Death % the Famous French Racer
Shirt of the Times

De8tn Ga the Famous French Racer.
Spirit of the Times
We learn from oar English exchanges
that this celebrated French stallion, the
sire of the still more renowned race-horse
Gladiateur, died at the Horse de Danger on
Easter Sunday. His celebrity as asire will
rest on his great son Gladiator, who won
she two thousand guineas, Derby, and St.
Leger, thus livaling the previously I'M
egualed achievement Of West Australian,
the only horse who had won the triple hon
Ors of the three great three-year-old events
in England. Admiral Rous, the Nestor OF
the British turf, whose racing experience
extends over nearly half a century, pro-
soanced Gladiator the best race-horse
that had appeared on the turf during that
period.
Some of Gladiaieur'S produce have been
imported into this country, Mr.. Belmont
having the two-year-old colt Matador, dafn
NoRpareil, engaged in the Nursery Stakes
at Jerome Park this fall and in the Sarato-
"a and Kentucky Stakes at Saratoga this

Of imported blood has a chestnut colt by

More AbOuf the Disfingue weddings
to Come OF Soon.

- SOlftt VII SOOhs
Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial
Society is all ageg over the brilliant we'd
diHss promised us IN this and next month.
The wedding of Miss Grant with MIR.
SartOris, whose mother, etc, etc, will take
place Oh the 2Ist of May, in the East Room
at the White House. Miss Grant has a
sweet face, but without intellect In any
feature. Of her disposition every one
speaks well. She inherits her sweetness OF
sRanner and engaging simplicity from her
mother, whose one only weakness since
she came into the White House has been
the -four horses" Latteiiy, -Four horses
have only been. affected by HelmbOld, and
Fisks, and Mansfelds, and people of such
Tx, and therefore we are sorry to see Mrs.
Grant, whom We admire and respect, drawn
by the number.
Miss Sherman, the gentle and amiable
slaughter of the General, who has come
buck to us from Europe, fall Of health and
spirits, will be married early in June, to
Lieutenant Fitch, who will resign his posi-
ton in the navy, and enter on the pursuit
of some lucrative business in St. Louis.
The wedding will take place az St. Alloy
sius Church, and the reception at the house
of the General. There is no lady more be-
s0yed in Washington than Miss Sherman
beloved for her kind, wOmanly ways.
Another wedding soon tostake place in
the fashionable world is that of Miss Blair
with Mr.. Janin. Miss Blair is tie grand
daughter Of old f. Blair, from Silver
Spring, and the daughter of the late James
Blair. Her mother was Miss Jessup.
daughter of General JeSsup, United States
Army, and famous for beauty and wit.
They have spent much time abroad, and
the Young ladies have returned accom-
pliShed scholars-not with smattering.
but full knowledge. They speak fluently
five or six languages, play delightfully."- on
Harp and piano, and are gentle, winning
girls. The wedding will take place on The
21st of Nav.
Miss johnson, daughter Of Mrs. Rosa
Vertner johnson jeffrey, will be married
in October TO Lieutenant Downs Wilson.
Mrs. Charlton, nee Campbell, viii saii
in two weeks for her husbands home in
England. Miss Charlton, sister of the
groom, will accompany them. She is a fine
looking English girl, with life and health
an every step of her firm tread, enioying the
novelties of both the scenery and people
which have come before her notice. She
came over to attend her brothers wedding.
Miss Campbell, now Mrs. Charlton, is not
considered here the great beauty your pa
peTs have represented her. She is tall and
rath rfine-lOoking, but not beautiful. She
lacks utterly that repose of manner so es-
Sential TO an elega ut woman. She was
married in the Cath Ollie Church, but has
not lefiiher own church, where she is very
regular in attendance. The Charitons, for
generations, have neen Catholic, and the
opposition TO TIE wedding of the son to Miss
Campbell WIS on the ground entirely of re-

THE DEADLY RAZOR.
Jackson Lady Cnts Her Own
Throat from Ear to Ear.
jackson Ceurier-Hersld, May 10.

jackson CeUrier=Hereld, May To-
Yesterday morning the community was
shocked by the announcement that Mrs.
Lucy Harriet Rhodes, a most eStimable
widow lady, who has been living in this
city for number Of years, had committed
suicide by cutting her threat with a razor.
The facts, so far as could be elected by sur
reporter, are substantially as follows Mrs.
Rhodes had been tnwell Tor several days
previously te enscting the horrible tragedy
at the time, being temporarily insane.
Since Thursday last, on Sc seral occasions,
she said to members of her family that she
wished she was dead. At times. whiiu
labOring under mental hallueination, she
imagined that sUtiie one was in
the room trying to kill her; or
that the water in the well
was pOiSOned-at other times she <ee-,el
perfectly rational, Dr. Jehn tenner was
called in last ThoTE,iSy and prescribed for a
diSOrleTsd stomach. The suspicious Of the
family were n.w aroused, but never antiei-
naled that she meditated Selt-de-;stssiiiOn.
Soon after O'Clock yesteINl4S morning she
got up, dressed herself and appeared to be
about as us;ial, though her daughters no
ticca that she was looking in the wardrobe
for something, but they saw her take Moth
ing out. There were two old rasors In tlIS
wardrobe, and it seems abe toofh one OF
them and went inle a garden, to a small
house in the rear of the dwelling, where
In q few minutes, she was found by hel
daughter with her throat cut from ear 10
ear, nearly severing her head from he,
body. She was fifty-two years Of age; and
no cause can be assigned for the rash act
except that she was laborinS under tempo
raw insanity.

Mrs. VAN Corr, the evangelist who
has been eXhOrting in the South, saws that
at one of her prayer meetings a negro
brother prayed: "Oh Lord, send dy angel
TO pin de wings on Sister Bancot's heels.
dat she may fly troo de world preachin' de
everlastin' gO-pel." And one added.
"Lord! give wings on her shoulders, too,
or the preaching will not have effect, for
she'll fly upside down."

The latest and rather insignificant nov
city in Paris IS the appearance Of apparently
genuine five franc pieces with the imprint
of the heal of young Napoleon, and the
words "NlpOleon ", Empeeur," on the
one side, and the imperial arms on the
other. Toe word "Essai,7 engraved in
small letters on the coin, protects it against
governm n. interference.
