gil. Patrick says he was instructed to run a waiting race in the English fashion, while the old rider' idea was to give them the American rush from the start They went off on so slow a gallop that Prioress could hardly be kept back with the others. The horses were reserved for the last half mile, when the pack were sent in for all they were worth. Here Monarch, the winner, rushed to the front. Prioress racing with Fisherman and half a dozen others in a cluster. The best Gi'. Patrick could do was to come in fifth. He still believes that if he could have had his own way in that race the result would have landed American stock at the front. Shortly after this race Gil. Pa trick returned to the United States. Among the hundreds of other great races ridden by the old man may be mentioned Lexington's last race the match with Lecompte, July 14, 1855. Lexington won the first heat, four miles, in 7:23J. Lecompte was nearly distanced, which caused his withdrawal. Boston's last race with Mariner, three days after the Fashion race, Boston took the second and third four-mile heats in 7:46 and 7:58; Free Trade against Bostona, four miles and repeat, last; Charmer against Louis d'or and Rigadoon, four miles and repeat, won; Nicholas against Engineer, four-mile heats, won; Lightning against Panic and Planet, four-mile heats, won ; J-jrome Edgar against Idle wild, fourmile heats; Edgar made the fast time of 7:2614- Gil. Patrick won the Belmont stake in Jerome park, on Ruthless, in 1867; also the Travers and Seqnel stakes with the same mare the same year. With Ruthless and

Monday, that year, GiL Patrick won for their owner, Mr. Francis Morris, $50,000 in stakes. A New York Reporter's Experience on Mr l)e Young's Newspaper. Mr. John A. Greene, a well-known New York reporter, has written his experience as a reporter on the San Francisco Chronicle: "In 1875," said - Mr. Greene, "Charles De Young telegraphed me to come to San Francisco and take a place on the . Chronicle. I went there in the latter part of June. I had previously known De Young in this city. It was the general impression among his Eastern acquaintances tbat he was one of the smartest, most generous, and squarest man on the Pacific coast. The first esaignmenaot given me on the Chronicle was by Mr. Henderson, the city editor. He was tha daring young fellow who had distinguished himself as the New York Herald correspondent among the Swamp Angela in North Carolina. I was sent to see an old shioping merchant, and shall never forget the hearty reception that he gave me. The English language was not sufficient for his wrath when informed tbat I was a reporter of the Chronicle. When I had an opportunity to tell him that I was a stranger in California he was staggered, and kindly ssid: " 'I beg your pardon, young man. I thought you were an old employee of those devils, the Da Youngs.' "Then he suggested that I Bhould seek employment at ouce upon some respectable newspaper, saying that it would be a disgrace to me to maintain a connection with the Chronicle. "I remained on the Chronicle for a year. In tbat time I learned that the De Youngs were detested by representative persons of all classes te California; yet it was undoubtedly true that the Chronicle was the leading newspaper of the coast, and that it had the largest circulation. This fact was, and is, emblazoned on the rocks, trees, sage bush, and jack rabbits from Oden to San Francisco on tne roads to the Cliff House at Los Angeles, Oakland, Mereec, San Quentin, Mare Island, and everywhere within a radius of 1,000 miles. "Chares De Young 'has been, beyond buestion, the most aring, unscrupulous and most successful man (financially) in the newspaper business in (Jalitornia. Mis elder brother, Gustavus, and his younger brother, Michael, were associated In business with him from the starting of the little dramatic newspaper in San Francisco. Gus., as the elder brother was familiarly called, became insane through drink, and long ago disappeared from San Francisco. Charles and Michael De Young were tem perate In the use of alcoholic drinks or wines. Gus., it is said, was married more than once, but Charles and Michael are yet bachelors. They were noted, however, in Kearney and Montgomery streets. In San Francisco, as 'mashers,' lady killers, or per sons who imagine that they ars adored by the female sex. Charles and Michael (the latter is known as 'Harry' at his request) are both under the medium height. They have very red faces, which are shaved every day, leaving small side whiskers. Although of Jewish descent, they have an Irish cast of countenance. With all tnelr faults they were kindly mentioned as men who had the utmost veneration for their mother. Charles De Young purchased a house for his mother, sisters and himself and brother. and had it fitted np with all the modern improvements. While the furniture in the parlors, dining rooms, and the bedrooms for his mother and sisters, was elegant, ne ana his brother slept on two little iron bedsteads in a room hardly big enough to sling a cat in. Mrs. De xonng lainy worsnipea Charles, and when in an attack upon him in newspaper several years ago her private reputation was assailed, he kept the fact from her. At that time Charles aod Michael exchanged shots with Benjamin Naphtbaly, who had written a scurrilous article against them in a small paper. All were arrested and indicted by the grand jary, bat none were tried. The unronicie, oi course, con tained accounts of the shooting affrays, arrests, indictments, and causes for it all; but a Chronicle containing no account of these affairs was regularly struck off ana delivered by the carrier to Mrs. De Young every morn ing. She was old and feeble, and must now be over 80 years ot age. sue remained in the bouse all the time, and knew nothing of the scandals in which she figured. Now, of coarse, the whole affair will overwhelm her, and Drobably cause her death. Charles lie xoung, wnite ne proiessea to ba the editor-in-chief oi the Chronicle, prob ably never wrote much for it. He directed writers, however, to express nis opinions about current things, and sharply upbraided them for having omnions of their own. ne was one of the most tyrannical of men, and seemed to have no respect for any one in his emnlov. William C. Ralston, the de faulting president of the Bank of California, who committed suicide at Morin ueacn, near San Francisco, two days after the closing of the bank, had been - a friend to Charles De Young. When the bank failed Be Young was in favor of hanging Ralston, wnen tne fact was known that Ralston bad lamped into the bay and been drowned, De Young became bis most vigorous cnampion, ana it was throueh bis exertions that the newspa pen on the coast, and many ethers throughoat the country, suppressed the facts that Ralston was a defaulter and that he bad committed suicide. The San was the only newspaper in New York that printed the tru-hs concerning the whole affair. The Chronicle was crowded with stories of Ralston'a eood deeds. On the morning of the funeral, when the under taker's men were nailing up the coffin, Charles De Young met one of bis reporters on the sidewalk, and said: " "Get in there. you, and take in the last sad scene." "It was in this way that be conducted the leading iournal of California. A man de spised, and respected by no one outside of his iamny, ne was ever ready to aeiame tne character of a neighbor, and always believer in shotgun law when he himself was assailed. Kalloch's history bad, of oonrse, preceded him, and upon bis arrival in San Francisco several years ago De Young began to fill np a pigeon-hole in bis desk with memoranda concerning the clergyman and politician. De Young's desk baa many pigeon boles filled with facta anal rumors concerning the private life of some of the cesvxnown men and women in uauionua.

. OUR YOUNG FOLKS' COLUMN. v Only a Boy. , I am only a boy, with a heart light and free; I am brimming with miscniet, and frollo and glee; I dance with delight, and I whistle and sing; And yon think such a boy never cares for a thing. Bat boys have their troubles, though Jolly they seem ; Their thoughts can go farther than most people deem; Their hearts are as open to sorrow as Joy, And each has his feelings, though only a boy. Now, oft when I've worked hard at piling the wood. Have done all my errands and tried to be good, I think 1 might then have a rest or a play; Bat how shall I manage? Can any oue sayf i If 1 start for a stroll.lt Is, ' Keep off the street!" If I go to tbe house, It Is, "Mercy! what feet!" If I take me a seat, 'Us, "Here! give me that chair!" If I lounge by a window, 'tis, "Don't loiter there." If I ask a few questions, tls, "Don't bother me!" Or else, "Such a torment I never did see!" I am scolded or cuffed If I make tbe least noise, Till I think in this wide world there's no place for boys. At school they are shocked if I want a good play; At home or In church I am so In the way tfl And it's bard, for I don't see tbat boys are to blame And most any boy, too, will say just the same.

Of course a boy cant know as much as a man; But we try to do right, J ust as hard as we can. Have patience, dear people, though oft we annoy. For the best man on earth once was "only a boy." Little Scotch Granite. Sunday-School Vlhltor. Did you ever have a bit of cloth that you thought clean until some time it happened to be laid close by a new piece, and then you saw it to be soiled? In a similar way people discover facts about themselves, as Burt and Johnnie Lee did when their Scotch cousin came to live with them. They were "pretty good boys," and would have been very angry if anybody had called them deceitful. Wall, when their cousin came they were delighted. He was little, but very bright and full of fun. He could tell curious things about his home . Scotland and his voyage across the ocean.' He was as far advanced in his studies as they were, and tbe first day he went to school they thought him remarkbly good. He wasted no time in play when he should have been studying, aud he re cited finely. At night before tbe close of school the teacher called a roll, and the boys began to answer "Ten." When Willie unerstood that he was to say "ten" If had not whispered during tbe dar, he replied: "I have whispered." "More than once?" asked the teacher. "Yes, sir," answered Willie. "As many as ten times?" "Maybe 1 haye," faltered Willie. "Then I shall mark you 'zero,' " said the teacher, sternly, "and that is a great dis grace. Why, l dirt not see you whisper once, said Johunie that night after ecnool. "Well, I did," said Willie. "I saw others doing it, aud eo I asked to borrow a book ; then i lent a slate pencil and asked a boy fcr kuife, and did several such things. 1 sup pled it was allowed." U! we ail doit," said Uurt, reddinlng. 'There iBn't any sense in tbe old rule, aud nobody could keep it; nobody does." "I will, or else I will sav I haven t," said Willie. "Do you suppose I would tell 10 lies in one heap?" O! we don't call them lies," muttered Johnnie. "There wouldn't be a credit among us at night if we were so strict." What of that, if you told the truth? ' laughed Willie bravely. In a short time the boys all saw how It was with him. He studied very bard. played with all bis might in plav time, but. according to bis own account, be lost more credits than any of the rest. After some weeks tbe boys answered "nine and "eight" oftener tban they used to; yet the schoolroom seemed to have grown much quieter. Sometimes, when Willie Grant's mark was even lower than usual, the teacher would smile peculiarly, but said no more of "disgrac8." Willie never preached at them or told tales, but somehow it made tne boys ashamed of themselves, just the seeing tbat this sturdy, blue eyed scotch boy must tell the truth. It was putting the clean cloth by the half-soiled one, you see; and they felt like cheats and "story-tellers " They loved him. if they did nick-name him "scotch Granite," he was so firm about a promise. Well, at tbe end of the term Willie's name was very low down in the credit list. When it was read, be had hard work not to cry, lor he was very sensitive, and he had tried hard to be perfect. But the last thing that day was a speech from the teacher, who told of once seeing a man muffled up in a cloak He was passing him without a look, when he was told the man was General , the great hero "The signs of bis rank were bidden, but the hero was there lust the same," said tbe teacher. "And now, boys, you will see what I mean when I tell you that I want to give a little gold medal to the most faithful boy the one really tne most conscientious; 'perfect in bis deportment' among you. Who shall have it?" i Little Scotch Granite!'" shouted forty boys at once; for the child whose name was so "low" on the credit list had made truth noble in their eyes. Chips for the Children. Willie asked his mother where the stars came from. Her reply was: "My son, I do not know." "Well. I do," he said, "the moon laid 'em." Exchange. A little boy wasone day asked by a clergy man If be knew what an implicit, child -like faith was. He thought he did. Being asked to describe it, after thinking a moment he said: "When my mother says a thing is so, I must believe it is so, if it ain't so." A little girl was visiting the country, and for the first time witnessed the operation of milking. Watching the proceedings intently for a while, she inspected the cow minutely, and then launched this poser: "Where do they pat it in?" A fashionable visitor thus addressed a little girl: "How do you do, my little dear?" "Very well, I thank yon." she replied. The visitor then added: "Now, my dear, you mast ask me bow I do." Tbe child honestly replied, "I don't want to know." A little girl about fonr years old and a little boy about six bad been cautioned not to take away the neat-egg; bat one morning when they went for tbe egg the little girl took it and started for the house. Her disappointed brother followed, crying: "Mother, mother, Susey's got the egg the old ben measures by I" . An exchange thinks the time will cer tainly come when man will go flying through the air.

i n i S IMG FOR THE CURE OF Fever Ague OR CHILLS & FEVER The proprietor of this celebrated raediciae Justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to tbe public for the SAFE, CERTAIN and PEKJIAMEMT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and ever, whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in do case whatever will it fail to cure if tbe directions are strictly followed and carried out, In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It 9 however prudent, and in every case more certain to cure. If its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checKcd, more especially in difficult and long-standing cases. I'suallythis medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order, fc-hould the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single (Imeol BI LL!)
