AS this newly invented mode OF loconno-
tlon-Or, rather, an old one improved-has
occupied the thoughts of foreigners, and may
soon be introduced among us, we copy tho
following description of the principles upon
which it 10 based from the Scientific 1ussyS-
can: = y
The velocipede u attracting considerable
attention, not only from the surprising
feats which it is made to perform, but also
the eese and rapidity with which the oper-
compared with the time and labor necessary
to travel the same by walking. That
carriage or veiOcipede with but two wheels,
the one following the track Of the other,
and propelled BY the feet of the rider {by
simple crank motions,) should maintain an
upright position, is, to the superficial OBJ
server, one of the most surprising feats OF
practical mechanics. When, however, wo
consider the law of moving bodies and
their tendency to continue in the direction
OF the impulse that set them in motion, and
apply it tp the velocipede, we nave the
philosophy of the whole problem. The ease
or the operator to maintain his equilibrium
while the machine is in motion, or, rather,
the tendency of the velocipede to be
sen-sustaining, after certain velocity Is
attained, is the same as that which sustains,
against the law of gravity, tho spinning
top, the revolving wheel, and the rolling
hoop. In experimenting upon this subject,
we observe that n wheel Of given dimensions
Will maintain its equilibrium while revOlv-
ing down q slightly inclined plane, with no
greater velocity than from five to six miles
per hour; and when its motion becomes
sufficiently retarded to incline to either
side, that the, wheel does not Immediately
drop, as in tho instance of one set upright
and not in motion; but as it is more re-
tarded, it describes spiral curve of de-
creasing form, and, finally, comes to the
ground. Now, from the very nature of
this curve being in the direction, or on the
side of tho falling wheel, it has tendency
to raise the wheel to an upright position;
and were it's motion, while in the act of
falling, uniform and not retarding one,
it is evident that, like the velocipede, it
would regain it's balance, and, with no
interfering obstacle, would again move off
in q direct line. The rule that governs the
| motions of the simple wheel is applicable
to the more complex vclocipede, with this
difference, that, in the latter, tho propelling
force is continuously applied, and for this
cause, that the rider could upset his vehicle
while moving in straight line, and with q
certain velocity, is impracticable. Hence,
as we understand the philosophy Of tho
velocipede and it's mechanical simplicity,
we infer the practical utility of the same,
and wonder why it was not brought into
use sooner.

PLEASURES OF BESEvoLENcE.--Ther is
more pleasure in seeing others happy than
in seeking to be happy ourselves. There
is more pleasure in acquiring knowledge to

Queer Things about Bees.

The poppybee makes her nest in
the ground, burrowing down about
three inches. At the bottom she
makes large round role, and lines it
splendidly with the scarlet leaves of
the wild poppy. She cuts and fits the
pretty tapestry, till it is thick and soft
and warm, then partly fills the cell
with honey, lays an egg, folds down
the red blankets, and closes up the
hole, so it cannot be distinguished !;
and there in its coy cradle, with food
to eat, and soft nook to rest in, she
leaves her baby-bee to take care of it.
self. The leaf cutting bee makes her
cells of green leaves, shaping them
like thimbles. These little jars she
half fills with a rose-colored paste of
honey and pollen from thistles, lays
her eggs, and covers the pots with
round leaf lids that fit exactly. The
mason bee makes it's nest of mud and
mortar. 1t looks like a bit Of dirt,
sticking to a wall, but has little cells
within. The mother bee does all the
work, sticking little grains of sand
and earth together with her own glue.
The carpenter bee bores holes in posts,
and makes her cells of sawdust and
glue. The carding bees live in holes,
among stones and roots, making nests
lined with wax to keep the wet out,
with long gallery by which to enter
They find a bit of moss and several
bees place themselves in row, with
their backs toward the nest; then the
foremost avs hold of the moss and
pulls it up with her jaws, drives it with
her fore-feet under her body towards
the next as far as possible. The sec
ond does the same, and in this way
tiny heaps ofmoss are got to the nest
by the file of four or five, and others
weave it into shape.

Stubborn Facts.

The Radical press in this State is
complaining, at great rate, Of what
they style intimidation of colored
voters. We cite their attention to the
startling fact, that five counties in this
State Carroll, Rankin, Copiah, La
fayette and De Soto-with a total regis
tered majority Of 1915 blacks, have
gone Democratic by NINE THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT.
To say that intimidation has been
used toward the colored voters of these
counties, is false upon its face. How
is it possible that majority of whites
in these counties could carry intimi-
dation to an extent not only sufficient
to overcome a majority Of blacks of
1915, but actually carry it Democratic
by such large figures as 1929?

Grants runaway trip to the Rocky
Mountains excites general comment in
every circle. 1t has been even limited
that this ''habits" had something to do
with the move, an that it was made in
obedience to the orders of his medical
director. Others consider it a pru-
dental step to get out of reach of
speech making and visitors. Others
again thought 1t a cowardly retreat
before the invective of Wendell Phil
lips. 1t turns out, however, that a
different motive lay at the bottom Of
it. The President has ordered the
Secretary of War to refer the Georgia
military arrests to Grant for adjudica
ton, in accordance with the laws of
Congress. In doing this Mr.. John
son reserved to himself the right to
set aside Grants ruling, if it should be
unjust. Grant has, therefore, got out
of the way to shirk the responsible

Which Office have held from the first Janu-

In thus resigning a position of some i'm
portanCe and responsibility, feel it incum-
Dent upon me to state, that among other
circumstances which have induced me to
this course, is more especially the one con-
tanned in the subjoined statement of facts,
viz -
About eleven o'clock yesterday, the 3rd
July, Mr.. J. H. Boyd, a Justice of the Peace,
requested me to sit with him in certain
case. / consented and in a short time
after, we entered into the investigation of a
charge made upon the affidavit of one Joshua
Green, citizen, against one John McRae, al
so a citizen, ofhaving on or about the third
day of july, 1868, in the county of Kinds
and State of Mississippi, unlawfully assault
ed the said Green with deadly weapon, to-
wit: pistol. Whilst the first witness upon
the stand was being cross-examined by the
counsel for the accused, an officer of the
United States Army, entered, and after ar
resting said Green, the prosecutor and other
my associate Justice and myself, that by mil
tary order, he commanded the suspension of
all further proceedings in the case. He fur
thermore took possession of the accused
forcibly out of the custody of the court.
In view of such an extraordinary proce-
| dure asked said officer for the necessary
| official papers as proofs of authority for such
course, and in order that they might be
| spread upon the minutes of the court The
| officer promised to furnish them as soon as
| possible The court then adjourned, after
| ordering that such official papers as might
| be received from said officer, be entered upon
| the record. and after making most emphatic
| protest against such interference with It's
| constituted authority.
Late in the evening of yesterday, two
| official papers were received from the COM

are copied:
