Feats of Pedestrianism.

An English girl, Miss Richards, re-
Gently concluded at Stapleton, near
Bristol, the most astounding feat of
walking 1000 miles in 1000 hours.
The first one of her sex to exhibit so
extraordinary an example of physical
endurance, one cannot surmise, in these
days of female enterprise, how soon her
exploit will be rivaled by some equally
ambitious and strong -limbed woman
Meantime, there stand on the page of
history the records of similar deeds of
pedestrianism accomplished by mascu-
line athletes. The first was put down in
1909, when Capt. Barclay walked l 200
miles in 1000 consecutive hours, win
ming thereby e16,000. The wagers
staked on this match amounted to e100,-
600. The second event of the kind was
noted in 1871, when Thomas Standen,
of Solehurst, near Silver Barracks, ac-
complished stroll of 1,1OO miles in as
many successive hours. Mr.. Standen
was sixty years old at the time he in
dulged in this prolonged constitutional.

Sherman ON the Army.

The Arnly and Nary Journal contains
an article by Gen. Sherman on Z" The
Military Lessons of the War" Although
printed separately, it is really the fna
chapter of a history of the war which
will be published after the authors
death.
Gen. Mcclellan wishes to remodel our
army after that of Germany. Gen.
Sherman, on the contrary, sees some
things to shun in the German system.
Thus he dislikes their large companies
and their mounted Captains. He would
still retain the present standard of 100
men to the company, but would place
twelve companies in each infantry regi-
ment, and so make the numerical
strength of a regiment in the infantry,
artillery, or cavalry the same. Three
such regiments would compose a brig
ade, three brigades a division, and
three divisions a corps. The corps is
the military unit for grand campaigns
and battles. An infantry corps should
have attached to it brigade of cavalry
and six batteries of artillery. It would
then contain an effective force of thirty
thousand men.
After laying down this simple plan of
organization by threes, Gen. Sherman
discusses the great difficulty of the
CIVIL war, WHICH Will, ne Gn1nkS, De JQ6
great difficulty hereafter. It is the
supply of soldiers. He rejects the
bounty system as utterly bad. It would
be much better, he thinks, to pay men
$50 or $50 a month to serve than to pay
them $500 or 81, 900 to consent to serve.
All our expedients failed. The writer
says ~" The German method of recruit
ment is simply perfect, and there is no
reason why we should not follow it sub
stantially." Public opinion will scarcely
indorse this sweeping statement. The
