BICYCLE RIDERS.

We wish TO call the attention of all
who ride cycles to the following road
rules, adopted by one of the largest
clubs in Vermont and copied from them
by many of the leading clubs of the
country. If all wheelmen will OBJ
serve them it will soon do away with
the prejudice that exists among own
ers of horses against cycles. Horse
men and wheelmen have common in
terest instead of being sworn enemies.
These are the two classes who most
appreciate good roads and who ought
to work together for road improve
ment.
The St. Albans Bicycle Club met on
Wednesday evening at the Board of
trade rooms and the following officers
were elected John Norton, president
w. w. Jeunison, vice president; K.
H. Ford, secretary and treasurer. The
club have adopted the Springfield road
rules and request that all owners OF
horses would read them carefully.
ROAD RULES AND REGULATIONS.
L. In riding, strict attention must be
given to the right of other persons oc-
cupying the public highways, and eau
ton invariably observed when ap-
preaching horses upon the track, eth
er standing or driven.
III. A drivers hand raised is under
stood as a cautionary signal, and if re-
peated, as a request to dismount.
III. In meeting anyone pass to the
right.
w. No member shall disre gard
these signals.
V. Bells or whistles should be
sounded both when meeting or over
taking anyone, especially pedestrians,
and at not less than forty feet distant
from them. Repeat, if they do not
notice your signal.
vi. The courtesies of the road
should be observed at all times and es-

foot passengers, frightening horses,
and fast or reckless riding.

Several persons of wide and honora-
BILE reputation have recently died in the
United States. EXPIRES. Woolsey OF
Yale College stands prominent among
these as publicist and scholar He
was one of the foremost writers in the
world on political science, aud thous-
ands of young men have been moulded
by his influence. He had in his veins
the blood of Pres. Dwight and is about
the last of the college presidents of the
last generation. Among politicians we
notice the death Of Simon Cameron, he
having passed his ninetieth year. He
has been a somewhat remarkable figure
in our history, prominent in the days
Of the rebellion and the reconstruction
period that followed. The general inn
preston of his character left on the
minds of the better class of men has not
been as favorable as in the case of some
other men who were associated with
Lincoln in the dark days of our history.
He was about the last of Lincoln's cab
met officers, only two now remain. An
other death causing much sadness is
that Of Miss Mary Brigham, recently
elected president of Mt. Holyoke col
lege. The manner of her "taking Off
has an element of tragedy about il that
deepens the feeling of sorrow. She was
one of three victims in a railroad acci-
dent in Conn, meeting death almost in
simultaneously. 1t seems now as though
her place could not be filed. Miss Ma
ria Mitchell, the distinguished astrono-
mer has just died, also, Mrs. Hayes,
wife of ex-Pres. Hayes. Three of the
noblest women of the country have thus
closed useful careers. 1t is not often
that so many distinguished persons die
so near together.

WHAT VIEW SHALL WE TAkE7

There are two views prevalent in re-
gard to our national prospects, the OPP
timistic and the pessimistic. In these
Commencement days, when the schol-
ar enters into politics, we are favored
with the latter view. There is one
thing quite clear, that many of our
best writers and closest thinkers take a
gloomy view Of our future. The rapid
growth of our cities, the influx of dan
gerous classes from the countries of Eu-
rope, the increase of corrupt methods in
politics, the growth of monopolies, the
separation Of society into classes, that
are growing farther and farther apart,
the loosening of the hold of religious
influences upon the minds of the people
through the increasing diffusion Of scep-
teal thoughts and theories, are all tax
en- as signs Of the approach Of a day of
dissolution and the downfall of the re-
public. This side of the case Is dwelt
upon and we are forewarned that we
may be forearmed. A republic de-
mands self-governing people. We
