Horse RACES. THE race between "Ti-
nomme" Poch6's grey horse Sam Patch,
the New River champion, and Jerry Chris
tvs bay from the eighth ward, managed by
Mr.. E. f. Babin, took place at Dutch Town,
last Sunday evening, and was witnessed by
a large crowd of people. The redoubtable
gray won another victory, beating his op-
ponent twenty-five feet. There was much
excitement over the result, and consldera-
bic disputing as to whether the stakes should
be given up to the winning side, but finally
the matter was adjusted peacefully, though
there were indications of lively muss at
one time.
Friday evening there was a race between
Mr.. Henry T. Braud's bay "Harry" and
Mr.. Jno. Lapeyrolerie's nag, on the public
road fronting the Beirne places, and Har-
~ was an easy winner by thirty feet.
We hear an effort is being made to have
the New River gray and Mr.. Brands bay
matched for q run. This event would at
tract much interest among admirers of the
inspiriting sport and each horse would have
q large number=of enthusiastic hackers
ready to risk money on the success Of their
favorite.

Donaldsonville, but now pastor of the Mag
nclia NJ. E. Church at Jackson, La, visited
town this week and spent day calling on
his numerous friends. His portly dimen-
sions and healthy appearance indicate that
he enjoys good living in East Feliciana.
He speaks very highly of the people of
jackson and vicinity and gives the country
a fine name. The whites are charitable and
friendly, and have aided the preacher and
his congregation literally in their church
work, which is progressing very favorably.
A good class Of teachers have been en-

there is much intelligence and educational
advancement exhibited among the colored

far beyond the confines of Ascension and
he frequently has orders for work from dis

and prices always give satisfaction to his
patrons.
RICP.-The work Of thrashing the rice
crop raised by Messrs. Kenner &; Brent on
the Ashland place was finished last Tuesday
We are informed that the total yield was
1870 sacks from 800 acres, which would give
an average of fraction over 1G14 sacks to
the acre.
Thrashing will be finished on the Linwood
place next week. The thrasher stopped
Tuesday, waiting for rice, but it got under
way again on Thursday.

Mackey'S Diversions.

The round of amuSementS which Mr.
Mackey is providing for the American
colony since his return to Paris from
the great fetes at Moscow are the all
eclipsing topic of the hour. At the ball
given last Saturday, as our special ca
BILE correspondent reports, Mr.. Mackey
hired the King of Sweden to dance with
the American ladies, paying him LOCO
an hour for the work. About midnight
he struck for higher wages and Mr..
Mackev stood the raise with true Amer
lean sang-froid. BY four o'clock the
King was completely blown with his So
cial exercises and taken from the room
in a fainting condition. Mr.. Mackey
offered to pay all his funeral expenses
if he died. which generous offer made
him many friends among the Swedes.
The Prince of Wales telegraphed for an
invitation to the ball, but the American
millionaire, remarking that Wales Con-
solidated was good short, declined to
issue an invite. When his little bonmor
was translated in the morning journals
the city was convulsed with laughter.
Several descendants of the BOnaparte
family who attempted to climb in the
windows of the ball room were thrown
into the basin of the fountain by Mr..
Mackey, who stands over six feet in his
socks and is called the '.strOng man of
Nevada" Although Mr.. Mackey danced
until daylight and went off shift at six
o'clock, he whipped two editors of the
royalist faction before breakfast for
publishing an incorrect description of
some of the dresses worn at the blow
out. When the bodies of the editors
were borne away in an ambulance to
the Hospital DIES Invalides, the crowds
applauded in the streets.
On Sunday last Mr. Mackey was ia
ken with q chill, and feeling that his
hour was near purchased the tomb of
Napoleon for a family vault, and had
it at once taken to his garden. On re-
covering in the afternoon he sold it to
the Gar at an advance of fifty per cent
The Journal Of Finance applauds this
mastery stroke of business. The only
accident which marred the harmony Of
the grand ball was when the eldest
daughter of Count de Chambord fell
into one of the tanks of champagne,
which had carelessly been left in the
corridor, AMI was drowned. The tank
held one thousand gallons, and the
body was not discovered until the floor
managers had drank the tank nearly
dry.-Carson (Ner.) appeal.

lady declared that she ADMIRED a hand

A Lovers Revenge.

NJ. Francisque Sarcey has just favored
the readers of the ike Steele with a
dissertation on the delicate subject of
professional secrecy, and the obligation
it sometimes imposes of telling q lie.
The circumstances of case cited by
him in which the seal of secrecy was
broken are of a very dramatic character.
A lady whose daughter was about to be
married having acquired suspicion
that the antecedents of the fiance were
not of the most desirable character
that he had, in fact, undermined his con-
stitution by early dissipation-called
upon his medical adviser, Doctor Del
pech, one of the most distinguished pro-
fessors of the Montpelier faculty of
medicine, confided her suspicious to
him, and asked if they were well
founded. The doctor fenced with the
question as well as he could, and tried
to avoid giving direct answer. The
lady insisted. 81 do not address you as
a professional man." she said, '.but ask
you, as father of a family, would you
give your daughter to this young man?"
Overcome by this appeal, the doctor
gave a reluctant answer in the negative,
and the marriage was broken off. Some
days afterward the carriage in which
the doctor used to drive to his class
came to a stand before the door of the
medical school, but without either the
physician or the coachman, who were
both found lying dead on the road at
some distance, each with bullet lodged
in vital part. The circumstances of
the murder were shrouded in mystery
for time; but eventually the dead
body of young man, who had blown
his brains out, was found lying in a
room the windows Of which looked on
the scene of the assassination. 1t was
the body of the young man whom DIR.
Delpech said he would not accept as a
son-in-law; and there could, of course,
be no reasonable doubt that he was the
assassin.-!St. James Gazette.

A Neglected. Embezzler.

Mr.. William Meyer, formerly book.
keeper in Lockport, (N. Y. bank,
having neglected to save enough of the
embezzled funds to pay lawyers fees,
finds that the way of the transgressor
is hard. Five years ago he was found
to be defaulter to the amount of S25,-
900. His father, though wealthy, re-
fused to make up the deficit, and also
declined to defend his son. Mover,
then twenty-three years of age, was
sentenced to five years Imprisonment
for grand larceny, and has just been
discharged, but does not regain his
freedom. The original indictment con-
tanned thirteen counts for larceny, for
gerry and embezzlement, and the un-
happy young man is now in jail await
ing trial on twelve of these counts.
Neither the bank officers nor the father
show signs of relenting, and the pros
poets of the prisoner for good time in
this world are far from bright Chicago
