need not be added to she proposed new dee
oar:mene The President assured the gene
tieren that he was already convinced tnat
a change should Ne made. but not Tor the
reasons tina. have been alleged against Gen'
era. Emory. It appeared to him that :he
i:scOn.entei white element OF tho S3uth
was too we'll organized to admit OF any
:emporz;ng policy. and the military repre-
sentative o: the government should be one
who woald promptly grasp ths RESPONSE.
plac nc General Sheridan in command. but
General Terry.s experience as military
governor Of Georgia. and his ability to act

The bicycle mania In this country
soon yielded to treatment. IL died
quietly, and the velocipede was rel
cgatcd to the occasional urchin.
But in England the veloclpede is
advancing in popularity. The
crude machine OF six or seven years
ago has given place to n very light
and durable affair made entirely OF
the best steel, and with n wheel 60
inches in diameter. The speed at

reaches % miles All hour for short
distances, while runs of GO miles are
by no means rare. Matches of 100
miles in eight hours are common,
and letter carriers and messenger
boys are bringing the bicycle into
rapid use. The principle manulac-
turers are oYcrcrowded with orders,
and are weeks bchindhand in their
mlfillment. The London Standard
gives an account of q match against
time from Bath TO London, II dis
lance of l07 miles, TO be performed
in eight hours. The rider would
undoubtedly have won but for an
episode which, with others, shows
that the Briton's Yauntcd love of
fair play is not by any means as Sc
cureiy founded as it should he. Az
ter meeting with an accident which
knocked him into the gutter, the
rider reached n point near the city
of Windsor with half an hour to
spare, according TO the schedule.
This left him more than two hours
and half to- do the remaining 81
miles, and AZ lie had the best OF the
road before him he went leisurely
to work. At this point he was set
upon by four Grace course roughs,"
who had been lurking in the hedge
awaiting his coming. lie was near
ly murdered, and his bicycle so
damaged that, on recovering con-
sciousness, he had to drag it TO the
next station on the road, four miles
distant. Here he was supplied with
an inferior velocipedc, and, MANNED
and faint, made his way into Lon
don % minutes late, losing his
wager. The roughs' had evidently
been employed by sporting men
who hal bet against him. The poor
mans appearance confirmed his
story, aud produced an uproar
among the betting men generally.
lie declared that he could have
made the distance in seven hours
and half; that lac did il in less
than nine under the circumstances
was a still more remarkable feat.
