Well, this proves that soma things can be done as well as others, and at present to the ruling passion with a great many persons. At the North and in the West large nnm bers of ambitions person*, male and female, are daily taxing tbeir powers, both mental end physical, in walking round a track, cheered on by excited spectators. The task laid down to sometimes beyond the ability of the walker, nevertheless he or sb# strives on with aching joints, even when hopeless fail ure stares them in the face. Sometimes, however, they soceeed, as, for instance : “At l o’clock thia morning Madame Exilda La Chappie successfully completed her task of walking, and in addition to two thousand quarter milts in as many quarter hours, walked three hundred quarter miles in three hondred censecative periods of ten minute* each.’’ That certainly was a wonderful feat, and one not often witnessed. Mtos Jennie St. Ciair, of Bo*ton, however, did not fare so well. She soon caved in—had a fainting fit —became hysterical, and bad to abandon the track. Indeed, she should never have gone on it.

An argument, also, in favor of the Mosaic law, via : a sound application of the birch. Lent. To-day is the first Sunday in the season of Lent, a season which is generally observed throngbout the Christian world by the Episcopal and Catholic Churches. The origin ot the religious custom is claimed to dote back to the first ages of Christianity. Bishop Wheatly says Irenseus, who lived but ninety years after the death of Saint John, and who conversed familiarly with Saint Polycarp as Polycarp had with Saint John, has transmitted incidentally to the Church that th s season was observed in his time and in that of his predecessors. It is claimed that (he Christian Lent look its rise from the Jewish solemn humiliation before the expiation. The name. Lent, is taken from tbe old Saxon word which signifies spring, os the season comes in that portion of the year. The forty days seem to have been fixed principally in accord with the days of fasting of tbe Lord in the New Testament. Tbe first day of this season is called Ash Wednesday, and upon it the early Christians clothed themselves in sackcloth and sprinkled ashes upon their heads a* proof of their hu mility. 1 he season this year embraces forty six days, as Sundays are regarded as fest ivals, and are, consequently, not observed. Friday before Easter specially commemorates tbe crucifixiou of tbe Lord, and is called Good Fiiday. Easter day follows on Eunday, tbe 13tb of April, tbe third day after, and it commemorates the resurrection. The Catholic Chnrch prescribes a diet for the period of Lent, and all good Catholics observe with groat strictness the regulations of tbe chorch. The Episcopalians, however, are not so strict in corporeui regulations, but set tbe season aside as one to be derated to the contemplation of holy things with such abstemiousness and self-denial as will prove that tbe pleasure of life are in a large meas ure laid aside. Tbe church admonishes all to ab tain from all public amusements, en tertainments and sncti things as tend to di vert the mind from holy things.

It would seem that not only is tbe wsr upon tbe Democracy by the disorganize™ in the upper portion of the Stats to be carried on-with increased bitterness, hnf that, so far as they can effect it, our politics is to be degraded to a leval never before reached In the history of parties in Georgia. While the Democrocv, trusting in the intelli ence, patriotism end past bitter experence of our people, may have little to fear from the factious combinations of unprincipled dema gogues and seff-seekers. every good citizen renst deplore the resort to a method of politieal controversy an grossly offensive to good taste and so demoralizing to onr nodal life as that adopted by the so-called Inde pendents—a method which not only enhsti tntes personal abuse far argument, and makes private character tlie silhjeet of ruth less assanlt, but even draes woman from the quiet of the domestic circle into the rode arena of political strife. This tendency of Cherokee Independent torn is mo»t strikingly demonstrated bv the recent scurrilous attack upon Senator Gor don bv Mrs. W. H Felton, wife of the In dependent Representative of the Seventh Congressional District, in a letter to the Augusta Chronicle and Conrtitutionnlitt. Mr. A W. Reese, of the Macon Telegraph, hav ing alluded to the fact that dnring the Con gressional canvass in the Seventh District, a letter was written to Senator Ferry (Repub lican) soliciting material aid from the Radi cal Congressional Campaign Committee for Dr. Felton in his canvass against the Dem ocratic nominee, Mrs. Felton assumes not only that she is alluded to as the writer of the letter, but. to use her own words, that “Senator Gordon is the author of the assault” upon herself, and at once proceeds to heap upon him n tirade of abnse, coupled with the mast defamatory and slanderous charges against his private character, such as no man would venture to utter, and as no one, not ven his bitterest enemies, will for a moment credit. Mrs Felton admits that she wrote a “friendly letter lo Senator Ferry, asking him to use his influence” in her hus band's behalf, but denies that she made any appeal for Radical money to be n«ed in securing her husband’s election. Hbe offers no proof to show that General Gordon had any agency in the exposure of her rsgotia tions with Mr. Fsrry, of the Radical Con gressional Campaign Committee, or that he had misrepresented the purport of her “friendly letter” to that gentleman, but holding him responsible for Mr. Reese’s dis closures. most rudely assaile him. not omit ting, however, to bestow a share of her resentment upon Mr. Reese, the Macon Telegraph and tbe “organized Democracy of Georgia.” Until the appearance a few months since of the famous Mrs. Jenks' letter to Hon. B. H. Hill, the annals of Georgia politics has furnished no such demonstration of "wifely" partizansbip, and. for reasons that will readily snggpst themselves to lire reader, it is to be hoped that these rash examples may find no future imitators in the South. Had the slanders contained in Mrs Felton’s letter been uttered by a responsible party they would have needed no refutation from Senator Gordon, though they might have incurred his resentment. As it is, they will fall harmless against a character too exalied to he reached by the shafts of perlizan malice, while upon the crafty op ponent who inspired them will rest the odium of meanly shirking tbe responsibility wf their Utterance. In tbe course of her letter Mrs, Felton says : “Chivalry seems to be at a diseoant wilh tbe so-called ‘organized’ in Georgia.’’ This charge has been made before by the so-called Independent organs. Thera stems to be very strange views entertained in regard to chivalry by some people. True chivalry respects the proprieties of life. It to as unchivalric for a l»dv to sfep out of her proper »phere and assail one whe cannot resent the injury, as it to for a man to be rode to a lady The chivalry of • husband would shrink from placing bis ia the position of inviting resentment which chiv alry forbade. But we think sotta of our worthy cotemporaries must be heliusoenabte to the lady’s charge in this case. It tna unchivalric in them to give her W-jodged letter the immortality of print. If bee hue band cannot or will not restrain her ambi tion to enter the political arena, tbe pram should.— Savannah Newt. The Arlington Eitate. The Arlington estate, by the latest turn of the legal wheel, has been taken out at possession of the Government and dsdated the rightful property ot the sen sf nary Randolph Lee, who received it Ibom George Washington Custis. to whom It had been willed by Washington. Tbi* important decision has been rendered by the United States District Court ol Virginia, sitting at Alexandria. Thera will be further appeals, but the chanees now seem to b* in kvor of tbe Lee family regaining potbessioa of the estate, or having their relinquishment of It made well worth their while. Waatmtgtuu bv his will bequeathed Arlington to Geaetfe Washington Parke Custis and his heirs for ever. Custis was the adopted son of Geo eral Washington. tie died in aod by his will left tbe property to his daughter and only child. Mary Randolph Lee. who became the wile of Rooert K Lee. After her death he provided that all the property should go to her eldest son, George Washington Custis Lee, and to his heirs forever. Shortly before her death Mrs. Lee and her son emleavored to make a compromise with the Government, and offered to surrender her title and that of ber heirs for the sum of $300,000. Her petition gave rise to an angry debate in tbe Senate, and nothing was done. Mrs. Lee diud in 1673, and her son, who brought suit for ejectment, again offered to compromise He presented a memorial to Congress, which sets forth the principal points iu tbe case. The memorial states how, in September, 1863, three Tax Commissioners (or the insurrectionary district of Virginia fixed the earn of $92 07 as tbe amount ol tax due ami payable to tbe United Status upon the Arlington estate, which was valued opor. the land books of Virginia for the year 1860 at $34,100. For the non-payment of the tax the estate became forfeited to tbe United States, aod Commissioner! advertised it for sale.

Tbe Fort Whipple Reservation, as it is called a portion of the Arlington estates anti in cluded in the suit—was set apart in 1872. It is used for the instruction of the Signal Bervice Corps. It tbe Superior Court should confirm the conclusion now reached in this case, the Government may find it yet advisable to listen to propositions of com promise with Ihe Lee family, although it his twice refused to do so. It would be, on many accounts, very awkward to relinquish a property which has been put to such special uses Custis Lee, who now has bis hands greatly strengthened, may, however, be less inclined to compromise me,isurej than he was ia 1873. —Philadelphia Telegraph. Whbn Beast Butler was n candidate for his present seat in the House, he told the Republicans of his district that there was great need for some one in Congress to fight the “Confederate Brigadiers,” to prevent the payment of "rebel war claims," the liquida tion of the “rebel debt,” the remuneration of the South for the freed slaves, aod the pensioning of “rebel soldiers,” and to kill many other equally objectionab’e or illegal measures. .Such an appeal touched the Republican heart, and Butler was elected. “Now,” says the Bridgeport Farmer. ‘he not only av>ws his readiness \o support ‘rebel war claims’ of certain classes, but actually advocates the pensioning of wounded ‘rebels,’ neither of which measures is asked for by the Houth.
