a Reckless Count.

Count de Chateauvillard, who has
Just died in Paris, was in his day one OF
the most brilliant men and dashing
equestrians of France. 1t was he who
once rode up the steps of the Jockey
Club (then at the corner of Rue Drouot
and Bouleyard,) y and played a game of
billiards on horseback. He rode for
some time q most vicious horse. A
friend said: "lf you ride that herse
three months longer, Pll bet he kills
you" The Count replied "What do you
setf" twenty-five thousand francs" "
Taken" The Count felt in honor
bound to his friend to ride the horse
every day, and the horse showed him
self to be so very vicious that the Count
had his coffin made and sent home,
for he was sure be would
rssuire it before long. His
wife (whe had been extremely
uneasy lest his horse should kill him),
seeing her husband look upon the horse
as dangerous, as she herself considered
him, no sooner saw the cofii q placed in
her husbands dressing-room than she
went to the stable armed with pair of
pistols, and shot the dan gerous steed
through the head. On one occasion the
Count was asked by friend, a Mar.
quise, to see her to her carriage. They
were at ball. Going down stairs some.
body trod on her dress and tore it. She
asked for pin. The Count took from
his scarf diamond pin worth 5000 and
presented it TO her. She declined, say.
ing: "Oh, Count, it is entirely too val.
uable." "Is that the only objection to
the pin p Certainly This werd was
no sooner out of the Marquise's mouth
than he broke off the diamond, threw
it ont of the neighboriDg window, and
gave the golden pin to her.

For some time past the mortality
among children of tender age has been
enormous, the prevailing disease being
cholera infantum. On the Goth inst,
Kate Keid, aged II months. was certif.
ed By DR.. Cook, of East Fourth street,
three days illness. Inquiry having been
made by Mr.. John Bovine, Register
Clerk of the Board of Health, it was
found that the mother was EN-.
ployed as wet nurse in a private fam
lily, that the infant was placed at 27e
Third street, where it died, "to be cared
for until adopted out" and that, other
children arc kept there on the same
terms. At Mr.. Bowne's request, Ssni-
tary Inspector Lee was sent to ascertain
how infants were fsrmed ont from these
premises. and be learned that Mrs.
Mougener, occupy ing the rear basement,
took infants to board. She had received
five since the beginning of the summer,
of which number three had died and two
bad been returned to their mothers. In
the doctors Judgment, the woman had
treated fhe infants ignorantly and care
lessly, but without malicious intent.
The food given them was milk, or milk
and water, mixed with crackers or
"zwiebsch," food that might kill horse.

"Imp,eprie,iesu Of Omcial Life

A very improper occurrence, says the
Washington Star, which took place in
the Treasury building the other evening.
resulted in the dismissal of married
man andJa single woman, both en-
ployes in that department.. 1t would
seem that the services of Hannah Tyler
are again needed in this building. Only
last week lady, whose husband is a
clerk in one Of the bureaus of the
Treasury, accused her lord of running
after strange goddess in the shape Of q
lovely female employe of the same
bureau, and when confronted by his
superior officer he confessed the fact, but
pleaded in extenuation that every time
he went to his home he found his wife
in familiar intimacy with certain e1-
official of high social standing. The fe.
male employe was dismissed, and only
few days ago a clerk in the same bu-
reau was dismissed for refusing to sup
port his unlawful off-spring, that the
mother had been compelled to send to
the Poor House.

The Tennessee Election.

The Tennessee election occurs to-day
Unless all information received from
there is false SENTER will be elected by
an immense maj ority. 1t n supposed
that the election will be q quiet one
throughout the greater part of the
State. The Memphis Sun Gays, howev-
er, that armed men have leagued them
selves together, in upper East Tennes-
see, to prevent all persons who have
certificates of registration from SEN
TER's Registers, from voting in the Au-
gust election. Te give color to their
lawless purpose they call them rebels.
The registration was all right when it
was so executed as to prevent Demo.
Gratis and Conservatives from voting.
1t would be right now if these rebels
so called would vote for STOKES. But
the difficulty is, they are SENTER men,
and these passion-blinded zealots have
determined they shall not vote if they
can help it.
We suppose that SENTEK, who is the
chief executive officer of the State, will
apply the usual remedy for all the ills
political in his State, that is, send a
few companies of militia after the Oh
streperous "loyal" folks. "Let MS have

ACa, in a Very Awkward Fix

In New York, some days ago, while
workmen were constructing the iron
front of new building in Walker street,
a cat by some means crawled into the
hollow part of the iron girder which
forms the base of the front. The work
men heard the cat, but paid no atten'
ton to its cries, and tho work proceeded,
thus ontombing the cat. The fact was
reported to the Society for the proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals, by whom
the builders were ordered to release the
cat, even if it became necessary to take
down the entire front to accomplish it.
The front had been erected as far as the
fourth story by this time, and the mat
ter began to wear serious as we'll as
expensive aspect. There was no alter
native but to comply with the orders,
and men were set to work to remove the
animal. 1t was found necessary to re-
msve small part of the side wall, into
which the girders were inserted, and
then chisels and sledge-hammers were
brought into requisition, and hole
made large enough for the cat to crawl
through.

An Enormeus Farm.

A Lafayette Qndiana) correspondent
writes to the Cincinnati Gazette that
there is corn field in Benton county,
Indiana, of seven Thousand acres, in
good condition and growing splendidly.
This field is to be found on the farm OF
Adams Earl, Esq, who resides ia La.

"Messrs. Earl and Fowler have a farm
of thirty thousand acres in Benton
county, in one body, well watered, and
with permanent improvements, having
one hundred and forty miles of hedge
fence and sixty-fve miles of board fence,
thirty dwelling houses for tenants, three

Pleasure Tours

Referring TO the statement in the As
,ociated Press dispatches that General
GRANT, latter he had exhausted the
pleasures of Long Branch, would pro-
ceed to Saratoga and the White Noun
tains, watering places which are the
most famous in their character, the
ENQUIRER says: In the meantime, four
Cabinet officers majority OF the Cab
ixet-are likewise sOjourning at summer
pleasure resorts. The Executive part
of the Government-which during the
war the Republicans taught US was the
Government itself-is certainly taking
thipgs very easy.
1t does not consider its presence at
Washington as being in any degree es
sential 1t is perfectly willing that all
the Administratio machinery shall be
run by subordinates. In the meantime,
GRANT and his Secretaries can be be-
hind fast horses at the beach,
on the sea shore, and they
can be enjoying themselves in
flirting with the ladies, in dances,
moonlight serenades, and boat excur-
sions. We never had President be-
fore who took things so light and easy
as GRANT-who appeared to be so little
burdened by the cares of his great Office
Iu fact, GRANT having made of the
Presidency a great distributing lottery,
where his family connections and friends
draw most of the prizes, has retired
practically from the place. He cares
nothing who runs it, or how it is run,
provided he is not called upon to give
the matter any of his time or attention.
As the Persian monarch once offered
a large reward to any one who would
afford him a new pleasure, so does GRANT
consider him the most useful whose sug-
gestions will best relieve him of part
of his Administration dRties.

AVnriet, Of stimuIants.

MNish in his able work on "The
Philosophy of Drunkenness" gives an
account of the effect of different stimu-
lauts on the system. DR.. Paris, in his
"Pbaramacologia," relates some curious
facts relating to stimulants. Hobbies
drank cold water when he was desirous
of making a great intellectual effort.
Newton smoked, Bonaparte took snuff,
Pope strong coffee, Byron gin and water.
Wedderburne, the first Lord Ashburton,
always placed a blister on his chest
wi hen he had to make great speech.
The great Lord Erskine took large doses
of opium. On the trial of Queen Caro-
line, Erskine, anxious to make great
speech, took an overdose of his favorite
drug. The effect was striking; he drop
ped into the arms of Lord Stanhope, who
sat next to him.

TERRIBLE FRACAS IN MIS-

A Town Attacked by NegrOes-ThIr-

The RinsIeader and Several Citizens
Arrested by the Military.

The Grenada Sentinel Of Saturday
gives the following account Of late
serious disturbance at Greenwood, q
little town on the Yazoo river, forty
miles from Grenada:
We hear Of q terrible sffAir which oc-
Cured ia Sunhower county last S,iur
day, some fifteen or twenty miles from
the town Of Greenwood. From what we
can learn, il seems that, under the lead
Of we'll known negro scoundrel named
Combash, q large number Of deluded
colored people had assembled near the
poirt named for the purpose Of attsckin Z
several stores 10 that neigbborhood, with
the final aim Of crossing the YsEoo river
aud sscking Greenwood. A number
Of prominent citizens, hearing Of the
threatened danger, got together, armed
aud waited for the denoumenf.
Combash and his party, composed Of
several hundred, made their appearances,
fully armed-some reports have il with
United States muske's-aud began their
work Of plumber. n to)ner had this
commenced than the citizens, who had
retired, made their appearance, aud 3
general fight took place, which ended in
the killing and wounding Of some thir-
teen Of the msrsuders. We trust this Is
the last Of such horrors Let rs trust,
that once the election is over, these de-
