According to a Sunday newspaper
in Washington which never told a lie,
the mcmliers of the Sociely ol the
Army of the Cumberland were expos
ed to a greater peril at their late ball
in the rotunda of the Capitol than
they ever were on any battlefield
According to this veracious journal,
all the gas jets were lighted, including
a thousand that had not been lit for
eleven veers. About 11 o’clock, while
the ball was at high tide of its festivi
ties, all the gas from the upper gas |
jets suddenly went out. “It was sup
posed,” says the Washington papers,
“that the 1800 jets in use, which had
so mvsteriously ceased burning, might
be pouring out a great volume of gas,
which might at any time, explode. At
this critical juncture the Capitol elco-
trician, Mr. Rogers, quickly mounted
to tbe top of the interior and
tuned off the stop-cook of every
Almost miraculously, how-
a valve in the supply pipe had
acted automatically, not only thus
shutting off the flow of gasv but hold

the case, and if Mr. Rogers had not

an explosion that night which would
have brought down the entire dome
of the Capitol io huge fragments upon
the heads of the assembled hundreds,
among whom were the Preeident and
the Cabinet officers.”
While we shudder at this thrilling
account, we cannot bat feel surprised
at the innocence of the narrator. Tbe

daughter ride free. It was done, but
the conductor boldly told bis bose
that lie didn’t pass anybody free, but
paid the lady’s fare himself, a-d in
tended to marry her. The boas there-
on told hiiu that if he did so be could
have bis car again. And be did, but
his wife, with her money, didn't let
him keep it long. A St. Louis con
ductor didn’t have any such luck
with a similar girl. The eld man
boarded the car with the daughter
one day, aud tried to lick him. The
Conundrums about tbe weather are
now iu order. Let ns hear from tho conductor had to fire him off, and of
course his flirtation is ended.
CANT Pl'tILINIl IT.
Our readers have not t-nmd and
will not find the President’s Message
printed in the Banner. Doubtless
very few would have read it had wc
spread it before them, Lile is entire
ly too short and time too precious to
devote to na ling Presidents’ mes
sages. They generally contain little
or nothing that is not found in the
newspapers many months in advance
of publication. Mr. Hays has not
said anvthiug of espeo a! moment,
and we will devote our space to in
forming our readersof the sayi y and
doings of tin ir friends and mi. Ii' ors
nearer home ralln-r tln.n to Mr.
Hayes’s utterances. We lik’c Mr
fiayes.very well, and desire him to
rest assured, that he has our contin
ued good will, and trust he will not be
hurt with us about this matter, but
the Banner must be. true to its mis
sion in furnishing its readers tl e
news of their own State—m
keeping them posted as to what i3 go
ing on all over the State; tolling
them, in the briefest possible space,
what the people are saying and doing;
who’s been getting married and who
died; who raised ihe finest pota
toes and the fattest hogs, the best
oaro and the most cotton to the acre,
and iiia^iain to bo seen that when it
has dope all this there is no room left
far Ilk Hayes’s message nor other
long-winded political documents. The
treth ie—if Mr. Hayes will pardon
aa-htfcat, as a rale, the Banner pre
fers potatoes to politics, and, if we
•re not much mistaken, the whole
Sooth is rapidly coming to the same
way of drinking.
A DUTY DISCHARGED.
We find the following words of
alarming portent in a “ Quasi Saint ;-
lory’’ editorial article in the last
Hartwell Sun, and publish them in
the Banner in order that our read
ers may look out, be prepared far tho
worst, and make haste to “stand
from under.”
“ Now, h declares our able cotem-
porary, “ now ia the initial point of a
lively period in politics.” If he had
slopped right here, wo would have
seen no cause for uueariness. We
are rather partial to lively periods
generally, aud, if we must have polit
ical periods, we donlt know that we
particularly object to their being
state is sent to correct the idea that
ho supposed the meteoric display he
predicted would be general, and to call
attention to the fact that hi-*j predic
tion was fulfilled. They say :
“To following communication bth
to Pr f. Tice, unsolicited, by reliable
and well known business men of St.
Louis, gives testimony of a shower iu
this state never excelled in brilliancy
or grandeur:”
St. Louis, November 22d, 1879 —
Prof. John II. Tice, City: Dear
Silt—Having noticed in various news
papers statements implying the failure
of your forecasts concerning the me
teoric display ti November 13th, and
as the comments are such as to cast a
doubt in the public mind concerning
the accuracy of your scientific infor
mation, we deem it due to you, and to
the cause ol truth to make the follow
ing statement of facts:
While on a hunting expedition in
the counties of Franklin and \Va*h-
ington, Mo., we saw on the morning
of the 13th a meteoric shower of such
wonderful brilliance as to illuminate
the woods lor miles around. Il resem
bled a shower of fire balls, and was
accompanied by loud, explosive
sounds. At the time there were clouds
and rain.
T hese facts can bo verified by the
citizens" ot that locality, among whom
it created much consternation aud
(ear, some thinking it a precursor of
the day of judgment. We make this
statement in the iotcre?t of justicr,
and you are at lilierty to use it in any
way you may wiish.
Yours very frttiy,
D O TiiATcnEit,

A communication from a United
States army officer, stationed on the
nortu fork of the Canadian river, ia
Indian territory, says:
“Between tbe hours Of one and
three, on the morning of the 13th of
November, the stars seemed to full in
a storm and was witnessed with won
derful admiration by officers arid
men.”
The Chicago 7ImerofNov. 21st,
contains matter in evidence of the dis
play, and we make au extract:—
“Parties in Indiana, who made .a
night of it watching for Tice’s Mete
ors, declare that there was a good
display between 3:30 and 5:30.od (he
monjiiig of the 13th. Th/ principid
of Washington High School avers
that he saw great numbers ot them.
Mr. Dawson, the self-educated astron
omer ot Spicelani, also observed
them.”
Tho communication gives an extract
trom Tice’s Almanac for 1880, iu
which lie slates that he has “a verified
system of Meteorology and a theory ot
Meteorogno**oy,” but fails to tell us
what “meteorognoacy” is, so we are
left painfully in tho dark o.i that sub
ject, aud are forced to call; ii the l'ro-
fessoi 11 bring out another explana
tion, “Metebrognoscy ” rather lays
over us. J* * t
