The Ruling Passion.

4 very good story is told Of the old
embargo times and The war Of 1872.
Under the impulse of the removal of the
embargo there was sudden rise III the
value of property, and such demand
for it that merchandise was sometimes
carried off from vessels before the owners
arrived at their places of business; and
the parties taking it me in afterward
TO say that they were at the owners
mercy and must pay what they choose to
ask
A brig was lying at Boston harbor
which had come from Plymouth just
before the embargo was laid, ft for sea.
The Plymouth owner thought it was a
good time to sell the brig, and sent his
son up for the purpose, telling him to
demand eight thousand dollars for her.
and not take less than six thousand dol
lars John went to Boston, found how
things stood, sold the brig in moment,
as it were, and hurried home, elated with
his bargain. As he ncared the house,
he saw the old man marching up and
down the piazza, and presently he hasten
cd out to meet his son, and hear the
result Of the sale.
"Iave you sold the brig, John?''
"YAs, father"
'For how much:'
',Ten thousand dollars.
''Ten thousand dollars cried tle old
man, with staring eyes, at hearing price
more than double what the vessel cost
'tI'll bet you have sold her to some
swindler who don't care what the price
is, and never means to pay his notes"
'.Notes, did you say. father? Why,
there are no notes in the case. l got
the money and put it in the bank. Draw,
and you will get It."
The old gentleman's excitement was
suddenly cooled, and as the ruling pas
sion arose in its place, he said:
II say, John couldn't you have got a
| little more?''

The NEW VELOCIPEDES.-A ship
ment OF velocipedes, which have become
so very popular in Paris, may be soon
expected in this city. The three wheeled
yelocipedes used by boys, have been in
use for twenty years. but the kind in
question are an invention Of only three
years date, and have but two wheels,
one of which immediately succeeds the
other in straight line. a saddle is ele-
waited above them, and stirrups are used,
which. by a movement of the feet, create
a rapid action of the apparatus, with an
effort far less fatiguing to the limbs than
walking. The mode of mounting is first
to push it, accompanying the action by a
movement of the foot in the left stirrup,
and then suddenly to spring into the sad
die and use both stirrups. Fully week
Of practice is required, as the difficulty
to the rider of balancing himself is
great. A fall, however, is without dan
ger, as his foot is always near the ground,
aud he has only to disengage it mo-
ment from the stirrup to recover him.
self.
The movement Of the instrument is
very rapid. It can be propelled at the
rate of fifteen miles an hour, and races
For these the length of the Champs
Cloud, a distance of eight miles, is the
favorite route. Its height is three feet,
and length nearly seven feet. This last
is an objection to its use in crowded
streets. Otherwise it might be very use
full to men whose avocations require
much walking. The cost in Paris ranges
from 800 to 700 francs, according to fin-
ish. It promises to be extensively in
use here among young people, and will
be prominent feature of the Central
Park. It is commonly seen on the pleas
ure drives of Paris, and ever in the
streets, and is great favorite.
York Globe Aduertiser
When the celebrated engineer Brun-
mel, who accomplished the desperate ex-
pertinent of tunneling the Thames river,
was brought before committee of the
British Parliament, he was asked if the
speed Of eighty miles per hour on GER
tain railroad would be much more dam
gerous to the traveller upon it than the
| speed of forty.
1T would be just the same," said he
"And speed of ninety miles 2"
"Just the same"
"And speed of one hundred miles p
"Just the same! for added he, if the
cars should run off the track at the rate
OF forty miles per hour, the passengers
would all go to the d-l, and at one
hundred miles per hour, they could moi
conveniently go any further"
