The bearings in n bicycle are perhaps
more to be admired than any single
part. Instead of allowing tho axle to
slide round in its bearings, hard steel
rollers or balls arc introduced, so that
the parts which are pressed together
roll over and do not slide upon one an
other. Anyone who has trodden on n
roller or marble must have found in
possibly unpleasant manner the great
difference between rolling and sliding
friction. can now give for the first
time the result of an experiment only
completed this morning which shows
the extraordinary perfection to which
this class of work has attained. nave
observed how much \ new set of balls
which have obtained direct from the
maker, Mr.. Bown, has lost in weight
in travelling 1000 miles in my machine.
Every 200 miles | cleaned and weighed
the balls with all the care and accuracy
that the resources of ply steal labora-
tory will permit. The set OF twelve,
when new, weighed 20. $1,000 grm, Al
Ter 1000 miles, they weighed 2j.80OS8
grm., the loss being 3.l2 mgrm., which
is equal to 1909 grain-lhat is, run
ming 1000 miles, each ball lost l-2jO
grain. This corresponds TO II wear OF
only 1-l5S, 900 inch off the surface. Al
this rate of wcar-3.l2 mgrm. per coo
miles-the balls would lose only l.S4, 3
of their weight in travelling as far us
from here TO the moon.-G Vernon

The chestnut il for the man who
takes its shell Off
He is one of those men in whom ne
cessity is the mother Of virtue.
If bad temper were Il fever, there
wouldn't be hospitals enough TO hold
us all.
1t is poor sort of business to waste
your breath whistling for yesterdays
breeze.
The world is hard enough, God
knows, without one shutting ones
mouth the day it rains comiits.
To woman's eyes there is always
an atmosphere OF youth left about q
man who has once mado love to her.
Another mans admiration is back
ground against which many an ordina-
ry woman has shone clad in unaccus-
toned graccs to her lovers eyes.
1t is only a fool who would expect the
wind TO BIO always blowing from the
same point of compass. And real
sorrow-an old sorrow-I've known it
to act like ballast. It's heavy, aye,
but it trims tho boat, There's many a
man wouldn't sail 50 straight if there
wasn't some dead weight O that sort

The E.dmunds Bumshell,

senator Edmunds Of Vermont, dur
irg the last six months, has given his
party cause for great uncasncSs, ana
when, DECLARING the electoral vote IN
Joint convention, he said he made the
declaration only as public statement
and not as an act of lcgalized authority,
the fat was in the fire at once. The
leading republicans in both branches
futtered in alarm, and Mr.. Ingalls,
submitted resolution setting forth
that the senate dissented from the dec
laration made by its president. The
CONSERVATION was all in the republican
camp, however. The democrats watch
ed the internal conflict, not only with
out anxiety, but with unemployment,
and on Thursday had the satisfaction
Of seeing the resolution referred to the
committee on privileges and elections,
which will in effect pigeon-hole it,
1t was quite a victory for democratic
craftsmanship, and like most victories
so won, all the more valuable because
the democrats in this instance did not
have to strike blow. 1t was to be-
gin with, an acknowledgement by the
ablest republican III the senate of the
democratic position, and much as such
rigorous partisans Hoar, Sherman and
others were disturbed by it they did
not feel strong enough to assert their
position, but skulked by referring the
whole matter. Senator Edmund's ac-
ton was certainly rather cruel COM
mentary upon the infamous train of
proceedings that was carried out in
1876. 1t was Il kind Of condemnation
by construction in open court, without
giving the principal offenders a chance
to make It careful defence. We say
that Mr.. Edmund- has declared the
democratic position. This is only an
other way Of saying that he has de-
clarcd the constitutional position to
which. not only on this question but on
many others, the republican party is so
violently aud audaciously opposed
There can be no other honest construc-
ton. But if the declarativc meaning
OF the constitution can be dis
tortcd to furnish even the shadow of
Justification for doubt, of which de-
signing politicians can take advantage,
the yagucness should be eliminated
while it can be done calmly and with
less pressure from party necessity
The republicans do not love Mr.. Ed
munds any more for this new embar-
rassment that he has put upon them
but he seems to wish to atone for some
of the sins of the past by trying to de-
velop higher order of craftsmanship
in the present. Boston Post.

iV Thc New York Tribune says:
"Persons who read the death notices
in the newspapers from day to day
must observe that whenever the wealth.
er grows suddenly cold, the mortality
among old people greatly increases
This occurs so often that it is hardly
coincidence. Indeed it seems to boar
ont fully the assertion of many physic-
ians, that the secret of long life after
three-score years and ten is to keep

A Story Of T~rsachery.

New YORK fOSt.
The McPherson KELSEY controversy
in New Jersey has reached an interest
ing stage, Mr.. kelsey having offered to
submit it to the determination ,of the
courts in a libel suit in which he. if he
shall be the plaintiff, will claim only
six cents damage, while Mr.. McPher-
son, if he cares to take the side of in
jured innocence, may put his claim as
high as he p%leases. The gravaman of
the charge against MI. Mcpherson is
that he entered into a bargain with his
Republican colleague, Senator Sewell,
at secret interview held at the Cont
mental hotel In Philadelphia,on the eve
ming Of December 5, 1873, to betray
the Democratic party in the State and
secure the election Of Mr.. Sewell to the
senate in place of the late Senator
Randolph and to do this in the inter-
est Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. A graver charge of political
baseness and inidelity has never been
brought against any public man in
this country-none graver could be i'm
agined. The evidence to sustain it is
partly direct and partly circumstan-
tial. The direct evidence consists in a
memorandum said to have been made
by the Hon. P. H. Watson, ex-assistant
secretary Of war, Of "a converse
ton between Mr.. Mcpherson and Mr..
Sewell, overheard by him when occu-
pying an apartment adjoining Mr..
McPherson's at the Continental hotel.
The conversation, it is stated, was re-
duced to writing by Mr.. Watson, at
the instance of the Hon. Abram S.
Het7itt, but not for purposes Of publi-
cation. This memorandum (which
was published in the Evening Post of
Tuesday LAST came into the possession
of the editor of the Trenton True
American, who printed it in full. Mr..
Mcpherson denied the truth of the
statements contained in this memo
randum in every part. Mr.. Kelsey,
secretary of the State of New Jersey,
now brings forward the circumstan-
tial evidence, which in his opinion
sustains the charge. This consists in
the mysterious loss, by the Demo
cratic party, Of votes in certain
counties which were controlled by
Mcpherson, which ought to have
returned Democratic members of
the Legislature, but which re-
turned Republican members and
insured Mr.. Sewell's election as United
States senator. According to MIR.
Kelsey, the treachery Of 1878 was re-
peated in 1884 for the purpose of
securing a second defeat Of the Dem
ocratic party in the legislature, which
was accomplished, Notwithstanding the
fact that the State gave Cleveland a
plurality of 4,412 votes.

ILL nHLEr

There has been great enthusiasm in
the Democratic party for the last few
days, and that has been attended with
some excitement and consequent irri-
tation. We believe that a pretty good
understanding has been reached, and
that quiet will soon prevail.
During the excitement we gave Mr..
Beck hard blows, and did all in our
power to array our party against him
He has also freely expressed himself
about the editor of this paper.
It reached our ears that he
said he could have had, or could
get the influence of the CoMMERoIAL
HERALD by the use Of money. On
Washington street yesterday the editor
thought that Mr.. Beck in his conYer-
sation with him implied the same
thing. We stated to him, that in this
campaign we intended to give him the
fullest liberty of expression and to
question our motives, and that for the
present we contented ourself with re-
plying to his insinuation if it was
meant for US, with saying that he was
wholly mistaken. His remarks irri-
tated very little, for we believe he has
influenced directly and indirectly so
many persons and accomplished so
many purposes with money, that he
really believed the COMMERCIAL HER
AID was not beyond his reach. It's
files will demonstrate that it has al
ways been beyond his reach in the past
for it never supported him for any po-
sition since he has been a Republican
the public will be able to judge during
this campaign, whether he is able to
swerve it from the course it has
marked out, for we intend
to exercise the same freedom of ex-
preston that we have accorded him,
and when we speak or write anything
about him or about his record, we will
assume all the responsibility that at.
to the act.

The Cheyennes Leaving the Agency
ti34 In Squads.

KANSAS CITY, July15.-A telegram
received from Arkansas City last night
says several bands of Cheyenne In
dams, numbering from five to fifty,
have been south of there and a few
have come into the town, but not
painted. The local militia have been
ordered out and arms and ammunition
provided them. They are ordered to
be ready to move forward at a mo-
ment's notice. A courier from the
Cheyenne agency to Arkansas City
says the whole tribe are leaving the
agency in squads. Of twenty-five and
fifty, and spreading to the northwest
and west, forcing cattle men to provide
them rations.
