scrit sarkara and kanda, whence our sugar and candy. The old German word glessum, amber, has become the modern glass; the latter resembles the former very closely. Through the intercourse which the Phoenicians, by means of their factories on the Persian Gulf, maintained with the east coast of India, the Sanscrit word kastira, expressing a most useful product of Further India, and still existing among the old Aramaic idioms in the Arabian word kasdir, became known to the Greeks even before Albion and the British Cassiterides had been visited. — Humboldt. The position of the Cassiterides, or Tin islands, referred to by Herodotus, Book III. Chap. 115, was kept secret by the Phoenicians, who had been dealing with the Celtic natives of Cornwall and Ireland for many centuries, introducing among them many of the weapons and implements which are found in their barrows and bogs. Strabo, Polybius, and Diodorus, each has his guess as to the geographical position of the islands. The trad

uestion of superiority between the beautiful Bettie Ward and the pride of Ascension, Sid Story. Poor Sid, lamed after he defeated the game Lightning in the mud on the first day of the last tournament over the Metairie and never showed again. The Doswell Stake, which will come off on Monday, the 1st April, will bring into the field the crack two-year-olds of their year, in a Sweepstakes of $500 subscription, $250 ft., $50 dec., with $500 added by the Club, heats, one mile. Of the twenty-four nominations in this stake sixteen have been declared not to start and one has died, leaving seven capable of starting. Among these is Ninette, own sister to Planet, and twice a winner this fall; Regret, winner of the Gold Cup Stake, at Natchez, Col. Richards' imp. ch. c. by West Australian; Gen. Wells' b. c. by Lexington; Col. Bingaman's b. c. Tom Reddy, by Imp. Scythian; Mr. Poindexter's b. f. by Imp. Albion; and Col. John Campbell's ch. f. by the "old horse" (Wagner,) out of Mary Taylor.
Metaire Races--Second day. --The race was for the Doswell stakes, for two year olds, one mile heats, $500 subscription, half forfeit.-- The entries were Doswell's Ninette, Camp' s (Minor's) Regret, Richard' s imp. c. by Australian out of Emilia; Wells' Uncles True, Bingaman' s Tom Reddy. Poindexter' s b. f. by Albion, dam by Sovereign, and Campbell's b. f. by Wagner out of Mary Taylor. It was won by Richard' s imp. c. in 1:49 ½, 1:48 ¾. Ninette was distanced the first heat.
New Market races.--Fifth day. --The fall season at New Market closed on Saturday, with two races. The first was a single dash of a mile, $200 entrance, between Mr. Hare's sorrel colt Revenue, Mr. Doswell's Janette, (full sister to Planet,) and Gen. Green's Wharton Green.--An accident marred the enjoyment of the race, the latter horse flying the track and throwing his rider violently to the ground, not, however, seriously injuring him, and resulted in his being distanced in the race. Mr. Hare's colt won the race very prettily over Janette, in one minute and fifty-seven seconds. The second was a match race for $1,000, two mile heats, between Mr. Hare's Bullion and Gen. Green's Day break, by imported Albion. This resulted in Mr. Hare's success, Bullion winning in two heats, in the slow time of 4:23 and 4:37.

He also sold to Judge Hunter, of Alabama, "Ellen Fall," by "Lexington," dam "Laura," by imported "Leviathan," two years old, for $2,500.
the Republican party in twain. It is stated that Sumner has begged him not to deliver it. As he has accepted the Premiership under Lincoln, he is obliged to be moderate. The Greeley wing of the party is left out in the cold. But Seward's moderation comes too late. So, also, the Northern anti-Abolition reformation that seems to be going on. War has begun. We see strange sights. A Democratic President fighting a Democratic State, and relying on Abolitionists for support — his own party having deserted and denounced him. A Massachusetts mob tearing down and burning up a school-house because an Abolitionist lectured in it. New York city, with its business all suspended, crowding the theatres from pit to dome, and, according to the Albion, displaying "an apathy and indifference perfectly astounding. Revolution is canvassed as though it were a novelty in the fashions." As the Dutchman said when he was swindled by a Building Association, so say I--"Mein Gott! vot a peoples!" Zed.
orty-seven. Treasure cease their speculation at forty-six. Jewellers are disgusted with the linsel of life at forty-four. Bakers, manufacturers, and various merchants die at forty-three. The ters td to their choline at forty-two the brittle thread of the tailor's is broken at forty-one. Editors, like all other beings who come, under the special admiration of the gods, die comparatively young — they accomplish their errand of mercy at forty. The musician redeems his last note and plays his dying fall at thirty-nine. The professional dancer shuffles off this mortal coin at thirty-nine. Printers become dead matter at thirty-eight. The machinist is usually blown up at thirty-six. The teacher usually dismisses his scholars at the age of thirty-four; and the clerk is even shorter lived, for he must needs prepare his balance-sheet at thirty-three--No account is given of the average longevity of wealthy uncles — the inference is fair, therefore, they are immorted.-- Albion
