svx.-SAn e1-army officer has aischeme for the
introduction Of tbs yeloctpede for the rapid
transportation OF Infantry. He proposes to
.hxys the:Sehicle constructed with, two broad
tred wheels, one before tho other on the same
lire, connected by beam, astride which the
soldier sits and propels the vehicle by striking
the tips Of bis toes against the ground. The
mapsack, musket and equipments are to be
strapped upon the frame. his theory is that
-fhe kbor Of propelling carridge thus loaded
is only one-ffth that of marching; that the
steed wants neither water nor forage, and can
mot be seampeded; that it can be lifted over q
Fsncs impossible for cavalry; that it is quite
as swift as horse; and that it can be durably
made OF hard rubber at a cost OF the sum re-
-uuired to keep horse for month. He docs
not dwell upon the irresistible momentum Of q
.sharge Of velocipedes in battle.

fura. as usual over the graves Of the soyereigns
and the higher class Of mobiles. The courtyard
was thronged with people at work preparing
the grave. just near the gate, the masons
uere doing the stonework, and on the right
were the metal workers employed at their
furnaces, making silver box for coffin.
In another place carpenters were busy
making the wooden-house. The coffin was
very hrge-three feet seven inches In breadth
snd depth and about six feet long. 1t was
made of bars, each bar formed Of fifty. dollars
sEi7eted together in rough style, and very
little was done to polish it. The funeral pro-
eession was grand. The silver case was put
into the tomb beforehand, but the corpse was
carried under gorgeous scarlet canopied bier
-surmounted with crowns: This bier was taken
