Madam Anderson the English lady pedestrian, who began at 8 p. m. Dec. 16, in Brooklyn, a walk of 2,700 quar ter miles in 2, 700 consecutive quarter hours, day and night, successfully end ed her journey at 10 p. m on Jan. 13th, after being on her feet a month, lack ing two days. The last quarter of a mile was the fastest, being Walked in 2 minutes, and 27 seconds. iTheLiel lowing may interest some whoidonbt that a woman can walk 670 miles with out stopping more than ten minutes at any one time. Meanwhile more ladies were con stantly arriving, and now not only the front row -of seats all aronnd the track, but a second and a third, and, before v.a offpmnnn was over a fourth and a fifth were packed closely with fair la- Aia hanrtfiomelv claa. origin, wiu air and the people shouted themselves hoarse. In the meantime Mme. : Anderson was escorted to a seat in the centre of the stage. Corporal Tanner! then said: "I say now to Mme. Anderson that she has taught the women of Brooklyn what women are capable of doing, and they In return have shown Mme. Anderson how they can appreciate the gallant work that one of their own sex has just accomplished. I am not surprised at the statement that she often slept on the track, as nearly all old soldiers know what they have done while sleep ing. I am happy to' say that the Brooklyn people by their patronage enabled Mme. Anderson to bank $8,000 last Friday , night, ' and I really think that in this case the-laborer is worthy of his hire. I believe the saying may be adapted to either sex. In conclusion . - -stmrklinff and all profoundly interest- I trust that Mme. Anderson's visit may 3in the laborious work Of : the game have been of more than passing benefit litiio momher nt their sex. Little .la ' vors were handed to her ; some comical all tasteful and neat. Whenever any she eved them with suspicion, and justly, tor one day last week she had handed her by some un Vnown person an exquisite nosegay, which she thought, had a strong fra: grance about it, and which on closerj I inspection, was found to contain. chlo4 roform. ' Late in the afternoon Drs. Watts, Griffith and Stuart had a consultation about her condition. Dr. Stuart said her pulse was beating at sixty-nine, actually three pulsations less to the minute than that of persons in ordina--r hooith The Doctor added, "Her physical condition is such that if her mind holds out, there is no telling how long she could keep this up." At seven o'clock the garden began to fill. Mme. Andereon trudged mer rily along, and the little scattering claps and cheers of an hour ago now rolled out into a good square cheer. She sticks right to her work. Every lap she goes she is cheered to the echo, and, as she hears the joyful sound aud sees all intent upon her, her face grows radiant with delight, ana iorgeiung all about being tired, she spins around lap after lap till actually she is going sometimes as fast as live miles an hour, t,H 100 to 50 are bet that she does the last quarter. Standing room only gives no idea of the crowd that was packed into the Garden, and although the price of ad mission had been raised to $1, ladies and gentlemen cheerfully paid the extra tax and patiently endured the ...tiir.rr nf thp p.rowd rather than miss the opportunity of getting one glimpse of the woman who had earned for her self, the reputation of the greatest fe male iedestrian that the world has ever 1 i r 4-lrt produced. Looting oacK. irum stage, there was nothing too be Kn tia vast, sea of heads, with a the se en nar- passed ings. At 1:55 -10 a. m., .the House to-morrow. adjourned nutil row lane left on the outside, in which the pluckv woman, clad in a purple velvet walking suit, was making ra- that to the ladies of Brookly and teach them to make more use of their limbs and taki daily - perambulations that may benefit their health." Mme.-Andereon then roe to her feef and said: "I thought, as an actress. I Could make a -speech, but this -soldier ha taught me a lesson. VVejWpmen were seni into this world as helpmates to ,inen.T They are the stronger iu muscular strength..,, bat wheit'oomes io3 VfuestloW of, wtukl endurance, I believe that women We the scro iger. The man can brave danger at the cannon's mouth, but in patience, suffering and endurance, the woman will show the boldest front. Ever since my girlhood, I have wanted to make a name. Aa girl of eighteen or twenty years I had a really beautr ful coutra to vo.ee, Dut mat uiu not make me a name. I then" tried the stage, and although I held an honora ble and responsible position, I was not chronicled on the banners of fame. , My next effort as a clown in a circus was also a success in its way ; but still the long looked for reputation was net reached. I then' became a man ageress, and got some reputation for losing monf-y, and, finally, on the 12th of September, 1877, I commenced my present business. I took the advice of Gale, the famous long distance pe destrian, and when he told me, Go abroad, they will rive you a name,' I came here, and now I will go back with the name for which I nve struggled since my girlhood. I sin cerely trust that He who has given me strength to make it. will give' me strength to keep it The leeaou that . . C l)rt-wlr lT- I have to givetne women oi is that they must learn to dotheir part in life.

Correspondence of the News. It is impossible to do justice to the memory of a great man. Tlrcnstrength of a great intellect may be imperfectly portiayed by the pen of a master, but a pjrfect real zation of its immensity is had only in the presence ot the living owner. Col. Carter was an extraordi nary man in every way; in most re spects ha was head and shoulders above anv man in North Carolina. In reach aud breadth of mind he was without a peer. It was an impossibility for him to discuss any subject without getting at the bo'.tom of it. His simple state ment of a proposition exhausted it. He waa essentially one who opposed and exposed sham in all its forms. As a jury lawyer he was irresistable. His viewa upon every subject were broad, comphehensive, conservative. He was a statesman; not a partizan. Had he lived in the great Northwest he would have out ranked Chase or David Davis, although the people of North Carolina may never know what a wod derful man David M. Carter was, yet the splendor of his genius will be re membered by those who knew him as long as memory lasts. In mind, body and heart he was truly magnificent. His mental and moral integrity were complete. Popular passion and clamor passed him by without disturbing one single element of hia mental,, moral or physical machinery. He was a ripe scholar, a thinker of rare deliberation and coolness, ana his matured opinions were expressed with matchless intrepiaicy. been my great good fortune to be associated with him in the direction of a great work of internal improvement as trustee of the University, and in the trial of a law suit of the utmost mag nitude and in all these difficult and varied employments he displayed, ad dress, nerve and brain force second to that possessed by no man in this coun try. He could analyize a subject and extract its kernel with a power and precision equal to the most perfect sur gical operation. His fund of humor was iuexhaustable. His kindness of heart was most admirable. There is no station of government to which he mint not wun prupucKj - had it pleased God to spare his life. I have written these lines, because 1 caanot let him pss away, and be silent. I recall him with gratitude, the inesti mable privileges his friendship afford ed me, and remember with unspeaka ble pleasure of the many social charms with which he invested our frequent in tercourse.

The spectators were noisy, but good natured, and would amuse themselves by applauding all the pub lic men that passed up the track in the vain hope of obtaining a seat on the Mme. Anderson was wmc w through the evening and received a number of prominent visitors in her room every time she left the track. A number of handsome presents w re made her including a handsome toilet mirror set in silver, a point lace pock et handkerchief, a silver, pocket hand kerchief box and over a dozen hand some baskets of flowers. After finishing the 2,698th quarter Mme. Anderson turned up on the stage, and squeezing her way through the crowd was helped up to the reporters stand. After waiting to obtain quiet, Mme. Anderson said: "Keep your places and turn your heads toward me. I want to sing you a song. They tell me that the betting against my nlishinsr this feat has been very great, but I should be ashamed to mistrust the people of Brooklyn, who have stood by me through my weary task ; I should be ashamed to think that an unkind thought to me would be harbored tor one moment j man, notwithstanding any amount of money he might have bet against me. I am now going to sing you iul Desperandum." Mme. Anderson then hummed the air to the pianist and when he struck the piano, 'Half a note higher, catch that key, got it, that's right," she then added apolo getically, 'There is a good deal in knowing how to do things." Mme. Anderson then sang the song in her usual pleasant style, and the specta tors listened with rapt attention, ap plauding vociferously at the close of each verse. After finishing her song she returned to the track and started on the last quarter but one. Her trm-nr, round the seven laps was made in 3m. 12is., accompanied by tinuous and almost deafening applause. Then the immense crowd appeared to quiet down as if gathering strength for the final enort, anu wucu bell tinkled and the JViaaame new prompt to the second, there rose one deafening yell that was kept up almost continuously as the plucky woman speeded rounded the track in the fast est time that she ever showed. The first lap was made in 16 seconds, with the attendants running ahead to keep everything clear; the next showed 17 seconds by the watch, and the third was covered in 17 seconds also. The crowd still cheered and yelled, and the mob that thronged the streets on the dp also cauorht the enthusiasm, retired amid d afening applause, ana was quickly placed in a carriage and driven to Mr. Shepherd's Turkish bath, where she will remain for a few days.
