The New York Hera1drublishes an article
showing how utterly inadequate are the for
tifcations along the sound and lower bay to
successful resistance against the newly
invented engines of war. Before the re-
bellion, New Y ork was impregnable; but it
would now be entirely at the mercy of
fleet armed with the heavy ordnance brought
into requisition by the exigencies of our late
civil war.
Long Island furnishes parallel to the
Chicago Driving Park murder. On the I'd,
Robert Walker, well known to turtles as a
trotting trainer, who kept hotel adjoining
the Centerville Course, Long Island, was
found dead on the track of the course, with
a hole in his head made by pistol ball.
He is supposed to have been killed by two
well dressed young men, who were after-
wards seen leaving the grounds. The bull
let penetrated the right side of the head,
just above the ear, and went through to the
left temple The object of Walkers MUIR
der is supposed to have been revenge. The

An Inauguration race was held last week
at Jerome Park, near Fordham, above New
York city, under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Jockey Club. Sixty horses were en-
tered, and the races lasted four days. The
Club has been got up by Mr.. Leonard W.
Jerome. 1t is to own an elegant club house
in the city, as well as the beautiful grounds
recently laid out near Fordham. The grand
stand at the race track is $50 feet in length
by IS in width, and will accommodate 5000
persons. 1t is divided into three sections.
The centre is devoted to the members Of
the club and their families, the others to
the public. The whole is elegantly ar
ranged with ticket Office and refreshment
room, and with every convenience There
is also another club house on the grounds.
This park is under the control of gentlemen
of responsibility. 1t is expected that it will
be so managed that evils attending races
may be remedied. The "sports" will not
be permitted to control Jerome Park, but
the races that take place there will be under
the management of men with whom the i'm
provement of stock and the healthy excite
ment and amusement Of the competition Of
noble animals is the first object.

go stone, which they grind into q kind Of
-four This miserable sustenanoe is wholly
insufficient to keep large number Of them
from starving, and the fearful spectacle is
presented of numerous corpses lying on the
highways. They remain unburied, and,
probably as consequence, cholera has
broken out, and is carrying off large num-
bers of persons. In their utter distress,
mothers are offering their children for sale
in order to buy bread.
Late Mexican advices, by way Of Havana,

the difficulties which surrounded him. lie

in troublous times that true Hapsburgh

AFTER.

After the shower, the tranquil sun;
After the snow, the emerald leaves;
Silver stars when the day is done;
After the harvest, golden sheaves.
After the clouds, the violet shy;
After the tempest, the lull Of waves;
Quiet woods when the winds go by;
After the battle, peaceful graves.
After the knell, the wedding bells;
After the bud, the radiant rose;
joyful greetings from sad farewelis;
After our weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden, the blissful need;
After the flight, the downy nest;
After the fuIrow. the waking seed;
After the shadowy riyer-rest.

the emperor from the capital he turned over TO
Marshal Bazane the supreme direction of affairs,

The greater number of the members Of the
cabinet who presented their letters of resignation
last Saturday night, finally agreed to withhold
final action until they should see how things were

is now lieutenant general in command of the
empire.
