THE PANIC.
The greet financial storm seems to be
Rtsbeiding, and matters to Manme their
nrial channels. The banks are slowly
warning perm' nt, and confidence aetms
to be reatored in them. We amora-ely
hope by oar next publication to be able
to my that the cicada are all braabed
away am n the commercial sky, and that
business baa been renamed in mil its de
partment*. _
NOT ABANDONED.
The signal failure of the late balloon
enterprise do** not seem to bare damp
ened either the ardor or weakened the
faith at the projector* of thaa great
acfceme for navigating the air. The pro
prietors at the Graphic are reported to
be hard at work upon another balloon,
and learning wiadom from experience,
will correct several errors made ia their
first. The aeeond are-sliip ia to be con
structed on a anperior plan, and of the
beat material regardless of expense*.—
The advice of the moat experienced bal
loonists has been sought, and every pos
sible precaution taken to make the sec
ond attempt a auooeaa. We have no
comment* to offer, or anr predictions to
make, bat Hand by and watch the pro
gram of affairs with much interest, know
ing that while the glory of the achieve
ment will belong to those who have done
so much to accomplish it, the benefit
will accrue to the world.
The proprietors of the Graphic are
not note alone interested in air naviga
tion. ‘There is another Richmond in
the Arid,” and Mr. P. T. Barn urn steps
to the front. It has always been Mr. P.
T. Banium’t ambition to succeed in that
whetein other men had failed, and with
that intent the great showman has come
asst with the following letter, which ex
plains itself:
In reply to the boat of letters from all
part. of the country, I wish to say that
if a balloon does not cross the Atlantic
the prorent autumn, I will spend $50,000
if neoeaaary in having that feat attempt
ed, and if possible acpompliahed, as
early as may be, provided one or more
aeronauts can be found in America or
Europe who have faith in its auocom, and
will heartily attempt it. accomplishment.
Mr. Queen, the balloonist, who has
made upwards of 600 ascensions, told
me in London, twenty-eight yean* ago,
that he had no doubt the Atlantic could
be safely crossed in a balloon in from
jwo fa> thre days, and be offered to at
tempt it if I would provide the funds.—
I am already in correspondence with
aeveral aeronauts in France anil England,
and, although I shall prefer to have the
honor given to an American, I have no
doubt that the great feat will be acootn
jdiabod within a twelve months. 1 will
have the silk manufactured in China,
pat together and prepared under the di
rection of ecientific men in London, an
experimental ascension made from the
Sydenham Crystal Palace grounds, then
bring the balloon to America and at
tempt the traus-Atlantic trip from New
York. I trust that the public believe
that if I put my hand to the plow 1 shall
not look back. P. T. Bahnvu.
Buried Alive.
Hie farm and the commodious home
stead of Henry Niemeyer is situated two
miles from this rilliage, on the road
towards Hampden. Last Monday after
noon Niemeyer had six bright, healthy
children ail of tender ages, romping
away their happy hours, as careless of
impending evil as the butterfly. Before
•rearing the mortal harvester had garnered
three of them.
Shortly after 2 o’clock, Mrs. Neimeyer
•aw three of her little boys at the front
gate. The youngest was crying, and
she seat the sister out to play with them
for a while, and to bring him in for a
nap. This was the last time she ever
saw her three chiKlren alive. Thirty or
forty rods from the house, and three or
four rods back from the highway, ia a
little kndl which contains good sand,
many loads of which have been drawn
•way, from time to time. The excava
tion which remains is trifling, however,
and a passer by would as soou suspect
danger to be lurking in a door-yard as
in that slight depression. Formerly,
this had been a favorite resort for the
children, bat they had been forbidden to
go there, and had even been punished for
so doing, and had not visited the place
for a long time. Doubtless, they wan
dered down that way, and could not
resist the fascination that sand has for
all tiny hands. That afternoon Mr.
Starkweather, without Niemeyer s knowl
edge, had aent Fred Hicks to the . pot
after one at more loads. Probably the
oavity left was hardly of sufficient size to
back a cart into. The surface is of clay
or loan; the rains of Saturday night had
rendered it heavier than usual, aud it
fell just at that time of all others, when
those innocents were beneath it.
Thus suddenly their play-house be
came their tomb. How long they re
mained there is not exactly known.
There was an interval of something more
than an hour between their leaving the
gate and their discovery. The little boy
Willie, who was taken out alive, beard
teams passing at intervals along the
lead, but, partially covered as he was,
his cries were too feeble to attract atten
tion. Once Emma called and said faintly
through the sand, “Willie, where are
yon 7" The child answered “Here,” as
well as he could. Afterwards he caught
the wolds, “Are you going home?”
Then followed for tome time a sound of
gobbing and catching for breath, and
then all was still. The puny struggling*
were as nothing against the great con
queror.
j Niemeyer was at work about the barn
and bouse, and several times asked for
the children. Presently an elder sister
was sent to look for them. At l**t she
went to the sand-pit. Only a portion of
Willie’s hair was visible through the
clay, and his exhausted cries were hardly
. audible. She taw the whole disaster in
s moment and flew back to her father.
He is at the fatal spot almost in an in
stant. The casting aside of two or three
handfuls of earth uncovers Willie’s head.
Alive, thank God ! He runs nimbly
away aa he ia pulled from the sand. It
is the work of only a moment to scrape
away the ciay and sand to the next one.
It is Otto, aged three years and five
months. He will never be any older.
Dead, quite dead! In Mother instant
the pretty face of Emma is uncovered.
A single glance tells us that the spirit
escaped imprisonment before the body
did. Heartrendering work is it for a
father to do. Just at this juncture the
mother arrives with a shovel, a move
ment or two of which reveals Oscar, aged
one year and ten months. It is dark to
him now in the sunny fields as it was in
the horrible pit. The earth has givpn
them up; but it is only that they may be
coffined and returned to it. The father
and mother may sit down by their dead
bsltiea and weep, for they can do noth
ing more.— Colombo* ( Wi*. ) Democrat.
