'sThe Queen of the Turf"
2;17 1.2 on a Slow Track.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 16. - Goldsmith
Maid trotted the first heat at MinneapoI is
in 2:1St, second 2:174, third not yet
heard from.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Sept. 16.-The
great feature of the Fair to day was the
race between Goldsmith Maid and Lucy,
which took place at two O'Clock P. NJ. and
ended in victory for Maid, the queen of
the turf, in three straight heats, as fol-
lows: 2:22i, 2:173 and 2:2l. On the
second heat the mare Lucy came in only
neck behind her opponent, thus making
better time than before in her history. All
horsemen agree that the time made by
these horses to-day was remarkable, in
view of the fact that the track was built
this year. Owing to this fact and the
sandy nature of the soil, it gave way be-
meath the hoofs of the horses. The track
is considered slow, and therefore it is q
much greater feat than the time made in
Milwaukee. The horses were in splendid
condition, and trotted the second heat
with apparent ease. Mr.. Dohle thinks he
will easily go below his Milwaukee time
at the first favorable opportunity.

OF the, sentence of the commune prison
ers, 'Says that the sentence of transporta-
| tio'A passed upon Asst, Billoray, Champy,

still regarded in Paris as q mockery OF

The very next revolution that hap
pens these men will, as a matter of course,
be set at liberty and commence their old
] trade as patriotic agitators. Ten years
hence we may live to see the very men
who have just been condemned Ministers
of State in France, but had they been all
all sent into penal se1vitude, if only for
couple of years each, their degradation
would have been complete-they would
never have troubled the pubic peace
again. As this punishment is looked
upon Ss ridiculous when compared with
his crimes against the State, Courbet's
sentence, six months Imprisonment and
twenty pounds fine, is regarded as mere
farce. With the exception of Ferre, all
the prisoners were surprised at the leni-
ency of the punishment awarded them.

Boston, Sept, 16.-SevHral members
of the Louisiana Presidential Committee,
now in Boston, had conference with
Gov. Claflin, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee. Alleged outrages
of Federal officials at New Orleans are
duly represented. The impression here
is that the conduct of Messrs. Casey,
Packard and others was totally unjustifi-
able. 1t is believed that President Grant
will immediately remove the guilty Off
cials, unless he decides to accept the re-
soonsibility of their acts. The calling of
the convention in the customhouse, if it
were attempted in Boston, would be suf-
ficient to cause the popular vote. The
people would go TO Boston Common first
and hold their convention there. The
committee express much qualification
with their reception.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A correspond

that the most melancholy intelligence
comes from Russia concerning the pro-
gress of the cholera in that country. The

hausted its virulence, though in some
places there was a slight diminishing of
the number of deaths. European Russia
is entirely overrun by the disease.
Destitution and uncleanliness, the busy
hsndmsids everywhere of disease, have
in Russia an ally more powerful even
than they, superstition. A large proper
ton of the peoples food consists of sour,
half fermented eatsbles and driDkables.

attained and the epidemic kept in check.

PERsECUTIONs OF THE JEWS.

Z 4
Tne powers of this world once more
turn their attention to the jews. They
s.e TO be re-regulated in Algeria. e.,
their liberties, due to NJ Cremieux, are
TO be restricted in Difference to the noble
savage of the country, to whom Jewish
iudustry and Jewish peacefulness are
very offensive. In q rather better spirit
their affairs are being taken up now also
In Prussia. where, ever since 1S47, the
date of that famous '9andtag, they have
b en- divided into synagogal communities,
with some sort of shsdowy autonomy.
Several attempts to place their affairs on
a somewhat more satisfactory basis have
hitherto failed under the auspices of the
Cultus-M Minister. This time, however,
soms recognized authorities belonging to
cir own body have been invited to re-
d 1T and to propose plans for the amelio-
ration of the status quo; and as Herr
rsVon Muller will probably require long
rest after his return from the waters, some
steps in advance may probably be taken
shortly. At the same time Russian
statesmen are celebrating on the future
position of the Jews in the Russian EN-.
pire. Bsfare 1861, no Jew was per-
mitted to domicile in Central Russia, nor
was he allowed to enter Russian territory
without q special permit; and when
ever he wanted to stay more than
enty-four hours at place, he had to
pay q heavy price for the indulgence.
Since 1851 all Russia has been opened to
them, and the question of finally regulst-
ing their position in the Empire proves
TO be one of no little difficulty. A pro-
iect of q law has already been laid be-
fore the Imperial Council, but no decision
has been arrived at as yet. The ScIateSSche
Zeitlfng tells a story spropos of the de-
bates there, which is not only apocryphal,
but has done duty on at least dozen oc-
casions, though it has never, perhaps,
been told so circumstantially. When, IN
1851, it became q question of existence
OF non existence with the Jows In Poland,
Count BludoE, the President of the In
perisl Council, received, the day before
7xlhe question was to come on, q deputation
CONSISTING of three Jewish bankers from

A PLEASANT INDUCEmENT TO
MARRIAGE.

MARRIAGE.

of New York, says:
"A marriage In high life" took place
few days ago under rather curious cir
cumstances. About three years ago, the
Earl of Normanton died, leaving person.
atty valued at So, 900, 900. He had two sons
and one daughter, and in his will was q
clause to the effect that he believed that
happiness in this world was fully attain
BILE only in the married slate; that he re-
GREETED his second sOA was single, and
that unless he married by certain given
date he was only TO enjoy comfortable
competence, whereas if he would mate by
the time named he should have hand
some fortune. About month ago near
relative of Mr.. Agar told me that, appar-
emily, there were no signs of his intention
to comply with the terms of his fathers
will; but two days ago the announcement
of his marriage TO Tasmanian lady, ap
pesred in the papers. | may add, in this
connection, that the bulk of his fathers
fortune came out of the revenues of the
Irish Church. The first Earl of Norman
ton was an Irish archbishop, and, in COM
mon with many prelates of the pre-emi-
nently worldly establishment to which
he belonged, aspifed to and attained the
honor of temporal as well as spiritual
