panying a 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 at the time
must be up; pushing the right pedal
causes the machine to start and then
with the left foot in place the rider
starts ahead-slowly at first, in order
10 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 - in the
most approved style by riding slowly,
and when the left pedal is on the rise
the weight Of the body is thrown on it,
the right foot is crossed over the frame

hand the rider easily steps to the ground.

Authors and Music.

Milton had a strong taste for music,
and wrote his play Of "Comus" foi
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 a liking for music, and
would sing on occasion. though with
some diffidence. While in 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 a flute, and could sing a song or
dance a minuet with the best. Other
and noisier amusements, however, did
not come amiss to him, and games OF
blindman's buff or forfeits were often a
sore trial to the occupant of the room
below the poets in Brick court, Tenn
ple-the learned Blackstone, then en-
gagged in writing his Commentaries. -

What Did G. r. O. Mean9

Zone 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 g. P. O. upon them. Over
taking a peasant, he inquired the mean
ing of these initials and was gravely
informed that they stood for God Pre-
serve O'Connelli' 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 a 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

THE MURDERED TRAVELLER.

On Thursday last, a man was found
murdered within q few miles of this
city. By the merest accident the mat
ter reached the newspapers. You
might have walked the streets Of Las
Vegas all day and not have heard a
word uttered concerning the awful
deed. Only a stranger murdered !;
there was no use in making a great
ado over that. Little do we think that
for this stranger, who now fills a for
gotten grave somewhere out on the
plains, there perhaps awaits a loving
wife and fatherless ami hungry chill
dren, or anxious parents who will never
know the fate of their boy. A life has
been snuffed out by the cruel hand of
an assassin, in our midst, and no word,
no sign or message to any n was left
by the unfortunate man to tell us who
he had been, or what he had been.
Is there an effort to bring the muir
derers to justice being made by the
officers OF the lawP Or will the MUIR
derous iends be allowed to visit Las
Vegas each week, and mingle among
their fellow men until another oppor-
tunity for cold-blooded murder presents
itselfp In the past year a number of
people have been found dead, murder
ed, within this county, and so far as
WI know, no systematic effort has been
made to bring the guilty parties to
justice. 1t is indeed a sad state of af
fairs, when such terrible crime may be
committed at our very door, and public
feeling is so little aroused by IL.
