Pittsburg Post The afternoon mail had arrived on Thursday and brought, among other things, the Pittsburg papers. When T opened my copy of the Post and saw what Maud 8, had accomplished at | the new driving park T turned to a| gentleman who sat beside me and said ““Maud 8. has beaten her record, and | has trotted in '104,” | “‘You don’t mean it!” said he. ‘Lot | mo look at the paper,” The, gentle- man who said this was Mr. W, P, Hulbert of Cincinnati. He is one of the men of that place, and is worth a | million or two. Mr. Hulbert laid the paper down and said Towned Maud 8. fora weck once, Capt. J. Bugher, an old ri man | who came from up the Monongahela river, was a frm\h of mine. He was| a great horseman, and one day he went over to asale of blooded colts at Alex- ander's farm at Woodburn, Ky., Bugher bought 11 colts. and then it began to rain in torrents. We stood under an umbrella as the last colt on the catalogue was brought out. She was a pretty, bright-looking thing, and I told Bugher ho had better buy her. He said he' had bought enough, and I concluded T would take her my- self, and so I gave $145 for her. I put her in with Bugher's colts, and they were all sent to his farm. About a week after this I went to the farm and asked where my colt was. Bug- her showed me a little, nervous look- ing sorrel colt, which had a piece of atring tied around its neck. He said it was my colt, and that the string had been put on it in order to distin- guish it. It did not look to me as if 1t was'the colt Thad bought, and I said 80, but Bugher was positive, and I left it go until the next time we went out to the farm. I remembered then that my colt was a bay, and not a sor- rel, and I told Bugher so, and he con- fessed that he had been mistaken, so I took the bay and Bugher took the sorrel, and that's where I made a mistake. = The serrel was Maud 8. and the bay was her sister. Maud has trotted in 2:08 and the sister can’t trot under three minutes. Bugher put the colt under Bair’s hands to train when she was three years old, and in a short time she did magnificent work. Old man Bugher died and his son gave erders to Bair to sell the mare for 8850, Bair came to me a dozen times and wanted me to buy her. He said she was the fastest thing in the way of horseflesh there was in the country, but I didn’t care about making the purchase. After awhile Stone bought the mare for $300 and allowed Bair to manage her, She showed so much speed that Vanderbilt heard of her and wanted to buy her. Stone said he would sell for $21,000, $20,000 for himself and one thousand for Bair, rovided the mare trotted in 2:18. he was put on the Lexington track and made the mile in 2:17 3.4, which was just Dexter's time, Vanderbilt bcug{lt her and put her in charge of a man who could not do anything with her. He treated her roughly and she would not trot, Vanderbilt wrote to Stone and said: ‘I bought that mare for $21,000 and she can't trot in 2:35. I don’t want to be called an ass. What shall I do about it?” Stone said that if the mare was sent to him to train he would make her the fastest trotter in the world and he did. Only a few weeks ago a man named Woodmausee, who repre- sented some St. Louis men, went to Vanderbilt and offered him a certified check for §100,000 for Maud, but Vanderbilt only laughed and said she was not for sale. And that is the ‘“‘nervous little sorrel colt that he would not keep,” and Mr. Hulbert | softly rubbed his chin and looked at me with a queer smile that spoke vol- umes, *‘You said she trotted in 2:08,” said I, ““do you not mean 2:1047 “No, sir,” said Mr. Hulbert, promptly. It is well known that the mare can trot in 2:08, and what is more, she has trotted a mile on a reg- ular track on two different occasions. Of course it was in private and not on record, but she was timed by compo- tent men, with stop watches, Aloxandrian [(Sketches. Egypt Gazette, Any one who may be staying at Ab- bat's hotcl and be waiting for his bath about half an hour before sunrise of a hot summer morning will be amused by lounging out of the window and watching the beginning of daily street life in Alexandria. The ice-merchant is generally the first to arrive on the scene, He comes down a small side street over the way, and he comes very early in order to catch the very early vegetables which come in by donkey loads. He is a tall, thin, lantern.jawed wman, melan- c!mir, and, fortunately, not easily ex- cited, He does not go through the worry and fever of his bundle of onions and half @ dunjn tomatoes, but has made doep-laid arrangements with one donkey boy (p ssibly a relation), who throws him his daily portion as he pass without a word. Soon after- ward tho bowab of a neighboring house comes and sits down and the two commence a game of cards almost without a word. "Over this they grad- ually thaw, and presently, the sun com- ing out, and the streets beginning to fill, the ice merchants pluck up energy to lounge over to his big blue ice-box, which has been standing under the wall of the hotel all night. He opens this mournfully and takes ouv two spring scales, one to weigh the large blocks bought by the suffrages, and a maller one for little boys who peddie h, and who bring baskets of ~shay- gaining for gs to put small lumps in. These little boys, by the way, do not pay but give checks, and there will be trouble in the evening when the ice merchant tries to collect on them, The ice-merchant makes three or four cigarettes and puts them on top of the frame of a sign-board, two or three feet above his head; this having been done, he lics down on his ice-box and sleeps. Next, a bowab, six feet long, comes out with a beneh, four feet long, on which he essays to sleep at full length, He is not aman of much resource, for when his legs get brushed off one end he merely reverses himself and sleeps again until his legs are brushed off the otherend. His bedding, which is merely a piece of sacking, is to all THE O)lAHA DAILY BEE;‘ TUESDAY, AUGUST 9 14 DECAYING DENVER. appearance exactly the same at onc (The Decadare of Leadville Have end as the other, but he alyays changes it, and there may be some thing special about the end where hio lags his herd. with a wooden tray and a very small stool, and lays out his tools.

Galena Cor. Loulsville Courler-Journal Tt is now pretty well understood that Gen, Grant has fully concluded to change his residence from this city for good, and will in the futurc make New York his home. The general is very much attached to Galena, and but for business enterprises would no doubt remain in. this city during the remainder of his life, ere ho was living with his family and other rela- tives when the war broke out,and here are numbered some of his best friends, who knew him when a yery or and obscure man. His home is situated. in a very de- lightful part of the city, and i\ermnn passing through town on the llinois Central have a very good view ot the Grant residence from the car windows. The house is a good, sub- stantial, but rather plain two-story brick, the exterior finish and clabora- tion being modeled after a very sim- lo and tasteful style of architecture, he yard 1s kept in the very hest of order, the trees and lawn being nice- ly cut and trimmed, The house for some time has been under the charge of an old soldier who served under Grant during the lato unpleasantness, and, with the assistance of the worthy fellow’s wife, everything alout the establishment is kept in the very hest order. Some of the furniture has been taken away and is stored at Long Branch, but many of the presents presented to the Ger.eral and his wife during their tour around the world are still to be seen at their Galena residence, including elegant paintings, valuable and very rich china and majoliea crockery. His library js still here, and is a very valuable one, embracing a choice library of books on historical, sciontific and art subjects, as wel! a good as- gorted variety of works of fiction and poctry, Many 'presents given him while in China, Japan and other for- eign countries are in Philadelphia in the care of George W. Childs, and perhaps his nuierous and costly gifts will never all be gathered together until the retired warriors scttled down some place to remain. He can not call Galena his home any more than New York, Oshkosh or Louisville, but it is now generally thought here he never will live long enough in Galena to run for a full-ledged Alderman, Grant still holds on to his St. Lonis farm, which is a very valuable piece of property. Tt is very desirably lo- cated, and has the very best improve- ments for well cultivatod farm land. He has had several offers tosell it,bat his friends think the gencral wonld rather sell almost anything than his Missouri property. 1t is understood that some wmltfiy railroad magnates wanted to buy the place, and soon af. ter Grant struck the country from his foreign rambles they made lim & liber- al offer, but the silent man thought he had the best jack knife of the two and “wouldn’s swap.” How much Grant is worth is a hard matter to solve, Like all rich men, his wealth no doubt is overestimated. It has been said that his travels around the globe cost him $50,000, and that he came home a 1nuch poorer man than he was the day he sailed upon his journey. Be this as it may, Gen, Grant is thought to be a very wealthy man by most of his old friends in Galena, and should he live and keep his health, the time will come around when he will not be ashamed to sit upon the financial ladder with the proudest millionaires of the land. His Mexican railroad schemes, while yet i an undeveloped state, Grant thinks productive of tho richest har- vest of any seed he hLas yet sown, The General and Mrs, Grant are ex pected to return to Galena late in Oc- tober, and, after remaining here for a few days, he will go to New Mexico, WOMAN'S TRUE FRIEND, A friend in need is a friend indeed, This none can deny, especiall when assistance .is rendered when one is sorely afilicted with disoase, more par- ticulary those complaints and weak- nesses s0 common to our female pop- ulation, Every woman should know that Electric Bitters are woman's true friend, and will positively restore her to health, even when all other yeme- dies fail.

(1) Materially Affected the Con- dition of the Colorado Motropolis. Denver (Colorado) Letter to The Chicage Merald. Tho tourist boom is not so great as it was last summer, Three hotels t H1is | have come to financial grief, and the il effects of one passed out under the auctioneor's hammer. Lodging and v | boarding houses aro focling the offects ‘o | of the plentiful lack of “‘tenderfect; that is what Yt‘l‘]lh‘ from the east are contemptuously called by rough-shod miners, and the term has passed. into general use. Summer is the busiest scason of the year, for the tourist travel and eastorn hunters for soft things in mines give an impetus to Denver, andto the miners at work In the winter business matters are practically sus pended, Denver is what is called the ‘*‘dis tributing point” for the state. But it is seriously thought there will soon be 1o points to distribute to, The mines of Leadville are nearly ex- hausted. No great developments were made in the Gunnison, and pros- pecting has been going on all summer, burrowing the state from end to end, and no “‘second Leadville” has been discovered. Discoveries must soon be made, or explorations will stop and capitalists hunt frosh ground, and *‘ye honest miner” pick up his shovel and walk. The history of mining coun- tries is that when @ boom subsides it rarely revives, For instance, Califor- nia became exhausted, and miners and capitalists went over to Nevada; then came the ‘“Bonanza boom.” That boom and its echo are no longer heard, Miners and capitalists drifted to Col- orado. They struck it at Leadville, and now Leadvillo is exhausted, and has not half the lmplllll'-l'un it boasted one year ago. The other half are hunting for the place where the next “atrike” will be made. Just prior to the discovery of car- bonates in Leadville, Denver was a dead town of about half its present size, or 20,000 population. Almost everybody wanted to leave; that is, those of enterprisc and business am- bition. They wanted to go to Mon tana, where a small mining boom was rolling. Those Wwho had enough money went, Others could not sell their houses and sand lots, which were offered at a song, the buyer to pitch the tune. It was even a difti- cult matter to exchange those deso- late looking lots for bull teams and provisions enough to get over to ontana; and those who could not sell were compelled to stay. The Leadville excitement broke out and p(:nqlla flocked here and up there by the hundreds, Lots that were offered at one hundred dollars went up to one thousand. People be- gan building all over town, knowing that Denvor would be the center of trade and “shipping point” for Lead- ville, Also, that Leadville being nearly 9,000 feet high, on a mountain covered with snow in midsummer, it was an_unhealthful place, and that the families of mining operators and other business men could not live there with comfort, and would seek some ‘‘valley resort.” Denver was built up mainly for their accommoda- tion and that ot tourists and health- seckers. Even last year, when it was plainly apparent that Leadville was on the down-grade, business houses and residences to the value of $100,000 were put up, The reaction is now setting in, and, unless some rich nunes are discovered before the close of next summer, Denver will wear the aspect of Goldsmith’s imaginary ‘‘deserted village,” Grandmother Used to say: *“Boys, if your blood is out of order try Burdock tea;” and then they ul to dig the Burdock and boil it down in cttles, making a nasty, smelling decoc- tion; now you get all the curative proper- ties put up in a palatable form in BUrDock Buoon Briters.
