A correspondent Of the Boston
Journal writes:
A man is thought very little Of in
New York unless he keeps q fast team.
What horse racing is to the English,
fast trotting is to New Workers. The
road is full of teams during the season
and the fabulous price which New
Workers pay for q fine team is wonder
fnI. When it is known that q new
horse is to be shown of, whose time
is remarkable, New Workers become
as excited over the intelligence as If q
great battle was to be fought. It is a
common thing for Sc, 600 or SO, 900 to
be paid for a pair of horses. Wander
bilt has long been looking for 3 team
that will keep BOnneF's dust out Of his
ewes. When SIC, 600 dollars amounted
TO something, be put up that as a
standing offer for 8 fast team. He
would give $2O, 600 in q minute If he
could find something to beat Dexter.
The great excitement just now is over
8 horse known as the American Girl.
She was sold for S. 900, The price
then rose to $4,000 She trotted on
the Narragansettc course, and is said to
have equa1led the best timeDexter eVel
made. On her return the owner was
offered $50, 900 for the horse which he
refused, and he now asks $52, 600
Com. Vanderbilt has made the fortune
Of a great many men during the lssi
SIX months by instructing them a
buv Hudson River and Central. Thess
men prODOse to buy the American
Girl and present her TO the COmcd0ri
as q token Of gratitude.

A day or two since the grocer found
iArhis fsl market returns q counter
felt five dollar bill. He didn't like TO
lose It, and he didn't quite like to take
the chances to pass it. So he called
on an old darkey who was hanging
around the premises, and said to
him:
"Sam, here's a five dollar bill that's
little doubtful. IF you will take it
and pass it, I'll give you adOllar Of the
change"
every well, y said Sam, and he took
the bill and went of. Later in the
day he returned having accomplished
the feat, and handed over four dollars
in good money to the grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting
over the cash returns from his fish
market, was more surprised than de-
lighted to find the identical five in the
pile.
"Look here, +" said he sharply to his
market clerk, ''here's q counterfeit
five dollar bill-whO did you take it
Of? Didn't you know twas bad?"
The clerk took it and looked att for
q moment.
"Oh, yes" said he, "I remember
now :. / took it of Sam the Darkey. I
thought it was a little doubtful, and
wasn't going to take it, but he said he
got it of you, so thought it was all
right"
