REPORTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
The following is an extract from recent
letter of Mr.. Russell, the correspondent OF the
London Times in India:
"The climate produces depression, sleepi-
ness. and dislike to exertion 10 q new conner
developes feverishuess aud diarrbea, and
renders the very sight of quilts and paper
loathsome. But there is yet another and a
greater difficulty in the habits Of life OF an
Iudian csmp-the early rising which obhgss
one to be up before there is light enough 10
the tents to see to write; the ride, which IS
necessary not only for health's sake, but Tor
hearing and learning the news such as II is,
and seeing whatever is to be seen, which ~
sure to occur early in the morning; then the
return 20 breakfast, after which the heat IN
the tents s sweltering, and the dust utterly
iutoIerable. If fly to the top of the Dill
koosha there is the society Of old scqualh-
tances, nd gossip, the want OF shelter, the
curiosity of watching the enemy, the iol-
lowing Of every round shot With the eye, and
spying through glasses at oil objects, ami
mate and ipsnlmate, the excitement OF bear
ing the cannon.b balls roaring overhead and
the bullets pinging against the walls, the ar
rival of the humble tifin from the mess tent,
some tough sand wicbes. bad water, and
dreadful brandy or acid beer; then the melid-
ian power of the sun, and the drowsy hours
of shade-seekug; then tho waking up OF the
enemy, aud the fire renewed; tho cool OF the
evening when one must ride out for hsalth's
sake; the mess dinner st sundown; the in'
slant desire to sleep;-aiE these ara great
enemies to writing. 1t is strugge-if sue
cesslul. more than one dsres hope for.

NOVEL HORSE RACE IN CALIFORNIA.
At the Union race course, San Francisco.
the other day, jockey named Jack Powers
won $1,000 on "bet that be could make $50
miles iu eight consecutive hours" The race
took place On Sunday, and it WAS accomplish
ed IN six hours and forty i've minutes He
used twenty fur horses (of the Calfornia
Mustang breed. The fret sixty miles were
done in two hours and thirty minutes. Pow
ers dismounted seventy-two times during the
race. The iartbest any one horse was rid
den at tine was four miles, and the least
distance ono mile. lie ran top speed the
whole distarce.
On taking new horse, be would spring
from the saddle, run few steps to stretch
his legs and Immediately vault into the sad
die Of the animal which awaited him. At
tendants sometimes made the rounds with
him, rendering him drinks and receiving
his orders. About tie both mile little
"Mienanigan" was perpetrated for the benefit
OF thuse behind the curtain. Powers up to
that time had ridden without difficulty. and
sat in his saddle like monument. He now
began to spit Usod, and was taken with q
seemed to communicate itself to the legs.
Dpubters now began TO bet against Powers
which was all that was desired, and consId-
erable sums we're put up, by those who con
sidered the game as over. The only blood
vessel which was ruptured was Sleeps
bladder, which was filled with sanguinary
fluid. AT the close of tho race Powers noun
ted the Judges stand and publicly offered TO
bet five thousand dollars that be would ride
fifty miles 10 two hours; and that no other
man in California could perform the feat be
had just accomplished; and another that
he would accomplish the $50 miles in ti7e
hours, with Eoglish or American stock; to
which there was no response. The average
time of the race is within fraction Of TWEEN.
~ three miles an hour. Powers does. not
hesitate to say that be can make much bet
ter time than the above. He is q spare built
man, with full, sunburnt face, heavy hair
and whiskers, and keen eye. The party
with whom Powers is associated realized
about $4,000 by the operation. Patrons
o! the turf count this as the greatest race OF
the kind on record.
