GERMAN TRoUT-Rev. VIM. IL. Lord,
in his last letter from Europe, speaks of
catching some trout in one Of the brooks
that run through the. Black forest, near
Baden. He describes them as follows :;
These fish arc not like our New Eng
land trout. OF this fact i am So well
pleased to be convinced that it is almost
worth trip to Europe to verify it.
They have black and red spots like ours,
but no crimson, no blue, no golden spots.
They have not the greyish brown and
black marks which belong to ours. Their
color is blush, very blue when, they are
boiled They have one less back fin
and, worse than all. They have scales
palpable and actual scales. No micros-
cope is needed to find them. They are a
scaly tribe. Their meat is white, and
they are not a rich as our trout.

Tho Spanish Observation-Disclosures, Chiof Of

Tho Spanish Revoluti0n-Espartoro, Chtof of
tho Govornment.
The Spanish revolution progresses, in the
most orderly and satisfactory manner, towards
complete realization in the establishment Of q
free government, ELECTED by the public voice,
and trusting for solidity in the future to the
electoral approval and support Of nation sud-
denly awakened to q knowledge of its rights
and the endorsement of the millions who have
proved themselves, so far, well worthy Of their
enfranchisement. Marshal Serrano, accom-
panied by seven generals Of the regular army,
entered Madrid on Saturday. The soldier
liberators enjoyed triumphal ovation, in
which the citizens and military took part, and
which, according to our cable telegram de-
scription, partook Of the character Of as fine
turn out" as could be witnessed in New York,
even about "these times" of Presidential
election. The streets and buildings of the
capital, public ediices and private mansions
were decorated in the most superb manner
the sidewalks, squares and housetops were
crowded with people there was an immense
procession, and the generals were hailed with
"wild enthusiasm" A military parade and
review of the National Guard followed
very fine affair. and which evoked the most fer
vent expressions in manifestation of the popu-
lar will. The inscriptions borne on the ban
ners reanirmed the sentence of the expelled
dynasty and proclaimed the programme of the
reformed policy of the nation in few short,
but decisive sentences. These were, "Down
with the Bourbons, Sovereignty of the Peo-
pie" Religious Liberty" and Free Educa-
tion."
With their case thus set forth to the world
and their future intentions thus enunciated
the Spaniards came down to practical work.
Marshal Serrano addressed the multitude, in
forming them that he had united with General
Prim In calling Marshal Espartero, Duke de
vittoria, to the head of the State. The cable
telegram does not say in what constitutional
capacity or under what designation the old
soldier is to serve, but 1t may be presumed that 1t
will be as chief of provisional government
pending the drafting Of constitution and the
submitting of it for ratification or amendment
to the people by universal suffrage. A new
Cabinet was then formed, with Serrano as
President of the Council, Prim Minister of
War, Senior Madoz Minister Of Finance, Senior
Oloyaga Minister of Foreign Affairs, and other
eminent reformers with portfolios. Manuel de
Ia Concha was placed under arrest, the people
thus officially oblterating personifcation of
many irritating remembrances at the mo-
ment when they had cleared and ably
pioneered the path Of Spain for her advance
to political dignity, religious liberty and the
enjoyment Of intelligent measures Of citizen
equality and freedom.

The regular fall races at Jerome Park COM
mence tomorrow. There are hundred
horses in the stables, all in superb condition
and Boosting of most noble pedigrees. During
four days of this glorious fall weather Sport
and Fashion are to be entertained by the
American Jockey Club. Hurdle races, fiat
races, champion stakes, sweepstakes, cham
payne stakes and nursery stakes, four mile
dashes, two year old and three year old, and
all ages of equine life are in the programme,
many Of them stimulated to make appearance
on the turf by the liberality Of the Jockey
Club in the contribution Of handsome purses.
But II is probable that the sport on the turf
will be eclipsed by fashion on the stand and
in the carriages Of the first families. 1t has
become the custom now to place the race course
and the opera house in rivalry. Feminine beau
ty and masculine vanity seek the race course
as they do the opera house, to see and be seen,
to admire and be admired. The tiniest Of kid
gloves, covering jewelled fingers, the sweetest
Of bonnets the most recherche neckties and
best cut coats are to be seen in equal quantity
and quality on the grand stand at Jerome
Park, as in the Theatre Francois or Pixies
Opera House. The prettiest hands beat ap-
plause for the favorite horse just ~ they do
for the favorite tenor. Possibly Of all the
brilliant throng who assemble on the smooth
and well kept course Of the American Jockey
Club one-eighth Of the number 60 there to meet
each other, to interchange friendly greetings,
to criticise their neighbors' toilets and indulge
in all that pretty pleasantly which belongs
alike to the race course and the theatre.

GUS progress Of the metropolis that men who

will be passport to glorious welcome OF
the Kentucky democracy.
How preposterous, then, is the idea that
with Grants election the Southern whites,
owners of the land and dispensers of employ
ment to the blacks, will, to any appreciable
extent, abandon their Southern homes be-
cause Of their apprehensions OF negro su-
premacy. Even the terrible fre-eating Toombs'
Of Georgia, who, with the fall Of bis intolas.,r
Southern confederacy, cleared out to Cuba in
wrath and disgust, returned as soon as he
found that there was no more danger of Fort
Lafayette. The only two men Of the "Con-
feIerate States, we dare say, who will proba-
bly, never feel any desire to return under the
sovereignty of the "Stars and Stripes" are
Mason and Slidell The outrageous presump-
ton of Captain Wilkes in taking them, regard
less Of their constitutional rights, from British
protection on the high seas, is thing which
they can never forgive or forget. We expect
that after Grants election the moral Of that
fine old fable of the wind and the sun will be
repeated in the South. The wind, In it's efforts
to take the mans cloak of his back, only
caused him to draw it more tightly about him,
while the sun, with his melting rays, soon
persuaded the perspiring traveller to dispense
with his wrapper. So we think that, with
Grants election, the Southern coercive expert
ments against the blacks, inaugurated by the Ku
Klux Khan, will be superseded by Wade Hamp-
toms original policy of Cancellation; and that
this policy will soon bring the Southern blacks
into happy accord with the landholding and
labor-dispensing whites we verify believe.
Then the work of Southern reconstruction will
assume consistent cohesive and enduring
shape.

will vindicate his own integrity, triumph over
his enemies, replenish the Treasury and save

do more than this. He will draw about the
incoming administration Of General Grant an
