ORIolN OF "lIuRRAu.'-The word is pure
Sclavonian, and is commonly heard from the
coasts of Dalmatia to Behring's Straits, when
any of the population living within these
limits are called on to give proof of courage
and valor. The origin of this word belongs
to the primitive idea that every man that
dies heroicaly for his country goes straight
to Heaven-H@ry ('to paradise") and il is
said that in the shock and ardor of battle
the combatants utter that cry, as tbs Turks
do that of "Allah!' each animating him

compense to forget earth and to contemn

THE SrEAM-WAGoN.-The work on Over

temporarily suspended, for want of funds.
a large sum Of money has been expend-

Mr.. Overton, and the work is far advanced.
1T is to be hoped that the "machine" will
be completed at an early day. that the

has anything to do with the scarcity Of
funds or not, we are uniformed. Bee.

Within the last week or ten days there
has been great stir among the Nor

has it that orders from Salt Lake, at the

received for aid in the approaching troub-

The GREAT RACE IN ESGLAND-TnE AMER
IcAN Houses BEATEN. HALIFAX, Wednes-
day, Aug. IL, 1857.
The following meager particulars of the
great race for the Goodwood Cup, we
gather from the Liverpool papers. None
Of the accounts at hand give the time of
aug of the horses. The French horse Mon
argue won the race. The English horse
Riseber is placed second and Fisherman
third. Gunboat slipped and fell, and Gem
mard Vergy also fell heavily. Monarque
won by a head, and Riseber beat Fisherman
by about three lengths. Anton was placed
fourth, and wcs three lengths behind Fisher
man. The American horses Prior and Prior
ess were placed fifth and sixth, and the En-
glish horse MeKssa seventh. All the others
pulled up. The finish is said to have been
the most exciting ever witnessed. The En-
glish papers remark, but without assign
ing any reason, that the American horses
w"uld have figured more prominently had
they been ridden by English Jockeys
\ Washington correspondent of the n
O. True Dcltu says:
1.-The steamer Canada brings us news of
the defeat of the American horses Prior
and Proress, which run for the Goodwood
Cup. It is said by the knowing ones in
this city. that such was the wish and in
tention Of their owner, (Mr. Ten Brock. J
and that that they knew it would be so.
A little jockeying, they say, is to be play
cd; so look ont for the next stakes. The
Goodwood Cup has never been won by
an American horse, and it would have
been CORY cnouglI for either Prior or
l'rioress to have taken it."
The editor of Porters Spirit of the Times
Is under the impression that Mr.. Ten Brock
miil challenge the winner to a match at
four-mie heats for $4,000; or that lie
will propose to meet the Englisl, cham
s,ons of the turf on this side of the AT

recently discovered. To sufficient guam
tity of honey add two scruples of myrrh
finely powdered, a scruple Of gum juniper
and ten grains pulverized rock alum. A
portion Of this dentifrce should be fre

this excellent medication we are sure those
who are so unfortunate as to have de-
cayed or rotten teeth will thank us, as it
instantly removes that most disgusting Of

moves incidental pains caused by taking

A Cheap Shave.

One day stout fellow, with beard like
shoe-brush, went into a barber shop and
took chair for a shave. One of the young
men in attendance waited upon him prompt
ly, gave him close shave, and put him in
firstrate order to make decent appear
ance in the streets. When the process was
complete and the stranger was ready to de-
part, he made an inspection of his pockets,
and finally found cent, which he handed
to the boy in payment for the service he had
performed. He was politely informed that
the price of shaving was sixpence. The
man replied very coolly, II know it, and that
(pointing to the cent? only lacks five cents
Of it! you ANITA going to stand for half a
dime?"
There was no appeal from this All the
people in the shop, customers included, were
convulsed with laughter at the impudence of
the fellow: but his gravity was unshaken--
He took his hat and departed, calculating,
no doubt, that he had driven good bargain
with the barber and was soon casting about
for an other chance to save half dime.
