the pellef of the treasury,”^oF for tho
coupons of such bonds. Tho court
decides that the Act to authorize a
loan for the relief of tho treasury, ap
proved 17th February, 18C9, (14th Stat
utes of S. p. 182 ) violates Section 7,
Article 9, of the Constitution, first, lu
that it purfttrts to cteate a debt which
was not for the purpose of defraying
expenditures, and second, in that the
debt therein sought to b« created is
not for some single object, and such
object is not distinctly specified there
in ; und, therefore, every bond, to
gether with its coupons, issued under
the onthorlty of this act is absolutely
void, even lu the hands of a bona fide,
holder, Because Issued without any
authority whatever ; and hence every
Consolidation bond resting upon such
bonds or coupons is, to the extent that
it does rest thereon, not a valid debt
of the Stale.
2 i. .Such us were Issued in exchange
for the second issue of bonds under
an act entitled •• An act to authorize a
State loan to pay interest on the pub
lic debt,” or the coupons ot such bonds-

for those Conversion bands which were
issued in exchange for either of the
two classes of bonds last mentioned,
viz: Bonds for relief bf thp treasuqy
and the second issne of bonds to p.-^y
interest on the public debt, or in ex
change for the coupons of such Con-
vcrslon bonds,
Secondly. If any Ckmaolldntion Bond
rests wholly upon any of these object
ionable classes of bonds or coupons
just mentioned, then It is wholly void j
but if it rests only in part upou sucb
objectionable bonds or coupons, then
It is only void to the extent which it
does rest upon such objectionable
-bonds or eduponB, and for the balaooe
it is a valid obligation of the State.
TblnJIyr That the burden ol proof
is upon tho State to show that any
particular bond which may be brought
into question docs rest either in whole
or iu part upon such objectionable
bonds or coupons, and if in part only,
then the State must show what part
is so affected.

Imagined...^Parties of these lusty
tramperasfkrt every-day toward all
points of tho compass. It is ouo of
the amusements of' the Germane,
French or other cosmopolite tourists
to see those hardy pleasure seekers set
out.iho men in tho coarse durable
clothing which the Brltish of all ranks
cover their big flnribs with, and the
women not a whit behind them in
stuff gowns that shed rain and don’t
show dust or the travel-stains of the
road. Many of them coma provided
with the big bicycles which are now
the mania of tho English youth. These
groups are, of''course, compelled to
confine themselves to the volley whore
the smoother roads are found, though
there arcadventujous spirits who have
actually traversed a largo part of
Switzerland on these precarious ve
hicles
The longlegs of tho race have neces
sitated enormous machines. I have
seen these two wheels whirling like
express trains along the Baden roads,
even up ihe bills, GO iofibos in dia
meter. Think of working the treadle
oL such a circumference? As now
constructet^iho bicycle is a far differ
ent thing from the clumsy “bone shat-
ffTB‘ATB7Hcarabout CSp
years ego. Great companies have
been formed in England which do noth
ing else but fabricate these extraord
inary vehicles; and you hear yotiqg
men talk about tho superior speed of
a “Convemry,” a “Sparrow” or a
“Stanley." The fore wheel being 60-
inches, tho bacK-wbeel is so small
that when the machine is in motion
you can hardly see i*. It is, by regu
lation, not two feet In diameter. In
deed the appearance presented as these
enormous flashing circles dart past
on tbo smooth road is that of a hoop
of glittering steel with a human figure
perched on tho top of it. Tho spokss
are thin cords of steel wire, tending
iuto the lire from a very wide hub.

consequence, to learn to manage one
requires about sscb a training as an
equestrian undergoes in a riding
school, with this difference of draw
back, that even when you have master
ed tho difllculty of keeping your peril
ous soot you are uua\>le tc quit it, or,
having quitted it you are enable to re
mount, without aid. This, as you will
see, neutralizes the vhlue of these fas
cinating motors as means of Journey
ing in strange districts. But, in spite
of all their .drawbacks, you meet
“mounts” of them by the dozen on oil
the smooth roads of the Palatinate,
where the danger of sharp ascents and
incessant traffic do not seem to dl«-
couiago ths adventurous Briton. '
The accidents are not the least inter
esting part of this charming steed.
You may bo admiring six feet of flesh
and blood perched far above you on
the high rood, which of a sudden, like
a flash, you see the small rear wheel
lisqfrott tue ground and climb the
backbone of ths big one ; then you sue

however, la to save the frail mechan

than S150, and from that down to $50.
At such a price It would be natural tb
suppose that they would be scarce,
but, on the contrary, all claases of the
continental English have them. I saw
a company consisting of a dozen young
Oxford men set oat from Strasbourg
for Cologne—one hundred and fifty
miles away. There was a younger ton
of a Duke, the son a Cabinet minister,
a minister’s son, and the rest middle-
class English. The captain of the par
ty was a city merchant’s boy, and be

The staid Deutechers have been edifi
ed of late by the appearance of a "tri
cycle,” a machine with one fore-wheel
and two back-wheels. The fore-wheel
is worked by the husband and the two
back-wheels by the wife or sister or
sweetheart or whoever may be seated
upon thO back seat. This is very com
fortable and very easily moved. It

Trade In

Circassian
A Constantinople letter in the Faria ffW P cr80na have seen it.
Temps gives some interesting details
of the slave trade in Turkey. , The
hundreds of girls who form-part of the
harem, are, hortvers, mostly Circassian
slaves. The household of every Turk
who is at all well off, be he a pasha, a
bey or a plain effeudl, is stocked with
a neitaln tfu'mber ot thee? slaves. They
are generally supphed bj Circassian
families settled lu the Empire. The
parents, when they havtfdaughtfers at
all well favored, bring them up Careful
ly with* viswto tbelr being sold. Touts
go about the provinces every year,
just as horse-dealers travel in the
horao-breediog regions of England,
Frapoe and Hungary, and buy the girls
from their parents. They are brought
to Constantidople, and tbere quartered
until finally disposed of in bouses
which are well known to all old resi
dents In the Turkish capital. Borne of
these houses are in Tophaneb, on the
Bosphorus, and in th# quarters of the
Hultan Mehemet find the Ayret bazaar.
Though they are not sold quite pub
licly, thero is no concealment about
the transaction. The terms of the
sale are set down In a contract regis
tered by the chief courts, which oon-
tract proylJ.es for the lights of
buyer in the event of his purchase
being equal to the warranty, or of the
olave making her escape. Tbo con
tract authorizes the purchaser, when
tired of his bargain, to sell both the
mother and her child, and it appears
that this occurs daily,
