Bonner’s Trotters.

A New York Sun reporter has been allowed a peep at Mr. Robert Bonner’s noted trotters, which have returned from his farm near Tarry town, and have taken winter quarters in his stable in Fifth avenue. In the first spacious box stall of the commodious stable stands Dexter, the acknowledged monarch of the turf. Dexter was never in better condition, being as fresh and spirited as a three-year-old colt. His achievements on the turf, as is known to all the world, have nevfir been equaled. Mr. Bonner at one time offered SIOO,OOO for any horse in the world that would equal his performance on the turf, in the next stall stands Grafton, a sorrel gelding six years old, with a white stripe in his face, and stands sixteen hands and a quarter of an inch high. With splendid girth, loins and thighs, he is considered the best six-year-old colt in America. Next stands Joe Elliott, the brown gelding, nearly sixteen hands high. His fine style, great strength and hold, sprightly action are considered remarkable. He trotted in public, in harness, over Fashion course in 2:19. Next in order is the beautiful mare Pocahontas. Mr. Bonner purchased her in Boston of Mr. Ephraim Simmons, at a marvelous price, shortly after she had trotted a race in which she made a mile in 2:26. Mr. Bonner has refused $60,000 for her, offered by Dan Mace, who desired to put her on the turf! Mr. Bonner has, besides, over eighty other trotting horses, of the finest blood in the country. They include such famous trotters as the bay stallion Edward Everett, Joe Elliott, Tanner Boy, Everett Ray, Flatbush Maid, Lady Palmer, Peerless, Princess Mambrino, Bertie, Stiletto, Lady Hughes, Lady Murphy, Kate and other trotters of note. Mr. Bonner’s stable of trotters is the best and most costly in the world. He has more money invested in horseflesh than any man living.

The following anecdote of Chief-Jus-tice Chase is told by the Toledo Commercial: “ Soon after Chief-Justice Chase assumed the Gubernatorial chair in Ohio he issued his proclamation appointing a Thanksgiving Day. To make sure of being orthodox, the Governor composed his proclamation almost entirely of passages from the Bible, which he did not designate as quotations, presuming that every one would recognize them and admire the fitness of the words as well as his taste in their selection. The proclamation meeting the eye of a Democratic editor, he pounced at once upon it, and declared that he had read it before—couldn’t exactly say where —but he would take bis oath that it was a downright plagiarism from beginning to end. That would have been a pretty fair joke; but the next day a Republican editor came out valiantly in defense of the Governor, pronounced the charge libelous, and challenged any man living to produce one single line ®f the proclamation that had appeared in print before.” With a little sympathy and a large amount of money a paag can get along ypry comfortably,

Scmwrart Fuukwiu Strut, Sra Wbb Tome Piua.—Theeu deservedly^celefrom attempUn** to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consiunptio* tan be cured, and that it hot been cured in a very great number of caws (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck’a Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. _ Dr. Scbenck himself; Who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate of death, . his physicians having'pronounced his case hopeless. and abandoned him to his fate. He was cored by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many thousands similany affected have ased Dr. Schenck’s preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. Schenck’a medicines are Mid by all druggists.
