In Ortigi Oa, oonMpondent of the K«w fork Sun, in » akotoh of GKvld- ■mith Maid, aaja that Docker, her oner, on! j desired to nuke a first claw fate hone of tho beast, Ml the end of the half-day’s plowing she lay down in the farrow, kicked her self loose from the plow, and ran away. She got to be known in the neighborhood as *'Decker's worthless •olt." There was one thing she would do and took great delight in. That was Joining in the running rases that were then the popular sport in Sussex county. TBut her owner never knew when she was entered for these races, and had no suspicion that she was being used in that way. /3he was always taken snr- reptitioualy from tho field, and seemed to have a premonition of wlmt she wns wanted for. The races that she ran in always came off on moonlight nights, and she best all the crack runners in the country. As worthless as she was, John B. Docker loved tho mare, and would have housed her like a queen if she bad been willing. At the ago of 7 she was tho snmo "worthless Decker colt." Who hgd not pnt her head through a collar in four years. This was in 1804, and John H. Decker, who had loft his uncle’s before the colt was born, had never seen her, having removed to Newburgh. • In that year he and ’Sqnire Bingham of New burgh wore driving throngh the country buying np turkeys for simulation. It wos in November that they brought np at Uncle Johnny B.’s farm, which is throe miles from Dookertowu. John H. Decker saw the mare, -and saw at once that she had points alnmt her that few hones had, and ho wtmtod to bny her. He offered $2. r >0 for her, but his uncle emphatically refused. Then John B.’s wife took a hand in. She had long been disgusted with tho mare, as she had "eaten her head off” a boom of timM. She snid to her husband that, as the wonld-be purchaser wns his namesske and a near relative, he. onght to sell him the more. "Give him $260,” said she, "and he’ll take it.;* So the nephew "made it $260,” and the uncle finally said that if ho wonld catch the maro alone ho could have her for $260. The condition was accepted, and, after more than an hour’s persist ent effort, the younger Decker suc ceeded in getting the mare in tho barn. Then the elder Decker wanted to hack out He offered his nephew a blooded black maro that he had refused $600 for if he wonld leave the wild mare. John H. refused to make the exchange. At the time of this transaction John H. Decker’s parents lived three miles from Goshen, near the village of Den ton. Bingham and Decker drove away from Johnny B.’s with the mare tied behind their wagon. They stopped at Decker's father’s for the night, and it was noised abont the village in a short timfe that John Dooker had paid $260 for the well-known "worthless oolt.” William Tompkins was then keeping the Talmnge House at Hampton, a mile from DenfdnT He had long had his eye on the Decker mare, but had never bee* 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 bad a great horror of fast horses. His father also was disinclined toward sporting matters. Mrs. Decker gathered from the talk of the men that they anticipated great things of the new more os a trotter. When Tompkins ar rived one morning Decker and^Squire j 13 Bingham were abont ready to start on their way. A hired man was showing off tho mare in the lane, and Mrs. Decker was a sorrowful spectator, remarking that feki was sue ruin wonld follow her son if he owned a fast hone, and she knew he had just refused to acoept an offer from ’Squire Bingham of $130 for a oue- half interest in her. In relating the circnmntanoes to the writer, he said that he really intended tho maro for his brother-in-law, Judge William Puller- ton. Tompkins looked at tho more a minute or two, and then bluntly said that he would give $1150 for her. On hearing this Mrs. Docker 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 more at any price, and his father added his voice to hers. At last, his parents seeming so much in earnest, and exhibiting so mnch feeling in tho matter, Decker accepted Tompkins’scffer, and he drew a check for I860. While this was being done Decker was looking the mare over, and repented selling her. He made pretence of not flaring to take Bill's cheek 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 wonld go now, handed it to his son. There was no ex- euae for further opposition, and Tomp kins drove off with the Decker mare. John H. Decker and Bingham started torGoshAd, but the more the former thought of what he had done the more I he regretted it, and he said he was " bound to get the mare beok if he oould. Beaching Goafaen he telegraphed to the offtfll of the Middletown Bank asking V Tbmpkfna’ cheek was good for $360. The answer came back that it was good for only $800. Decker then declared that he would go «o Hampton and deliver •P the check and recover the mate. BefefO ho oould get away, however, a tdym oamo from the bank that the flheek kmt %mb made good, and the mam was lost to him forever. ’ JJdsu Goldsmith would never have but for John H. Tompkins had her still in the smith on an Erie Bail way train, and told him that if he wanted to get the best piece of home flesh there was In' the county he would tell him, for one hun dred dollars, where she stood. Gold smith mid all right Decker told him of the Decker mare. Goldsmith, rfl- 1 plied that be had seen her, and that she waa "no good.” He did not know her pedigree at that time, and Decker told him what it was. Then Goldsmith be came interested, and succeed in buying the mare for six hundred dollara. The popntar story that an old wagon was part of the consideration U not strictly true. Bill Bodine, who waa the mare’s trainer, and by whop skill and patience she was made what she became, told the writ* r that Goldsmith had been promis ing Tompkins a wagon for some time, and when the latter delivered the mare to its new owner he saw a second-hand wagon that suited him standing in Gold smith’s shed. Tompkins reminded Goldsmith of his promise, and asked him for the wagon, as ho oonld take it right along with him then. Goldsmith looked at the wagon a while, and then said: "All right; take it along. I’ll have to send it to the blacksmith shop, anyhow, before long.” And Tompkius took the wagon. By the fall of 1865 Bill Bodine had conquered the mare, and that same rea son ho entered her for her first public trotting match. The trot was to be on the Middletown track, with a horse from Port Jervis known as Lady Brown. Tho purse was five hundred dollars, wi< h a forfeit of fifty dollars. The race did not comfc off, lor Mr. Goldsmith entered her for k trot with the then famons horse General Waiker, on tho Goshen back, and tho date was tho same' as the Mid dletown entry. Bodine paid tho fifty dollars forfeit, and tho mare won tho race in three straight heats, making a -record of 2:26. Iter next important raoo was the great trot on the Middle- town track with Dexter, when shoWas beaten by Unit then King of tho Turf. THE ILL-FATED MANISTEE. Thrllllna Hlorlr* at Nuffprlngi on the l.ak* ... br a HarWyar. Mr. Carlston, orDuTuTh, Minn., received a letter from a friend who waa a passenger on the ill-fated Manistee, of which the following is a ayuojwis: "When the boat wont amt,” the letter goes on to state, "they enconutered a very heavy gale from the southwest, and when about twenty miles out the boat wns put alKMit, but could not make it, and broke in two.

They had a terrible time, for after the steamer went down there was nothing hut a wide expanse o£ water before them. They rolled around on the tnrbnlent waters—cold, wet and hungry—for three days, and one by pne dropped off, death having oome to their relief. Home of them were frozen to death; some died ..... -at the kiuduess showu him. from sheer exhaustion and exposure hr _ ——— the wind. They say that Captain McKay never left the steamer, but wrapped him self up in his heavy overcoat and re marked : "I wall never leave the boat nntil the last soul is off. I am captain of this boat, and if she is to be a coffin for any body she will be my coffin. ” After the men left the boat they say tho Manistee made one plunge under the waves and that was the last of her. They also report that when they left her tho crew and ten passengers were on board. Out of those who started in the boat only three were saved and reached Houghton. They say the wreck occurred off Eagle Hiurlior, and that there was no possible banco of saving her under any circum stances. They add that at the l<fet, when everytrody knew there was no hope of saving her, Captain McKay gave his orders just as coolly and col lectedly as if he was on land. An Ingenious Head. A sad looking tramp,' clad in the airy garments of the deceased summer, hoarded a Sixth avenue car at Canal street and West Broadway yesterday. In his eye could be detected a stern re solve to die Indore he would work. In tho palm of his delicate hand, unstained by manual labor, ho held four cents. "Will somebody pleasc’givo me another cent so I can get down down ?” he asked. Somebody gave it. Then the heartless minien of the soulless corpora tion oamo forward to take the poor man’s all. "Does this oar run to Tenth avenne and Thirteenth street ?” asked the tramp. "No,” said the minion, "it does not.” "Oh,” ejaculated the tramp, and the minion rang the bell to let him get oft Close behind was an Eighth avenue oar, and this the tramp boaned. Four cents lay in his band and a mpathetie pas senger gave him another. "Does this ear run to Dry Dock?” he humbly asked. "No,” growled the conductor, "it don’t run to no dry dock. The dry dock yonr’re looking for ia a sweet spot ont in the East River, and it’s called the Island Get off.” And the tramp got off, and in the hurrying crowd of the busy street counted up seventeen cents as the products of his industry, and boarded a Broadway oar in search of Oyster Bay.—jVte York Times.

The, building is located on Lawrence street, pear Tenth avenue, Manhattan- villei~and formerly belonged to Engine 87, which moved into a neAr and larger building aoroas the street abont two yean ago. j "Ton see,” he continued, "the differ ent companies were subjected to great annoyance by reasrti of green horsee be ing sent to them fo break in. It was al-' most an impossibility for them to do it properly and consequently they were often late in responding to alarms. The green horses oould not be harnessed to the engine or tender qniokly enough. In fact it was one of the greatest difficult ties the Fire Department had to contend against. It often happened that after a horse wss broken in so that he wonld answer an alarm, it was discovered that he was not fit in other ways for the uses of the Department Something wonld be the matter with his wind or he would have one of the thousand ills that horse flesh is heir to.” "How long has this place been estab lished ?” inquired the reporter. "A little over a year,” was the reply. "The Commissioners received so many complaints that they felt obliged to So something. They concluded the old system was radically wrong and a change was necessary. After consider ing several plans they hit upon this one. The building wits vacant, and they detailed three men from Engine 37 to superintend- the training of tho horses.” "Where do yen get your horses?” "Superintendent Shea buys them at Bull’s Head and sends them here for trial. We keep them fifteen days, and if we find that they are sound in every way and folly up to the requisite of ths Department, we break them in for some ' company. ” "And if not up to the standard ?” "We send them back, and others are sent in their place. Sometimes a horse will be sound in every way, but ho will lie too stupid for as. We can’t do any thing with a stupid horse. I've had horses here for a mouth, and at the'end of that time they would not walk ont of the stable when the gong sounded, although I had practiced with them a hundred times a day during the whole month. Other horses, however, wonld walk right ont after the second or third day. Horses, I tell you, are a good deal like human beings in that portion- r,” and the speaker patted one of the [ones affectionately on the neck. The horse Appeared to be fully appreciative I Tic The interior of the training station is arranged like tho ordinary engine house and is fitted up with all the latest appa ratus. In the centre, near the door, is a large Babcock Fire Extinguisher, with a pole for two horses, which is used in place of an engine and answers all pur poses. Directly behind it is a single Baboook, which is used as a tender to an engine. On either side of tho larger ex tinguisher is a stall in which the two horses ore kept while in training, and on the right of the smaller extinguisher the "tender** horse is fastened. While Mr. Healy was explaining tho workings to a reporter, Foreman Murphy and his other assistant returned from dinner. "How many horses do you keep here at a time ?" was asked. "We always have seven, three of which we are breaking in and four which you see iu the rear of the building. These latter horses are now ready for work and will be sent to diflerent com panies within a few days. You under stand that when the horses come here they are perfectly green. We get, os I said before, three at a time, which we place in these stalls near the engine and and tender. Then wo ring the gong which you see hero. That unfastens the strap attached to the halter. But the horse docs not move. He stands still and looks around in surprise. Then we lead the horse np to tho engine and fasten the collar on him. Well, we keep repeating this constantly until the horse comes to know that we want him to take his place at the engine when the alarm sounds. This takes time and patience, but we bring them around finally.” „ "How long doe's it take to bring a horse to that point of intelligence when he will answer tho alarm promptly?” "About two weeks. At tho end of that’ time, as soon as the alarm sounds, he will run out of the stall, take his proper place and appear to lie anxioqp to be off Then he is ready for the Department, and we have no further use for him.” "Is there mnch demand for your horses in the Department?” "Tee, indeed. Some company i* in want of a horse all the time, and we are kept constantly at work in order to aapply the demimd.” • "How many do vou break in in a year?” It _"Well, last year we brokecU) abont 100 hones. But the Department ia in better condition now than it ever was in re spect to homes, and I don’t think we’U have so many this year.” "How are these hones; are they broke in yet?” "Not .these three here” [pointing to those in the fropt of the boose], "They arc a little green yet, but they are doing as well aa ean be expected. But I will show you ao you may jndge for yoor- self.” ^ Then going over'to the wall ha polled in an alana, which, however, doea not work ontaide of that particular building.

The horses catae to their places in a little better order, the collars were fastened, the harness dropped from the ceiling when, the driver pul .ed a cord to which it was attached, and was qniokly arranged. The tender horse was hitched in like manner and at the same time. The doors were thrown open and engine and tender went at a breakneck pace in the dircotion of Tenth avenue, leaving the reporter to wonder why he was alone.

Liquor Dealers is Trouble. A meeting of New York liquor dealers wns held to effect an orgonizatiou to as sist them in securing a more lenient ex cise law. John Cavanagh was elected president Mr. Cavanagh stated at length his views on the subject and the course that should be taken by the deal ers. He claimed that each liquor dealer in the city controlled from five to ten votes, and if the dealers wanted to pnt a stop to the police raids they must unite their patronage and support. "If the 11,000 licensed liquor dealers in this city, controlling, as we do, 100,- 000 voles, would work together for the election of a Mayor and a District Attorney,” said Mr. Cavanagh, "there isn’t money enough in New York to de feat any big brewer, if we should nomi nate him for Mayor. I don’t care what the party is we join or whether we start one of. our own. I’ll vote for any man if he will say he is in favor of a fair ex cise law.” Mr. Cavanagh then went on to say that the licensed dealers ought to lie considered as honorable as other merchants, but the public Wjmltj not discriminate between them and the un licensed dealers who encourage vice. "This ring under which we suffer origi nated at Police Headquarters,” said he, "and has gradually worked down to the District Attorney’s office.” A committee was appointed to perfect the organization and secore the co-opera tion of the dealers in tho other wards. Mr. Corragin thought that by closing the saloons on Sunday while those in Brooklyn, Jersey City and the Tnbnrlie were’ kept open, the bread and batter were being taken from his month. He was in favor of closing during church hours, but keeping open for a stipulated time daring the day. Mr. Piper wished nb action taken on that subject "We don’t wish to advertise ourselves as law breakers,” said'ire;-"though everybody knows we are. For there is probably not an hour in the. day that we don’t violate the law. The law says we shall not sell liquor to children. Yet I am afraid some of ns do.” The meeting then adjourned. , , ■ ' - - Notable Falls. — Writing to the Baltimore Sun, from Sydney, N. S. W., a traveler says: "I have never seen anything in America that compared with Wentworth Falls in the combination of both beauty and grandeur. At first the water leaps a dis tance of 700 feet, as thongh falling over the back to the seat of a great armchair cut ont of the face of the mountain by some giant of nature. Falling in spray, 4t gathers itself for another run and leap, the second time falling over 800 feet into the great gorge below. The fall is so far and the foliage so dense at the foot, that the eye fails to see the second gathering-place of the clouds of spray glittering in the sunlight 1,500 feet be- dovri' The valley below the falls spreads ,ont^into a great amphitheatre fifty miles across, and hemmed in on every side but one, with the perpendicular walls of the mountain. No human foot has ever been known to tread this valley, as it cannot be reached from below, by reason of a second precipice over which the same stream falls, and to go down from above would be a perilous undertaking.” The Waste Basket.
