The Winner of tlie Derlby.
Ax American horse has come to the front
again in England,, and has won their most
famous of all races, the "Darby." As it is in
order to rejoice over human triumphs of
Americans vs. Englishmen, it is none the less
in order to rejoice over the equine. We have
little doubt that any American animal can
beat an English animal, but in this case itis
unusual cause for congratulation that it is an
American horse, noblest of all animals, that
has shown his heels to the whole English pack,
and that Iroquois, while he is not the first
horse that has won a race in England, is the
first horse that has won the Dethy, and the-
first to really settle the vexed question of the
superiority orthe American over the English
thoroughbred.
The stable which Mr. Sanford sent over several years ago did little except to make a creditable exhibition, but did not alarm the Englishmen as to the superiority of their horses.
In J8'8Mr. Lorillard sent over a detachment
of his horses, with Parole at their head, wnich
changed the views of Englishmen. They began tosuspect, after Parole had won a series
of handicaps, that something good might come
out of America 4n- the^way of a horse. Last
season the Americans were unfortunate. Parole was handicapped so heavily that nothing
could be done with him, andheiwas sent home.
Mrriorillard's Mistake and Sly Dance made a
good exhibition, and Wallenstein proved unreliable for steady work. UfcrlCeene's stable
was afflicted with a malignant epidemic, but
towards the close of the season his Foxhall
andDon Fulano did some very creditable work.
This season, however, the "Vankees," as
Englishmen term all our houses, have been
donsr so well that the other contestants for
the Derby have been alarmed at the outlook,
andjwoof them, IfoquoisandDbnPulano,the
former the property of Mr. Lorillard and the
latter of Mr.fKeene, who came "in second aud
third to Peregrine for the: Two Thousand
Guineas, came to the front at once among 'all
horses in England of their age, though the expectations of the Lorillard party attached
rather to Barret and Passaic, who were beaten

The race came off on Wednesday, and Iroquois
wonihe race by half a length, with the Duke
of Westminster's Peregrine second, aud two
lengths ahead of Lord Bosebery's Town
Moor, third. At the distance-pole, Peregrine
looked like winning at a canter,", but Iroquois
made a dash,, and came in amid tremendbus
enthusiasm, his rider claiming that if it'had
been necessaty he could baW'won the race by

Englishmen and the most of the Royal family
joined in the applause thatfgreeted the brave

Mr. Lorillard is also in the best of spirits, as

injured. Seven accidents caused death, 18
Injury but not deai'h, while in 33 accidents,
or G0.3 per cent, of the whole num ber, no serious
injury to persons is recorded. As compared
with April, 188D, there is a decrease of eight accidents, but an increase of 11 in the number

Set Free by an Earthquake.
An incident which occurred during the late
earthquake.at Chios strikingly illustrates the
truth6of the old adage that "'tis an ill wind
that blows nobody any good," and is well
worth the attention of missionary circles.
Some months ago considerable excitement
was caused by the imprisonment for life of a
Turkish mollah, byname Khodja Ahmet, for
the offense of having helped Dr. ICohle to
translate the Bible and certain Protestant
prayers into the Turkish language. Khodja
Ahmet was shut up in a prison at Chios; and
there he would probably have remained until
released by death but for the earthquake,
which knocked down his prison walls, and
moreover effected the demolition Jn such a
skillful manuer that he was uninjured by the
wreck of the building. When Khodja Ahmet
realized what had happened, he wisely took to
his heels, and, without reporting himself to
the authorities, scampered to the bay, where
"he managed to get on board an English
steamer, and, according to the Levant Herald,
is at present in Lond«>n.
A Mother Sacrifices Her life.

On Mrs. McFarland's son's grave. Tfcey were
accompanied by Mrs. Coryell's four-year-old
daughter. When they reached the depot Mrs.
McFarland crossed the track lirst," and
the child- attempted to follow her,
when 'an express train , which does" 4 not,
stop at tho station came thundering
along. Mrs. Coryell, seeing her child's imminent peril, gave a piercing scream, and, without hesitation, jumped on the track and
pushedthe chid out of danger. She then lost
her presence of mind, and, becoming paralyzed with fear, was unable to move in either
direction. The engineer whistled down brakes,
but before the train could be stopped the locomotive struck Mrs. Coryell and hurled her
over to the platform. Her injuries were considered fatal.
A Pin in a Girl's Tongue.
Miss Hahvev, of Candor, when eleven or
^twelve years of age, was one evening making
• hurried preparations to attend a party. She*
bad a pin between her lips which passedinto
her'mouth and was supposed to be swallowed.
Dr. 'Mfller assumed such to. be the fact, but
the girl insisted that it was under her tongue.
The physician made search for it there,
but failed to "'diseovOi' it and treated
her protestations as the work of imagination. One day Miss Harvey, had a largo bunch
or spoiling co ne upon one side of her

The Tribute of a Tear.
In 1847, Guila Grisi and Jenny Lind
Were singing in London, but at different places. Each star struggled to outshine the other, and those who one
evening went into ecstasies over Grisi's
" .Nornia," were the next evening enraptured with Lind's  '' Casta Diva.''
Such was the rivalry that it was not
to be expected that they would sing to-
f ether in a public concert. But Queen
ictoria, thinking it a shame that two
singers so eminent should be separated
by a petty jealousy, requested both to
appear at a Court concert. Of course,
they complied with the request. The
Queen cordially welcomed them and expressed her pleasure at seeing them together for the lirst time. She then gave
the signal for the concert to begin.
As Jenny Lind was the youngest of
the two it had been arranged that she
should sing first. With perfect confidence in her powers she stepped forward and began- But, chancing to
glance at Grisi she saw the Southron's
malignant gaze fastened upon her. The
fierceness of her look almost paralyzed
the singer. Her courage left ber, her
voice trembled, and everything before
her eyes darkened. She became so
faint that she nearly fell, by the utmost exertion of her will, however, she
succeeded in finishing the aria. The
painful silence that followed its - conclusion—a silence ever noticeable where
those present are embarrassed—^convinced ber she bad made a failure. Tlie
conviction was confirmed by the tri.
umphant expression on Grisi's countenance. Despite the semi-torpidity of
ber senses she realized that the failure
meant lost glory, the destruction of her
happiness and the mortification and
grief of ber parents and friends.
Suddenly something—it seemed like
a voice from heaven—whispered, "Sing
one of the old songs in your mother-
tongue." She caught at the idea as an
inspiration, which had been flashed into her mind between the termination of
the vocal part of the aria and the accompanist's final chords. She unnoticed by the company, asked him to
rise, and took the vacated, seat. For a
few seconds she suffered her fingers to
wander over the keys in a low prelude
then she began to sing.
Her selection was a little prayer,
which, in the long ago, she had loved
above-all other songs in her childhood's
repertoire. She had not thought of it
for years. As she sang, she was no
longer in the presence of royalty, but in
her fatherland, surrounded by those
who listened not to criticise.
"Not one of those before her understood the words of the "prayer," but
the plaintiveness of the melody and the
inspired tones of the pure, sweet voice
brought the moisture to every eye.
There was the silence—of admiring
wonder.
When, having finished the "prayer,"
she lifted her mild blue eyes to her
rivalf" whose flaming orbs had so disconcerted her, she found no fierce expression on her countenance, but instead, a
tear diamonding the long black eyelashes.
A moment after, with the impulsiveness characterizing the children of the
tropics, Grisi ruohed to Jenny land's
side, placed her arm around the girl's
neck and kissed her, regardless of the
lookers-on.
A Man With  Lots of Time to Drink.

squarely in front *of a ginger-ale fount
in a Jefferson Avenue drug store yesterday. One would have said he was about
to'melt, buthe wasn't the sort of man
to be boxed up in a hot day by an imprudent action of his own." He fanned
with one hand and mopped with the
other, and finally inquired:
"Is this root beer?"
"No, sir, this is ginger ale."
" Ten cents per glass?"
"No, sir, it is five"
"Cold?"
"O, yes."

44 Certainly."
44 Well, 1 suppose I might try some.
Is it healthy or unhealthy?"
"Itis said to be very healthy."
44 What organs does it seem to act
on?"
44 Well, I couldn't say."
44 That's unfortunate. How do you
know it wouldn't .aggravate my lung
trouble, or help along my liver complaint? Have you certificates from any
one it has helped or injured?"
44 No, sir."
"ThatVunlueky."

4«■ Well, what do you think? Will it be
perfectly safe?"

• " Then I might try it. You needn't
draw but two cents' worth, considering
the circumstances."
"1—that is—we sell it for five cents
per glass."
"Very well—I won't take any. Have
you any"clear, cold water?"
"Yes."
44 Thanks. Sorry to putj-outoany
trouble, but 1 fell through a hatchway
once by not making inquiries in time.
That's a fair article of water—very fair.
Have you the analysis?"
44 No, sir." *
44That's too bad. If you get it please
lay it aside until I drop in. As to that
ginger ale—let's see. To-day is Friday.
I may pass here about next Thursday,
and if 1 do I suppose you will si ill have
it on draught?"
" Yes, sir."
"And the price will be the same."
44 Yes."'
44 Very well. I have no doubt it is a
refreshing drink, and full up to your
guarantee, but there is no particular
hurry in this case—not the least. I shall
be in the city off and on about once a
week all summer, and any time before
cold weather will do. So long to you."

Photographs of Moving Animals.
The zoopraxeoseope is a long name
to give to a yery simple apparatus, but
probably no other conveys an idea so
briefly of its objects, uses and capabilities. The instrument itself is the
zoogyroscope in an improved form, and
by the revolution of two disks parallel
with each other, but revolving in contrary directions, certain visual illusions
are obtained, which are as astonishing
as they are inexplicable—excepting so
far as their effects are governed by the
general laws appertaining to the persistency of vision. Many of our readers
will remember the surprise and delight
afforded them by an exhibition in this
city last year of theattitudes of animals
in motion, of which this instrument-furnished so important and entertaining a
feature. Apart from many essential
modifications in the instrument itself,
quite a large number of movements of
various animals can now be illustrated,
including ia one picture horses executing various movements and traveling in
various directions at various rates of
speed,-" a race-track, wherein one horse
gradually overtakes his competitors in
the race, and a number of excited spectators are waving their arms.and throwing up their hats in celebration Of the
victory of their favorite,; a deer-huntj
where a deer, followed successfully by
dogs and horsemen, traverses over the
screen. An acrobat turning a somersault upon the back of a horse. A7man
pursuing the even tenor of his way is
suddenly astonished by the appearance
of a wild bull, and seeing no other means
of escape turns a somersault over the
animal's back. W hen it is remembered
these are simply reproductions by photography from the life, with all the
movements of limbs exactly as made by
the living animals, without any imaginary interpolations, their value to the
artist and scientist is self-evident. It is
understood to be the intention of Gov.
Stanford to send the entire equipment
of electro-photographic apparatus to
Europe and. continue .the experiments
there, and, also, to entertain the various
art and scientific societies with a series
of entertainments, for which it is safe to
bespeak for him an appreciation most
gratifying.—San Francisco Post.

A Live Man Who is Officially Declared
Dead.
SCHOOL AND CHtJKCH.
Alphonse Sevier, a Major Jn the Forty-
sixth New York Infantry, after passing
safely through the civil war, mysteriously
disappeared in the year 1866. Major
Sevier was of striking appearance, ;six
feet three inches in height, erect and robust, with long mustaches tnat were the
envy of his fellow-officers. He was quite
a favorite, and his loss was for a time
the talk of his former comrades. His
brother, Gaston Sevier, a member of the
First New York Cavalry, instituted
search for him, but could not discover
any trace of him. Some time later
Gaston received information from what
he considered a reliable source thatMaj.
Alphonse had died and been buried in
Yonkers, N. Y. A minute investigation
served to confirm the previous statement,
and persons were found willing to certify
to Major Sevier's death. Hoping the
intelligence was not correct, Gaston, as
a last resort, advertised extensively in
papers of a large circulation. Not receiving any reply he concluded his
brother was surely dead. In 1871 he.
again had occasion to make an investigation, and again he heard the old statements recited,* When his mother died
in Prussia in 1877 and information came
of the approaching. settlement of her
estate, he was told that by the laws of
Prussia it would have to be definitely
determined tha;t his brother had been
dead two years, or the courts would hold
a portion of the property for Major
Sevier. Consequently he again advertised. Two years afterward one of the
Prussian courts* formally declared that
Major Alphonse Sevier was not alive,
and distributed among others a portion
of the estate which would otherwise
have been his property. Gaston Sevier,
of course, mourned him as dead. But
yesterday evening Gaston, now a reporter for the St. Louis Anzeiger, received a communication, dated at California, Mo>, and signed " Alphonse
Sevier." The writer said he was married, had several children and lived on
a farm in Southern  Kansas.   He had
tone to California on business, and acci-
entally learned that his brother was in
St. Louis. He never gave any reason
for his abrupt departure from his friends
in New York, and did not intimate that
he had any knowledge of the Prussian
court's so conveniently disposing of a'
serious question by striking his name
from the rolls of

A Clergyman's Recreation.
Our country ministers do not show the
interest in rural pursuits that their English brethren exhibit. One of these
brethren had charge of a parish made
up of a mixed community as to occupation, some being farm laborers, others
workers in mills and forges, and a few
skilled artisans of one sort or another.
Their premises were almost barren of
beauty when he came among them and
commenced his work. A skillful cultivator himself, his first effort was to pre-
seutan object71esson in his own grounds.
Then, at invited gatherings of those
whose welfare he had earnestly at heart,
he chatted on a variety of practical
themes, gardening among them. The
spark of interest thus lighted was fanned by judicious presents -of seeds, cuttings and plants—now a rosebush, a. few
flower-roots, or tubers or an improved
potato. Before long some one suggested the holding of. a village show of Vegetables. The next year tables were added for fruit and flowers, and from this
small beginning there came, in course
of time, a flourishing and admirable
horticultural society, distributing annually a goodly sum in prizes,"* partly the
contribution of " neighboring gentry,"
who were doubtless lea to see important
practical results of this " awakening"
among their, tenants. - Thus, through
the example and work of one nobleman,
the entire village was soon transformed
into a garden of beauty.

Falling Out With a King

recently of his trouble with King Oscar
of Sweden said: "The particulars of
the malentendti between us have been

commandments.'     Weil, I may have

simply wrote a letter to King Oscar as,

explanation.     Ho    treated   my letter
with contempt and did not answer' it...
