THE WALKING MATCH announced for
yesterday did not take place: and we
might as well say here that we regret
having made the announcement, mas
much as it is represented to US as having
been q source Of annoyance to at least
one of the parties. And while on this
subject, it is pertinent to allude to GER
tain matters OF record as to the time that
has been made by professional walkers.
Some one made the statement ut the
Carson Course on Wednesday, that Wes
ton had walked six miles in one hour,
but this was denounced by the incredu-
Ions as mporsible-impossible for any
body to walk that rapidly. But the rec
ord is the thing: and eve are quoting
from oral Information now and from
memory, somewhat the record shows
that Topley. the famous English pedes-
.rian walked eight miles within an hour,
also Westall I'VE believe Lis name is an
American, accomplished the same feat.
The feat performed by George Dawson,
alluded TO in last evenings Tribune, that
of walking q miles inside of three hours,
is also credited to Topley and others:
The stride taken by these professional
walkers is merely technical walking
really it is sort of lope or, perhaps bet
ter described as series Of leaps or rapid
straddles. Some wonderful feats have
been done by foot racers. John Glider
sleeve, whom everybody in this part OF
the world knows well, has run twenty
miles inside Of two hours, several times.
We have heard him declare. frequently.
that he could run thirty miles inside of
three hours. jackson, ''the American
Deer" as he called himself-tho' he was
a Britisher-once made eleven miles in
side of an hour. We saw him win a
ten-mile foot-race, over the Queen City
Course in Kentucky Gust below Coving-
ton, in the Spring of 1850, against
number of Indians, Swapping tall fell

the second or third mile. and gave out;
but Coffee ran through, and came III
from his tenth mile, inside the 60 min
utes-but good many yards behind
Jackson-who was as fresh as q lark.
and turned a summersault Just after
passing the score at the end of The race.
We have taken some steps to place our
self in possession of an authentic record
of pedestrianism, both walking and
running. and when it comes to hand
will haul it on the doubters.

To STRASGEE.-We shall be glad TO
hear often from our fair friend. She
hath an insight into what the critics
call the right reason of things. That is
to say, she saws what she has TO say,
briefly. and has done with it. George
Francis Train is half right when he de-
clares that ''Episram is the thing, and
swears that anything more than four
lines long shall be dumped into the
waste basket. This last is rather too
much Of a gag-law; but the paraphrase
of the old axiom that ''breylty's the
soul of wit is well meant. AS to the
woman question We gave it up, long
ago-gave it up just as one gives up an
insolvable conundrhm or an overload of
mining stock whose carrying demands
more mud" But we must confess
that the arguments in favor Of the abso-
lutte right of woman to vote-lf she
wants to-cornered us and made US ad-
NIT the force of their reasoning. But
we are more than willing to leave these
matters to the ladies themselves; and
whilst we don't believe we'd admit a
communication into these columns writ
ten by masculine hand, abusive of the
gentler sex, we are very much inclined
to invite temperate shower OF brief
contributions from such ladies as, like
our Stranger" friend, take their little
dash at the subject which comes nearest
their hearts and dispose of it after a
concise and graceful fashion. But pro-
lixity in female is simply intolerable.
We believe that we could even stand o
moderate avalanche of letters discussing
the fashions of dress and hair and other
feminine adornments and kindred mat
tiers and things related to social life.

ONE DOC COMMUNICATES GOOD
 NEWS TO ANOTHER.

In the Fall o1 1861, my son, Sydney G., entercti the Federal Army. leaving behind two tavorite dogs, both of whom greatly lamented his absence He was soon captured by the enemy and held prisoner until the spring Of 1869, when he was ex. changed; anu, on returning to his com. mand, came past the old homestead in the country, in Bollinger County, Mo. Both the dogs happened to be about 300 yards from the house, barking up tree at squirrel. After some time, however, the smaller one became tired and came to the house, the larger one remaining at the tree. The little fellow came bounding in the room where his young master, who had been SO long absent, was sitting, and recognized him, and, of course, had quite taking-on ove1 him. The pleasure of once meeting his kind master was too great to be enjoyed all alone, so he quickly turned his course in the direction of his companion in the woods, and in all speed made his way to the tree, and communicated to the large dog the fact of his young masters arrival nome; when, ln an instant, both the dogs were making for the house with all their might, the larger one, who had remained his speed until he bounded in the room where Sidney was. The strange part of this story consists in the fact that the small dog not only communicated to the large one the fact that Sidney had come home, but in some way told him the identical room ip which he would find him, as he ran around the house and in at the very door where Sidney was sitting, without ever halting oI even turning his head toward several other doors which he had to pass in making the circuit.-& Louis Globe.
