body. Consider the rider going slowly
in traffic. when the ordinary mortal has
to be constantly giving small, quick
turns of the front wheel; the barless
expert will have to rock himself from
side to side until his face is blue, like
the White knights aged, aged man.
And how is he going to get Off? A GER
tain small boy, when learning to ride,
used to steady himself for the dismount
by running his front wheel into
hedge Git was a cushion-tired veteran);
will the American when he wants to
dismount charge on the sidewalk and
fix his wheel between an elderly gentle
man and shop front? back pedal
ing rim brake is presumably, the
means of slowing up, or perhaps
pneumatic brake, with the pressure
bulb attached to the crossbar. In an
emergency, however, the absence of the
handlebar would enable rider to lean
forward and apply his hand to the
front wheel, rubber gloves being, no
doubt, supplied for that purpose. The
invention would have delighted the
White Knight. One or two OF his
phrases would apply. For instance:
You see, the difficulty of steering is to
use the handlebar properly; now, [ re-
move the handlebar, and there you are
no difficulty at ALL" Or again;
may not always want my hands free,
but if I do, I don't care to have them
running all about a handlebar.' And
when the ingenious inventor next doth
ride abroad, may I be there to see"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NOTES.

New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad stock made a further advance
last week from ZIG to 2l812, closing at
the latter figure. The convertible tours
sold to 100, with a nominal quotation of
1879 to 100.
American Express company advanced
from 145 to 1859, but receded to 157 at the
close. The rumor is abroad that stock
holders may be favored with an increase
after the manner of the holders of Ad-
ans company, whose holders last year
received a thousand dollar bond and ten
shares of stock for each ten shares held
at the time of the increase. There is,
