BURIAL or HERZoG.-The Cincinnati
Commercial devotes over a column to
III obituary notice Of the horse Herzog
who died few DAYS sine after making
the best mile race on record. The ar
ticle winds up as follows:
His attendants, or rather companions,
are deeply affected By his death. They
had come to regard him as invincible.
and thoroughly knew him. Herzog was
kindly GisposiIioned horse. and seemed
attached to those who had been in con
slant attendance upon him. AS soon as
he died a telegram was sent to one OF
bis owners, Major Thomas, at Lexington,
Kentucky, informing him of the event.
The Major INN ediately replied by tele-
graph: Bury Herzog in a good place"
His Instructions We're followed. a grave
was dug, eleven feet in length, by four
feet in depth, IN the northeastern por-
ton of the enclosure of the track, close
on line with the three quarter mile
pole, and there he rests. A large cham
payne bottle, tightly sealed, containing
brief resume of his exploits, e copy Of
the Commercial containing an account
Of his last race, and a programme of
the days races in which he took part,
were deposited with him. His record
was brief bot unparalleled. Ia his short
career he finally vanquished every horse
that had previously beaten him, and did
not die until lie had conquered even Old
Time.

THE PRoGREsS OF OUR RAILROAD
There have been twelve miles of track laid
on the Y. & 7. r. r., including the two
miles from Carson street up to the end Of
The tie and wood sluice. This is about half
the length of the entire road. Superintend-
ant Yerington expects to lay, tomorrow, one
mile and half of track. This will take the
work some distance beyond the Mound
House. lie also expects to reach the mouth
Of the big tunnel by the lst of November.
Al the iroa for the main road is already
here; so that there is no probability OF the
completion of the track being delayed beyond
The middle Of Lext month. The iron for the
side tracks IS on the way-from England
we believe.

Indian Cotton by the New Transit to Europe
A Coming Revolution in tLe Trade.
Messrs. Ellison q Haywood, Of Liverpool, in their
circular to hand BY the Siberia at this port make
the following remarks as to shipments OF Indian cot
ton coming by way OF the Suez Canal
just now American cotton Is relatively dearer than
Surats, the margin between miudlIng upland aud
fair Dhoi!erah being about three peGue Der pouno
Two months hence We should not be surprised to see
this margin TGaucet 10 two pence or less either by
fail In American or q rise IN Dhoierah, a combi-
nation OF both movements Early In the year
good Surats will become very scarce. The stock may
be replcnisned via SueZ but 1t would be mistake
TO look for much assistance in this direction; for
obvious from the latest advces that some time must
eapse before the canal can be in fair working order
Our impression is that TOO much importance has
been attached TO the probable influence OF the new
route upon the movements OF the Indian crop. Sup.
posing the most sanguIne expectations Of NJ. de
Lesseps, as In the engineering success Of enter
prise, TO be realized, 1t does not follow that the
cana.wil be extensively used by shippers OF Indian
produce. Everything viii depend upon the state OF
the markets. Hitherto the bulk OF the Indian crop
mas arrived here In the autumn when the supply OF
American Is running down; but II shipped via Suez
II would arrive here in the sprng and early summer,
when the supply OF American Is large Is IL reason
aoe 70 suppose that merchants VIII hurry their cot
ton forward by an expensive route to meet the COM
petition OF the cream Of the American crops II the
supply OF the American Is small and prices there
by enhanced no doubt the canal Will be freely used,
supposng II 10 be IN working order; but If the
supply oil American Is large and prices thereby

be detained India unt late in the season, or
sent VIA the Cape 50 as to arrive here when the
stock of American is approaching its minfmum
Buyers OF Surats 10 arrive ruled % tte
sderatlos as guide the shippers hence the bulk Of
the forward contracts entered into IN the course OF
the past month has been fur cotton to De shipped

before II ls shipped and If merchants lind II less
easy TO sell VIA suez than by way OF the Cape they
Will sell by the latter route, ana telegraph shlppngs
accordingly. Prices will nuctuate according to cir
cumstances. In American cotton sometimes distant
parcels are higher priced that ones and some.
times near cotton Is higher priced than distant. SO
II VIII be with the Indian CROP at times canal cotton
Will be cheaper than Cape, aud at other times Cape

It's Departure Delayed by the Storm.
The Spanish gunboats did not SAN yesterday as
was expected in consequence Of the severe storm,
when rendered 1t extremely hazardous for vessels
OF that class 70 leave the harbor The machinery
being new, and therefore liable to give some trouble
first starting out, the way OF heating journals,
fOamng boilers, &c, and most OF the engineers aud
Iremen, having ocean experience, being liable TO
prostration by sea sickness in rough weather, the
gunbnas must necessarily take advantage OF q
smooth sea FOL their nrst cruise. They will
probably touch at For.ress Monroe and on
the coast or Florida, ana should rough weather
be encountered they run In at other ports. The
PIzarro being slow vessel the iotirla will not be
able to carry coal for the entire voyage especially
az the machinery Will cause many stoppages for the

The Shadow Of Change-RepOrted Failures
In Trnde-Nino Commercial Houses Close in

It would appear as II the season OF failures 80

L. Edgerton s. Co.. carpets, corner OF Leonard

Park Hotel. The liabilities OF Edyerton l. Co. are
said to exceed half million OF dOlla rs. The firm
made an assignment on Wednesday, for the benefit
OF creditors, to Albert p. Edgerton of Fort Wa yne
Ind. The establishment of Howard Cole & Co., an
extensive dry goods store In Baltimore, is also re-
ported closed, and. as the house did largo Dusi-
with several importing houses OF this city there
is some interest felt here IN the failure OF the
