Fast Horses la fevr Tori-
A correspondent of the Boston
Journal writes :
A man is thought very little of in
New York unless he keeps a fast team
What horse racinpr is to the English,
fast trotting is to New Yorkers. The
road is full of teams during the season
and the fabulous price which New
Yorkers pay for a fine team is wonder
ful. when it Is Known tnat a new
horse is to be shown off, whose time
is remarkable, New Yorkers become
as excited over the Intelligence as if a
great battle was to be fought. It is a
common thing for $6,000 or $10,000 to
be paid for a pair of horses. Vander
bilt has long been looking for a team
that will keep Bonner's dust out cf his
eyes. v hen ?10,ixjo dollars amounted
to something, he put up that as
standinc offer for a fast team. He
would cive $20,000 in a minute if he
could find something to beat Dexter.
The great excitement just now is over
a horse known as tne American uiri.
She was sold for o,wo, The price
then rose to $10,000 She trotted on
the Narra iran sett course, and Is said to
have equalled the best timeDexter ever
made. Ua ner return tne owner wa3
offered $30,000 for the horse which he
refused, and ne now r.sxs toiLOUJ.

'THE TOBACCO BO?;.
BY G. WASHINGTON TOES. . "
"Come, then, tobacco; well tried friend,
Come, and thy suppliant attend
1 n each dull lonely hour ;
And though, misfortunes lia around,
- Tbier than hailstone on the ground,
1 11 rest upon thy power;
Thca, while the coxcombs, pert and proud,
The TUtician, learned and loud,
1 cj one eternal clack ;
- I'll tiead where silent nature smiles,
Where solitude our woe betruilea,
And chew thee, dear tobac."
.YThlla musing in the above r-ain,
end extracting whatever I coulJ of
coasolatIonr aa-well aa juices, from
th ETreet morsel under my tongue,
friend Drewler made his appearance.
Premier was not slow in discovering

to fce overcast with
rr.i that rny
thoughts were cf a troubled rjad most
painful nature. - Drewler'a keen eye
quickly divined from the direction in
which mine wandered ; that the open
letter before me was the occasion of all
my sadness ; and he, being of a sym
pathetic turn and rather impulsive,
was unable to contain himself, and so
exclaimed:
- "Toes, what of that letter?"
Knowing too well that I could not
avoid th& question," I firmly replied,
pointing at the same time to the half
opened letter before me :
Drewler,. thereby lies the sequel
to the toft jrepciled tale, unrequited
love i and, einco I cannot put you off,
listen while I relate :
After in arduous term, but with the
laurels fresh upon my brow, and my
Dlaloma in the crowir of my hatr (for
I wore a plug in thoWdays,) I soon
found myself gliding swiftly along to
wards the quiet vales and Green
Mountains of New England, in whose
retreats and fastnesses I hoped to re
gain my accustomed physical vigor,
which had been seriously injured by
long andednstant application.
One pleasant afternoon, while wan
dering among the delightful retreats
oi the'Green Mountains, contempla
ting the grandure of the towering
peaks before me, clotned in all the
majesty and splendor of summer ver
dure; an& listening, enraptured, to
the-fitrain8 of a thousand songsters,
whose mingled ' warblings floated
tnrough green aisle and winding cor
ridors of stately pines like some grand
anthem'' through dim cathedral halls,
suddenly there floated upon the air,
the sweet strains of a low, plaintive
melody-not of bird, or breeze, or pur
ling stream but of a human voice.
TL 4 miilody ceased, nnd-then - - r
Like chimes of silvery bells
Her clear and joyous laugh rung out
Upon the aulet evening air.
Those echoings, so beautiful.
Reverberated tnrough tne towering pines.
Along the winding vales, from peak to peak
so loth to die away.
As the ocean shell forever sings the toillngs
of the sea.
So In my memory ever rings those echoing
harmonies.
How a subsequent meeting and ac
quaintance . with the fair being with
the melodious voice were brought
about I cannot tell, for, to this day,
that poation of my existance seems
like a dimly remembered dream. But
we often met, and under the influence
of her inspiring presence, all nature
assumed a new and more enchanting
aspect. "While by her side, rambling
through some quiet vale, reclining up
on the mossy banks of some mountain
stream, or setting upon some emi
nence, and the cultivated valley be
neath our feet with its vain embower
ed cottages, its fields of waving grain,
and green pastures and teaming life,
nature was, indeed, beautiful beyond
discription, and time flew upon the
wings of the wind.
Her ineffable smile, her lone sweet
voice was rapturous to the senses. I
knew : that I loved her, for Zenobia
was beautiful. Her sylph-like form
seemed the embodiment of grace itself.
Her tinny feet and slender waist, her
gentle heaving bosom, pure as virgin
8now.f and teeth of purely whiteness,
are, all as vivid to my memory as
though our parting was but yesterday.
Those dreamy eyes I shall never for
get. Her sweetly moulded lips and
dimpled cheeks were so tenderly
T.tlr- & Tvnra nrean shell
With pain test red, melting away to pearll-
ness;
and tbe flow of her chestnut hair soon
broke away into the most bewitching
curls.
The "hour w&3 approaching, and
then the Green Mountains would be
shorn of .their central and all absorb
ing charms. However much of pleas
ure and beauty there had been, I
keenly felt that the song of bird, the
laughing stream, the grand old woods
would odly serve as the sad moments
of happier hours. I could not dwell
upon the dreary picture, but resolved
that at. our approaching meeting
which was to be the last to solve the
problem and to know my fate.
We met, and in a secluded nook,
with her small and taper fingers clasp
ed within my own, I told the melting
story of my love. She gave me a pa
tient hearing, and then, with a pleas
ant smile, replied : "I do not love
you
t
"What remarkable change had come
over the spirit of her love, I could
never divine. All that was left
to me, now, were the sad though
sweet memories of that summer in the
Green Mountains ; and now even they
are married, for that open letter con
tains a succinct account of the career
of Zenobia and the enurnen.tion of the
hearts she had captured and then cast
aside the enumeration beginning
with my own. The truth i3, s,3 the
letter discloses, Zenobia was a heart
less Coquette. Ytould that I had never
j learned this tact ! Iguaranc-j U Uis3,
A,
i. : , V : i ,
and 'tis 'more than folly 'tis almost
madness to be wise.
Should there yet remain any of
Zenobia's conquests who have not
learned the real reason of their sad
disappointment and I think there
are some I sincerely hope, for their
peace and quietude of mind, that they
never may.
My story was finished. I gazed
around. Drewlcrhad vanished, and
I took a fresh chew of golden-thread
and felt refreshed.

An enterprising business man of thia

a trrocery and a Dsn market. The
grocery he runs himself, the fish mar
ket by a deputy, and every night the
latter made returns of the proceeds of
the day's business to the proprietor.
A day or two since the grocer found
In-Ms fish, market returns a counter
feit live dollar bill. He didn't like to
lose It, and he didn't quite like to take
the chances to pass it? So he called
on an old darkey who was hanging
around the premises, and said to
him : .
"Sam, here's a five dollar bill that's
a little doubtful. If you will take it
and pass it, I'll give you a dollar of the
change."
"Very well," said Sam, and he took
the bill and went off. Later in the
day he returned having accomplished
the feat, and handed over four dollars
in good money to the grocer.
'1 hat night the grocer, in counting
over tne casu returns from nis Dsn
market, was more surprised than de
lighted to find the identical five in tb.3
pile.
"jook nere, said ne snarply to his
market clerk, "here's a counterfeit
five dollar bill who did you take it
of? Didn't you know 'twa3 bad?"
The clerk took it and looked atit for
a moment.
"Oh, yes," said he, "I remember
now 1 1 took it of Sam the Darkey. I
thought it was a little doubtful, and
wasn't going to take it, but he said he
got it of you, so I thought it was all
right." .

Only a hundred muskets had been
brought into the building during the
night ; but these by a happy ruse had
been magnified in the estimation of
the mob into at least five hundred.
They kept the rascals at bay during
the night, but were totally insufficient
for the regular defense of the building.
With even a hundred brave men be
hind them they could no more have
withstood that infuriated crew of five
thousand than a feather can with
stand a whirlwind. This was fully
appreciated by the defenders, ami it
was determined that If the building
should stand over night, to load it up
to the muzzel in the morning. Ac
cordingly, by the following noon, it
was a perfect arsenal. The first floor
was barricaded with bales of printing
paper and provided with a steam hose
that would have scorched any intruder;
and the second story had at one of the
windows a small cannon loaded with
grape and canister, at the ether, piles
of hand grenades, ready to le hurled
on the rioters. The tlJrd story was
equally well armed, and in the larger
editorial roomwerea dozen forty pound
shells, with fuses shortened till they
would explode on striking tho pave
ment. These,' with a brace or more
of muskets at every window, and a
hundred and fifty determined men.
all under an experienced army officer
completed tne armament of the build
ing. The arsenal, Mr. Greely, entered
about noon on the second day of the
riot, and making hi3 way to the edito
tial rooms, he looked curiously at the
warlike preparations.
"What are these?" he inquired in
specting the shells, which were
arranged in an irregular semi-circle
near one or tne front windows.
"Bails of fire and brimetone, for
those red ragmufilns down there on
the sidewalk."
"But I wanted no arms brought in
to the building."
"Yes, we know it, but Colonel Ad
ams now has command of the Tribune,
and we promise to see this dance out,
if it lasts till doomsday.
Without furtherremarks Mr. Greely
went to his work, and all the day was
knee deep in editorials and exchang
es.' -
Meanwhile a noisy mob wa3 in pos
session of Printing House Square and
whoever entered or left the building
wa3 greeted with 'yells and curses,
and threats, and even rougher treat
ment. " Still a throng of. friends came
pouring in and out all day, and these
visitors so impeded Mr. Gieely's work
that It was 8 o'clock at night before
he had finished his last leader. As it
grew toward dark one friend after an
other went to him urging him toJeave
for home, and representing the great
danger of remaining after sunset. To
all his answers was, "I am not quite
through; I will go in a few minutes."
At last General Busteed came In
from the street, reporting that the
crowd now greatly augmented, were
ciamorinff wildly for "ould Grayley,"
"It i3 absolute madness,"he added
"for you to stay longer," but tho an
swer still was "I am not quite through;
I will go In a few minutes.!'
Eirht o'clock atla-stcame, and then
Colonel Adams and another gentleman
sent out for a close carriage, to be
brought to the side door, and then go
ing to Mr. Greely, accosted him
somewhat as follows :
"Mr Greely a carriage will be here
instantly and we want you to leave the
onice."
"I am not quite ready ; Iwlll go In a
few moments," was again the quiet
reply.
"We insist on your going now. A
hundred and fifty of us are risking
our lives to guard you building, and
you have no right to add to our dan
rrer."
At this tho philosopher slowly arose
and with a peculiar smile said, "But
why order a carriage? I could have
cone iust as well in a street car."
'You couldn't have got a car. Look
down there and seo what kind or a
crowd surrounds tho building."
He looked down and saw wh
might have made a man of Iron nerve
turn a little pallied. The Infernal
regions had been unroofed, and the
devils were there shouting and hoot
ing, and howling and groaning on
the pavement. Such another crew
never got toircther, on this or any
planet ; and as he looked they shout
"Como out, ye ould haythen, come
out; and we'll taiehye a naygur'aas
crood as an Jrlsnman."
"Well they are a bard looking set,"
he said, turning around and drawing
on his coat, preparatory to leaving,
"where could these fellows have
come from?"
He was smusrsrled Into a carriage.
the door closed and in a half an hour
was miles feway safe from his ene
mies."
As all know the riot lasted two days
lonsrcr. During these two days the
Tribune office and its editor were in
almost hourly danger, but Mr. Gteely
came and went as usual, attended to
the duties of his position, as if only
uiet were relfrmna over tne Diood
eluzed city : and all this while some
of the great dailies were posting him
as a paltroon. and even a veneraoie
archbishop had' the bad t3te to brand
him as morally and pm-sicaiiy a cow
ard.
Whatever may be the facto touching
Mr. Greely's moral andpnysical cour
aire, he showed on this occasion an in'
tellectual couracre that constitutes in
very deed a hero. Packard's Month

outdid themselves in their effort to
show the Chinamen the attractions cf
Chiengo. They introduced them on
the Board of Trade and rsccrted them

and mentally stuffxl with the great

curiosity of another kind. TLo.- o at
tending it amu.se themselves a:vi ap
pear to do it to their tatire .satisfaction.
Although I claim the ri.:Iit of rn in-
dividal opinion, and entirely dissent
from their Sunday recreations, I can
not but concede the iiiinion-e amount
of good to be derived from these gr.th
erinjr3. American citizens ca:i learn
much from their German brethren in
regard to recreation and amusement.
An American always carrie the face
of a deacon and taken his leisure hours

robs them of their charm. Tho (Jer-

How many "eel it ses" there are that
are not heralded to the world? Young
men leave bright tomes ami loving
mends, and come to this' city with
ugh hopes, only to !envt? it shattered
n mind and body. What a mourn
ful eclipse that Is. How completely
eclipsed are the lives aud lights c
hundreds of men and women who can
be seen daily in our streets ; poor, d.j
tfiucned abandoned ones, thoroughly
eclipsed for all time to come.
The perfect bcartlessnes of ram
blers and the greenness of their vict-
ms, j shown by an aflair that has
just been fully disclosed. A cashier

nouse and handed a stranger $1.3 to

money was gone, his "friend" advised

The Jiejju'ican'g Washington spe
cial the most important question un
der consideration by the Cabinet to
day, was the recent seizure of tho
Spanish gunboats by Marshal Barlow.
Secretary Fish rnnounced that he had
positive information that theso gun
boats were to be used by Spain against
Peru. Ihe subject was fully discuss
ed, and it was finally argued that tho
boats should be held in the custody of
the Attorney General until a thorough
and impartial investigation of the
whole subject could be made,
1 he fact ha leaked out that the re
cent visit of Judge Dent to Long
Branch with several Misslssippians,
to see the President, that the interview
was not a very pleasant one, a tho
President privately informed Judg9
Dent that he could not support him as
the nominee of the Conservative Re
publican party, but on the contrary
would do all in his power to securo
the success of the Radical ticket. He
further informed Dent that he had
already been much censured on ac
count of the statement that he would
give to him the supportof the Admin--
now that he would notglve his support
toistration.and he wished it understood
him or any other relative, as he wa s
tired of getting bimslf into trouble on
account of his relatives.
Secretary Boutwell has incurred the .
lasting displea3nre of Mrs. Grant on
account of the active part taken by
him azalnst the Conservative Repub
lican cause in the South, upon which
ticket her brother, Jud'9 Dent, ex
pects to ascend to the gubernatorial
chair of Mississippi.
It appears that it was an unlucky
ticket with which Mr. A. H. Lee
drew Crosby's Opera House at the
lottery. The New York Evening
Mail says :
"lie was two years ego a ouiet well-
to-do farmer In Illinois, with means
sufficient to gratify such tastr a. ho
had. lie wa. unlucky enough to draw
the Opera House, tdnce which time he
has been beset by needy adventures
and relations; ha striven In vain to
conform his altered condition, and
finally ha3 died of dropsy of the heart
undoubtedly hastened or induced
by his changed mode oflife. At all
kinds of gambling it is those who lose
that are really fortunate.
