LlEBlG WHEN BoY.-Liebig was dis
tinguished at school as "booby," the on
ly talent then cultivated in German
schools being verbal memory. On one
occasion, being sn%eoringly asked by the
master what he proposed 10 become, since
he was so bad a scholar, and answering
he would be a chemist, the whole school
burst into a laugh Of derision. Not long
ago, Liebig saw his old school master,
who foelingly lamented his own fermer
blindness. The only boy in the same
school who ever disputed with Liebig the
station of ''booby," was one who never
could learn his lesson by heart, but was
continually composing music, and writing
it down by stealth in school. This same
individual, Liebig lately found at Wen
ma, distinguished as a composer, and con-
ductor of the Imperial Opera House.
His name is Reuling. IL is to be hoped
that Il more rational system Of school in
struction is now gaining ground. Can
anything be more absurd and detcstable
than a system which made Waller Scott
and Justus Liebig ''boobies'' at school,
and so effectually concealed their natural
talents, that, for example, Liebig was
often Occurred before the whole school on

ken hearts 10 his parents, while he was
all the time conscious, as the above an
ecdote proves, of the possession oflalentS

GA ONE WHEELED CARRIAGE-THE
Houses lNsIDE-A new and very novel
invention called a one wheeled coach
has recently been tried with success out
West and promises 10 be of much value
especially on priaries, or wherever the
surface Of the ground is tolerably level.
The vehicle consists Of a large hollow
wooden wheel, fourteen feet in diameter
andsix feet wide. The horses are placed
inside and propel it along in the same
manner that n Gagged squirrel makes lis
wheel to revolve. Stats are nailed on
the inside floor of the wheel by which
The horses obtain fooIholds. In the centre
is a small iron shaft from which depends
hangers which support four comfortable
sofas for passengers; the wheel thus re-
wolves freely, the seats remaining in per.
feet equilibrium. The arrangement for
guiding The carriage is very simple and
effective; it a make a much shorter
turn than a stage coach.
A very successful trial Of one ofIhese
carriages was recently made on the State
road, between Canal Dover and New
Philadelphia, Tuscarawas Co. Obi,
which perfectly demonstrated their utili
ty in transporting very heavy loads will
ease and rapidly, The carriage was FL
led by a party of t%wenty-Gour ladies' and
gentlemen, with two heavy drought hor
SEES previously trained 10 propel them
The distance between the two places, five
miles, was performed in % minutes OF
the first nip, aud 25 minutes on the sec
/ ond. The horses are not confined by
harness, and they travel, as it were on al
endless plank road, their work is com
. paralively easy.-C}ereiand Herald.
