The American walhist Abroad.

FROM me Lo7t1Oa Telegraph, hprch L.
To-day Il Mr.. Edward Payson Weston :
thirty-seventh birthday. To the many Spec
tators who crowded the Agricultural Hail on
the afternoon aud evening OF Saturday last,
IL may have seemed that the faded haggard
and csreworn man upon whom their eyes
were nxed must long have oversteppe1 the
age which, In famous passage OF "Conings-
by, Mr. Disraeli designates as "thst fatal
tnirty-seveH.' Sufficient time has now
elapsed since the end OF last week for Eng
llshmen TO satisfy themselves that the
American pedestrian, whose marvellous
achievements have lately arrested public at
tention, is a star of no ordinary magnitude
Exception was taken by a few writers 10 the
merit OF Weston's performances, on the
ground thst he walked In gloves, and occa-
sionally blew few notes upon the KEY -bugle
IS be tramped upon his weary march. But
the scene presented by the Hail at Islington
on Saturday sufficiently testified 10 the gen
erosity with which Englishmen appreciate
exhibitions OF unusual endurance aud pluck
Surrounded by noblemen, members OF par
lament and spectators from every rank OF
society, the gallant American, although he
failed TO achieve the whole OF his self-im-
posed task, was encouraged by acclamations
which We're thoroughly genuine. IL was unit
versally felt that this country had never
produced such a walker as this slim. 1.-the
and wiry American. He has undertaken
four tasks, two OF which he has successfully
accomplished, while in the other two he has
partially failed. But even his failures are
leafs which no living Englisnman can par
allel.
II no other moral is 10 be deduced from the
performances of Weston, at least IL is GER
tain that he has shown US what an amazing
degree OF fatigue a tine walker is able to
endure. For these reasons il has seemed to
US that the recurrence OF his birthday Is no
inappropriate moment for complimenting
our American visitor upon the marvels OF
pedestrianism with which he has lust famiI-
fariZed us, and for expressing a hope that
he will inspire more than one Euglishman
with the desire OF emulating his enduring
achievements.

WHY A PATERSON MILLIONAIRE DIN
Nor ENDow SEMINARY FoR GIRLS
The late Charles Danforth, ex-president OF
the DaDforth Locomotive Works, in his
Will. dated 9th April, 1867, bequeathed
500 eco TO five trustees to endow female
seminary. but on the Goth OF September, Is70.
he revoked the bequest, and said in the coti-
ell that he did so because the provisions
but the schools were not conducted In an
economical manner, and the state legisla-
ture, through the corruption or incompe-
had granted such extraordinary power TO the
city council that the property holders had
been plundered and oppressed by unjust and
burdensOme taxation. The document closes
with the hope that his heirs may have suffi-
Gent to pay the exactions which may be
levied upon them. Mr.. Danforth left over a
million dollars.-lN N. y Siul Isl.
