Mr Rennet Burleigh, the Daily Teh • graph correspondent, in the course of » letter dated Standerfcon, November 21, says ;—At last we are going to war !u tir fashion. A head quart era order ie coming out, It is said, for the peremptory cutting down of all transport and baggage. Book waggons, that were bedrooms and saloons combined upon wheels, wherein certain column leaders leisurely and luxuriously campaigned, are to become things of tht past upon trek. The chefs will probably , go or stay behind with the cooking sfcovw t which have also to be discarded. So, too, with the Cape carts; thai) carried the officers' excellent mid day lunches, with the drapery, crystal ware, winea, tablet. and chairs. Yea, even the extra* of comfort, the changes of raiment, the bedsteads, mattresses, plllowi, portable conveniences, and what not, bealdet musical Instruments, light literature* sporting gans, and gear—all, all must bt left behind, for each officer shall only carry 30ibs of baggage and no more

One of the latest contrivances is two bicycles yoked together by ft patented arrangement, which keeps them at the prescribed distance each from the other and practically converts the two ma* chines into one suitable for two per* sons. The ' coupler,' as it is called can be attached or detached iniide of five minutes; it is easily adjusted, nnd idds only about 51bs to the weight of eacb tnachine t It is admitted that the coupler might be made ev«a lighter than this, but it would be at the sacrw ! fice of stability, and an unreliable con. ! trivance would be worse than useless. With this affair any make of cycle cm be used, and the two machines are so held together that the turning of one front fork produces a corresponding change in the direction of the front wheel. Thus there is no danger of wrenching or swaying apart. The most important advantage accruing to this coupler is that it allows of husband and wife, brother and sister, two ladies parent snd child, a partial invalid and attendant, expert and beginner, or even two novices to ride together/ For these reasons it should not only fhid a sale amongst those who possets bicycles, but should also tend to stimu* late the sale of cycles to those hitherto fearful of riding.. The coupler is neat <r.d graceful in appsarance, is made of firsuclasa weldless steel tubing, and rp'ckel-plated and enamelled.
