Pipckney Rollins of the Seventh District OF
North Carolina, informs the revenue bureau
that Special Deputy R. H. Patterson, and the

arrests, on the It'll ult. On the 10th they de-
stroved four distilleries and made eight arrests
in Mcdowell county. Eight distillerles were
next destroyed and seventeen arrests made 10
Burke county. There was reliable Information
of twenty or twenty-five more being In opera
ton ia South Mountain 1.-THE same locality as
the last eight mentioned, but further progress
was put a stop to by Lieut. Ma1st and Deputy
Marshal Beaver being arrested Oh a bench war
rant from Judge Clark, for destroying property.
The collector, 10 his report, deprecates the
action of the Judge as being an encouragement
to law breakers. He proposes, however, to make
another effort in the same direction, and says:
Il hope to be supported to any extent by the
strong arms of the government.
Mr. O'CLARENCE's HENS got into the next
yard, and scratched up the garden on Friday,
aud the woman of the house came to see Mrs.
O'Clarence aboutit and war Of words ensued.
When Mr.. O. Clarence came home, Mrs. O'Clar-
ence was terribly excited. and gave him hys-
terical account of the affair, winding it up with
shower of tears and this triumphant declara-
ton: swell, don't care! | had my new al
paca on, any way; the mean thing.

Marshal Bazaine,s Career.

Francis Achilles Bazaine was born in
1911, He received his education at the
Polytechnic school of Paris, and entered
the army in 1881. Next year he served
in Algeria, and in 1896 was promoted to
q ~lieutenancy, receiving the o of the
legion of honor on the field of battle.
During the two years following he
fought against the Carlists in Spain.
and having been raised tn the rank of

where he saw lorg and active service.
In 1853 he had become a brigadier-gen-
eral, and distinguished himself at the

noted to be o general of division. and
in 1856 was appointed inspector of sew
eral divisions of infantry. He accom-
panied the expedition to Mexico in
1862, and in 1863 succeeded Marshal
Forey as its commander. He received
in succession the oommandership and q

A California Racer.

The Morning Call of San Francisco
has the following concerning Thad Ste.
vens, the winner in the recent race
Thad Stevens, we are afraid, led a very
neglected life when a colt. He was SO
ungainly, and promised sc little as far
as his "points" and performances could
be estimated, that for a time he was
ANONYMOUSLY consigned to life of ser
vitude-was even broken to he n %trOtter,
and only made his name, now q toIera-
bly, famous one, by n gradual exhibit
ton of extraordinary powers on the
turf. His blood is good thoroughbred
although some people say he has a few
drops of ignoble blood in bis v%eins),
and he has n vital power perfectly mar
Vicious in elasticity, and has staying
powers not less wonderful. Yet, in the
stable and out of it, amid the huzzas of
a multitude, or in quiet under the hands
of his groom, old Thad is invariably MS
docile and unexcited as q sh~ort-horn COW
Illuminating, and yet as much Mt COM
mand as n steam-engino, bringing into
play energies that have never been over
stretched.
So promisc-uothing was Thad in his
early career that the record of his life
is extremely meagre and unsatisfactory.
He will attain nine years of age next
spring. Mr.. Lathrop bred him, having
given $500 for the use of his dam. As
Thad rose into colthood the expeota-
tions formed of him here dissipated
warmed to it's natural point, resisting
like thin mir, his gait in running Civ
ing no indication of the fine quail
ties he now possesses. He soon
passed out Of the hands of Mr.. Lathrop.
As a three-year-old he was offered to
George, Treat by the CANDLES, but
George, who at that time had the Pioneer
track, declined to purchase. A year
afterward Treat bought Venture from
the CANDLES, and to clinch the bargain
they made him a present of Thad.
Even at this period Thad showed him.
self indifferently on the turf, and was
regarded MS q scrub animal, that might
be turned to any kind of work. 1t is
certain that Thad's first notable trial as
a r]ace-horse was when no other animal in
Treats stable could be obtained to fill
up, and on this occasion he passed I'M
der the wire a victor, beating Chandler
in a two-mile and repeat. This race
took place over the Pacific track. and
it gave Thad his first honors. He had
run in M or two other contests. but
never successfully. The race with
occurred after his defeat ut
Stockton, where n little lameness threw
ont of the race. It is recorded of
that he beat Compromise and
Bloomsbury in q two-mile and repeat
race at Sacramento, but one of these
got lame and the other sulked so
that Thad, who never loses his temper.

OF these three are but four that show
an increase over the earnings of the

it is by no means regarded as an unfa-
