THE LOLA-HARDING WALK.

A novelty was presented at the Hippodrome
yesterday IN the shape OF walking match sucu as
has never before occurred in this country, the
match being that OF a man against woman. The
contestants were W. Z. Harding and Mile. Lola.
The understanding that Harding was to
complete his nty miles within tie and hall hours,
while Mile. Lola mad 10 make thirty miles in the
same time. Both, however, ala not start together.
The match therefore became u walk against time
rather than any thing else.
Harding scored mis- iorteth mile by sh. 43m. Sis.
and bis ntieth by Ion. 55m. 57s. 10n. 49m.
51s since toe start, which, deducting the deten.
tons he Was compelled 10 suffer through the pro.
cesson crossing MS track gives his actual wa X.
Ing at Ion. O+m. O9s. Lola made her thirty miles
by Ion. 3Tm WHICH deIuctlng her compulsory
stoppage Tor the same reason gives her actual
walking time Tor the thirty miles at 6h 22n. 2Ss.

We do not hold ourselves responsible
for the truth of the following assertion.
though we copy it for the Senifit of the
sex" ''Gradualy, but all too gradu-
ally, are women learning 10 see the.
dress question in all its varied aspects.
Surely If slowly they are recognizing
the fact that when once they ontgrow
it, it will forever be their slave. The
class of people who have ruled the
world through this weakness OF the sex
are terrified at the insubordinatiOn OF
the few of the sex who have already
shown signs IF unmistakable rebellion
And concessions enough have been
made to them to convince them that
enligtenel womanhood will one day
overthrow the tyrant fashion, and sub
stitute in its stead whatever is availa-
BILE. suitable and proper. The time will
have arrived when mistress and maid
no longer vie with each other in over
loading their heads with excess of mil
linery; when dresses will cease TO be
the mOps for unclean sidewalks; when
lightnesS and IoOSeness shall be the rule
for every garment worn, and when
health and hygiene shall go hand in
hand with style and fashion, and be the
arbiters, and not the slaves, of its ia
price and whims."

ssThe One Thing Needed. ;,

The proposition that Gen. Grant
should resign the Presidential office and
go to Europe is so universally approved
in all parts of the country that there is
not the least doubt OF its being the most
popular act MIR. Grant could do. There
is perhaps, no greater pleasure to the
journalist than to find himself advocat-
ing measure which is at the same time
right and popular, and this as the salts
faction of feeling that we are doing "A
great service, both 10 his Excellency
and to his beloved country, is our excuse
for again recurring to this matters. In
deed, the prospect of Mr.. Grants reSig-
nation is so pleasing to us, it is plainly
so entirely the one thing needed, not
only to give him resi- and leisure for
the improvement of his mind and the
long coveted opportunity of travel, but
also to give the country peace and pros
perity, to calm all fears, to set the
wheels of industry going again, restore
civil government, and to settle finally
the veXatiOus and otherwise intermina-
BILE third term controversy, that as pa
triOtic citizens we shall never tire of
considering in all its aspects until His
EXcellency has actually resigned and
gone to Europe.

IL He came in and left the door op a
behind him and said:
@Mr- Smith told me TO ak yer IL he
had any CITIZEN papers here and TO
! fetchum to him.
We got up and lodged furious blast
Of frozen air that whizzed in at the open
door and got Mr.. Smiths paper and
gave It TO the greene, and thought he
would go ont and shut the door. But,
no sir He stood there with his mouth
open and the slobbers from his underlip
I freezing into icicles and looked at the
presses and type and compOsitOrs. And
we shivered and reiterated behind the
stove, and called him a blasted fool and
asked why the devil he didn't have sense
enough To shut the door after him, but
we said them for our own satisfaction
and so low that he did not hear us. And
he shifted over on the other leg and coll
| tinued to slObber and gaze and didn't
shut the door worse than ever. And
we punched the stove and called him an
old hunch-back tadpOle, a finger-tailed
lubberlIead, an enigmatical idiot, an in
fernal emetic, a soFe-backed barrel OF
soap grease, Il iimber-legged son OF a
snuff bottle full of castor oil, and he
didn't hear us still. And after the ink
on the rollers, the oil on the presses and
the competitors fingers had frozen up,
and the stove had gone down to zero,
and we had doubled up TO die, the tar
nation incarnation of unmitigated SUIT
LOYengOodism turned around and saun-
tered out and left the door open after
him as he went out. We stood his SEEM
ing forgetfulness when he came I'm with
out a murmur, as above mentioned, and
as VIC were preparing TO emigrate from
this world Of freezeout sorrow and had
folded ourself up TO breathe our life out
gently, we had made up our mind to
forgive the brute, bat when lac went out
and still left the door open our forgiving
spirit went scOOting up the stoYe-pipe,
and like Hamlet in the Red Riding Hood
ghost story, we determined 10 have re-
yenge. We hurriedly built up a fire
and heated the poker seven times as hot
as the pocket-knife of Mr.. 9. NJ. Abed-
negO got while that gentleman was in
the fiery furnace rescuing the lions from
Daniels grasp, and we sit up day and
night waiting for that fiend to call
again. We don't know exactly how lie
looked and may mistake the man, if
there is another one in Giles county ca
pable OF being such a phOOl, and the
next one that comes into this office and
leaves the door open we are going to
run him through and through with this
poker until we mince him so we can get
him in the stove, and then we are going
to ram him i'm and burn him a month
until the smoke of his last ashes shall
have assembled beyond the realms DER
which vision reigns, and then we'll take
his vile carcass and hang it up By the
neck out our back window and make
him tell all passers by the story of his
direful death.
