for its home and foreign policy, declares
the treatment of the Southern StateB

by unparalleled moderation, olemenoy
and magnanimity, repudiates the pre?
tensions of the Democratic party and its
recent recruits, and declares they are
the partisans of a new policy of recon?
ciliation utterly disproved by the records
of the past twelve years, and an un?
worthy attempt, for the Bake of supposed
politioal advantage, to fasten reproach
upon the fair fame of the country.
CINCINNATI, August 28.-A saw mill
boiler at Gallipolis exploded, and killed
three and wounded two.
WHEELING, August 28.-The Intelli?
gencer has corrected reports from forty
six Counties, most of them official,
which give Gov. Jacobs a majority of
3,206. Reports on the Constitution,,
from forty-one Counties, give a majority
of 1,090 for ratification. Eight Counties
are yet to be heard from on tbe Governor
and thirteen on the Constitution. The
Intelligencer estimates that this will re?
duce Jacobs' majority to 2,500, and in?
crease the majority for tho Constitution
to 2,000.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN., August 29.-Gree?
ley addressed a vast impromptu crowd to?
day. He said: This great gathering I
receive as something which forty years
of aotive and earnest life may possibly
have, in some measure, invited, but
which I did not anticipate. Allow me,
then, when I receive its evidence of per?
sonal good will, and in some measure of
confidence, to make a single remark
with referenoe to one aspect of tho great
struggle now going on in our oountry.
Strategy in politios is the tribute which
?raft pays to Btrength. The wolf skin
proving too short, the fox's tail is pressed
into service to piece it with. [Laughter
and cheers. J You see, at this day, a
groat party struggling to avert defeat, by
distracting and breaking up the host
which is opposed to it. You would not
have Federal office-holders working BO
hard to get up a third tioket if they did
not feel sure that between the two tickets
already in the field, the verdiot was
against them. [Cheers and cries of
"Right, old hossl"? An effort, then, to
diatraot the host on our side is a confes?
sion of despair. As such receive it.
The confession remains; the despair is
not likely to pass away. [Applause.]
MONTGOMERY, ALA., August 29.-Re?
liable reports from all quarters of Ala?
bama represent the destruction of cotton
by the worms as more thorough than
ever before. They have eaten leaves
and forms until the fields are as bare as
after frost. The naked condition of the
plant reveals the fact that the mature
fruitage is not so great as usual at this
season. Fears of almost universal bank?
ruptcy among the planters are enter?
tained. No one expects the crops to
equal that of last year.

ferred to its deadliest foe.

They have anarchy organized in Pope
County, Ark. It seems that the sherill'
and his deputy were desirous of holding
their offices auothor year, and so got up
a little sham bushwhacking, which
proved to bo a great deal nearer the real
thing they intended, two men being
killod in tbe performance. The sheriff
then tried to get martial law proclaimed,
in order that he might hold over, but
the citizens protested, and tho Governor
got bewildered by the conflicting testi?
mony, and things became pretty consid?
erably mixed.
DEATH OF A FAMOUS TROTTER.-Wade
Hampton, a well-known and popular
trotter, owned at one time by Alderman
Doris, of this city, was killed by an acci?

week, while he was being removed from

to take part in the races there. At the
time of his death, he was owned by Mr.
Abram Johnaon, who purchased him
from Alderman Doris, last April.

would cause an excitement similar to
that which attended the visit of Dr. New?

A LOAFER'S PARADISE.-Tho Prov?- i
deuce Journal bas a pleasant letter from
Nantucket, in which occurs tho following
interestiug passages:
There was a time, not immy yours ago,
when eighty-nine whale bhips sailed out
of this port. Then it was doubtless the
most active and wealthy community of
its size ou our coast. Tbe great tire
wbiob laid waste much of the central
portion of the town, a quarlor of a cen?
tury since, induced a partial prostration
of its business. The rapid tilling up of
tbe entrance to its harbor completed that
prostration. Now, only two whale ships
aro owned here, ond we ure told tbnt they
would both be sold on their return from
thc sea. The curator of thc Athentoam
set forth to us the present business of
the town by Baying, "We live hero by
shaving each other, till a stranger comes,
and then we all combine to shave him."
Ile, however, hardly did himself and bis
fellow-citizens justice. They doubtless
glean quito au amount from summer
travelers, bat they charge but little for
what tboy give in return, as compured
with the extortionate prices that prevail
in other localities whitber pleasure-seek
erB resort. They are full of real, unaf?
fected courtesy, generosity und hospi?
tality. A dozen years ugo, tbe popula?
tion was 8.??0; now it is only half that
number. The priucipal thoroughfares
are paved, and grass grows betweeu the
paving stones oven on the main street.
Most of the streets are very crooked aud
very narrow, and the houses are gene?
rally huddled close together, us though
at the time of their erection it were
feared that the island might prove toe
small for the rapidly expanding commu
nity. In some localities, tho house
stand buck of each other in tiers two 01
three deep, and those in the rear arc
reached by labyrinthine windings not in
frequwutly bordered by pea-vines o:
flowering shrubs, though sometimes tin
intricate passage is barren of all oma
mont and attractiveness. Almost ever;
house has u look-out ou top. In Bom
instances, it is a meru cupola, but ofter
it is quito a prom?nade, frequently ex
teuding from eudjto cud of tho house
above tho ridge pole, aui fenced iu wit!
a balustrade. Time was when those loot
outs wore daily visited, and eager eye
scanned the horizon tocatch, if possible
a glimpse of some returning whale ski]
but those days have gono by. They uo1
scarooly surve any other purpose than t
udd to the antique and quaint appeal
auce of tho town. Most of the peopl
here aro in independent circumvtauce
Many ure wealthy. Tho poor class?

tinent," os it is the rule to say her
where there is something to do by wbic
a living can bu earned. Really bealthfi

FOBTV MILES OP HORSE-RIDE IN TWO
HOURS.-Tho announcement that Ghan
Retickor, better known an tho "Califor?
nia Boy," whose won dori ul perform?
ances iu the saddle have won for him a
wide celebrity, would ride fifty miles in
three hours, drew quite a fair number of
ladies and gentlemen to the Hamtranck
Race Course Saturday afternoon. To
enable the young horseman to execute
his arduous undertaking, a dozen fleet
California ponies were in waiting near
tko grand stand, thus enabling tho rider
to cbange horses ut the end of each mil?.
Mr. Reticker has upward of thirty of
these pouies, all selected tor their speed
and bottom, which he takes with him
wherever be goes; but it was not neces?
sary to bring them all into requisition
for this race. Four experienced grooms,
who also travel with the horseman, wero
in attendance. At precisely 2.51 o'clock,
"Chan" stepped briskly from his .dress?
ing-room iu the judges' stand, and sig?
naled for the first horse to bo brought
up. Reticker is n well-built, active, fine
looking young fellow, and was dressed in
a jockey costume, consisting of bliu
shirt, with wide rolling collar and white
cuffs, white corduroy knee-breeches,
white stockings, etout riding shoes, and
a red, white und blue cup. He is about
twenty-two yearB of age, and for the last
ton years has almost literally lived in the
saddle. He waa for a long time in tbe
employ of the Adams Express Company
on thu Plains, and when but twelve
years of age, rode a pony express from
St. Joseph to Sacramento. The wiry
little pony was brought up, pawing and
prancing, and so eager for a start that-it
seemed a rather difficult undertaking for
the rider to mount. With ono bouud,
however, he was in the Mexican saddle,
and the pony being released, made a tre?
mendous spring and was off like a rocket.
The little sorrel went flying down the
back stretch and past the half-mile post
in 1.05, when his rider evidently checked
his speed, and he came in under a steady
pull in 2.20. As Reticker reached the
stand, he leaped from his pony, sprung
into the saddle of the fresh horse which
tbo grooms brought out, and was off
ugaiu before the spectators got through
applauding. On this and the succeeding
circuits of the track, he took his time,
coming in iu 2.34 and 2.33. Reticker
then took a swallow of ioo water, and,
mounting his horse, started off at a pace
which indicated fast time. He came in
in 2.12. Mile after milo was accom?
plished by tho dashing rider, who exhi?
bited no signs of fatigue, aud rode as if
he rather enjoyed it.
At the conclusion of the sixteenth
mile, Reticker mounted aa ugly, vicious
sorrel pony, who admirably answered to
tbe description of Mark Twain's cele?
brated bucking horse. Several minutes
were lost in endeavoring to induce the
animal to do anything except stand on
his hind legs, when he suddenly mani?
fested a strong disposition to lie down, '
and."the Boy" was compelled to dis?
mount and take another steed. On the
seventeenth turn of the track, he made
up for loBt time, coming home in 2.07,
lbs fastest time of the race. The first
tweuty miles were made in fifty-five mi?
nutes, und the twenty-five miles in one
hour and nine minutes. Retioker then
retired to his dressing-room and rested
for nearly ten minutes, when he re?
mounted and continued his ride. It
was then plainly to be seen that he would
accomplish his feat within tbo allotted
time, and have considerable time to
spare, so it was decided not to prolong
the race beyond the fortieth mile. This
was accomplished in 2.30, making tbe
ontire distance, including stoppages and
changes, in one hour aud fifty-six mi?
nutes. As this left him one hour and
four minutes in which to ride the re?
maining ten miles, the spectators an?
nounced themselves as satisfied, and the
race was ended. Roticker was as fresh
as the gentle daisy after a summer shower
when he got through, and did not expe?
rience the slightest fatigue.
He then retired to his dressing-room,
and, after a fow moments, reappeared as
a gushing blonde in an aggravated
"Oully Varden," resembling a small
flower garden. Mounting a fresh horse,
equipped with side-saddle, he started
around the track, his beautiful blonde
tresses flying in the breeze, and resem?
bling the tad of Mr. Plantamour's comet.
When half way around the track, off
came the "Dolly Varden" and the blonde
wig, then the saddle, and "tho boy," ar?
rayed in the every-day costume of a
Bruie Sioux warrior, came dashing down
tho home stretoh on his bare-backed
steed. As he passed the grand stand he
threw off the horse's bridle, and accom?
plished the wonderful feat of riding an?
other mile without saddle or bridle. Re
ticker then donned another full Indian
costume-not the ooBtome of a full In?
dian-and mounting his pet pony, o
beautiful and valuable animal, gave a fine
exhibition of hurdle-riding. He con?
cluded by carrying a oook-stove, a wash?
tub, boiler and a small dray load of fur?
niture, showing the manner in which the
gentle savage breaks np housekeeping
and moves on the lat of May.
The entire exhibition gave the best
satisfaction to all present, and demon?
strated that Roticker is a perfect horse?
man, and is possessed of powers of en?
durance of which few mon can boast.
His forty mile race was accomplished in
quicker timo than a fast express traiu
could make, providing it made the same
number of Btops.-Detroit Press.
A bolt of lightning took a great many
liberties with tho things at tho telegraph
o?lico at Goodman, Miss., some uv?.nings
ago. It molted the wires,- danced a
hornpipe on tho head of a sleeping ne?
gro, unhinged a door, and disappeared
through a window, smashing it in its
progress to "smithereens," and alto?
gether playing the very old Harry gene?
rally. The operator says that at the
time of the concussion ho felt like
heaven and earth had kissed each other,
and that for hoars after his head felt os
if u pile-driver had collided with an earth?
quake.
The Boston Advertiser, a. valiaut Radi?
cal organ, says: "It would h? strango to
bear the voice of Mr. Grtclev mingling
with the voices of Pendleton and Sey?
mour and Blair, of Forsyth, Hampton,
Stephens and the whole corps of unpu?
nished but unrepentant rebels to belittle
tho unparalleled clemency of the Repub?
lican administration, if his agreement
with them concerning the rightfulness
of their cause were not notorious." Has
the zeal of the editor of the Boston Ad?
vertiser for the Grant cause entirely run
away with his memory? Gan he not
call to mind the fact that two of the par?
ties he names as "unpunished and unre?
pentant rebels" resided at their Northern
homes during the whole of the war; that
a third was a distinguished General
fighting for the Union cause, while the
Advertiser editor remained safely at
home, and that Stephens is now virtu?
ally on the side of Grant? Grant may
have au "agreement" with Stephens,
Toombs, Mosby and his other Southern
supporters, but Mr. Greeley's hearty
and almost unanimous endorsement by
tho Southern people is due to the fact
that he is the representative of reconci?
liation, peace and con si i tu ti on al govern?
ment.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
Antonelli, Prince Cardinal and Chan?
cellor of the Pope, died yesterday, in
Borne, at the age of seventy. Antonelli
was an able statesman, and had Pius fol?
lowed bis advice more generally than he
did, the present abatement of the tem?
poral po iver of the papacy might have
been nrrested or postponed for a period.
Lately, the Chancellor advised his mas?
ter to make his peace with the Italian
King, which advice was not to tho old
pontiff's liking.
BROKE HER NECK FROM A SWING.-A
young girl, about seventeen years of age,
tbe daughter of a farmer named Jami?
son, near St. Joseph, Missouri, was
leisurely reclining in a swing, when
she slipped from her seat to the ground.
The fall was only about five feet, but the
girl fell head foremost, and her neck was
dislocated' causing instant death.
