a REMARKABLE FUSERAL.-O One of
the most remarkable funerals ever seen
anywhere was that of the student who
was shot in Wurzburg, Bavaria, by an
officer of the city guard. He was arrest
ed while on lark, and, attempting to
run from his captors, was deliberately
shot in the back at close quarters. Great
public commotion followed, the general
aversion of the German people to the in
science of the military being stimulated
by this act to the highest pitch. a mass
meeting was called, at which Il petition
and address to the government were
adopted, demanding the servercst punish
ment for tho frivolous and brutal assas-
sination." The funeral was attended by
nearly thousand students and by the
entire faculty of the university. The
body had been lying in state in the hos
pitai during the day. and as darkness set
in it was borne forth with funeral music,
followed by the long procession of stu
donts bearing torches and flags draped
in mourning. 1t was carried slowly
through the main streets of the city to
the railway depot where special train
was waiting to convey it to tho home of
| the young mans parents. The return of
the procession WAS through the streets
along which the student had taken his
way on the fatal night. Opposite the
main garrison TO which the officer who
had shot the student belonged tho pro.
cession came to halt and formed n
hollow square. in the middle Of which
the standard bearers with their draped
flags stationed themselves. Then while
the Pickering torches cast fantastic shad-
ows over the plaza, the "Gaudeamus"
was sung. With the last words of this
student song all hurled their torches
simultaneously to the ground, and in
darkness and silence the multitude dis
perscd. The report having spread that
the commander of the garrison to which
the guilty officer belonged had expressed
his approval of the murder he received
challenges to duels from half dozen
students.

SAVING AND SrENDING.-It is not
true that the great victories ur life are to
The sharp and immoral man, us rule
Here and there, by sharpness and cum
ming, men rise into wealth, but tha.
wealth is not of kind to remain. 1t
takes ~ certain amount Of virtue, of self
denial, of morality To lay up aud keep
money. In the lives Of nearly all rich
men there have been periods Of heroic
sclf-deuial of patient industry, of Chris
tian prudence. Circumstances did not
make these men rich. The highest moral
prudence made them rich. While their
companions were dancing away their
youth, or drinking away their middle age,
these men wero devoted to small econo.
mise-putting self indulgence entirely
aside. If our correspondent or our
readers will recall their companions, We
think the first fact they will be impress.
ed with is the measure Of equality with
which they started in the race for com
potency or wealth.
The next fact they will be impressed
with is the irregularity OF the end. Then
if they make an inquisition into tho
causes of the widely varying results, they
will be profoundly impressed with the
insignificant part circumstances" have
played in those results. Circumstances?
Why, the rich mans son who had oil the
circumstances OF the town mas become
n beggar. The poor, quiet lad, the only
son of his mother, and she widow,
who could only earn money enough to
procure for her boy the commonest ed.
ucatiun, is n man of wealth and has be.
come patron of his native village. The
man who possesses and practices virtue
makes his own circumstances The self.
denying, prudent man creates around
himself an atmosphere Of safety whcro
wealth naturally takes refugo-proyidcd,
of course, that the man has the power to
earn it, either in production or exchange
of any kind OF manual or Intellectual
service.-iScr;6Rer.

A RIVAL TO TIE BICYCLE. The
newspaper carrier who serves papers to
attendants in the permanent exhibition
building goes his rour,ls at the rate Of
| twelve miles an hour. lie travels on
machines not unlitc -rller-katcs, which
are called pcd".notors, according TO the
inventor, j. Ii. IIobb, an architect on
Walnut street above Fifth. The day is
not far distant, predict. the Philadclphia
Rccord when the whole city will br on
wheels, when pedestrian, viii be sIin-
ming through the streets at the rate of
ten miles an hour, without more effort
than il now put forth in perambulaiing
half that distance.
The pcdomotor cons.''s Of four tough,
light woodcif0maecle, supplied will an
| outer rim Of tough India rubber. These
wheels are secured 10 a frame tie shape
of the foot, whicli is strapped 70 hepcdaI
cXtrcInitic, in The usual manner. Tn.
like roller--ka,es, the wheels Of these lii.
tie vehicles are not under, bnt are placed
on each side Of tie foot, thus giving
the wearcr- 4 good standing, Il, well a,
Il solid iyoting The rear wheels are
three inches in diameter, While those in
fr"Dt are but.wo and a iIa.finches. This
gives the foot a slight incline, and when

the pedestrian forward Extending from
the toe, with slight curl toward the

cular effort Mr. Hobbs explains the
mystery Of the rapid movement n thi.
manner: a man whose stride j, thirty.
two inches will traverse .Drty.cight
inches, or one half further, with the pc.
domotor. This is | cause the body is in
constant motion. For INSTANCE, says lie,
the traveller starts, and while he raises
one foot To step, he continues rapidly
onward until that foot is set dos nnd
the other raised to make another step.
This gives him more momentum, aud
a"ny lie goes over the two mile, in the
same time To accomplish milo with the
feet. No effort of the body is required
for their use, ns in skates. Tho traveller
simply puts one foot before the other,
and finds himself whizzcd along ut

LLOYD MITCHELL OF OH TIMES
Some months ago Mrs. Sallie Lamar, of
Augusta, the widow of { ,lnnel Thomas
G. Lamar, lent us her scrap book of the
war; and in it, among other pleasing
"reminiscences, we find the following.
All our elderly and middle.aged people
remember Lloyd:
During the heaviest OF tine firing from
Fort Sumter, as Colonel Lamar was
looking hastily around upon some of the
batteries, he approached soldier sta
toned by a gun not pointed towards the
fort hut iocatedfor other purpose. Know
ing the man, who was originally from
Edgefield, he said to him, 'Hello there
Lloyd, what in the thunder are you do
ing by that gun in the midst of this Ere.
lump into your rat hole. man, quick" !"
jnt Lloyd remained inimovable, and
looking askance at tho excavation thus
recommended to his attention slowly re-
piled Not now, Colonel; the thing
misnt cave in, and then you see, some
dsy after the battle, they would may be
dig me up, and they would be sure to
say 'Weil, here's Lloyd Mitchell, he run
away and buried himself for fear of An
dersons No, Stree they put me by
this here gun; and mean 20 stay right

that Isoyd's behavior should not 70, un-
