The Pedespeed.

The Scientific american describes the
successor to the velocipede as . pair of
wheels some fourteen or fifteen inches
in diameter, to which We're attached
some stout stirrup.like appendages Of
hickory, in the bottoms Of which were
foot peices, shaped like the woods of
common skates.
On one side Of the stlrrup-like appeH-
dages were firmly fastened metallic plates
each having short axle or bearing
projecting from its center, upon viii ich
the wheels above men toned turned.
The stirrup like appendayes were made
Of flat strips Of wood about three inches
wide in the bro.dest portion, bent SO
that one side WAS nearly straight, while
the other was made to meet it about
midway to form sort Of loop. In the
bottom of this loop were placed the
foot pieces al owe described, provided
with toe straps aud u clasp for the heel.
To the upper end of the stirrups was at
tached q piece of wood to fit the outer
and upper conformation OF the calves Of
the legs.
In less time than 1t took VS. to note
these points, the young gentleman had
strapped Oh the wheels and commenced
rapidly gliding about among chairs and
tables with singular swiftness and grace
fitness. A space being cleared, he pro-
ceeded to execute with seemingly per-
feet ease. the inside and outside roll,
figure Of eight, ETC., amply demonstra-
ting that the "Pede-peed" has al the
capabilities Of the skate, both in the VA
riety and grace Of the evoiutious that
can be performed with Il.

kept up al itlcessant chatter all day
long. Their commodities consisted of
any thing In the way OF food, fruit,
furniture, or clothing that would sell.
The price of every thing was, of course,
enormous. The Piribebuy-a clear and
rapid stream, very sudden In its rises
and falls--passed at the foot Of the slope
on which the town was built. The
whole population bathesi here every
day. the women generally after night
fall. The house or official residence of
the Vice. President was Ia the upper
part Of the town. 1t was unpretenhing
in its style. The residenc Of the cabi-
net ministers, and the barracks for q
small detachment Of troops. occupied
the rest of the same side of the street.
all fronting Oh the open space In the
center.
Al this time the population OF the
town was more than trebled by the peo-
pie who had abandoned their homes
outside the district of the Cordilleras.
At night these unfortunates thronged
the corridors and orange groves. OF slept
any where by the road side where night
overlook them. There was great scar
city Of food, and suffering such as no
other land has ever known. Nor was
famine their most deadly enemy. The
cholera, for short time, was terrible
visitor in all the crowded cottages; and
for some weeks 1t seemed as II the three
scourges from which men pray to be
delivered-war, pestilence, and famine -
had combined to destroy this unhappy
people. For fear Of being accused here
Of unfairn ess. 1t il well for Us to remind
the reader Of what the allied COVER
ments and writer's are constantly and
solemnly announcing to the world,
with admirable serenity and earnest
ne.s-that the war il carried Oh not
against the people but against the go
ernment Of Paraguay. They have gen
eroasly taken pains, too, to commune
cate this fact to this same people on re-
peated occasions; but we could not learn
that 1t changed the direction Of u single

There used to be pious old negro in Boston
named Caesar. and he was in the habit OF pray
ing SO loudly as to be heard by many of the
neighbors; On retiring for the night his petit
ton invariably was Lord, send dy angel for
ole Cesar ole Caesar always ready. One even
ing two of his neighbors, good men, but some
times bored by his style, " thought they would
try him On. They took position at his door,
and when the usual petition was made that
dat de Lord would send de angel, ole Caesar
being always ready, 'athey knocked loudly at
the door.
Who dar?'' said de ole darkey.
The angel Of the Lord, come for old Caesar,
was the reply.
Out went the light, a scEambling into bed
son of dusky Ham exclaimed: Go way, dar, -
go way ole Caesar been dead dis ten year
