THE BICYCLE.

means of locomotion. 1t is no longer mere
toy, but is coming into practical use, so much
so that on recent occasion procession of
2300 bicycles, each surmounted by its rider,
marched in stately procession in England.
With us there is prejudice that is not yet
overcome. The bicycle has the misfortune
to be less old than the buggy, and in New
York and Chicago the solemn authorities
have excluded them from the parks. To
persons of sedentary habits the exercise and
the open air indispensable to the bicycle are
proving of great value in preserving robust
ness and keeping off nervous arrangements.
In Great Britain express messengers, hack
men and many others, are using them regu-
lsrly. Country physicians and clergy find
them very useful in visiting about their
neighborhoods. They obtain the necessary
speed, and when they make stops there is no
care or trouble about the horse. Trips in
the country at vacation time taken on the
bicycle are very much enjoyed, as they give
opportunity of visiting pleasant or remark
able scenes at small expense. Many expect
that before long electricity will give means
of propelling the bicycle at small cost and
without labor. Should that be accomplished
the bicycle will be seen oftener than the
buggy.

SANITARY MATTERS.

The ravages of the yellow-fever on the
Rio Grande are evidently of a serious char
acter. As we have no direct communicated
with that quarter we are free from alarm. Il
is not the mere distance, however, that savei
us from alarm as much as it is the care that
has been taken to put Memphis on the way
to sound sanitary condition. What has
been done to improve the health of Memphis
saves from anxiety and from that fear that
persons of nervous organization are exposed
to when even shadows affect them. The re.
suits of fear have the worst possible effect
upon the human system by reducing bodily
vigor and prostrating the mental power, so
that no resisting force is left against disease.
This fact shows us that sanitary precautions
not only remove the dread of threatened evil,
but by the degree of confidence they inspire
brace the people up and take away dread.
Experience has brought caution, and we
think we may rely upon it that on the Rio
Grande physicians and local authorities will
insist on every precaution being taken
against the spread of disease. 1t will be
very well for US, however, if what is occur
tl5cWnSfc snOu1u dIOubS our
and induce us in our personal habits and
about our premises to do away with any
thing that is injurious to health. At New
Orleans the Board of Health has been SO
severely criticised, and so strongly made
aware of the unfortunate reputation it has
made for itself throughout the lower Missis-
sippi country, that no doubt can be had of
every effort being made on their part to
avert the visitation of epidemic. The eye of
the public Is turned upon their proceedings,
and that scrutiny cannot be without effect.
We have confidence that with ecrupulous
perseverance, they will discharge their duty
and save human health, even though the
money -chest may have to suffer in conse-
quence. Our own Board of Heath is watch
full, and insists On strictness in carry
ing cut the quarantine regulations.
Our city has been remarkably healthy OF
late. The mortality of white residents has
been very small; the negroes have been less
fortunate, for they will indulge in imprudent
habits, and especially in eating fruits and
often n condition unfit for food
at this season, but even among them for
weeks past the mortality has been light.

The increase of the American iron trade
last year was hey ond all precedent. The
year 1881 was the most prosperous our iron
trade has ever experienced. We made 346,-
900 more tons of pig-iron than in the pre-
vious year, ZOO, 900 more tons of rolled iron
and nails-not including rails-and 100000
tons more bessemer bars. Importations are
rapidly falling off, which indicates our in
creasing capacity to supply our own wants.
We export principally TO countries on the
American continent, mostly to Canada. Aus
tralia is liberal customer, England coming
next. This last fact will be considered
curious, but it is true. England gets her
best axes, locks and scissors in this country.
In 1881 we exported lO4 locomotives, larger
number than any preceding year. In pig
iron the greatest percentage of increase was
in Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia
and the Northwest. Tennessee, 70,S73 in
1880, 86,406 in 1881. The total output
for the year in the Southern district was
316,602 net tons. Our increase In bessemer
product over the preceding year was 1885,
745 gross tons; Great Britain's, 3S3, $50;
excess in our favor, 51,744 tons. The United
States leads the world in capacity, product
and quality of bessemer rails. The open
hesrthworks of the Roane Iron Company,
Chattanooga, Tenn, is one of the largest
in the country. OF 2,643,927 net tons of
rolled iron, including rails, Tennessee made
IS, 793 tons, Virginia 1000 tons, Alabama
1000 tons. Pennsylvania produced 1,254,-
500 tons, nearly half the total output. We
made of cut nails in 1881, 1884, FOG kegs of
100 pounds each. Virginia made 1886
and Tennessee 94.495 kegs.

The sleeping Beauty of the Senate.

A funny scene, according to a correspond
ent of the Chicago Times, took place in the
Senate on the day when Mr.. Voorhees, made
his alleged great speech on the tariff ques-
ton. He had few attentive listeners, but
Senators Morgan and Call showed their ap-
probation OF Mr.. Voorhees, remarks by sue
cumbing 10 the heat, under the monotonous
sound of his ringing voice, by going TO sleep.
Mr.. Call was two seats to the right OF Mr..
Voorhees,. His head slipped away over the
back of his seat, until it looked at the gall
leries in reversed position, presenting the
most horrible appearance of suffering and
pain. Mr.. VOORHEES, seemed very much dis
tressed al Mr.. Calls indifference. He raised
his voice, gesticulated and stamped, but Call
slept on. The senators got to laughing,
and this woke up Mr.. Morgan, who in
stantly assumed an air of intense thought,
as If he had been in a sort of dream
on tariff probabilities. But Mr.. Call
proved impervious 10 Mr.. Voorhees, elo-
quence. At one time Mr.. voorhees, adopted
a very ingenious move to wake Mr.. Call.
He clapped his hands for page, and elappsd
them so loudly that every one was startled
except Mr.. Call. He made so much noise
that be disturbed the sleeper. Mr.. Call
shifted his position, slid into his chair, and
crossed his hands in front of him as If he
we're Just laid ont. As an observer said, at
looked as If it were = eulogy day and the
corpse were present" Mr.. Call slept peace
fully throughout Mr.. Voorhees, address, and
his afternoons work was unanimously voted
TO have been one of the most successful of
his public career.

it over and came to the conclusion that he
was right. So Mile. Bonfanti became Mrs.
Hoffman forthwith The hue and cry raised
by the Hoffmans was 20 violent that the
young man could not stand it, and took his
wife to Europe. His family allowed him
little or no money, and he, having been very
unpraetically educated, could find no means
OF support. He was delicate, and he
fell ill and died. Then Bonfanti, or
Mrs. Hoffman, came to New York to claim
her rights as the wife of the son and
heir of the Hoffman,, but they be-
haved in a way that wounded her pride-for
ballet dancers as we'll as Hoffmans have pride
and she declined to accept any aid from
them whatever. GAS long as have nv feet
to dance WITH" che said, 81 can take care of
myself, and 1 want none of their money!" So
she went back to the ballet, and has been
dancing ever since. i couldn't help thinking
as looked at her the other night that scions
OF proud New York families had often made
worse matches. She had a good and still
handsome face, and she dances az gracefully
as ever. She is modest even when pointing
at the footlights with one toe and at the
chandelier with the other. Bonfanti is not
one OF the grinning dancers. Her face wears
rather sad expression, and she only smiles
In acknowledgment of the applause of the
audience. The competition with Lepri makes
her do her best, and it is regular dancing
match every night. Lepri is the lighter of
the two, but she has not the grace nor the
ease of Bonfanti

EGYPT AND THE EUROPEAN

The want of united councils among the
governments OF Europe upon the subject Of
Egypt are now approaching toward direct
antagonism, the result of which who can
foresee? The APPEAL has more than once
called attention to the fact that the silence
of Russia, a country deeply interested in
what concerns Turkey, was portentous.
Events are confirming our anticipations.
Russia withdrew its representative from the
conference temporarily few days ago, then
announced that il would participate in the
proceedings only az iar as the ssts ow s., I'D
that the car himself is the author of the
policy thus initiated. 1t does not suit him
1hst England should act independently or
entertain the design, if certain circum-
they may be-should
arise, of undertaking the task of restoring
order in Egypt. In Berlin the assertion is
made by "high authorities" that Rus
ala will not be contented with pas
sively opposing England's proceedings,
hut will assume a distinctly hos
lille attitude toward that power. This
statement requires confirmation, of course,
but it shows the way many persons in
Europe regard the present attitude of things.
Germany has from the first assumed a silent,
Observant attitude, and it mas been all along
understood that Austria was acting in accord
with it. The refusal OF Italy TO cooperate
with England in putting Arab down is con-
eidered to be indicative of what the senti-
ment of those Two governments is; if so the
indication is omincus. Had any other ma
zion than England acted with the action that
country has shown, that country would, evil
IDENTIFY, equally have excited opposition.
Egypt is viewed as a possible prey, and each
one of the governments would like to seize it;
any one of them, therefore, that assumes az
active attitude excites the jealousy of the
rest, and the consequences may possibly be
very serious The best grounds for hope that
amicable feeling may obtain the preponder-
ance lie in the GOODNESS and peace
able disposition of Mr.. Gladstone. His ecua-
nimity and considerateness may allsy existing
jealousies and bring about better state of
things. The attitude OF the English press is
provocative, but that may be the mere ebu-

lition of momentary excitement Inc
Turks, it is evident, are disposed to do all
they can to add fuel TO the flame. With
crafty subtility the Porte watches all that
goes on and adopts his policy to changing
events. 1t refuses TO declare Arab rebel
until he resisis Turkish troops sent to
Egypt, but whether sent in concealed favor
Of Arab, or against him, remains to be
seen. When the commander of the British
naval forces now before Egypt called upon
the governor of Pott Said to declare himself
on one side or the other, he referred the ad-
miral to the sultan, his master. The sultan,
since the time he htnored Arab with deco
ration, has made no declaration against
him, and his official at Port Said is careful
to observe the same policy. The Turks are
embarking troops TO be sent TO Egypt, and
when they arrive there we may look for in
teresting developments. The feeling in
England and among the liberals OF other
countries, France especially, is against Tur-
key being allowed to resume or conquer a
return of its former power over Egypt. The
allies, however, have not only ac-
EnOWleOgeQ the buitane 6uZeralDly,
but have invited his direct inter-
ference in Egypt. Under these cir
cumstances Turkey occupies the first
place; it is the suzerain power. The posi-
bility of Turkey occupying that prominent
position excites hot anger among the English
which but expresses the national
sentiment at the present conjuncture. The
London Times goes to the length of claiming
that when Turkish troops reach Egypt they
must not be allowed to act as an ally, but be
held subordinate to England. When En-
gland has appealed to Turkey to send troops
as the dominant authority, such claim is
manifestly absurd. Other English journals
90 even beyond this, but their expressions
are entirely the result of excitement. TAX
ing the circumstances as they appear, Europe
is evidently standing in the face OF very
grave contingencies which forbearance and |
prudence can alone prevent from becoming |
calamitoss. We expect the question next |
asked will be: "What will Bismarck do~
That man will probably play an important
part in pending events.

MARRIED TO A NEGRO.
The Strange Infatuatton OF Prepos.
sessfng Young White Woman.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

A good deal of excitement was caused re-
Gently in certain social circles by the news of
the arrest of a handsome young white
woman, not more than twenty years of age,
on charge of bigamy, her second husband
being big, burly negro, as black as night,
and one of the most ignorant of his class.
The charge was made by the woman's
mother. About two years ago Anna Sci
bert was wooed and won by a well-to-do
mechanic, named Morgan, of this city.
Some few months since Morgan moved to
Pottsville, taking his wife with him. The
latter used to come here frequently to see
her mother, and during these visits
she met and fell desperately in love
with the negro, who was a common
laborer in the employ of tar-roofer. The
darky's name is Sam Taylor. He knew that
the woman was married, but on the Sd of
July he induced her to go before colored
Methodist preacher in this city named Evans,
who married them. 1t is believed that
Evans was not aware of the previous mar
riage of the woman. When the matter came
to the mothers knowledge she pleaded with
her daughter to leave her second husband
do this promptly the mother had her ar
rested upon the charge of bigamy. She was
taken before Magistrate Bulkley, but before
any proceedings were had she repented and
agreed to leave the negro and go home with
her mother. The mother ia nearly distract
the friends OF the daughter, some swearing
vengeance upon the negro for marrying her.
The girl is young, pretty and Intelligent, and
it is said that she will go back TO her colored
husband at the first opportunity.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Congressman Robeson's chances for again
representing the First New Jersey district IL
Congress are at least shaky.
In the event of Governor Cornelps re-
election it will be safe to count Mr.. Arthur
as practically out of the question for the
presidential uccessiou.-Brooklyn Eagle.
1t isn't worth while to talk about the
high price of things when Senator Cameron
can buy the Senate of the United States with
few bottles of Philadelphia
Times.
The Indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.) doubts
eff at any period in the history of the Demo-
cratic party of Indiana there has been a
more pronounced demand for cool judgment
than at present"
Mr.. Keifer tells a reporter that he regrets
to be in the field again." The statement
probably grew out of Mr.. Keifer's desire to
be in accord with the sentiment of the coun-
try at least once.-Denuer Tribune.
There is nothing left of the old Republican
party but a combination of corrupt managers
to hold power by force and by fraud, to use
the treasury and the public patronage as
means of rewarding their followers. They
have no creed, no principles, no convictions
and no aspirations. They treat the country
as a great rotten borough, where votes are
to be bought with the peoples money and
successful jobbery is esteemed public vir-
tue.-Bdn9or Independent
We can hardly believe that the Democracy
of Texas will become violently enthusiastic
over the nomination of Ireland. 1t being
the best they can do, they will accept him,
but some such man as Hancock, Reagan,
Devine, McLeary or Throckmorton would
have been received with enthusiasm, whereas
Ireland will be received with chilling
apathy. The situation reminds us of the
story of father in church, who, when the
clergyman asked, "Who giveth this woman
to be married to this MANI" replied, swell,
sir, am called to do it, although it goes
sgin the grain. I wanted her to marry Bill
Blouser, who has got twice the sense of this
man."-Ieras SJtings.
There is a growing popular impression
that the Republicans will find evidences of
popular reaction when the congressional
elections are held. This feeling finds ex-
preston in the newspapers and is voiced by
far-sighted politicians. Certainly the best
Republican leaders at Washington see and
bewail the mistakes of this session OF Con-
gress. The veteran Ex-Minister Washburne
has been interviewed by the Chicago Times,
and looking at the situation as an outsider,
he says: 81 fear that the Republicans will
lose many members in Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio, and perhaps in other North
ern and Western States, and the great ques-
ton is whether there can be Republican
gains enough made in the Snuth to ofSst tho
losses IN the Northern and Western States"
Mr.. Washburne has grounds for INDUCING
the hope of Republican gains at the South,
but while some Republican members will
undoubtedly be returned from that section,
which has been cultivated with patronage
administered by Chandler, the party could
not afford an even swap of Northern dis
tricts for Southern ones. There would be an
obvious moral loss.-Springfeld Republican.

Change I'm PATHS style of Acting.
Pail Mall Gazette


Nine. PATHS impersonation of "Margher-
its," given for the fret time this season, is
extremely interesting, showing as il does the
transition that is gradually taking place in
this Isdy's style of acting. She is casting of
more and more the coquetries of manner
that have so large a share in making her
"Rosina" and "Zerlina" famous throughout
the civilized world, and is assuming with
ever-increasing earnestuess larger and
grander manner of actins-that manner, in
deed, which was conspicuous in her "Semi-
raride." and which appeared occasionally in
her "Dinorah" and "Caterina." To this same
manner was due whatever of success was
achieved by "Velleda," and the artists own
preference of her newer and higher style had
in all probability good deal TO do with the
production of that work. In Gounod's opera,
however, the two styles are most advant-
sgeously seen in iuxtaposition. The "Mar-
garet" who declines to take Faust's arm, and
whose heart is won by the jewels, is the Patti
of the "Barbiere," but from the "Jewel
Song" to the end no trace of the old manner
is perceptible, and the scene in the church
and in the prison are given with a tragic
force and intensity that have rarely been
equaled.
