Lojra Branch, N. Y., July 2. Tho attendance ttt the races to day was immense. It was Um greatest rush that has ever been made to an American race course. The number of spectators on the track at o'clock p. m. is estimated by old stagers at 30,000. The great race of the Hay was for the Monmouth Cup. a dash of two and a half miles, which had 12 nominations of $.r)0 each, play or pay, added to a purse of 1,500; the second to receive S300 and the third $150, out of the stakes. At the sale of the pools Bassett brought 11,800 and Longfellow 1,000. Subsequently, Bassett brought 13,000 and Longfellow f 1,200. The excitement was at fever heat. Longfellow was the winner by 20 lengths. Time 4:34. But little diffiulty was experienced in effecting I start, and the horses got away together, Bassett having the inside of the track. For the first half mile they ran head and head, the only advantage, il any, being in favor of Pas sett. As the horses, warming into their stride, passed the grand stand, the excitement rose to fever pitch. The first mile and a half found their positions unchanged, but the backers of Bassett evidently had misgivings, as their favorite was doing Iii best, while it seemed that Longfellow was still being held in by his rider. Their tears were confirmed

when the horses swept past the grand stand the second time. Longfellow's rider gave the head to his horse, which gallantly responded and quickly placed two lengths between himself and Bas

sett. Ihe scene was indescribable. Men threw their hats in the air and cheered wildly, while the ladies waved their handkerchief's snd Viet countle-s pairs of gloves on John Harper's steed. From this moment it wa.s evidently all up with Bassett, ami although his rider u-ed whip and spur without stint, it was of no avail. Every moment Longfellow increased his lead, and landed him an easy winner in 4:34, or as some of the judge ciaim, in 4:33. Baisett was beaten over ft dozen lengths. The enthusiasm, of the Western men was unbounded. They crowded around .lohn Harper, cheering and OOnsTalnhatino

The Aether Side of Paris Modern Sodom. A correspondent of the New York Home Journal gives the following sad picture of the moral and social corruption pervading tho French capital : What manner of sights and sounds and creatures are likely to surround the path of a modest American matron who may happen to speak and un derstand French, and who wishes to show her young daughter the wonders of that city which claims to bo the metropolis of the civilized world? The pair may promenade Broadway and Chestnut street for years and never meet with anything calculated to disgust or annoy them, provided only that they choose the hours of daylight for their rambles. Miss Anonyma might, it is true, brush past them ami astonish them with the splendor of her rouge and the grandness of her tttire, arid Mr. Deuceace might possibly slare at the pretty face ol the younger lady ; but there all annoyance would end. But in Paris it is not so. An atmosphere of evil hovers over all things, and under its influence there spring to light horrors from which modesty and innocence can neither veil their faces nor avert their eyes. Let the careful moth er, if she will, continue her daily walks to such elegant and frequented places of resort as the Boulevards, the Hue de la Paix, the Rue de Kivoli, or the Palais Hoyal, yet shall she not escape from the vileness which surrounds her like a sea. Acts of the grossest indecency, perpetrated by the well-dressed strollers on the asphalt, or by the elegnntly dressed children that frequent the gardens of the Tuileries and the

Palais Royal, will assail her gaze. Let

her strive to take refuge from such sights by turning to the windows of ft fashionable print-shop, and her eyes will rest on pictures of indescribable indelicacy, daintily engraved and colored pictorial double entenJrcs, and many where the entendre is not double at all, but where the purport of the pictured scene is perfectly unquestionable. She Hies for escape to the photographer's next door, and portraits of shameless women in attire befitting their characters are ihe leading attractions of the window. The image shop acio?s the way looks innocent enough, and she turns to that only to behold the im sodesty of print and photograph surpassed in the marvelously executed little group of clay figures which stand side by side with statuettes of the Virgin and (Mir Saviour. She enters ft bookstore and purchases some of the works of th. leading novel writers of France, ami she sees upon the title p;ige the names

ot such large and well-known pubiilhing housts as Ilachette or Michel Levy ; but on opening the pages she finds herself seeking tor amusement aud in sttuction by perusing minute descriptions of scenes of atrocious vice, if, indeed, the story does not turn upon the perpetration of some crime too horrible for her even to have imagined its existence. She iroes to the theater, and

fro.v her box at the (iymnae or the Comedie Francaise she behold-, unfoldrd before her scenes of unbridled and unpunished profligacy Irom which is to be learned the moral lesson that to be virtuous is to be stupid and uninteresting, and that to be vicious is to be brilliant, charming and successful in society. She takes up a newspaper, the Fiy.im, for instance, and the anecdotes winch crowd its columns will bring scorching bltuhea to her already burn ing cheeks. The trail of the serpent is over everything. The vice, which in other large cities i- like an ulcerous sore un an otherwise healthy body, is here, like a Mrofttlottl taint, pervading the entire system. Woe to the eavstful

mother if she sutlers her daughter to walk the distance of half a block in bright daylight in the most fash it nable quarter of Paris, for French politeness will beat hand to insult her youth and innocence by foul words and looks and insulting touch. Such is Paris; such, I doubt not, was Sodom.

Moral Medicine. There is a moral medicine more potent than the drug of an apothecary the power over the sick, mbummi

kindness and sympathy, on the part of youth, and beautp and womsnliness! And there is a moral poison, more deadly than arsenic or prussic acid or nicotine. Many a pining invalid has been hurried into the grave from the want of sympathy on the part of those who should have watched and loved and cherished with warmest affection, hearts that were yearning, even dying for it, for some

little exhibition now and then of loving tenderness. M Don't leave me, my son," were among the very last words of Henry Clay, as the death-drops thickly studded his nobie brow; it was the instinctive want of a helping hand in the terrible hour. And so do we all in sickness pine for the presence of those nearest and dearest to us, when even holding the thin, bony fingers sends a

sympathetic mrni to tne invalid's bosom. "Crown me with flowers." was the Inst

Execution of a Woman. A letter from Toronto, Canada, datcl June 20, says : The execution of Mrs. Pho'be Campbell, convicte.i of the murder of her husband, in July last, took place in a private manner at the jail here to day. The condemned woman walked from her cell to the scaffold, pinioned, and without assistance, her step firm, her countenance ruddy und healthful, and her whole demeanor that Of ft person in good spirits, satisfied with htrself and all around her. On the scaffold her clergyman made a statement corroborating her last confession, and bidding fareweli to all, and advising all to take Wanting from her unfortunate position, and requesting all to meet her in Heaven. The dron fell

at 8:27 a. m. The rope was apparently too long, as her feet nearly touched the ground, Chough her neck was instantly broken, and she died without a struggle.

There were some Parisian dogs who managed to escape being eaten during the siege. This fact has lately been dis covered by the French Society for the Protection of Animals. A medal has been voted by that body to a poor woman, who, singular to say, kept twenty stray dogs safely through the whole siege, although offered no less than 200 francs a piece for them for culinary purposes.
