JOAQUIN MILLER having announced his
intention of liberating Cuba, hopes are enter
tanned that he will succeed in getting himself
killed in strictly Byronic, romantic and af-
fected way, as becomes him. A single objec-
ton occurs to us. What in that case be-
comes of poor, Mrs. Miller, whom the poets
craze for being romantic, gloomy, grand and
Byronic, and for having domestic difficulties,
has been reduced to the necessity of describing
her Grant lord in lecture as means Of earn
ing bread for herself and family? Propriety
would require her to modify her estimate OF
the poet so much, the moment he was meta
morphosed from living ape into dead he
70, that the piquancy Of her production would
be quite gone and no one would listen to it.
We fear it may be found necessary for Joa-
quin to live.

the most wonderful and startling phenomenon

sound, something like that of shell, but
many fold louder. 1t appeared to be from
eight to ten feet in length and from four to
five feet in diameter, but it was passing with
such swiftness that it may have been many
times larger than it appeared. When first
discovered it seemed to be several hundred
feet above the earth, and was inclning in its
course toward the ground, profusely emitting
great sparks of fire. About minute or two
after it passed cut of sight an awful explosion

THE absurd stories circulated respecting

THE telegraph gives the details of the race
between Lucy and Occident at Treats Park
course, Almeda, Wednesday afternoon, which
drew 10000 people. The track was not in good
condition.; a portion was wet and heavy. Both
horses were in good trim and excellent spirits.
The race was for purse of $500, best three in
five to harness. The pools at noon sold, Lucy
60, Occident 15, and the time pools POI at 40,
and 2:19 and 2:20 at II. A large amount of
money was pending on the race, principally on
time pools. In the first heat Occidentdrew the
pole. A good start was made on the second
scoring, both trotted evenly to the quarter pole,
when Occident broke up and lost badly AT
reaching the half mile the horse there gathered
up and closed the breach within two lengths,
when Lucy passed the score. Time, 2:25a In
the second heat a fine start was made after
considerable scoring. Occident commenced
breaking soon after he got off. The chances of
this heat were lost on passing the first quarter.
Lucy continued to gain to the end, and passing
the score L # Occident distanced Time, 2.2O
Considering the state of the track Lucy's time
created surprise, and great disappointment is
manifested as to the result; and people have
lost confidence in the California horse.
