Close by the sad, sweet, murmuring sea. The wavelets rippled at our feet. They Jeeuied to Kiss, when e’fer they’d ■me^t » Thenalanelng off all frolicsome, Made room for other waves to come. ' I eloped her yielding, hand In mine Nor noted once the flight Of tlm£ So happily the moments flew. Nothing but love our young hearts knew. I'gathered seashen^t on the sand, - Ah'! A’Idle I placed them In her hand, I pleaded that she’d name the day. When I A>uld claim her mine for aye. The shell’s reflection, pink and pearl, ' i Flashed full upon the lovely girl, As hlushlngly she plighted mV, Her love, down by the rolling sea. And oft th dreams I wander there Upon the bench \rith one so fair. When loving tones are waited me, From off the soft, low, murmuring s»ea. A Tricycle Made for Two, .Zl!>BJjLntL-NuiUli££j.:aitarl A street organ was playing “A Bicy- y A ’Y' ele Made for Two,” and as we listened sodlv, and wondered .how long England worrM-he fieruiilleit td-.tV~TTr~FeTuge '’oT Anarchists and organ-grinders, the Colo- nel remarked to no pho. jq partieulaY.-”A ' tWi yele made ’* for t wo may do w ell enough in this country; but if you Brit' , isbers had ever seen Professor \’an Wag- em r s tricyi le made for two, you would, nevtf think of singing about any kind of bicycle.” "1 think 1 was telling you the other day," continued the Colonel, ’’about Professor Van Wagoner, the great elec trical sharp, who used to’live next door to me In Xew -Berlinopolisvllle. A mighty clever man he was in many oth- e'r directions than that of- electricity., He was always inventing something. I have known that man to get up at four o clock on a winter's morning and in vent straight along till noon. Show him a piece of maeMnory, L don't care what it might be, and he would instant- ].v go b> work to inyrove It. ‘ • - "I had a reaping-machine in my field, and ope day the Professor happened to see it. Nothing would satisfy him but to put an attachment, to' that machine so that it would gather ithe straw Huto bundles, and ti“ them neatly around the middle with ropes whi<-h were to be twisted.out of.straw by a second attach* ment to the machine. He worked at that idea for several months, until he ‘ Rot it to suit him. • Then he built a brand new machineiwitfa-hls two attach* n eiits,' and took it into my Held to ex hibit, it. He was so proud of it that he s« ut out written invitations to about all iis acquaintances to come and see it, an lUte told me that this time he had made an invention t\li;tt ^was going to make his fortttn^ and) givethimj a reputa tion that would lie ov.erVny, otner man’s, perhaps, George Washington’s. "The-uuichiue was a big, chHnsy-hwt- iug affair, and was run by a horse that had a Sort ilf stall in about the middle of it. where be coiikln’t play any tricks, ami, where the machine couldn’t play any tricks on him. The Professor had Lia . wife with, him aoid his wife's-cousin, who was a very pretty' girl, though.! don't believe Van Wageuer ever noticed ’ ■that- rttiythihg was pretty uiriess it wan some sort of scientific apparatus. The horse was started up, and- the machiue began*to reap and to'tie up bundles of straw, just‘as the Professor had said it would do. His wife's cousin wanted to see just how the thing worked, so he took her alongside of the machine, and before they- fairly knew -wliat was the matter the machine bad Jj.keib the Prbfes- sor and the girl into a bundle, and tied them so tight that they could hardly ^ breathe. Naturally the people who had - r been invited fy see the machine' work, ^rushed lip to help the r Professor and the young whman, and presently Jthat ma-’ chine had most of the leading citizens of New Berlinopolisville tied up iu neat bundles, and lying around oil the ground calling for help, except such of them as had been wrapped round with straw, and were too nearly suffocated to speak. The machine kept on its ;way, seeking for more citizens and more straw, until . some man had sense enough to stop the horse, and so y>ut an end to the i>erfonn- ance. There isn’t any manner of do'iibt that it was a talented machine, but when the leading citizens had been set free,^, they seemed ‘very much prejudiced against it. Some of them were for kill ing the’ Professor, and sOme of, them were for killing the horse, but they final ly compromised,, and arranged tlirfr dif- ferences by smashing thy machine into scrap iron, ttnd informing the Professor that if he ever calculated to build anoth .•-mt.uu*, -he hail-better dig his grave first, and sit close to the edge of if. ’I can’t say that I blame them very much, for when a tnan is violently tied up wTh some other man whom he’do’n’t particu larly like, or with Some other-' inatfs wife, knowing all the time that the wo man's htisband is spry with his weapons and unwilling as a general rule to argue a matter until after he has got through shooting, it stands to reason that he won't feel particularly friendly to the • machine that has done the. tying. • 1 never heard any. more apbout that uia chine from" the Professor, and it's niy 'belief that when his wife got him Mine she let him know that he couldn’t be tit'll up in the same bundle with a good- looking cousin without inviting the just it.idlg«litSon of a virtuous 4and devoted wife. \ .. “Another time the Professor was tak ing a drive with rtie iu ray buggy, and it struck him aj? a bright idea that the hit and-reins ought to.he siipersedi-d by electricity. So he goes to work and invents a. new way of driving * horse by pressing buttons instead of pulling on the reins. He had wires running from . the seat of his wagon to different parts ' of the horse. You pressed one button and. the horse got a aboek on the ri^ht aide of Ms fact that made him turn to the left. You pressed -wither button and a' shock on the left cheek turned him to the right. A wire connecting with his tail waa^ised to stir him up, • Instead of a.whip.’and a strong current sent into Els forelegs was expected to make-, him stop dead stilt whenever it was turned on. All these currents came from a battery under the seat of the wagon, and the butfons that turned them on were Ifet into the seat on either.-side of the driver. C ' ’V 1 ^ “Van Wegener took hia wife out to headway, you understand. Nothing that Van W&geper could do had any effect in drive in this new style of wagon a» soon as lie got it perfected, and to all appear ances it worked very well. He stopped in front of Dr. Smith’s drug store, which was our leading drug store at the time, though afterwards the proprietor was crusaded by the Woman's Christian Tem perauce Union, who smashed all his whiskey bottles and knocked out the heads of his whiskey barrels, and left nothing in his establishment except a few medicine bottles and a little per fumery. Well, as I was saying, the Professor slipped in front of the drug store, and Mrs. Van Wagener climbed down and bought.adme mustard-plasters, or something of thelsort, and then climb ed into the wagoh again. She was a middling heavy woman, which was la Utile strange, considering how strict she was in matters of morality and religion, for your strict woman is nearly always more or less bony, and she sat down on the seat with considerable force, and directly on the top of about half the elec tric buttons, she having forgof all about Ttmn.~ The horse Tonldn’t quite' tiirder- stand the signals, but when he felt a hour;, that is. after It got well under slowing it down. The engine was work ing for all it was worth, and she meant to keep on working according to contract. When the tricycle struck the level ground she slowed down to about eighteen miles an hour, for the Professor had given her rather more power than he, had intended to give her. There weren't any hills or any ascents worth mentioning for the machine to climb, for Berjiuopolisvllle Is about six hundred feet above the lake, and the road that the Professor had tak en keeps descending all the way. “When the Professor found that he couldn’t stop the tricycle, he was a pret ty badly frightened man. He couldn't possibly throw himself off without mix ing himself all up with the wljeijls, and ing tr current setting up Ms spine and another iu Ms left cheek, and another in his right cheek, he saw that IW "ruratter of I “Mrs. " Dnmfrfes enjoyert the thing Ht broking most of his bones. Besides, he couldn’t desert the widow in any such way as that. You may ask why he didn’t turn the machine round, and steer for home. The reason was that he Couldn’t possibly turn it at the speed it was running at without capsizing the whole coueern. The only thing he eould possibly do was to keep |n the middle of •the- road, and—tet--the •ntaehine run "ffll the power was exhausted, which, if he had made no mistake in his calculation, wouldn't be less than tw-elve hours.

The Professor yelled to him to whoa, and he turned on all his electri city ’at once, hoping to shock the horse imtr some sort of paralysis, but it didn’t work. The horse just kicked the whole front of the wagon into smithereens, and when he struck the battery and ■spilt the acids over his legs, he remem bered that be had an engagement in the next county, and he started to keep it at a pace of about thirty miles an hour. It didn't much matter to the Professor and his wife, -who-had-been "scattered all over the neighborhood when the horse’s heel* first struck the seat, bat when they came to. and Smith ^had plastered them up with brown paper and arnica, Van Wagener remarked that, in his opinion, horses were played out. and thai in this jure electricity ou«ht to be made to tak# the place of such a grossly unscientific animal. The Colonel paused, and pulled his hat down over his eyes as was his custom when he had finished speaking and de sired to smoke in silence. He was re minded'by Thompson that, however in teresting his reminiscence* of Itofessor Van Wagener might be. they had not yet included the promised account of the tricycle made for two. •‘Beg your pardon, gentlemen," said the. Coldnel. ‘‘I clean forgot about that. The truth is .when I get to remember ing aliout the Professor’s invention* there are so many of th«m that 1 gener- ally forget the particular one 1 started out to tell about. It's the same way with this hyer village <rf London. I’ve started out half a dozen times to go to see the Tower, and I strike'so many TETfigs that TnTefest' me that I have never yet got there. Take your cigar shops, for instance. Why, they are fifty years behind the age, and when 1 go into ope I get talking with the proprietor, and' ■ying tt» show Mm th* error of his ways, U first h know it’s too late to go any where. ~, 1 ' • “But aliout this hyer tricycle. When bicycles and tricycles came to New Ber- littonolisvilrpj the Professor was mightily interested In them. Not that he ad mired them, but because, as he said, they were unscientific. ’ He demonstrated with not more than half a slateful of figures that it took more exertion to drive a bicycle a, mile than it would take to run thiit mile with a man's own legs. There was no getting around his figures. They proved that a man weigMug a hun dred aud forty pounds and driving an ordinary bicycle at the rate of’ten miles an hour consumed, say, five hundred foot pounds of energy—if anybody knows what that means, and I don’t much be lieve anybody does. Well, the same man could run a mile with the. consuinp 7 tioti of only four hundred pounds, leav ing a surplus of a hundred pounds for the benefit jaf the poor. ‘If these younifc , felhjws that T see on bicycles had any sense,’ said Van Wagener.. ’they would Irive their machines by electricity, and avoid the awful consumption of»energy.’ No sooner had this idea struck him than he proceeded to invent an electric engine for bicycles, and in the course of the summer he had his invention worked out to ,his own satisfaction. The engine’ aud the storage battery took up "a good deal of space, and so the Professor, instead of applying it to a bicyclf, built a big tricycle with seats for two. and fitted his engine to that He calculated that it would drivrt'the tnacMfie for twelve hours at a speed of fifteen miles on a level, and that it would carry two jiersons weighing in the ag gregate 500 lbs. with perfect ease. When the in achine was all finished the Profes sor wheeled it out of this yard and down to a turn in the road where Mrs. Wage- ner couldn't see him, ahd made ready for a start. You see hi* wife was preju diced against his invention*, and always said that he should never try experi ments with new inventions so long as she could prevent it. Just as the Pro lessor was ^limbing aboard the tricyiue, Widow Dumfries comes along, and, be ing young and full of spirits, besides being a mighty sociable sort of woman she told Van Wagener that it looked mighty selfish for him to start out alone, and that if he wanted to be real accom niodating he would, give he* a little ride on his macMne. The Professor never could say no. except to another sclent! fic person: and so he told Mrs. Dumfries to get into the front seat and he would take her down to her house, which was about a” quarter of a mile down the road “The^machine went along all right and the Professor worked his way can tiously along the _main street with his brake on most of the time; but as soon as he got in the outskirts, of the town he turned on the full current and let her whl*. The widow .was delighted, and said that she never enjoyed anything half so much in all her life. Pretty soon the machine came to a middling steep descent in the road., and the Pro- first, but after a little while she suspect ed that, someth ing was wrong. The.

The attitude of Senator Blanchard and the assertions repeatedly made during the jmst week by the Populists that because of their votes heretofore cast In Committee of the Whole in favor of the hill it must not be assumed that they .will necessarily' vote for it under all conditions on the final passage. Some of these rumors go so far as to say that Mr. Allen last week notified Mr. Jones through Mr. Berry that be eould not vote for the Nil. A defection of one vote would put the party Hi charge of the hill In a predicament that would cause serious trouble, and anything tending to wee ten ess in the (ranks of any of the forces pledged to the support at the hill at once becomes « very serious majtter, , Nevertheless when the whole situation is canvaesed there appears to be very little ground for doubt that the bill will pass the Senate substaottally as amend ed. It does not seem certain that the hill can be pushed through the Senate in the two days set apart for that task by Mr. Harris for Mr. HOI, who has was ha tolled at Oette, and alao furnished the names of seven anaivhton who. after the executions of Yaifiaint and Henry, drew lots in order to decide which of them was to kill Carnot.
