A means of propelling and lighting
tricycles by electricity has been de-
yised. This is accomplished by means
of a Faure system of accumulators.
The electro-motors need not weigh
more than one hundred and fifty
pounds, as was demonstrated at a re-
cent exhibition in London. An eY-
change gravely remarks that this in
vention promises a complete revolu
tion in our methods of locomotion. 1t
seems as if any considerable locomo-
ton would require several complete
revolutions of one kind or another.
Harvard College,
At recent meeting of the Overseers
of Harvard College, discussion was
held upon resolution which had been
before the board for several weeks,
that in the opinion of this board, the
statutes making attendance on morn

cises compulsory should be repealed
The board, by a strong vote, refused
to adopt the resolution. But Mr..

The organization of the Florida

of the project, Notwithstanding that
among the incprporators are Messrs.
Malone, General Butler, Governor
Cameron of Virginia, Simon Cameron

A women who has raised large
number OF hens says that after vainly
trying the recommended remedies
for lice, she has hit upon the plan OF
giving them once or twice week a
large loaf made Of Graham flour, in
which handful Of sulphur has been
mixed. Tie hens like it, aud are
freed from lice and kept healthy
through the season. That is certainly
the easiest plan we have yet seen
suggested. AS such, it is worth a
trial.

Setting Even on an ihrSpAner.

The wrapping paper and paper bag
factory of Wellhouse & Sons, Atlanta,
Ca, is n ofthe largest manufacture
ing enterprises of its kind in the
South. The establishment occupies
four numbers on Prior street in At
lanta-Nos. go, II, 70 and IS. In
addition to this business, they have a
large printing establishment and u
nine cylinder presses, and perform
work equal In quality and execution to
any house in the country. Mr.. Louis
Wellhouse, of the firm, is now in this
city soliciting orders both for wrapping
paper and for printing. Not being able
to compete fairly with a firm owning
its own machinery and doing its
own work, it is currently reported
that Mr.. Louis Herzog, Of Charles
Herzog & Bro, this city, on yesterday
caused Mr.. Wellhouse to be arrested
on the usual frivolous charge
of running and drumming without a
license. OF course a solid concern
like that of Wellhouse & Sons care
little for such trivial ~annoyances and
evidences Of spite, and the arrested
party readily arranged matters in a
perfectly satisfactory way to the au-
thorities. The agent and member of
the firm, Mr.. Louis Wellhouse, is
again circulating to-day, and soliciting
orders for his house, a legitimate and
worthy concern, well deserving of
patronage and capable Of supplying
any quality of goods Of the very best
quality at rates as low as any com
petitor can offer, and guar
anteed to give satisfaction in all
cases. The j%olliest feature of the
entertainment alluded 10 above came
off as a sort of finale after the grand
show yesterday. When Mr.. Well
house had arranged his business with
the authorities, he walked down to
the store of Herzog, sought the petite
hop-O' .my-thumb "Looey," and greet
ed his hyena-like smile with a piece of
his mind. The wretched fellow lis
tened to Interpretations heaped upon
him, and crouched into a corner, as if
he feared another covhide castigation,
then, when Mr.. Wellhouse had left, a
squad of the latter's friends gathered
about, commended him for what he had
done, and set up three bottles in honor
Of the event.

The. Manifest Destiny Of Eng.
land.
New York Herald

ENW-LbAh AANAula
The Khediye Of Egypt, yesterday,
yielded to the threats of his soldiery
and restored Arab Bey to his rank as
Minister of War. England and France
must therefore intervene. They have
reached a common accord just in the
nick OF time their squadrOns are at
this moment in Egyptian waters; they
have aroused the Sultan to the neces-
sity Of immediate action, and they can
land Turkish troops at Alexandria to
do their instant bidding.
Thus is England working out her
manifest destiny. Thus, as it were,
by the blindest chance, is she gaining
possession OF the long sought key to
India. In hours, which seem to her
dark and forlorn, her good fortune has
always asserted itself. 1t was so at
Waterloo, when accident gave her the
greatest conquest, the greatest prize,
that she had won for centuries. II
was so in the early days of the East
India Company, when Duplex and the
French bad prepared the way for
her arms, and the Portuguese had
prepared the way for her commerce,
and Robert Give, by dint of luck,
shatteS the power Of the Moguls and
brought rajahs and princes to his feet.
1t was 50 at Cyprus, without the loss
of a drop Of British blood. 1t has been
SO in every quarter of the globe, from
the islands of the West Indies to the
islands of the far East. English
statesmen have meddled and muddled;
they have sought their private ends
and gratifed their personal ambi-
tions; they have in these later
years FILTERED away the power oftheir
country in Afghan mountains and in
Zulu kraals; their domestic govern
ment has been made a byword; the
grievances of their Irish subjects have
drawn the sympathy of the world; and
yet the star of England has saved her
just at the moment when she despaired
of safety. In spite of herself her
destiny is being ACCOMPLISHED,

Claimants for More Benefits in
the Selma Railway
Speculation.

Two or three years ago, a syndicate
here formed a pool aud purchased the
Memphis and Selma railway for S1O,-
900. The sale did not stick, because
some me advanced the bid slightly,
and later on it was resold, the same
pool buying in the concern at a slight
advance on their first purchase. A
goodly number of persons were inter
ested in the transaction, and when
they sold out, there were these
who, on an investment of S1400 or
thereabouts, drew out more than
Sl6,0 900 in cash. Several connected
with the affair, who, previous to the
sale, had been in severe 6nan-
cial straits, we're suddenly quite
flush, but they never told exactly how
much they had gained in their deal.
The original purchase was made by
order of the courts, and the purchasers
either held or represented some 80 per
cent Of the bondholders of the COM
pany. These latter sold out 20 the
Wolfe Erlanger syndicate in July
last. A few days ago a suit was en-.
tered here in the. Chancery Court,
wherein G. G. Graham and G. W..
McOrae are plaintiffs, and Fred
Wolfe, j. j. Busby, j. @. Grihing,
and VIM. NJ. Forrest defendants. The
claimants assert that Busby, acting in
the interest of the others, transferred

be able to show they have acted fairly
and that the litigants received a round
sum in profits for a small outlay.
