The Horse Cars aegtggy
For the railroad which is being constructed to ira
verse Broadway, New York, weigh but two thousand
pounds each, accommodate twentyfour passengers
and are drawn by one horse each. The full compile

every other minute is twenty, and they will all be in
circulation in opposite directions at the same time
save the few seconds occupied at the start thus form

That Nature made great mistake in not endowing
the system of the femals sex with the beard grow
ing power. The beard is article that is altogether
more for ornament than use, and therefore should
pertain to the ladies. How much better they would
manage IL Into what fanciful conceits would they
not cultivate it! What killing styles of moustache
and whisker would they not devise! How the razor
would enable the display Of the clear complexion OF
youth and matrony beard hide the salow or wrin-
ked skin of advancing years, now concealed by plast
ering OF cosmetics, lily white and rosy rouge! Ma
ture is certainly in error in this matter It is I'M
worthy the dignity of man to waste his time in sed
ulons daily attention TO mere matter of facial adorn
ment, as it is hard that femininity should be de-
prived Of privilege SO properly its own.

English at this time, and is apparently excessively
verdant traveller for pleasure, entirely ignorant of
European affairs and politics. He is /" an emissary
Of France, sent forth to ncite to desertion and
volt the Hungarian soldiery of Austria. Shouldn't
be surprised if this dangerous and dishonorable mas

water. He should be sensible enough to stay quietly
in his sumptuous retreat and spend the money cor.
