band and thus supporting the horse, SO to
speak. When a hill is reached, and as soon
as the horse or team gets a few inches high
er than the center of the load, the belly
band slackens, and the weight is upon the
horses backs. Thus the team in effect car
ries a part of its load up hill while it hauls
the rest. This is effected by having the
shaft, or wagon tongue in the American
language, arranged by a spring connecting
with the forward axle.
So far good, but the promoters Of this
~invention add another experiment story
which looks o trife "ishy." A man, says
their printed report, who had two wooden
legs and walked only with crutchcs, and
that with great difficulty, was put between
the shafts of g small buggy of the new
style, the load being 800 pounds and the
man weighing $50. After being properly
harnessed the lame man, to his own amaze
ment as well as that of the spectators,
walked off without crutches, drawing the
load with case.

nails, IS hot under the collar on the ques-
ton ofBiid-eat currency, and is ehsiing
under the opposition developed to the
repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on State
bank issues. This tax, in its opinion, Is
an intolerable infringement on the rights
Of the Southern States. and it insists up
on holding the party 10 its pledge TO re-
peal it. So confident Of success in this
direction IS the Constitution that it pre-
diets that one of the first reforms Of the
next Congress viii be the repeal Of this
tax, and the re-establishment Of circula-
