Very early in my professional life, and therefore a great many years ago, I was consulted by n gentleman of large for? tune, well known on the turf, under tho following singular circumstances. It seemed that my informant, in the course of that year, had a race-horse, which was first favorito for ono of tho great races, and that this horse had broken down most suspicion ely while almost in the aot of winning the race. The owner-I may call him Mr. Stanton, although that was not his real name-Was exceedingly annoyed and disgusted, and particularly displeasod with bis trainer and jockey, by whom ' the animal was ridden. Ho resolved to dismiss the jockey, break up his stables, and give np the turf alto? gether. < The jockey, whose name waa Tom. White, had previously stood very well in tho racing world, as a keen and honest lad. He had been distressed beyond measure at his failure, and had shed bit? ter tears in, the moment of defeat. Ho assured' Mr. Stanton that the accident must have been owing to foul play-that the horse bad been got at somehow-and that without greater precautions than had been used, no gentleman need at? tempt to train. . Mr. Stanton believed that this was substantially true, but was firmly oon 1 Tinoed that Mr. Tom. White was not un? acquainted with the source of the .cala? mity. He therefore remained firm to his resolution of selling his stud, and dis? missing White, which last be did. Tom. got an engagement in the North, and left that district of country altogether, n Tom made but. little remonstrance against his dismissal. What he most seemed to feel was leaving the yearling colts, ia which ho had taken much pride, ; and in particular ono of which ho had great expectations, and had called, on his own account,' the "Bed Hover." Ho woe rather a bony, shapeless animal, and judges thought little of him; but Tom, who reveredo one's opinion but his own, was ffff'o^ loud in his praises to his maeter^\? S .last words, as he was leaving, were, "Don't 'ee sell the couts, squoire-don't 'ee sell "Red Rover" he bq a rare 'un, he be;" and with this friendly caution, Tom White went ont on his way, and was seen no more. In tho spring following, Mr. Stanton advertised his stud for sale. Two days before the time appointed, the stud groom presen tod himself to Mr. Stanton, while at breakfast, with a face of ashy paleness and trembling limbs. "Please, air, 'Red Rover* be stole," was all his faltering tougue could expr?s. " 'Red Hover' stolen! That is impos ble, my lad. He was locked up in the stable last night-I saw it done myself." "They be off wi' him this morning, anyhow," said the lad. "His stall WUK empty when we went at 7 o'clock, aud we can't see him nowhere." Although Mr. Stanton had not the same exalted opinion of "Red Rover's" capacity that Tom White had, he thought him a promising colt, bot so utterly un? formed as hardly to have tempted a "professional" tc such an act. But the k^audaoity of tho theft made him rory in ^^fcgnnut, aud determined him to find out the perpetrator. The examination of the premise? threw no light on the mystery, excepting that it became certain tbut, however ac? complished, tho theft had not been com? mitted by violence. Nothing WUK broken -nothing out of order. The looks were entire, and the bead mau in tho .st able; oorroborated the lad in attesting that th< doors were found looked in the morning. Such was tho tale with which Mr. Stan ton resorted to ray advice. No chu whatever could be found to tho perpe trator; n?tese the ordinary and simple ono, that tho atablo servants had con nived n.t. tb? theft. But Mr. Stantor owned that there had been nothing ii their manner to warrant this suspicion although he was entirely at a loss to nc count for the outrage on any other sop position. I did all I could under the cireutu stances. I advertised fur and wide; ] warned the great railway line?, aud em ployed the most eminent defectivo whoa Scotland Yard could furnish. But no the slightest trace could bo discovered exooptiug that a man had boen stoppot at Hexham, with a colt of which hi would givo sc sr.tisiictoi'y soco un t? hut as it was a grey, and "Red Hover' was i reddish-brown, the magistrate'not onl; would not detain the mern, but repri mantled tho police for apprehending hin whon they had tho description of th stolen horso in their hands. Nothing had been heard of Tom Whit ainoe hj* ^W^^^W*ne M^^nioQ's BaBa ?hst S To?. Tv??te h&d been in the district hie waa Dot an likely to have boen of naoin th?it?qoiry. Bat no one bad seen or heard of bim. and Mr. Stanton was obliged to eontont himself with a second- dismiss*! of his servants. The detective was always under the impression that the man at Hexham waa trnly the thief, and made no secret of hie opinion that the magis? trate who liberated him was a donkey; but be was a taciturn poten tutu,-by na? ture, and never condescended to explain a clue which he had nevertheless followed up until it broke. Two years afterwards thero was some curiosity excited at ono of the great races of tho year about a horse which was so completely "dark" ss to bo almost out of the betting altogether. Tho name of tho owner under which be rau was a turf uame assumed for the occasion ; but he was understood to be the property of, or at least to be vouched for, by a well known half-squire, half-trainer. But what ho was, or where bo was, no ono knew. The "outs" were utterly at fault. They could not discover the placo nt whir h bo was training, and as no efforts they had made had led to any result, unfriendsd as the animal washy backers, thero was considerable expectation croat ed on his appearance. The horse could not bo heard of tho night before. "Deserter" bed not re? pelled himself. But wbon tho ground was cleared for the preliminary canter he appeared, and great was the rush to tho front to see him. The first glimpse of him showed he was formidable; tho long swinging, well extended stride with which he took his canter impressed all the knowing ones. Ho -was large and sinewy, powerful as well as handsome, but his color was a kind of mottled chestnut, such as is rarely found in tho thoroughbreds. CMri Stanton was there, and, to his surprise, saw his old frieud, Tom White, mounted on the cynosure of the day. The race was never in doubt. The stranger, bard held, remained behind the front horses until 300 yards from tho post, and then, let out, ran home by himself, amid the shouts and acclama? tions of the multitude. The rac? over, ..Deserter" vanished as mysteriously as he same, und, in spite ol Mr. Stanton's inquiries, no tidings ol Tom White could oe discovered. A week afterwards a groom arrived at Mr. Stanton's, leading a reddish-brown thoroughbred of great power, and deli? vered to Mr. Stanton a note to the fol? lowing effect: ".Mr. Stanton-Sra: I send you bael) the 'Ked Rover,' os I borrowed twe years ago. I knew he could do it, if ] got him away from the nobblers. So ] borrowed him, and I beg your pardon ii it was wrong. .1 have paid into youl bank for you ?2,500, which was the stakes, aud I hopo you will overlook th? time when 'Revenge' was nobbled. Youl most obedient servant, T. WHITE. "I am off to Australia, and have mad? a pretty penny by tho 'Deserter, ' whicl was 'Red Rover. !

"You;see, sir,rt said Tom, M 'Revenge he was nobbled. Not that I knows wh did it, but I knows no other scouudre but one who could have done it. punched his head handsome for it, hov ever, soon siter. But I durst not hav split, and had to go; and s?rveme righ Only it broke my heart to lose the nw and leave 'Red Rover.' "There's a many people," said Ton "thinks they're judges of a horse. Thei swells think it, and snobs, and knowin coves of the ring. Lord bless you, si they knows nothing. They goes, an they looks, and feels, and tries a wal andu gallop, and looks wise, and thinl they are fly ko everything. If you wai to learn about a horse, you must see hi all day and every day. They are lil tho women, sir. Unless you seo them i all weathers, you will never ku ow an; thiug about them, and even thou it is m much to trust to. I knowed 'Red Rovei He was a rough 'un to look at, and i one but myself had a thought of what 1 could do. But I knew that for his n< he was a flyer and a stayer Riich as never mounted afore. "Well. I hears that 'Red Rover' was lie sold. I was mortal sorrj*, for I thong! to myself that he would help tho equi to win back the mouey he lost on 'R venae.' Rut selling was a thing I con not suffer. So I resolved to steal him for the squire. "This was tho way on it. Whoo 1 w I a bit of a boy, I used to travel wi \ Duerow, and learned a secret or two i horse-pnintiug worth knowing.

" ' v ., THE BAHEFOOTBD FISHER Gnu,. -The following ia from the Milwaukee Wiscon? sin: While otir steamer Norman lay wood? ing up at Port Oneida, on tho Michigan ahore, there came aboard a pleasant bare? footed German girl, with a pail of berries. She wore a cheap calico dress, minns tho hoops, with a little gingham shaker, nearly hiding her face. She was rather under/size, with a supple figure, and au air of modest assurance that denotod a girl of genuine stump, but that told thu boys to keep out of lier way. All tho men about tho boat and deck seemed to know her. The steward bought lier ber? ries nt her own prioe. Thf) clerk at the oflico touobed his hut to ber as if in thc presence1.-of >a! duchess. ;"That's tho smartest girl in Michigan, " saul tho engi? neer, aa ahc '"pas3ed out tho gangway. Tho girl gave noheedtoadrairing glances nnd compliments that followed her, but straightway sought her little fish cabin, where abo was nioudinrg nets, bj tho shore. , On ioqniry of tho' ola* dockman,' we learned that our little barefooted maiden, though OE iv seventeen, waa the oldest of a family of an even dozen, living in a little double log cabin on the high bank above tho shore. Her father carno here from Buffalo, some dozen years ago, went to clearing timber, selling wood to steam? boats, and raising stvff on his land. La? nie, tho oldest girl, was tho "little cap? tain" from the start, and showed pluck beyond lier years. In winter she would get on her boots and be out amongst the wood choppers before she could hardly waddle through the snow. lu summer she would wandor off berrying, or be down among tho nets or fishing boats. It was her greatest delight to get on the water, to rock and toss upon tho waves. At ton she was a trim little sailor herself, and would coast off for miles alone. At twelve sh? would allow no boy to pass her with sail or oar. For tho last threo years "Lauio" has been master of a handsome fishing craft and a set of "gill-uets." She puts them out early in April and continues them till lato in tho fall. Sho is out every morning by daylight, and again in tho evening, except in tho roughest weather. She takes a younger sister along to help set and draw the nets. She often brings iu a couplo of hundred fine lake trout and white fish nt a haul. She dresses them, dries out the oil, packs and sends them away to market. Her August and September catch amounted to over 8300. Beside her fishing receipts, she has taken in over $170 this season for berries, piokod at odd hours by herselfj^fdsister. All her moneyja^a^Ler^??. Mouth after month jigm ^?ft^fn old sacks and s^ocki^BBil^HWflis bed ; night after night he guards it with sabre and pistol. In all, she is said to have earned bim over 83,000. Of course the old man is proud of his girl, and tells of her exploits with the liveliest twinkle of satisfaction. Lunger and hardship seem uuknown to her. Shu will go out iu any blow and como in with full sails. Hor white mast and blue pennon are known by people far along tho coast. Boats salute her in passing; boys swing their hats in proud recogni? tion. Without knowing it, Lanie Bor fein is a heroine. INDIAN SUMMER.-The New York Far mers' Club speculates upon the canse of Indian summer in this wise: Tho warm, smoky spell known us Indian summer, which is perhaps moro peculiar to the N or th -canter H States of America than to any other portion of the globe, always occurs after the first killing frost, not tint first white frost, bnt one which is severe enough to bring down nearly all the forest leaves and kill the herbaceous plants. The bulk of vege? tation thus destroyed is almost incalcu? lable. In its decay this is undergoing slow combustion. Who can calculate tho amount of smoko and heat given off, or what effect this must produce upon tho atmosphere, or tell whether thia is not, tho true cause of Indian summer? In support of this theory, tho fact ie patent that when forests were much more extensive, the Indian summer was longer, warmer, and more smoky than ut present. SINOUIJAK REQUEST OF A CONDEMNED MuuDKHBit.-Pike, who is to be bunged at Concord, New Hampshire, on Thurs- ? day, for murder, makes a request, which will probably be granted, that a quartette of young ladies in Concord, who bavo often sung io him and other prisoners, bo allowed to remain in his cell aft oralie ! passes ont for the Inst timo and sing while preparations to launch him into j e ter octy aro being concluded ; that is after tho cap is drawn over bis face, while the straps and ropes uro being ad? justed. Ho also requests that no relatives I of his victims shall be admitted to wit I ness his death.

SCOTT, Go? vernor of the State of South Carolina. WHEREAS, information han been received nt this Department, that portions of the County of Sumter, in said Stato, aro in? fested by bands of lawless and unprincipled men, who, nuder pretext of suppressing illicit traffic in colton, have wilfully and maliciously set Are to and consumed tho storehouses of citizens, and openly uvow their determination of perpetrating similar outrages upon tho pro? perty of others, unless tho threatening notice? served upon them hy these wrong-doers aro promptly obeyed; and whereas, those unlaw? ful parties are regularly organized, armed and mounted, and, disguised in fantastic cos? tumes, prowl about at night, in bodies too strong to be confronted or arrested by thc peace officer? of the County, and thia, in dero? gation of the laws, in violation of tho peaco and good order ?if thu community, and tho jeo? pardizing of the lives and psoporty of tho citi? zens. Now, therefore. I, ROBERT K. SCOTT, Go? vernor of the State of Son th Carolina, do here? by issue this, my proclamation, enjoining and directing all Magistrates, Sheriffs, and other otticors of tho peace, in said County of Sumter, to bu faithful, vigilant and activo in the up? holding of the laws and in the discharge of their duties, and especially in ferreling out, and bringing to punishment, the porpctrators of theso ncfearious outrages; and I would earnestly invoke tho aid of the law-abiding citizens of the Connty, of those who have an interest in its reputation and prosperity, that they all discountenance aud discourage all measure* and proceedings teudiug to violence and insubordination, and especially those which would Bunstitute for the pcaceablo pro? cess of the law the torch of tho nioeadiary. Incendiarism, at ull tunca and placea, is a crime of the gravest magnitude, hut ita terri? ble teachings make lt doubly dangerous in a community like oura. If those who pretend to possess the property, thc intelligence and tho morality of the community resort to it, under the pretence of enforcing law, or punishing dishonesty, they must not bo surprised if others, not so favored, smarting undera sense of injustice and wrong, by which, perhaps, they hove been defrauded of tho hard-earned proceeds of tfieii- labor, and their families de? prived of food, clothing and shelter, (and such cases aro not Knlrcquent,) should rr sort to tho ! same nummary process for redress. Tho pro ! tection of law being withdrawn from property, I and a self-constituted and irresponsible body I of individuals assuming to themselves tho power of pronouncing upon the guilt orinno I ?enco of individuals, alleged to bo dishonest, I but too frequently because they are personally I or politically obnoxious to their accusers, thc I Hood-gates of anarchy and crime aro at once i opened; antagonistic associations will be or-J ganized. and the community become the ploy [of hostile factions, 'primarily exalted by re-j I vengo, hut which will eventually bu character- j ized by plunder und license, and thc exhib? lion ot thc worst passions of human nature.
