the amount of the precious metal

arises what effect, ifany, this cnor-

The. Race Of the Seas0I-.-Thc
----t GrcaI Mlile KacC.

While tho sporting public are
greeted with accounts Of great races
at Saratoga, Buffalo and elsewhere,
rs well as on the grate Metairic,
tho Dexter horse Peerless, Pocahon-
tas, which performed last weck.at
Buffalo, N. Y, we are grstifiod We
can announce q race which has not
its equal in any chronicle, not oven
the Spirit Of the Times, New York;
CT Belts Weekly, London. This
came Off at Mississippi City day
before yesterday ut noon, under u
banter of the visitors at Barncs's
Hotel. How race with mules
swimming in the Cuff of Mexico
would appear in sporting chronicles!
Accordingly the arrangement was
made for u single dash--to start
from the edge of the beach or shore
which mule and rider could go
farthcst into the Gulf sa
Accordingly, at noon, three mules
made their appearance, which wc
designate as follows Loalidcr
entered and ridden by B. w. Hunt
ington, of this city; dress, black.
pahtaloons, red shirt, broad Mexican
son. .brcro withrcd ribbons. Second.
Parnassus, entered and ridden by
Thos. L. Maxwell; dress, good pair
pantaloons, checked shirt, barefoot
cd. The third, gray mule Walkin-
the water, entered and ridden by
A. Bower; dress, broad sombrero,
mousselne dc laine shirt, fashiona-
bic pants. Distance to be run d.
rcctly into the Gulf the ono going
tho furthest to be considered tho
victor. .ao
At the start Lcander took the
lead with little hesitation in
taking the water; parnassus, rather
more willing; Walk-in tho Water,
on tho whole, declining. However,
Hthoy all got off, Leander leading,
followed closely by Parnassus, with
Walk in the water in the rear. As
they progressed towards deep water,
near the gcntlcmen's bathing long
wharf, Parnassus made q dash for
the prize. Walk-in the;Water that
had been holding back, made one
of those dashcs, which well trained
sportsmen know how to use to so
much advantage. So, at one time,
il was doubtful which would come
off winner. Resting a minute op-
posite The bath house, the contest
was continued to deeper water,
where the swimming qualities Of
the contestants could be appreciated.
Getting within one hundred yards
of the picrhead, it was soon perceiV
ed they were off soundings. The
rider of Leander was unhorsed, but
soon recovered his equilibrium.
Parnassus showed great mettle, and
was fully up to what was required
of him. Walk in -the-Water woke
Iup Just here as though he intended
seriously to dispute the supremacy;
Finally the judges on the wharf
decided the feat had been accom-
plished, and Leander declared to bc
the winner. Distance ran and
swan nearly three-quartors OF n
milo.
The spectators, Of whom there
were many women, children, ana
others. crowded on the green in .
front of the hotel, and were greatly
delighted with the experiment OF;
racing with mules on Mississippi
ground. The masculines thronged
the wharf. gran
1t is suggested that TIE ncxt time

POETRY.
Things That Never Die.


The pu,o, tho bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
Tho impulse Of o worldless prayer,
The dream of low and truth.
The longings after some hing lost,
Tho spirits yearning, Dry,
Thostrivings after better hopes;
rTficso things shall never die.
The tinid hand stretched forth to aiL
brother in his nced,
That kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves the friend indeed
Tho plcn Of mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens nigh.
The sorrow Of contrte heart;
These things shall never die.
The memory Of caspng hand,
The pressure Of kiss,
And all the trtles, sweet and fral,
That make up loves first bliss
If with firm, unchnnging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hands have claspcd; those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell,
Tie chilling want Of sympathy
We feel, but never toll.
The hard rcpulsc that chills tho henrt
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept:
These things can nevor die.
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not . chance to waken love,
BE firm. and just, and true;
SO shall light that cannot fhdo
Beam on thee from OH high,
And angel voices say to thcc:
These things shall never die.
