The first excursion of the season, on the
waters of the beautiful Kennebec, took place
last Saturday, on the new steamer ID, LA Col
lins. 1t was a complimentary excursion Civ
cn by the owners of the Star of the East, to
officers OF their steamers, and to other inyit-
cd friends and guests, including members of
the press. The ciics of Augusta lIallowcll
and Gardiner were represented, the latter
much the tuost numerously. \ solid dclega-
tlon of the owners of the steamer was aboard,
partly made up from Massachusetts. and in
the company was quite a number of men
prominent in business and politics. also many
fine ladies, fair representatives of the wives
and daughters of the homes of the Kennebec
valley.
II was Il delight to step aboard the new and
neat steamer AT Augusta, to leave the hot
ana dusty shores, and enjoy the cooling
breeze upon the river, and feast the eyes up
on the magnificent picture presented by the
country ON either hand The scehery upon
the kcnncbec is strikingly beautiful at any
season OF the year, but never more charming
than in the month of June. when the fields
ana woods and gardens wear their brightest
attire. We know but little Of the rivers fam
Gus for the beauty of their scenery, but we do
know that a sail on the kennebcc with good
view OF all lis charms, is great luxury to
those who have eyes to see and capacity to
appreciate the panorama spread before Them
and We are glad to know that more and more
the dwellers upon ITS banks enjoy and pat
ronZc excursions upon its waters,
The steamer left Augusta at 1870 i. NJ,
stopped at lIallowcll, Gardiner and Rich
mond, for Passengers, and reached Bath at 1
O'Clock, where tarry was made of an hour
and a half for a stroll around the city. At
j.3O we started homeward, reaching Augusta
at about . o'clock, having had one of the
most perfect excursions we ever enjoyed.
On the return very generous lunch was pre-
pared for the cXcursionists, at the expense of
the originators of the excursion, of which all
partopk, and if any went away hungry it was
not because there was not an abundance of
food, or a cordial invitation to eat and eat
again and be filed Another rich treat of a
different Kind was singing by the Hughes
Brothers, who held the company under the
spell of their magnificent voices and art, as
We sped along up the river.

which we trust will be many-be as enjoy

result:
Parry, PCS
Dobler, 265
Banks, 254

Parry gets the belt and $1,000 Dobler gets
$500 Banks, $3.50; Sherry, Sl50. pro-
test was entered on behalf of Dobler, that
Parry's trainer walked with him. but there is
no probability that it will be entertained.
Trouble was threatened early in the evening
by Dobcr's friends, but everything was quiet
and orderly at the close. George Guyon has
already challenged the winner, and it is UNI
dcrstood OLeary will contest the right of
Parry to hold the belt, in Il match to be made
nj an early date.
The charge is made that the reason for the
sudden and unexpected falling behind on the
part of Dobler (whose r. al name is Dolan) is
that Jerry Monroe, a notorious sporting char
actcr here, became interested in beating him,
and therefore got him chorotormed about q
o'clock. Monroe denies this, but evidence is
pretty strong against him. 1t is certain that
chloroform WAS used with effect.

SHYINa HoRsEs.-W. A. Cleveland,
veterinary surgeon, in writing to Wxllace's
Monthly about shying horses, says: "I saw
in the Monthly, short time ago. inquiring
the reason why horses shy, or why horse
was frightened by objects at the side Of the
road, and if they cannot be broken Of the
habit. will give my idea of this trouble
and let the reader reason as he pleases.-
There never was q shying horse that was not
near.sighted. They do not see the object
until getting right on to it, That being the
case, nothing will break the horse of the
habit, unless the binders are discarded and
an open head. stall used. Treat the horse
kindly. Never whip him, but try to coax
him up to the object, that he may smell Of
it. / broke one Of the worst shycrs I ever
saw by leading, riding, and driving in a
meadow where had stones, stuups, boxes,
and buffalo skins placed in different posi-,
tions every day, and would lead him to them
and allow him to eat few oats off the OBJ.
ject. After this the horse did not shy, but
went toward che object instead of from it.
Let any ;one examine wcil-behaved horses
eye, and then q shyers's eye, and note the
difference. BE kind aud gentle to shyer,'
The best and safest plan with shyer is to
bpuli his head away from the object instead
Of tho common practice Of toward il. A
horse nearly always gives notice that he is
afraid, and if the driver heeds the waruidg

Scenes on the Memphis Train.

LOUISVILLE, July 21.-Probably no epidemic or
consequence OF war ever produced greater ex-
citement for the number Of people concerned,
OF Witnessed more outrageous scene than that
nt tue depot Mt Memphis Sunday morning, when
the train left there at 8 o clock that morning.
and which only reached here yesterday between
II NJ. and p. NJ.
The majority Of the frightened humanity on
that train were woman and children, many of
whom had no protectors to guard and care for
them women with young babes at the breasts,
others whose great age made it seem mockery
to flee from death; yet they were there, and
were so unfortunate rs to be herded (for no other
word expresses the meaning so well) with set
OF male dogs In human guise, who drank vile
liquors, smoked mean cigars aud puffed the
smoke in the faces Of delicate ladies; and, not
content with that, drew from the spacious pock.
cts OF their busters those emblems Of hell and
low life, playing cards, formed games for money,
and, rs natural consequence, began cursing
and blaspheming in q manner that would shook
the most fouly raised vagabond. No word was
too vulgar to be checked upon the lips of those
foui-mouthed rufhans. will add that even this
was oearable compared with the brutal conduct
OF some Of these-things, for they could not ap-
propriately be called mcn-in occupyine n
double share of room while poor, wesk ladies,
for such they arc, wero forced to stand in those
Joltlng cars as best they could, many Of them
with little ones in their arms, until the train
reached Milan. Many of these ladies. weak and
exhausted, sank to the floor amid all the filth and
dirt thati is possible to imagine. Added to this,
there was no water and no one in authority seemed
to mako any attempt to provide it. Very few
had anything TO eat, nor could they get j. for
any price until they reached this city, having
then been more than twenty eight hours in this
suspense and misery. Ladies' who at home have
carriages and all that wealth can command were
glad to find seat on the steps of the cor plat-
form, and many were for hours forced to remain
in such fearful danger. A Southern man should
blush to know that, even to save his own life,
he should be guilty Of such inhumanity TO a wo-
man. take great pride in saying that there
were few men on that train composed of the
true elements of gentiity, who did all In thier
power to alleviate the sufferings Of the women
and children. One young man in particular,
whose name regret did not learn, observed
brute disposscss some little children of a seat
they had from the first occupied. He stepped
forward, and. by Q welLdirected blow, hurled
the scoundrel out of the place he had usurped
and restored the little ones, Probably the rail-
road officers in charge of the train did all they
could, but that is questionable. Not half the
passengers secured checks for baggage. Many
who did did so by paying the baggageman heav-
