SPORTING MATTERS. PEDESTR!AN'SM, 4 BECOND FAILURE O'Leary’s second effort to walk 100 miles in 82 consecative hours has resulted io & second fail- ure. The walk was commenced 2t 8:10 Friday afternoon, and concluded at 10:40 Iast evening, the pedestrian haviog wallied cne lzp more tban 136 miles. His first attempt was made i opposition to & general belief that be could not perform the feat. His failure then, however, was attributed to cir- cumstances which allitle foresight might have prevented, sod O’Leary was conddent, in their sbsenco, be wonld have succeeded. As it was supposed that the experience then acqaired would be made use of, and that stch causes as it was claimed led to his failure before would be removed, he enftered upon the last walk with & strong belief be would be suc- cossfal., Une of the causes which was gaid to have retarded bim in bis first trial was tho track.

The track proved too severe for thcse who entored, and they were compelled to drop out before bail tho aisiance was comjpleted. Buc O’Leary waa hoisted by his own potard. The bard, unelasiic beards told upon Bis feet terribly, and be was obuged to abandon the walk principsliy on that account. He was very imprudent, too, in the matter of bis food, and unless he can control himself in thia respect he should not undertake such exacting w8, Inetoad of confining himself to the beel-tes prescribed by his physician _yesterday morning he drank a quantity of sle. It brought on sickness from which he aid ot recover, and wlich occasioned him frequent losses of time during the day. Deapite his failure, he did some fine walking, and has by no means lost his claim to the repu- tation ne has achieved. Ho walked his 50 miles 10 9 hours 7 minutes and 13 scconds, and 100 mifos in 20 hours a:d 14 minutes—tme never beaton except by himseif.

Hung Chang, will be sent a8 8 Commigsioner to Yunnan to iovesti- gate the murder of lh.:gnry ‘Thia appointment isin consequence of the disestisfaction of the English Legation with ml:rsnon- nominations af persons of inforior grade. A destructive fire .occurred at Hong Kong on the night of June 2. Aluch foreign property was destroyed, including the premises of Bus- ‘sell & Co. Estimated damage, $35,00 ‘Disturbances in Manchuvia continue. The Goverumont troops are reported to be held in check by the inswrgents. Jage 15, the steamer Caris, Brooko, from Bingapore, owned by rirish subjects, was dis- covered lauding passengers and cargo on the lslaud of Hamnso, being closed to loreigners. The ship wea boarded and sezed by Enghish customs ofticials in the Chinese service, snd ordered to Whampoa for investigation. The Captain of the Caris Drooke promused to follow the Chinese gunbost to that port, but presently endesvored to escapa to Hong Kong. Afier soveral warnings his vessel was fired upon and disabled, and finally captored and taken o Whampos. There weze seversl hundred passen- gers on the Casis Brooke, but none wers injured. the shots having been directed at the rudder only. Thero is much excitement smoog tae English, thongh few deny that the seizure was warssnted, 88 the attempt at Smuggling was obvions, A judicisl investigation at Canton baving recnlied unsatisfactorily, the case was retorred to Peking for judgment. 5 American Coowul at Chin King, while walking with his wife, wos assauited with offen~ uive langusge bys partyof Chice:e soldiors.

A very good catalogue is sold at the door. I leara from it that thuty-eicht rooms ace taken up with the exbibition. The objects exhibited are olassed into seven groups. Group 1 has to do with geographical matbomatica, geodeay, aad topography, and, the insirumeuts pertainiog to them—amougst others a large telescope, which bas baen eet up id the attio story. Groap 2 deals with bydography and maritime geography. The third group i8 poor in retruspective inzerest, unless we regard itas » kind of old-world bis. tory unconscionsly written by floods and volcan- ic fires. 11 embraces physical geography, gener- al meteorology, general geology, botanical and geological geography, and general anthropology- ‘lhere are eome memorials of the fliut age, snd casts Of sknlls foond in tha cav- erma _of the Lot and near Mentone.

I caunot help speak- ing of de Mahe de Is Bourdounats Alftog:lph Map of the East Indian French Colonies. 1t was drawn iu the Bastile, into which the author xas thrown because of Olivo's @ucceeses in India. Prince de Bohan Guemence, the founder of l'Urient, got up a cabal agaiost him at Ver- ealles. He was thrown into the Iron Mask's cell, and deprived of writing materiala.

But pecessity 18 the ‘mother of inveution. 1s Bourdonnai was as ingeoious a8 he was brave.

Thus pre- pared, they gerved o8 paper. _The wmk was made witu grease aud coffee-grounds, and de Ia Bour- donnai drew and wrote with a piece of Wood. No less than twenty manuscript mavs of Portulas, the great Portuguese geographsr of the eud of the fifteenth or tha early part of the sixteenth ceutury, gure in this group. Pasaing on to Group 5, we find_ourselves in s region of statistics, and of social, political, and sgricultural economy. It is asconishing what maps can be made to tell. especially when drawn bty Germans. Those 1mow refer to point out tne increase and decrease of populatian in given periods, the progress of agriculturo; traco the cuurse of cholera, of typboid, and of sma'l-pox, of grape disease and._ cattle-plague ; show whers schools flonrish and where they do not ; Where dronkennass, thieving, and bflglndlgo abound, and where induetry, virtue, and prosperity go bandio hand. The breath of pine woods seems to affect the morals of & country. Maine, the State of the liquor-law, is * the pice-wood State ” of America. The Vosges are the pine-wood region of France. rom Epioal to Rem- iremont, and _ disgonally across the c.untry to Thann, polico are less needed than in any other part of France, though tae population is nomerous. Anabaptists have created terrestrial elysiums for themsalves in clearinga in the pino_forests by the Menss and Mosalle.

Group 6 bas to deal with the teach- ing sod diffusion of geography, sod Group 7 with explorations, scientific and commercial voy- sges, and tours in search of the picturesque. Primte and public instruction in Europe are pretty nearly in the of Germans, Itis not, thorefore, surprising if the vast Empire of the Czars is eo well represented at the geograph- ical exhibitivn, ‘The Marshal to-day wondered if Alexanderre- membered half of the peovle whom his sceptre sways.
