HORSES.
The racing season was inaugurated last
week, with usual brilliancy. Jerome Park
was crowded with the fashion Of the city,
and some very good time was made by the
steppers. The amount of money invested
in fast goers in this city is enormous.
Robert Bonner, the Ledger man, has near
ly half-million in this kind Of property;
some of his horses being worth $780, 600, if
they could be bought at all. The Loril-
lards, the Lenoxes, and all rich families
consider it essential to their standing to
have more or less good horse-fesh, and any
tine day there can be seen in the park hun
dreds Of horses who can make time very
low down in the thirties; every young man
OF fashion thinking it necessary to have his
fast horse. The late Helmbold had $780,
600 in horses when he exploded. It is a
pretty sight to see the fast horses out on a
fine day in the park, and the drives there
about; many of the teams being driven by
ladies, who get to be as sldllful with the
whip as their male escorts; women all like
good horses, and it is passion with them

THE RING SUITS.
The city has compromised with Sweeney
for about one-tenth of what he really stole.
This leaves the Sweenys rich; but Boss
Tweed, it is said by those who profess to
know his exact circumstances, will be left
comparatively poor; but the Boss does not
care for that; he made friends when he had
power, and he believes he can rally his old
followers, and be once more the arbiter of
New YORK politics; all he wants is to get
out of Jail, and get chance to utter his
War-cry once more. The old gangs who
never had SO generous paymaster will raj

No Americans have ever been the recipi-

red upon General Grant since his arrival
in England. The knowledge of this must
be rather unpalatable to those who through
his administration have poured upon him
their walls Of wrath and vituperation.

It takes one back to the old lawless times
in the West to read of the discovery oil d
gang Of land pirates who have been 'oPer-
ating" in Illinois and Missouri for Two
years. Murrell, the bandit, was supposed
to be one of the last OF his race, though
later rascals. like the Younger family, have
initiated his deeds. The gang just found
in Missouri was organized with sundry
modern improvements, one of which was
the engagement Of cunning scoundrel
who conducted s.revival meetings" in or
der to draw crowds Of respectable people
and thus facilitate the stealing of good
horses. The management of the band,
whose exploits included nearly every crime
in the calendar and in boldness and ingen-
uity has no parallel unless it be found in
the management of life insurance cOmpa-
MES.

U-NANswERED PRAYER.
Rev. w. e. Gray's Sunday Evening
Disc curse.


Rev. w. C. Gray, of Austin, filled
the pulpit at the Methodist Church in
Eureka on Sunday last. MIR. Gray
made a very favorable impression.
The following is a synopsis ofthe even
ing's DISCOURSE:
Text: Epistle of James, ". $40 ask and re-
ceive not, because yo ask ami.s. SUB
ject: Unanswered prayers.
A popular misconception of prayer
is hat it IL the mode 10y which the
will of nan determined the will of
God. The heather idea is that God is
angry and that his anger must be
turned away. Hence. when they
prayed they cut themselves with
knives or tortured themselves with
fire, thinking their suffering would be
pleasing to the Gods and thus their
anger turned away. The Christians
idea is that God is always waiting to be
gracious. IT u prayers are unan-
swered IL is not because God is unwil-
ling to hear. but we receive not "be-
cause we ask amiss." Prayer should
be a direct address to the Almighty. Ii
may be proper at times to convey in
>truction OF reproof in a public pray er.

to ask a blessing at a dinner where
they had roast pork, prayed, 'Oh,

Gospel what Thou didst curse under
the law, bless this pig" But the Ian
guage OF real prayer * the language of
arnes s~upplication. We should avoid

''Oh. Lord. we would not presume to

ers are unanswered because there is
animosity in our hearts. We do NOT
and can not pray, Forgive us as we
forgive them that trespass against u.s."
so long as we cherish anger or revenge
in our hearts. Sometimes God with
holds answers to u prayers because
he sees it best for us no TO have the
things for which We ask. Blu he never

Interested im the Decision.

The interest felt by all classes and
conditions in the result of the mining
suit, was very noticeable on the streets
yesterday morning. The sidewalks
were througed with anxious men
awaiting the decision, and when the
of the "pOstponment was received,
the expressions of disgust aud disap-
pointment were loud and universal.
A great many rumors were afloat as to
the cause of the delay, but uo one, in
the nature Ct things, was able TO
speak with authority. The most
reasonable supposition, and the most
plausible n e was that Justice Field
was engaged in writing a lengthy aud
elaborate opinion, and required fur
ther Time To finish 1t. THIS view il
sustained by IA Geographic advices.

very fine ore has been met with, a
quantity of which has been extracted.
There is every indication of a fine
body OF. ore being developed in a very
short time. The indomitable Billy
Wermuth directs the affairs, and has a
force of ten men engaged i'm exploring
