From the N. Y. Evening Post.l
Oui Bono.

The Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle says:
rs this poor world aware of the
fact that one of it's greatest men is
Charles Rowell, pedestrian? But
what will be the verdict of history?"
The verdict of history, in this, as in
all other affairs, will be that a lion
lives longer than a butterfly. Even
though he is beast of prey, he has
business to attend to, and he attends
to it. The butterfly is merely sport.
The one great question of fact
which decides all the verdicts of his
tory is Qui bono? What is it good
for? Of what use to his fellow men
is man who is good for nothing but
to travel round the country, playing
base ball? One good, stout farmers
boy, at a plough-tail, raising forty
acres of wheat for himself to sell and
other people to eat, is worth dozen
of him. He benefits himself and his
neighbors. The professional gamer
benefits nobody. He is as much a
brass earring. He is a butterfly.
How much benefit is it to the world
to know that man can walk five
miles an hour for twenty hours at a
stretch?
Was one of them ever known to go
on foot from one place of exhibition
to another? No, indeed. He pays
his fare, and lets the railway do his
walking for him. If, instead of 'fol-
lowing pedestrianism," he were settled
down in some busy town, an unam-
bilious carpenter, building houses to
shelter other people from the weather,
he would be filing a space in the
world. He would be making his liv-
ing by helping his fellow men. As it
is, he is butterfly.
| Whenever an uncOmplimentary
| voice is raised in regard to this non
sense, it is met with the argument of
muscular development" Nobody
has any fault to find with muscular
development. But there are other
things to be developed besides muscle
Men have minds and morals. They
may be taught to think as we'll as tt
act They may be taught to be hon
est, and good, and affectionate, as wei
as to throw ball. Nor is there any
thing magnificent in the education O
one set of muscles at the expense O
others. A pedestrian who is all leg
is no better than a club-thrower VIII

near by, he knocked at the door. A
sharp looking old dame answered his
summons. He asked for shelter. II

the door in his face, leaving the good
man to the mercy of the rain and his
own reflections.

And the skies are murky?
