INTERESTING RACE BETWEEN THE ANALoSTAN
CLUB, OF WASHINGTON, AND THE ELIZABETH

MOUTH CREW VICTORIOUS, &C.
TSpecial telegram 10 the Dispatch.1
NORFOLK, VA, July 9.-Thc much-talked-
OF boat-race between the Analostan Boat
Club, of Washington, D. c., and the Eliza
beth Boat Club, Of Portsmouth, Va, came
off this afternoon at 6:45 O'Clock. Quite a
fresh breeze was blowing at the time the
race was called, at O'Clock, but the Ana
lostan Club objected to the roughnesS
OF the water, and the time was thus
deferred. The start was well made, with
the Analostan crew ahead, but the Eliza
beth crew gained so rapidly that both
boats came together, their oars locking.
This foul was decided against the Aualostan
boat. The Elizabetlis then had the way
easily to the stake-boat and return. The
course was one mile straight down the har-
Dor and return. The AnaIostans had 4
second foul with 4 tug-boat, but that did
not lose them the race. The boats fouling
destroyed the interest in the race. The
Elizabeths' time was fourteen minutes and
twenty seconds. The Analostans' time was
fifteen minutes and forty seconds. About
five thousand people witnessed the race,
among them the Secretary OF the Navy and
numerous officials from Washington.
The ITALIAN Dramatic Club from Wash
inston accompanied the Analostan Club on
their trip here, and gave an entertainment
at The Opera-H ouse tonight, which was well
attended. During the performance the Win.
ming Boat Club were presented with fine
silver cup as the award OF their victory. The
presentation speech was made by Mayor
Tucker, OF this city.

FIFTEEN GREAT MISTAKES.

1t is great mistake TO set up our own
standard Of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly. 1t is great mistake
to measure the enjoyment Of others with our
own; to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and experience
in youth to endcavor to mold all DISPOSE
tons alike; not to yield in immaterial tri-
tes; to look for perfection in our own nc
tons TO worry ourselves and others with
what can not be remcdicd; not TO alleviate
all that needs alienation, as far AS it lies in
our power; not to make allowances for the
infrmities of others; to consider everything
impossible that We cannot perform; TO be-
licve only what our finite minds can grasp;
to expect to he able to understand every
thing. The greatest of all mistakes is to
live Only for time, when any moment may
launch US into eternity.

pressure of public opinion to make some
sort of ly ny apology for it. If our mem
DRY serves us right he unloaded his troubles
on the broad and convenient shoulders of
the reporters. More recently, at West
Point, in public speech, he went so far as
to declare his readiness, in certain contin-
gencies, to ignore the law-mak ng power of
the country, and pledged himself and the
army to the support of a fraudulent presi-
dent In private conversation he does not
attempt to conceil his contempt for re-
publican institutions, and wags very
wicked tongue in speaking of them. We
repeat therefore, that Sherman is danger
Gus man to the Liberties of the people, and
he should be watched constantly and closely.

A correspondent Of the London World
has been finding out what the various plcni.
potcntiarics think of one another. Prince
Gortchakotf, tstems, likes Lord Beaconsheld;
so does Count Audrassy. The second Aus
train, Count Kprolsi, one of the richest and
noblcst of Hungarian magnates, looks npon
Lord Salisbury as too literary for grand
seigneur, and considers that he would come
nearer to the ideal British peer y there
were more Of thu gamckccpcr and the jock
ey about him. Unfortunately Lord Sal
isbmy's colleague does not find more favor
in the eyes of his Hungarian Exccllcncy;
for he pronounces the first pcnipotcntiary
of Great Britain to be artificial, pretcntious,
and rather Vulgar NJ. Waddington likes
Lord Salisbury, but fails TO understand Lord
Beaconslicld. Court Andrassy is less fond
than he was, but not less fearful, Of Prince
Bismarck. Just rs the Germans do not
relish the selection by Turkey Of the
German renegade Mehcmet Ali Pasha, so
does Lord Beaconstcld rather resent the
choice of an English manufacturer to repre-
sent France.

THE remarkable story comes from Dor
chest, Arkansas, that on the day before yes
terday that vicinity received touch of the
Polar wave, and the result was one OF the
most remarkable condolences that has ever
been recorded in the phenomenal world. At
10 o'clock p. m. the heat was almost insult
f.rable, but We. ); soon afterwards change
was perceptible in the temperature, and in
half an hours time to be comfortable it was
necessary to remain indoors. A black
cloud in the west gave every indication OF
an approaching rainstorm, but light flakes
of snow soon began to fall, and continued
until the ground was in spots white tn
the beautiful snow 1t disappeared in a
few moments and the sun came out again
The people there are unable to account FOL
this sudden change and singular event. Ii
is pretty safe to say that there is but one
way of accounting for it--and that is that
it is Pigment of the brain-a pardonable lie
considering the weather.

We took occasion to say some time since
that Judge Bird could have secured the
Legislative nomination at Carbondale if he
had been disposed to enter into a trade with
the Jackson county delegation for it, and
called upon the Sun to either deny or ack
nowedge the truth of the charge. 1t ack-
nowledged that some of Mr.. Layman's
strikers made an offer to the friends of Judge
Bird to secure him the nomination if the
Alexander delegation would promise its
county to Layman for circuit judge at the
proper time, and added that the Alexander
delegation declined it for the reason that
they did not believe the party Of the other
part could carry out its contract. Impartial
men, of whatever political creed, must cx-
pericnce a severe strain upon their faith in
ourinsttutions, when they see such a motley
gathering as that assembled AT Carbondale
making an Office the most important known
to our laws-an Office whose possessor de-
termines issues Of life and property--the
subject of intrigue and barter. But Of
such stuff is atter-day Rcpubicanism made,
