The Empress Eugenie, It Is stated in the French
Journals, 10 sn adept In the management OF three
wheeled velocipede constructed for her own use
At 4 cost of 5000. With such an example ct tho
head Of the fashionable world how can the ladies
Of America abstain from indulgence in this health
full and attractive species Of outdoor exercise
TIE DIFFERENT KINDS or vILoCIPKDEs.
We have the one wheeled bicycle, the tricycle.,
the -four. wheeled and the steam velocipede. The
general opinion among French experts IL that for
short distances and great speed the bicycle ID the
best for long distances and speed, the tricycle.,
or three wheeled for long distances with speed
and comfort. the four wheeled that the two
wheeled b the most fahguing, on account OF the
great effort required to keep erect while driving
1t that in long races, between men OF equal
strength and skill, the three wheeled generally
wins that in the longest races, between the same
riders. the fourw wheeled always comes out ahead.
Whatever may however be the opinion on the
other side of the pond, certain II ID that the two
wheeled velocipede has gained preference 90
this side. 1t costs, or will soon cost, compare
lively little to purchase and does not eat itself mp
10 the form Of hay and oats within year or two.
The demand for 1t is daily increasing, everybody
il, being eager for its possession. Nevertheless
the Scientific American dampens this ard0r, while
yet allowing the superior grace and speed OF the
bicycle, by gravely announcing Its conviction thas
the veIocipede, destined to become q fixed fact 40
much % locomotives and steamboats,, is not yet
born. II says: at is by no means certain thss
the coming velocipede is TO be two.wheeled
vehicle. What IL very much needed IL veloci-
pede which shall be light, graceful, easy to mount
and easy of propulsion something, In short,
which everybody. young or old, can use with
satisfaction, and without the constant fear OF
cspsiziDg."
At all events we must let well enough alone,
and be content with the goods the gods provide
us. That the bicycle 10 popular enough is evil

For The Rev Orleans Sunday CRESCENT
TO MISS MARY 3.
THE THREE WISHES.

A fairy came 10 me one day,
A merry, laughing sprite " as he;
he said he'd grant, IN voice sunk low,
What ere I asked In wishes three.
Perhaps you think sought for wealth
And all the power ii could buy;
No, no, / asked q mountain cot,
I'd value 1t just thrice as high.
! wished that might find q maid
To deck this little cot OF mine,
Who'd value my love more than wealth,
Whose heart strings round our homo would
twine.
Her hair must be Of hazel hue,
Just the color of thine, fair girl,
And wave in tresses from her brow
With here and there stray, lost curl.
OF heavenly blue her eyes must be,
And fash as brightly a. do thine,
And when look the love feel
Will answer back the same to mine.
And she must have an angels form,
And have an angels virtues too;
All these combined in one / ask,
No other maid for me will do.
"'Ts well, tits well.r the fairy cried,
And then my chair he neared,
all grant thy Wishes" then he smiled
And slowly disappeared.
The fay one wish. in thee did grant,
The cot will surely come In time,
And III have gained my wishes three
Ifthou wilt link thy fate to mine.

THE DOMINION OF CANADA.

OTTAWA, May 15.-In the House of Com.
mons last night Hon. Mr. Rose brought down
q series OF resolutions on banking and curron.
cy which, II carried into effect, will make q
radical change in the banking business of the
Dominion. The general features of the scheme
are copied from the nat onal bank system ~
the United States, Though there is considera-
bic difference in several particulars. The bank
notes and Government legal tenders now in
circulation are all to be called in and no more
such notes will be issued. The currency is TO
consist hereafter solely of bank notes secured
by Government debentures. The banks are to
purchase Government debentures in such
amonnt as they may severally choose. They
are to deposit the debentures In the hands of a
receiver General in trust, for which the Re
celver General will give legal tender notes to
;he amount of tho debentures deposited. The
legal tender notes are to be redeemable at the
once OF the bank designated upon them. and
each bank is always to have on hand to redeem
them one dollar in gold for every dollar of
notes in circulation bearing its superscription.
Should any bank fail to redeem its notes on
presentation the debentures deposited with
the Government are to be made available for
their redemption. The banks are to receive
interest from the Government on the amount
Of debentures deposited with the Receiver
General. The act will not come into force
until 1870
