He made tour of India, China and

York.
In 1866 he opened at the Olympic the
atre, on Broadway, under the manage
ment Of Mrs. John Wood, and was sue
cessful. From this time forward he
played frequently to American audiences
with favor, but was especially good in
Dickens characters. As Micawber and
as Silas Wegg he did remarkably well,
making considerable money out Of the
latter impersonation.
He wrote a comedy called "Brass,"
which failed. Indeed most of his dra.
matte writings were failures. His "Ge-
neva Cross" was great success, but he
was accused of taking it from tho
French. In his later days he was not in

sounds somewhat paradoxical, but 1t Is at the
same time true, that most of the serious
wheeling accidents occur to professional or
thoroughly experienced riderS
The reason Is that an old rider Is apt to
become careless He forgets that he Is on
wheel as he spins over tho smooth asphalt,
and when the stono or other obstruction APP
pears in his path he is not looking for it, and
consequently is not prepared. So, bill over

Professionals or those amateurs who take
part in races or tournaments, however, ere
the greatest sufferers from accidents. There
are two reasons for this; First, the race
tracks are of course crowded with wheels
whose riders nre all excited to greater or
less degree and are apt 70 steer wildly and
run each other down. Second man in
tracing form must lean forward over tho

center Of gravity before instead OF behind

A good costume for women riders Is described
in Cassel's Magazine thus:
1.-THE gown must not be over two yards In

be guiltless Of steels or other dress improving
arrangement; 1t must be long enough to
touch the instep as 1t reaches the lowest

with nc floating founces or frill. A color

the most sensible wear, and jewelry, colored

and the headgear should be chosen with a

The-R0ad Law.

One of the most important matters
that will come up before the next ley
i%slaturc will be the amendment of the
existing defective road law. 1t is uni
versally admitted that tho present
road law has proved mn ignominious
failure so far MS giving the people
good roads is concerned. Senator
Jarvis, OF Tarrant county, has drawn
up a bill which will be presented for
discussion and passage In some shape.
II provides Tor the issue OF bonds not
10 exceed 8 per cent of the assumed
value OF the property In a county, tho
interest Of the bonds not to exceed 8
per cent. for the building of gravel or
macadamizcd roads rs well as straight
ching tho same and making them per.
nlanent. Road work is to bc done
under contract and no bonds are TO
be issued unless the citizens of n coun.
- vote in favor of such issue of bonds.
The farming community will be
well represented In the coming lcgis-
laturc and certainly none know the
want OF better country roads than the
farmers themselves, and knowing as
they do the urgent necessity, they
will doubtless be able to devise some
plan by which the object may be oh.
iaincd without cxhorbitant taxation.
