GnmblIng OF a Customer,

A wealthy bachelor, who break
fasts every morning in one of the
most fashionable restaurants on the
Boulevard des Italiens, in Paris, is,
or, rather was, very attentively
served by q waiter whose palm he
generally crossed, and never with
the yiler metal. OF course the
wealthy bachelor always had the
same seat, a seat by a window look
ing on the ever animated boulevard,
hot plates, dishes served promptly,
but not too fast; in fine, Bendict
had an excellent servant. But dur
ing the last week, Benedict had
been unable to get this excellent
servant; another servant hangs
around him, and tries his best to
supply all his wants; still the new
face is not the old face, and what
annoys Benedict most is, that he
occasionally catches glimpSes Of his
old servant, and gives him most
sorrowful glances. Benedict has ex.
amined the matter, and has dis.
covered that his old servant is ad.
dicted to gambling. One evening
having lost all his money, he staked
his best customer-Benedict- and
lost him.

THE FIFTY NILE MUSTANG RACE
Two Intrepid Riders and the Time
They Made with Fen Horses

Two Intrepid Riders and the Time
They Made with Ten Horses
Each.
San Francisco CALL
The fifty-mile mustang race on
the Bay District Course was decid-
edly successful. This species Of
turf sport has it's merits outside of
its novelty. The race was for $500
side, fifty miles out, each contes-
tant to be allowed ten horses, and
required to change horses every
mile. The parties to the match
were H. N. Mowbry and J. P.
Smith, both men whose business is
in the saddle, and who have become
Injured by yearso of experience to the
disagreeable frmness Of the Spanish
saddle and the unpleasant peculiar
tiles of the mustang horse.
The quarter stretch was crowded
with bucking, rearing and kicking
half-breed horses, among which it
was dangerous to be safe" At 3
o'clock the judges ordered the
riders up, and they set off with
promptness. The horses used by
Mr.. Smith we're notably superior to
those of Mowry; but he was delib-
crate in his mounts and dismounts,
while Mowry threw himself from
one horse to another almost with
out losing his headway. BY this
means he more than made up for
the difference in the speed Of his
horses. He was repeatedly timed,
and he at no time occupied more
than from three to five seconds in
making a change At the close of
the tenth mile Mr.. Smith, in at
tempting to mount an eyil-disposed
bronco, received severe kick Just
below the right knee, which rem
dered him very stiff and sore. To
this mishap he ascribes his defeat,
With few exceptions, Smith led to
the end of the fortieth mile. AT
this stage Mowry turned loose his
choicest horses, and at the end OF
the forty-eighth mile was a full
quarter ahead. Smith rode desper-
ately to close it up, but without
success, and Mowry came under
the wire winner of the race and
money by 200 yards.
Time-1O miles, 26 minutes; &c
miles, 81 minutes rs miles, 65
minutes; 80 miles, n minutes; 4C
miles, l hour, 43 minutes; so miles,
2 hours and 8 minutes.
Mr.. Mowry, the winner, insists
that he won the race upon hi'
merits, and that Mr.. Smiths acci-
dent made no difference in the re.
suit. He has ridden several races
of this kind in this State, and wor
a reputation as a daring and skill
full horseman. 1t is his intention
to visit Philadelphia, taking a mum
ber of California horses, and in
! tending to challenge any man, Of
the world, to ride against him il
long distance races.

Cable special to N. Y, Herald
Miss Mary Kemble, or Kate
Field, as she is known to her friends
in New York, made her first APP
pearance on the London stage on
Thursday last at the Gaiety Thea
ter. She assumed the role Of ''Vol-
ante" in Honeymoon, Geneyieye
Ward taking the part Of "Juliana."
As her debut was entirely unan-
nounced and unheralded she must
be said to have won a complete sue
cess.
Speaking of her acting the
Atheneum says: "This actress
showed much intelligence and vi
vacity, and her performance eyinced
a genuine feeling for comedy" The
Globe says: "There was some
traces of nervousness, but her i'm
personation was bright, animated
and intelligent" Other papers say
she played with arch unexaggera-
tion and viyaoity, and looked the
part to life.

Colonel Frank NJ. Etting, of

Gawen Laurie and Nicholas Lucais,
trustees, to John Fenton. 1t is

has been folded, and contains three
immense seals Of the members of
the first part. In it appears the
names of "King Charles the Sec

the land had been granted.
New Jersey had been sold by the
Duke of York to Lord Berkley,
Baron Of Stratton and Sir George
Cataret. One moiety, being that
Of Lord Berkley, was afterward
sold to John Fenwiok, in trust, fol
Edward Byllinge.
Edward Byllynge, being greatly
in debt, then presented it to his
creditors, who prevailed upon Will
liam Penn to become, conformity
with Laurie and Lucais, trustees
for the same.
Among the creditors Of Edward
Byllinge were a number of person
living in Yorkshire, who sent owe
a deputation to look after their in

ant whose Conscience Made him
Murder.
Pail Mall Gazette. i
The Russian Government has
been unsuccessful hitherto in its at
tempts to stamp out a religious
sect known as the Skoptzi, or
"white doves" the chief tenet of
whose faith is the duty of celibacy.
1t is not very long since large
number of these people, including
their chief, Koudrine, were put
upon their trial, which exceeded in
length if not in interest, that of the
unhappy nobleman," to whom
reference is occasionally made in
the House Of Commons; and now a
fresh association of Skoptzi has
been discovered in Southern Russia,
and 300 of their number are about
to be tried at Simpheropol. The
strength of this sect is to be found
in the wealth Of several of its most
Jealous adherents, and in the min
gled ignorance and superstition Of
the people among whom converts
are sought. To illustrate this COM
binahon of two not very attractive
qualities, the st. Petersburg Jour
nal mentions case recently tried
at the Moscow aSsizes. A peasant,
accused Of numbering an old wo.
man who was upon pilgrimage,
was asked by the judge why he had
committed the crime, and he re.
piled that he was driven to it by
hunger. The Judge pointed out
that the provisions which the vic
tim had in her basket were moi
touched, upon which the prisoner
exclaimed, in quite an indignant
tone; "Do you take me for hea
then? 1t was a Friday, and you sure
ly don't suppose | should eat meat OF
that day." 1t is upon imagination
such as these that the Skoptzi work
and the number of conversions
which they effect is so great tina
the government is getting alarmed
as to their progress. Each section
has its prophet, who presides at the
religious meetings, which are no
