A Greater Tro.tcr than Dexter.

A. few weeks since it was stated III
several of the journals of this country
that a great trotting phenomenon had
Just been brought out ut Paris. The
statement gave the time of the horse ut
2:23, which was said to have been made
without any previous training. The
report was not believed on this side OF
the water, and wagers were freely Of
fercd that no such performance had
been made. From 4 gentleman who has
Just returned from Paris. where he wit
messed the trial, and who is of unQues-
tionable veraciry, we gather the fol-
lowing: On the visit of the Car to
Paris he brought with him, among 9th
or objects of interest, stallion which
was II natural trOtter, and which, never
having been trained, had developed an
extraordinary degree of speed. This
Tas Tie horse Bcdouin, Az animal OF
Arabian blood, crossed with Holland
stock. He had been in the Empcrors
stables ever since foaling, and began
to show the qualities Of trottcr at
seven years.
When the Car went TO Paris, he took
the stallion with him. In June last
trial was made of the speed of the horse
in the Bois de BOlogne, in the presence
of large gathering of English and
American gentlemen, patrons of the
turf. The track was 4 rounded rect
angle, much the shape and size of one
of our ordinary halfluile courses. In a
heavy Russian gig, weighing 4 hun
drcd and twenty-five pounds, the groom
of the stallion, man weighing one
hundred and eiGhty-live pounds, drove
the horse, which was very ileshy, and
not by any means in good speeding con
dition, three times about the course in
the time of Al. The track was meas
ured by several gentlemen, curious to
know the exact time, and was found to
measure nearly tivc-eighths of Il mile.
The stallion had therefore trotted = mile
and seven-cighths at the rate of 2:23! to
the mile.
The effort was at once made by a.
number of our Americans to purchase
the horse, and Elias Howe, jr., offered
$780, 900 for him, it is said The Car
refused to part with him, intending to
keep him for breeding purposes.
BedOuin is eleven years old, fifteen
hands three inches in height, and weigh
ed at the time of the above trial, |, ,l30
pounds. He has Il beautiful head, limbs
clean and very strong, with n tail sweep
ing on the ground. 1t was thought that,
in good condition, the stallion could
trOt Il mile in 2:ll ut least:

Negro Jurors.

FORTRESS MONROE, Va, August %
Judge Fowler, of the County Court at
Williamson, n. c., recently gave de-
cision allowing colored jurors, stating
that since the abolition of slavery in
1865 by North Carolina there was moth
ing excluding negroes from acting as
jurors, and since the civil rights bill
was passed by Congress granting them
all the rights OF whites, they were fully
entitled to act in this capacity.
