To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In your report OF the meeting OF the American
Jockey Club in this days issue you PROFOUND the
question: sIs not Mr.. Elves professional jockey,
or has he not beenS" In answer would state that
it has always been understood In England, as well
as In the United States, that professional Jockey Ia
one who receives pay for his services. | have
ridden horses for different owners In this aud other
countries, and challenge any man TO say that
have ever claimed or accepted any remuneration for
such services therefore cannot understand the
anmus that has prompted the above question,
except II arises from the fact that have ridden in
races where professionals were engaged. l beg to
say that In England France and all over the Conti-
nent gentlemen meet professionals constantly with
ont thereby in the slightest degree forie,ting their
claim to be considered gentlemen riders.

WIsDoMlll INFORMATION I'm the last
weeks Advertiser, the following important
OF TRUE? information is furnished by the
publicists, who teach the people through the
medium of that paper:
at will be remembered that we opposed
Mr.. Varigny's appointment at the time it
was made, mainly on the ground that he
was a member of the French Legion of
Honor which is everywhere regarded as tan
tamount 10 being 10 the service of the French
Emperor,-the decoration being q mark Of
peculiar favor, bestowed only on those who
have shown great devotion to the French
Empire"
From this we learn that Mr.. Chickering,
the piano forte maker of Boston, sis in the
service of the French Emperor l"-and has
shown peculiar (most peculiar) devotion TO
the French Empirel and so of many other
like cases. OF course, the fact that Mr. Va
riguy received the decoration some months
subsequent to his appointment to office here
is not Of the smallest importance TO the Edi-
tor, since he might say that if he was not op-
posed TO the appointment because Mr.. Var
igny was a member of the legion of Honor,
he was opposed to it, because he had fore
knowledge that he would be -. We
can not pause to point out, Of what vital i'm
importance it is to this community, whether
our Advertiser friend is opposed to an ap-
pointment or not

PETRIFIED GIANT-A few months since
in the town of Lafayette, New York, far
mer digging for water, in marshy spot on
his farm, came across, about four feet under
ground, a curious rock, which attracted his
attention aud that of his neighbors. 1t was
unearthed and was found in appearance
to be so completely like man, that it
was pronounced to be a petrilied body, and
under that announcement, has attracted con-
siderable attention in that locality. The
figure is SO perfect that it is said to be impos-
sible to avoid the conclusion, either that it
has been living body, or is an old piece of
sculpture, though the latter supposition
seems impossible, as the stone bears no
marks of the chisel, and it is not of the kind,
that would be chosen for such work. The
papers say that it is great curiosity, and
that thousands are going from the neighbor-
ing city of Syracuse TO see it; neither the
scientific nor the unlearned, are able TO ex-
plain this curious relic. The following are
the dimensions of the petrified giant: Length
from head to chin, 81 inches; length of nose
from brow, inches; length of mouth, 4
inches; width of shoulders from point to
point, feet; length of middle finger, s
inches from the point of hip to knee joint,
3 feet; diameter through the leg at the thigh,
10 inches diameter through the calf OF leg,
81 inches height, 10 feet 3 inches; his foot
measures 1917 width across the palm of the
hand, inches; diameter through the wrist,
) inches; diameter across the nostrils, 81
inches.

LAST week the r. C. Advertiser, in comment
ing on a decision of a case which had been
before the Police Court, the preceding week.
under See. 1 of the law of 1869, regulating
the storage of explosive substances other
than gunpowder, makes the following state
ment:
" Our surprise at this singularly crude style
of law-makiug, is however somewhat abated,
when we learn that the statute in question was
the production of no less a legal mind than that
Of the present Minister of Finance mind, it is
said, that delights in the sinuosities Of legal
language that it cannot produce a single SEN
tenee of ordinary English"
We suppose it would be impolite to say
that our neighbor never learned any such
thing. This law was approved May 18th,
1865 at which time the Minister of Finance
had been absent from the country, more than
one year, and did not return until September,
1868. This fact was known TO every body in
the Kingdom, and TO none better than the
AdgertiSer, hence it cannot back out from the
charge of "willful Misrepresentation of
fact" on the threadbare trick 1--WE learn"
After this, its readers will know just what
dependence may be placed on its statements
and comments.

DENoRALIzATIoS-.In leading editorial of
the p. c. Advertiser, of Nov. goth, we have
the following important information, if true:
ALREADY we are aware of the baneful hab-
its and practices which they (the Chinese)
have transplanted upon our (sic) shores, of
which the use of opium and the PROSTITUTION
OF YOUNG HAWAIIAN FEMALES are most per-
minent."
So We have this reracioWs Chronicle inform
ing his readers that the prostitution of youth
full females was transplanted hither, introduc-
ed BY Chinese u was unknown before their
coming. We hope our missionary friends will
read, mark, and inwardly digest this. We
had been labOring under the impression that
they had been engaged in preaching much on
this subject before the Chinese came.

UyDEE date of October Both our New York CORES

tween land and water carriage: The contest between

FOUND DEAD AT THE STATION HOUSE,
Heha, native known as Capt. Long, who
was arrested aud taken to the Station-House
on Monday evening Tor being intoxicated,
was found dead in the cell in which he was
confined, on Tuesday morning. Two men,
confined in the cell on the same charge,
could give no other account of the man than
that the last they recollect of seeing him he
was standingat the cell-door looking through
the grating. The post mortem examination
before the Coroner's Jury, showed that the
man came to his death from the effects of the
conclusion caused by striking his head heav-
lily upon the floor of the cell, which is of
concrete.
