sWeston's Portland Chicago tramp has
created considerable interest on the subject
] of fast walking in general, and some of
{ the newspapers tell of Captain Barclay, an
! English pedestrian, who, In the last cen
fury, walked eight miles in an hour, and
also got over 100 miles on foot in 19
ours. A friend tells US of some of the
srramping exploits of an Allegheny noun
,aineer, named Singer, who lived in
cambria county, and vas timer by
occupation. He travelled several years
ago, and being over six feet tall, his lone
legs enabled him to march at about as
rapid pace as any one we have heard
'of He once walked from Jefferson to
|Ebensburg, distance of nine miles, in
|613 minutes. He had endeavored to
make it in an hour, but failed by a min
ute and half, on account of being wor-
ried along the route by persons on horse
back, who were interested in money staked
on the result. He also tramped from
Pittsburgh to Cresson, "a miles, between
daylight and dark on a summer day. He
enlisted at Loretto during the late war,
and was frozen to death while going toI
|Cresson, on a sled, on the way to the
army.
The foregoing, copied from the Holli-
|daysburg Register, is in the main a cor
rect statement.

How the Military Dospoti.m Works.

Our a9vices from the South already
indicate how the lawless acts of Con-
gress are going to affect the people of
the States out of the Union. The
thieves and murderers are smart enough
to know that martial law is no law, and
they further recognize the fact that in
such mob governments it is the innocent
who are punished and the guilty who are
always protected
From one district in Alabama, our ad-
vices are lawless set of Red Strings "
have taken it into their heads that be
cause the State has been placed under
martial law, that therefore there is no
law to punish crime, and the vicious
and lawless can have their own way and
appropriate the property of their neigh
bors to their own use with impunity and
commit other outrages as well. Last
week band of ten or twelve of these
outlaws, headed by desperado who
says he halls from Maryland, with any
number of aliases, made raid, taking
horses, mules, watches, brandy, ard
other property and compelling by force
good citizens whom they happened to
lueeJ u W WIN lutn 1ucg iuCb a iudu
and his sister in the road with team,
took the animals, and then hung the
man to limb until he was nearly dead,
when they cut him down and carried him
to their camp prisoner.
During the night he watched his op-
portunity and made his escape, and col
lectng some dozen of citizens, attacked
the desperadoes in their camp, capturing
half dozen, the others making their
escape. Four of these have been ad-
mitted to bail, and three, including the
leader, are confined in the Jail at
Wilkesboro.
These men say that their friends are
numerous and they can be released at
any time. They say that there is no
law to punish them now, and that those
who arrested them shall suffer for it
From the statements made by these
outlaws, their organization is extensive,
and they have plenty of arms and am
munition. They profess to be Loyal
Union men," 1t requires no sage to tell
whose teaching is the cause of these
troubles.
1t is not harshly judging of our con-
gressional murderers and thieves to say
they were aware of these inevitable re-
suits of their infamous legislation. Cairo

Celibacy in Paris.
Correspondence of the Evening POst.l

Correspondence Of the Evening Post.l
The increase OF celibacy in France, and
especially in Paris, is still Il subject OF
discussion. The Government which
wants soldiers, the manufacturers who
want hands, the farmers who want labor
ers, and last, but not least, the women
who want husbands, ask everybody, ask
each other, ask in perplexity and con.
sternation ~Why don'tthe men marry p
Pere Hyscinth breaches against celibacy
at Notrc Dame the newspapers preach
against it at the street corners; yet as
one of them despairingly remarks, in an
hours walk from the Madeleine to the
Bastile, one may now meet at least a
hundred thousand bachelors
In former times, continues this writer,
an unmarried man was obliged to exhaust
his ingenuity in framing excuses for his
condition. "Alas, / am yet the victim
Of betrayed affection" Alas, my vii
lain of notary has made away with all
my fortune" "Alas, / am like Werther,
am in love with woman who is already
married" "Alas, | have suffered
much" Alas, l am like Antony, !
dare not mention the name of her | love. :"
But no one ever dared to avow his final
impenitence, he appealed to the compass
sion of his friends for temporary mis-
fortune, and they, credulous, were willing
to exclaim, The poor fellow, he is a
bachelor in spite of himself"
But all that's changed now. From the
top to the bottom of the social scale
comes the unblushing asseveration, |
am bachelor, i have been bachelor,
and always will be bachelor" and
reasons are as fertile as formerly excuses.
81 will not marry, because l wish to
extend my youth to my last days" II
will not marry, because, in 1867, it costs
too much to dress wife" II will not
marry, because | want to have peace at
home" / will not marry, because |
want to be able to spend the evening
where l please without being obliged to
give an account of myself" 81 will not
marry, because / dread mother-in-law
more than hydrophobia and earthquake. "
The writer who lsments these facts
wakes learned, and remembers that in
Sparta celibacy was considered dis
grace, and that a certain yearly festival
it was the custom for the women to drive
all bachelors out of the temple of Venus
with myrtle branches gathered on the
borders of the Eurotas. AS certain diff.
culties stand in the way of the revival of
this classic custom, it is proposed to i'm
pose an annual tax, instead, upon all un-
married men.

Ryesight.

Millions blindness was the result Of
oyerwork and dyspepsia.
One Of the most eminent American
divines having, for some time, been com
PEELED to forego the pleasure of reading,
has spent thousands Of dollars in vain,
and lost years Of time, In consequence of
getting up several hours before day, and
studying by artificial light His eyes
never got we'll.
Multitudes Of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the too
free use Of the eye sight in reading small
print and doing fine sewing In view OF
these things, it is well to observe the
following rules in the use of the eyes
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never begin TO read, or write, or sew,
for several minutes after coming from
darkness to bright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight,
or Of very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front Of
the light, or window, or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on the first
waking, the eyes shall open on the light
of a window
Do not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.
Too much light creates glare and
pains and confuses the sight. The mo-
ment you are sensible of an effort to dis
tingush, that moment cease, and take
walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be
a blush tinge and the carpet green, and
the walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes, that moment
cease using them.
If the eyelds are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them
but apply the saliva with the finger
it is the speediest dilutent in the world
then wash eyes and face in warm
water.-HaUs Journal of Health.

Death from TriOhina spiralis.

II is stated that six cases of trichina
spiralis have occurred in Springfield,
assachusetts-all in the family of
Ransley Hall-from the eating of ham,
and daughter of Mr.. H. died on Mon
day from the terrible disease. Mrs. Hall
is in critical condition. The ham was
purchased about a week ago, and was
eaten without being cooked. The whole
family, six in number, became sick in a
few days, but all except Mrs. Hall are
considered out Of danger. The Spring
field Republican gives the following as
the characteristics of the disease:
The symptoms were quite uniform,
varying only in degree or intensity. The
first one was violent pain through the
eyes, which soon became swollen and
bloody. This was followed by pains in
the stomach and bowels, with vomiting
and very offensive bilious and mucous
diarrhea There was at the same time
and subsequently the most profuse per-
spiration and urination, and the face and
limbs became badly swollen. After the
swelling and bloody appearance in the
eyes had disappeared, which occurred
at about the end Of the third day, the
limbs hegan to be rigid.
When lying perfectly at ease, the pa
tent would feel no pain, but the least
movement of the limbs would cause ter.
rible agony, and touching them in Ger.
tain places would also cause great pain.
Ida, the young lady who died, could
only lie with her lower limbs perfectly
straight; the least change from that po.
sition caused her dreadful suffering
During the irS part of her illness her
pulse was never lower than l30 or lao
minute, while during the last four days
it was too quick to be counted. During
the FIRST part Of that time her hands and
feet were cold and clammy, while the
rest Of her body retained its natural
warmth. At six o clock yesterday morn
ing she fell asleep, and never woke.

Bloody Tragsdy---GsOrgs Walton Shot and
Killed

1t will be recolIected that not many
weeks ago we gave an account OF a
shocking murder perpetrated at Trlune
on the body of George Ryan, promi-
nent Union citizen of that place, by a
man named George Walton. For several
days the perpetrator of the deed was not
arrested, and the occurrence with its at
tendant circumstances created the in
tensest excitement, loud threats having
been breathed by Walton and his asso-
ciates that they intended to drive all the
Union men from that part of the State.
Subsequently Walton had preliminary
examination and was released on $4,000
bail.
As the stage was coming this way
from Triune at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the driver discovered in the road
the body Of Walton lying dead, and per-
forated with three balls At the time he
was killed he was known to have been
driving home some cows, bat the cause
and circumstances Of his death are as
vet only food for conjecture. Shots were
heard early in the morning, but excited
no suspion Of tragic deed. It is said
that a son Of Ryan, the man murdered
BY Walton, was seen in the neighborhOod
Of the spot, and some persons are ready
to charge upon him the homicide as an
act Of vengeance. There are other re-
ports that Walton and three Of his com
rades had been in the habit Of stopping
colored men, and causing forced ex-
animation Of their persons, accompanied
with abuse, aud sometimes blows II Is
surmised that this may have been the
inducing cause Of the murder. All this,
however, is merely coujectured- In fact,
the whole affair Is enshrouded in mystic
~, and no proof has yet been produced
that directly connects any one with The
deed.-Nalh Press and Times, Mar. 26.
