I Southern Progress. A monthly, six'.ecn-page journal containing in each number some twenty narra tives of the South, chiefly descriptive and pictorial. The paper is undoubtedly the best illustrated journal in the world, and the only publication which presents glimpses of Southern . life and Southern people. It is a favorite souvenir with those who have visited the South; and it serves a good purpose, in lieu of a visit, to those who have never been there. The regular price of Southern Progress is fifty cents a year, but to introduce the paper we will send it three months for ten cents. FRANK A. HEYTOOD, t Editor and Publisher, 21 1 S.

Bat a week or two ago it wu decided that minor could not be held to installment contracts, and now comes a decision to the effect that beginners injured in rid ing academies cannot recover damages therefor when the Instructors have ex ercised reasonable care in the pert orm nnce of their duties. Justice Scott, in trial term of the New York supreme court, recently dis missed, at the close of the evidence on both ide, an action brought by Flor ence Hhib against Sidney Bowman to recover $10,000 for injuries alleged to be due to the negligence of an employe of the defendant in teaching her how to ride a bicycle. In October, 1895, Mrs. ITass went to the defendant's academy to take a bicycle lesson. She wo en abled to maintain her equilibrium dur ing her maiden efforts to steer a wheel by a strap held by the teacher, and. after t-hu manner of (timid learners, she bepged him not to let go. To let po be ing part of the btutlness of teaching bicycle ridinp, the teacher did so when he thought the pupil sufficiently at home, and as a nstilt of his first disre gard of her entreaties she had a bad fall nml broke the bones of her log. The ac tion wus tried on the theory that the teacher was guilty of carelessness in at tempting to make the pupil' ride alone so soon, and in not preventing her from falling1. The defense was a denial of negli gence, and nonsuit was moved nt the close of the case on the ground that neither the pleading nor the evidence disclosed a cause of action, either on a contract or for a tort. Justice Scott, in refusing to give the ens." to the jury, said: "This lady went to this academy to learn to ride alone, and it was absolutely necessary that nt some time or other the teacher .should let (ro of her;" that it appeared thntthe defendant had cngnged competent and c.ircfnl Instructors, and to hold him 'lable fur sj much of the affair as was not an imfnrstM-n accident would be tan tamount to making him an insurer against, injury by falling of every pat rnn who came voluntarily to learn in his academy, and that no such duty was criniiiinod in his con tract- to teach how to r;!i- the bicycle. Several niemlH-rs of the jury intimnted that had the ease gone to them as a question of negli gence in fact their finding would have beer, for the defendant. WONDERFUL BUT USELESS. A lileyele (icnreil i fiiVJ IiicIh-h I nn. Klrticteil nt Newark for Ailvrr tWInu; I'lir-poMca. The claim of having the highest geared wheel in the world belongs in Newark, according to the Cycling Ga zette, where a dealer has constructed the freak bicycle. When it is said that tin machine U geared so high that no one can ride it it will be conceded that he. has accomplished his point. If an old ordinary were to be constructed of GEARED TO Ko INCHES. the same relative gear it would havo a wheel 555 inches in diameter, in other words the front wheel would be 4V4 feet in height. As it is on the Newark eafcty there are few men in the world who can reaoh from saddle to (iedul, for the distance from the seat to the pedal at its lowest point is about 12 inches. If the freak cycle be ridden each revolution of the pedals would carry the rider 145.29 feet and it would require but 36 revolutions to coven A mile.

On ef 'th thargea aften bra-agat AgaloaV.tt frtrit of the age' is that iaarriag la tha middle or wealthy cir cles of society Is snore beset with eoor rtntionel obstacles than ever before. 'Young men with what was formerly considered a reasonable income 'say they can no longer afford to marry or o engage in courtship, and so they set le down from necessity to a bachelor's life. , But human nature Ja a powerful thing, and occasionally a young man and a young woman break through the artificial barriers and get married with out regard to them. If both are of good character and auited to each other in age, culture and intelligence and are not acting from mere impulse, saya a .writer in the Detroit Free Press, the (question of social caste is not one ap pealing strongly to the general judg ment. The natural order of things is that young men and young women should mate. To a certain extent safe guard q&'iM. 1K-wn about them, but when the marriage problem becomes merely a matter of family ambition na ture will protest, and so will the vast -majority of mankind. A fake view of marriage and the family con destroy a nation and even a race. Marriage Is not intended to be a piece of machinery for family aggrandizement. Elope ments, as a rule, are not to be commend ed. It is a grave step to act counter to parental wishes or advice. Parents should be wise through experience, and affectionate consideration is their due. Hut the pnrent who desires his daugh ter to make n grand match as the first object to be gaiueU by marriage is not well grounded in wisdom. The litera ture of every age cries outagainstsuch a view of marriage. Hundreds of the most powerful books and dramas tear it to pieces. If the course of true love seldom runs smooth, yet it usually reaches its destination, and the world applauds the happy ending. .Marrying exclusively for wealth or position is a reproach, f.ud is generally mentioned with a prediction that it will not turn out well. The lit of the social ship wrecks foundering on that rock is along one in the recollect ion of every one of mature years. Since Josef llofmann, the infant ! prodigy of a few years ago, has nston- ished the world by turningout nnndult genius alio, there has been a revival of the infant prodigy industry. It had fallen into some disrepute owing to the uneventful middle iige of most youthful phenomenon.1;. Cut llofmann lias changed all that. In Chicago there is one of the fresh crop of marvelous babies. lie Is two years old. His mime U Loins Cotter. He sings. At the, age of niuc months he walked; ut 12 he, talked, and at 18 he sang. When his parents heard him singing that classic, "There'll Be. a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night," in perfect tuuc uud time to his sifter's accompaniment they ifelt that his future was assured. Now he sings oil the "popular songs of the day," learning them in a couple of hours. His parents are going to take him on a tour soon. Two popular society young ladies of a Colorado town have for some time bad serious differences over a prominent young man. They were advised by their friends that dueling among ludies was not good form, so they decided to settle the matter with the dice, though the method seemed trivial. One of the contestants hod thrown four sixes and her countenance plainly indicated that she expeoted to win. The other had thrown once, with a pair of fives, when the aforesaid young man appeared un announced upon the scene. The pair of fives looked so small in comparison with the four sixes, while to the fair gambler the young man looked the same na ever he did, and at sight of him her courage failed her and she cast the dice box from her. The game was not finished neither is the conquest. It ia interesting to observe that the CejeVS fttt aaB Jought five wara in Cm 0 ftKWCMm the declarations an KflHflf fiB MM ef our nation.

AMERICAN BICYCLES. Tliry Are Immvnai-ly I'opnlnr In Ger many, Swllserlnnil niitictlier European Coonlrlin. A series of consular reports has been made to the state department showing the wonderful progress of the trade jn lAmcricnn bicycles In Cicrmnny, Switzer land, and Ireland In particular. Hither to the (Jerninn cycle manufacturers have urged their government not to us sess a higher duty on imported bicycles as fT.ch, but to classify the.m for duty under Paragraph 470 of the present law as upholstered carriages, dutiable at 130 marks ($37.50) each, wliieh would be of course prohibitory. This would require no new legislation, but merely an administrative decision, giving to bieyvles, which were not an article cf commerce when the law was enacted, and are not therefore specifically men tioned therein, an arbitrary and unjust classification, under which each cyoic would pay the same duty as a four wheeled carriage. As this would apply to all imported bicycles those of Eng lish and Belgian manufacture as well as American aud thereby militate against certain-commercial treaties, the decision, notwithstanding the frantic appeals of the German makers, has not yet been gtven. Meanwhile the lead ing American cycle manufacturers are stocking their depots in Germany with full supplies for the incoming season And are preparing to establish auxiliary factories there whenever the prohib itory edict may fall. Popular opinion, even In Oermany, is distinctly on the elde of the American manufacturm, wlvose products have not only cheap ened hot greatly improved the stand ard of, excellence In bicycle construc tion, whereas all the principal German makers have earned large Incomes from .both their home And -export trade and are not therefore considered to be in a strong position to demand new and ex treoMinary protection. ' 1 A short time ago the Impression-prevailed thai American wheels were too light for Irish roads, and that, the wooden rims used were not suitable for the damp climote. It would now ap pear that the public ie no longer of this opinion. Not only have he light Amer ican machines become popular and their lasting qualities been proven, but British manufacturers have been com pelled to build lighter machines to suit the publio demand. "Another feature which is liked in American machines Is the longer - crauk and higher gear. While the British machine has a six inch crank And 60-lnch gear, the Amer ican will have a aeven or seven and a quarter-Inch crank and 70-inch gear. ' Tba DtaTereAe la Genre. . .The French And English cracjts use gears much higher than the class Amer ican riders. Ninety to 84 inches is a oommon gear with the former, and T? to 84 Inchea wiUk tfce latter.
