Fifty Mics on a VelOcfpcde.

Walter Brown succeeded very
easily in accomplishing his feat
Of riding fifty miles il six con-
secutive hours at the velocipede
rink last evening. The attend
ance was good, and not i little
enthusiasm was aroused when
the rider began his last mile.
Nearly eleven and a halt cir
cuts Of the rink were necessary
to make d mile, and five hun
dred and seventy three circuits
comI ,leted the fifty miles.
He began the trial at half
past 4 O clock, and rode nine
miles before he stopped. He
then rested twelve minutes,
rode another nine miles, rested
thirteen minutes, made another
stage Of nine miles, and rested
t.. u. nutes. His next run was
u clSlG miles, ana MS stop
nine minutes. Riding seven
miles further, he rested ten mi
nutes, and then finished the
distance in five hours md forty
two minutes from the time he
started. The total running
time was four hours and seven
teen minutes, and the last mile
was made in four minutes and
a quarter. Her seemed to have
accomplished the trial without
great fatigue, and probably
could have made the distance

General Grants Relations.

Happy the man who 80 fortunate as to
boast that he is relative Of General Grant.
II is big thiug-ths certain symbol of sue
csss-the magical lamp Of Allad.n to him
who burgers and thirsts after Office. While
others fear and tremble. and live on hope
deferred, which makes the heart sick, he may
reasonably conclude that hts calling and
election are sure beyond all peradventure.-
Uneasy lies the head of the seeker after Of
flee. Not SO, however, if he il a relative of
our President. What need he care about
recommendations from the sovereign people,
or letters of endorse ment from influential
peliticians2 Less favored mortals may have
troubled and disturbed dreams, and only
awaken to find that the coveted prize has
eluded their grasp. but he rests in serene and
absolute Consciousness Of ultimate success.
Nor need he incur the expense of a pilgrim
age to the Mecca of politicians, there to trum-
pet his own praise in behalf of his untiring
devotion to the loyal cause. and to corciliate
the member from his own district into an en-
dorsement of his peculiar claims. From all
this vexation of spirit and of purse he is
blissfully exempt.
The first Napoleon did a very extensive
business in this way for his relatives, both
in the direct and collateral line. And he did
it, as he did every thing else, on a most lib
eral and magnificent scale. parcelling ou:
among thom thrones and kingdoms and prin
cipalities made vacant by his sovereign will.
Gen. Grant promises to follow in his foot
steps in a more humble because in more
republican way.
The daughter of a former Governor Of this
State was so elated over her fathers success
that in her simplicity size believed the whole
family were elected to office, and that they

Another Blunder.

During the expiring hours Of President
Johnson's administration he granted par
dons to certain criminals who had been con-
victed in the United States Courts, in New
York and Boston, for offences against the
general government. Whether these par
dons were properly issued or not, we Of
course cannot say, nor is it necessary here to
discuss that question. One of the very frat
official acts of Gen. Grant was to telegraph
TO the United States Marshals in the two
cities named, directing them to return the
pardons TO Washington if they had not al
ready been delivered to the persons in whose
favor they had been Issued. In some in
stances the pardons had been delivered
whilst in few others they had not. and the
prisoners were still kept in confinement.
siderate step by Washburne, the FIVE days
wonder Of the State Department. The act
was applaude1. as usual, by the radical
press evidence that Gen. Grant ''msant
business" Any ordinary lawyer could have
told him that Washburne's hasty and i'll
considered advice was altogether wrong, ano
that he (the President) had exceeded his
power. AS there was likely to be some diff
ficulty about the matter the question was
referred to the Attorney General for his de-
cision. He has decided that the revocation
Of the pardons by Gen. Grant will not stand
the test of law-that the pardon By Presi-
dent johnson was conclusive when ii was
placed in the hands Of the Marshal-that it
was perfectly immaterial whether the par
dOns had been delivered to the persons in
tended to be pardonei or not, and that il the
person having them in custody shonld refuse
to release them. the Court would discharge
them on writ of habaes corpus. If At.or-
ney General Hoar bal been at Washington
at the time, and if his advice had been taken
instead OF Washburne's. the Presidant would
not have committed such paIpable blunder

STREET & SMITH.-If we were asked for
striking example of business success in
this metropolis, we should cite the case of
Messrs. Street & Smith. proprietors of the
popular New York Weekly, known by
their name. Some fften years ago we
knew Frank Street as the faithful business
manager of the late Amor Williamson, pro-
pr;etor of the Dispatch, and Francis Smith
as a writer for the columns of that we'll
known journal. Mr.. Williamson had start
ed the Weekly, and run it for long time at
a heavy expense, but, weary of the many
business cares pressing upon him, eventual
ly relinquished it to his old employees,
Street & Smith. For a long tme these
young men struggled along, spending their
entire income to fill the columns of their pa
per with stories by the most acceptable an
thors, and advertising their business to an
extent Aometimes far beyond their imme1i-
ate resources. Bnt their foresight and en-
terprise paid. To-day the proprietors of the
Weekly are wealthy men. Street, who is a
FL st-rate business manager. owns big slice
OF the thriving village of Greeupoint; while
Smith. who few years ago was a inur.
printer, proved a host in himself, has Just
bought splendid Filth avenue mansion for
bis family residence, besides dipping peeply
into Boulevard lots and similar luxuries.-
The success of these partners ought to be a
lesson to young men generally. They be-
gan at the bottom of the Ladder, worked
hard. spent sparingly for personal matters
but with a prodigal hand to promote busi-
ness. by securing the best talent and the
most extended publicity. ard their reward
is already assured. They are now on the
high road to rank among the millionaires.-
1t will hardly be credited. but these very
men, to whom a decade since hundred
dollars was almost a fortune, are now sal |
to sometimes spend as much as forty thous-
and dollars in advertising the first number
of a new story in the New York Weekly
