The Two Pedestrians.

According to the articles of agree
ment, Weston is to reach Chicago by or
before noon of the 18th instant. In the
event Of his succeeding, his hacker, Geo.
X Goodwin, of New York city, wins
$4,000 Of [. L. Wilcox, also of New
York This is not Weston's first great
walking match. In 1861 he walked from
Boston to Washington In ten consecutive
days, averaging tifty-one consecutive
miles each day and beating time hand
somely. Mr.. Weston is said to be, in no
sense OF the word. a sporting man. :"
lie follows a regular business but has
been very unfortunate Of late. He in
dignantiy denies that there is any collu
sion between himself and interested par
ties, by which they are to realize hand
somely In the event Of his failure to ac-
eompiish the distance of one hundred
miles IN twenty -four consecutive hours
during his present journey. In this trip
Weston will pass through ten States and
more than three hundred cities and
towns.
The second great pedestrian feat now
being attempted is that of walking from
New York to San Francisco in one hun
bred aud fifty days By way of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad the distance is pre-
cisely three thousand three hundred miles
between the two POINTS, so that an aver
age of twenty-five miles per day will have
to be made. Mr.. Seth WILDER Payne,
the pedestrian, is we'll known to the pub
he as an author. He walked over pretty
much all OF Europe some years ago, and
upon his return wrote book of all he
saw, heard and did The object of his
present trip is precisely the same as was
his European tour, and his limiting him
self to a certain length OF time was doubt
less caused purely from desire to per
form a feat of distinction. He will take
copious notes on his way. which will be
Published IN book form after his return
from San Francisco.

A Miners Luck,

The St Paul Press Of the 23d, notes
the arrival in that city OF Mr. j. b, Get
chell, for twelve years a resident of st.
Cloud. and who has been in the gold
fields of Montana for two years past.
Up to last September he had not made a
dollar Becoming discouraged finally he
decided to work one more day, aud if as
unsuccessful as usual, start for home
The Press says;
''In the afternoon he struck what min
ers term pocket, which is a small cavi-
sy in the rock where the melted gold finds
a solid base to check its downward fow
Here, to his utter establishment, he found
a large quantity Of the pure metal depos-
tied in chunks.
There was scarcely Sc worth of dust in
the whole pocket, Jut the quantity of
the pure metal was very large. He i'm
mediately removed ali the gold to safe
quarters and continued the examination.
Seeing no further evidences OF gold he
pulled up stakes and started home, COM
ing by way of the Missouri river. He
expressed the main bulk of his gold to
the mint at Philadelphia, to have it as
sayed and coined. They have notified
him that it will yield him 500, 900. He
has some beautiful specimens with him.
One of them weighs Is ozs., and is al
most p,re gold This chunk alone is
worth S240. 1t is a rough, ire guar
formed fragment, and looks as though
it had been in molten state and had run
into assure of rock and then cooled.
Mr. Getehell represents that the coun-
try is thoroughly worked over. He be-
lieves that it is better ''prospected' than
California ever was There are thou
sands of miners left there who barely
make a living, and poor and precarious
one at that. He says he would advise ev-
erybody to stay away from Montana. His
luck is balanced by 10000 men who never
find pocket, and who will come home

Gen. Sherman's Speech.


At the reunion of the army of the
Tennessee in ST. Louis some time ago.
Gen. Sherman made speech which is
creating considerable comment on account
OF its real worth. Here is an extract:
And last of ell, when at Raleigh, the
sad tidings came. and hung over us all
like pail for days, that Mr.. Lincoln, our
beloved President, had been assassinated
by the coward villain Booth. Even now
tremble when [ think what might have
befalien the people of Raleigh, had not
our men been long schooled in the terri
bic lessons of bloody war. Oh! how
we had all looked forward to that day
when lie should come forth to meet US,
with his tall form and beaming eye, Zap
plause) to welcome us back to our homes,
after our long and devious wanderines
but it was not reserved for him, and an
other did it in his stead, whilst the whole
nation stood by, to proclaim with shouts
OF joy, well done, good and faithful sol
dlers; and now, [, your old commander,
after lapse of more than two years, re-
echo the same sentiment, and tell Y. u,
you hare your reward, not in money or
precious jewels, not In land or houses,
but In consciousness OF noble duty well
done, and In the possession of those
priceless memories that will become more
and more precious as time rolls on. The
day will come when net man in this
land of ours but would share With you his
wealth, could he say, like you, that he.
too, was of the army of Tennessee,
(eheers) and could tell his children that
he had heard the first hostile shot at
Fort Henry, and the last boom Of cannon
at Raleigh.
This army was commanded severally by
Grant, Sherman and McPherson-it is
not too much to say, three of the first
generals in the world Gen Mcpherson
was deemed by Gen Grant at the time
of his death one of the few men on whom
he could always rel y, and who never fail
ed the country when his services were
most needed. OF this suberb soldier,
General Sherman most touchingly said:
DO you suppose any one can describe
to me the bitter anguish of that moment
when Icp herson who had just left me
III joyous health, was brought back and
laid dead at my feet that terrible yell
when the army Of the Tennessee learned
that their noble commander, whom they
loved SO well, would meyer again be seen
In life, and that to them was consigned
the dread task of revenge?
After the death of Mcpherson this
army was commanded by the christian
General Howard, now at the head of the
Freedmenis Bureau.
