Beecher’s last great sermon is on
the duty of loving one’s self. This
is a doctrine which he can practice
as Well as preach, without causing
scandal.
Beecher draws a wide distinction
between selfishness and selfness.
The difference is about as great as
between his righteousness and
rightness.
Private Hendricks, of the Lamar
Rifles, of the city of Dallas was

inventor.
Edison should now invent a sheet-
iron man With brass diaphragm to
ride this break-neck machine.

A Minnesota father who lias five grown-
up daughters lias sued the county. He

Boll worm is doing a good deal

Under the heading, state news, in
the Galveston JSTews of the 2nd, the
wheat crop of Tarrant county is re-
ported as averaging twenty-five
bushels to the acre. The News
must have taken the item from one
of our city papers. H was thought
at one time during harvest that our
wheat' crop would average fifteen
bushels, but the wet weather will
reduce the average to twelve bushels
and in some localities to ten bushels
per acre. We give these as “bottom
facts” not wishing to mislead any of
our readers.
A special to the News from Mar-
shall states that the line of the
Trans-Continental railroad will be
located at once to Whitesboro,'eigh-
teen miles west ot Sherman, and
that the line will bo extended-still
farther west. It also asserts that
only five miles of this projected
road will be part of the Fort Worth
branch. This must certainly be a
mistake, for wo are’ not advised of
any line west of Shermtin, for which
there is a charter but iho line to
Fort Worth.- Will the officers of
the road explain this dispatch ? If
n'ot, why not ?

The New York Herald has,
through its reporter, explained the
latest discoveries of Prof. Edison,
among them the tasimeter, a most
delicate instrument for the measure-
ment of pressure, the most sensi-
tive insUuhve'nt to heat or electrici-
ty ever invented, - It can bo used,
says Edison, -as an ’“electric gover-
nor,” like a steam governor; and
will act on the telegraph line. This
he claims will overcome aK obsta-
cles arising front' dampness and
changes of atmosphere. Edison is
also perfecting his megaphone, by
which sound is heard at great dis-
tances.

TE5T BEDECK AND MACARTHY.
The great race between the Cali-
fornia mare, Mol lie Macarthy, and
Ten Broeck, comes off to-day over
the Louisville course. The mare
has never been beaten, and Ken-
tuckains will put up the last dollar
upon their horse. As the race is
the best two in three four mile heats,
we are inclined to favor Ten Broeck,
who must have more endurance and
bottom than the mare; the latter
doubtless has the heels on him. It
will be a grand and glorious day for
Kentucky, if Ten Broeck should
beat the heretofore invincible mare.
The Kentuckians are emphatically
horse men; to use a paradox, it is
their hobby.
We were present at the great two
mile race over the Richmond course
in 1853, between Red Eye, repre-
senting Virginia, and Nina, South
Carolina. Although the mare led
the horse and won the first heat
easily, she was beaten on the sec-
ond heat, and was withdrawn. Red
Eye was a horse of great power and
endurance, and was pressed to his
utmost speed under whip and spur,
for the purpose of wearing out the
mare. ITe won a four . mile race
the next year at New York, by run-
ning sixteen miles consecutively, a
most remarkable feat. This was his
last performance on the.turf.
We have referred to the race be-
tween Red Eye and Nina, by way
of illustration. Believing that a
horse has more stamina and bottom
than a mare, we venture the predic-
tion that Mollie Macarthy will win
the first heat and Ten Broeck the
second and also the third. Our
opinions are based upon the suppo-
sition that the horses are in good
condition, and that there is no at-
tempt to swindle the public by a
sham race.
It is claimed that the climate of the
Facific coast is more favorable for
the development of the horse than
that of the Mississippi Talley. The
native horses are said to be capable
of performing wonderful feats, trav-
eling on some occasions, in emer-
gencies, one hundred miles in twen-
ty-four hours. The result of this
race, of course, would prove noth-
ing, but will create a rivalry, and
the matter will be fully tested on
many hard contested courses. The
Kentucky horse has won laurels
on both continents and the time
made first, by Lexington and then
beaten by Longfellow, has never
been beaten by other horses.
Whatever may be said against
horse rac'-g, still wo must admit
that it is the sport in which the
American people take the most de-
light. England has hitherto been
the theatre for the great races of the
world, and Derby day is the galla
day with John Bull. In the last
few years the people of the United
States have taken the lead not only
in raising and training fast horses,
but also in attending and patroniz-
ing the turf.
The first great natinonal race
came off on Long Island between
Sir Henry of Virginia, and Eclipse
of New York, over fifty years
ago. The next most notable event
In racing, was the great race over
the New Orleans course, between
Lexington of Kentucky and Lc-
compte of Louisiana, a few years
before'the'1 war, in which, perhaps,
more money changed hands in the
race, than at any previous time, or
since that time. State pride was
aroused to the very highest point.
Longfellow, who had beat Lex-
ington’s time, the' best that was ever
recorded, ran against the great
northern horse Bassett, at Saratoga,
and was beaten owing to an acci-
dent, a few years since.
Ten Broeck Was beaten b}* Parole
over the Jerome Park race course
last fall. Such was the interest ta-
ken in the'race at Washington City,
that there was not a quorum in
either bouse of congress, for' the
transaction of business, on the day
of the race.
We might refer to several other
great races that were made at a later
day, but we have already extended
our article to such a length that we
misty subject ourself to the charge of
being rather a horse-man. The race
between blooded horses is so much
more exciting,1 and so far as the
horses are concerned, so much more
liberal, fair and chivalrous, than the
race between politicians for office,
that we gladly turn from the latter j
i to the former; j

the highest standing in Louisiana and other

pains, for years, from which they sought re-
lief in vain by visiting the Hot and Warm

using dozens of remedies more or less high-

died out, they have found relief froth pain
by the use of the Annihilator, and by con-
tinuing it for a short time. have been per-

jurious results by the delicate as well as- tit
robust in constitution.
