In speking of his trip last even
ing that gentleman said:
THE entire party was delighted
with the scenery in and about HilO,
the ride through the Olaa forest being
particularly delightful Our treat
meut while at the Volcano House was
a perfe ct as could be desired, and we
voted Peter Lee a capital host He
eXerted himself in every possible
manner to make our stay pleasant

the volcano in action, so We're not dis

all people suffering from any form of
rheumatism or skin disease-of which
there are thousands travelling over

"The reception of myself and entire

October the writer visited the riding
school Of the Pope Manufacturing Com
pany on Columbus Avenue, Boston, and
among the pupils who were endeaovring
to master the art of wheel riding were a
white haired old lady and an old gentle
man, each of whom must have been more
than 80 years of age. The lady had solved
the mysteries of the art and was riding
very nicely, while the attendant, who
showed us about, pronounced the old gen
tleman most promising pupil.
In view of the very general use of bicy-
cles there does not seem to be any good
reason why the manufacturers of them
should not be content to place them upon
the market at the same rate of profit Sc

or sleighs If this were done, there can
be little doubt but what $50 or $50 would

not have all the ornamental features
which many of the modern bicycles in

durable and fill the requirements of every
day people. We believe there is large
field for just such bicycles, and the manu-
facturer who is the first to come forward
and supply it, can scarcely fail to secure an
enormous trade.

State Printinq.

The Lakeside Press of Portland, has
offered to do the States printing the next
two years for $1,000, less than any of
the Augusta firms are willing to do the
job.-Eastern Argus.
The above is in line with some other
wild talk upon the same subject that has
been INDUCED in by certain parties of late
1t is absurd ON the face of it, The an
nual appropriation for State printing is
$50, 600, precisely the same that it was in
1870, when the volume of printing was
about two-thirds as large as it is at the
present time. Let us assume, that it is all
expended for printing. At least SIS,
600 is expended for paper stock, which, by
the terms of the contract. is furnished
the State at cost. This leaves $15,-
900 with which to pay wages of
the large number of skilled printers
employed upon this work; the interest
upon a $50, 200 plant, taxes, insurance,
and rent. When these bills are Paid the
margin left for the State printers is
neither large nor unreasonable.

the State an annual saving of $1,000, as
averred in the above item, would have
had to submit a bid about fifty per cent.
lower than that of the present print
ers. 1t is needless to say they have done
nothing of the kind.

September ON scale surprising any SINH
lar demonstration that has ever occurred

the close of the Rebellion there will oc-
cur popular ceremonies of a military
character to which all the states of the
Union will be invited Secretary La
mont has sent invitations to the governors
OF all the states to participate in the
event, accompanied by their staffs. 1t is
probable that the occasion will be a no
table one and it is hoped that it may do
much to dispel all elements of bitterness
that may still survive the surrender at
Appomattox, and bring the North and
South into closer and more cordial rela.
tions.

The Brooklyn strike has been an ex-
ceedingly expensive one. 1t is estimated
that its total cost will be over 80, goo, 600.
OF this amount S131, 600 falls on the troll
ley car companies, and S13S, 900 on their
striking employees. Kings county will
have to pay bill amounting to $500, 600.
These items do not include the large loss
cntailcd upon the business community
which it is difficult, indeed, to estimate.
In view Of these facts how much wiser it
would have been if mutual concessions
had avoided all this trouble, and led to
amicable relations between the managers
OF the roads and their employees. 1t is to
be hoped that some way may be found in
the future to avoid such deplorable affairs
entailing as they do such heavy losses
upon those directly and indirectly en-
gagged in them, and, indeed, upon many
who have nothing whatever to do with
them. 1t is one of the great questions
which is now pressing for solution, and if
some way be found of dealing with it the
whole country will be gamer.
