"l'HE KING OF THE THE
American horse Iroquois carried of
the St. Leger stakes at the Doncaster
races in England yesterday, and ia
hailed as "Kng Of the Turf" by some
of his hackers. No doubt they made
lots of money on him, as bets run as
high as nine to one against him were
made week ago, and only the day
before the race the bets were two and
three to one against him, so that
those who bet their money on him
must have swept the decks and reapsd

GUITEAU's AssAILANT.

MasOn's Friends Urging His Pro.
motion and Subscribing Money 10
Pay HIS Counsel Fees.
A special despatch from Washing
ton says:
There is a opposition in this city to
make hero of Sergeant Mason, who
tried to kill Guiteau last Sunday even
ing. Citizens write letters to the
newspapers, which are published, in
which it is urged that Mason should
be promoted; petitions are in circula-
tion asking for his promotion, and
subscriptions are being collected With
which to pay his counsel. His own
statements show that his attempt to
kill Guiteau was the result of calm
deliberation and long premedition.
He deferred the assault until he was
paid off in order that he might first
pay some small bills and send money
to his family. He was a volunteer
soldier in Company D, 18th Ohio
Regiment, in the war and he entered
the regular army in 1866. He will be
tried by court martial. Many of the
people of Washington seem to for.
get that he has been guilty of pre-
meditated assault with intent to COM
NIT murder. The Star declares that
"if Mason should live there is but lit>
tie doubt that he will soon be the
most popular man In the country"
Is also announced that in the Post Of
fee department to day petition was
prepared, and signed by many per-
sons, asking that Mason shall be
promoted because he has shown the
daring, GOODNESS, courage, and other
qualifications which are required to
make good officer.

A Man with a Won nderfuI wound.

BALTIMORE, September 1l.-Henry
A Schumacher, an employee of the
Post Office in this city, was wounded
during tho war and given up for dead.
Two months afterwards, when it was
found that despite his injuries, which
had been pronounced necessarily fatal,
the man was still alive, the case was
considered so remarkable that in
August, 1854, commission Of twelve
surgeons examined him. They all,
after an investigation, pronounced the
survival of the man up to that time to
have been almost miraculous, and
further said that he could not pos
sibly live tel days. Schumacher lin
gered year after year until 1872, when
he had almost recovered. lie was
then stricken with paralysis, growing
out of his wound and made narrow
escape from death. To day he Is alive
and hearty, aud watches the Presi-
dents case with full confidence in the
latter's recovery. Schumacher was
shot through the body from left to
right. the ball breaking the fifth, sixth

to her equine namesake, and when .
resident Of the blue grass country wished
to express the power Of his love for any
