The practibility of these carriages
seems to be, placed beyond doubt. Since
1592 they have been growing in favor
in France, and the only wonder is that
we have not seen them over here before
now. The future would appear to be
long to them, if all be true, and we can
hardly doubt the bona fides. They are
us easily worked as a tricycle prob
ably ensier. A novice, as many witness,
is able upon the first trial to drive his
carriage over 200 miles in 2 days of
10 hours apiece. Tourists have wan
dered over half a dozen departments in
them, and the taste is spreading every
day. Soon the enthusiasm will reach
Kngland, and then well, it is difficult
to say what will happen then.
For among the great advantages of
the petroleum carriage is its remarkable
cheapness. The cost of a carriage is
not much in the first instance. They
are built, as we have said, with touching
fidelity to old forms. There is the dog
cart, the wagonette, the phaeton, the
"break" and the "mylord, ' as our
French friends have it. From a purely
lay contemplation of these vehicles, we
ore not disposed to think that finality
has been reached in regard to their
shape.
When the first railway carriages were
constructed, either out of loving con
servatism or from a desire not to of
fend, they were built upon the line of
the stage coach and colored to match.
In time they uchieved their own inde
pendence and individuality. Messrs.
l'auhard and Levassorwillpicbably find
time and experience ripen their in
vention in this respect. At present a
voiture a deux places cost 108; a
voiture a quartre places forme dogcart
routs 200; the phaeton, 212, and
the "mylord'' heads the price list at
240. These cannotbe reckoned ex-
travagunt prices. And when you have
once purchased a voiture to your taste
the saving seems amazing.
To begin with, two horses can bedis-
a riled; and horses, we believe, are
roughly estimated to cost 25 or 30
n yenr apiece to keep. A purchaser of a
petroleum carriage reckons that it cost
him from l.SOf. to 2f. a duy. The manu
facturer s reckoning is 4c. per kilometer
for a 2-sentcd carrluge and 5c. for a
4-seated carriage; let us say, on an
average, .something between a half
penny and 3 furthings a mile.
Conipure this with the expenses of
horses. 1't us say a cab horse cost
some 30, and Is available for three
years; that conntitutes a yearly charge
of 12. Add to thia 25 for fond and
keeping, and we get a total of 37. The
initiul outlay on the vehicle tnuy be Ig
nored, as we arc also Ignoring the Initiul
coat of a voiture. A horse, year in and
year out, would hardly do more than 15
miles a day. Out of thrKC figures, which
are, of courw, rough, one inuy deduct
something like tvoenee a mile as the
root of a horse rnrriuge. The advan
tage ia in favor of the petroleum car

Lord Bramwell' Piety.
The late Lishop of Winchester is said
to have possessed, among his many
other qualities, that of sarcasm. A good
story is told of a retort he made to the
late Iiord Bramwell, who, meeting him
on his way back to his room to take oil
his robea after reading prayers in the
house of lords, apologized for bavins:
been absent from the ceremony. "When
1 kneel down it gives me palpitation of
the heart," said Lord Uiamwell; "and
it would not be respectful for me to sit
or stand while your lordahip was pray
ing." Bishop Thorold, perhaps know
ing almost as much about the old
baron s sanctity as did Lord Bramwell
himself, answered, In measured tones:
'Pray do not mention it, Lord Bram
well 1 I am aura your lordship can be
equally devout whether you are stand
lug, kneeling, or sitting I will not any
lying!" The playful old Judge after
warda Inquired who bad read prayers
that afternoon, and, on being told, re
marked, with a sparkle in his eyes:

NAPOLEON SLEPT THERE.
Memories of llonsnarte's Visit to Polish
Peasant's Cottage.
The French consul at Warsaw, the
capital of Russian Poland, recently re
ceived a request from a peasant that he
aid him in repairing his cottage, which
was falling into ruin. It was In this
cottage that Napoleon Bonaparte spent
a day ana a night in December, mm,
The cottage stands five versts from the
fortress of Nowogeorgiewsk, in the lit-
1 le village of Okunlw, on the bank of the
Itiver Narcw. It was while superin
tending the passage of hia troopa across
this river that Napoleon occupied the
peasant a cottage.
Above the door tbeae words are
carved deep in the wood: "Palais de
l'Eropereur, 1c 23 decembre 1806. An
other inscription, this in Latin, Is
carved upon a black marble slab set
In one of the walls of the house snd
conveys substantially the same mean
ing. It la not known by whom the tab
let wns placed or who carved the words
over the door, but it ia assorted that
they date from the time of Napoleon's
visit. The present occupant of the cot
tage is a direct descendant of hi in who
entertained Ikinapurte beneath hla
roof, and the report made by the French
consul aaya thut the M-asant tells with
enthusiasm the details of the ImjwriHl
vlait, which had been handed down
from generation to generation, and that
he exhibits to visitors a statuette of the
emperor, which shows him aeated on
a throne with the world beneath his
feet. This statuette ia very old, snd the
peaaant regards It with the utmost
reverence.

An Interesting Incident of Early Travel
Recalled by a Coincidence of Dates
Discoveries of Great Im-
i . I
The phenomenal time record made by
the New York Central & Hudson River
Ralroad company, on the 11th day ot
September, 18U5, recalls an interesting
coincidence of dates ot Bpecial interest
in the city of Albany.
On the 11th day of September, 1609,
Henry Hudson, after making several
unsuccessful attempts to discover 'a
northeast passage around the conti
nent, under the direction of the Anglo-
Dutch East India company, entered the
Hudson river, terminating his trip at
the head of the navigable waters in the
vicinity of Albany, which he named
'the New Netherlands."
Hudson did not make the rapid transit
of 65 1-3 miles per hour, nor Is it pos
sible that his sailing record compared
favorably with the speed of the Defend
er or the Valkyrie, but the result of his
discoveries was of vastly more impor
tance, as it indicated the route which
was destined to be followed in the march
ot civilization and the development ot
this continent, and has done more for
the advancement of science and the
arts than any section of the earth re
corded in history.
It was here that the first meeting of
the colonial representatives was held,
resulting in the preliminary steps for
the establishment of the present re
publican form of government. ,
It was here that Clinton and his co
adjutors, taking advantage of the nat
ural topographical route provided by
nature, inaugurated the canal system,
connecting the waters of the Hudson
with the lakes, which was the pioneer
movement for inland transportation,
and wns followed by the more rapid
railroad system rendered necessary by
the demands of commerce. It waa here '
that the first institute for the develop-
inent of science and the arts and the
promotion of agriculture waa Incor
porated by Stephen Van Rensselaer and
others, wnlch Is still in existence.
It was here that Dr. Nott provided the
first plan In the introduction of the
grate bar, by which coal could be suc
cessfully used na fuel.
It waa here tiiat Mttleflcld brought
Into use the first self-feeding base-burning
stove.
It waa here thnt Squire Whipple first
reduced to science the art of bridge
building, erecting a traprgoldal truss
bridge of Iron, and presenting formulas
for Hcvenil structures.
It waa here Hint Prof. Henry snd Dr.
Tenl'yck strung miles of wire around
the walls of the Allmny academy, dem
onstrating lb practical tiae of elec
tricity sa a iower and In the traimmia
slon of message, which was Immedi
ately applied by Prof. Mora by the us
of hla atphalict.
And it waa here, at the West Allmny
shop of the railroad company, that
William Buchanan, superintendent of
motive power, planned and constructed
