A RACE BETWEEN A CARRIER PIGEON
AND A LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.

Dover is seventy miles from London,
las the crow flies," and seventy-six and Q
half miles by railroad, and few days ago
there was an exciting race between the
two cities. The French police wished to
forward to London very important doc
ument as quickly as possible, and the
question was whether a carrier pigeon or
the "Continenal Mail Express" could take
it the sooner. :
1t was determined to try in q compete
tive manner both means of conveyance
The railroad company selected its strong
est and fastest engine and the French po-
lice hired the services of Belgian voy-
ageur." which is of the best breed of hon.
ing pigeons. At the moment that the
train started the little messenger. with the
document fastened TO him, was tossed out
of :. window OF car. Flying about half
a mile high, for minute or two he circlet
about as if in search of bearings, and took
Il straight course for London. His appar-
ent hesitation led the the railroad officers
to feel confident In their own success.
They made their iron horse stretch every
nerve, and they scored . mile for every
minute. But In the hazy, sunny atnos-
phere, and borne along by the west wind,
the bird beat the train by twenty minutes
a time allowance representing eighteen
miles. He accomplished in fifty-six min
utes what the engine was seventy-six min
utes in accomplishing.

GEORGE ODGER, the English workingman
and Radical who died lately, deserves kind
ly mention by Americans. Professor Faw-
cett said at his funeral that one eminent SER
vice which Mr.. Odger had rendered to his
countrymen ought never to be forgotten. At
one time it had seemed likely that England
was about to commit crime which would
have branded her with indelible disgrace. It
had seemed some fourteen years ago that this
country with its traditional love of freedom,
was about to throw in its lot with the slave
owners of the Southern States, and to refuse
its sympathy to those struggling for freedom
in the North. 1t was in that hour of crisis he
had first known George Odger, who then had
done noble work; for no one had more in
fuenced the decision of working men who
to their immortal honor, when other people
with greater advantages went wrong, kept
true to the traditions of Englshmen, and
never wavered for moment in their allegi-
ance to the cause of the North. He remem-
bered going some fourteen years ago with
John Stuart Mill to meeting at st. James's
aaii, caueu NY Iue traue uulonlSts Vi LonuOn
to sympathize with the cause of the North.
Mr.. Mill said that it was such eloquence as
he had never heard, and never expected to
hear again, but he went on to make this sig
nifcant remark Of one whose early education
had been neglected: "I never knew that the
cause of the North could be put so forcibly
till I heard the speech of that workingman,"
meaning George Odger.

A WEEK or two ago the last of the houses
inhabited by John Milton was levelled to the
ground. The house, which was situated in
Petty France (now Queen Anne's gate;, West
minister, originally overlooked the Green
Park. Archer, in his ''Vestiges of London"
says that ''in it the greatest of poets passed
the happiest and the saddest years. .of his life.
When compelled by ill-health in 1862 20 re-
sign the situation OF Latin Secretary to the
Privy Council, he removed from Scotland
Yard to Petty France, where, in communion
with the first scholars of the age, he lived for
eight years, surrounded by all the moral
worth OF his time. HeIe his first wife died in
giving birth to her fourth child, and Milton,
shortly after her death marrying again, here
also lost, from similar cause his second wife
in twelve months after marriage. Lastly, it
was in this house that he became totally
blind" In demolishing the house the stone
tablet erected to his memory and affixed to
the wall by Jeremy Beptham, who afterward
occupied the next premises, has been care
fully preserved. 1t is about two feet square,
and bears the following inscription:
''Sacred to Milton,
Prince of poets,''
1t is said that when Bentham took visitors to
view the house he compelled them to kneel
before the slab.

SHOULD war unfortunately break out IN
the East, Russia will not labor uEder forme +
difficulties and disadvantages in the concen-
tration of her troops. Travelling in that
country is no longer what it once was. At
the outbreak of the Crimean War there were
only about $50 miles of railway in the whole
Empire, and troops and stores were conveyed
hundreds of miles by the most primitive mode
of transport. Now Russia has no less than
11,00O miles OF railway and every year new
lines are constructed. American enterprise
and skill have played prominent part in
bringing about so desirable result.

BISMARCK is pursuing thorough policy in
regard to Alsace and Lorraine, the only
policy, perhaps, by which the inhabitants Of
these hostile provinces can be made German
citizens. He insists tina. the German Ian
guage only shall be taught in schools, and
used in public proceedings, and has issued a
decree banishing all those who will not as
sumo German citizenship. If this policy is
carried out to its legitimate conclusion the
two provinces will, in course of time, become
Germanized and perhaps in future genera
tions resist incorporation by France as stub
bornly as they now do that of Germany.

The Oxford Arms, one of the Oldest inns
in London, was sold by auction on March IL.
1t was built before the great fire, and conse-
quently has been standing over two hundred
years. During the Gordon riots OF 1880.
when Newgate Prison was set on fire and 800
prisoners were released, number of Roman
Catholics, who had taken refuge in the Ok
ford Arms, made their escape through one o.
the back doorways while the mob was shouting
mo popery." Mr.. Dickens does not refer
to it by name in 'Barnaby Rudge," but it
may have suggested the outlines of the May
pole and the Red Lion. 1t has been dreary
old ruin for many a year.
