/ FALL MEETING OF THE MARYLAND JOCKEY
iCLUB.-Tbe New York World, in an elabo-
rate review Of the fall raae-meetings, ha5the
following on the meeting of the Maryland
Jockey Cub r.. ,..., .-.
"Following sharp after the Jerome Park
comes what is usually the most enjoyable
meeting of the season, and that is the fall
meeting Of the Maryland Jockey Club, which
will be run this year on Tuesday, Wednes'
day. Thursday, and Friday, October 81, %,
%, and "a. The programme is magnificent
one, and includes such Wpll-knoWn races as
the Dixie Stakes, two miles, for three-year.
oldS, when Count D'Orsav, The lll-Used,
Strachino, and Tom Bowling will probably
meet and settle any disputes that may arise at
jerome Park while for attendants they will
have such horses as Lizzie Lucas, Merodac,
Satire, Wildidle, Felowcraft, and Catesby,
to do the running and take their chances
at the main stake. The Central StlkeS, for
tWo-year-olds, one nile, is almost always a
good race. During the meeting several post
stakes will be run, one mile and a quarter
| for gentlemen riders, weller weights, which
hes six nominations: also a stccplc-chaSc
! post stake, which has five entries, while on
| the last day there will he race of four-milc
heats for good purse, the entrance to which
| is free. i
"This, no doubt, to the great delight o
stab!c-oWnerS, will bring the northern cam
pagn to Il close, and the horses will 20 al
| once into winter quarters, except those who
intend to winter South, and they will proba
bly, be heard from during the Natchcz, Miss.
New Orleans, La, ard Mobile. Ala, meet

TAXING DowS THE YAyKEEs.-An Atchi-
son, Kansas, paper relates the story OF q
hulking six-foot customer, who, a few DAYS
ago, appeared on the street In that city,
causing the timid to tremb!e and rebels to
quake by reason Of loud mouthings on his
part in relation to the war. He was with
Grant; had faced the lannon's mouth, and
with his good right hand had used his sabre
and moved down the rebels rs the farmer
does the grass. He had killed something
less than thousand "rebs," and wasn't
through yet. No, sir, lie was Gan old
fashioned Republican" and expected TO live
long enough to plant many rebel yet He
became quite enthusiastic on the subject, and
would have been blowing to this moment,
probably, had not slender-buit man who
once wore the gray come up at the time.
The rebel.slayer addressed his conversation
to him, and there is where he lost himself,
for the rebel turned and ordered him to in
stantly clear out. This he refused to do,
whereupon the star-and. bar man got hold of
the star-spaDgled fellow by the collar. and
Immediately begun using his foot. the toe of
which seriously dsarranged the others coat
tail. A noise followed each application of
leather that sounded like the coming to-
gether of two Infatuated rams. The rebel
Killer remarked at every kick, '.Ali right,
sir, all right; just let go of me and I'll co."
He went.
We take the above from the New York
Times, the paper that dislkes Mr.. DAvIs's
speeches because they tend to keep up bad
feeling between the. North and the South.
I'VE have changed words in dozen or more
cases to make the story suit this latitude.

running that she died on the 18th of
August some time in the first century,
aged seventy-two years according to
some, and one hundred and fifty-nine
according to others. Upon her death
she is supposed to have made triumph
ant entry into heaven; and all the apos-
ties are related to have been miracu-

tons Of the earth in which they were
preaching to her death bed. st. Thomas,
it is said, shortly afterward desired to
see her body so earnestly that he opened
the grave, and nothing but grave clothes
were found IN it, her body having been
transferred at death to the upper realms.
Many curious stories are related Of her
miraculous transformation.
