The best tracks there, Lam told, are hollowed a foot or so deep all round, then boarded, and then cov- ered with layers of well-rolied earth, rolled and rolled again, until It is as level asa billiard-table, and just takes thé marks of the hoofs. The re- sult is that the horses are really trotting on monster concealed spring-boards, the rebound from which helps them along ata far greater rate than would be achieved under ordinary conditions. If one of theso eprine bs tracks, could be made fromthe Rowloy Mile start to the finish, we should have flyers indeed. About two strides would tuke them from the Bushes to the Dip, and two more from the Dipto the winning- post. The performance, indeed, would be only second to that credited to the possessor of the Seven-League Boots, of childis¥#’fable.” BASE-BALL.

Tenney has recently graduated from Brown, and is now residing in Sterling, IL. The meeting announced to take place in New York lust Thursday, to form a league with the Enguirer man as President and Manager, bas been postponed until Dec. 4. There does not seem to be much prospect that Cincinnati will have an ally 10 the new venture. ‘The Providence Club of 1881 will include’ the following players: Ward, pitcher; Gross, catch- er; Start, Farrell,and Bradley, on the bases; aud Hines at centre-field.

The “ Only Nolan” arrived in Cleveland trom San Francisco Thursday evening, on his way to Paterson, N.J., to spend tho winter. He was met at the depot by some of the Cleveland Directors, with whom he bad been in corre- spondence, and Nolan expressed_his willingness to sign for 1831 for Cleveland. The transaction was over in ten minutes, and bis contract bas been forwarded to Secretary Young. The Clipper of last week contained a long article reviewing the work of tho League pitoh- ers of 180. Of the eight regular pitchers, Cor- coran had the sinallest percentnge of base hits and Bond the- highest. Ward had the smallest percentage of eurned runs against his pitching. in the course of the article it nas the following to say about the champions: “The Chicago management has shown conalusively that two regular pitchers are a necessity fora first-class team, fora large share of their suocess is due to the judgment shown in ‘nursing’ their bat- teries.” F, C. Bancroft has finally decided to go to De- troft, and is now organizing a nive for that city. The Detroit Postand Tr®une has the following in relation to the new club: “Tho pitcher for the nine will probably bea Canadian amateur who is regarded by Mr, Bancroft us a phenom- enon. Tho club will probably be composed of the following players: Benuctt, catcher; Mor- rill, first base; Fulmer, second base; Hankin- sou, third base; Gerhardt, short stop; Knight, right field; Hanlon, left ficld; Brown, centro field and change catcher; unknown amateur, pitcher. If Mr. Bancroft fails to get Gerhardt, then Havkingon will probably play short-stop, with Hanlon on third base, and Dan O'Leary, of this city, a3 left fielder, At the meeting of the ‘Nationa League, held in New York City Thurs- day, Detroit was admitted as member to fill the vacancy made by the withdrawal of the Cincinnati Club..

DO WE EAT TOO MUCH? The London Lexcet furnishes the London Spectator with a text for an article on over- eating. Itis admitted that the old-time vice of gluttony is now comparatively rare in en- lightened countries. “Our remote though civilized ancestors,” instead of eating to live, often used to live toeat, They would swal- low food for its own sake until they could swallow no more, “and when they ceased. awere as incapable as many animals after a similar indulgence.” Just here the Specta- tor interposes a plea in behalf of a well- known beast which it believes has. borne more than ba share of contumely in this that only pigs are glut- tons. ‘and eatile will kill them- selves with certain kinds of food, and so will individual Sogs, while all the wild carni- vores are liable’ at times to eat themselves into temporary imbecilit; This is a kind- ly appeal in behalf of a creature that cannot speak for itself, but still when we say that a man eats likea pig we mean something dif- ) ferent from what we do when we say that he ike a horse or dog. SR set has Its notorious gutton »; there are huge eaters in China and ‘Africa; among the abstemious Moors there are men whe ‘in- cline to like indulgence; our own In jane ‘tare constantly guilty of gorging ane snakes till they can hardly move. fit ne practice is not noticeable amon the ent yated people of Western coun! ries, who, however, to‘a degree make up for self-denial in this way by intemperance in drinking. But while excessive eating of the disgust- ing sort is rare, the Lancet questions, in what the Spectutor calls “acuriously cau- tious”? way, whether or not, as a rule, people do not eat more than they need. «The last- named journal speaks out on the subject in a more Tadical waypand without any fear of conservative prejudices. It says: “We believe that the extension of wealth, and the extreme public ignorance upon the subject, tend to foster a habit of taking too many meals. Men and women eat three in ten hours and a half, breakfast at 10.0, m., lunch at 1:30 p. m., and dinner at 7:30 p. m.,—a division of the twenty: four hours of the day which can hardly be healthy. 36 leaves thirteen hours and a halt without food, while in the remaining ten anda half there are. three meals. It would be better, we imagine, for sedentar: men to reduce theirs to two, taken at consid- erable intervals; or, if that 1s too worrying, to confine the intercalary meal to the merest mouthful, taken without sitting down, and with no provision to tempt the appetite. Lunch for those who work with the brain is the de- struction of laboriousness, and for those who work with the hands is the least useful of the meals, It is very doubtful whether the powerfully built races of Upper India, who eat only twice a day, at 10a. m. and 10 p. m., are notin the right, exactly equalizing, as they do, the periods of abstinence.” Our contemporary seems to be conscious that these assertions are too vague and sweep- tig to carry with them the weight which be- longs to that scientific accuracy which is the result of careful, exact, and Jong-continued experiment. itis.easy to say that men eat too much, but no trustworthy authority has furnished us with an easy formula by ap- plying which to specitic cases we may decide how much a man may prudently eat, or how little he may safely eat, in certain circum stances. Whien the Spectator says that veg- etarianism has failed, ‘the flesh-eating peo- ples outfighting, out-working, and out-think- ing the eaters of vegetables only,” it puts it- -selfinline with popular prejudice as dis- |. tinetly as, when it takes ground in favor of only two meals a day, it sets itself against popular prejudice. ‘Phe truth probably is that no universal formula can be furnished. No doubt there are men who can do very well with two meals a day, or can even get on with one, while there’ aro certainly men who need more than two. ‘There are men who are satisfied with meat once a day, while other men demand it at every meal. So, without approaching gluttony or even a conscious excess in eating, one man requires twice as much food, meat oy whatever, as the next man. Very liberal allowances must be made for differences not omly among races, but among individuals of the same race. AMERICAN NERVOUSNESS. Lecture Before the Philosophical So- clety by Dr. Beard, of New York. Avery woll-attended mecting of the Philo- sophical Society was beld yesterday evening in the club-room of the Palmer House, which was filled with an audience of ladies and gentlemen who had gathered to hear a lecturo by Dr. George W. Beard, the well-known experton Insauity, of Now York Olty, upon “ American Nervousness."! The meeting was presided over by Prof. Rodney Welsb. : ‘The jecturer, in his opening, assumed the position that the peculiar nervousness of the ‘American people was not only more marked than that of any otber nation, but was distinct from them in its characteristics. He did not belleve that modern nervousness was a hereditary taint handed down from the great-grandfathers, who were sogiven to the use of stimulants and to- baceo, These men were not made nervous by what they smoke and drank, becauso they did not have the nervous condition originally which is go common in the present duy. For the pro- duction of the alogholism of to-day, not only tho overindulgence fn stimulants was necessary, but also the norvous sensitiveness wag necessary. The lecturer drew thé attention of his audi- ence toa tree of nervous diseases which ho had drawn upon a blackboard, as springing from tho foundation of nervous sensitivencss, They wero nervous dinthesis, sick-headache, bay-fever, nervous diseases, neurasthenia, and insanity. Though it was not generally considered 80, hay-fever was a nervous disease, and though it was known in some parts of Europe, it was much more common in America than else- where, more cases of this diseasa occurring in the State of Iifnois alone than in the rest of the world, the balance of the United States except- ed. Anurmy of 50,000 hay-fever patients nrise in the United States annually, giving ample rane oF the extremely nervous nature of its eople. P<fhe personal beauty of American women was a very instructive topic to be considered in con- nection with American nervousness. It was the result of two factors,—of climate and the pe- culiar social position of American women which produced that fine nervous organization which is essential to the production of great beauty. Activity of the mental and intellectual nature was early developed in American wom- a who, in their girlhood, were burdened with RESPONSIBILITIES OF ENTERTAINING, and allowed in a greater measure than the girls of other countries freedom of thought and ac- tion, They lived easier lives, too, as a rule, than the foreigners, among whose middle and lower classes labor keeps down the standard of beauty. One cause of the almost universal homeliness of the wonien who were tne subjects of Euro- pean works of art wag thut the artists had prob- ably never scen a really handsome woman. A great cause of this nervousness was mod- ern civilization. Civilization alone would not cuuse nervousness. The-Greeks were civilized, and yet they did not possess it, but modern civ- ilization, with its stem pewer, .telegraph, sciences, spolitieal anxieties, and the mental actiyfly of womnn, did so in a large degree. ericun civilization ditfered from that of Europe in its greater intensity. In European States one man bore the responsibility of Gov- ernment; here every one did, The strain of frequent. elections was constantly present. pro- ducing disappointments to about one-half of the people. Protestantism, with its various sects, also helped to increase the Nation’s nervousness. No Catholic country was nervous. For them the Church carried the burden of religion. Here it was ditferent, and the bickerings in and between the sects wag not carried on without neryous accompaniments. * Three great questions continually agitated the American people: Who shail be our next Presiagent? How shall we keep trom starving? and Where shall we go to when we die? AS exemplify ing the extraordinary strain of mind which men interested in politics willingly undergo, the lecturer cited the case of a bouk- keeper, whom he ‘bad attended xs a sufferer trom nervous disorders. This man had been brought from a condition of nervous prostration toa point where he was able to attend to his duties eufely. He had been provided with a small margin of nerve force by the use of which he wasenabled to conduct his daily task. Ho was, however, alwayson the edge of a recur- rence of his nervous troubles. During the late political excitement he entered beurtily into election work, and, when remonstrated with by the lecturer, he insisted that Hancock's election was necessary for the sulvation of the Nation, and he could not think of sparing himself in the gcmergency. The duy before the clection he called upon the lecturer and Informed bim that his old trouble had occurred. He could not sustain a five minutes’ conversation on political topics without becomimg physically and men- tal Me prostrated. The lecturer provoked a gen- eral luugh by closing the narration of this epi- sode with the dry remark, “J have not seen the gentleman since theelection,”” —- THIS WAS ONLY OXE CASE out of thousands which could be traced to the excitements srising from the political cam- paigns, and when it wus considered how fre- quent ‘these are and how earnestly they ure conducted it was not to be wondcred xt that the Americans were a nervous people, ‘The lecturer held that hysteria was a mental and not a-physical disease, and ctted the Jump- ing Frenchmen who live near Monschead Lake, in Maing, as a proof of this. Their peculiur con- dition bad nothing to du with modern nervous- ness, and so to-day In Parts, in some purts of ltussia, in Africa, and cven in Asin, the sume kinds of mental trouble were to be found. ‘Among the climatic causes of American nerv- ousness was the dryness of the climate. This dryness was evidenced in many practical ways. Emigrants from European countries found, on arriving here, that thelr clothes huny out todry lost their molsture quicker than be- fore: their hair grew stiff, end aceded olfing; bread grew stale very rapidly, matches lit inure readily, ete. In this dry atuiosphere the pulse was quickened, and in some very dry climates the body becume so charged with clectricity that a spark could be brought from it. ‘or all this there was no fear of the American people being emasculated and destroyed by rea- son of ‘their nervousness, as its. increase wis overcome bya unprecedentedly rapid growth of the people's strenyth. Americans weighed more than their. fathers of 100 yenrs ago, and during the same time’ the European had been growing thinner and lighter. The tact was that Europe is being Americanized and America Germanized, and the phicgmatic nature of the Teuton immigrants was an ad- vantagreous factor in building up the American eople. Pepiliscussion of the lecture was opened by Prof. Broomel, who urged that there was too strong a tendency alreat iy to credit people who had committed crimes with a lack of responsi- pility for them, and he feared that the promul- gation of the lecturer's views would not ameliorate this condition of atfaira. ‘Mrs. Dr. Smith thought that the lecturer had been too vague upon many of his points, though she agreed with him that the Germanizing of the American people was likely to be followed with beneficial results. Dr. Jewell said it did not seem to him that Dr. a Beard bad made it quite clear what he meant b: Beard mness, and especially American nervous: pers. He bod no doubt that there was a peculiar national cast of nervousness.’ There was a pe- Guliar national character among tho English, Germans, the French, and other nations. He thought the lecturer had been woo sweeping in the position that the American peopio are the fons et origo of nervousness. The speaker had hever seen & more nervous peopic than he had met Arabia, and’ yet they were not to as the lecturer had cited a8 giving rise to Amer jean nervousness. He didnot think the lectur- rhad clearly defined what nervousness was, and had failed signal to tell in what American nervousness consisted. Prof. Samuel Willard thought that, though the lecturer might have exaggerated somewhat jn treating bis subject, bis lecture was calcu- lated to do a grent deal of rood. "After the lecturer had briefly replied to the strictures of his critics, and had been tendered a yote of thanks for his discourse, the meeting adjourned. ‘ART NOTES, Fine Lace Work—Studlo Notes, A piece of Inco work has Deen executed in this city of such perfection, after ten months of ex- port industry, as to incline one to the belief that the Old World’s mantle has at last fallen on the Metropolis of the West. Strange to say, this Jace was not wrought for@ wedding tlounce, or’ a wedding veil: uit, according to that same Old ‘World's traditional taste, which has made sacris- ties and sanctuaries the treasuries of ‘the most exquisit hand-work in existence, for a priest's cotta, or short, looso surplice; and har been presented by the ladies of the Holy Name parish to their pastor, the Rev. Dr. MoMulleg, Vicar General, and since tho death of Bishop Foley Adminietrator of tho Diocese of Chicago. The cotta, moreover, was wrought by one of Dr. MeMulien's parishioners, Mrs. Jano Conlan, whoseskill hes been long the admiration of those interested in this beautiful industrial art. The ieco inquestion belongs to oneot the four families of Irish handmude lace, and is known, all over Great Britain, as ‘’ Miss Reed's lace.” It was introduced on the Bath estate, County Monoghan, Ireland, about forty years ago, by the lady whose name ft bears, with the co- operation of Lady South, Lady Shirley, and Lady Fox. Salesrooms for this lace are estrblisbed tn Dublin, London, and other principal cities of the islands; as through them ladies send orders to the schools. Birs. Conlan received her instruc- tion from Miss Reed, persoualiy; and drawing lessons, for she draws ber own patterns, trom a renowned London master, named Manessa. Intime she was appointed as toacher In Miss Reed’s school, ana was intrusied with a Ince veil, to be worn by Lady Fox at a wedding. ‘This was executed with such elegance and romptness that a luce tlounce, to be presented bs Lady Fox to ber Majesty Queen Victoria on the occusion of her visit to Dubiin, was put into the bands of Miss Recd’s pupil and assistant, now Mrs. Conlan, of Chicago; and it is nid that the lace tlounce presented to her Majesty docs not execed in delicacy of execution or elegance of design the cotta presented by the jndies of the Holy Name to their pastor. This utilizing of home skill, thus securing an unique specimen of industrial art, instead of Suiting several yardsof “point” from a pieco of which the remainder can be bought by the next customer, is an cx- ample to be followed. The te fs now at band’ when the ladies of wealth in Chicago cgn show an honorable emulation in giving their orders to tho skillful bands of deserving home-workers, instead of vieing with each other to enrich im- porting houses. * The elogant parlors of the Calumet Club have revently been adorned with a superb portrait of Gen. Anson Stager, one of Its founders and most. influential members, fresh from the easel of Mr. Pine, now of New York, but who will be well remembered ps one of our best portrait artists before the fire. The portrait is x three-quarter longth, representing the sitter standing, with bis left hand easily thrust in his coat and his right holding bis bat, and wearing the familiar light overcoat thrown back. An outdvor scene with balustrade and column makes a vory effective vuckground in relieving and bringing out the figure. The likeness is very striking, and the expression particularly happy, while the work is marked by these excellent flesh tints and - its smooth, delicate finish, which were always so characterletic of Mr. Pino's style. Itis a hand- sume and valuable acquisition to the Club's col- lection, and a pleasant souvenir of an artist who was always highly esteemed in Chicago.

HABEAS CORPUS. ‘The Seymour (ase. - A. B. Seymour, the marrcharmed with the lar- ceny of $2,000 belonging to a Cincinnati frm, was before Justice Hammer yesterday. Wien first arrested here the officers tried-to:rum tim’ off to Cincinnati, but oné of them, Laughlin, was himself arrested and' indicted for kidnap- ing. He was released on bail the other day obtained a requisition from Gov. Cullom for Seymour's arrest, and appenred yesterday be- fore Justice Hammer to claim his prisoner, tho case having been set for hearing at that time. During the morning, however, C. B. Nelson, Seymour's bondsman, took possession of him under the law, whereupon Seymour filed a peti- tion for a writ of hapeas egpus. In the writ he states that on the th of October he was arrested on e@ warrant from Justice Hummer on complaint of John Laughlin, who charged hm with Jarcony. He gave bail in the sum of $1,000, but esterday. his surety. C. B. Nelson, surrendered him. When he was arrested his captors attempted to kid- nap him and take him to Ohio, but his struggles attracted the attention of Col. Tyompson, and be was rescued. Corrigan and Laughlin, the persons who arrested him, were subsequently indicted for kidnaping. This arrest, Seymour claims, is purely malicious,.and grows out of some busincss troubles. He is the owner of a patent for manufacturing’ M@rseshoes, and in July, 1879, made an agreement of partnershi with one Roth, a confidence-man of Cincinnati. Astock company was organized; but Seymour says that when he found out the character of the men be was dealing with he refused to assign his patent to the Company, as he had agreed, and they are teying: to wot even with him by having him arrested on charges of different kinds. In April last he started a horseshoe factory at Hyde Park, and in September following took there a quantity of steel rings, clamps, and rolls which he had ear ‘the June previous in Cleveland of |. W. Cheatout. This purchase and shipment was in some unknown way construed into a larceny, and Seymour was arrested for it, with the result above stated. Tho writ of habeas corpus was immediately issued by Judge Burnum on the filing of the petition, and Sey- mour, by consent 0! Bt atc was admitted to bail in the sum of £1,000, which was furnished. phe ied of the case was then adjayrned to e 16th. ‘When the case was called before Justice Hammer, Laughlin declined to prosecute, but usked to be allowed to serve the requisition on Seymour, The urt discharged the old man, and as Constable Hartman, who had the writ of habeas corpus, took him from the room, Laugh- lin followed with his documents. He missed his man, however, but bad the satisfaction of sec- ing him ride away in a back. ‘The case wus pretty fully written up in Tae ‘TRIBUNE at the time of the alleged kidnaping, but there have been developments since which are not without Interest. Roth, the Cincinnati man, is In trouble, and Laughlin, instead of be- ing a Deputy Sheriff from Hamilton County, as he first gave out, is suid to live over on the West Side, and to claim membership in_the noble army of Cook County Constables. For several Teusons the hearing on the 16th promises to be a fairly interesting one. << BRIBERY AT ENGLISH ELECTIONS. Nothing Equal to It Ever Known in This Country. Elections in England have never been wholly free from bribery and corruption. Your bold Briton appreciates the ballot, but is susceptible to influences thut are now said by Democratic Executive and Campaign Committees to be potential among Demo- erats in Indiana, In the last election in En- gland corruption and bribery were so exten- sively practiced by both Tories and Liberals that Parliament authorized a commission to inquire into the matter. Charges were spe- cific against a number of constituencies. Though the report of the Commission is yet to be made, twelve members of the ILouse of Commons haye been unseated, and more probably will be, while one or two of the constituencies are likely to be disfranchised. ‘A recent number of the London Times con- tainssome curious information on the qeet of corruption, elicted by the Comm! Ve cannot, of course, go into details which cover pages of that great paper, but some facts may be ‘gathered from the testimony that will be entertaining as well as interest- ing. th Oxford two pounds, or ten dollars in our money, seems to have been the ruling price for votes, and it was paid readily by either side, but the more commgn plan was for some employer to hire as many men as he could at from six to seven shillings per day. As one witness said, who had upwards of 100 men engaged, some were set to work on Jand, some to watch other men, and some to do nothing. Some watched the em- ployer’s house, others watehed oppo- sition houses, others guarded poles and ilags, others tore down Liberal bills and stuck up Conservative ones, Several jiun- dred pounds were expended by one man in this way. He took no receipts; nor was the money handed’ to him by others than atrangers, who brought whole bags of gold to him and went their way. Of course the men hired were voted, and * tipped” after- wards, When the money was handed the agent it was not counted. “You see, sir,” suid the witness to the Court, “we have confidence jn each other.” : Another feature in Oxford was breakfast for the voters or workers on election-day. An agent of either side was expected to bring from four to five men for break- fast. One side in Oxford gave 780 break- castes 08 course treating to the beer was In Chester, Mr, William Brown, silk mer- chant, admitted he was out of pocket from £1,000 to £2,000, He was Vice-President of the Liberal Association, and had been con- vinced by experience that money must be used or the Liberals would be beaten. But he thonght the nioney.would be legally used orhe would not have advaneed {t. But it was admitted thaton both sides public houses were engaged to ‘treat, and give breakfasts and dinners, and railroad excursions were devised, of which the wives and children of voters took advantage, ag they were free to all comers of the right political stripe. Even the ladies were enlisted, and formed commit- tees to visit the poor, and especially the poor families where a voter was to be found. In Sandwich it was no better, The land- Jord of the Star and Garter told of the enor- mous charges he nade for parlors and rooms occupied for ten or eleven days. He charged £6 a week for rooms that in ordinary times he got fiveshillings for. There were scores of gallons of lemonade and spirits in his bill, and for refreshments furnished. He just “lumped” these thi: and they were paid for by the agents o' ndidates. It was in connection with Sandwich that Sir Julian Goldsmid unfolded a melancholy tale. Hie had been persuaded to stand as the Liberal candidate, and sent down his agent, a Mr, Edwards, to arrange for his coming. Edwards had liberal ideas of a carivass. He ordered refreshments on a grand scale, and more flags and wreaths than were ever seen in Deal. -.He stuck up poles in nearly every fence corner, hired men to watch them, . when Sir Julian came down to see how things were progressing, (trew on him for money— at first £500, then £250, and finally £1,500. Sir Julian-had not much stomach for: the fight anyway, and stood his ground only be- cause he feared the censure of his Liberal friends in London. But he saw he was be- ing sold out anyway. He protested with his agent against such extravagant use of money, and Lady Goldsmid was likewise disgusted; but Edwards went on treating everybody, buying. flags, and poles, and rosets, other things by the hundred pounds’ worth avatime. Men approached Sir Julian and offered to vote forhim for 80 many pounds or such and such a position. and when he de- clined they rushed off and joined the Con- servatives. The Liberals had some forty or fifty public houses employed, and the. Con- servatives more than 100, Sir’ Julian esti- mated the cost of these to the Liberals at £800, and between £2,500 and £3,000 to the Conservatives. Ben were hired for all sorts of fictitious employments, and as they had little else to lo. than eat, drink, and fight, there was abound- ing drunkenness, Of course, Sir Julian was beaten, and badly. The money was against him. Hence his lugubrious tale to the Com- mission after paying out from $10,000 to $15,- 000. Had he made it $50,000 he might have won. ‘This fs an example of other and Iike cases. Men came forward and unblushingly sold their yotes. Nor was the practice confined to the lower orders. In the business of buy- ing and selling, men of the professions, pro- fessors, magistrates, army officers, etc., en- gaged with such freedom that the practice seems not to be regarded as very reprehensi- ble in England. Possibly the exposures made by the Commission, the unseating of a dozen or more members, and the disfranchisement of a few boroughs will work a reform. It is certainly needed, if the franchise is to be of any value in ascertaining the real will of the English public when Ministers go out and make their appeals to the people. _————$__ LOCAL CRIME.
