He proposes to board over oil the cutters on
each side Of the streets, and this roadway,
three or four feet wide, is to be the future
velocipede hlgh-road OF the city. A thousand
| tricycles are to be placed on 1t, each with a
practiced driver dressed In neat uniform,
who will undertake to conduct one person
| with letters, parcels, &c., along this road. AS
velocipedestrians always drive straight, room
to turn is not required, and when the road is
free 1t will serve rs q footpath. A small charge
for passengers parcels and letters, will, It cs-

vantage to Berlin to bridge over lne cutters, as
they are at present very unslghtly, and are
liable to be frozen over In winter. Moreover,

The new journalistic enterprise oGhenry
de Villemcssant, the proprietor and managing
editor of the Paris Figaro, has been great
SUCCESS, upward Of one hundred thousand
copies of the so-called Figaro Album having
been sold. Yillcmessants original Idea, as
Blavet, the editor OF this ''surprise number"
Informs lib, was to apply to oil political, artIs-
tic, scientific and social celebrities of France
for articles TO be published in the Figaro
Album, without regard to their religious and
political views Blavet thinks that such
surprise number could not but surpass
anything that had hitherto appeared in this
line. Tho Illness Of the Emperor Napoleon
prevented the editor from opening his series
Of articles with Q oon-mot from the pen of his
Majesty, as Bavet had originally intended to
do. Napoleon the Third would no doubt have
consented to furnish few lines for that pur-
pose. But even as 1t is, the album is very
interesting journalistic production. Besides
