turned us from the old English channel,
where we had ever been copyists, into
new channels of our own. Jefferson in
his Rip Van Wrinkle could never have
played his part so well had he not COM
bined the thin jolly American with the
Dutchman. Instead ofthis unexclusive-
ness breaking down u humor, it is a
resource for It as inexhaustible as it is
varied. If the power Of man consists in
the multitude OF his afinities, in the fact
that his life is intertwined more with his
fellows of every caste, degree and ma.
tion--if he thus become a more complete
compend Of time, with all its tastes, al
fections, whims and humors-then the
American man ought to be more potent
IN his Individuality than any other.

ancient Rome, %proceedthe great avenues,

Out OF these derivatives from the Old
World we have our originals. The

Spring Races.

Although it has been announced that
no races will come off this season over
the Chickasaw Jockey Club Course, yet
the spring races have already opened.
Yesterday a fine race took place on
Main street, Notwithstanding the fact
that it was Sunday and racing on the
streets is a violation of an ordinance.
A brown nag, gaily caparisoned, risky
AMI named Annie" made a display OF
limb near the Peabody which was not in
accordance with the laws protecting
decency, The patrolmen on the beat
knowing the speed Of the brown nag,
got in a street car and followed her down
to the corner of Union and Main, where
a crowd OF men assembled. Jumping
out Of the car, they gave chase up the
Main street course. Pedestrians left
the sidewalk and occupied the street as
the animals few past, the brown nag
about thirty feet in advance. At Mon.
roe street the heavy peeler gained sew
eral feet, and almost Tapped the fugitive.
Loud cheers foated up from the excited
crowd, and bets of two to one on the
brown nag we're freely offered. Reach
ing the half,mile post at Madison, the
heavy weight dropped back, evidently
blown, and the "browny" skipped off
under r~edoubled speed, ~distancing the
peelers and disappearing around the
turn at Court Square.

The woman Of saxOny.

A correspondent who has been travel
ing in Saxony, has this to say of the
women Of that region:
Here women show more strength and
endurance than many Of. their husbands
and brothers do. They carry on their
broad backs for miles heavier weights
than | should care to lend my shoulders
to. Massive are their legs as the Banyan
root; their hips are as the bows Of q
th~ree.deeSeT. Backs they have like der
ricks; rough hands ike pile.drivers
They wear knee short skirts, slesyes al
elbows, handkerchief. As a rule they
possess animal good nature and vacant
amiability. Seen from a distance in O
hay field, a woman's motions and pos
lures have often an admirable grace,
Her limbs observe harmonious lines. In
raking, STOPPING, tossing the hay, her
action is supple and easy. As she laborE
in the sun she keeps up 6 continuous
good-humored chatter with her compan
ions. her bare arms and legs are
bronzed by summer exposure to heat
and her yisags is of a color almost
Ethiopian.
