London, July 24.--P. Lorrillard's brown
colt, lraquos, was favoritc in betting, five to
four on him, for the race tor the great Kings

which came off yesterday, the first day ofthe
Random park clubs second meeting. He
ran very badly and finished fourth in the
field of eight starters,
TO STRIKE.
The interview between the masters and cot.
ton operatives of Bolton and that district YES
terday resulted in the operatives declaring
their intention 10 strike on Wednesday next.
unless an advance of 8 per cent. in their
wages is conceded. The masters said they
would, in such al event, enforce a. general
lockout. The dispute directly affects four
million spindles and ten thousand operatives
now out on strike at Rochdale. The opera
tives will strike also, probably, at Oldham.
GENERAL BoET.
A Paris dispatch to the Times saws the ac.
quittal Of General Beet at Milan produces
a painful impression on the part of legitima-
lists. There being no dispute as to the sale of
the diamonds, the only question was
as to whether the sale was with
or without the sanction of
Don Carlos, and the jury accepted
the defendants version, that was similar.
This version, however, was deliberately re-
futed in the indictment drawn up by the Ital-
ian authorities, who clearly had no reason
for tavoring Bourbon prince There seems
to be q possibility that the jury was awayed
by general political prejudicea, for the de-
fendant's counsel had denounced Don Carlos
MS being at the head of party which had
always done its utmost to surprise his ally.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.

Mrs. G. C. Long, lady living at 7O5
West Baltimore street in Baltimore,
created sensation by preaching ser.
mon on the corner of Baltimore and
Eutaw streets, in which che claimed TO
be special agent ordered by holy
telegram from heaven to proclaim the
Gospel of the religion OF reason. The
lady is the wife of former merchant
of this city, now dead, and her sudden
outbreak is entirely unaccOuntable to
her friends. In every other respect
she is undoubtedly sane. Her state
ment is that on the night OF the 25th
of September last, while alone, she was
seized with a strange transport. While
in this condition an inner voice re-
vealed to her strange communications,
and by an electric agitation Of her right
arm she was led to commit them to
writing. The holy message, The
thoughts, the language and the dicton
of this production, she claims, are far
beyond her own natural abilities, and
could only have emsnated from a supe-
rior and, as she firmly believes divine
mind. Mrs. Long informed her rela-
tiyes what had taken place, showed
them the communications, amounting
to ten long pages, and ever since has
claimed TO be more or less under the
dominion of spiritual influence leading
her to do all manner OF odd and wbiDi-
sical things She claims that because
Of the added sanctity belonging TO her
person she was directed TO clean her
teeth in a peculiar manner with per-
fumed water at particular hour, using
the brush in certain way. According
TO her statement she was to begin 10
wear undergarments of peculiar pat
tern, everything concerning which,
even to the mode of putting them on,
was made the subject of supernatural
communication. The holy message as
written by her gave at length number
of other peculiar features Of her new
religion, among them that there are but
tive persoDs-tbe "holy parents" one
masculine and the eothsrfeminine. The
Saviour is utterly ignGred as having
been solely human and no efficiency
whatever is attached 10 faith. In sp-
pearance the author Of this remarkable
statement is very attractive. 20

WHAT MY LOVER SAID.

BY the merest chance, in the twilight
gloom.
In the orchard path he met me
In the tall wet grass, with its faint per-
fume,
And tried 10 pass, but he made no room.
Oh! | tried, but he would not let me.
SO l stood and blushed till the grass grew
red,
With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand, as he whispering
How the clover lifted each pink, sweet
head
To listen to all my lover said
Oh the clover in blooui-I love It!
In the high wet grass went the path to
hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself when | vaihly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there and he raised my
head, ... ...
While he closed the path before me,
And he looked down into my eyes and
said
How the leaves bent down from the boughs
o'erhead,
To listen TO all that my lover said,
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly Ger me.
Had he moved aside but little way
l could surely then have passed him,
And he knew ! never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he had
to say,
Could only aside have cast him.
1t WAS almost dark and the moments sped
And the searching night wind found us; ;
But he drew me nearer and softly said
How the pure, sweet wind grew still in
To listen to all that my lover said,
Oh the whispering wind around US.
am sure he knew, when he held me fast
That | must be all unwilling;
For | tried to go, and would have passed
AS the night was come with its dews at
last,
And the sky with its stars were filling;
But he clasped me close, when would
have fed,
And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and
said -..--
How the stars erept out when the white
moon led,
To listen to all that my lover said,
Oh, the moon and stars in glory!
know that the grass and the leaves will
not tell,
And I'm sure that the wind, precious
rover,
Will carry his secret so safely and well
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips Of my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked
over
Shall never reveal what fairy-like spell
They wove round about Us that night In
tue dell,

Lees Estimate of StOnewaII Jack.

The late General J. B. Hood, in
his posthumous book, which is in
valuable to the historian who shall
write truthfully an account of the
unsuccessful struggle of the South,
incidentally publishes the following
letter from General Robert E. Lee
to him, lamenting the death of
Stonewall Jackson, which we be-
lieve has never been printed:
"CAMP FREDs, 21st May, 1868.
"MY DEARGENERAL: Upon my
return from Richmond / found your
letter of the 18th awaiting me. Al
though separated from me, / have
had you in my eye and thoughts. I
wished for you much in the last bat
tie, and believe had had the whole
army with me, General Hooker
would have been demolished. But
God ordered otherwise.
81 grieve much over the death of
General Jackson-for our sakes, not
for his. He is happy and at peace.
But his spirit lives with us, and /
hope it will raise up many Jacksons
in our ranks. We must all do more
than formerly. We must endeavor
to follow the unselfish, devoted, in
trepid course he pursued, and we
shall be strengthened rather than
weakened by his loss. I rely much
on you. You must so inspire and
lead your brave division as that it
may accomplish the work of a corps.
1 agree with you as to the size of a
corps of this army. They are too
large for the country we have to
operate in, for one man to handle.
saw it all last campaign. j have
endeavored to remedy it-this in a
measure at least-but do not know
whether I shall succeed. lam much
obliged to you always for your opin-
ion. / know you give it from pure
motives. If / am not always con-
vinced you must bear with me. /
agree with you in believing that
our army would be invincible If it
could be properly organized and of
fcered. There never were such men
in an army before. They will go
anywhere and do anything ifprop-
erly led. But there is the difficulty
proper commanders-where can
they be obtained? But they are inn
proYing-constantly improving.
Rome was not built in a day, nor
can we expect miracles in our favor.
"Wishing you every health and
happiness, and committing you to
the care of a kind Providence,
ST am now and always your
friend, r. E. LEE.
