She again.saw Mrs. Hooker, a few days ago, in Washington, when she "advanced toward the front of the platform with a quick step, her head thrown back defiantly, her handsome nose high in the air, her bands gesticu lating, and her voice loud and ringing, yet thrilling with an unmistakable emotional timbre."

Miss Bertha Von Hillern, the German pedestrienne, achieved fame and popularity in Washington by her really surprising feat of walking one hundred miles in twenty-eight hours. Her walk was finished in the presence of a large and distinguished assemblage, and at its conclusion she was crowned with a wreath of flowers amid great enthusiasm. A correspondent says: "Ons remarkable thing which goes to give tho young lady power is that she is a favorite with ladies as well as gentlemen. She is a graceful, well-formed young woman, who has come to show Ameri cans that a woman cau maintaiu,'ber feminine delicacy, and also can walk well and as far as a man. She has proved it, has demonstrated it, and every woman is grateful to her for it. She has also proved that a girl can be a cultivated lady on the sawdust track as well as behind the footlights of the lyric stage that a fine physique is as admirable as a trained larynx, and that graceful carriage is ss beautiful as vocal gymnss tics."
