The Dandy Horse.

The use Of trIcyclos by the post.
mon OF England Is not new. In 1880
"improycd dandy horses" were given
10 poslmen IN rural districts and were
in use for several yc0rs, The construc-
ton OF the machine was exceedingly
imploi two small and equal sized stout
wooden wheels were litlod, one behind
the other, 10 stout bar Of wood; the
rear wheel was rigiiy liyelto pair Of
gtoul Iron forks while lh, front wheel
was lllol In u similar par Of forks,
which by q clumsy aud primitive Nr.
rangement, something Ike that Of q
balh.chair, could be dc ccted from side
TO side 80 as TO steer the machine. In
the middle OF the stout connecting bar
or "ba :kbone" was placed u narrow
cushioned scat, and In front OF II was
u raised and padded pommol orcushion,
on which the rider threw most Of his
weight Seating himself astlidc, tic
hobby graspod the steering handle
with both hands, and leaning his chest
upon the cushioned pommcl, stood
across the machine in n position much

he began TO run along tho ground,
placing his weight on the seat aud tho
pommel, aud with lrng'hy strides
progressing along the road, As soon
as the rider became proficient in tho
balance, as with the modern machine,
hc was able to "dy' down hill. with his
feet oil The ground and could on tho
level run for some distance with tho
added impetus of u sharp burst along
the road, The pace ~ compared with
walking or oDhcr unaidod modes Of
progression, was remarkable, and
doubtless many found the dandy horse

ton, and the terrible Jars which It's

communicated TO the system of the
rider soon cooled their enthusiasm, and

A iOck.Broker,s LILtlo Gnme.

Stockholders are sometimes men OF
considerable resource. IL Is said on
the Stock Exchange that one day last
month firm received " letter from o
country gentleman, one Of their GUS
toners, announcing that he was coming
up TO town that day, aud would call
upon them and take away parcel OF
valuable securities which were lying on
their hands, In the afternoon tho
customer arrived After the usual
greeting, said one partner 10 The other
"Blank, will you lend me your key Of
this safe, 10 get out this gentleman s
sccuritlesp ! broke mine yesterday"
al never had q key 10 that safo, ro-
piled the junior partner, "Ha Int youp

thoro Is nothing for Il but to send for a
couple Of smiths and have IL broken

customer inlerposed, The safe was u
great, massive affair, as allluent-looking
as The Bank Of England, "Don't have
Il broken OPEN" lac said, "You can
send mo the socu rites; | dare say they
will travel quite safely"
The partners thanked the considerate
gentleman, aud the subject dropped.
Before he left the Office tho senior part
ner invited his customer TO dine with
him at his club that evening. The In.
vitation was accepted and In the course
Of the meal the guest said "Now YOU

SAYS the New York Herald: Trade
is dull, ''and nothing is doing" is the
universal Cry in this great city. kind
of echo to the reports that come from
the mills throughout the country
whose doors are shut, whose
looms are idle, whose fur
naces are banked. Men who see the
lower part of the city barricaded and
blockaded, crowded with carts and
wagons and drays of every sort,
should look beyond if they care to
know the precise status of business in
New York City. The universal an
swer made to questions concerning the
condition of commerce here is as
above, nothing is doing"
