. A journey on bycicles from Liverpool to
London, by way of Oxford and Henley,
has just been accomplished by two of the
Liverpool Velocipede Club, IN three days.
They travelled only in the day time.
Their bycicles caused no little astonish-

by the natives were amusing. At some
Of, the. villages the boys clustered
around the machines, and, when they
could, caught hold of them and ran be-
hind them until they were tired out.
MANY inquiries were made as to the name
of "them queer horses, some calling them
"whirligigs," "menageries' and ''valpar,,

Birmingham, attempts were made to up
set the riders by throwing stones. The
tourists carried their luggage IN carpet
bags, which can be fastened on by strap
ping them in front or on the portmanteau

plished the distance in much less time.

Paper from Asbestos.
SHERMAN House, April 9Th,


70 the Editor of the Evening Post
SIR: In, your estimable paper Of last
evening, read an article headed " PGper
from stoA0, relating to the fact, that, paper
is now made in Italy from Asbestos, the
invention Of a priest, etc. Allow me sir,
to mention to you the fact, that in the
month of February, 1868 when it was
discovered that some counterfeit United
States bonds were in circulation, and
which were so,Well executed that even
the officials in the Treasury Department,
Of the United States could not detect the
genuine, | set to work to invent mate
rial for the sole use Of the government Of
the 9. S., on which to execute their bonds,
andalso greenbacks, but more especially
the fractional currency, the test of the lie.
Ultimate ones to be, by passing them
through the fire without being consumed
by the flame, while all others that would
consume, would not only be detected, but
would also be Immediately destroyed by
The test.
l burned the midnight oil" and sue.
ceeded at last in obtaining a fire-proof
paper froln the fibres of the Asbestos, and
being intimately acquainted with the
Hon. Reverdy johnson, at that time in
she Z. S. Senate and now Minister to En-
gland, submitted to him the result of
my experiment, with request to show it
to the Secretary of the Treasury, asking
for small subsidy SO as to be able to
make the experiment on large scale, for
the sole use and benefit ofthe government
Of the United States.
Professor Shafter of the Patent Office,
as we'll as Professor Henry of the Smith
the p per, and Endorsed its practicability
yet the all absorbing question of impeqcb-
ane7lt, which then agitated all minds, push
ed science to the back ground, andI have
now in my possession letter from the
Hon. Reverdy Johnsan, III which he con-
graduates me on my Gerry 0GJua6l8 disco9e-
ru, manifesting at the same time that the
Secretary Of the Treasury had no money
ql50tted By Congress to squGnder IN egper5-
naent8."
This liscouraging answer threw cold
chill cn my enthusiasm, and | dropped
the sdbject.
The Asbestos is found in large quanti
tics i'll the United States, and by q very
cheap process can be spun into the finest
flhre, and am astonished that practical
men, especially those engaged in the man
ufacture OF paper, have not long since
thought of a substitute for rags. Fibrous
substances like the Bamboo tree, the Ag-
ave Americana, etc, are brought to the
y. S. for the manufacture of paper, while
the Asbestos is so neErat hand, and no use
made Of the same.
My object in communicating the above
fact is simply in the interest of science,
and should l be fortunate enough to see
in the columns Of your paper that you
have taken notice Of these lines, it will
afford me the greatest pleasure to present
myself peronaIly to you, and show you
practically, what I now assert IN this com
munication
l have the honor to be yours, very res
peetfully, DIR; n,
Member Of various Societies OF Natural
