Bicycles for lIesseneers.

st. Louis Post-D Dispatch.
About the happiest boy I have seen recently is
a messenger boy who has gained possession of a
bicyle and runs his errands on his machine. If
there is any class of human beings for whom the
bicycle is especially fitted, it is this hard, worked
force, whose locomotive muscles are in constant
activity, sometimes for whole days and half of
the night. From the envious way in which the
other boys eyed their fortunate companion twas
plain to be seen that only u lack of capital pre-
vented their following suit. The truth is, with
the saving Of time and car fare taken into con-
sideration, it is a question whether the introduce
ton Of bicycles for the use of the boys would not
be a good business move on the part of messen-
ger companies.

Fred. Douglass Thinks Cleveland Is Already
a Winged Duck.
Rochester IN. W Special.
Fred Douglass and wife arrived here to-day
from Washington, intending to visit relatives at
Honeoye Falls, in this county. In an interview
Mr.. Douglass said: II am more than satisfied
that Blaine has a sure thing. I read the papers
as you do and form my conclusions. This talk
about the Independents is of no Importance.
The fight will be, and even now is, between the
Democrats and Republicans. Sc far as Mr.
Cleveland is concerned, one may readily see how
lukewarm his support is. People feel that it is
not exactly the correct thing to have a President
who is not welcome in ones parlors. He is a
winged daek, so far as this campaign is con-
cerned. / have not seen Blaine since last August.
Then l had long talk with him. / guess he
feels all right nowadays. He is too bright a man
to make a hurra over his feelings
