AN AUTOMATIC HORSE.

Mr.. ]. II. Nolan, whose ingenuity aud
success as an inventor has already secured
him a high standing ! n the mechanical
world, has just invented a novel means Of
locomotion, which is in the form of an au-
tomato or self.propelling horse, the loco
motion being produced BY the weight of the
rider and the weight which IS carried. The
"horse" and its appliances are models of
mechanical simplicity, and any amount of
speed required can be secured, in fact can
be made to go a mile faster than the fastest
trotting horse of the day. Asmall HORSE"
capable of carrying a man ten or twelve
miles an hour, can be built at from fifteen
to twenty dollars; smaller ones, which can
be used by children for amusement and re.
creation, can be built at from three to five
dollars The "horse" can carry consider.
able weight IN addition to the rider. The
person sits in position as he would upon the
live animal, with the feet in stirrups and
reins in hands, in which position he can
govern the speed and guide the "horse"
at will. There was an exhibition made
with one of these "horses" recently, in a
hall in this city, and. although the room
was small and %unfavorable for either speed
or ease Of locomotisn. a boy weighing sixty
pounds propelled the " horse" at from six
to seven miles an hour with utmost ease.
The experiment thoroughly established the
practical value of the invention.-Boston
Traveller.

The bank Of England rate of discount
which now many months since was as low
as one per cent. has been steadily rising
until now it has reached five per cent. and
Is much more likely to go higher still than
to fall. The object Of this measure was to
check the enormous outflow of gold from
England to the Uaited States. The de.
mands upon the bank for American gold.
with which to meet payments in this coun.
try, were heavy and incessant, and as a
temporary check upon the homeward fight
OF the eagles, their price was increased.
This expedient is but q temporary check,
however, for still the eagles homeward fly
and will continue to do SO as long as the
