| Four Mile Race in Eng a nd in the Olden
Tfmes-A Lady Jockey in the Saddle.
On August 25, 1904, most extraordina-
ry match was got up between Col. Thorn
tons Vingarillo and Ny Flint's Thornville
| four miles, over the Knavesmire Course
Mrs. Thornton to ride her weight against
Mr.. Flint's. The reports of the day repre-
sent that such an assemblage was drawn to-
gether as was never before witnessed on a,
| race course, there being at least 100 900
persons present. The concourse of people
was SO great that several additional bodies
of men were employed 10 keep the course
clear, and also a detachment of dragons
on horse back. Mr.. Flint's colors were
white, and Mrs Thornton rode side-saddle
| in dress, the body of which was leop-
| ard color, blue sleeves, and the rest buff
and blue cap The betting at starting was
5 and 6 to on the lady, and it is stated for
fact that upwards of e1O0,OOO We're de-
pending on the result. In the running, the
| lady took the lead at starting, and kept
| it for upwards of three miles, when
| Mr. Flint pushed forward, obtained the
lead, and kept it; and Mrs. Thornton find
ing she could not win, pulled up when
within about five hundred yards distant
| from the winning post The race was run
in 9m. 59s Mrs. Thornton, nothing daun-
ted by her defeat, rode two more matches
| Ill Gllc .ytdI, "ll1Cu DObu CdlllG OH
on one day at the York August Meeting-
| The first match was fol 1000 guineas (half
| forfeit) and four hogsheads of Cote Roti
wine, as also bet of 600 guineas p. p. by
| Mrs. Thornton. But one fthe parties to the
match (Mr. Bromford) declining to ride,
Mrs. Thornton cantered over the Knaves-
mire in most excellent style, accompanied
| by Colonel Thornton, and thus became the
| winner of ], 600 guineas, and also enriched
the wine cellar. After this performance, Mrs.
Thornton made a match to ride mare,
Louisa, against Buckle, the well-known
Newmarket jockey, on Allegro distance
two miles, Mrs. Thorntons weight 9st.
6lb, and Buckles 13st. Glib. On this oc-
casion the lady jockey appeared dressed for
the contest in purple cap and waistcoat,
nankeen colored skirts, purple shoes and
embroidered stockings. The start took
place at half-past three, when Mrs Thorn
ton obtained a lead, which she managed to
keep for some time. Buckle then wrested
| the lead from her, which however, he only
kept for a few lengths, when Mrs. Thorn
ton pushed forward. and came in a style
far superior to anything of the kind ever
witnessed, winning by half a neck. The
style of Mrs. Thornton's riding is describ-
ed as being elegant and artistic in the ex-
treme. Her close seat and perfect man
jockeyship, amazed and delighted the
crowds of spectators that thronged the
course !; and on her winning, she was hailed
with repeated shouts of applause.

The New Plan of Reconstr uctiOn.

The Governors of Southern States-Gov-
ernors Orr, of South Carolina, Sharkey, of
Mississippi, and others-who have been in
consultation in Washington, have gone
home to carry out a plan agreed upon
This is tc get the different Legislatures of
the Southern States to indorse a project of
impartial suffrage wi h property qualitica-
tions of $3.50, and ability to read and write.
This done, they propose to present the pro-
ject to Congress as the base of plan of re-
construction upon which Congress, the
President, and the Southern people can be
likely to agree.
It is stated that this plan will be much
less Objectionable to the South than tn e
amendment to the Constitution. The diff
ferent Legislatures of the South now in
session have been telegraphed to not to ad
journ until the matter can be laid before
them. 1t is probable that North Carolina
will be the first State to act upon the ques-
tion.- Washington Star, 9Th inst.

What the Japanese Jugglers DO.

One of the feats of the japanese jugglers,
now in San Francisco on their way to the
Paris Exposition, is thus described
An old man lies upon his back with his
feet in the air little boy mounts and
stands upon them. An oval tub is passed
to the boy, which he places under his feet
and upon the mans another is given to
him, which is added to the first, and so on
until the little fellows head touches the
proscenium from the top of the tottering
pile, which is all the time supported by
the strong and muscular chap below.
The little fellow makes his salaam to the
audience from his dizzy height, coolly fans
himself as he surveys the situation, and
appears as unconcerned as if reposing on
terra frma. Suddenly one of the perform
ers utters an exclamation in japanese,
which is responded to by another The
old man, the foundation of the pile, takes
up the chorus, the little fellow at the top
jerks it out like the snapper of a whip, the
" foundation gives his feet a kick-things
look squally for little Tommy-the audi
ence fear that he will fall and break his
neck or be terribly bruised among the
boxes !; the old man beneath appears in
imminent danger also from the falling tubs,
but no, he gives his feet kick, throws the
tubs entirely from him. and Tommy drops
like a cat, alighting with his feet upon the
old mans and in an upright position.

White and Negro Troops-Interesting
Statistics.

| The last number of the A7'nay and Ndua
Journal has an interesting article embody
| ing some statistics that illustrate the com
| paratlve endurance, efficiency and genera
capabilities of white and black troops 1t
appears from these official statistics thai
the former are, in every particular, superi
or to the latter:
The total number of troops in the Union
service from April 1861, to May, 1865, is
| set down at 1856. 553; the total number o1
negro troops to July Is, 1865, at but 1856,
| O57-giving the proportion of about one
negro to fifteen whites. The greatest mum
| Der of negro troops in service at any one
time was in the midsummer of 1865, afte,
the fighting was over, being 1913, 156. Many
of these troops saw no fighting at all. The
Journal admits that the negro troops dis
played great aptitude for drill and discip
line, but contends that the experience of
the war demonstrated the marked superior
ity of the white troops in the power of re-
sisting the diseases and hardships incident
to service, and claims that they are much
more economical force than negro troops.
The facts cited on this head are convin.
cling.
At the end of October, 1S65-after one
years service-out of 1856, O57 negro troops,
S5, O24 had been retained in service, only
AOt Ilt1 U0cu muSUtI6u OuU, anu Q
were 81 lost to the service" There were
few desertions among them; they had pass
ed through comparatively little fighting,
and the loss is mainly attributed to their
inferior physique and consequent inability
to resist disease
The report of the Medical Department
for the past year shows that the ratio of
deaths among white troops to that of cases
of sickness treated was as one to fifty two,
while among negro troops it was as one to
twenty-nine. The proportion of sick, too,
among the latter was much larger than
among the former. The Provost Marshal
Gen S record shows that out of 18O, 900 negro
troops no less than 26, oil died of disease,
making death rate of one in seven, exclu-
ding deaths from wounds. Of the two and
half millions white troops but 158, 120
died of disease, giving death rate, exclu-
sive of wounds of but one in SIXTEEN
Eight negro soldiers died of disease where
one died of wounds five white soldiers
died of disease where three died of wounds.
It thus appears that the negro soldier s
power of resisting disease is less than one
half that of the white soldier.
The proportional deaths froLl wounds
were many fold greater with the white
than with the negro troops, and the pro-
portional deaths from disease more than
one-half less.
It may, therefore, we'll be worth a thought
how far the employment of colored troops
is an economical measure. If it be admit
ted that to give them a representation in
the army with other citizens is a wise meas
ure, yet it must also be granted that they
cannot, as yet, so well endure the fatigues
of military service.

STATE NEWS.

| A MARROW EsCAPE.-FrOm the Williams
ton EHp0SitOr, of the 3Oth of January, we
learn that Elder G. 3. Hasso1i, recently had
a most narrow escape from serious I'M ury,
if not death. On the morning of the Goth,
while on his way to meeting at Spring
Green in Martin, the horse of Elder Has
sell, a newly purchased one, took fright and
dashed off at a most fearful rate of speed
| through the woods, breaking up the vehi-
Gle and throwing the Elder out, injuring
| him, however, only slightly on the knee.
The friends and admirers of Elder Has
sell, of whom there are not a few, will re-
ioice at his Providential delivery and pre-
seryation from harm.
SoLD.-The Exchange hotel, in this city,
was sold at auction to-day, for $4,000 in
specie Mr.. r. G. Lewis became the pur-
chaser. We presume this change of pro-
prietorship will not affect the operations of
the house as hotel. This community can
not well afford to loose Blair, who has made
himself famous by his management of that
establishment Progress.
Rowan COUNTY CoURT.-Our County
Court is now in session. We think there
are fewer cases than usual on the criminal
docket The decrease of our black popu-
lation by emigration to the Southwest is no
doubt partly the cause of this. Nor is there
very large evil dOcket-only about sixty
new cases. A number of Lawyers are in
attendance.-SaL. Old North State.
Mr. William Brown, a most worthy citi-

on Monday, the following gentlemen were

PITT CoUNTY.-A party of desparadoes,
in the lower part of Pitt, overlook the
Sheriff few nights ago, at point known
as Haddock' s Cross Roads, and, compelling
him to dismount. took possession of his
money and the papers he had about him.
| We understand that no violence was
offered to the person of Mr.. Gray, the Sher-
| iff, beyond forcing him to deliver up every
| thing in his possession.
The same band, or another acting in con-
cert with them, then proceeded to Green
vile, and entering the clerks Office in the
Court House, effected terrible destruction
of the records and legal documents therein.
We are not advised as to the amount of
damage inflicted, but fear it will prove
heavy, and cause much loss and incon-
venience to the county.

Exciting Scene in "a Menagerie.

A recent attempt to shift a huge, black
named Sahara lion from cage to den
built to hold him, at a menagerie in Scar
borough, England, was only successful af-
ter several hours hard work. William
Gross, the lion tanner, was summoned from
Liverpool, and at last the lion was safely
denned. While he was receiving the con-
gratulations of the people about him, he
inadvertently laid hold of one of the bars of
the den. In moment the huge animal
sprang from his crouching position, and to
the CONSERVATION of all beholders, seized
the hand of Mr.. Cross in his mouth. 1t is
impossible accurately to describe the scene
at this iuncture-fear seemed to possess
every one present. Several strangers, who
had been specially invited to witness the
shifting, magnifed the accident to Mr.
Cross into an escape of the lion out of his
cage; thus, filled with fear, they rushed
out of the menagerie in great trepidation.
The lion still held Mr.. Cross fast by the
hand, nor could he be enticed to let go his
hold, although tempting junks OF beef and
cows hearts were thrown into his cage
but the most surprising part of it was that,
during the whole of the time each was try
ing to attract the attention of the lion from
him, MIR. Gross appeared the least disturb
ed, as, with his eyes fixed on his captor, he
seemed to be watching and waiting patient
ly for some expected oppor unity. Find
ing the lion determined to retain his hold,
and the pain becoming very severe, Mr..
Cross asked one of the keepers to hand him
a small bar of iron he was holding ready
for use. With this Mr.. Cross succeeded in
striking the brute between the eyes. The
enraged animal sprang back with a snarl,
tearing away the flesh from the hand, and
mutilating one finger SO seriously that at
first it was thought amputation was an alb
solute necessity, and was recommended,
but Mr.. Cross, with GOODNESS in him char
acteristic, refused all surgical aid-he
thought he was sufficiently cut up already,
and, wrapping his mutilated limb in wet
cloths, walked out of the menagerie as if
no accident had happened to him, and re-
turned as soon as possible to Liverpool

Terrific Scene to a Mother.

The Cincinnati g Enquirer" of the 23d
says "On yesterday morning, when the
train on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton railway was coming in, and just as it
was about to pass the crossing at the upper
Mill creek bridge, the conductor saw &
small child right upon the crossing. An
Immediate check was impossible, but he
whistled down the brakes and reversed his
engine. At the moment the mother of the
child emerged from house at the side of
the track, expecting to see her darling
crushed beneath the wheels of the ap-
preaching engine. The speed of the train
was gradually slackening, but the distance
was only few yards, and it seemed i'm
possible to check it in time to save the
child, who seemed fastened to the track,
and made no attempt to move from the ap-
preaching danger. The engine went on
and on, the COW catcher struck the child
and knocked it across the track, but the
momentum of the train was counteracted
just as the wheels touched the clothing of
the little one. A few inches farther, and
it would have been crushed and mangled.
The mother caught the child in her arms,
and when she found it was still alive and
comparatively unhurt, her mothers feelings
of JOY were too great, and she swooned en-
tirely away.

We are indebted to Mr.. Lewis Wood

Times, one bearing date of the 7th of jan

In appearance they afford a striking con-
trast. The former is well known as d large
paper of eight pages well filed; the latter
is a 7.by affair, with four columns to the
page. The former contains the news of the
whole world spread out at large /; the latter
is devoted to Nelson's victory of the Nile,
rebellion in Ireland, some local news and
seven columns of advertisements. Mel
sons account of the battle is dated 7th of
August, or nearly two months before it was
made known to the British public; gklle
