<£Jje Constitntiotudist AUGUSTA, OA.: Sunday Morning. November 7, 1875. The Burden-Bearer. O the blessed promise, given on the hills of Galilee To the weary, heavy laden, still is made to you and me. Many a heart has thrilled to hear it, Many a tear been wiped away. Many a load of sin been lifted. Many a midnight turned to day. Many a broken, contrite spirit, lonely, sor rowing, sad, Felt the mighty consolation—heard the heavenly tidings glad. And the dying gazed with rapture. Trusting in the Saviour’s name; On tho land of rest and refuge, When the Burden-Bearer came. Lazarus lies unfed and fainting. Peter sinks beneath the wave, Loving Mary lingers sadly, near the Sav iour’s guarded grave. Blind Bartimeus, by the wayside, Begs his bread disconsolate; For the moving of the waters, At the pool the suffering wait. In the wilderness the lepers wandered out cast in their pain; Paul and Silas in the prison, bear the fetter and the chain; Mary Magdalen is weeping, Friendless in her sin and shame— But their burdens all were lifted When the Burden-Bearer came. Every phase of human sorrow fills the path we tread to-day; Harps are hanging on the willows, souls are fainting by the way. But there still is balm in Gilead, And though here on earth we weep, God within the many mansions, Giveth His beloved sleep. On the cloud His rainbow glitters, shines the star of faith above; God will not forsake or leave us— let us trust his truth and love. And beyond the shining river, We shall bless his holy name. That to bear our sins and sorrows, Christ, the Burden-Bearer, came. CURRENT TOPICS. The Cause of the Defeat. New York, November 3.—A special dis patch from Philadelphia says the chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania gives as the cause of the de feat of tho party, that the men in New York city, who professed to be Democrats, interfered in the election in Ohio, and helped to destroy their brethren of their own political creed, and spread disaster among them. Had these men been true to the cause of Democracy, we could have carried the State by one hundred thousand majority. Such is a brief, significant and compre hensive dispatch sent from New York to the Western press. We do not know when we have seen so Jmuch truth expressed in so few words. New York Democracy is nothing if not intensely selfish and venal to the core. It must rule or ruin. It belongs body and soul to the bondholders and the gamblers of Wall street. It defeated Allen and broke tho prestige of Democratic suc eesses which had been sweeping the coun try for the last eighteen months. Its mouthpiece, the New York World, has not one drop of pure Democratic blood in its body. It deserted the party in the Sey mour campaign, and will desert it again in any other supreme moment when the inter ests of the party require its every friend to stand by its colors. The great party at large can put no faith in the advice of the party, or rather the ag gregate political mountebanks of New York. They will assuredly lead it to the devil, and nothing could make it more cer tain that the Radicals will triumph next year than the knowledge that the Democ racy followed the lead of Tilden, .Marble <fc Cos. They will not do to trust. They de mand everything for themselves and their section. Last week the Central Pacific Railroad Company borrowed $10,000,000 in San Fran cisco, on a mortgage of its bonds, for the purpose of constructing a railroad to Port land, Oregon. The stamps on the mort gage represented $8,740. TERRIFIC BALLOON ASCENSION. A Daring Aeronaut Up in a Blaze of Fire—lie Falls from a Distance of Half a Mile in Smoke and Flame— His Limbs Shattered to Splinters. [Bowling Green (Ky.) Pantograph.l To make their fair, successful, invit ing and attractive as possible, the Di rectors and Managers of the McLean County Fair last week advertised a grand balloon ascension. The services of Prof. S. D. Atcheson, a daring aero naut of Cincinnati, and Mr. G. C. Grady as manager, with a large and hand some ballaon, equal to the dimensions of all ordinary cottage houses, were procured. Thursday was the day, and four o’clock in the afternoon the hour, for the grand sensation. The bold and dauntless aeronaut step ped gracefully forward and grasp ed the trapeze. He was cool, calm, collected, and full of nerve, as though enjoyiug tho commonest every day pastime. His appearance was quite attractive. He Is comparatively young in years, and has the muscular, wiry elasticity of the triumphant ath lete, and a form and mould that would have done credit to tho antique wrest lers when the Olympic games were in their palmiest splendors, and when a laurel wreath won there was next in honor to a victorious battle won on the field. As he grasped the trapeze, by order of Mr. Grady the stays were cut, and up, up shot, straight as an arrow, the air-ship, swift and graceful In fea thery lightness. As he ascended, the guy-ropes were dropped, and on he sped amid tumultuous and deafening shouts of the people, to whom he wav ed his baud from a distance beyond where the clouds and the thunders make their home. Higher and higher went the balloon amid the unrestrained enthusiasm of the people. When she had reached an altitude of nearly half a mile, dense smoke was seen issuing from the balloon, curling bluley towards thejbluer skies, when horror of horrors, the balloon was dis covered to be on fire, as some thought it was before it ascended; tongues of red flame would pierce through and dart from her sides. Sbe was soon en veloped in flame and smoke, and in stantly collapsed. The scene now beg gared description. Down, with the ve locity of the eaglet stretched upon the plain, down came themronaut in a ball of fire and smoke! The sight was sickening and painful. The shouts of enthusiasm were changed into wild wails of despair. Every cheek was blanched with terror. Women shrieked anif screamed and fainted away; child ren uttered piercing cries, and ran to and fro; old men, in groans and stifled sobs, turned away their gaze only to look again and And the terrible reality all too real; horses champed their bits, snapped their reins, and ran riderless and unpursued in all direc tions; men on horses galloped witb the speed of Mamelukes to the spot where the unfortunate man seemed falling. Downward, still downward, with ar rowy swiftness came the intrepid aero naut, a sea of fire hissing and roaiing above his head, and clouds of smoke enveloping him. Nearer and nearer he approaches, his face to the fire, his feet to the earth. On he comes, till his feet strike plumb against a projecting green limb of a tree larger than a man’s leg, whicjj was stripped from the body as though it had been a blade of fodder upon a corn stalk, so great was the force of the concussion. A second more and his feet struck the ground with such force as to make quite an excava tion. He instantly fell senseless, and was thought by all to have been killed outright. He was rescued and borne away from under the burning bal loon, which was destroyed. Restora tives aud proper medicinal appliances were resorted to, and soon the perilous voyager through air and lire was brought to consciousness. His left thigh, between the knee and hip-joint, was shattered to splinters ; his other leg was bruised and hurt; his right hand was badly lacerated, and a bleed ing and painful abrasion appeared on the left temple. Besides these, his breast was mashed in, and it was thought he had sustained fatal internal Injuries. He manifested the utmost coolness and fortitude, and was taken to the Lucas Hotel of that town, where he was kindly cared for. He was still alive when he left Calhoun on Friday, though little hopes were entertained of his recovery. P. S.—J ust before going to press we received a special dispatch from Cal houn stating that Prof. Atchison will likely survive. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR Fir all diseases of the Liver.

HOW potent is this trait of the human mind. The Bible refers to it and says: “Were an angel to come down from heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the cause of much injury. We are disposed to doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and so far is it Indulged, that ic often leads to misanthropy. This is particularly applicable to the vir tues of many truly valuable remedial agents, however strong they may be en dorsed. Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence, Constipation of the Bowels or Geueral De bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills, write to him and he will furnish you with hundreds of certificates from the most reliable men and women in the coun try, who have been cured by them, of whom you can make direct inquiry. It will oost you but a postage stamp. The proprietor solicits the investigation of all who need a truly valuable medicine. HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE MUS r be those afflicted with Consump tion, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant after reading the following letter, written by one of the most estimable ladies in the South: Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872. Dr. Tutt :—ln gratitude for the benefit received bv the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its won derful power in curing deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered dreadfully with a cough, attended wit li great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Ex pectorant, and it gave almost immediate relief. I took six bottles, and am now per fectly restored. It is about five months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it and heartily recommend it to all who have,lung or throat disease. Very resDect fully, Mbs. A. M.
