Col. BlIss-A correspondent of the
Boston Atlas gives a short biography of
Col. Bliss, the gallant Aid and accom-
plished Secretary of General Taylor.
Col. w. w. S. Bliss was born in Au-
gust, 1915. and passed the earlier years
of his life in Lebanon, N. H. His father
Captain John Bliss. graduated at West
Point in 1911, was promoted to the rank
of Captain in 1918, and died at Mobile
in 1922. Col Bliss entered the military
academy at the early age of fourteen, and
graduated at the age of eighteen with the
highest honors of his class, which led to
his immediate appointment as Lieuten
ant. For his bravery and prompt dis
charge of duty, he was promoted in 1910,
and served through all the Florida war
as assistant Adjutant General, with the
rank of Captain. When our army re
paired to Texas, he discharged the duty
of Adjutanl General, with the rank o
Major, and in all Taylor's hard tough
battles the duty of first Aid.

THE ONE WHEELED CARRMGE-THE
HoRsE lNsIDE.-A new and very novel
invention called one wheeled coach, has
recently been tried with success out
West, and promises to be Of much value,
Especially on prairies, or wherever the
surface Of the ground is tolerably level.
The vehicle consists Of large hollow
wooden wheel. fourteen feet in diameter
and six feet wide. The horses are pla.
ced inside and propel it along in the same
manner that Gagged squirrel makes its
wheel to revolve. Stats are nailed on
the inside floor the wheel. by which the
horses obtain foot hold. In the centre is
a small iron shaft, from which depend
hangers which support four comfortable
sofas for passengers; the wheel thus re-
wolves freely, the seats remaining in per
feet equilibrium. The arrangement fol
guiding the carriage is very simple and
Elective; it can make much shorter turr
than a stage coach.
A very successful trial of one of lhes,
carriages was recently made, on the Stat,
road between Canal Dover and New
Philadelphia. Tuscarawas Co., Ohio
which perfectly demonstrated their utiIi
ty in transporting very heavy loads wit
ease and rapidity. The carriage wa
filed by party of twentyfour ladies' ant
gentlemen, with two heavy draught hor
ses previously trained to propel them
The distance between the two places
FIVE miles, was performed in 2S minute
E on the first trip, and 25 minutes on tn
. second. The horses are not confined b
! harness, and as they travel. as it were o
an endless plank road, their work is con
paraively easy.

FALSE CHARITY.-A negro preacher,
speaking from What is man PORTED
if he gain the whole world and lose his
own soull" mentioned among otherthings,
that they lost their souls by being too
charitable! Seeing the congregation as
tonished beyond measure at his saying,
he very emphatically repeated it, and
then proceeded to explain his meaning
"Many people" said he, "attended NEE
ting, heard the sermon, and when it is over
they proceeded to divide it among the
congregation-this part for that man, and
that parl for that woman; such denuncia
tons for yon sinners-and so, +" continued
the shrewd African, they give away the
whole sermon, and keep none for them
selves"
