THE BICYCLE.-Hd,pers Maguzine for
July devOtes several pages to the bicycle.
1t says it unquestionably bids fair to
become as important q factor for enlarging
the scope of personal travel, as the rail-
road has become for the rapid collective
circulation.
1t is really a marvel of strength and
lightness, of ingenuity and invention.
1t is most admirably adapted for business
purposes. The village doctor has in
numerous cases found it to be the safest.
and most convenient means for visiting
his daily round of patients.
Ip England it is largely used by clergy
men for making their rounds of pastoral
visits; while the numerous class of COM
mercial travellers have found it most
useful appliance in the dispatch of their
business.
There are more than 1000 manufactur.
ers of bicycles in England, producing
over 300 different varieties. The League
of American Wheelmen formed in 1886
has already membership of 1900.

set the fashions in gentlemen's jewelry are
turning for inspiration to our grandfather's
days. What the young ladies would call
the last sweet thing" for gentleman is
the old fob-chain revived. Stylish gentle
men now wear these hanging from the
pocket with dangling seal or jewel as
was the mode long ago. Bailey, Banks &
Biddle, of Philadelphia, have reproduced
some of the old patterns of 75 or 100 years
ago. The Parisian swells during the
Directory wore two watches, each with a
fob chain hanging from it, and watches
are now so cheap that perhaps our young
fashionables may take fancy to beat
that.

As for David Swan he slept quietly,
neither conscious of the shadow of death
when it hung over him, nor of the glow
of renewed life when that shadow was
withdrawn.
He slept, but no longer quietly as at
first. An hours repose had snatched from
his elastic frame the WEAKNESS with which
many hours of toll had burdened it. Now
ne stirred, now moved his lips without
sound, now talked in an inward tone to
the noon day spectress of his dream. But
noise of wheels came rattling louder
and louder along the road until it dashed
through the dispensing mist of David's
slumbers, and there was the stage-coach.
He started up with all his ideas about him.
Hello, driver Take q passenger ?'
shouted he.
Up mounted David, and bowled away
merrily toward Boston, without so much
as parting glance at that fountain of
dreamlike vicissitudes. He knew not that
phantom of wealth had thrown a golden
hue upon its waters, not that one of love
had sighed softly to their murmur nor
that one of death had threatened to Grim
son him with his blood; all in the briei
hour since he lay down to sleep.

airy footsteps of the strange things that

THE sky is clouded, the rocks are bare;
The spray of the tempest is white in air;
The winds are cut with the sea at play
And shall not tempt the sea to-day.
The trail is narrow, the woods are dim.
The panther clings to the arching limb,
And the lions whelps are abroad at play,
And shall not join in the chase to-day.
But the ship sailed safely over the sea,
And the hunters came from the chase in glcc
And the town that was builded upon rock
Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

THE CAPRICIOUs MISSISSIPPI

Major Benyaurd, OF the Z. S. Engi-
neer Corps, confirms in q letter the
oft repeated assertion that there is
serious danger that the Mississippi
will gradually turn its waters towards
the Channel of the Atchafalaya,
which has already become the re-
ceptacle of those of the Red River,
not a drop of which now enters the
Mississippi.
The injury is incalculable that
would be inflicted on the two hun
dred and seventy miles Of coast lying
between the mouth of Red River and
the Balize.
1t is to New Orleans, however, that
the greatest damage would be done,
Us under all probability her port
would suddenly be closed at the pass
es, the jetties becoming a useless
work and their cost of millions to-
tai loss to the Government.
The calamity may yet be averted
by prompt action before the great
river begins to rise.
1t behooves, therefore, our State
authorities and representatives in
Congress to take the necessary steps
to call the attention of the general
Government TO the impending dan
ger. Ere Congressional action can
be had, it may become too late to ar
rest the giant whose unaccountable
freaks have brought about the most
unexpected changes.

SURELY A MISTAKE.

The following paragraph in the N.
O. Times, of the 25th inst, is of 80
startling character and does Col.
Columbus Allen, very dear friend
and chivalrous gentleman, so great
an injustice that we take it upon our
self to deny its correctness. In this
we are sustained by an extract from
the Picayune bearing upon the same
matter. That Col. Allen, than whom
a more spublic-spirited citizen New
Orleans does not possess. should have
sought to obtain that one of the new
Anchor Line Steamers should be
named after New Orleans, we readily
understand. But we feel certain that
while dong SO he never would have
thought of asking that the steamer
which it has been determined shall
be named "City OF Baton Rouge
should instead be named "City of
New OrleaDs;"thu dcpriying the Cap
tol of Louisiana of the honor to be
conferred on her by Captain Scudder.
In fact Baton Rouge has already Or
dered a set of colors for the new boat.
The Times is also in error ID saying
that the new boat was to be named
either CATER Mayor Jastremski or
Baton Rouge as that officials name
was never mentioned III that con-
nection that we know of:
M. Columbus Allen called on the
mayor yesterday morning. He said
that a short time ago while in st.
Louis he happened to hear that the
fine, new boat of the Anchor Line,
which will soon be launched to run
between st. Louis and this city,
would be named after either Mayor
Jastremski or Baton Rouge. Mr.. AL
lien prevailed on Captain John Scud-
der, president of the Anchor Line, to
name the boat the "City of New Or
leans" The mayor and administrators
we're very much gratifed at this ac-
ton of the captain, and the mayor
has written to Captain Scudder thank
ing him and his company for the
honor done the city.-N. o. Times.
Nh. Columbus H. Allen visited the
City Hall yesterday, and informed the
Mayor that while in st. Louis recently
hehad suggested to some of the gentle
men interested in the Anchor Line
that they should name one of theu
new steamers the City ofNew Orleans
and that tn suggestion had been
adopted. He conveyed this informa
ton to the Mayor. The Council will
take appropriate action in recognition
Of this compliment to the city.--N.
