A recent decision afirms that the old defni-

more than half white blood, has therefore
right to vote as Ga white person"
"A correspondent of the New York
Spirit of the Times writing from ,Bewlyville,
Ky, says: About twelve mouths ago
young man in this county, Breckenridge,
got married and went to Housekeeping. In
short time his mare had twin colts; not
long after, his COW had twins; this spring
all his ewes, six in number, had twins; and
now we are told his wife has twins-a fine
boy and girl-both of which are doing well.
All this took place in twelve months.
Mr.. Webster wrote, after continued
provocation, to the editor of a newspaper
which referred to his private affairs, and
especially to his not paying his debts: he
said substantially: "It is true that have
not always paid my debts punctually, and
that owe money. One cause Of this is,
that have NOT pressed those who owe me
for payment. As an instance of this, en-
close your fathers note, made to me thirty
years ago, for money lent him to educate his
boys.
The crinolines cannot boast of orlglp-
ality. Among the Greek ladies, long time
ago, even better fashion prevailed upon than
that which is now kept up by whalebone,
rattan, brass rods, watch-springs, and hogs

coats! The amyanthus, or asbetots, native
fossil stcne, could readily be split into fla

they came out uuharmed, and whittier than

= The London News devotes an article
to Mr.. Seward, as the Republican candidate
for the Presidency of the United States, and
advises him what to do in regard to the At
rican slave trade, so soon as be gets to the
White House. Mr.. Seward must feel grate-
ful for such disinterested concern in his po-
litical welfare, whatever he may think ofthe
propriety of giving advice at this time, nearly
two years before, under the most favorable
circumstances, he could possibly put it into
practice. The Republican Convention must
also feel indebted to the News for taking the
nomination out of their hands and so quietly
settling matter that usually brings with 1t
a great deal of Observation-Disclosures Clip

But nowhere, either in the French account

of the wailiugs and desolate prostrations by

Two remarkable foot races came off
ontbe Empire Trottiug Course on yesterday.
Two Indians, named Smith and Bennett,
matched themselves to run 100 miles within
thirteen hours During the morning the
atmosphere wasvery sultry and the mercury,
at ten o'clock, stood at ninety degrees in
the shade. Nevertheless, both men started
in the race and ran to the tweDty-eighth mile,
when Bennett gave out, leaving his rival to
accomplish the feat alone. The first fifty
miles were run by Smith in seven hours and
twenty-four seconds. He continued the
race to the sixty-frst mile, when his feet be-
came so swollen that he was almost unable
to walk, and he gave up the race. The time
occupied by Smithin the sixty-one miles was
nine hours, twenty-niue seconds, the quick
est, for the distance, on record.-7roy
