MINNEAPOLIS.
An Exciting Day on the Turf
Goldsmith Maid to Run To-Day

MNNEAPoIs, Sept 15.-The races to-
day have been of the most exciting char
acter, the principal one being between
Western Girl and North Star Mambrino,
formerly known as R. A. Alexander, for
a purse of $4,000. Before starting the
Girl sold in pools at ten and third for
Msmbrino. In the first send off, the
word was given just as the mare went in
q break, which left her at great
disadvantage. Many thought the start
was not just, and looked for a Wig
orous protest from her driver at the
close of the heat, which was won by
Msmbrino in 2:273. Mr.. Hickocks, how
ever, treated the matter as an unavoida-
BILE accident, and only requested the
judges to start him on a trot in the follow
ing heats. His manly and gentlemsnly
treatment of the matter was so fully ap-
preciated by the association, (the race
being wen by Mambrino in three straight
heats of 2:27t each) that a fine silver
service on exhibition was purchased and
presented to him, with happy speech
by ex-United States Senator Wilkinson.
Tomorrow comes the great trial be-
tween Lucy and Goldsmith Maid. The
track has been carefully measured to-day
and every preparation made for quick
time.

MEXICO,

CIrY OF MEXICO, Sept. 2, via Indian
ola, Sept. IA preliminary meeting of
Cong gress took place yesterday, the num-
Der of members present being 147. The
whole number of Congress is 227. The
meeting resulted favorably for Juarez,
President of the temporary organization.
The committee on the credentials of
Juatez were chosen by a vote of seventy
nine to sixty-eight. Being alarmed at
this vote, the Opposition abandoned the
hall, depriving the meeting of a quorum
until evening. This is strongly lndica-
tive of the success of Juarez, though the
arrival of other members may make a
change.
1t is stated that Diaz is for peace and
will personally move against any revolu-
tionary atterapt.

been issued in Zscstecas, and forced

From the St Louis Times, August 81.
Near Glenwood, Iowa, resides James
T. Anderson, aged twenty six. Three
years ago he died from his neck down.
ward. His head, however, is alive, and
more vigorous and active than before the
body, which it once governed, ceased to
be vital. At the age of two, James
father died, and his mother soon married
again. At the sge of three he was
tossed several times by an angry
cow. Shortly sfterwsrd, while he was
eating bread and milk, a rattle snake Joined
him, and when the two had finished
his snskeship made his bow and retired.
At five years old horse ran away with
him, and made for stable, across the
entrance of which was bar. The horse
reached in under bar, and his mother
seized him just in time to save his life.
He grew up active and strong, and was
fond of sports. He became good gym
mast.
james, at the time of the accident that
left him with dead body and living
head, was fine, handsome young man.
He weighed two hundred pounds, and
there was not q superfuous ounce of flesh
on his body.
One afternoon, when on visit to an
uncle at Glenwood, Iowa, he was exer-
cising on pole placed from one tree to
another in back yard. lie had on a
pair of CATERS, tipped with patent leather.
He swung down from the pole by his
feet; the leather slipped and he fell. He
struck his peck just where it joins the
shoulders. He was bewildered but per-
fectly conscious. His body felt as though
smashed to a jelly. He experienced a
horrible tingling, and when the doctor
came he told him not to touch him as his
body was broken to pieces. His neck
was broken; inflammation set in, and all
thought his end was come. To the eur
prise of all, in few days he began to
mend. He was shortly after removed to
his stepfather's house, where he still re-
sides.
Time hung heavily on his hsnds, and
ne resolved 10 learn to write with his
mouth. He accomplished this, and, as
he says in letter to Mr.. J. K. Nutting,
he soon wrote tolersbly good mouth.
He is now trying to paint, and hopes by
this means to earn something for his sup
port. He has been, and is still ia, ten
derby cared for by bis sister, herself
cripple, and speaks in the highest terms
of his stepfather, who, though a poor
man, has shown him every kindness
His worst enemies are the q es, which
buzz about his face. He holds leafy
twirl in his mouth, however, and manages
TO tWril it about in wonderful way, and
drive off his tormentors. This case ia
without q parallel, except that of John
Carter, of England, who was injured in
a similar way, and who became famous
painter.

On the authority of two persons of
veracity, correspondent of the Albany
Journal tells this: 'Phe saw a wasp
riding on a green worm one and half
inches long. How far he had ridden they
did not know; but after they saw him
they watched him until he had ridden all
of twenty-five feet. Occasionally the
worm would stop, lie motionless as though
he were dead, when the wasp, after q
little, would spur him up, and then the
worm would go on. The wasp would keep
the worm in as directa course as he could.
After while the worm stopped, and the
wasp dismounted and quickly ran and re-
moved a little stone or piece of ground
about two inches from where the worm
lay, and then seizing the worm by the
head, drew it into the hole. Presently
the wasp came out, put on the gravel top
over the hole, covered the stone over, and
seemed to be getting ready to fly, when
they killed him, and then dug down about
two inches and dug out the worm, which
was dead

WAsHNeroN, Sept 15.-The Secretary
of War has sent the Judge Advocate the
general communication of Gen. Brice in
regard to the Hodge defalcation and
charges are to be preferred against Hodge.
An application of Hodge TO be released
from confinement has been refused.
Brice asks for the fullest investigation
of his conduct in the affair.
Secretary Boutwell, will investigate the
implications in the Treasurer's Office in
connection with the Hodge defalcstion.
IL is said by prominent officials that there
is in no way by which the Treasurer's
Office can have knowledge of the ir-egu-
larities of the defalcation of paymasterss
the only duty of the Treasurer being to
honor all checks of the postmaster drawn
on regular warrants to the extent of cred

status of the Cotton Crop.
The cotton crop reports purporting to
have come from the Department of Agri-
culture during the past month have not
been genuine. There are reports that the
injuries by the boil worm and caterpillar
are mainly in Mississippi and Louisiana,
but there is no evidence that general or
serious loss from insects is probable. The
drawbacks, though greater than those re-
ported in September, last year, are not
sufficiently serious to excite apprehension
of greatly deprecated yield. They are
reported each year in some portions of the
cotton area. In the records last year
there was considerable complaint of
damages to the cotton crop from rust,
worm and unfavorable weather. These
facts do not point to an enlargement of
the expectation hitherto INDUCED in. If
they are reliable, the most favorable sea-
son could scarcely bring the crop to ex-
ceeding three and one-third millions bales.
If the growing season should be short or
unfsVorsble, three millions bales will be
a coed result, and with combination of
unfaVorsble circumstances, the product
might be still further reduced.
