work to do in twenty-four, though 1t seems
to him that 1t is just the reverse. The pres

generous and goed.looking therefore he has
many friends, to whom he must talk, and he
has much to think about the new suit OF
clothes which is to replace the very substan-
tial one he now has. Local events, in all
their variety, have to be discussed, and be-

the mighty conversations Of the late morn.

he is compelled to snatch an hour or 80 to
go out with an elderly, bald.headed friend
perhaps for the air, perhaps for cocktail,
perhaps for seat on the baseball ground,
where he can watch the terrific contest which
closes the arduous season. 1t is thus thai
his time is absorbed by day, and when night
comes there is another melancholy slaughter
Of his leisure-be patronizes the drama.
After this he has TO have some sleep. In q
few years he will marry, and then his trou-

of the comforts Of home that he may get in
his four hours work. Was there ever. 8

AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT-ONE HUNDRED
Ml1ss IN TWELVE HoURs ON A VELoClPRpE.--
From the Highland (Ohio) Ne,oS.]-The
most extraordinary feat Of travelling, With
out the aid Of steam or horsepower, ever
performed in this country lat least Of which
we have any record) was accomplished list
Thursday between this place aud London,
Madison county, by Mir. james Mason, q
young Irish gentleman, who is at present
making bis home at the residence OF Mr.
James D. Heron, u few miles northw OF
town. Mr.. Mason returned few weeks ago
from visit to Europe, and brought With
him an improved bicycle, or two-Wheeled
yelocjpede, of London manufacture, and it
was upon this machine that ne performed
the extraordinary feat above referred to.
Leaving this place OF precisely O'Clock
THURSDAY morning he rode to London an0
returned to point about seven miles north
of IIllsboro', distance of ninety-nine miles,
in exactly eleven hours and forty minutes,
being at the rate of q fraction less than eight
and half miles an hour, including stop
page OF thirty minutes in London and one
of twenty minutes at Washington on bis re-
turn. Besides these stoppages he lost nearly
half an hour between Washington and Lon.
don on the up trip by getting on the wrong
road and being obliged to turn back, aud
fully an hour more by having to travel on O
freshly.gravelled road between Washington
and London, which greatly impeded bis pro.
press and increased the labor Of propelling
the bicycle. Deductng these losses and If
teen mirutes allowed him for unavoidable
detention from other causes, amounting 10
two hours and thirty five minutes lost time,
and Mr.. Mason's actual running time for the
ninety-nine miles was only nine hours ana
five minutes, or nearly eleven miles an hour
We venture to say that the fieetcst horse
could not have performed the same dlsta0ce
in the same time without causing his death
or ipjuring him beyond recovery.
We omitted to mention that in addition TO
the other causes of detention on the trip Mr..
Mason was thrown from his bicycle between
Washington and London, spraining one OF
his legs SO that he is still lame. He remount.
ed, however, and rode on Us if nothing had
happened.
Mr. Mason is not professional, but mere
" an amateur, and performed the feat more
for amusement than anything else. The
distance from here to London is fifCy-three
miles. making the round trip one hundred
and six miles, and this he undertook to run
in twelve hours, on wager Of 800. He
failed to accomplish the undertaking, owing
to the time lost, as stated, but is confident
that be would have accomplished it easily if
he bad not been Unexpectedly detained
The following is the schedule of the tune
mace on bis first trial s.: Lett Hillsboro' at 6
A. NJ, arrived at Leesburg eleven miles, at
Cos A. NJ. arrived at Washington (twenty-
six mies) al S:13 A. NJ; arrived at London
