New York Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger.
The news of another victory by Foxhall on
the English turf was the occasion ONO little
jubilation in Wall street, and for q while
Mr. James Keene had so muck to do in ac-
knowledging the congratulations and COM
pliments Of his friends that his Wabash, .
"Erie," "U. P.," "Wcstern Union " and
other playthings were quito neglected,
" horse-tallS for the time being taking pre-
cedence of points in stocks. IL is said
that no inconsdcrable amounts of money
were staked by the younger operators in the
street on the American animal, and that
some of them have won all the way from 800
to 10000. Naturally these people feel very
grateful to the horses owner, and they were
no way backward In giving expression to 1t.
Mr.. Keene said it was one of tho happiest
days of his life, and, in answer to an inter-
rogatory from friend of business turn of
mind, said Foxhall had been backed to win
$2,500,000, and great deal of American
money, from New York right through to
Chicago and San Francisco, was on him"
In answer to another he remarked, / think
Foxhall the best thrce-year-old in the world.
/ thought he would win the Cesarewitch,
but there was so much fuss made about mis-
takes in rating and one thing and another
that lately began to have doubts. But
Foxhall has justified the faith VIC all had in
him, and, as an American, as well rs his
owner, am proud of his victory"

A case of highway robbery occurred down
ON @ street, in the Division" about 10
o'clock last Tuesday night J. p. G. Brown
phine Butler, one of the denizens of that
locality, and excited the Jealousy and
wrath Of Ed. Scott. On the night men
toned he visited the house, and finding
Brown there quickly hustled him into the
street. He Immediately fell into the
clutches of Robert Proctor Budd Emery,
Will Banks, Robert Green and Preston
Brooks, who proceeded to clean him out in
the most thorough and expeditions man
ner. He was relieved of a watch, pistol, q
small amount of money and then permitted

The Original lEsthcte.

Oscar Wilde is not the original aesthetic
poet of the peculiar "Mother Goose" rhyme
and rythm. We recollect reading several
years ago "poem" from the hermaphro-
ditto pen of joaquin Miller, which runs ex-
actly in the aesthetic line of Oscar:
A thatch of palm and n patch of clover,
A breath of balm in Il field of brown
The clouds blew up and the birds tiew
over;
looked upward, but who looked down
Who was true in the test that tried us?
Who was II Knocked who now may mourn
The loss of u love that cross denied us?
With folded hands and heart forlorn.
God forgive when the fair forget us
The worth OF smile or the weight of Il
tear
We are children of chance and the fates be-
set us;
II we laugh for moment we weep for n
Nnnr.

A Candidates Pledges.

Mr.. Orange Noble makes the following
pledges in accepting the Democratic nomi-
nation for State treasurer of Pennsylvania
a. accept the nomination with full I'M
derstanding of the responsibility it imposes,
and pledge myself that if the confidence
reposed in me by the convention is rati-
fed by the people they shall not be disap'
pointed in their just expectations. The
treasury will be administered as "a sacred
trust from the people,; care will be taken
to employ none but pure, competent and
trustworthy men; the records of the office
will always be open for the most rigid
scrutiny; the corrupt rings will be dis.
countenanced, and the constant effort will
be to reduce expenses, collect the revenues
impartially, and in every way possible to
promote the interests of the State. Not a
dollar that does not legitimately belong to
me shall be taken as a part of the compen-
satiOn of the office"

MarshalI's Hotel burned.

As announced in yesterdays CRITIC, the
hotel at st. Georges Island has been de-
stroyed by fire. When the Lady of the
Lake passed, the hotel had apparently been
burning but n short time, though when
first discovered it was past saving. The
building was of frame, and burned rapidly.
Mr.. Marshall was at Great Wicomico, and
the house was believed to have been en-
tirely deserted at the time the fire broke
out, though all the furniture and other APP
purtenances were still there. The store ad-
Joining, as well us the house itself, was
burned to the ground while the steamer
was in sight. Capt. Baldwin stated last
night that he estimated the loss at $685. 600
to $4,000. He believed that partial insur-
ance existed. Last year, about the same
time-shortly after closing for the season
Colton's Resort, some miles this side OF
Marshall's, was burned to the ground under
similar circumstances, the fire in that case
being attributed to incendiaries

The validity ola Marriage Upheld.

William r. Hynes, a well-known New
ork business man, formerly Of st. Louis
and a large owner of real estate, met a
room girl while visiting in London, whom
he lived with and promised to take as his
wife. He gave her ring at the time, and
said he did not believe in the formalities Of
marriage. This was in 1871, and the pail
lived together as husband and wife until
Mr. Hynes death in 1874. The sister Of
the deceased man obtained letters Of ad
ministration on his estate in New York as
his nearest kin. Thereupon Mrs. Hynes
comes to New York and began an actio II
in the Court of Common Pleas to gain
possession of the property. The verdict
being rendered in favor of the plaintiff, the
case was carried to the Court of Appeals,
where the validity of the marriage was sus
tanned. A new trial was had with the
same result, which was reached Tuesday.

Defrees' " Monkey BUSINESS"

NNIIOTINI NVpUD1CNII'
There is 50 much Partially and monkey
business going on at the Government
Printing Office that the employees are cry.
ing out against the mismanagement of De.
frees, who spends most of his time at Berke
ley Springs. The latest nonsense is the
delay in paying the hands. This usually
takes place between the LIST and sth of each
month, but the men were not paid this
month until yesterday (12th). 1t appears,
too, that the pay-rolls for last month were
made out docking all the sub-foreman, in
Guiding the nephew of Defrpes for the time
lost during the Presidential obsequies
These rolls were not used. New ones were
made out allowing the sub-foreman for
their time, but docking the compositors,
laborers and others.

declined 10 Prosecute.

District-Attorney Corkhill announced in
the Criminal Court this morning that the
grand jury had ignored the charge brought
against Samuel Payne of assault with in
tent to commit rape upon Mary Il. Lawson.
1t seems that the prosecuting witness de-
clined to appear against the accused, saying
that he was drunk at the time and not re-
sponsble for what he did. 1t is thought,
however, that a more persuasive reason
exists for her declining to prosecute him.
