French beans, and chicken. At thlrty-hve
minutes past six last evening Mills reached
Sainte-Maure looking rather tired. Bates,
Edge, and Holbein followed an hour later,
appearing quite fresh. At Tours a large
crowd of people assembled on the Avenue
de Grammont to see Mills, who came in
shortly after eight o'clock, signed the regis
ter, took some refreshments ana continued
the Journey. Bates and Edge arrived at
twenty minutes past nine and HOlbeln at
8. 80. Some of the hackers ofthe last-nam-
ed were still confident in his ability to
make up for lost time and to distance
the leader, but their hopes were destined to
disappointment after the victory this morn
inc. which leaves Mills the u%ndoubted
champion of the International bicycle
race from Bordeaux to Paris. Thirty-eight
competitors we're entered for the race and
twenty-nine started. There was one Swiss
among the ablcst opponents OF the English
men. most of the remainder being French.
All the foreigners were literally out of
the running, and the race-as will be easily
seen-was between the EngliShmen, who,
be it noted, had only a slight previous
acquaintance with the course, and bad to
compete with several men to whom it was
familiar. Edge and Bates arrived together
at the Port MaiIlot at two minutes past
eleven o'clock this morning. Like their
predecessors in the race, Mills and Holbein,
they we're enthusiastically received by the
French bicycliSts and others who had
assembled on the borders Of the Bots de
Boulognp in order to meet them.-Doily

Great interest attached To- the interna-
tiOnal Bicycle Race from Bordeaux TO Paris
which began yesterday morning ut ten MN
utes past five o'clock. FreuChmen have
often proved themselves efficient Jockeys OF

ers-Messrs. Mills, HoIbrin, Edge, Bates,
and Twentyman-whO we're ahead OF the
Gauls all the way up f IN B >~rIeaux, a dis
lance of three hundred and seventy odd
miles. Mills rode into Paris by the Boule-
ward MaillOt, exactly at thirty 81 minutes
and twenty-five seconds after seven o'clock
this morning. The radiant champion was
all covered with dust alter his exceptional
" long Journey, but showed comparatively
few signs of fatigue. He received u lively
welcome from the members of the Vel0cipe-
die Union of France, who went ont to meet
the bicycliSts. Mills has performed his work
and won the race in Ooh. 36min. 2)Sec.

French measurement, $50 kilometres Half
an-hOur after the triumphant entry of Mills.
Hulbein was signalled at Versailles, and
arrived on the Boulevard Maillot at 52min.
15Ste. after eight O'Clock. Tue course Sc
lected from Bordeaux was the route rationale

gOu 0l00, hOIec, 1OlllcFS, CllaleiIeFdulI,
Sainte- Maure, Tours, Chateau, Renault,
Vend6me, Uhateaudun, Chartres, Rambou-
illet. and Versailles. The start was effect
ed in tOlerably favourable weather, but the
riders had an ugly hillside to face, which
had been rendered viscOus and slippery by
the rain overnight. This was also the case
along the more level parts of the road.
All the E~nglishmen were in grey except
HOlbein. who dressed in black, and their
low backward placed seats were noticed by
the French as calculated to give them more
power of pro pulsion over their machines.
The first to arrive at LibOurne, twenty
nine Kilometres from Bordeaux, were HOl-
bein, Edge, Bates, Twentyman, Mills, Ziel,
Laval, and Coulibeuf, who covered the dis
tanee in one hour and ten minutes. All
the Frenchmen were left behind between
Barbezieux and Angouleme, where Mills,
Holbein, Twentyman, Edge, and Bates ar
rived at thirty one minutes past ten o'clock.
At Rutfec Mills had forty minutes advance
on Holbein, aud arrived ct Poitiers at fifty
minutes past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Here he had a short hal;; plunged his head
and face into. a basin of cold water;

QUAY INDORSED BY QUAY.
The Pennsylvania Statesman Poses as =
Saint and Martyr.

The Penn sylvunIa Statesman Poses as =
Saint and Martyr.
The defense made by Senator Quay
is more dignited in its tone than might
have been expected. but in its subject
matter it is so vague that it can hardly
be called defense at all Confronted
by specific charges of malfeasance in
treasury, Mr.. Quay has changed the
and has entered a general denial that
he ever did anything wrong in his pO-
litical life His statement might have
been appropriately called Matthew
Stanley Quay's assertion of his good
opinion of himself from the earliest
times TO the present day.
The only incident in connection with
which he did not claim immaculate and
snowy purity of soul was his aSsocia-
ton with Dudley in the blocks of five
business. and that omission was no
doubt an oversight. When Mr., Quay
breaks silence, it is only TO tell the
country that he can see no reason for
not considering himself a saint and
martyr. This may seem sufficient from
his standpoint, but from any other il is
almost ludicroUs to call it "a defense. -
1t does not even amount to an apology,
and is gratifying only as a sort of an
acknowledgment of public jurisdiction
over public indictments for breaches of
public trust.
But even in this view of it, il is al
together likely that his case would
have been better had he taken for him
self the advice he gave Beaver and kept
TO the end the silence he only broke to
give himself his own Endorsement

The demand of republican organs
for Mr.. Cleveland's silver views, which
We're pretty well known, indicates a

remarkable proposition that public

Illicit Distilleries in the North.

The New York letter of the Philadel-
phia Ledger of March Z, says;
The mountains of the South are not the
only places where Lincolnshire" whiskey is
made. Revenue officers to-day raided a
large illicit distillery in Brooklyn and cap
tured two copper stills. one iron still, two
worms, 200 gallons of whisky, 2500 gal
Ions of mash, 400 casks and barrels and
other products of the unlawful establish
ment, but no men. The law breakers all
escaped, and the officers when they raided
the place found only the work and none of
the workers. The distillery is a large one,
four stories high, and running through the
block, and it had been in operation over a
year before the government got wind of it.
For two months officers have been on the
watch, and night after night they saw pack
ages and barrels carried away from the
place while they were gathering evidence
to justify raiding it. They say that for
% years nothing like this in the way of an
illicit distillery has been seen, and it is
certainly most remarkable that such great
''moonshinc" establishment could be in
operation for Is months in city like
Brooklyn without discovery.

MANS MORTALITY.

DIR. Donovan. from an Old Irish Manuscript
Like damask rose you see.
or like blossom on tree,
or like the dainty flower in May,
Or like the morning to the day,
OR like the sun. or like the shade:
or like the gourd. which Jonah made:
Even such is man. whose thread is spun
Drawn out and out, and so is done.
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth'
The flower fades, the morning hasteth,
The sun sets, the shadow flies,
The gourd consumes, the mamie dies
Like the grass that's newly sprung
or like the tale that's new begun.
Or like the bird that's here today.
Or like the pearled dew in May,
Or like an hour, or like span,
Or like the singing of the swan:
Even such is man, who lives by breath.
Is here, now there in life and death.
The grass withers, the tale is ended.
The bird is flown, the dew's assembled.
The hour is short, the span not long,
The swans near death, mans life is done
Like TO the bubble in the brook.
Or in glass much like look,
orlike the shuttle in weaver's hand.
Or like the writing on the sand,
Or like a thought, or like dream,
Or like the gliding Of the stream.
Even such is man. who lives by breath.
Is here, now there, in life and death,
The bubbles out, the look forgot.
The shuttles flung, the writings blot,
The thought is past, the dream is gone,
The waters glide, mans life is done
Like an arrow from bow,
or like a swift course Of water flow,
Or like the time 'twixt food and ebb,
Or like the spiders tender web,
Or like a race, or like goal,
Or like the dealing of dole;
Even such is man. whose brittle state
Is always subject unto fate.
The arrow shot. the flood soon spent,
The time no time, the web soon rent,
The race soon run, the goal soon won,
The dole soon dealt, mans life soon done
Like the lightning from the sky,
Or like post that quick doth HE,
Or like quayer in Il song,
Or like journey three days long
Or like snow when summers come.
Or like pear, or like plum;
Even such is man, who heaps up SORROW,
Lives but this day, and dies tomorrow.
The lighming's past, the post must go,
The song is short, the journey so,
The pear doth rot, the plum doth fall.
The snow dissolves, and so must all.
