Ii LUCK.-Some people seem born to
be literally smothered by good fortune,
Baron Rothschild's latc exploits on the
turf are surprising instance in point.
When ho won the Derby with Favonius,
and with the rlce pot of money, the
sporting world admired his great luck.
Soon after, with Hannah, he won the
Oaks, soon after again with the same
mare the st. Lcgcr, and now, nstonish-
ing to relate, with Coriande-named AZ.
ter Mr.. Disraeli's radiant heroine-the
Baron has won the Cesarowich. In
other words, in one year he has carried
OF the four highest prizes of the turf
Such n dazzling series Of successes is,
we believe, quite without precedent, and,
II n Roschschild can be spoiled by for.
tune, is enough to turn the coolest of
heads.

A yoIeE PROM UTAH.-Tho character
of the petition from Utah, 80 feet long,
ml signed by about 1850 women of
that Territory, llas been unintentionally
misstated. Instead of being against
polygnmy, it is in favor Of that institI-
ton, md WIS sentto the Executive Man
sion at Washington by Delegate Hooper.
The petitioners say that their husbands
father, sons, and brothers, are now be-
ing exposed to the murderous policy Of
a clique of Federal officers intent on the
destruction ofnn honest, happy, industri-
ous, and prosperous people, and they
therefore ask for the removal of the Fed
eral disturbers Of the peace, or at least
to stOpthe disgrceful court proceedings,
or send candid and trustworthy men to
Utah to investigate the question Of the
constitutional rights AMI liberty Of the
people. The petitioners express their ap-
probation ofpolygamy, asserting that it
was sanctioned by Christ's teachings,
and that the institution Is being per-
verted by Federal officers.
