tohear Mr.. karwiese explain his plan. After that
the discussion became general, in which partici-
pated, and repeated what | have argued for
years past, that the whole question OF improv-
ing the river. the drainage and sewerage, should
be submitted to commission of three eminent
engineers who are known to have become practi-
catiy familiar with the kind of work required
Called attention to the fact that the mortality
of this city has increased greatly, is still in
creasing, and must continue to increase until!
there shall be proper and radical change in
the work; and added, what am prepared to
demonstrate, that the changes On the river and
sewerage now proposed by the District Com

Second. We have those who are engaged il

Weston the Winner.

The dark cloud that has SO long bunp
over the professional career of Edward
Payson Weston, the pedestrian, has At
last rolled away, and once more he
stands under the bright sunlight of pub
lie appreciation. Thirteen years ago.
when he undertook the task of walking
from Portland, Me-, to Chicago, and
accomplished the feat, he was the hero
of the times Since then he has engap.
ed in many pedestrian contests, and
gradually fallen behind the newer can.
didates for public favor in this particu-
lar line of sports, until, finally, his name
was by-word with sporting men, and
he himself the laughing stock of Ameri-
ca. Whether in Chicago, New York,
London, or other great cities where
Weston has entered in walking matches
during the past few years, he has suf-
fered defeat, and when it was made
public that he was to contest, with sew
eral noted pedestrians, the match which
ended in London yesterday, there was a
great deal of amusement manifested
amongst sporting men, and the general
belief as to his chances of success was
manifested in the tremendous odds Of
fered against him, which very few were
courageous enough to accept. But
Weston has redeemed himself, his
record, and the pedestrian Interests of
his country. He has accomplished an
unprecedented task, and to-day stands
on the very pinnacle of pedestrian fame.
Covering distance of $50 miles in six
days, be has beaten the former record
of Brown, the only competitor who held
out against him to the end in the con-
test, and accomplished what no other
pedestrian has, and demonstrated more
fully and forcibly than heretofore the
remarkable "staying" qualities which
he was known to possess. The United
States have won glory enough in the
sporting world for one season. With
the unparalleled performances of Parole
on the turf, and the wonderful achieve
ment of Weston, the Englishmen have
beyond doubt lost enough prestige and
money to satisfy their ambitions in these
directions, and, more than all, con-
WINGED themselves that there is no use
contesting against American bipeds or
quadrupeds.- Chicago Tribune.

Count Beust is said to be the wit
test Ambassador in Europe. He has
that great charm of the humorist, a
grave demeanor-for he was originally
intended for the pulpit-and his con-
version is full of brilliancy.
1t is said that the suite of the Ger
man Empress (who is no friend of Bis
marck) during their recent stay in Eng
land made unpleasant remarks about the
great Chancellor. They described him
as declining in reputation and rapidly
decaying in physique. Corpulence is
rendering his huge form more unwieldy
than ever; puffy and unhealthy is the
look of his flesh; no Kissingen can avail
against that enormous appetite, which
consumes largely of every thing, but
especially of bread, and cheese, and
beer.
