camos. the winner of the EPSON.

Gamos was purchased when ayearling
by her present owner at Mr.. Blenklron' $
annual sale at Middle Park for the small
price of 200 guineas. The value of the
stakes won to-day was f4S50, and she
has two or three other engagements
which she can hardly fail to secure. Her
last winters performances were very
good, though not equal to Sunshines or
Hester. Still it is evident she has i'm
proved while they have gone off. She
started eight times as two-year-old,
and was successful on six occasions.
Her first win was the Weston stakes at
Bath, where she beat eleven others. She
then won the two-year-old stakes at Har
penden, beating Pate and Temple; the
Windsor stakes at Windsor, beating
Calypso; the Bentwick memorial stakes
at Goodwood, and the Lodmoor sta kes at
Weymouth Ather next attempt in the
Woburn Park stakes at Bedford she was
beaten by Pate, and she was also beaten
by Bedford in the Gopsal Park stakes at
Leicester.
At the second October meeting at
Newmarket, however, she scored an
other win in the Windsor stake, beating
Florian and Gay Dayrsll The Oaks
was the first race she started for this
year. She has several valuable engage
iaents for this year, including the York
shire Oaks and the Park Hill stakes at
Doneaster Mr. Graham, her owner,
has been very lucky in regard to the
Oaks, having won the same raceip 1868
with Formosa, and in 1865 with Regalia,
thus scoring three victories in six years.

The house of Mrs. Dunkley, of Leaven-
worth, Kansas, was entered by a burglar
on the night of the lst instant, ancl the
Bulletin of that place relates the sequel
as follows: is. aa 1a
Mrs. Dunkley, it appears, always
sleeps with protector, in the shape of a
six-shooting revolver, and it happened
that her protector was near at hand.
She calmly lay in bed until the robber
came from the parlor. Shortly the man
made his appearance, walking very
softly, and Mrs. Dunkley ca utiously
raised her revolver and fired. Ehe ball
evidently struck the robber in tn shoul-
der, as no mark of the bullet could be
found in the house, and the thief dropped
his booty on the floor and stove. In the
meantime Mrs. d. sprang out of bed to-
bring the fight to close quarters. The
man then drew pistol and fired at the
lady, and the ball passed through one of
the panels of the door leading from the
bed room into the parlor. The burglar,
after firing, employed his legs very Wig
orously, and left the heroic lady master
of the field. She cried for the police to
pursue the wretch, but he had too much
of start to be captured.

A Bird story.

A pretty incident is related of a canary
bird by a correspondent. The door Of
the birds cage was occasionally left
open, that he might enjoy the freedom of
the room. One day he happened to
light upon the mantel-shelf, whereupon
was a mirror. Here was a new discovery
of the most profound interest. He gazed
long and curiously at himself, and came
to the conclusion that he had found a
mate. Going back to his cage, he Sc
leeted a seed from It's box, and brought
tin his bill as an offering to the stranger.
In vain the canary exerted himself to
make his new found friend partake, and
becoming weary of that, tried another
tack. Stepping back a few inches from
the glass he poured forth his sweetest
note, pausing now and then for a reply.
None came; and moody and disgusted,
he flew back to his perch, hanging his
head in shame and silence for the rest of
the day; and although the door was
repeatedly left open, refused to come out
again. --r.tr.lg- -...l.-r

The lady calling herself Editha Gil
bert Moniez," and daughter Of Lola
Montez," was last evening taken before
Inspector Jameson, at Police Headquar-
ters, by the special police officer attached
to the Astor House. That official, how
ever, had nothing further TO alleee against
her, except that she owes a bill Of sew
enty-six dollars for board, and a declara-
ton by DR.. Swan, the physician Of the
house. that she is insane. The lnspec-
tor did not feel justified in OBTAINING her
under these circumstances, and directed
the officer to return her to the house, le;
her remain there during the night and this
morning take her before a magistrate,
where the matter can be investigated
without inaieting any preliminary hard
ship upon the lady. His Instructions
were followed, and the case will probably

fact that Bess Lyon, the dam of Gamos,
