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.

The bicycle, la dm pha or another
of it career, la juat sow engaging the
attention of man legal authorities, and
before long1 we ahaJl have precedents
enough established to aettle every bl
cyola cut before It goea on trial. 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.

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

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. A an advertisement, however,
the affair is said to be proving its vain.

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

of niuc months he walked; ut 12 he,

"There'll Be. a Hot Time in the Old

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.

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
