Cincinnati In the South
The Atlanta Constitution describes
Cincinnati's position in the south as
ful ows :
Cincinnati is ambHioua , bui her
ambition ia of that slow n turo that
generally pertains t } accumulated
vrealtb. She has expendtd $20,000-
OCO in building a road to the heart of
tha southeast in order to at least share
the southern trnde. The road is a
fina one in itself. In itself it is all
iho people of Cincinnati ever bar
gained for. But Cincinnati has &
naar-at-hsnd rival in Louisville
- - , to
eiy nothing of Chicago and St. Louis
aud the eastern cities. Theae rivals
are doing their best to destroy the
value of her southern connection , to
circumvent and defeat all her efforts to
gain either southern trade or south
ern sea outlet. Tlie Richmond & Dan
ville combination are doing all they
can to divert trade to the east ; Chica
go has a longitudinal road running
straight to the gulf ; St. Lunis has not
abandoned the cia-Missiesippi coun
try ; and the Loaisvillo combination
ara at work to Trail up Cincinnati's
road at Oha'tanoogi. The efforts of
the last-nsracd corporation are un
ceasing , and to-day Cincinnati's twen

ARMISTICE WITH THE BOERS.
Special Dispatch to The Bee.
LONDON , March 8 10 p. m. In
the house of commons to-day , in reply
to a question , Gladstone siid the gov
ernment had never requested the ar
mistice of eight days entered into by
Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood with the
IJoors , but that , neveithelass , the
government entirely approved of Gen.
Wocd's conduct in the matter. Glad
stone added that ha could not say who
originally proposed the armistice , and
tnat the government had no informa
tion on the subject. This statement
has created much surprise , as the
ministry hnd been credited with baring -
ing given Gen. Wood a cue upon
which to act. A dispatch from New
castle says that in coin ertaticn with
Gen. Wood and others representing
the British government , the Boers
state that if their leaders are amnes
tied and a commission granted to In
quire into and redress thair grijyan-
ces , they will submit to the authority
of England. It is believed that the
cabinet will grant these terms , and an
early termination of the war is con-
eidered probable. Indeed , some sur
prise is felt that the Boers , after thalr
rscent victories , should have not in
sisted upon their independence. Cur-
tent comment h tiiat tha government
will bo glad to get out of the Trans-
veal trouble on such easy terms.

A S20O.OOO BET.
NINETEEN HUND11ED MILES ACROSS THE
. MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS BY PONY EX
PRESS.
Et. Jce ( Mo. ) News.
In 1859 St. Joaaph was tha western
terminus of railroad communication.
Beyond this the stage coach , the sad
dle horse , and the ox trains were the
only meant of communication with
Rocky mountains and the Pacific
slope. In the winter of 18GO there was
a Wall street lobby at Washington
trying to get § 5,000,000 for carrying
them ' overland for one year between
Now lork and San Francisco. The
proposition was extremely cheeky ,
and William H. Russell , backed by
Secretary of War Floyd , resovled tc
give the lobby a cold shower
bath. He therefore offered tc
bet $200,000 that he could put on a
mail line from Sacramento to St. Jo
seph that should make the distance
1,950 miles in ten days. The" bet
-was taken and the 8th of April fixed
upon cs the day for starting. Mr.
Russell called upon his partner and
general manager of business upon the
plains , Mr. A. B. Miller , now a citi
zen of Denver , and stated what he
had done , and asked if be could per
form the feat. Miller replied : "Yea ,
air ; I will do it , and do it by a ponj
express. " To accomplish this Mr
Miller purchased 300 of the fleetest
horses he could find in the wcat and
ployed 125 men. Eighty of theae men
were to be post riders. These ho se
lected with reference to their light
weighfr and their known
daring and courage. It waa very es
sential that the horses should be
loaded as luht as possible ; therefore
the lighter the man the better. It
waa necessary that some portions of
the route should be run at the rate ni
twenty-milea an hmr. The horzej
were stationed from ten to twenty
miles apart , and each rider would b e
required to ride sixty miles. For the
change of animals and tbo shifting of
thu mails two miuutes were allowed.
Wnere there were no stage stations at
proper distances , tents euffisiont to
hold one man and two horses were
provided. Indians would sometimes
give chase , but their cayueo ponies
made but sorry show In their ctcrn
chase after Millcr'a thoroughbreds ,
many cf which could make a single
mile In a minute and fifty seconds.
All arrangements being completed ,
a signal gun on the steao.er at Sacramento
monte proclaimed the roerldan of April
8,1860 the hour for starting when
Border Ruffian , Mr. Miller' * private
saddle-horse , with Billy Baker in tha
saddle , bounded away towards the
foothills of the Sierra Nevada * , and
nude his ride of 20 miles in 49 min
utes. The snows were deep in the
mountains , and one rider waa loat for
several hours in a dep snow-storm ;
and after the Salt Like valley was
reached additional speed was necessary
to reach St. Joseph on time. From
here on all went well net 11
the Platfe w'as to be crossed
at Julesburg. The river was up and
running rapidly , but the rider plung
ed his horse into the flood , only , how
ever , to nilro in the quicksand and
drown. The courier succeeded in
reaching the other shore , with hu
mail-bag in hand , and travellud ten
miles on foot to reach the next
relay. Johnny Fry , a popular rider
of his day , waa to make the finish.
He had sixty miles to ride , with six
horses to do it. When the laat
courier arrived from the sixty-mile
post , oat from St. Joseph , he was one
hour behind time. A heavy rain
bad set in , and the Broads worn
slippery. Two hundred thousand
dollars might turn upon a single min
ute. Fry had fust two hours and
thirty minutes in which to win. This
was the finish of the longest race , for
the largest stakes , over run in Ameri
ca. When the time for hia arrivnl
was nearly up at least 5,000 people
stood upon the river bank , with eyes
turned toward the woods from which
the horse and rider should
emerge into thn open country in
the roar of Elwnod one milo
from the finish. Tick , tick , went
thousands of watches ! The time was
nearly up ! But seven minutes re
mained ! Hark ! a ehout goes op from
the aasooib'ed ' multitude , "He comes !
hb comes ! " The nnblo little mare ,
Svlph , the daughter of littla Arthur ,
darts like an arrow from tha bow , and
makes the rnn of the laat mile in one
minute and fifty seconds , landing upon
the ferry-boat with five minutes and a
fraction to spare.
