Ail Orange Co., correspondent ot tlio
New York Sun, in n sketch of Gold
smith Maid, says that Decker, her
owner, only desired to mako a first cIpss
farm horse of the Want,
At the end o' the half-day’s plowing
she lay down in the furrow, kicked her
self loose from the plow, and ran
awny. She got to he known in the
neighborhood as "Decker’s worthless
colt.” There was one thing sho would
do and took great delight in. That was
joining in the running races that were
then the popular sport in Sussex county.
Rut her owner never know when she
was entered for these races, and had no
suspicion that sho was being used in
that way. She was always taken sur
reptitiously from the field, and scorned
to have a premonition of what she was
wanted for. The races that sho ran in
always camo off on moonlight nights,
and sho heat all tho crack runners in
the country. Xn worthless as sho was,
John B. Decker loved the mare, and
would have housed her like a queen if
she had hcen willing.
At tho ago of 7 sho was tho snmo
"worthless Decker colt." Hho had not
put her head through a collar in four
years. This was in 18(14, and John II.
Decker, who had left his uncle’s before
the oolt was horn, had never seen her,
having removed to Newburgh. In that
year ho and 'Hquire Bingham of New
burgh woro driving through tho country
buying up turkeys for speculation. It
was in Novemlier that they brought up
st Uncle Johnny B.’s farm, which is
three miles from Dookortown. John
II. Decker saw tho mare, and saw at
once that she bad points aliout her that
few horses had, and ho wanted to buy
her. lie offered $‘250 for hor, but his
uncle emphatically refused. Then John
B.’s wife took a hand in. Hho had long
been disgusted with tho mare, ns she
had "eaton her head off” a sooro of
times. Hho said to her husband that,
as the would-be purchaser was his
namesake and a near relative, he ought
to sell him the mare.
"Give him $2(10," said she, "and he’ll
take it.”
Ho the nephew "made it $2(10,” and
the uncle fiunlly snid that if ho would
catch tho mare alone he could hove her
for $200. Tho condition was accepted,
and, after more than an hour’s persist
ent effort, the younger Decker suc
ceeded in getting the mare in the barn.
Then tho older Deoker wanted to baok
out. He offered his nephew a blooded
black maro that ho had refusod $000
for if he would leave tho wild maro.
John H. rofnsed to mako the exchange.
At the time of this transaction John
H. Decker's parents lived three miles
from Goshen, near tho villago of Den
ton. Bingham and Decker drove away
from Johnny B.’s with the mare tied
behind their wngon. They stopped nt
Decker’s father's for the night, and it
was noised about tho villago in a short
time that John Dookor had paid $200
for the well-known "worthless oolt.”
William Tompkins was then keeping
the Talmage House at Hampton, a mile
from Denton, lie had long had his
eye on tho Docker maro, but had uover
been able to buy her. Hearing that
John Decker had bought her, Tompkins
drove over to see her. John Decker’s
mother was a good and very pious
woman, and had a great horror of fast
horses. His father alsiHwas disinclined
toward sporting matters. Mrs. Decker
gathered from the talk of the men that
they anticipated great things of the new
maro as a trotter. When Tompkins ar
rived one morning Decker and ’Squire
Bingham were about ready to start on
their way.
A hired man wns showing off tho
mare in the lane, and Mrs. Decker wns
a sorrowful spectator, remarking that
she was sure ruin would follow her son
if he owned a fast horse, and sho know
he had just refused to accept an offer
from 'Squire Bingham of $130 for a onc-
half interest in her. In relating the
circumstances to the writer, he said that
he really intended the mare for h.'s
brother-in-law, Judge William Fuller
ton. Tompkins looked at the mare a
minute or two, and then bluntly said
tbit he would give $350 for her. On
hearing this Mrs. Decker appealed to
her son to sell her. But Decker de
clined. Tompkins raised his offer $10.
Decker s mother begged him with tears
in her eyes to get rid of the mare at any
price, and his father added his voice to
hers. At last, his parents seeming 60
much in earnest, and exhibiting so much
feeling in tho matter, Decker accepted
Tompkins’s offer, and he drew a check for
$360. While this was being done
Decker was looking the mare over, and
repented selling her. Ho made pretence
of not caring to take Bill’s check for the
mare, but his father asked to see it.
When it was handed to him he wrote
his name across the back, and, remark
ing that he guessed it would go now,
handed it to hie son. There was no ex
cuse forffurther opposition, and Tomp
kins drove off with the Decker mare.
John H. Docker and Bingham started
for Goshen, but the more the former
thought of what ho had done the more
he regretted it, and he said he was
bound to get the mare back if he could.
if Tompkins’ check was good for $360.
The answer came back that it was good
for only $300. Decker then declared
that ho would goto Hampton and deliver
up tlio check and rcoovor the maro.
Before he could get away, however, a
telegram came from the bank that the
oheek had been made good, and the
mare was lost to him forever.
Alden Goldsmith would never lutve
bought the mare but for John H.
Decker. Tompkins bad hor still in the
spring of 1865, and could do nothing
with hor. One dnv Deoker met Gold
smith on an Erie Bail way train, and tout
him that if ho wnuted to get the liest
piece of horAo flesh there was iu the
county he would tell him, for one hun
dred dollars, where she stood. Gold
smith said all right Decker told him
of the Deoker mare. Goldsmith re
plied that he had seen her, and that she
tvns/'no good." He did not know hor
pedigree at that time, and Deoker told
him what it was. Then Goldsmith be-
cnnio interested, and suoceed in baying
tho mnro for six hundred dollars. The
l>opular story that an old wagon was
pnrt of the consideration Is nr t strictly
true. Bill Bodine, who was the marc's
trainer, and by whoso skill nnd patience
she wns mado what sho became, told tho
writer that Goldsmith had been promis
ing Tompkins n wngon for some timo,
and when the latter delivered the mnro
to its new owner ho saw a second-hand
wngon that suited him standing in Gold
smith's she<l. Tompkins reminded
Goldsmith of his promise, and asked
him for the wngon, ns he could take it
right along with htm then. Goldsmith
looked at the wngon a while, and then
said: "All right; take it along. I'll
have to sond it to tho blacksmith shop,
anyhow, before long.” And Tompkius
took the wngon.
By tbo fall of 1865 Bill Bodino had
conquered the marc, and that Hnroo toa-
son ho entered her for hor first public
trotting match. The trot wns to bo on
tlio Middletown track, with a hor no from
Fort Jervis known ns I,oily Brown. The
nurse wns five hundred dollars, with a
forfeit of fifty dollars. The race did not
come off, for Mr. Goldsmith entered her
for a trot with tho then famous horso
General Waikor, on tho Goshen track,
and tho date was the snmo nH tho Mid
dletown entry. Bodino paid the fifty
dollars forfeit, and tho maro won the
raoo in threo straight heats, making a
record of 2:26. nor next important
race was tho great trot on the Middle-
town track with Dexter, when she was
beaten by that then King of the Turf.
Liquor Dealers In Trouble.
A meeting of New York liquor dealers
was hold to effect nn organization to as
sist them in securing a more lenient ex
cise law. John Onvanngli was elected
president. Mr. Cavnuagh stntod at
length his views on tho snbjeot nnd the
oonrso that should bo taken by tho deal
ers. He olnimed that each liquor dealer
in tho city controlled from five to ten
votes, and if the denlers wanted to put a
stop to the polioe raids they must unite
their patronage and support,
"If tho 11,000 licensed liquor dealers
in this city, controlling, as wo do, 100,-
000 votes, would work together for tho
eloction of a Mayor and a District
Attorney,” said Mr. Cnvanagh, "there
isn’t money enough in Now York to do-
fent any big brewer, if we should nomi
nate him for Mayor. I don’t care what
tho party is wo join or whether we start
one of our own. I’ll vote for any man
if he will say he is in favor of n fair ex-
ciso law.” Mr. Cavanngh then wont on
to say that the licensed dealers ought to
lie considered ns honorable as other
merchants, but tho public would not
discriminate between them and the un
licensed dcnlors who encourage vice,
"This ring under which wo suffer origi
nated at Polioe Headquarters,” snid he,
"and has gradually worked down to the
District Attorney’s office. ”
A committee was appointed to perfect
the organization and aeoure the co-opera
tion of tho dealers in the other wards.
Mr. Corragin thought that by closing
the saloons on Sunday while those in
Brooklyn, Jersey City and the suburbs
wore kept open, tho bread aud butter
were being taken from his mouth. Ho
wns in favor of closing during churoh
hours, but keeping open for a stipulated
i timo during the day. Mr. Piper wished
no action taken on that subject. "Wo
don t wish to advertise ourselves as law
breakers, ' said he, "though everybody
knows we are. For there is probably
not an hour in the day that we don’t
violate the law. The law saye we shall
not sell liquor to children. Yet I am
afraid some of us do.” The meeting
then adjourned.
Bleaching Skeletons.
The assertion that the twenty-three
skeletons recently found together in Da
kota are those of soldiers killed under
Sully is in all probability correct. Gen.
Alfred Sully, immediately after the bat
tle of Chancellorsville, in which he took
part, was transferred to the command of
the district of Dakota, and in August,
1863, headed an expedition against the
hostile Indians. He fought them at
White Stone Hill in September, and
skirmishes took place the following sea
son at Tah-kah-ha-kuty and iu the Bad
Lands. These affairs ended the cam
paign, and it is thus clflftr that the bodies
now discovered have lain as they fell for
a score of years.
In how many other

Reaching Goshen he telegraphed to the j bleaching, the relics of by-gone Indian
officers of the Middletown Bank asking I tights 7
A Lot of Monopolies.
When g committee of workmen come
to you and say that, as you have a great
many contracts half finished, and ns men
are scarce and hard to get, and as they
have you on tho hip, they will strike iu
ten minutes unless you allow them to
set their own pay at tho highest figures,
then that is a monopoly thnt acts just
precisely as the Western Union does
when it absorbs a rival line and tells you
that, as there is only one office in this
town, they will raise the rate a little.
When you tell your workmen that
times arc dull, and the market is stag
nant, and thnt you don’t need them
anyhow, and they can work on halftime
or none, they you are the monopoly.
That is, you are tho striker. A monop
oly is a chronio striker. It is always
watching n chance to pinch yon aud
squeeze a little more work or money out
of you for its own benefit.
And the lady who burns stake and
chips china for you at $1 a week is a
monopolist. You spent six wuckB look
ing for her, she stays with you two
weeks, breaks $8 worth of china aud
glnss, and loses $2 worth of spoons and
forkB, collects $6 for wnges nnd goes off,
with twenty-four hours warning, .to a
place that offers her more china to smash
and $3.50 a week for smashing it.
You soo, my son, iu looking about for
a monopoly to denounce or demolish,
our naturally envious dispositions lead
us to assail the monopolies thnt are more
fortnnate than our own. We clamor
against Vanderbilt und Jay Gonld and
Western Union, and fuil to observe the
smaller monopolies thnt differ from the
great ones, not in spirit, but only in
wealth and power,
A monopolist isn’t necessarily a mil
lionaire. Hu is simply tlio mnn who
holds the whip-handle. It is derived
from two Lntin words—mono and pole,
meaning tho man at tho pole. And
the man at the pole, you know, knocks
tho persimmons. He inuy knock n
million of them or ho may knock only
two; but while be is knocking you don't
get any.
Hence, my son, a monopoly iB a pros
perous combination of which wo are not
one.
This makes it very wicked, avarioious,
and dangerous.
When wo get into it, it ceases to bo a
monopoly aud becomos a union, a broth
erhood, a firm, an association, or a cor
poration. This change of title ulao in
volves a great moral change, and it be
comes a mighty engine of progress, u
developer of our country's resources, a
factor in the national prosperity, and all
that sort of thing.
A monopoly is a thing which it is hard
to get into. \
Thero is no monopolist so greedy unit
dangerous as the Nihilist. The ordinary
mouoplist is content to control one
thing. Tho Nihilist wonts everything,
nnd n three-fifths Bharo of what is left.
If you live to be thirty-five years old,
aud have not beou able to get into any
other monopoly by that timo, I would
advise you to go to tho North Polo and
start an iee-croam saloon,
An Ingenious Head.
A sad looking tramp, clad iu the airy
garments of tho deceased summer,
boarded a Hixtli avenue car at Canal
Htroot and West Broadway yesterday.
In his eye could be detected a stern re
solve to die before he would work. In
tho palm of his delicate hand, unstained
by manual labor, lio held four cents.
"Will somebody please givo mo another
cent so I can got down down?" he
asked. Homebody gave it. Then the
heartless minion of the soulless corpora
tion came forward to take tho poor man’s
all.
"Does thiH oar run to Tenth avenue
and Thirteenth street ?” asked the
tramp.
"No,” said the minion, "it does not."
"Oh,” ejaculated the tramp, and tho
minion rang the bell to let him get off.
Close behind was an Eighth avenue ear,
and this tho tramp boarded. Four cents
lay in his hand and a sympathetic pas
senger gnvo him another. ."Does this
car run to Dry Dock ?" he humbly
asked. "No,” growled tho conductor,
“it don’t run to no dry dock. The dry
dock your’ro looking for is a swoet spot
out in tho East River, and it’s called tho
Island Get off.” And the tramp got
off, aud in the hurrying crowd of the
busy street counted up seventeen cents
as the products of his industry, and
boarded a Broadway car in search of
Oyster Bay.—New York Times,
"Yes,” remarked Fitznoodle, "I used
to tako my dog out when I started on a
promenade; but I don’t do it now. It
wasn’t pleasant, you know, to have peo
ple inquire which was Fitznoodle and
which was the dog." It is the opinion
of Fitznoodle’s friends that it must have
been fully as distasteful to the dog as it
was to Fitznoodle.
