The Velocipede.

The velocipede seems destined to come
into use in this city, though it will not
soon attain here the vogue it has reached
in France Our streets are too narrow
and too crowded, and we have few broad,
smooth avenues affording the opportunity
of employing it extensively as a means of
exercise and health. Still, it is so attrac
tive and fascinating, developing so much
strength and skill, and affording SO much
amusement to the rider, that its vOtaries
and students must become numerous
The only artistic velocipedes consist of
two wheels, the one directly behind the
other, and connected together by light
iron frame work. The fore-wheel is
usually little higher of the two. Where
great speed Is aimed at, its diameter may
be made as great as four feet, while that of
the hind wheel should hardly exceed two
feet and eight or ten inches. In most OF
those that have been seen in this city
the two wheels have been pretty near
equal, with diameters of about two feet
and four inches.
The propelling force is applied through
treadles, which are fixed in the fore wheel.
The rider drives himself by the alternate
action of his feet upon these treadles. The
motion of the feet is not unlike that in
AoPNu WdlhlbS. uc llUcI 5lto u pOu d IlttlC
saddle just over the fore part Of the hind
wheel. He guides his velocipede by turn
ing the wheel to either side. This is done
by means Of stiff iron rod which rises
from the axle, and has cross bar at the
top that is held by both hands Of the
rider.
The first art of the velocipede is to keep
your balance. This is not unlike the same
operation in skating. 1t can only be ac-
quired by practice. The more rapid the
motion, the easier it is to keep the machine
upright. In velocipede contests in Paris,
prizes have been given to the slowest
rider.
With wheels of small diameter, the rider
stops himself by putting his feet to the
ground. With high wheels, he cheeks his
speed with brake, and descends to the
earth by inclining to one side till the foot
touches. In mounting with high wheels,
skillful practitioner starts his velocipede
with a push, and then springs into the
saddle, as we have watched Richard O'Gor-
man mount horse at speed.
The most beautiful velocipedes that we
have seen have been French, but several
carriage-makers in this city are engaged
in building them. They promise machines
much superior to any from Paris. New

Ladies, Don't Wear High Heels!

An exchange says narrow shoes with
high heels, which are now all the fashion,
are serious obstacles to good figure
Without solid basis it is impossible to
sustain the form in an erect posture, and
poised, as our young girls are, upon the
stills of fashion, it is not easy to preserve
their equilibrium. They thus habitually
bend forward or backward, to the right or
to the left, until, in the course of time, they
become permanently misshapen in one d.
rection or the other. And this is not all.
The heels of fashionable shoes worn by
ladies are so small at the bottom as to af-
ford little or no support to the ankles
This in part accounts for the peculiar walk
of those who wear them, and this is caus-
ing many weak and sprained ankles, for
which there is no cure. An ankle once
sprained is ever after liable to be injured
by very slight cause. No lady who val
ues her comfort in life and her limbs upon
which she depends for locomotion, will
wear high heels tapered off as is now the
fashion.

The Central City (Col) Register tells
about a plucky frontiersman who came
into Plum Creek recently. 1t appears
from his story that he was driving along
one of the highways of that region in a
lumber wagon, accompanied by his boy,
some seven or eight years of age, when
suddenly the Indians surrounded him,
cracking away with their guns and re-
volvers. Having Spencer rifle, with
only one cartridge, he fired at the nearest,
knocked him out of the saddle, then
springinIg from the wagon, and telling the
boy to lay down fiat and whip the horses
into dead run, he dubbed his gun and
began whacking at them right and left
with all his might. A great many shots
were fired at him, three of which took
effect, but, being flesh wounds, failed to
disable him. He succeeded in MASKING in
the skull of one gentle savage, and the
enemy, finding him dangerous fellow to
fool with, soon drew off their forces.
