The dictanee was arcoiiipliKhed in five hours and thirteen minutes unexampled time foraridoof lui) fonwecutivo miles un der oxiMtinfjcirruiustann. Wo let Mr. Lowden t ll tho ntry of his wild ride. "In tho Litter part of tho year 1N.'1 Admns it Co. and Well, Furo & Co., the rival express companies, with Cram, Jiodgers 5c Co. ami Kliodes A; Whitney, tho cuiim ctimc coiiipaiiics between Shasta and Weiiverville, c"!iiiueiieed racing their expresses with horwhnok me'M ngers. Alter many hard races had been vim, first one and then tho other winning, in December, it seemed to havo been arranged l,y (ho t hief companies that they would run the presidents mesHK'e from San Fran cisco to Portland on tho arrival of tho mail steamer and then htop Mt-itij,'. "Great preparations wero mado for the race, and nil tho fast horses ulon the road were pressed into service. A? hi'lt as $100 vas paid toownersof horses for tho privileo ,f riding them from threo to live miles. Everything wim in readiness about the sth of December. Horses were placed ubotit four miles apart by each company, every horse hav ing a man to caro for him, wilhun extra horso to rido himself. At lea.st that is the way I had my stock arranged. Both relays of horses wero under t-addlo from tho 2yth day of December, 1851, until thoQd day of January, 1KV5, on which date I mado my part of tho r.ico. I roue for Adams & Co. "Tlio raco WiM a very loso ono from San Francisco to Tehama. Wells, Fargo & Co. led WMarysvillc. Between Marys ville nud Tehama Lu.sk, Adams & Co.'s messenger ia.-seil Wells, Fargo & Co.'s rider, and tho Mexican who took the bags from La:,k reached Tehama fir.-t and crossed to tho Tehama side of the river just as Wells, Fargo & Co.'s mes senger arrived at tho opposite bank and jumped into tho boat. "Now my nice commenced, I sprang into tho saddle, with saddlebags weigh ing fifty-four pounds, mid rode nineteen horses to Shasta without Uniehtng tho ground but onco during Unit part of Hie race. That whh at tho Prairie House, win ro Tom I'linn, the man in charge of my horse, had got iuiou light with tho man who kept WWV; Fargo & Co.'s lioi'.:e, and had let my ImrMi (Toni JIc Turk's gray) get 1. 1 saw tho sitn,: tion, and ridi.ig my t'.n d lmrso a little past where the I'gl.t w.is going ti, f prang to t'le ;:r .nud, caught tlie f'rtsli l.oise by t!i" ! .:i ; l.o was runniiijf away from me mi,! v . ii.to the Kiddle ov.T Lis rump.

"I reached Shasta sixty miles in two hours und thirty -woven minuton. 1 was detained there almut two minutes to di vide tho express matter, I taking tho Weaverville portion and Jock Ilorsoly tho through pouch for Portland. I had niuo changes of horses between Shiista and Weaverville and reuchetl the latter place in five hours and thirteen minutes from tho timo 1 left Tehaum. From Shasta to Weaverville, forty miles, tho rido was mado after dark, with alight snow falling, but when I reached the mountains und had my faithful horses to rido Wildcat, Comanche, Greyhound, Pomjiey, Jack and the Bill Klix liwrso a little snow did not make much differ ence in speed. But I was myself in had conditional tho end of this rido. Iliad lost my cap and my hair wa.s a solid mass of ice. 1 wore no clothing except flannel drawers, undershirt and boots, unless my belt, with pistol and knife, might bo considered clothing. The cold first necnied to penetratu mo when 1 threw the express bags into the office at Weaverville. 1 had not bit it before. "I was so far ahead of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s messenger nt Shasta that they t. topped tho race so l'.-.r as that company was concerned. It was well that they stopped, for Jack Iui-ely incdo a splendid ride to Yrr!;u, and w is half way to that j L: o when Wells, Fargo & Co.'s mer.se, i ;, : rvaelii-il Shasta. My stock and help for this race cost Adams & Co. about $.',21111. 1 made other races, long Hiid short, bat considering the weight 1 carried, ihe weather and tho time of day that I made it. I havo al ways believed this to lie my best olio." More may be said in regard to the narrator's condition on arriving at Weaverville. The live hours' strain on nerve, mind and muscle had produced complete exhaustion, and it was always related that wheu Mr. Lowden sprang, or rather sliiU from his horse he dropwd to the sidewalk, und hud to be assisted to bed. But a thorough rubbing, an oc casional potion of "Mountain Balm" aud a good eieep soon revived tho hero of the greatest race ever made in north ern California. Rohnt rville Herald.

The Scutch bey, however, was etpial to the occasion. Ho rodo out through tho line, and walked his horso up an 1 down in front of the rilVs. "Now," In said, "if you must fire, firo at nio!"

Occasionally some person knocks a! the door of Jay flouM's officii in the Western Cnion building with a copy of "Tho History of Delaware County, Is'ew York, by Jay (build," to sell. An iiu-pres:-ioii exists in tho minds of many people that Mr. (iould is desirous of suppressing this publication as com pletely as possible, ami that ho will pay almost any price to get possession of the few stray copies that nro left. Resi dents of Delaware county are authority for the statement that several years ago an agent of Mr. (build's scoured that county for these 1kmi1;s and bought near ly all of them at fancy prices. When ever a copy of this particular history of Delaware county is displayed in that county at the present day tho older resi dents will advise tho owner, "Jist you take thet clown ter Now York, an Jay (fould'U pivo yer thirty or forty dollars fer it." It is certain that nolnsly in Mr. (iould's ofiico ever hoard of his paying any such price for ono of those looks. And nobody is able to explain why Mr. (build should want to suppress the pul lication, unless it is tliat he thinks there is too much sentiment in it for a man of his present reputation.

A man with a passion for psy chic:.! research has been proving this by oinc oprriinents which are, to say tho least of it, original.

Quarterly He view. Itiro 'uml Wheat at Wedding,., Throwing rice and wheat at a wed ding is a rtlie of an old Roman custom, and has probably lvn common in Eng land since Uoinati times, lirand gives several authorities for it. Friend refers to tlie case of the bride of Henry YH at llristol in 1 st, when wheat was thrown upon her vkhtho greeting, "Welcome and u'oimI liu k!" Kiceis used similarly at weddings in India, and the substitution of this grain for wheat in our own country of late years may be partly due to that fact; but where wheat cannot readily become at rice would nanirally suggest itself as a substitute.

Tho A .-tor Houso has among its regu lar pat runs of tho lunch co niter in the rotunda one gentleman who for a period of ten yeas, summer and winter, has scarcely varied his diet for his noonday meal. Ho is a tall, athletic man, always well dressed and appears to lie, if not wealthy, a man in excellent cireinn Btances.

Tho gentleman for fully a half score of years has not altered this order. Whether ho is interested in a dairy and desires to popularize a milk diet no one seeniH to know.
