What Can Be Done on a Bicycle.

After the races Canary came on the
track, radiant in maroon velvet
jacket and lavender tights. He show
edsome wonderful things that may be
done with a bicycle. Before he got
through with his exhibition, no one
would have been surprised if he had
thrown aside the wheel and ridden
around on the air where it had been.
His best feats were: Riding with small
wheel off ground. Backing with small
wheel of ground. Swinging in small
circle on The big wheel only. Facing
backward and riding forward Stand
ing up on saddle. Sitting on saddle,
the machine being still, and balanced.
Machine upside down, mount the big
wheel, turn the small one over into
place, and start off. Removing the
small wheel, ride the large one back
ward or forward. Lay handle bar on
the ground, mount the big wheel, reach
over and get the bar, and start off.
He succeeded on the third trial and
was cheered
Then he removed the handle bar,
leaving only the big wheel which he
rode. Next he removed the treadle
from the big wheel, and, mounting,
propelled it with his hands. Next he
stood upright, hands in air, and rode
the wheel. Then he brought out
common wagon wheel, placed his feet
on the hub on either side and propell-
ed it with his hands. He closed by
laying the wheel fat on the ground.
suddenly pulling it upright, Swinging
on and riding away. This was loudly
applauded.

Skeptical About the Telegraph

exploring some portions of the public
domain had for his guide an Indian
named Black Beaver. Beaver had visit
ed St. Louis and the small towns on the
Missourifrontier, and he prided himself
no less upon his acquaintance with the
customs of the whites than upon his
knowledge OF the country then being
traversed. He never seemed more
happy than when an opportunity was
offered for him to show his superior
knowledge in presence of his own peo-
pie. The following, from the journal
of the official, shows varying degrees
of credulity among the natives:
1t so happened, upon one occasion,
that / had aComanche guide who biv-
ouacked at the same fire with Bea-
yer. On visiting them one evening, I
found them engaged in very earnest,
and apparently not very amiable,
conversation. On inquiring the cause
OF this, Beaver answered.
GIVE been telling this Comanche
what I seen 'mong the white folks.''
"Well, Beaver, what did you tell
him?"
81 tell him bout the steamboats,,
and the railroads, and the heap o.
houses l seen in St. Louis
'Well, what does he think of that"
'He says Tze heap fool"
.'What else did you tell him about?"
81 tell him the world is round, but
he keep all e time say, Hush, you
fool! Do you s'pose Ize child?
Haven't l got eyes? Can't see the
prairie? You call him round? He
say, too, Maybe so tell you some
think you do not know before. One
time my grandfather he make long
journey that way pointing to the
west). When he get on big mountain,
he seen heap water on t'other side,
just as fiat he can be, and he seen the
sun go straight down ont side
l then tell him all these rivers he seen,
all e time the water he run; s'pose the
world fiat, the water he stand still.
Maybe so he not believe me?'
l told Beaver it certainly looked
very much like that. Isthen asked
him to explain to the Comanche the
magnetic telegraph. He looked at me
earnestly, and said
sWhat you call that magnetic tele-
graph?"
said, ..You have heard Of New
York and New Orleans?"
'Oh yes,' he replied.
Very well; we have a wire connect
ing these two cities, which are about
q thousand miles apart, and it would
take q man thirty days bride itupon
a good horse. Now man stands at
one end of this wire in New York, and
by touching it q few times he inquiries
Of his friend in New Orleans what he
had for breakfast, His friend at New
{ Orleans touches the other end of the
wire, and in ten minutes the answer
comes baek-ham and eggs. Tell him
that, Beaver"
His countenance assumed most
comical expression, but he made no,
remark until ] again requested him to
repeat what had said to the Com
anche, when he observed,
No, captain, mot tell him that, for
Idon't b'lieve that myself"
Upon my assuring him that such
was the fact, and that ] had seen it,
he said
s1njun not very smart; sometimes
he's big fool, but he holler pretty loud;
you hear him maybe half mile. You
say Merican man he talk thousand
miles. 'spect you try to fool ms
now, captain; maybe 90 you lie, !" 1 isas |.

Would go hunting on her face.

How immensely 'twould delight you

And you wish the chap confounded
When you think what you have not.
Oh, she's very, very pretty
Yet, my friend there's not a case

Rodman went to work. No motive
for the girls act existed. That had
been the weak part of Misrepresentation,
but Rodman's investigation developed
the fact that the murdered man had
betrayed a sister of the accused when
the family lived at Natchez. This was
evidence against the girl, and his faith
in her innocence was sadly shaken.
He was about to return home as he
did not want to supply any evidence
to the State. But he decided to visit
the girl in prison. He could only look
at her; she would not say a word. He
would then have sworn to her inno-
cence. He settled down to stay the
