DEAR JOURNAL The great event of

say OF the season, was the great four mile
race. You have read full particulars by
this time and it may not be we'll to repeat
the news. But such jam and rush and
crowd never was seen on race course in
this country before. A more orderly and
peaceable crowd never collected. There
was excitement enough about the horses
without the accessories of fights and fight
ing whisky. There was enough of that
AID it would kill at sixty yards around
corner. OF course some of it was drunk,
but the excitement of the Gay worked off
its potent effects with those who mbibed.
l never saw fewer drunken men, fewer
hOodlums at any similar place. There
were hundreds of amusing incidents
which could be recounted, but life is too
short and time too heeting for all. One
representative of the English Turf, when
old Thad came sneaking to the track, fix
ed his inevitable glass, took few squints
and asked-"Aw, can any one tell me-
avis that Thad Stevens" "Yes, that
is Thad." Jaw, it is well, felahs. /

How HE Cor HIS NAME.-Not long
ago died the Col. Russell known in the
Southwest as "Owl RUSSELL" who was
once Henry Clay's private secretary He
was man of intense egotism, whose
chief object in life was to be admired and
notorious. Years and years ago, while
in the Missouri Legislature, he got the
Sou5riqnet which clung to him all the
rest OF his life. and actually carried him
out Of his political career. 1t was dur.
ing a violent debate in which he had
shown an absurd pomposity, that one Of
his political comrades rose and quietly
told little story. He said that one
night Russell, while travelling through
the woods, lost his way, and being a
stranger in that part of the country, be.
camo rather nervous. While in this sorry
plight he suddenly heard voice not fal
away. calling out, "Who, who, who are
you ?" The answer was loud and
prompt: II am Col. William II Rus
sell, for many years prominent member
of the Kentucky Legislature, was Schoo
Commissioner forjthe southern district o.
Kentucky, am now the Representative Of
Galloway county in the Missouri Legisla
ture, am spoken of as the Wing candi
date for next Congress, and | am lost
Who are you ?" OF course the question
was repeated, and the answer was agair
returned with all its linked dignity unit
the audience screamed with laughter ant
greeted poor Russell whenever he daret
to rise with WHO, who, who are you ?
And so he got the name of "Owl Rus

cry of once very popular actress, who
long ago drove the play-goiug public of

caught bright.eyed little girl of thirteen
years filling her basket with Goals from

When the child was brought before the
authorities, Mrs Caroline Whittlesey,
more familiarity known as "Brighton
Pearl" of the D?ury Lane Theatre, ap-
peared in her behalf, aud her calm and
lady-like manner, and pale, careworn face,
were all the eloquence required to release
the little girl from the watchman's grasp
This man to test the woman's words as to
her poverty and destitution, visited her
rude uuplasterel hovel in the bottoms
