A Great Ten Mile Race for $lO,OOO.-A
match for $4,000 has just been made by the
owners of two celebrated Geldings, one of
which is Hero, the PAGER, and the other is known
as the Sorrel Gelding of Hiram Woodruff
The distance agreed upon by the parties is ten
miles in repeat, on the Union Course. The
horses are each equal in speed to any now on
the Turf of the United States, and this long
race has been made expressly with view of
testing the speed and bottom of Hero, which
is claimed to be the fastest PAGER in the world
1t will probably be a thorough test of which is
the best stock in race of such long distance,
and bids fair to create some considerable ex-
ctement among those who take an interest in
good horses.

incidents of the Epidemic.

The Port Gibson Herald records the following
yellow fever items as having occurred during
the prevalence of the epidemic in that region.
A planter in Warren county being sadly in
| want OF certain articles of merchandise, and
not being positive as to the extent of the pres
valence of the epidemic called up his teamster
and charged him this wise:
"Jim, dye hear, tomorrow do you take the
team and 60 to town and get some sugar, coffee
and other things at Mr-'s store; III give
you an order. But mind you, Jim, you drive
the team down to the end of the lane, about a
mile from W---n, and then do you 60 in
town, and if there's ANY yellow fever there don't
you drive in the team. Dye hear!"
No less laughabe were the proceedings" of
livery stable keeper, in town not less than
fifty or sixty miles distant, who as soon as the
epidemic broke out, sent all his horses out of
town, and made his negroes remain to watch his
corn crib.
The most amusing of al-and we are author>
rlzed to relate it's this:
A gentleman from the country, who had been
to Port Gibson some time during the first week
fthe epidemic, and was riding home at pretty
smart gait, was brought up by a man running
out of his house and nquiring:
"Say! Have they got the rale yellow fever
in town?'
"Oh, yes. There's no doubt of that, reckon"
was the answer. a
sand is it fact they've got the quarantine
long with if! Til swar, it's bad enough to have
one disease, without havin' another to help it
along!''
This filled the gentleman upon the road "too
full for utterance," and putting the switch to
his horse, he was off, to make the woods resound
with his pent-up laughter Reaching his desti-
nation, he musttell it to friend, plain, honest
hearted man, who, however, had neglected the
"redments." The incident was too good to
keep, and so he related it,
"Haw, haw, hawr' roared honest John.--
"Why, dod-durn the ALFRED fool soul to thun-
der, didn't he know that the quarantine was
nothing but the black vomit!"
The last brick foored the newsbringer, and
he rolled.

This paragraph from the German, mos

UThis paragraph from the German, most
happily hits the attributes of wife, mistress
and lady. 1t just as true as writ.
"Who marries for love takes wife, who
marries for consideration takes lady. You
are beloved by your wife, regarded by your
mistress, tolerated by your lady. You have
wife for yourself, mistress for your hous.
and its friends; lady for the world. Your
wife will agree with you, your mistress will
accommodate you, your lady will manage you.
Your wife will take care Of your house hold,
your mistress of your house, your lady of ap-
pearances. Ifyour are sick, your wife will
nurse you, your mistress will visit you, your
lady will enquire after your health. You take
walk with your wife, a ride with your mistress
aud join parties with your lady. Your wife
will share your grief, your mistress your money,
and your lady your debts. Ifyou are dead,
your wife will shed tears, your mistress lament,
and your lady wear mourning"
