The Velocipedehalfa Century Ago.
William Howitt, in his .Visits to Re
markable Places, a book published in 1841,
makes mention of the velocipede, on this
wise. The passage is taken from a de
scription of Alnwick castle, the ancient
seat of the Percy family: "Among the
curiosities laid up here are two velocipedes
—machines which twenty years ago were
for a short period much in vogue. One
young man of my acquaintance rode on
one of these wooden horses all the way
from London to Falkirk in ScotiancLanci was
requested at various towns to exhibit his
management of it to the ladies and gentle
men of the place; he afterwards made a
long excursion in France upon it. Ife was
a very adroit velocipedian, and was always
very much amused with the circumstan
ces of a gentleman meeting him on the
highway by the river side, who, request
ing to be allowed — to try it, and being
shown how he must turn the handle in
order to guide it, set off with great spirit,
but turning the handle the wrong way,
soon found himself hurrying to the edge of
the river, where, in his flurry, instead of
turning the handle the other way, he be
gan lustily shouting "whoa! whoa!" and so
crying plunged headlong into the stream.
The duke's horse, which he laid up here
for the gratification of posterity, was Ibe
lieve, not so unruly; yet I was told its
pranks caused it to be disused, and here
stabled. It is said that the duke and his
physicians used to amuse themselves with
careering about the grounds on these
steeds; but one day, being somewhere on
the terrace, his grace's Trojan steed cap
sized and rolled over and over with him
down the green bank, much to the amuse
ment of a troop of urchins who were
mounted on a wall by the road to witness
this novel kind of racing. On account of
this accident the velocipede was laid up in
lavender, and a fine specimen of the breed
it is.

If they can not make up thedifference out

Oui bondsin London went up SLI on

growing confidence in our securities and. a

more immediately by the passage of the

This Company, National in its character,
offers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates
of" Premium and New Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the
public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced
are made as favorable to the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the
latter are so apt to cause the Policy-Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME-PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN
PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, the policy
holder not only secures a life insurance, payable
at death, but will receive, if living, after a
period of a few years an annual income opal to ten
per scat. (10 per cent.) of the par of his policy. In the
latter, the Company agree to return to the assuceld
the total amount of money he has paid in, in addition to
the amount of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of In
surance they already have, is called to the
special advantages offered by the National Life
Insurance Company.
