"rnE GREATEST HORSE IN THE
WORLO.O

Foxhall, by King Alfonso, was born in
Kentucky, and WAS purchased for the
small sum Of $3.50. He is dark bay,
with black points, and the near hind
pastern white. He has clean head,
light neck, a back Q trine too lengthy,
but . good barrel, and shoulders OF adj
mirable power. He was the first Amer
lean colt that ever ran in France. The
finish for the Grand Prix was maQnifi-
cent. Archer was riding the French
colt Tristan, and as they came along
the homestretch rode HE very best, and
lifted his horse almost even to Foxhall
A shout of Tristan Tristan was
rending the air from thousands Of ex-
cited Frenchmen, the horses we're al
most past the Jockey Club stand. when
Fordham for the first time raised his
whip. A ont on the shoulder of Foxhall
Ia answered by grand leap forward,
and the Grand Prix Of Paris. with its
10000 francs, is won By Mr.. Keene.

With I27 pounds, he again de-
feated, with the utmost ease, his old
French rival Tristan; in the Cambridge
shire. with 126 pounds on his back, he
defeated Lucv 0litters carrying 81
pounds, by a head. while Tristan came
in third. with lo7 pounds. Among the
horses not placed BY the judge in the
last race, was the Derby victor Of 1850,
Bend Or, carrying l3a pounds. In the
Champion stakes, ten days before tho
CambTidgeshire Bend Or, with 100
pounds, had defeated lroquois with
only lice his back. But We must not
rashly infer anything a. TO the relative
merits Of the two American horses from
these performances, a. lroquois was
quite II pounds below his Derby form.
Foxhail's double victory IN the too great

Tn. Senior Societies at Yale.


 Following is the communication to the Na. ton which we referred to the other day in the article concerning college societies:
 The ''Senior society" evil at Yale may not be question of general interest, but it is 8 question of vital interest to every lover of Yale, in which category are great many of the readers of the Nation. I ask for space, therefore, as graduate. to supplement and reinforce & recent undergraduste's commu- nication appearing in your columns.
 That the senior society system, as at pres ent existing at Yale, Is an evil, is scarcely denied by anyone. Even those who have the time intervening between their election and initiation. The specific evils mentioned by your correspondent are well authenticated, and they are of such nature as to threaten ths future usefulness and retard the growth of this great college. Many graduates will testify that Yale is constantly deprived of donations from this cause alone. One case within the writer's personal knowledge is that of a comparatively Eecent graduate. who, in making his will, gave his property to Amherst, rather than give 1t to Yale, with this system in existence in the latter college
 If, in a class of 1S0, the affections of 15O are thus more or less estranged from their alma mater, it is obvious that unless in fu- ture years the thirty senior society men have more wealth than, perhaps, by the training of the societies they are likely to have, (and even then, unless they are benevolent the material interests of the college are likely to suffer. Why is 1t to-day that Yale cries in vain for gymnasium and dormitories? Per haps 1t is because non-society graduates won't, and society graduates can't, foot the bills.
 It may be said that the above is evidence of a mean and sour spirit. EthicalIy that may be so, but it is believed that it is only in this way that those in authority can be driven to nF ha ncaoaoikrr nf which shall again reunite the scattered grad uates of Yale into band of men full of col lege patriotism, devotion and enthusiasm What wonder that the proverbial enthusiasm of the Yale undergraduate becomes converted into the indifference of the Yale graduate,

when, from the time of elections in senior year, the class Is divided into two factions, of which the non society men, like the But Ter party in Massachusetts, are said to represent the scum and leayings (with here and there an exception)? Nor is his eR- thusiasm for the college increased when, on his return to class reunions, he feels a cer- tain something in the air that tells him he is out of place. The senior society graduate returns again and again to the college and at the stated society reunions (such for in. stance as the tnid-winter bum'') meets and fraternizes with distinguished society gradu- ates and professors, and drinks to the great ness of Yale while the non-society graduate, if he returns once, declares that he never will again. He feels out of place and glad to get away from his old college haunts The above is doubtless an extreme case ,5but it rep resents in excess 8 feeling that exists in a less degree in a majority of Yale non society graduates.
 AS suggested by your correspondent, the Yale alumni can do much to reform the evil. So can the faculty and the corporation. But it seems to me that whatever is done the ini- tiative should come from the societies them selves and doubt not that many of the members of these societies are ready to do all they can to bring about change in the existing state of affairs. It does not seem best or practicable to abolish these societies. Secret societies of some sort are necessary and perhaps desirable feature of our Ameri- can college life. Let the societies increase their size at the same time that they increase the size of their buildings. Let them elect their members on grounds of good fellowship, and SO form clubs, and not mongrel collections embracing in one body the Wealthiest man, the m ost religious man, the best athlete, the best scholar, the most popular man in the class, &c., &c. Let them do away with their senseless mummeries and parade of secrecy, even if they have to go in swimming without Bones" pin in their mouths or retire to rest without Scroll and Key" pin fastened to their nightRowns; or even if they should lose opportunities of insulting ladies who speak to them about these societies. They would find that in the eyes of most people their manliness would not have suffered much by the metamor- phosis. Let them try not to emphasize their superiority by word or deed. Very many are careful in this respect; and perhaps the wear ing of these pins conspicuously Is pardonable. though to see graduates S5 or 40 years old wearing them is discouraRing, unless perhaps they are necessary as passports into our best society" Let these or any new societies be less exclusive and less graspipg, more open, liberal and fraternal. The societies them selves must move, and until they do so we shall all notO with regret the ''conservatism" of Yale GRADUATE.

The Brown Animal Sanatory Institution | (under the government of the University of London) has issued Q circular in which 1t Is | said that hydrophobia occurs in dogs of all ages, and may appear at any season of the year. It is recognized by a change of de- | meanor of the dog, which becomes dejected,
 morose, inclined to roam, and anxious to | hide itself. The animal gnaws at wool, stones, and any refuse which it sees, snap sat l imaginary objects, and becomes unusually
 excited, by strange or sudden noises. It rubs it's throat with its paws, as if striving to get rid of some object lodged there; at the same time there is more or less abundant flow of
 saliva from the mouth. The dog will attack most easily reused to fury by the presence of other dogs. Thsre is throughout the disease no dread of water. In one form of the dis ease, called dumb madness" :" there is paraly-

 One of the railroad companies in Georgia seeks to avoid ability for accidents to enl- ployes by inducing them to sign documents which go by the cheerful name of ''death warrants" These death warrants say that
 'in consideration that the Western and Allan tic railroad will pay him the wages stipulated he will take upon himself all the risks incl dent to any position which he may occupy and will in no case hold the company liable for the injury he may sustain in person or otherwise, by accidents or collision or which may result from the negligence, carelessness or misconduct of himself or other persons in the service of the company, or for any other cause whatever" A brakeman who had signed one of these death warrants was killed, and his wife, regardless of the fact that she he'd agreed not to sue the road in case of &C., cident to her husband, asked for damages. She was awarded $5,0oO by the court. A new trial was secured and tho verdict was made $3, 600. The judge non-suited the case, which was taken to the Supreme court. The Supreme court has reversed the ruling be- low, holding that the question Of damages or negligence was one for g jury and that it's finding should not be disturbed; that an em- ploye of railroad might by contract waive his right to sue for damages not arising from criminal negligence on the part of the com pany or it's employees, but any negligence of omission or commission on the part of other employees Of the road, In connection with their business, from which serious injuries resulted, constituted criminal negligence, and the waiving of the right to sue for injuries resulting therefrom was contrary to public policy and void.
