The reason for this was that under the law of that State a man sentenced to imprisonment for life may claim and get his discharge at the end of fifteen years, which was what the court wanted to prevent. Still, unler the three-fourths rule, good behavior will reduce the 99 years to 74, and if the prisoner is of the family of Gen- body servants, he will live long enough to breathe the air of freedom ence again.

A much better tone is observable among the newspapers of the East on the subject of Chinese immigration. 1 The facts that have been laid before them both in the speeches in Con gress and in the investigations under taken, have led many journals to the conclusion that the people of this coast know more about the matter than they do, and are more compe- , tent to form an opinion. The New York Evening Post and some of the I Boston journals are having their eys I opened.

A Xew York dispatch of the 26th says the Mexican Hider Peralta suc ceeded yesterday in running twenty five mustangs 155 miles inside of seven hours. His riding from the start to the finish, being six hours ten min utes and forty-tliree seconds. The race was evidently an investment, and as such it proved even more suc cessful than its predecessor, the crowd being immense at the start. The en tire number of spectators was 15,000, 12,000 of wjiom paid $1 apiece. The company was more than ordinarily re spectable; very few betting men and very little betting. Peralta's rising was admired by everybody. The hor- 1 ses behaved better with him than -with Parker. The care taken of Peralta was in marked contrast with the treat ment of Parker. Parker was left to himself and a common stableman; he ate hard-tack, ham sandwich and mince pie, and drank ice water by the quart. He rode always in the same direction, and came in at the end of the 225th mile blind hi consequence. Peralta was in care of Dr. Stanley, and was treated in a scientific man ner. His food was principally beef tea, taken with proper frequency, in proper quantities. He was furnished with fresh caps, with long visors at in tervals of five or six miles, which not only kept his head cool, but also by reason of changes in colors of visors, greatly relieved his eyes. He was also required to change Iris direction re peatedly. He drove his horses much faster than Parker did. Parker's best time was 2:26; Perraltamade sev eral miles in 2:17; his best time, how ever, was 2:14 and -1:12. - A deliberate and cowardly mur der was committed near Empire City, Coos county, May 22d, by a man named llevere Lewis. He shot Iris half brother first in the back and then under the arm, after which ' he took his departure and no trace of him has as yet been found. No cause . is as signed for the murder; but Lewis' crimes, aside from this, are an outrage against all decency, and if any one deserved hanging he surely does.
