Jack Rink and the Yankee

Few cODmuulCleS are lDUIc SlIODSIJ Iu-
bued with passion for horse-racing than
the good people of Natchez. In New
York folks talk "soger" and "engine )"
in Natchez they talk horse. They be-
lieve in quadrupeds, and nothing else.
To own the fastest horse in Natchez, is
to enjoy the fee simple of an honor In
comparison with which a member of Con-
gress sinks into nothingness-
During one October the "fall meeting"
took place, and led to more than the
usual amount of excitement and brandy
cocktails. The last race of the day was
sort of Stree fight" open to every
horse that had never won race; purse
$500, entrance fee S25.
Among those who proposed to 60 in,
was Yankee pedler with sorrel colt, Of
rather promising proportions. He thus
addressed one of the judges:
81 say, captain, should like to go in
for that puss."
"With what"
"That sorrel colt"
"Is he speedy u
'I calculate he is, or | would not wish
to risk load of tin ware on the sesult." "
"Do you know the terms 2"
"Like book, puss $500, and entrance
fee S25-and there's the dimes"
Here the Yankee drew out last Gen.
tury wallet, and socked up two KS and
V. Among those who witnessed the
operation, was Jack Rink, of the Belle
vue House. Jack saw his customer, and
Immediately measured him for an enter
tainment. After the usual fuss and pa.
laver, the horses were brought out, sad
died and prepared for siugle heat OF
two miles. There were eight competitors
beside the Yankee. The latter was on a
smart sorrel colt, with very fine eye,
aud lift of the leg that indicated speed
and bottom.
"Bring up the horses" said the Judge
The horses were brought up The
Yankee gathered up his reins and ad.
iusted his stirrups. While doing this
Mr.. Rink went to the rear of the sorrel
colt, and placed chestnut burr under
his tail. The next moment the order tC
ego" was given, and away went the nine
horses, of all possible ages and conditions
The Yankee was ahead and kept there
"Tin ware" was evidently pleased with
the way things were working, and smiled
smile that seemed to say:
"That puss will be mine in less time
than it would take creased niger to
silue down soaped liberty polA
Poor fellow he hadn't reckoned on
that chestnut burr The irritant that
Jack had administered not only increased
the animals velocity but his ugliness to
do anything else. AS the Yankee ap-
preached the Judges stand he undertook
to pull up. but it was no go. He might
as we'll have undertaken to stop thun-
derbolt with yard of fog.
The Yankee reached the stand-the
Yankee went down the road. When
last seen he was passing through the ad-
joining county at speed that made the
people look at him as at that comet, that
was to make its appearance in the fall of
1854. Where the sorrel "gin out; 1t is
impossible to say. All we know is that
the Yankee has not been heard of from
that day to this, while his "wagon load
of tin ware" still makes one of the lead
ing attractions in the museum of Natchez,

| The CONCERT TUESDAY EVENING, by tn
" Black Swan" Miss Greenfield, was at
tented by an audience respectable in point Of
number, considering the short notice given
aud the state Of the roads. The programme
was composed Of ballads, and duets and solos
from operas and oratorios, and was executed
to the entire satisfaction and delight Of the
audience.
Miss Greenield's voice is a very remarka-
bic one, in its range embracing three full
octaves. Its power was strikingly exhibited
IN the song When stars are IN the quiet
skies'-the first verse of which was given in a
deep cuntralto, almost masculine, and the
second in the ordinary alto. Her especial
forte is the ballad, We should think, rather
than the more ford Italian opera music.
Miss Greenfield has been in Europe until
quite recently, has been under the ~instruc-
ton of Garcia, the celebrated teacher of
music, as we understand and her perform
ances there attracted much attention.
The gentleman who accompanies her ex-
ecuted his part of the programme very ac-
ceptably to the audience. The duets were
especially good.
Mr.. S. c. Moore OF this place, was the
pianist of the occasion, and performed with
his usual skill.

The expenditure in the Trent affair
amounted to 1908 900 sterling.
In debate on that subject in the House OF
Commons Mr.. Bright strongly denounced
the policy Of the Government and said that
the money had been worse than thrown
away.
He refuted the idea that the American
Government was influenced by a mob, and
argued that England's interests were 50 bound
up with the Americans that it was in every
respect lnadvisable to infict a sting which
might take centuries to remove.
Mr.. Baxter endorsed the course Of the
Government, but condemned the tone Of the
press.
Lord Palmerston defended the ministers
and said Mr.. Bright's opinions and bis
advice was confined TO himself. lie thought
the course taken deserved comnendatiOn and
believed it was calculated to insure the con-
t~inuance Of peace.
Earl Russell deeply regretted the civil war
and expressed the hop, that Eugland would
treat with forbearance any stretch of power

Everything in the vicinity Of the army OF
the Potomac remains ina state OF quiet
ude. We learn from Louisville, and
from a very reliable source that the
U. S. Collector of that city has within the
past ten days dispatched a confidential agent
to canvass the State of Tennessee, especially
those portions on the rivers lately
opened by our gun-boats and forces, to
feel the pulse of the loyal business
people there and ascertain the true extent
of the alleged union feeling. If the report
Of this agent shall be desired satisfactory,
land his investigation will be Of the most
thorough character) there is good reason
to believe that trade will be Immediately
opened with all parts of that State, the same
as before the rebellion, with.the exception Of
articles contraband Of war.
