The Bicycle In England.

The bicycle continues to gain fresh
devotces in England, and it is no lon.
ger open to sccptics to pooh-pooh the
advantages of the machine as a means
of locomotion. A very simple an-
swer to such cavillers might lie given
by the 500 bicyclists who recently as
scmbled in Bushy Park, near London
for grand meet. Tho blcyclists
were for the most part young men.
but the middle aged we're well repro
scntcd, and there were some who
might claim to be venerable. There
were not few noblcmen and mem
bcrs of Parliament there too, an d al
togcthcrit was Il very distinguished
gathering. That the metropolis
should DC able to produce nearly 500
riders at n casual meet is of itself
strong evidence OF the popularity of
the bicycling art, but there are other
facts which still more strikingly dc.
monstratc it. Whereas last year
England could only boast of scvcn-
teen bicycle clubs, their number has
i'll one short twelve month risen to
sixty-eight. Leaving London for the
moment altogether out Of the ca!culo.
ton, it is estimated that there are two
thousand members of clubs in the
provinces; besides some 5000 riders
unattached to any organized society,
The nrt is not without its votaries
and patrons in high quarters. Mr..
Loves devotion to it is notorious: the
Prince imperial is connected as nh
honorary member with the West
Kent Bicycle Club, while the Earl of
Lewis President of the Tumbridge-
wells and Lord Gordon Grenyille of
the Peterboro clubs. More convin-
cling than anything else, however,
rs to the increasing practice of bicy-
Gle riding is the fact that the firm Of
ConVentry WHO are the principal
manufacturers Of the machine are
turning out more than hundred
weekly. The improvements which
have Of late years been made on the
original clumsy vclocipede have natu-
rally tended to increase its popularity
There is no %abbling and Gathering
as there used to be With the bygone
iron-tired wooden wheels, and the
machine Of today woul be perfectly
noiseless i'll its motion but for the lit
tie tinkling bell which is introduced
to indicate the appro acll Of the bicy-

Mr.. Eiiior:--I understand that
there is some talk Of the Agricultural

When I purchased stock in the AS
sociation I did aa-,i,ra nre;s.
sion that / would derive some benefit
or profit by the Investment. Let the
Association, then purchase some fine
stock for breeding purposes, put them
on our fair ground under the man
agemcnt of some good man, and with
The farm, which in itself would pay
expenses, and the stock holders would
derive some benefit from the stock
they have owned so long witho out
profit. A short horn bull, good
stock hog, and fino bred ram would
pay any farmer holding stock in the
Association at least thirty dollars pei
nnnun, while an income to consid
cradle amount, could be derived from
those who do not own shares, from,
use OF bloodcd animals belonging to
the Association, i'll few years the
exhibition Of fine stock in our county
could not be beat. Bring this matter
Mr. Editor, prominently before the
public, and let MS get rid Of the runts
and low grade Of stock that is now q
disgrace and expense to US ns
FARMERS.

Here and There In the State

An aged couple, Mr.. and Mrs. John
%. Peoples, live in Barnwcll. They
were born in Gloucester county, on
the James river, in Virginia. Mr.
Peoples is 12l years old and his wife
l23. This is the oldest living co uple
ill the United States. Mr.. Peoples is
q machinist by trade.
During a..storm in Barnwell coun-
ty, last week, the dwelling Of Mr.. S.
S. Turner, was stricken with light
ming, the bolt tearing the weather
boarding from one corner of the house
knocking off the plastering in Mr..
T.'s bed room, and striking post Of
the bedstcad on which his children
lay asleep.
The interchange Of courtcsics be-
tween Gov. Chamberlain and Gen.
Kershaw, las. week, must have been
exceedingly, and Gen. kershaw never
represented the popular sentiment
more correctly than when he said
that 'no one would give Gov. Cham
berlain a more cordial and hearty
support than lie, i'll his efforts to effect
reforms IN the administra ion of the
affairs Of the state government"
This is The feeling, undoubtedly, of
ninc-tcntlis OF the white citizens 0!

Leesville, in Lexington county, writes

Mr. Editor its a sad thing to go to
house and find parents not able to
read or write their own names, the
children growing up in ignorance,
never having been taught enough

parent-so plainly apparent that the
delegates who sustained him at ST..
Louis must have been blind either to
that which all intelligent men know
or to the interests Of their party. AS
it is, Boss Twecd's bosom friend, his
trusted lieutenant, the man who al
why's subscribed literally to his
campaign funds, and the man who,
when elected to be Governor Of New
York, was only prevented from
pardoning him by the greatest posi-
bic moral pressure, is before the
country, and his character and pnst
record thrown open to dissection
His alleged popularity is sheer bun
combc. Wcll.postcd residents and
active politicians at his own hone
declare most positively that he can
not carry his own county, while cyc,y
one who knows anything about his
last campaign knows TINT he descend
cd to the most contemplate trickery
to secure votes. Among other things
every chambcrmaid, porter and host
lcr i'll the State of New York was
supplied with ceprer-platc /1c-simi7cs
of personal letters to them from the
press Of his brothers, who are engag.
cd in the patcnt-medicine business.
This incident shows the low.cunninr
ofthc man, the mean side Of his char
acter, combined with which he pess-
csscs the most lofty aspirations, and
Il determination and force Of will
which, in the service of a good cause,
would give assurance of success. But
he is not a statesman, has never ron
dcrcd any service to his fellow-men
that should distinguish him above
others, and unlike General Hoyes,
his Republican competitor, lie has no
record which will draw about him
the sober elements of the country and
develop any earnest Of dcep-seated
enthusiasm.

The Democratic Nominees.

It will be hcralded to the world
now that tho Tammany ring has been
crushed by the ticket nominated at
st. Louis, and that canal thieves and
Kelley roughs have been put to
flight. This is the way the Demo
Gratis will speak Of the triumph Of
Tildcn. There arc some people
however, who will view the result Of
tho fight ut ST. Louis in n different
light; who will regard it rs q victory
for John Morrisscy, the pugilist aud
gambler, and his brother rowdy, Bill,
Mchlullcn, notoriously corrupt
alderman Of Philadelphia, and
others Of like kidney. Starting out
day or two before the convention
wish less than two hundred votes,
Tildcn, by The manipulation Of States,
from many Of which he cannot get an
electoral vote, managed to secure The
nomination Oh tho second ballot. All
descriptions Of the proceedings ofthe
convention and attendant crcum-
stances agree thnt disgraccful dis
order, wild confusion, incbrcty,
street fighting, bar-room brawls were
the leading incidents. Thus the great
reform ticket promised by the
Democracy for the Centennial year
was conceived in ,debauchery and
brought forth i'll corruption. It can
not be that such ticket will win the

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, MORNING.

Washington to take part in national solemnity
for commemorating one of the grandest facts
in the history Of humanity"
Last Thursday, in the House, directly
after action concerning the Centennial,
Mr.. New, of Indiana, offered a resolution
to the effect that the fraternal feeling and
general good will now existing in all sec
tions of the Union, and the manifest dis
position and purpose of the men that bat
tied against one another in the late civil
war to join hands in fraternally ushering
in the Centennial year, and while the peo-
pie of the whole country are making an
honest effort TO live together in peace and
uphold the same flag, their Representa-
tives in Congress should do no act to dis
turb the patriotic concord or wantonly re-
vive the memories of the past On this
Mr.. New demanded ths yeas and nays,
which demand was seconded by members
on both sides and the resolution unani-
mously adopted-yeas PAT, nays none.
In speaking for herself Russia spoke for
all foreign Governments and their good
will. We have resolved to "join hands
in fraternaly ushering in the Centennial
year" Shall this happy meeting of the
nations of the earth on our own soil be
baptized in distress for the want of few
pennies in comparison with what we could
easily give2
