HART AHEAD.

The first interesting event yesterday at the six
days race now in progress at the Madison Square
Garden was the withdrawal of P. j. Panchot. who
led the feld at midnight of tho first day. During
the early part of tho day after another dropped
out OF the ranks. until in the evening there were
only forty-eight out Of the sixtyfve starters who
were still on the track. In the evening there
fewer in attendance than Monday night though
there must have been at least two thousand persons
in the house at nine o'clock. The band played
"Pinafore" and other music. and the men pegged
wearily along on their journey. occasionally breaking
into . trot. but for the most part walking. They
had little applause to cheer them. and the enthu-
siasm. IL there was any, was confined to the pool
tables and the box Office. Yet the performance OF
the pedestrians of itself was creditable. The best
score previously made in this country for forty
eight hours is said to have been 215 miles, which
was made by Rowell yet Hart made 200 miles in the
first forty y-four hours OF this walk. and Faber
pressed him close with the same number Of miles
IN forty-fve hours. Rowell's walk having been
made on short track the comparison is really
closer than the records stand. At ten o'clock last
evening the scores OF the loading men fol-

Hard on Bachelors.

From fair and gallant France
comes a judgement against them
which is fearfr,lly emphatic, and
which weighs down upon them
where pressure is hardest to bear.
The general council of the Depart
ment of the Rhone has levied a spe
cial tax upon its unmarried employ
ees. One clause of the resolution
says that bachelors fill all States
with corrupt opinions and evil NOR
ais. E,tn follows the crushing reso
luton tnat provides for the deduc,
tion of rs per cent from the salary
or pension of every bachelor en-
ployee in the service of the Depart
ment of the Rhone. This money
will be dedicated to the support OF
INDECENT children. Why could not
such law work as well here, where
the cross-grained old crab apples are
on the increase, leaving so many OF
our fair and lovely women to 60
through life alone, who would other
wise make such good wives? This
state of things is wrong, and ought
to be changed. If men want to live
bachelor lives, they ought to be made
to pay for the privilege, and the pro-
ceeds devoted to the care of widows
and orphr,, children. What would
our old bachelor friends say to such

The Ferry.

The Ferry.
Messrs. Latham, Goodale and
Singleton, the committee appointed
by the citizens ferry association 20
examine and ascertain the best place
for the location of a ferry over
Wateree river, made their explora-
ton on Tuesday LAST. They examin-
ed several routes, and find that the
one by the InGian Mound is the
best one, as by going that way the
river can be crossed at any time. no
matter how high the water is; but
the cost of this route, even though
the right of way is given them,
would beat least $4,000. 1t would
require near four miles of fencing,
and about one third of a mile of
trestling. They agree, though, that
for the present the old ferry, just
below the bridge, il the most practi-
cable, as it can be made ready for
use with comparatively small out
lay-the road as far as the bridge
being already in good condition.
We will give the decision of the as
sociation in our next.
