4 Heavy Better SCALED"

Davis, the heaviest professional
better of the English ring, who has
for years been leading . life of re-
tirement, . helpless paralytic, At
Brighton, died there recently. An
idea of the magnitude of his transac.
tons may be gathered from the nen-
ton Of the bet he laid D'Orsay Clark
of 100000 to $500 against lander
meulin for the Derby. Davis was
thoroughly honorable in all his trans
actions. His last words showed that,
though he had long since cut his cor.
nections with the turf, he still regard.
ed oil mundane affairs from q race.
course point of view. The night be-
fore he died he instinctivcly knew
that the end WAS at hand. The
event comes of to night, William"
said the erstwhile leviathsn better, as
his servant babe him good night. On
going to awake him in the morning
his faithful attendant found that
during the night he had peacefully
d" handed in his checks"

Pedestrian.

Rae, tho Canadian, who was one of
the competitors In the O'Leary gnas-
you-please six-dsy contest at New.
ark, appears to set at defiance all
hitherto accepted trainers rules.
Speaking Of his eccentric conduct,
a local Journal says: He came here
on Monday last an entire stranger,
and he leaves with the reputation, at
least, Of being tile champion do. as
you. please walker in the country.
During the week he had no trainer or
attendant, and did just exactly what
he pleased. He walked when he felt
like it, and went of the track when
ever he pleased. 10 fact, he violated
all the rules heretofore laid down BY
physicians and trainers of pedestri-
ans in regard to eating, drinking and
smoking. Whenever he felt like
taking his glass of lager he quit the
track and made for the nearest saloon
without coat or hat. He smoked his
pipe, eat whatever his fancy dictated,
and yet kept in excellent condition,
looking at the close about as fresh as
when he started"

A Novel Postal Card.

Every one has seen q postal card,
of course, but few have ever heard OF
sending a postal card by express
There is boy in Baltimore, however
who wanted to have some fun with
his aunt, Mrs. Mary L. Kline, of EN-
porium, Cameron county, Pennsyl-
vania. So he took the lid Of . dry
goods box-the lid being as large 81
4 door-and, writing his aunt's ad.
dress on one side, put the message on
the other. Then he painted some
thing that looked like stamp 10 one
corner and sent the whole thing by
express. The aunt was surprised
about as much, perhaps, to learn
that she had such foolish nephew,
as at receiving such message.

THE Supreme Court of TIE

THE Supreme Court of Ten
nessee has recently rendered decis-
ION which allows white men snd,col-
ored men the inestimable privilege
of playing cards together. There
was formerly, some time before the
war, q law 10 force which prohibited
this sort of amusement and affixed q
penalty of fine and Imprisonment.
Parties were indicted while ago for
violation of this old statute, which q
good many had forgotten, and as it
was ascertsined that through all the
ms and outs Of reconstruction the act
had never been specifically repealed
a verdict of guilty was rendered un-
der the charge of the Circuit Judge.
When the cases were taken to the
Supreme Court all the defendants
were discharged and the costs were
assessed upon the State, the ground
being taken that " the results Of the
war" and the constitutional amend
ments had in effect repealed the law,
and a man might play cards with
anybody without regard to race, col
or or previous condition of servitude.

competition in England proved y
perfect farce. There were but three
competitor, two of whom soon ran
themselves to q standstill. Mason.
after leading for the first seventeen
miles, fell all to pieces and left the

found to be all cut and bleeding
when he had travelled twenty mine
miles, and he had to retire. This
left only Bailey, the holder Of the
belt, in the race, and when he had
covered thirty miles in 8 hours 10
minutes and IL seconds he was told
be might stop.
