After the Rev. DIR. McElroy had sa-
luted the newly married couple, Judge

of Mr.. Pomeroy gave the bride a dowry
of $75, 900. She also received a number
of other rich and elegant presents. All

MAMBRINO BRRTIE.
The Wonderful Colt Sold by Dr.
Herr 10 Bonner.

From the Lexington Observer and Reporter.l
Mambrino BERTHE exhibited his points
in front Of the Observer office on Mon
day morning to quite number Of crit
ical and admiring eyes. Mambrino
BERTHE is the three-year1 old colt recently
sold for $4,000 to Robert Bonner by DR..
Herr, and, in the estimation Of the purs
chaser, is the most extraordinary colt
the world has produced" j" II is said by
competent authority that his trial on the
Buckeye Course last year at Cincinnati
was the most wonderful in the annals Of
the turf
Mambrino BERTHE is brown colt, by
the stallion own brother to Lady Thorn,
out of a mare by Mambrino Chief; was
foaled in May, 1868, and was named
after Dr. Herr second son, BERTHE. On
the 18th of November last he was driven
mile in harness, on the Buckeye
Course, in I'm, .42fs. After a rest Of
twenty minutes he was driven another
mile in Pm. Ais. In twenty minutes
more he was driven two miles in 5m.
29Is., which is better than Pm. ASS. He
was, at that time, Is hands inches
high. a
Mr.. Bonner, who saw him while on a
visit to DR.. Herr, short time since, says
that he never saw horse that trotted
with so much ease; that he is nearly as
large as the Auburn horse, is more rangy,
and has more stride.
In view of these facts it is hardly sur
prising that Mr.. Bonner should speak
with indifference of the vaunted per-
formances o! the California wonder. In
Mr. B, estimation Mambrino BERTHE is
the wonder of the world.
He was shipped to New York last
Monday in charge of his colored groom,
John, and accompanied by beautiful
bay saddle mare purchased for Robert
Mintrum, the great shipping merchant
of New York, by Colonel Sanders Bruce,
the popular editor of that popular peri
odical, the Turf Field and Farm. Ned
Forrest stock out of Abdallah mare,
was bought of II. N. Frisbee, Of Gym,
thiana; cost, $500.

An EIOpement extraordinary.
From the New Orleans Times.1

A short time ago prominent and
very wealthy citizen, whose daughter
was absent on a visit to Bayou Sara, re-
ceived a letter from that young lady,
stating that she was on the eve of con-
tracing marriage with a well-known
gentlaman residing on the coast, and
that she would not return home before
that event. The missive we hear was
acknowledged by a peremptory order to
return instanter, but the lady having
consulted other near relatives concern
ing the proposed important step, de-
clined to obey her fathers demand.
During recent trip of the steamer
Robert Il. Lee, her landing at Bayou
Sara was the signal for the appearance
of the couple, accompanied by gen
tleman friend. A stateroom was secured
in the ladies cabin for the fairer passen-
ger, but the gentlemen, both of whom
were armed, remained forward just as
the Lee was backing out, who should
come on board but the irate father. He
at once saw Captain Cannon, and stating
that his daughter was a fugitive on
board, demanded her return. Captain
Cannon replied that he had no control
over the passengers of his boat, and
could not think of acceding to the
demand, or even in the, gentleman's
then excited state Of mind, OF permitting
him to enter the ladies' cabin. During
the conversation the Lee backed out,
and the father, after some further dis
cussion, concluded to apply to the au-
thorities at Natchez. When the Lee
touched the wharf at that place he at
once jumped ashore, and without much
difficulty secured the services of
lawyer. In the meantime the yawl
boat of the Lee was lowered, and
the bridal party started for Vidalia,
on the opposite side of the river. Court
was fortunately in session, and the cou-
pie having been formerly married, re-
turned to the boat The father, in the
meantime, was left behind, but taking
an up-river boat, succeeded in reaching
Vicksburg ahead of the Lee. Fearing
some outbreak, the friends of the bride
groom took the precaution to procure a
warrant for the arrest of the father, and
on the arrival of the Lee that gentleman
was taken into custody. He was per-
mitted afterward TO see his daughter in
the presence Of her husband, and the
bridal party then started for Tennessee,
leaving the discounted parent behind.

Newspapers in New York.

From the New York Express.
Three daily New York city newspa-
pers, two -evening, and one morning,
have died within month. and more
must be on their last legs. None Of the
dead journals had long life; but they
lived long enough to lose at least three
or four handsome fortunes. 1t takes
long years Of labor and large invest
ments in capital to establish or maintain
a successful journal, if live newspaper
is printed, with kilograms from Europe
and at home. a mmo
Since the Express was established, in
this city alone over sixty daily papers
have started and died, after losing at
least twenty millions of dollars. There
is no business more precarious than
journalism, unless it is mercantile busi-
ness, in which it has been proved that
in long course of years from ninety
three to ninety-five per cent. fail in bust
ness

An Illinois man who had his watch
stolen from his pocket, and advertised
that the thief must return it if he would
avoid trouble, received before IL o'clock
on the same day three watches, and a
letter promising a fourth if he would
send twenty-five dollars and ask no ques-
tions.
A good way to get sick, is to go shop
ping every day in the week, eat ice cream
and cakes for dinner, drink strong tea
for supper to strengthen the nerves, and
fret the balance of the time because you
haven't sufficient means to buy all the
fancy goods displayed.
The newest thing in the mantle line is
a short sack, with or without sleeves, and
a cape, forming in effect double cape.
Fine black cashmere, richly embroidered
in black and white, is the favorite mate
rial. Open or flowing sleeves are in
much better taste than close ones.

The body of soldier killed at Chicka-
mauga was recently exhumed, after hav-
ing been buried for seven years. 1t
presented a hfe-like appearance, and the
mustache, which was closely shaved at
the time of his death, had grown nearly
an inch. A century ago this phenomenon
would have been regarded as giving con-
elusive evidence that the man had been
buried alive. Modem research has, how
ever, abundantly proved that both the
hair and nails frequently continue to
grow for some time after death.
