STREET RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT.
The street car is a great civilizer as
well as great convenience. Iii man.
ners is sometimes displayed in it, but
it is rare thing to witness even this,
and incivllity is almost an utter
stranger to the "elegant coach of the
people," In fact the casual daily or
weekly meeting of the people in the
street cars has direct tendency to
the cultivation of civility and good
manners. Whiskey is permitted to be
carried in the shape of dimijohns only
when they are not so full as to be un-
steady or bubble over. But no intoxi-
Gated man is permitted to ride in the
street car anywhere SO far as we have
observed, and smoking is strictly for
hidden. These were not matters we
intended to mention but they are
material in the light of a car as a
civilizer. But the improvement now
suggested which we desired 10 speak
of is that proposed by Mr.. Kemble
for the lines of streets in Philadelphia
which are under his control. Mr..
Kemble proposes to introduce the
wire-rope system for power and to
abandon the use of horses.
With the aid of this system he ex-
poets to reduce the fare to five cents,
and to make such improvements in
the cars as will place them much fur
ther in advance of any mode of riding
that we now enjoy. The cars will be
easier, the trip quicker and closer to
time and there will be less waiting for
cars. The wire-rope will be an end
less one, passing from an engine in
one station to an engine in another ;
and any number Of cars may be put
on, as many as four together, without
increasing the cost. The system is
now in use in San Francisco, and ID
being introduced in Chicago, and if il
proves successful IN the latter city
during the winter, Mr.. Kemble pro,
poses to adopt it in Philadelphia. He
says with the use Of the wire-rope
which will be run under the ground
his street car company will be able tc
keep the track clear Of snew and t.
carry the snow from the streets at ;
rytrifing expense compared will
the present cost, which in winter lik'
last was an impossibilIty to do will
carts and horses. At present whel
there is rush of travel the roads ar,
put to great expense. To meet thi
many extra men, cars and horses ar,
to be kept when not needed. By lht
new system one conductor may onl,

THE Alexandria Gazette, speaking of
the disgraceful spectacle at Lynchburg,
says:-The fighting and squabbllng, and
open bribery and corruption at aud the
final split of the Republican convention
in Lynchburg, make disgraceful con-
trast TO the recent Democratic conven-
ton in Richmond. The $4,000 with
which the Mahoneites bought up the
negro delegates az SO much head, and
which they obtained from their friends
in Pennsylvania, show plainly enough
why Gen. Mahone, last winter, and his
agents, Rddleberger and company, since
the President was wounded, made pill
grimages to the home of the Camerous
in the Keystone State. Will the white
people of Virginia, Republicans as well
as Democrats, allow scalawag Demo-
crats,by the aid of negro votes purchased
in the open market by Senator Gamer
on's money, to take possession of their
State government? Not il they know
themselves, and they think they do.

The GOLD EXCITEMENT IN NEW
YoRK.-The Herald is rather discour-
aging in its reference to the gold dis
coveries in the State Of New York. 1t
says: Gin two days of the present
week claims were filed at Albany to
twenty alleged gold mines discovered
in this State. If prospectors continue
to be as industrious as these figures
indicate the merest schoolboy Can see
that within year the State will con-
tain three thousand six hundred and
fifty gold mines, for hunters alter
precious metals do not rests on Sun
days or holidays. These figures sug-
gest others. AT the most moderate
estimate, based on general experience
elsewhere, each mine should ruin at
least hundred of the people who pin
their faith on it. Some may be less
destructive, but, on the other hand,
some will be far more so. Taking a
hundred as the average, however, aud
assuming the steady discovery of new
mines at the rate OF ten per day, only
about three years will be required TO
bankrupt everybody in the Safe, il the
mining fever should operate here as it
does elsewhere"

worthy of Gen. Hancock

From the New York Freeman's journal.
We met last week lady of family
resident on Governors Island. She told
us that since July 2, when Gen. Gar
field was shot, Gen. Hancock had refns-
ed TO goto public dlnDels, Or on those
excursions of quiet kind he is very
fond of. We could imagine gallant old
Gen. Pike Graham, of the Grahams of
Virginia, making the point; but here
we have it from Gen. Hancock of Penn
sylvania. SIT is not proper that &C.
cept festive entertainments while the
President, ex-officio my commander-in-
chief, is lowering between life and death.
Who will say the age of chlvalry is pass
ed, when Major-General of the army
defeated by the lavish use of money in
New York, thus holds himself toward
the man that is President In place ol
himself?

Widower Belknap was President OF
the Cincinnati lodge Of Knights of the
Pyramid, and the Widow Porter was
Vice-P President. The society aimed at
social improvement, and under all these
circumstances it was natural that the
wldower and the widow should agree to
marry. Belknap is a dentist, and he
made the finest possible set of false teeth
for Mrs. Porter, SO that she might look
her best as bride. His daughter lent
her $500 worth of diamonds, to further
beautify her for the wedding. But
when she had been thus embellisbed.
she ran away with the teeth and Jewels,
and the police have not been able to find
her.

N Norlkazee Wakayama, the Japanese
commissioner who was sent here to
study American finances, seems to have
finished that branch of his education
with no little personal experience of our
financial workings. Since his return to
Japan he has been regularly transmit
ting funds for five years to have his
daughter educated here. He now claims
to have found out that this money was
misused. His fellow japs Will probably
have the laugh against him on his know
ledge OF American money matters. They
will tell him that they could have suffer.

without going all the way to America

FRIDAY. AUGUST IL, 1881.

The BICYCLE has been a source of
complaint in every community in
which it has been introduced in the
public streets. Horses have dread
OF it as of something supernatural,
and until they become accustomed to
its appearance have SHE'D and fright.
ened whenever the bicycle and it's
rider came within sight. There is
little wonder at this, for in the twi-
light or moonlight little or nothing
of the bicycle may be seen, and the
rider seems to be sailing along a few
feet above the earth, as much like
real ideal spirit as anything one can
well imagine. 1t is as noiseless as the
wind, of which it might well be
thought to be a rider. 1t would be
difficult for modern invention to get
up an instrument better calculated to
alarm ignorant men or unwary beasts
than the bicycle and it's rider. On
these accounts objection has been
made to its use in the cities and
in the public parks where it is
customary for the fashionable to
drive their families with spirited
horses and fine equipages. Objection
is also made to its use on the side walks
in our own city; from which it is pro-
posed to exclude the bicycle and its
rider by the City Council. And much
may be said in favor of some such ac.
tion for they are certainly very dan
gerous In the hands of Impractical
or nervous and unskillful riders. They
are almost noiseless and must be
driven with force and rapldity to pre-
serve equilibrium. Accidents nearly
always occur from the lack of observa-
tion on the part Of the approaching
objects so that if the rider happens
to be looking another way his instru-
ment may be dashed against one and
serious injury be the result. In fact
an accident of this kind has already
occurred to lady while walking to
her home on Delaware avenue, where
by she was greatly shocked and not a
little bruised by the bicycle. There is
quite as much reason for excluding the
bicycle from the sidewalk or requiring
the rider TO provide himself with a
small bell as there is for requiring a
bell to be placed upon some other
vehicles that are not SO noiseless as
the bicy Gle. The railway track forms
nice road for the bicycle and the
sidewalk sought at least 10 be avoided
as much as possible by its riders.
