The Race. NOT Always to the s.sift

The Race. Not Always to the Swift.
Weston, the fastest traveller that any six
day walk hns ever developed, and Hazae,
whose remarkable running last spring has
never been equalled in any twenty-four
hour contest, are in a position to-day to
ponder the passage Of Scripture which
heads these lines Both gentlemen seem to
have trusted that their previous records of
speed would in some underlined manner
come to their support this week, SO they
have neglected one or more precautions
that are fully as admirable in their way as
event of a hard struggle. Whatever it may
be that Weston has neglected is not yet
known to the public, but unless he has de-
liberately thrown the race away, or other
wise disposed OF it. he has made
some gigantic blunder which temporary
swiftness cannot obviate. AS for Ha-
zael, the capacity for speed which as
tonished the world few months ago has
not availed against Incidence, carelessness
and erratic habits, and even should he by
a not impossible effort win the race and
the belt he will not stand as high
in the public estimation-that of sport
ing men and the general public
alike--as some Of the men who stand
considerably lower on the list. The race,
in any and every department Of lie, is won
by the man of steady habits and intelligent
application. A race, whether for the belt
the Presidency or any other prize, is
never won by series of spasmodic
spurts; it is gained only by such pa
tient, persistent effort as is suggested by
common sense, and the man who depends
upon brilliant record to see him safely
through is as idiotic as the starving
wretch who attempts to stay the cravings
of his stomach by memories of last years
feasts. Hazael might have held throughout
this pedestrian contest the lead which he
gained SO handsomely on Monday morn
ing : Weston should have done almost
as well but at present both are distanced
by steady, plodding Rowell, who is appar-
emily in worse physical condition than
either, and also by a New England STRIPPING
who has had, practically, no training or ex-
perience whatever. We commend the sub
ject to the consideration, not only of the
self-injured pedestrians alluded to, but to
that OF every man who is competing in life
for any prize whatever.

letter which we published a few days
ago upon the condition and prospects Of the
American colony at Santarem, Brazil, should
be carefully read and pondered over by the
thousands OF adventurous spirits that are
of the impression that the further from
home they 60 the greater the fortune that
awaits them. The colony alluded to- after
purging itself OF the undesirable characters
that are peculiar to all new enterprises,
consisted only of people of industry
and character, while the soil which they
cultivated is famous Tor fertility. And
yet they not only did not become rich,
but they grew poorer yearly; they lived in
poorer houses than their laborers would
have done in this country; they subsisted
upon the plainest food, and suffered ter
ribly from ailments peculiar to the country.
They raised crops, sometimes abundant,
but seldom marketable, and the sum Of the
whole matter is that they heartily wish
themselves back in the United States
Their condition proves nothing uncompli-
nientary to Brazil. the natural products of

shows simply that to go into new
land, in which climate, productions
trade and everything else are different
from what one is accustomed to, and where
the ways of civilization are confined to
limited areas Of territory,i is serious mistake
for any one to make Experiences similar
to those of the American colonists in Bra
zil have befallen most Of the Americans
who have gone alone to Mexico, Central and
South America and other lands particularly
favored by nature. Our own country con-
tains the extremes of climate in which it's

New England States out into the ocean. Dur
ing It's progress eastward very cool weather was
experienced ia all the districts over which the
high pressure passed and this morning frost
occurred in the New England States and North

from the Northwest is steadily moving eastward,
attended by higher temperature. The tcmpcra-

east of the lower lake region; to tic west of it
it was cloudy and threatening. The winds
were moderate along tho Atlantic coast, but
very brisk in the lake regions on account OF the

The Hear at the Altar.
London Standard.

A singular anecdote is related by
Rev. J. Bowden in connection with
he plague in Norway. AT the begin
ming Of the fourteenth century it at.
sacked the district of Valders with
such severity as to entirely depopu-
late the country for miles around.
About 200 years afterward peasant
was one day hunting bear in that
part Of the country. Having dis
charged an arrow at the animal, it
missed its mark, and struck against
something which gave back . ringing
sound. Curious to discover what was
The cause Of the strange circumstances,
the hunter searched and found a
church hidden among the trees. The
arrow had struck against tho bell Of
the clock in the steeple. This was the
ancient church Of Hedal, which had
stood unknown since the visitation Of
the plague, and in the lapse OF time a
large forest had grown up and con-
ceaIed the sacred building from the
eyes Of men. The most singular part
of the story is that the hunter went
into tho church and slew the bear at
the altar, where it had taken refuge.
The bears skin is still preserved in
the yestry Of the church.

the charges to be made against him. Language. he
said almost inadequate to describe the suffering

given by this matter. He denies using town money

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

SAN FRANcIsco. Cal. March 20. 1879.
The Bulletin this evening publishes an interview
with General c. W. Legendre. formerly United States
Consul at Annoy, China. in which he takes the ground
that most of the Chinese emigrants to the United
States come under contracts made with emigration
brokers In evasion Of the regulations of the Chinese
authorities for the suppression Of the Cooe traffic.
and that to check such immig igration. which
comes almost entirely through Hong Kong. il is
necessary simply to contract the operations of the
Chinese migration houses therein. To this he says
the British authorities would undoubtedly be ready
to lend their aid aud he does not think revision Of
the Burlingame Treaty is necessarily involved in
stopping such emigration. He draws strong pic
ture of tine farious practice of the Chinese enigr
ton brokers. whom he copsiders practically little
better than kidnappers.
