Metairie Course-Third Day.

The entries for the purse yesterday brought a
larger crowd to this Course than any day this meet
ing. Sally Ward, Jenny Breeze and Buena Vista
were the competitors. The Glencoe filly had the
call at 500 to SS0aganst the field, while the whole
crowd were willing to ''hy out freely that Salty
Ward would be last in the race. This was a race
at two-mile heats. and all the nags entered have
been considered among the best two-mle horses in
the South The track of course was heavy, after
so much rain, while the sun of yesterday had only
the effect of making the soft soil tough as dough.
At the start, the Leviathan flly got the lead, and
held it for mile but on entering the second mile
grew and coared Breeze, holding her place until
they swung into the home stretch, when she
changed places with Breeze, and came home an
easy winner in 4:0S-the grey running easy. -
Any amount of odds was now offered on Buena
Vista, and no takers.
On coming to the post for the second heat there
was a bandage on the near fore leg of the grey
and yet she looked well. Away they went. satin
leading for mile and three-q quarters, when the
favorite turned in ahead. and won the heat in 4.0s
the grey being within jump of the oh. fiIly at the
line Jenny Breeze was so far behind that she never
came IN at all at the end of the second heat
The time, as given in the annexed summary will
show the state of the track but each heat was most
interesting from the style in which it was run:

THE COPPER REGION-SINGULAR
DISCOVERY.

We learn from the Lake Superior cor.
respOndence of the Buffalo Express, that
the miners Of the Vulcan Mining Compa-
ny, In process of working one of their
veins, struck upon an old Cave, which
unquestionabIy had been worked centu-
rles ago. In this cave were found sever
al sinks, IN depth about thirty-feet, and
then drifting along the vein, making an
open cut. These cuts, in the lapse of
years had become filled up nearly TO lev
eI, and in them trees of the largest size
were found, apparently more than three
hundred years old. Ia digging down in
to new place the miners found about
twelve feet below the surface, a mass of
Copper that will weigh from eight to ten
tons. The correspondent of the Express
says 1t appears that this mass of cop
per was taken from the bottom of shaft.
at the depth Of about thirty feet. In
sinking this shaft from where the mass
now lies, they followed the course Of the
vein, which pitches considerably; this
enabled them 70 raise it as far as the hole
came up with slant. At the bottom Of
the shaft they found skids of black oak,
from eight to twelve inches in dlameter-
these sticks were charred through, as If
burnt; they found large wooden wedges
in the same situation. In this shaft they
found miners CAD and narrow chisel
made of copper. do not know whether
these copper tools are tempered or not,
but their make displays good workman
ship. They have taken out more than a
ton of cobble-stones, which have been
used as mallets. These stones were near
ly round, with a score cut around the
centre, and look as if this score was cut
for the purpose Of putting a with round
for handle. The Chippewa Indians all
say that this work was never done by Ia
dIans."

THE GLACIERS IN THE ALPS.

1t is scare ely possible to estimate the
quantity Of zee IN the Alps; 1t IS SAID
however, that, Independent of the glaciers
IN the Grisons, there are 1900 square
miles of ice in ne Alpine range, from 80
to 600 feet thick. Some glaciers have
been permanent and stationary IN the
Alps time immemorial, while others now
occupy ground formerly bearing corn or
covered with trees, which the irresistible
force of the ice has swept away. These
Ice rivers, formed on the snoW-clad sum
Its of the mountains, fill the hollOws and
high valleys, hang on the declIvItles, o.
descend by their weight through the trans
verse valleys to the plains, where they
are cut short by the increased temPera-
ture, and deposit those accommodations Of
rocks and rubbish, called moralnes, which
mad fallen upon them from the heights
above. In he A ps the glaciers move at
tue rate OF from twelve to twenty feet
annually. and, Is IN rivers, the motion l.
most rapid IA the centre. They advance
or retreat according to the mIdness or
severity of the season, but they have been
subject to cycles of unknown duratiOn.-
From the moraInes, as well as the strI8
engraYen on the rocks over which they
have passed, II. Agasslz has ascertained
that the valley of Cham0unI was at one

STORY OF 4 SAILOR.

the husband of a young and handsome wife,
whoa | had married but six months before.
When | left her. | promised to return to her
IN less than a twelyemonth. | took all my
money with me, save enough to support my
wife IN my absence, for account. For long
time we were favored with prosperous winds,
came upon u.s. 50 that IN a short time | saw
the vessel must be lost, for we were drifting
on the rocks of an unknown shore. | or
dered the men to provide each for himself in
the best possible manner, and forget the ship,
as It was an lmposSibility to save her. We
struck sea threw me upon the rocks sense
less, and the next would have carried me
back into watery grave. had not one OF the
sailors dragged me further up the rocks.
There were only four of Us alive, and,
when morning came, we found that We were
on a small, unInhsbIted island, with nothing
to eat but the wild fruit common IN that por-
tIon Of the earth.
| will not distress you by an account OF
our suffsrInEs there: suffice It TO say. that
we remained sixty days before we could make
ourselves known ID any ship. We were Ia

THE WIFE'S SOLILOQUY.
Nv husband, thou vert lovely
When first | welded thee;
THY cheeks were then all rosy,
Thy brow from care was free.
Thy health was firm and steady,
Thy name was honor'd then;
For good thou then vert ready,
Thou shuuuedat every sin.
But all. Ny heart beats sadly,
1t is 50 broken now;
Thou dost partake TOO nadly
OF drafts of liquid woe.
Thy health is gone already;
Thy name IS a reproach;
T or good thou'st never ready;
dare not thee apr roach.
And yet love thee dearly;
Wcre't not to comfort thee,
IL seek tie grave quite early
And be from anguish free.
Oh would that thou could'st love me !;
With me thy leisure share;
If thou w1uld'st but approve me.
I'd have no other care.
Ny peace would be unbrohen,
My heart would leap with joy,
Times flight would but betoheu
Delights without alloy.
Faint hope! Thou heart 50 weary
Let now thy fondness cease;
All earth IS sad and dreary,
The grave must give me peace.
