What Did G. z. O. Mean?

"Onc of the most curious blunders of
an author was that made by Thackeray,
when collecting material for his Irish
Sketch Book. Driving along a road, he
saw at due intervals posts set up with
the letters &c. p. o. upon them. Over
taking peasant, he inquired the mean-
ing of these initials and was gravely
informed that they stood for God Pre-
serve O'Connell!' Out came the tour
lists notebook, in which a memorandum
was at once jotted down Of the curious
statement. In the first edition Of the
sketches the fact was duly mentioned,
but it was suppressed in all the subse-
quent issues, owing to the tardy discov-
cry that the initials stood for General
Post Office indicating that the high
way was post road"
1t is due to the memory Of William
Makepeace Thackeray to say that the
above happened not to him, but to Lord
Haddington when riding into Dublin
from Kingstown in 1884. See Private
Correspondence of Daniel O'Connell, VI

bicycle Etiquette.

Here are some rules laid down by an
authority OH bicycle etiquette: "In
mounting the gentleman who is accom-
panying lady holds her wheel; she
stands on the left side of the machine
and puts her right foot across the frame
TO the right pedal, which att the time
must be up; pushing the right pedal
causes the machine to start and then
with the left foot i'll place the rider
starts ahead-slowly at first, in order
to give her cavalier time to mount his
wheel. which he will do in the briefest
time possible. When the end Of the ride
is reached, the man quickly dismounts
and is at his companions side to assist
her, she, in the meantime, assisting
herself as much as possible. This is
done-that is, dismounting i'm the
most approved style by riding slowly,
and when the left pedal is OH the rise
the weight Of the body is thrown ON it,
the right foot is crossed over the frame
Of the machine, and with an assisting
hand the rider easily steps to the ground.
In meeting a party Of cyclists who are
known to each other and desire to stop
for parley it is considered the proper
thing for the men of the party to dis
mount while in conversation with the
ladies. As to the furnishings Of the BIZ
cycle, to be really swagger, it must be
fitted out with a clock and bell, lug
gage carrier and cyclometer, the lat
ter being an absolute sine qua non to
the woman who cares for records.

Breaking It Gently,

Some time ago a troopship was re-
turning from abroad, and among the
passengers was an old lady who had a
favorite parrot, which she placed under
the especial care Of one Of the sailors.
On going to attend Polly one morning
the latter was surprised to find the poor
bird dead, and knowing how very much
upset the old lady would be to hear OF
the death of her favorite, and not feel
ing equal to imparting the sad intelli-
gence, he employed brother tar, who
was famous for his gentleness III matters
of that nature. Going up to the old lady
with very sad face, and touching his
cap, he said:
II don't think that ere parrot Of
yours will live long, marin"
"Oh, dear!' said the old lady
"Why?"
"Why, cos he's Dead" was the com.
forting reply-Liverpool Mercury.

Authors and Music.

Milton had a strong taste for music,
and wrote his play Of "Comus" for
his friend Henry Lawes, the most dis
tinguished composer of the day in Eng
land. Music and conversation, indeed,
were his chief recreations. He some
times sang, and could play the bass viol,
but his favorite instrument was the or
gan. Gray had liking for music, and
would sing on occasion, though with
some diffidence. While i'll Italy he
learned to play on the harpsichord from
the younger Scarlatti, and was the
means OF introducing Pergolesi Into
England.
Though Rogers kept nightingales to
sing to him, his taste in music would
hardly be admired at the present day,
for he is said, when dining alone, to
have had an italian organ grinder play
ing in the hall! Goldsmith was skillful
with flute, and could sing a song or
dance minuet with the best. Other
and nOisier amusements, however, did
not come amiss to him, and games of
