A LADY who has heard Mr.. Moody
twenty times in England, has heard
the same discourse every time. He
tells the same stories, gets up the same
amount of pathos in the same spot,
and then Sankey bursts forth in his
tremendous lungs with the red-hot
song called Hold the Fort" It's the
music that draws. Philip Phillips,
who STYLED himself "the sweet singer
of Israel used to pull immense
houses, but Sankey is a rOarer, with
new patent tunes and pair of leather
lungs.-NetU York Letter.

aud VIII Rest on Them.
Utica Special aug. ~ to New York sun.
The great event on the Utica track
to. day was the ree-for.all race. The
starters were Goldsmith Maid, Lulu
and American Girl, with the Maid
favOrite in the pools, at SIS to SIS for
the field. The horaes got off well
together. The Maid led at the turn,
the Girl second with Lulu running.
At the quarter stretch the Maid was
FIVE lengths ahead of the Girl, who led
Lulu by several lengths. Lulu drew up
on the Girl on the backstretch, broke
near the three-quaTter stretch, but
quickly caught again. The struggle
on the homestretch was grand. The
Maid won by three lengths, Amer
lean Girl second by a neck.
Time, 2:lS3. On the second heat
pools stood - Maid, $50; field,
$50. The horses got off in the fifth
score. Lulu and the Maid broke at the
turn. The Maid caught quickly, and
at the quarter stretch the positions
were the same as IN the first heat.
Lulu broke three times before she got
to the three-quarter pole, but came
down the stretch at a terrible pace.
The Maid won the heat in 2:174, Amer
lean Girl length and a half behind,
leading Lulu by length. The excite
ment here was intense. In the third
heat the pools were dead. Lulu had
the lead on the send OF and took the
pole at the turn, but broke, and the
Maid went to the front, winning the
heat and race IN 2:16, American Girl
second. Lulu broke badly and was dis
tanced. The widest enthusiasm pre-
vailed, and at the close three cheers
were given by the vast assembly for
Doble and the Maid.
Doble was lifted from the sulky and
hustled about, amid the widest excite
ment. He goes to New York tonight
and will advise the withdrawal of the
Maid from the turf.

DONREFISH.

Chattanooga Commercial, Republican.
Some Southern donkey is writing ar
ticles to the Chicago Times, to prove
that the Southern white people are so
insufferably lazy that they never can
develop their country, except by slave
labor. In this he not only writes him
self down a very stupid Bourbon, but
does what he can to insult and degrade
his neighbors and fellow-citizens. 1t
is astonishing that such twaddle should
be written and printed at this day. If
that man had brains enough to COM
prehend logic and facts, we would IN
dertake to show him that the South
has not only repaired all the tremen-
dous waste and destruction of the war,
but is now, today, actually richer than
she was in 1860. Cant progress in
the physical development of the coun.
try without slave labor!" Good
gracious, old Rip Van Wrinkle Where
have you been snoozing since 1866?

The STRIKING FEEDERS. - Even d
stranger would have observed the unusual
number Of idlers upon the streets yester.
day, Upon almost every corner could
be seen groups OF striking feeders dis
cussing the absorbing questionable re-
suit OF the strike.
AT the Top Mill forty-three machines
were running yesterday, mostly fed by
nailers. None Of the feeders have re-
turned to work, and there is no such
prospect Us yet,
The La Belle feeders are still at work,
and will await the result Of the meeting
to be held on Saturday afternoon before
deciding what course they will take
in the premises,
About seventy feeders yesterday
knocked of at the Riverside, leaving
nearly fifty still at work.
/ The majority Of the Belmont feeders
are still at work, but will probably come
out on Saturday. The cold iron feeders,
about thirty in all, mostly boys, struck
yesterday morning for an increase Corre-
spending to that asked by tho hot iron
feeders.
It was reported upon the street yeSter-
day that the BenwOod feeders had also
struck for the same increase asked for by
the feeders in this city, We arc unable
to substantiate the report,
