A WALK AROUND THE WORLD.

LFrom the Wilmington (Del.) Gazette.]
M. Mark Grascn, of Richmond, Va, is
now in this city training for the pro-
digious and hitherto uninterrupted feat
of walking around the world.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Grason, backed
by Leon Mccarthy, entered in to a
wager of $25, 900 with J. p. Wilkinson
and Thomas l.. Murdoch Nhe parties
being ali from Richmond, Va that he
could walk around the world in SIX
hundred days. The distance to be in
cluded in the entire route is IS, 226 miles,
which will make a daily average Of
little over thirty two miles.
Under the terms of the agreement,
wllicl, have been accepted and signed,
Grason is to start from the City Hall,
New York, on Saturday, April 3, 1875,
and to return to the same place Thurs
day, November %, 1876. Part OF his
trip will be on the ocean steamers, DUR
ing which time he will make up his
daily average by walking on ship board.
He viii! be accompanied by Mr.. NC
Carthy and some persons to be sent out
by the other parties to the wager. The
exceptions included in the agreement
are delays accustomed by assault or I'M
avoidable accidents. Mr.. Grason is
twenty-eight years old, five feet seven
inches high, weighs one hundred and
thirty-nine pounds, and has been
known in Richmond in the various
capacities of an actor, author and pedes-
trian.
During the excitement occasioned by
Weston's walks, he started out in the
pedestrian line, and soon accomplished
Il walk of one hundred miles in twenty
four hours.
During the Seymour and Blair cam
paign, in 1868, he. walked from Rich
mond to Omaha, Nebraska, a distance
of about fifteen hundred miles. He
carried the stars and stripes, and made
one hundred and twenty-three Demo
cratic speeches on the way at various
places. IenoW claims to be the cham
pion pedestrian of the world.

SomnamhiilistS have performed many
curious fcatS and have accomplished
dangerous acts mt times without fatal
results, but it remained for Il small boy
travelling from milwaukee, to Minnel-
polls to do, sleeping, what no one ever
did before. The boy was Il son of n
Mrs. Wright, and, in company with
his mother, was on y train going at the
usual rate of twenty miles an hour
After the train had left Il place know
as Weaver Station, the boy fell asleep,
and walking out on the platform step
ped carelessly off. No sooner had he
accomplished this feat than his mother,
noticing his absence from the train, and
remembering also his popularity, sur
missed the cause of his departure, and
through her cntrcatics the train was
backed up. The missing boy was not
discovered, however, and the mothcr.
was left at the station. She had not
long to wait in sorrow. y figure was
seen coming up the track, and its nearer
approach showed the missing boy
The search for him had proved una
vailing, sim ply because, at the time
it was made, he was not visible. AS
he stepped off the train in his sleep he
had been hurled into a snow bank and
had actually only awakened when the
cold called him to his senses. He could
remember nothing ofthe affairsave that
he fell asleep in the car and awokc four
or five feet in drift, and being young,
he did not analyze his sensation upon
awaking, which must have somewhat
queer. The incident is one of the most
remarkable in the. history of somnam-
bulism, and if that boy is not always
thankful that he struck snow-lrift in
stead of a rail fence, he'll be an. irreli-
,gious Individual.

How to Eat an Orange.

ALWAYS, on Southern gentleman's
table, the dessert of oranges is furnished
with small silver fruit knives and spoons.
The orange is held in the napkin-just as
you hold an egg-and with the slender
point of the knife circular incision is
carefully made in the stem-end of the
orange and the stem-core is nicely cut
out, leaving an orifice large enough to
admit an egg-spoon. The orange is held
and eaten then, just as g0ulmGnds eat an
egg, in its 0son shell; and the skill and
grace with which this is dOne-that is,
without soiling the fingers or napkin
are, as in the same process with an egg,
test of good breeding | have known
the most inexpert persons TO master the
few difficulties in the way after two or
three efforts; and their satisfaction was
an infinitely pleasant sight. To hostesses
who like TO have their tables preserve in
some degree, at the close OF an enter
tainment, the beauty which dazzled the
guests upon entering, this method IS
most desirable. Servants--let me put in
plea for those silent ones whose inter
ests are too seldom Tegarded-are spared
the tedious duty of gathering up the
fragments. and guests who look with dis
may at this tempting apple OF the
Hesperides can thus enjoy il as they
never did before. Only the delicious
nectar of the fruit is eaten, with the
more delicate pulp; the tough tiber-of
which, indeed, there is very little in an
orange plucked from the tree under It's
own skies-being left In the shell.-CoT.

An Authenticated Ghost Story.

A GENTLEMAN had occasion to visit
certain city of New England. He ar
rived at night, went directly TO his &C
customed hotel, and TO bed, slept sound
ly through the night, and In the morning
discovered his watch had stopped during
the night. When he opened the door of
his room another gentleman was taking
in his boots on the opposite side of the
corridor; and of him our friend asked If
he could tell him what time it was. To
his surprise, the gentleman took no
notice whatever of the question. lie
asked again: "Sir, will you be good
enough TO tell me what time it is? My
watch has stopped" No answer The
gentleman, without looking up, shut his
door and disappeared. At the moment
two other gentlemen came walking TO-
gether down the corridor; and MIR. y
asked of them the same question. The
two gentlemen, without looking to the
right or left, continued their walk with
out an answer or sign. "Well, " thought
Mr.. X, "this is very curious" However,
he went back into his room. Presently
the bell rang for breakfast; and immedi,
ately waiter entered the room, seized
him by the arm and began series Of
| gesticulations. Mr. X lost his temper,
and burst forth with: "What in thunder
is the matterY" When the waiter cried
'Ohp and vanished, laughing. MIR. X
began to think something was very
wrong, but went. down to breakfast
When he entered the sale mdn0er,
which commonly had dozen or twenty
people at the tables, he found the hall
filled with gentlemen in black coats, all
feeding gravely, and in perfect silence
A waiter silently beckOned him TO I
place; and, when he was seated, he sale
to his neighbor; "Sir, will you be kline
enough to tell me what this is all aboutY'
No answer. The person, like Charlott'
in Werter,n went on eating bread ant
butter" Our friend too began to fee
decidedly what the English call queer
and, getting out of his seat, went TO tn
nearest waiter and piteously besough
him for Heavens sake 10 tell him wha
was the matter with this house. "Ohl

were defeated. He succeeds in proving
to the intelligent people of this country
that the Democratic party is the same
old party whose dangerous fallacics
Webster exposed forty years ago, and
which still pertinaciously clings to the
opinions upon which IL defended slavery,
and which logically justified notification
and secession. While it sends to tht
Capitol from this part of the country
Senators who, like Mr.. Eaton, proclaim
these principles, " sends from Missouri
and Georgia Senators who, like Messrs.
Cockrell and Gordon, maintained them in
the field. Are such men more likely to
administer the Government according to
the principles established by the war
than those who sustained the war and
won the victory?
Mr. Eaton succeeds Gov. Bucking-
ham, who was one of the most devoted
and patriotic of the war Governors.
Does any intelligent American not utter
ly blinded by partisan fury suppose that
it would have been better for Connecti-
cut and the country il Mr.. Eaton had
been Governor instead of Mr.. Bucking-
hamp Why should 1t be imagined that
Tory of the Revolution would have
been safer guardian of the government
founded upon the principles of the
Revolution than Son of LibertyY For
what reason should Mr.. Eaton and
Gems. Gordon and Cockrell, enemies OF
the principles and objects of the war
hostile to the amendments and the settle
ments, asserting that the States are
sovereign and independent" be pre-.
ferred in the control of the Government

States, who hold to the national suprem
