Rider.

Saturday evening o novel race took
place at the skating rink on fremont
street, between Deerfoot, "the Indian
runner" and Mr.. G. w. Little6eld, a
velocipede expert The terms of the
race were, that Mr.. Littlefeld should
propel the bicycle. forty-six times round
the arena while Deerfoot Should 60 over
the same course thirty-four and one-half
times in other words, the velocipede
was expected to 90 four miles while the
Indian was running three miles. The
contestants started at the same moment
from opposite sides of the rink, the bicy-
Gle occasionally passing Deerfoot. On
the Indians twenty-ninth round Mr..
Littlefeld overlook him for the sixth
time, when Deerfoot put forth an extra
effort, and for short distance it was
question with some as to the power of the
bicycle to pass him; but in second the
velocipede appeared in front and the
Indian settled back into his accustomed
gait. Mr.. Littlefeld passed the Indian
again on his thirty-third circuit, but
Deerfoot made his last circuit as the
bicycle was on its forty-second, thus
beating Mr.. Littlefeld by four circuits.
The time was very short, being fourteen
minutes and ffty-eight seconds. Boston

fled cross bill claiming that the Legis-
lature had no authority to dispose of the
coin as it had done; and that the act was
in violation of the clause Of the Federal
Constitution, preserving the sacredness
Of contracts; that the returned coin was
properly part of the assets of the bank,
and should be used to pay individual de-
posters.
Chancellor Otis decided that the Leg.
islature had not exceeded its power, and
ordered the enforcement of the law.
Mr.. Cockrill appealed the case to the

The New York Herald takes General
Sherman to task for addressing the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs at Washing
ton as the Hon. Ely s. Parker in an Off
cial communication. "The style Hon
orable," it says, (which in England is
used by courtesy to distinguish the
younger sons of peers below the rank of
Earl "a piece of gallantry, by the way,
which gives woman an unfair advantage,
and needs looking after by the advocates
of sexual equality, was early adopted in
the colonies as way of showing respect
to the higher order of the magistracy and
the judiciary. Custom gives it to Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress, as
well as to Judges on the bench in some
of the States to State Senators, and in all
of them to the State Executive. 1t is ex-
pressly given by law to the Lieutenant
Governor of Massachusetts,. But neither
law nor custom gives it to an Indian Com
missioner; and the head of the American
armies ought to know better than to clap
such patch of court-plaster on the face
of an official document.
