Ox Raca That la Run Undar Paeuliar Conditions. A race that in a peculiar sense ia j not to the swift is one that is run, ; if the word may be used in such a connection, every year in the provincial districts of Germany. Early in May during the celebration of a festival that to a certain extent corresponds to the English May day an ox race is held. The entrance fee is small, but the conditions are peculiar. Each ox must be ridden by its owner and ridden bareback. No whip, spur, yoke, harness or any means of guiding the animal is allowed. The rider must depend entirely upon his voice to accomplish the end he has in view, and as the oxen do not race on a track, but across a large open field, the training of the animals and the skill of the rider are severely tested. Speed is a secondary consideration in this race, for the rider who can induce his steed to go in a straight line is sure to win. The start is made at one side of a field a mile square, the finisAit the opposite side. m When the competitors arSlined up and the signal is given tny fun begins. Despite the efforts of the riders the majority of the oxen refuse to head toward the opposite mark, and as spectators are allowed in the field and are at liberty to do anything they wish to interfere with the rider except touch him or his mount the difficulties of the race are not inconsiderable. As is well known, oxen are not as a rule excitable beasts. But when they are confronted by the shouts of the spectators and the general hullabaloo that always ensues at such affairs as well as the exciting efforts of the Aiders to contrbl them they are soon reduced to a state of complete bewilderment. It often 'happens that an hour has passed before one of the oxen has succeed* ed in gettirig "under the wire." Bu? when once the task is /mcomplished the winning rider is fully repaid for his pains. His ox is surrounded by the enthusiastio spectators and decorated with garlands and flowers, and the lucky owner receivoe a cash prize.?Pittsburg Post. Lady of the Lamb. In a certain Oxfordshire Tillage there was formerly on the Monday after Whits an a custom of providing a fat lire lamb to be competed for by the maidens of the parish, the conditions being that each lass shoul4 have her thumbs tied securely and should run after the lamb with open month. ?he jho succeeded in catching boll of and retaining the jamb by meant of her teetK "Val declared the winner. After baring been dressed with the skin on the animal was then slung on a long pole and was carried in front of the successful candidate to the rillage green, where music and dancing were the order of tha day. The following day a third of it was baked, a third boiled and the remainder roasted and distributed among the lady's companions, who sat at table with her, she being designated Lady of the Lamb.? Modern Society. Pslitisal Platforms. No political party held a national convention prior to 1831 or adopted a platform of principles prior to 1832. Before these dates nominations were made by congressional caucuses and by the several legislatures. The anti-Masonic party was the first to hold ft national convention. This was convened in Baltimore on Sept. 26, 1831. It named William Wirt for president, but adopted no platform. This example was followed by the Whigs, who met in December of the same year and put Henry Clay in nomination, but framed no declaration of principles. It was not until the Democratic party met in convention, also in Baltimore, on March 22, 1832, that the modern custom of stating the issues of the campaign was inaugurated. ftorvoe a Good Purpooo.

Kansas City Independent. m CLERK Of DISPENSARY BOARD Hakes Gaastic Reply to Portions of Grand Jury PreseolBeot. Editor Count* Recorb:?Permit me, dear sir, through the columns of your valuable medium to make known to the people of our county aud S'ate that the presentment of the graud jury made at the recent term of court is the result of incompetency. Inasmuch as the? hare made a report to the effect that foe reasons of the style and mauner of book-keeping they were unable to ascertain the exact ooudition of the several dispensaries iu our county, this ia due to the fact that the expert accountant employed by the grand jury and the committee of in* | vestigation were not competent to | understand the commou sense sys tem of book-keeping that is required by the State dispensary auditor. We beg to state that the books of the county dispensary board will show upon proper investigation the minute details of the business, giving an actuate account of the smallest and largest items of business as trantjacted by tbe board. Therefore it is not rational to suppose that any human being can ascertain tbe condition of such a business in the small space of two hours, or can make an acurate account of the transactions of such a business by a general statement when so many small items are of the greatest importance and consideration. We also beg to state that tbe books of the Williamsburg county dispensary board have been twice checked by tbe State dispensary auditor and found in perfect condition. .Our quarterly statement as published in this paper last week is an acurate, simple and compact compi- . lation of the accounts of the several dispensaries, respectively, as taken from the books in the office of the Williamsburg county dispensary board, which statement shows a disbursement of net profits in excess of the gross profits as calculated by the expert accountant of the grand jnrj for the entire time of the Oounty dispensary since its beginning, April the 18tb, to September the 1st This report does not give the small details of the business as a matter of economv in publication; bat it is h very simple summary of the detail! of the basinets and( can be easily understood by the most ignorant of mankind. This report has received the sanction and approval of the State dispensary auditor with per* feet and entire satisfaction. The books of tha Williamsburg county dispensary board are open to public inspection to whomsoever they may concern and it will give me pleasure to demonstrate to any one who may so desire the common sense style of book-keeping as i! .1 ! 1 > mereiu euipiujrcu.
