A daughter of the forest, says the
ReveiILe, with q rabbit-skin robe
wrapped closely around her noble
form, was meditat lively meandering
down Main street, this forenoon, and
stepped on . slippery place on the
sidewalk, and suddenly sat down,
with q bump that shook the planks.
As 0 as she had recovered from the
shock she cast q look OF Indignation at
the spectators and uttered an ejacnia-
tion which indicated that her knowl-
edge Of the English Language had not
been derived from a very rehned
source, and arranging her ruffied dig
nifty and other clothes about her, she
said to the most boisterous OF the
spectators, "you heap dam smart y"
and marched off as though she didn't
care IL the world dropped down q hole
in three minutes by the watch. "A

CONGRESSMAN HEwIrT's scrupulous
sense Of honor in declining to serve on
q committee which would have to con-
slider questions of %pecuniary interest to
himself, calls forth this flattering COM
ment from the Springfield Republican:
"Such delicacy of feeling n a Congress-
man is all the more refreshing for its
novelty. The people haven't been used
TO it. Indeed. they have become so ac-
customed to seeing their representa-
lives mailing up their professional shin
giles on the walls OF the Capitol, setting
up their mills or laying their railroad
track on the floor, and converting the
committee rooms into private counting
rooms or law offices. that they have al
most come to acquiesce in it as q mat
ter of course-the normal and regular
thing. The fastidiousness OF this New
York Congressman, who refuses to be
placed in a position where his private
interest may even seem to clash with
his public duty, will give them a SEN
sstion akin to surprise; but they will
like it, and like him for it; there is no
doubt about that.

Timing a Race.

Mr.. II. Wilson, Of Cynthiana, Ky !,
called on us last Tuesday on his return
from England. At the Newmarket
spring meeting he timed the race for the
Two Thousand Guineas with Mr.. II. Il.
Sanford, 10 pursuance Cf a method
agreed upon between them, which we
regard as the only safe and correct one
on most of the English courses. Timing
by the flag will net do, for, as Mr.. VIII
son says, the starter cares nothing about
time, and often drops bis A g when the
horses are far behind the starting line.
The proper way is to have one watch at
the proper beginning OF the race, to be
started when the horses reach the line;
aud another at the winning-post, to be
started when the leading horse reaches
it. The difference between these watch.
es when compared will be the time Of the
race. The mile and seventeen yards of
the Rowley mile in the two thousand was
run in l:473. The wiseacres who take
their time by the flag and "Benson's
~chronograph' madeit about FIVE seconds
more. The folly and absurdity of the
the notions entertained by the English
reporters in regard to this matter have
long been apparent to everybody out
themselves. They think that the timing
Of the rscs depends upon the instru-
ments used, whereas the chief elements
of correctness are the accuracy and
p%romptitude of those who use them. The
time of the race is so small that any toll
cradle watch for measuring it ia Just as
good as the best marine chronometer
that ever was employed at Greenwich
The time lost or gained by a watch ia
the course of q mile race ia so very small
that it practically amounts to nothing at
all. But, if a man, hopelessly ignorant
Of the true methods Of timing, aud too
conceited to learn them, holds the watch.
the error commonly arounts to a great
deal. We have often seen ten seconds
difference in time reports Of English
races, both protesting and ostentatiously
stated to have been taken by Benson's
