One can easily imagine the embarrasS-
ment of capital under these circumstances.
Which prophet are we to believe in The
Constitutional or the Pays? Who is
really the inspired ? The first of these
journals is surely in the secret of the
gods, but the second is credited with the
same privilege, and both were decorated
on the 15lh of August last. The balance
is level between these two augurS, which
must naturally increase the bewlIderment
of the good people who CONSUL; them.
Answering the appeal of the Constitution
mel, which Invites it to "spread life and
prosperity broadcast" capital, like the
mouse which risks the top of its muzzIe
at the mouth of its hole, is disposed to
venture abroad !; but, on the decorating
sound of the Pays, which, like General
Bloum, sloats in the smell of gunpow-
der, it runs back again. And-what rend-
ers the situation more obscure-the pro-
vinclal journals from time TO time reveal
pithy facts of more or less Importance,
which it is difficult to explain. For ex-
ample, on the tete of August Is, the
police, if the TOuI0nnaiS is to be believed,
arrested persons in MarseilIes for crying
"Vive la paix" as The project was going
to witness the fireworks. If the cry of
"Vive lie paix" is seditious, are we to
draw the inference that war is meant?
II war is not meant, why are persons ar
rested for crying Long live peace" n
stead of thanked for being in harmony
with the secret wishes of the Govern
ment? We should advide the COnStitN-
ti0nneI to ask for fresh information, or at
least to inquire of the Pays why 1t be-
~lieves in war, and to communicate to The
public in a new proclamation the result
of lis Investigations, taxing the precau-
ton that it should not be contradicted
the next day by another o%fficiouS jour
nal for it can no longer he said now
that it is the Opposition journals that
are piling heavy clouds on the horizon
to prolong the evils of uncertainty. The

Mule Race.

"A Nllite nan is mighty unsartain,
niggers will steal. and a mule race won't
do to bet on" This seems to be the uni
versal verdict Of these WHO are posted in
the characteristics of humanity. and par
ticularly Of those who staEed thcir money
on the mule race of the Chamette Club
yesterday. 1t is rumored that match is
being got up under the same auspices to
come off very soon, when the racing mer-
its of the best mules that ran Tuesday will
be Fl naiv tested on the Fair Grounds
track. The following over true story of
how mule was fed up to race, Or race d
up to a feed, may not be inapropos. The
EXPERIMENT was little costly, and occurr-
ed in this wise. After due training, and
much bet ting interest, the appointed time
approached. All started in style, the
mind of each mule being little confused
as to whether man was riding him, or
whether he had pile of burning light
wood on bis back On they went, like
Pandemonium spirits, following anything
but straight path The sfavorite was $50
wards ahead, his hackers taking everything

thy citizen staked $1,000 on the result.
and felt just that much richer, so certain
was the result. But this was mule race,
and mark the issue. AS the favorite,
who had been in the habit of grazing on
the grounds during practising days, had
just completed the first half mile, he spied
friend in the field browsing happily on
the young spring grass The friend hailed
him with a bray Of recognition, perhaps
invitation, for instantaneously the favorite
leaped the fence, and commenced grazing
also. In less than one minute he had eat
en- tteelte hundred dollars worth of grass,
for every effort of his rider was unavaiiing
to get him back on the track in time to
save his distance The worthy citizen be-
fore mentioned doesn't think mule races
will do to- bet on, and we know some anu
ateur jockeys that don't think they will do
tosride in. g
Notwithstanding this we hear it said that
the mule who distinguished himself as a
above will probably be entered in the an
/ ticipated race, " 0 Times.
