Metairie Course-Second Day.

The race at this Course yesterday, was for purse
of $780, three-mile heats, for which there We're
three entries: Rough and Ready Jim Along 10
seq, and Chdrmer-the latter being the favorite
against the field at 500 to $40.
The track was very heavy and the attendance
very slim-!Mle sport was anticipated none
was obtained.
After couple of false starts, they got at all easy
gallop, which lasted for mile and half, when the
filly went ahead and opened gap too wide for her
competitors to close and on entering the third
mile the thing grew worse, and the flly came home
easy winner in 6:234-distancing both the other
horses almost doubly.

Death of Mr.. Astor of New York

At very advanced age this well known person
age has al length left that earth on which lie had
such large possessions. The rich man also
died. Ii were Il trite moral to draw-to 90 over
the oft-said maxms about tes vanity of wealth,
and its inability TO wrestle with death and we for
bear Wealth is good enough; but unfortunately
people do MT one quarter of the time enjoy it, after
it comes to them.
For some years past, Mr.. Astor has been living
in two story brick house in Broadway, New
York opposite the old site of Nbos Garden. The
laconc door-plate, "Mr. Astor,' informed persons
of the name of the occupant Somehow, this
dwelling always had a cold, cherries, naked, and
uninviting appearance there We're no shutters to
the prodigous windows, nor were pleasant faces
ever seen at the panes-nor was the warm aspect
of family comforts and endearments known there.
Ugh the house gave something OF a chill,
when passing it, even in summer.
We remember seeing Mr. A. two winters since.
when going down Broadway by this house. A
couple of servants were assisting him across the
pavement to a sleigh which was drawn up by the
curb-stone. The old gentleman's head seemed
bent completely down with age and sickness; he
muffied in ftlrs, and entirely unable to help
himself The very groom, hearty young Irish
man, with perhaps not two dollars in his pocket
looked with pity upon the great millionaire Ger
talnly no man, of the crowds that hurried along
that busy promenade, would have accepted the
rich capitalists wealth, tied TO the condition of
being : in his shoes
Some curiosity has long been felt at the NORTH to
kno" the disposition of Mr.. A S Immense wealth
1t IL r'lmored that benevolent beouest has been
made ct several hundred thousand dollars tba,
literary institutions have been founded and :, m
We shall soon learn whether there is anv ,r,,, :,

for some years been the confidential clerk Of Nr
Astor, and will doubtless receive handsome lega.
CIV. One of the of Mr. A is a confirmed In.
matte and is taken care of in house built eynress.
ly for him by his father in New York He has
servants, medical attendance, etc. The domestic
affairs of Mr.. Astor We're never happy. or at least
have not been so for many years
2cT The sleighing in Fitchburg, Mass, is said to
have been excellent up to latest accounts
