Excitin? Contest . fayctte. LaAaTKU?S 81W 38 COIiO. From the Lafayette Journal, of 3a.turL'a7. The wood-sawing tournament about 'which so much has been said and written, came off yesterday, according to announcement, and was a complete and decided success. It was something more it was the biggest thing that ever occurred in the State, or even in the West. The day was beautiful, though a little windy, with just enough of sunshine and chill to make wood-sawing almost a positive luxury. The aifair was witnessed by not less than one thousand persons as near as we could judgn, though people kept almost constantly coming and go'.nz, on toot, horseback and in carriages and wagons. The procession formed in the following order:. 1. Lafayette S;lver Cornet Band. " IT; Young Men's Christian Association cn?, as lotiows: oi. inomoson, Graham, N. G. Hoover. Frank II. Leveriujr, D. II, Flynn. Wm. T. Underwood, Edward -Ball, G. Clay Smith and Thos. Emerson. 3. Iloosier Base Ball Club nine, as follows : Messrs. Martin, Tinney, Iluod, Urown, -Gallagher, Jenners, Rhoad?-, Weisenbergir and Kurtz. i. Unknown (Fenian) nine, as follows: Messrs. Murdock Conway, Haggeity, Geary, Swift," Monahan, Conueil, Griffin and Downey. 5. Independent nine, as follows: Grieve, Ellsworth Watkins, Jeff. Wilstach, Preston, Sleeper, Snyder, Inskeep and McCormick. G. Earl & Hatcher's three-mule dray, loaded with saw-bucks. 7. Citizens and friends on foot. The line of march was, as previously awannged, up South Street to xSist'n, up Sixth to Brown, up Brown to Ninth, up Ninth to Elizabeth, upon which street, at the junction with -2fioth, the wood was stored in four beautiful piles of nine cords each. The sawers marched with their saws at what tactics call a right shoulder shift. The Hoosiers were dressed in the uniform peculiar to the club to which they belong. The other boys were garbed in their working clothes, , and all wore that martial and determined look so noticeable in those who have resolved " to do or die." Arrived at the ground; some little time was consumed ia arranging the preliminaries. The principal or primary contest beins between the Hoosiers and the Young Men, these two , organizations tossed up for the choice of piles. The former winuiug first -.li.Snn ;pfhctr:l the nili' mT thf smith - ...... . . . . .. I - - - . - - .. . . . . . - fml of the wost side of the lot. the others tukiug the north pile on the same side. There was ome little ditfereuce-in the quality of the wood furnished for the contest, but none in the iDeuremeiit, except in that for the Independents, which was nearly three quarters of a cord s-horf . A j ortioQ ot it was also soft wood, aud much easier to sa-.v than either oi' the others. In the other three piles the quality was about equal, though if anything, the Unknowns had a iittie the most hard wood. Everything being arranged and the sawers ia position, at the tap of the drum and music from the band, the fun commenced amidst the almost -deafen ng shouts of the spectators. At ju.-t twenty five minutes alter ten o'clock each man sprang for his stick simultaneously, and each saw commenced at almost, the same instant. It was indeed a grand s;ght, and such a one as was never before Witnessed iu the country. Thirty-six wood-saws .all ra.-piDg through the wood and splinters at one time some of the boys goiug in with all their might and strength, others taking it slow and -eay, after the manner of experienced knights of the saw and buck. The .friends of each party rallied around .and encouraged thein by their presence and counsel, while others stood back and oflered bets at odds in favor of their winning. There was little perceptible difference noticeable in the sawing of each until the first hour or hour and a half had passed, when the piles of those who took it slow and easy began, to grow gradually larger. At a little after 12 o'clock the laborwas suspended for thirty minutes, while the sawers partook of a lunch and hot coffee furnished them by I jnessrs. laylor &cson, ot the Bramble House. ' - , viter luncn the labor was again.; -resumed witr out intermission until it -was completed. At interval during the day buckets of water were passed round to the sawyers, and boys stood ready, bacon rind in hand.r to grease the saws.' ' - . At five minutes past 2 o'clock the Independents : completed their lasti stick having made their nine corda " (threo quarters -short) in just three. tours and ten minutes. -J. he result was hailed wi h deafening cheers. 311-s Lydia Brockenbough then step, - ped forward and decorated each ot he nine with a red ribbon, taken from. her own dress and cut into suitable . lcuuths on the epot, then and there At precisely half-past two o'clock", the Unknown nine completed their iob, having made the time ia three . hours and thirty-'five : minutes. We heard considerable . complaint" from various parties that several of this riarty S'leuieu tueir yui a. in uuiy Bit w - inff the wood once" in 'two. whereas the rules rtquired that it 'should be sawed twice. For our own part, we only noticed ore or two in-tance- of

Novel

coDtest. and after the Independents

had finished their job, the friends of the Uuko wj stepped in au i rendered theui efficient service by placing the wood upon the bucks and holding it while if was sawed.; Taking the contest through between the Unknowns and Independents, and considering the latter's short measure and soft wood, it was verys nearly an even thing with them. At precisely thirty-seven and a half minutes past 2 o'clock, the Iloosier Boys sawed their last stick, making the time in three hours and forty-two and a half minutes, thus beating the Young Men fully ten minutes. As the main contest was between, these two nines, this result was hailed with deafening cheers, and the boys modestly received the congratulations of their friends, a large majority of whom were of the fair sex. The frieuds of the young men seeing they were fairly beaten, kiudiy steppedin and assisted them with their teu or fifteen minutes remaining work. Taken throughout, the contest nras a very even one, and one whiehal!y tested the endurance anJtbottcrm of those engaged" i:i it. The' "result is also one calculated to cheer the heart of many a poor person, who, daring the cold and bleak winds of Whiter, cannot help but bless the brave hearts of those who have so jaobiy" Contributed to their, comfort, if iot to' their very existence. The present results may be summed up thus-thirty-six cords of nicely sawed wtod, Mseventy-two blistered hands, thirtytwo lame backs, nand thirty-six pairs of sore legs. 11 Z : At first no admission fee was charged,- but some of the ladies connected with the Benevolent Society, passecIJt.be "platter," and succeeded in raisings no inconsiderable sum. Afterward, a person was stationed at the entrance, who insisted upon a fee of ten cents for going in. The sum thus raised "-for entraiice -must have amounted to seventy-five or a hundred dollars. t-The whole affair closed up with an -auction sale of saws, donated for the use of the Hoosiers, by Messrs. Falley & Beach, five quarter barrels of flour donated by the millers of the city, Messrs. Beard, Ceiger& Cobler. George Foresman, Breckinridge & Jenkens, and Potter, Daggett & Martin and of a dilapr"dated saw buck donated by we don't Know who. Mr. F. B. Freese engineered the auction. The first saw was knocked down to Wm. II. Hatch--er, Esq., at five dollars;, the second to Doctor J. V . JtJurt, at one dollar, and the others to different parties at various sums ranging from $1 to ?1 50.-- The." first sack ot flour was knocked down to W. II. Hatcher, at $4 50;the aecond to D. rA. Jaines, at $3; the third and each ot the others o Air. liatener. at suras ranging from ?3 50 to $4 50. The premium saw-buck" was bid off by .Colonel Jim. JTullis, at $14. Severa. other-saws were sold, "t which Oeo. Foresman got two. The saws used by the Young Men were donated to the Ladies' Benevolent Society, to be given "by it to such poor people as needed thc-init The whole see tie was photographed by Mr. Smith. Thus ended one -of the most interesting and exciting contests that ever came off in" the country, and one which, judging from what our exchanges say, will be spread utitil we hear of them from every quarter all for the benefit of the poor. " He that giveth to the poor leudjth to the Lord." The Sporting Element In Dress. Wheu "The Fast Family" was produced at Wal lock's, two or three seasons ago, it was predicted by some unfeeling persons of the male sex that the fashion of ladies' apparel would be influenced by it. Some of the fast young ladies who figure in that piece have iheir skirts elaborately .illustrated with emblems of the stable; One, at least, has a row o: horse shoes in velvet upon the periphery of her outer garment. The wonderful chains worn by these young persons had their immediate effect, and Broadway rattled with the shackles and fetters worn by the beautiful slaves of fashion who make of that thoroughfare -a " thing of beauty" and "a' joy forever.!' .. Wa. looked Lii vain for the horsej-shoes,' f owever, though we felt certain that hey jyould.come in time. We heard as it? were,.their "clatter in the distance Not-did our warnings deceive us. Yesterday, on passing the extensive 'show-window of jx. very isuperb module, our attentionwas attracted by the wealth of-metallic ornaments that shimmered there Consp cuous amopj thee were several jbldeu horse. -shoes attached t chains, some of thm the 3ize of the genuine horse" article; others .smaller, suggesting little"9oukejs to the minds of the observing cogitatori Are these to be worn in the chignon, as the fashion papeSs tell vs the keyi of St. Peter now "are by4be Parisian belles? Or has the period arrived "when the cartilage of the noso is to be called to the support of fashion and of heavy golden ornaments, aftei the mode of certain aboriginal- tribes? We look with, anxiety for the appearance ia public ",ot these golden horseshoes. They will form a weet liuk between the sad Winter that impcnrU over us, and the hurdlesome memories of Jerome Park. But the paintei fans, like the poor we have aiwuys with us, they flutter in the air at Jerome Park, eivinsr a J Frenclce&t to the hum of insect lite hroji2hout Westchester County. They repose temptingly in .the windows of the fancy shops along Broadway. A favorite subject upon them is oar!e chease. We

in the title to a spirited French lithograph, now to be seen in the window of a Broadway paintshop. The' maximum of speed in fashion has not been yet reached, and we are watching anxiously for the first young lady with a horse shoe in either ear, 3ad a " steeple chease " on her fan. Bat the ladies have not the sporting element iu dress all to themselves. We know a heavy swejl whose scarf pin represents a boxiog-glove. Numberless heavy swells wear little gold whips in their neck-ties, while horseshoes and horses' heads are very commonly affected. "We hear of au immense pirice having been lately paid by one of our jeunesse doree for a huare meerschaum pipe with a lively hurdle race going on all down the t.tem, around the bowl, and back to the place of starting. Jerome Park is answerable for some of these things. And then the sporting pocket handkerchiefs that one sees in the shop windows. A race horse in the center, with his jockey urging him on. whip and spur. Degs and stags and foxes

hunting ech. other ail around the border. To arrange one's nose with a hurdle racer must be nice. Sweeter still to wipe awa a tear with a po nter dog setting a wuttdcock; but these are luxuries to be enjoyed only by the few, aud we work-a-day people must be contested to go without them. New "Yu-rk Mail. , Worshiping Under CiCifultics. The following admirable dressing down . of a supercilious popinjay, whose self-importance was offended by finding two colored women in a church which he condescendingly patronized, for one evening only, is from the Marshall Repuhlican, published at Plymouth, in this State. After reading the narrative of the transaction, one cannot, help admiring the Christian humility of the colored ladies who consented to sit, during a church service, in the same pew with the white pharisee who afterwards made them the subject of his jibes in a newspaper article. The Republican says : "We find the following, a gem in its way, in the Democrat of last week : " Niggers, free Americans of African descent or, more politely speaking, Lincoln's ' pet lambs ' are good enough in their place, but when they get out of their proper sphere, and mix in with the white citizeus, as they do at one of the churches in this place, it is time they were made to understand what belongs to negro manners. The congregation of this church are opposed to making an African Synagogue of their temple of worship. There is a church in town where they preach nigger; perhaps the owners of these ' colored Lambs ' would- save the "reputation of, that church by sending them there, in place of allowing them to mix in where the congratiou have no taste for negroes or negro preaching." " The above was called forth by a ludicrous circumstance which transpired Sunday before last, st the Episcopalian Church in this place. The junior. editor ot the ii iuocrar, wc ?,re informed honored tuo pastor an J coasresatton with his presetica at evening i service, and not being a very frequent ! attendant, sat uowu on a seat usually ! occupied ty a colored woman au daughter, domestic ;n the iarauy o Mr. H. G. Thayer. At the appointed hour for services, the colored ladits appeared at the doer of the pew, and recognizing its unwonted occupant, hesitated about entering, but remembering that in the House of God distinctions are never tolerated, and observing that their action was attracting the attention of the congregation, they finally suppressed all indications of distaste for the company which had forced itself upon them, and sat down Deside the Copperhead soldier. We commend their example to those narrow minds who give themselves airs even in the presence of the Most High, forgetting that, as 'from the altitude of a high mountain, all uaevenness the earth's surface disappears, so,' from the standpoint of man's immortality, all differences of rank or caste in the human family are lost to sight.' In this instance, although an extreme case, no stain can attach itr self to the ladies herein spoken of, and their noble conduct has given the editor no excuse tor presuming iurther upon s their acquaintance. His attempt to speak for the congregation is wholly unauthorized by a large majority thereof. Where one has expressed sympathy for him, a half dozen haye called on the colored ladies and assured them that their feelings should not be tried in ' like manner again." . u - ":t ! Another Warning " We hear from various quarters that the lobby in again organizing for the approaching session ot Congress: that t in the multiplicity of schemes for the depletion ot the .treasury the members of that body .- are richer - than ever before; and that in assurances of success they are loud and jubilant. We do not doubt the truth of what we hear. But we ! raise the warning note early. The Congress must b as pre-eminently distinguished for the care, the fidelity, the eeonomv and the wisdom wi h which it d'is with the public funds, as the 'hist Congress was for its reckless and shameless prodigality. The country demmds it,. and wo be to thut-iufaiuated poli tician who s!pno.-es that the demand can be d is regard ed:- The people will have retrenchment, and reform, aud if these are not to be found in the action of the men who represent them now, they will see to it that the representation is speedily and effectually

Against one thing the legislators will be called upon to specially guard, and that is the deep, elaborate, and ingenious scheming for increasing the number of ra'iroa is across the continent to the P-ciSc, by Government authorization and. with GoTer'.::if::.t money. The treat success of the r :i ! projected and partlaiiy complet-."! be, tween Omaha and California suo, cess, we mean, in making a Jew tnea needlessly rich, and in putting m;c -y into the pockets of other men who

inevitably hang to the skirts of all such schemes has simulated into activity thousands of speculators, who see in new lines iat contracts, rich commissionefships. and general profusion of expenditure the means of wealth. Backed by railroad men east of the Mississippi, who are looking for profitable Western connections, and by politicians who hope for local popularity , as the result of rushing this thing or that thing through, they will make common cause against the solvency of the national exchequer; aud we fear that more firmness and decision than have lately been found among Congressmen when financial questions were the theme, will be . required to make . head against their well-com-certed endeavors. Gentlemen of the House and Senate, a vast deal of loose talk is annually expended in charging you with direct personal corruption. We believe that instances in which votes are sold are far less numerous than the defenders of the purity ot Our legislation dare claim, and that this talk is due more to your carelessness and. want of industry than to any disposition to err and make error profitable. The country is, however, in such, a financial strait now that a mistake, as the result of laziness or inattention, is so near akin to a crime, that you will not oe held guiltless it you are charged with either. We implore you, then, to sift carefully every item in every appropriation) bill for the army, for the navy and for the civil service; and as for the mammoth sums which you are expected to grant for this scheme or that, outside of the direct purpose of government the protection of property and the punishment of enme let them remain in the Treasury or the pockets of the people until times are far more propitious than .these. We repeat it, the people are earnest for more retrenchment and less taxatiou. Chicago Tribune. LUMBER, IiXJJIIJKIl LIJJIBER !
