Where a BycicIe is Unknown.

There are on the Continent some
spots in which the bicycle is still a
novelty. One of these seems to be
northern Denmark. A correspondent
relates that he recently made bicycle
tour in Jutland; and that upon second
time passing through small village
near Viborg he was told story which,
for day or two, had much exercised
the local gosips. On the occasion of
of his first visit to the neighborhood the
bicyclist was benighted and. having
lighted his lamp, rode at topmost speed
for many miles along a lonely higway
in the dark. He was seen by a passing
countryman, who, stricken with terror,
fell upon his knees, and was found in
that attitude By a belated letter-carrier

VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Absent Letters Can be RemaiIed without
Additional Expense.

Two men stood near letter-box in
Broadway disputing about sealed let
ter which one of them held in his hand.
The letter bad been posted at an Office
in Virginia and carrier had delivered
it &C an uptown address. In the mean
time the person to whom the letter was
addressed had left the city. The origi-
nal address had been erased and one in
a distant town had been written below it,
You will have to put another stamp
on it," said the stoutcr of the two men
to the one who held the letter.
That's possible, but my wife told
me l only needed to drop it into box.
She ought to know about such things,
because she re-mals lots of letters that
come to the house,
'.Why didn't she look after this one
then?''
because she wanted it sent from
down town SO that it would get out
quicker"
"Well, if you post it without another
stamp it will not 90 at all. Women
don't know about such things"
A letter-carrier approached the box
at that moment and an appeal was made
to him. He glanced at the envelope and
said: That needs another stamp lie
cause it is not city letter. If 1t were
going to another part Of the city the old
stamp would carry it.
''Do you mean to say that this letter
would be detained at the Office for post
ageP"
well, perhaps they would send it
and charge the extra postage at the
other end of the line. You had better
see the station agent about it."
There said the stout man after the
carrier had walked away, ''you see how
much your wife knew about it,
Come on to the station and if she il
wrong | will pay for two cigars"
They went to Station A and the letter
was shown to the agent there. That's
all right" was his curt comment
But carrier has told Inc it would
need another stamp because it was
going out of the city again"
The law nsed to be that wav," the
agent said, ''but it has been changed,
and every carrier ought to know it. Now
a letter can be remaied as often as
necessary within the United States to get
it to the owner without extra postage.
The only limit is the number of changes
that can be made in addresses on the
face of the envelope. ~ Y Tribune.

Cheap Wives.

Young men desiring inexpensive wives
will DO well to proceed immed lately TO
Rochester, \. n. where they will find what
begmsn would call full line" of mar
Tisgeable girlsst prices that defy competition.
The young men Of Rochester, like other
New England young men, are not inclined
to marry New England girls Whatever
may be the real reasons for this alb.
stinence from marriage, the Rochester young
men recently claimed exemption from
matrimony on the ground that they could
Dot afford TO support wives. In so doing
they did not remember that the New Eng
land girl is reasoning being endowed with
knowledge Of arithmetic and ca pable OF
making estimates. The Rochester girls met
together and drew up scheme setting forth
the proper household expenses of q family of
six-that being, in their opinion, the very
largest family compatible with decency and
order. They estimated that such
family could be comfortably sup.
ported on S46S per annum, with
sn additional allowance TO the
wife OF $50 per annum for her wardrobe
Copies OF this scheme were made and sent 10
al the unmarried young mea OF Rochester,
and the latter can no longer pretend that
they can not afford 10 marry
IL is barely probable that the total sam OF
S54o would suffice to pay the personal ex.
penses OF a husband in addition 10 all the
other family expenses. The Rochester
young ladies have, il is understood
estimated that e mans clothing ought to
cost him not more than $50 year and that
. % will supply him with all the cigars
that be can possibly smoke. There is PROB
ably an error here. Only 800 cigars st two
and half cents each could De bought for
$50, and few men would be content with
ons cigar every week day. The average
New Hampshire husband may be expected
to smoke at least S14 worth of cigars snnu-
ally, and in most cases so would no. more
than pay the cOst OF his clothes.
IL We increase the estimates IN accordance
with these figures we shall find that family
OF SIX can live in Rochester, y. H, for about
500 year. There can be no mistake about
this, for the Rochester young ladies have
demonstrated il on paper. II the Rochester
young men know what is best for themselves
they will marry Rochester girls without q
moments delay. for as soon as it is known
that desirable wives can be had in Roenester
at such aridiculously cheap rate the town
will be invaded by hundreds of aporecistivs
men. No such inducements to marry have
ever hitherto been offered, and If the Roches.
ter girls are made of good materials they
constitute the cheapest Investment ever
offered to the public.

UNDER all the circumstances 1t
seems to us that it would be good
policy to adopt the representation
amendment, because, whilst it does
not accord to New Castle County
full justice, it approximates that
desirable good. Candor, however,
forces us to say that we do not be-
lieve the amendment meets the APP
probation of majority of the voters
of the State. The Democrats in this
county are by no means unit for
it; the Republicans are about all
opposed to it, and we are inclined to
think that a decided majority OF
both parties in Kent and Sussex are
against it. Mr.. John Saulsbury's
proposition for district representa-
ton would be altogether better for
the people, but is it practicable with
out State constitutional conven-
ton? The minority ought to be
represented. An exclusive majority
cannot be trusted. All experience
shows that it tends to become arbi'
trary, tyrannical and corrupt. We
would accept the amendment sim
ply because it is the best thing prac
ticablc at present.
