Y., Rarue, driven by John Splan, made the best time on recold, trotting a mile in 2:131. The Buffalo Courier of Sunday in speaking of the great event, says: '"It was a great day for Buffalo and for the trotting world, that afternoon in August 1867, eleven years ago, when Dexter trotted a mile in harness in 2:17J, eclipsing 2:19f of Flora Temple, which for eight years had stood at the head of the reqord, and the only per­ formance by a trotter in harness better than 2:20. The enthusiasm aroused by that feat of Dexter is well remembered ard throughout the collntry it was a nine days' wonder. Those' who pre­ dicted that it would ever be beaten were regarded In many quarters as vis- ionar3v.and, it did remain tmpqualed until 1873, when Goldsmith Maid at Milwaukee, Wis^ trotted a heat in 2:17. From that time until yesterday the gallant little Maid* has been the Queen of the Turf, several times surpassing herself, but never, since passed, as a matter of record, by another, until in September, i^W^at Mystic Park, Bos­ ton, Mas-., she trotted a heat; against time in 2:14. Those figures have head­ ed the list of trotting performances evel* since, until yesterday. In the mean time, however, no less than sev en horses, Rarus, Lula, Hopeful, Lu­ cille Goldust, American -.Girl, Occident and Gloster; had surpassed the time of Dexter, but the 2:14 of Goldsmith Maid remained a shining mark Viiiich none could attain. Until Saturday, we, repeat* for now the Buffalo track again enjoys the glory of being the are upon which the American trot horse, in his never-ceasing conflict with time, has achieved his most bril­ liant victory. The king of the tu^rf, Rarus, whose fame was eclipsed only by that of the retired Queen, has at last plucked from her tiara the one jewel which made its luster brighter than that of the crown he wore, and henceforward he is the absolute mon­ arch. It may seem strange to people not interested in such matters, thj^t such vast importance should be attach­ ed to a horse trotting a mile by a Trac­ tion of a second faster than it has ever been done before, but they do not re­ alize how vast an interest the breed­ ing of horses is, how deeply seat< d in the breasts of most men is love for the horse, or that these trials of speed are the ultimate test of tfie perfection to which the trotter can be brought.-- When the top rate of speed is reached or approached, every minute fraction of time becomes of consequence But we need not expiate on this theme.-- Saturday night this City was absorbed in one theme of conversation, the fact that Rarus had eclipsed the time ol Goldsmith Maid, and trotted a mile on the Buffalo track in 2:13}. and not only was this true in Buffalo, but the news has already been flashed to the civil­ ized world.*' Rarus is owned by R.

According to the latest official re­ ports the total number ot deceased Union soldiers during and in conse­ quence of the war is put at 316.238. Of these only 175,794, or something over onehalfjiave been identified and the rest >vill probablj' be forever unknown'. Of the grand total 36,868 are known to have been prisoners of war, who died in captivity. Of rebel prisoners of war, the remains of 21,336 have been nterred. The statistics of losses on that side are far less complete than on the Union side, There are seventy-two national cemeteries for the Union dead besides 320 local and post cemeteries.-- The largest of these are< at Arlington, Va,, the former hontestead of Gen. Robert E. Lee, with 16,547 graves; Fredericksburgh, VaM with 15,300 graves; Salisbury, N. C., with 12,il2 graves; Beaufort, S. C., with 10.000 graves, Andersonville, Ga., 13,706 graves; Mvrietta, Ga., 10,000 graves; New Orleans, La., 12,230 graves; Vicks- burg,Miss., 17,012 graves; Chattanooga, Tenti.. 12,964 graves; Nashville, Tenn., 16,529 graves; Memphis, Tenn., 13,958 graves j Jefferson Barracks, Mo., 8,601 graves. The National Cemetery, near Richmond. Va., has 6,276 graves, of which 5,450 are of unknown dead, mostly of prisoners. The cemeteries are generally reported in goad condi­ tion, well sodded and planted with ornamental trees. #6^The formidable difficulties which loomed up before him, aud the many snares which beset his feet when Mark Twain endeavored to collect a claim for furnishing a barrel of beef to the armv, although purely imaginative aud highly ludicrous, arc pretty faithfully photographed by positive facts in the case of Mr. Birkett, of Oregon. This gentleman had a claim against the gov­ ernment which he had become weary of conveying from one Department to another; getting it inspected by this officer and countersigned by that as sistant, aud submitting it to divers chief clerks until lie Anally despaired of ever collecting it, although it was perfectly valid and straight as a j'ard stick. lie at last was approached by an individual who claimed that he rep­ resented a certain clerk in the Treas­ ury Department, and that, if 92.600 were paid to this clerk, the claimant would get his money In short order.-- Mr. Birkett repellel the proposition, even when the represenative reduced the amount, to $1,000, and it t« to be hoped that the cast*, which is said to be only one of many suehj will be thor­ oughly investigated.

On Monday, July 29th, wheat was standing on 2,300 acres of one of these farms and to-day it will be in the shocks, 15 harvesters doing the work. To-morrow the thresh­ ers will be at work, and soon 200,000 bushels of No. 1 wheat will be in the sacks, ready for the market. The Cass farm lias 4.000 acres in wheat, the Cheney farm 2.300, and the Dalrymple 1,700 more, making a total of 8.000 acres handled by this prince of farmers Oliver Dialrymple, The most moderate estimates of the best judges admit twenty bushels to the acre sure; some persons claim that it will run twenty- five; Dalrymple claims twenty-five bushels per acre, mostly No. 1 wheat. After having left the field the guests visited the farm house on the Cheney farm and were gracefully entertained by Mrs. O. L. Dalrymple, who served an exquisite lunch. As the guests left three rousing cheers were given for the Cass and Cheney farms. From here a call.was made at the house of Mr. Sheldon Dalrymple, whete sucoess to the missionary of the arid desert was drank iii cool claret punch. It was learned that there were 350 men em­ ployed on the farms, most of them^be- *ing men who had come into the ooun- try and broken land of their own by the $2.50 per day they receive during ing harvest. They get through the whiter and next year they will have1 a crop of their own. There are 150 hor­ ses and mules, 50 harvesters,six thresh­ ers, $ix steam engines, and innumera­ ble other tools. It is estimated that a crop of 200,000 bushels of wheat costs $80^000 to get. The bml«Mtiaga, of which there are »ix sets, are still substantial, but the barns and storehouses are bet­ ter than the farm houses, which is* evi­ dence of good farming so they say. JKS"From the Binghampton Times: "A colored tramp, who was hanging about the depot a day or two since, was observed to disappear round the corner whenever a passenger train drew up, reappearing only when it departed.-- It looked suspicious, and a special po­ lice pounced down upon him as he re- tun^d^&Qro oae > of these seml-occa- «slonal cxcurfilonR, nnd demanded what he was "up to." "Are you keeping shjtdy from a constable? Or don't you want to go till a freight train comes along?"' he asked. The wanderer pro- ceeded to elucidate: "Yer see, boss,' he said, taking a reef In his trowsers wristband. "I hain't had nuffin to eat worth menshunln since las' night; and ebry time dat de cars pulls in de boy at de hotel ober dar by the pavily^rum he trots out and beats de gong for din­ ner, and I tells you, boss, it makes me feel jus' like 1 was going to cave in, an' I can't stan' the pressure, nohow." He let him go. fiQfThe Secretary of the Interior has made a decision which will tend great­ ly to develop the vast unoccupied ter­ ritory along the lines of our western railroads. The law decrees that all lands granted to railroads that remain unsold three years after the comple­ tion of the road shall be open to entry to actual settlers at $1.25 per acre.-- The railroads haye resisted the plain meaning of the law and held on to their lands for a higher price. Secre tary Schurz, after carefully consider­ ing the question, deoides that the law must be enforced, a decision gratify­ ing to multitudes who will be the pioneers ot new settlements aloug the great routes of western travel, ftjaS-Tlie pitcher of nearly every base ball club has his own peculiar charac­ teristic. but Rowe, the pitcher of the Red Stockings, of Peoria, has the most peculiar of any we have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

ELGIN, III., Aug. 10th.--Since the call of the Republican Congressional Convention to meet here on Sept. 6th, the two candidates for nomination have developed considerable activity in cauvasslng the ground. Latlirop seems to have nothing to trade upon, even if he desired to do so. and he seems to rely wholly upon his own per­ sonal exertions. The people aud es­ pecial ljr the ring politicians display none of the enthusiasm for civll-ser- vlce reform that characterized them two years ago, and it is believed that our Congressman has carried out his platform too rigidly to meet this ap­ probation of those who believe in ro­ tation in office. be and Gen. Hurlbut are vl^ifl*^ the principal towns and cities to secure the prima­ ries. The Gen. is fuliy committed to the candidacy, and is being announced ia the local press. No money is being used; which is a decided innovation upon all former campaigns Irom the time of Long John's supremacyT when the whole northern portion of the state was one Congressional district.-- In Farnsworth's day the patronage of our Congressman amounted to $100,000; that is this amount represented the aggregate salaries of the three-score- and-ten postmasters and an equal num­ ber of mrfil dTvetrae officers, and W«<*hlngton «lerkf>, etC., who would • p r o - i t * . ^ - a u s s m e u t s ; - a u d ; in those csmp*fgn«. were bnomr ing, aud lur^e ':uns. were , dMdbnted far political purposes..» Hurlbut see ras tolerably certain of McHenry county, 9 delegates; Boone county, 5; total, 14.
