A STORY OF THE RACE TRACK. row Richball Won from Buffalo Girl, Lucy and Flora Bell. from the Chicago Inter- Ocean. johnny Campbell, tho well-known horse inan. has changed but little during the in tervening years that have drifted away s n ce he first became famous in Chicago starting annals by his masterly handling of the bald-faced pacer Richball in a free for all side-wheel struggle that left many an achinv void iu the gang's pocket books, and that with some is still nothing but a hitter memory. It was in July, 1883, and that night before the race the writer, then anew comer on the Chicago press, dropped into the Palmer House to ascertain how the pools we re selling on the next day's races at the Driving Park. The vast rotunda was crowded with trotting horsemen from all over the country, and the silvery tongued pool sellers were doing a land offico business. The free for all pacing race tho next dav, in which Buffalo Girl, Lucy, Flora Belle, Richball and several others were to measure strides, was the medium for a vast amount of speculation, for Buffa lo Girl was a strong favorite, with Flora Belle as the second choice, whiles in jxiols of *5OO and $6OO the despised Richball could be purchased for a $lO note. It was that race that gave Johnnv Campbell his start in the world, and the bald-faced pacer yet occupies a warm spot in the genial littlo horseman’s heart. “It doesn’t seem such a long time ago, looking back at it now,” he said, “since I downed the gang over this track with Rich ball. but I guess there are some men in this place who still have a vivid recollection of the occurrence. The boys did not think Richball was worth taking into considera tion, and so made a combination, leaving him out, and had things all fixed in good shape for Buffalo Girl to win. Fayette Smith, his owner, tuyself and two or three others, however, know what Richball could do, and so we quietly purchased all the tickets that, were sold on the horse. Fayette Smith was to drive him an easy heat in the first and then I was to get up behind him and cut loose at the gang. Well, Fayette drove him the first heat, as was planned, but, as you will remember, Lucy ran into him on the upper turn, there tangling him all up, and they were both shut out. Owing to tho accident, however, thp judges agreed to let Richball start again, and no one ob jected, as he wasn’t thought of as being dangerous. Just before the second heat I was sitting on the club house steps, when I overheard someone say to Jim McCarthy: ‘“Campbell’s going to get up behind Richball.’ “Jim laughed and replied: ‘Oh, that’s nothing. If Richball gets dangerous we can stop Campbell with a $5O note.’ I kept as quiet as a mouse, and they walked away without seeing me. Well, I drove him an easy heat the second heat in order to get him steadied again and the third heat I cut loose and won with him. They seemed to think my winning that was kind of a fluke, but when I came back and won the fourth they were as badly a scared lot of men as you ever saw on a race track. Jim Mc- Carthy came right down to see me, and calling me one side he said: ‘Say, Campbell, you don’t think you can win this race, do you ?’ “ ‘Oh, yes I do,’ I said. “ ‘Well, now, say,’ he went on, ‘we’ve got considerable money on this race and stand to win quite a sum on Buffalo Girl, and the boys told me to see you and offer you $3OO not to drive it out.’ “ ‘Now you know that ain’t enough, Jim,’ 1 replied, laughing all the time to myself “ ‘Well, well, we’ll make it $5OO then.’ “ ‘Mot enough yet, Jim.’ “To make a long story short he kept rais ing the price until he got up to a couple of thousand, when I took a big stack of pool tickets on old Baldy from my pocket and showed them to him. “ ‘Do vou stand to win all that?’ he asked, after looking them over. “ ‘That’s what I do.’ “‘Wait here a few minutes till I go and see the boys.’ ‘■He was gone for only a short time, and when he came back he "kept increasing his price until finally be offered mo $7,000 for the race, and then I refused. He had lost his temper a little by this time, and— “ ‘Confound you, just name your price,’ he said. “'Look a here, Jim,’ I answered, ‘you said before the race and when you heard that I was going to drive, that you could stop Johnny Campbell with a fiid bill, and now you Arid that $7,000 won’t do it, You go back to your party now, and tell ’em that you’ve found one man that ain’t got any price, and that that man’s Johnny Camp- Dell. I kin win this race and I'm going to do it.’ The boy's tried to hedge out then, but it was too late, and I went on and won with Richball just as I said I would. ‘•What made us think that we could win the race with Richball? “Well, I’ll tell you. At Louisville one starlit night before wo went to Washington, when honest men were all in bed and rogues were traveling, or in other words between 1 and 3 o’clock in the morning, I drove him three heats, every one of which was better than 2:12, and that was fast enough to beat anybody in those days. I haven’t seen old Baldy in a long time now. The last time was at Dallas, Tex., and when I went into his stall and spoko to him he knew me in a minute and whinnied after me as I walked away. I never struck him with a whip in my life, and yet I could get more speed out of him than anybody also. I used him kindly and he seemed to have confidence in me. One of the days, when the right time comes, I’m going to buy him back. He helped me out of the hole, and it will be only' fair for me to see that he ends his days in clover. A great horse was Richball, and when right and on the edge he could beat any side-wheeler that ever looked through a bridle.” THE PRINCE WHO IS WITH US. Young Yturbide, of Mexico, and His Romantic Career. From the yew York World. Prince Augustin D. Yturbido, grandson of the first Emperor of Mexico, is at present “doing” America. His highness is a young nmn, only twenty-three years of age, and has only just now started out to see this country, but ho comes of a blood on both his father’s and mother's side that has seen and experienced much. His father, Angel de Yturbide, the oldest son ot' me Emperor, having escaped from Mexico with his mother, the Princess Josephine, at tho time of the execution of ihc Emperor, was placed by her in the Georgetown (D. C.) College to be educatisl. V bile here he met aud fell in love with the Bil l who was afterward said to be the hand somest woman of her time in tho Houth, a Miss Green. Mme. Yturbide, us she was railed after her marriage, which took place w 'iile her lover was a member of the Mexi can Legation, was a descendant of the old colonial family of the same name. Her pa tcrrml grandfather was a Governor of Maryland, and her maternal grandfather Gen. U. Forrest, of the Maryland lino. Curing her life in the South, both before X 1 '* after the death of her husband, Mine. Yturbide occupied the greater part of tho hme at the old family mansion on the Georgetown road. It was a famous obi Douse then, as indeed it is still. It was on the lawn in front of the portico that Wash ington stood when he chose the site of tho national capital. Ho was standing there with t,l:p grout French engineer, “l’Enfant," and Instancy lighted on the spot. “That," D" said, “shall do the place to which my jißiiic is to be given,” and they then and •here liegaij to draw the plans w hich were ■ s l * ar * R toward what it has become. It this same grand old estate, Kosedale. from which a slice was sold to become even more J‘ely known at the present time as Presi oent Cleveland’s “Red-Top.” For a time after her marriage Mine, t turbido lived hero most happily with her ["-’band, who was, by the way, noted for [*‘ing an ugly n little man as Ills wife was pUtifuL When Maximilian became t.mperor he, having had no heir by the ninprewi Cariotta, elected that the pneout Prince Yturbide should be brought to him and announced as his legal and royal heir. Angel de Yturbide readily agreed to this, as it seemed to him but the restoration of his rights to the old Emperor's grandson, and they removed to Mexico. When Maximilian fdl and was so soon executed the 4-year-old Prince was rescued from the mob" by the intervention of Mr. Seward, and was soon with his mother in Washington. After a little time the family returned to Mexico, but m 187‘J, on the death of Angel de Ytur bide, they again returned to Georgetown. From here the young Prince was sent to M oohvich to be educated, becoming while there an associate and intimate of the Prince imperial. By an especial act of Congress Prince Yturbide’s property has been returned to him, and he is the possessor, among other property, of 15,000 acres of land ana a gor geous hacienda about one hundred and fifty miles from the City of Mexico. In tastes and appearance both his highness is ex tremely English, the former having been acquired through his residence abroad, and the latter—especially his blue eyes and fair hair and complexion—from his Briton-like mother. The only relations Prince Yturbide has now are Princess Josephine Yturbide, now 75 years old and a resident of Mexico; his mother, and a cousin. Prince Salvador Yturbide, who is now 35 years old. Salva dor visited Philadelphia iu 1873, and his dashing, dark beauty cut a wide swathe, it is said, in feminine gardens there. In those days he kept a large gold Mexican coin in his pocket with his grandfather’s profile on it as the best likeness possible of himself. Later on Prince Salvador was in the Pope’s army, and bis cousin said he was known there also as “Le beau Dragon.” Emperor Yturbide’s youngest sou died in Paris in 1873, where he bad earned a preca rious living as the keeper of a public house. His nephew, our visitor, having been re stored to his rights, is in no such straits, but is iu the most luxurious and desirable fash ion a gentleman of leisure. As such he has made no distinct plans for his visit here, although ho has some idea of visiting both Newport and Bar Harbor. In such event he will accept some of the many invitations already extended to him. A CLEVER SWINDLER. How “Doc” Minchon Duped a Montreal Woman to the Tune of $lOO,OOO. A New Haven special says that detectives are scouring the country for one of the greatest of confidence men—“ Doc” Min chon, with over twenty aliases. A few days ago a handsomelv dressed woman, accom panied by York detective, visited the local authorities in search of Minchon, who was thought to be hiding here. Minchon’s latest swindle, by which he realized nearly $lOO,OOO, is one of the cleverest on record, according to Inspector Byrnes. The woman in the case is Mrs. Margaret De Foya, a wealthy widow. Her husband died a year ago anil she resided in Montreal. She had left her $150,000. Minchon, to escape a United States jus tice. went to Montreal, where he opened an office for the sale of Western land securities. He became the confidential friend of an artist who was painting a picture of Mrs. De Foya’s husband. Through the artist he became acquainted with the rich widow. He first tried to inveigle her into putting her money into Western farm lands, but she wouldn't do it. He then decided to marry her, and he did so after a long siege. The marriage caused quite a little sensation in Montreal social circles. He next per suaded her into converting her property into cash or negotiable securities; $50,000 was turned into money and dia monds, and about as much more into bonds. The pair then went to New York and put up at the Metropolitan, on Broad way. The second day after their arrival Minchon induced his wife to go to break fast without his company. In her absence he broke open the strong box containing all her fortune and left. He is wanted iu the United States and Canada for over fifty offenses, and is known to the police from M ontreal to San Francisco. Inspector Byrnes has his picture, and saysheisone of the cleverest swindlers of the age. Minchon is 35 years of age. 5 feet inches high, of stout build, weighing 1(50 pounds, has brown hair and moustache, dark eyes and full face. He was born in New York, and is one of “Con Lynch’s” gang. A French Duel that Was Bloody. From the London Standard. Paris, Aug. 28.— Two voung men yester day fought a duel and ran each other through with their swords. The account of the encounter, signed by the four sec ends, is laconic: “After a few minutes’ en gagement, M de Melville, attacking his ad versary vigorously, wounded him in the chest near the right arinpit. His sword came out in the upper part of the back, af ter piercing the right lung. Replying im mediately, M. do Labruyere wounded M. deMelville full in the chest. His sword, which was twisted by the violence of the thrust, glanced off the first rib and per forated M. de Melville’s left lung.” Some time ago a commercial traveler at Gay was sitting in a cafe, and in talking aloud to an acquaintance, said something uncompli mentary to the officer of a regiment of dragoons quartered in that town. M. de Melville, a Lieutenant of that regiment, was sitting at another table, but overheard the remark. He got up and ordered the commercial traveler to accompany him to the barracks. This was refused, which caused M. de Melville to forget himself so far as to go straight to his quarters, put on bis uniform, and return with several sol diers of the guard and drag the commercial traveller to the barracks, where he was locked up till he was delivered by the inter ference of the police. The victim of this arbitrary conduct commenced legal pro ceedings' at once against the Lieutenant. The incident made some stir in the Paris press, and in commenting upon it, the Cri clu Peuple called Lieut, de Melville a weak headed fool. The officer demanded repara tion, but it was refused him on the ground that the press had an undeniable right to appreciate acts that had been made public. Nothing more would have been heard of M. de Melville and the commercial traveller. I but M. de Labruyere, a young Radical journalist of considerable talent and un doubted honesty and courage, thought it necessary to give M. de Melville a lecture. Ho wrote that instead of going to fetch the guard he should, if lie considered iiis regiment had 1 eon insulted, have gone up to the commercial traveller, named himself, and then insisted on retracting the words on the spot. In case of refusal he should have cliastisrd him himself then and there. To have acted otherwise was to have been wanting in sang froid, which, added M. de Labruyere, “is in the army called by another name.” M. do Melville’s seconds, who were sent to M. de Labruyere, found him quite ready to fight. So this miserable quarrel has ended in two young gentlemen running their swords through each other s body. M. dc Labruvore is, according to the latest news, out of danger aud progressing favorably. M. de Melville, whose wound was the most serious, wished to return to Gay, but is now lying in a very critical con dition at the bouse of a friend in Paris. Don't Laugh at Nervous People.

AT THE CROSSING. From the Dakota Bell. Bee her lift her dainty feet. As she steps across the street. While just a glimpse of silken hose appears; How she deftly keeps her skirt. From trailing in the dirt. And all the pools and puddles neatly clears. There's a momentary trace Of a cloud of flinty lace. Which floats beneath the margin of her dress; But the breezes seem to know As they quickly cease to blow. That the damsel swings a signal of distress. Her glowing looks betray. As she treads her muddy way. An inward qualm lest something may be wrong; But her ilgure, trim and neat, Goes tripping down the street And soon is lost amid the busy throng. The Grave of Mrs Surratt and its Lonely Headstone. From the Washington Sentinel. Strange as it may sound, one may ask a dozen people iu Washington where Mrs. Surratt was buried and be told they “have really forgotten” or “never knew.” Vague reports flitted through the press at the time that her remains were lying in the Potter’s Field, or that thev wero given to a medical college. Not half the people in Washington know what dis position was made of them w hen the o! arsenal grounds were remodeled anil the bones taken away. Finding that the bodies of Wirz and Mrs'. Surratt were interred in Mount Olivet, your correspondent went out to the home of the dead and visited the noted graves, about which there has been so much lyild speculation. The sexton met the inquiry for the grave of Mrs. Surratt with a very significant smile, which he explained as follows; “The curiosity to see her grave would have kept a guide busy all the time for the first few years after she was buried here,” said he. “We could not spend time to show people the grave, so we used to direct them as well as wo could and let them find it for themselves. There is one curious thing, though. No one who has said anvtliing about it in print has ever been able to te l the truth.” Taking the main road, the lot containing the remains of Mrs. Surratt was reached, lying near and facing the extreme eastern boundary of the cemetery. It is the very last row of lots on that side of the grounds. The lot was donated by a friend, and is a large, well laid out lot, containing the one neglected grave. Some time ago a man was erecting a monument on his lot, and an old discarded that was taken down ha wondered what he should do with. Finally an idea occurred to him to ‘ ‘donate it to Mrs. Surratt.” It was accordingly set up at her grave as a headstone, the original name was cut off, and ♦ * : MRS. SURRATT j * * inscribed plainly across it. It is an old. plain marble slab, about four feet high, and stands in a leaning position. Child Labor the Last Resort of Pov erty. From the Chicago Herald. In a single cotton factory in Cohoes over 1,200 children under 16 years of age, were found at work. All wero densely illiterate and so were their parents. The majority of the latter signed tha affidavits required by the inspectors with the “cross.” They could neither read nor write. Among tho immi grant children lately landed at Castle Gar den the inspectors found less illiteracy. As in New York so in Massachusetts. In the Bay State, one of the oldest American com monwealths, the proper officials lately re ported 121,000 persons over 16 years of age who were unable to read or write. Child labor is the last resort of poverty. If the head of the family is able to earn a liv ing for his family be will not permit his children to work. Child labor is tho spring of every evil which menaces the republic. It means illiteracy, mental and moral turpi tude and a pronehess to crime. Crider any scheme of protection which fulfilled its pre tenses to protect the workingmen it would not be necessary; it would not be possible, but that is the trouble with tne tariff pro tection—it doesn’t protect.
