The London Lancet condemns tho ex
cessive use of the bicyclo as very injur
ious to th health. It claims that the
position of tho rider upon the bicycle is
such as to throw an undue weight of tho
Uxly uion the pelvis and its organs by
which they are seriously affected and ul
timately permanently injured. The
Lancet is of the opinion that in tho caso
of rowin boys tho system is liable to lo
seriously affected and that all excess in
this cla.'s of exercise should be carefully
avoided.
An item is going the rounds of the ex

The Teliouam deems it proper to make

in a great measure the ideas of European
higher orders," and tries to bo aesthetic
''and nil that sort of tlung, you know,"
the blooming damsels of the rowdy West,
particularly those of the Pacific slope with
golden ducats, are sought by these noble
scions of European civilization, to tho ex
clusion of the girls from the Harvard An
nex, Vasar, etc. Thus w ith titles of no
bility does the rowdy West revenge itself
npori the Eastern mugwumps.
The Detroit wf of yesterday gave
publication to a fact which has been
known to Tnn Tr.Li:ni:M for some little
tiuv. namely that Senator Conger will in
all probability resign his o'lice and 1k
seated upon the Supreme loneh in the
District of Columbia at an early date. In
its surraisinor. as tit Mr. Conger's succes

ble candidates, the names of Col. Frank

gressmen Lacey, Horr, Cutcheon ami
Hn it ung. Congressman-elect Harrows
and Hon. Jay Hubbelh The 'ovf is more
generous in the rmmIorof its candidates
than judicious in their selection. Not
only on th issue of locality, but on ac
count of idiility, popularity and general
liualitlcation for tho duties of tho high
oll'ce, there are gentlemen in this city
who d erve the honor of tho Senatorship
equally wilh any candidate named. The

using every endeavor to allay the fever

the leaders of Ixjih sales and counselling
a it.-iicaable hubmiaaioii to the result. His
course in public life has ever been tliat of
a clear-headed, honest and patriotic

CUR RENT COMMENT.
Ixtetou iW (Dem.): We've got 'em.
Now it remains for us to show that we do
served to get 'em.
Buffalo Courier (Dem.): The picture on
the tirst page of the current number of
Harjier'a Weekly is designed to make
every Southerner who sees it go out and
shoot a negro.
Birmingham (Ala.) Aye: Wo hope
President-elect Cleveland gill give a sub
stantial recognition of tho Independents
who supported him. They might be made
just as good Democrats as any of us.
Buffalo K a-prcs (Hep.): If Mr. Blaine
I i vet and keeps his health four years, wo
believe that the Republicans will nomi
nate him again, and that a unitcnl North
will then elect him, in spite of all that the
Solid South can do.
Albany Journal: Bather than proving
that the election of a great Republican is
imKssible, tho defeat of Mr. Blaine
creates those conditions which must lead
to his success or to tho success of a man
like him if such there bo in the Repub
lican party in the not distant future.
Cincinnati Commercial (Rop.): The aw
ful announcement is made that Governor
Cleveland has directed his private secre
tary to destroy all letters containing an
application for office, without showing
them to him. This, to au oluce-seeker, is
like inserting an icicle under Ins night
dress when ho is dreaming.
Philadelphia licdorJ: Tho cheery
gobble of the Thanksgiving turkey will
soon succeed to the shrill clarion of tho
campaign rooster, and the gloomy caw of
tho campaign crow. Let it! It is a much
more agreeable sound, and tho Bird of
Two Meats that Benjamin r ranklin wise
ly preferred, as a national emblem to our
eagle, is an infinitely pleasanter subject
for discussion.

A SIX-YEAR-OLD HERO.
How lie Saved a riajmut from Drowning.
IN. Y. Truth.
Harlem has a little hero of which tt
should be, and no doubt is, justly proud.
He 1 just six years of age, and bing
rather small for his years, still wears short
dresses and luxuriant ringlets. Despite
his extremo youth, his diminutive size and
curls, however, he has already rescued a
life, and those who witnessed his heroism
are still wondering where ho got th
strength to do iU The juvenile life-saver

Beated on the piazza of Captain Morn
aghan'a boat house, at the foot of East
One Hundred and Twenty-first street, yes
terday afternoon, wero several gentlemen.
They were discussing various topics and
watching a party of children playing on
the iloat below them. Willie O'Brien and
a lad a year or two older, and somewhat
larger, narnd Fritz Mischol, were among
the youngsters who were having good
sport launching blocks of wood that were
supposed to represent miniature ships.
Tbe mm on the piazzi watched the little
ones with a laay sort of interest whilo thy
talked, until a shrill cry raujr, out on tlta
air, which caused thera to jump up from
thir seats and look intently at the chil
dren from whom the scream proceeded
Th"y j-nt barelv saw the lex ol young
Fritz Misehel, who had ten reaching out
on th water to secure a block of wood and
had lost his Labinc, disappAr beneath
the sarffte? of the w.ter. The other chib
dren cried out with terror at the fate of
thir companion, and all the men made an
immediate rush to save the bny'i life.
As the float is reached by rather a ttp

Qiit? rtrcer.tly a "tlemaa living in
Pittilurgh rtsceivod u letter from hU oa,
who resid in tLe State of Missouri, noti
fying him of the death of a la4y connec
tion cf tho family, named Mr. ilou
whose demise occurred near the town of
Mexico, Ma ler death recall one cf
thorn lncl !nu of tha war which read
more like a romance than the narration of
a sober fact," remarked the recipient of
the le'.U-r tj a Ledj?r reporter. "Some
time about the period of the war a youug
MUsourian, who had been married but a
few month-, feeling that the demands of
his country were stronger than thosa of
Lome, Lid farewell to his lovely wife aud
enlisted in the army of the north. But a
short time after hi enlistment a letter an
nounced the arrival of a youn stranger in
the family circle, and the soldier applied
for permission to go home on a furlough
to see his otT-tpririg. The perinlasion was
granted a month or two later, and, filled
with joyful anticipation of the glad meet
ing that would hail his return, ha started
Voin Virginia for his home. Missouri at
this time was overrun with a set of men,
who pursued a regular guerrilla war
fare, ami were called bushwhackers
From the bushes that hedged the roadsides
they sent their murderous bullet to the
hearts of unsuspecting travelers who
passed their place of concealment, and
many are the tales of how they rode up
at night, firing through the windows of
humble dwellings, killed the innocent men
who were sitting ut the fireside surround
ed by their little ones. Our soldier had
arrived within three miles of his home one
dark night, when he was seized by one of
these bands of guerillas as he was riding
along a lonely road, and by them strung
up to a tree. His body was cut down the
next day by his friends and interred in
the village churchyard. As the years
rolled by time softened the sorrow of his
widow, so that when her hand was sought
by a wealthy neighbor, whose name was
Wijson, she consented to the marriage.
Time &ped along on rapid wing. The war
had been ended, and only tho reunions of
veterans and the stories of battle-scarred
men kept tho scenes of theconflict vividly
in the mind. Ever since the close of the
rebellion It has been the custom of a body
of men styling themselves 'Members of
the Lost Cause,' to meet at stated periods
in various sections of the country. Wil
son was a member of this organization,
and in the course of events his house was
selected as the placo of their reunion. On
tho evening when they met there, Wilson
and several of tvie men were chatting to
gether in one room, recalling the esca
pades they had been engaged In person
alty during the war, while his wife was in
an adjoining room, engaged in some
household work. During the conversation
Wilson remarked to one of the men: 'I
have always felt sorry that we did not let
that young man follow go homo and see
h s wife and child, as he begged so hard to
bo allowed to do before wo hung him up.'
At that moment Mrs. Wilson appeared in
the room with her face blanched to the
whiteness of snow, and in hurried words
asked: 'Wilson, were you one of the men
who helped to hang that man?' He replied
that he wh 'Then, raid she, 'we must
separate. I can never forgive you. That
man was my husband.' So they parted.
O.i his d athbed Wilson bequeathed to her
and the daughter she ha I borne him a
large estate. Her son by her first husband
was a del'c.itj Jad, and inherited from his
father a handsome competency. Before
ho attained his majority he died from con
sumption. Just before his death he held a
conversation with his mother, during
which he paid he didn't believe the crime
of the father should be mado a burden on
the shoulders of his, step-sister, and asked
his mother if svie had any o' jction to his
lenving the property to the daughter Tf
Wilson. She replied that she didn't caro
what disposition ho made of ir, and he be
queathed it to his step-sister. His mother
only survived him a lew wee's, as hei
affection seemed to have been wrapped up
in him, and the letter announces her death.
So runs tho world away.' '
Arresting the llritlsh NobUitj.
Cheyenne Special.!
A letter received by Governor Hal 3 from
Mammoth Hot Springs, In the Yellow
atone Park, contains additional informa
tion concerning tho enforcement of the law
there. The first arresta which were made
wero heartily approved of by the hotel
people and all residents of the Park. On
tho following day three visitors of the
Park were arrested. They were members
of the British nobility. They had been
through the Park, and when they came
back they were loaded down with speci
mon, which they had chopped off from
various curiosity ledges, and proposed, to
carry away with Cjem.
The storm of indignation which followed
tho arrests was a caution. Hollert, one of
the hotel proprietors, was particularly
ou' raged. Judge Budlong, an a'torney at
t::e Park, was employed by the officers,
and he wont ahead with the prosecution.
Tho visitors and the hotel people appealed
to th? newly appointed Superintendent,
the Hon. IL E. Carpenter. That gentleman
locked over the law, and then stated that
the r fillers w.re fully authorized and were
correct in their action, and ho congratu
lated tho official upon the fulfilment of
tVir duty. The result of the examination
wa that the titled gentleman were con
victed and wre compiled to pay their
fines. Hie sentiment is rapidly gaining
ground that the law amount to jsome-
thinj?,'and it is bdng pretty clearly dem
otntrafed that th officer intend to strict
ly enforce it.
