Gathering News on Wheels.

Mr., o. p. Austin, q Washington cor
respondent, thus writes OF fashion
which he introduced Of using the cycle
in news gathering at the Capital:
s.Mr. W. L. Curtis, of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, has taken to the use Of a
tricycle. for method Of travelling in news
gathering. The wheel is becoming
quite popular as factor in the race for
news in Washington. With the smooth
pavements, travelling by bicycle or tri-
cycle is both convenience and luxury.
Just three years ago your correspondent
inaugurated the fashion of using the
bicycle for newsgathering purposes. He
was pioneerin this line, and like other
'reformers' found new principles unpopu-
lar at first. For the first year he rode
alone. Then Carp, of the Cleveland
Leader, after much hesitation and prac-
tice on the back streets, followed the ex-
ample. Pretty soon one Of the Associ-
ated Press staff, a noted Siberian traveller,
fell victim to the bicycle habit. Pretty
soon J. A. Trusdell, Of the Pioneer Press,
Joined the band Of mounted newsmen,
and paralyzed his northwestern readers
with descriptions Of Arlington and other
surroundings Of Washington as seen
from the saddle Of bicycle. Then one
Of the local papers mounted one or two
Of its men, Then the telegraph com
panies, seeing the advantage Of the sys-
tenn from a business standpoint, put
bearers Of dispatches on bicycles Soon
other converts to the system appeared in
the newspaper field, and now you may
count those who use the bicycle for news
gathering or news, dispensing by the
dozen, and a walk down newspaper row
discovers wheels waiting patiently be.

A Southern Rice Field.

"a large rice field, says Judge Hen
derson, Commissioner Of Agriculture Of
Georgia, resembles a map of a large city.
I mean a skeleton map, such as real es-
tate agents frequently distribute when
advertising lots for sale. The canals and
bitches of various sizes suggest tho lines
of lots. Or, it might be hkcned to a
backgammon board. The squares in a
rice field are checked off with almost as
much regularity. Mr.. Moynelo's planta-
tion, which l recently visited, contained
about 1, 200 acres, of which 900 were in
cultivation. The number of miles of
bitches in the 600 acres was ! 500. Some
Of the bitches were called carals. They
were large enough to float boats, which
served the same purpose Of carts or
wagons in wheat or cotton fields. The
dykes must have cost many thousands Of
dollars My attention was called to one
trunk on canal which alone cost $70O.
The number of trunks, drawbridges,
and bridges Of various kinds, must also
have cost many thousands Of dollars.
Superadd the cost Of labor in clearing
the immense forest growth which origi-
nally darkened and encumbercd the plan
tation, and it will readily be understood
that rice growing is an expensive bust

Lincoln invited the Governors of the
No thern States to meet him. Most Of
them came. That morning Governor
Buckingham said to me: "Why don't

rising. and looking somewhat severely
at me.
II am not Governor, 2 said I, ssbut a

"Well, don't know about this" said
the Indianian, and rose to go. 'I am
responsible, " said Governor Buckingham,
''he came with me-"
To relieve them and myself from en-
barrassment was hurying away, when
Mr.. Lincoln said: stWait minute, young
man." And then he stated that 1 had
applied to him in the morning as to the
advisability of being present, and he had
given his consent. ''For I don't intend
to say anything to-day that is secret in
any sense" he added, 'and | thought we
might just as well take the people into
confidence. However, it is for you gentle
men to say"
The position had become intolerable to
me and I bolted. I never knew what
further was said about it, but Governor
Buckingham gave me areport that night.
