BULL RAcE.-Iii'fhe boys of Kentucky seem to have some curious notions ot racing, for not content with running horses, they have announced in the Louisville pa pers race to take place this day, between three Bulls. The advertisement states that < the lovers of sport will be amused with iit,1 the novelty ef race which will be run between MT. Bremaker's trained Bull Hickory, MT. McGruder's trained Bull van Buren; MT. Underwood enters his framed Bull Henry Clay.
 The above named animals will be mount ed by riders we'll equipped, and pay twenty five dollars each, entrance.
 The afternoons sport will close with a Bull bait
 This IS not the first time that Jackson Van Buren, and Clay have run together but hitherto their racing has been conduct ed by political partisans; and though there may have been equal ioeis5 '''e believe tb,s is the first time of bringing them to the post, or mounting them with "riders well equipped" t-N.

Spoage.--Many of our young readers, we presume, are not aware that the sponge which they use in performing their morn ing abiutions, is but the skeleton of what was once a living animal. Young misses in particular would shudder at the idea of rubbing their fair foreheads anirosy cheeks with skeleton. But ii is even so. The sponge belongs te the lowest oider of beings in the animal kingdom. 1t consists of a fibrous mass, containing a ielly-lil1e sub- stance, which, when touched, discovers d slight sensation, the only sign of life mani fested. When the sponge IS living, the large apertures in it serve to carry ont fluids from within while the water by which the animals is nourished, IS imbibed by minute pores. This continued circulation of wa ter is one of the most important functions of the living sponge. If part of these animals is separated from the rest, 1t will itself be as perfect living as was the whole before. There are many species of sponge; the nest valued in the acts found in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. They grow upon rocks and the bottom of the sea"

Doc CHEAT !-The Nantucket Inquirer, in alluding to the low price at which news papers are now published, and the disposi-
 ton that IS manifested by many to cheapea or undersell. remarks with great justice - ss It is this, which has rendered the publish ing trade unprofitable to thousands of op- eratives, and ruinous to many professional adventures. Such being the result Tn nu merous cases, the craft itself has in some degree become discreditable, or dlsreputa- bic. II is this disposition. in short, which keeps the iourneymen printer poor, and the editors nose at the grlndstone forever.- The bare paper, as 1t comes from the mill, which goes to furnish a patron with upwards of 300 printed sheets per annum tor four dollars, cost, at least two thirds of that sum. What then is left for the poor workingman,s wages. but the merest plttance- what for the publisher, or editor, but his labor for his pains Nearly one fourth of the ag- gregate amount of newspaper subscriptions, throughout the United States, we have no doubt is never paid, and the proprlefors are consequently cheated out of nearly all up- on which they fallaciously depend for sub- sistence. The fault is in some measure at tributabIe to that spirit of cheapenIng, false- ly called competition, which is not only de- structive 10 those who engage in 1t, but high W injurious to others. It is time that prin- ters and publishers of this country took this subject into serious consideration"

 ss ,. al came n contact with so many remarka- be persons from all the countries of the ssoFld as lafayette. With lis extensive correspondence, he must have left q greater number of letters, which were addressed to him during the revolutions, by persons of all ranks, and no deubt their publication would be attended with many strange dis closures. Ii appears. that the family have been apprehensive lest their letters should be wrested trem them on some pretext or other. for it has frequently happened, that on the decease of influential statesmen, theu papers. and especially letters, have been arbitrarily seized, upon ptetence that they belonged to the state. A considera- ble collection of letters, written by the diff ferent soyereiens of Europe to Napoleon, during the period of his highest power, were made away with in different man. ner. Unluckily they got into private hands, and speculator sold them to foreign am- =bassador in London, who in his own name or that of his master, sent back 10 the po- tenates by whom the letters were written, those evidences of their former cfinging submission, and thereby caused them most agreeable surprise. Those important documents are now probably all destroyed and lost to posterity. Though the docu- ments left by Lafayette may not possess equal importance, they may nevertheless serve to shame many individuals but this Is not the principal reason why their publi- cation IS desirable They cannot but filrn-s ish information respecting the events of later times and make US better acquainted with the character of many celebrated per- -sons. Ii is probable, vt understand, that they will soon appear, and as the press is free, and the family of the General inde- pendent, there is no cause to apprehend any thing material will be suppressed.

.Mrs. TroIlopc oui- TroHoped.-A series of papers has lately appeared in Germany, entitled !" Sketches of Society in the Uni ted States of North America,' purporting to be written by German Lady, after four years of observation, ending with 1885, As a specimen of the whole, we give the following account of the first breakfast ta- ken by the writer in the United States. It was at one of the Hotels in New York; .Nashutle Rep.
 sWe went down to the breakfast room. where we found the long table covered with variety of hot and cold meats, and fish, and surrounded by about thirty guests.- Each helped himself to what stood before him. One began with salad, then eggs, then he took slice of roast beef, washing it down with coffee, and following that up with cold fish; while his neighbor reversed the order. Before we could recover from the astonishment, every thing in the shape of eatables was consumed. So much tho more was surprised to hear calls from all sides for forks, the use of which could not divine, as l had already seen that the American has no need of them for eating, but uses his knife alone with wonderful dex- ;eriy. A waiter brought several plates full of forks, and set them in the middle of the table. The gentlemen--what signifcation these genuine republicans attach to this term, really do not know--immediaiely fell upon the forks; each secured one, and repaired to some part of the room where he could support his feet against the wall. Some even put their legs upon the table, and iri ihis posture began at their ease,to pick theirteeth and pare their nails. When this operation was finished, each drew from his waistcoat pocket bit of tobacco pre- pared for chewing, showed 1t with his finger high up between the cheek, and hurried away C business.
