A BALLOON TRAGEDY. CharUflon (S. C.) Journal aj Commerce. On Wednesday evening last an itinerant ahowman running a small sire circus show, with the usual attractions of educated an imals, etc., performed at Kingstree. To this little sensational country show was attached a monster balloon. Asa matter of course an animal of this specie, although not possessing humanity, has the power of striking awe iuto the hearts of the corn field negroes, who never travel over a half dozen miles except when a show turns up in their section. The itinerant showman at Kingstrce, by an unusual display of handbills, succeeded in drawing every countryman and negro within twenty miles of Kingstrce to this centre of attraction. After all had seen what was inside the tent, and he had filled his pockets with all the small rhangc in the assembly, he pro ceeded outside, drew out his balloon and made ready to (ill her up for an ascension : iu order to keep her down he was obliged to impose on the good nature of the gazing negroes to lay hold of the ropes and keep him in position while ho was filling the an imal with gas; but they all kept aloof and would not venture within ten feet of the animal. After considerable persuasion, and guarantees of no barm, be succeeded in gaining tbs assistance of about a dozen able-bodied men to serve the exigences of the occasion. The process of filling the balloon with gas was then commenced, and by degrees she began to swell out in full proportions. When she was made ready for the voyage to the skies out of a little tent popped a little trapeze perform er, robed iu blue tights, and all the para phernalia of a light man. Before be jump ed into the basket, he instructed the hands pressed into service for the purpose of keep ing the machine in position, and when all was ready, gave the order to let go. All scampered off, struck with amusement. Beneath the bottom was coiled up a heap of rope, and over this one of the negroes stumbled. By some mysterious action, his foot became entangled in the rope, and as the balloon ascended and took the rope up, the nogro was hoisted by the balloon. When.he got about forty feet from the earth, he, for the first time, realized his position, and began an effort to extricate himself from the difficulty, lie caught hold of the rope by his hand and disen tangled his foot, clambered up the rope to the balloon and perched himself alongside the trapeze performer. Rounds ofapplause from the audience below greeted him on the accomplishment of this feat, but the trnpezo performer, not fueling altogether safe, ndvised the negro to slide down the rope to the earth below. At this time the balloon was several hundred feet from trrra firmn , nnd sambo, thinking this a good idea, jumped at it nt once, and began to descend, the balloon ascending the while. lie slid on down until he reached about fifty feet from the ground, when the friction from the rope on his hands cut him through to 111* bone, and he was forced to Jet go. lie tumbled from thence to the earth below. The crowd, intent on the trapeze per former. did not approach him until nl 1 was through, when they found him still alive but terribly bruised, bleeding from the mouth and his hands literally sawed through to the bone. lie was taken care of by the villagers. The balloon man and bis circus agents, after this, silently, like the Arab, folded his tent and marched to another station, and thus it was that the quietude of the little village of Kingstrce was invaded by an itinerant showman and a balloon tragedy enacted. Probably this is the same balloon adver tised to ascend in Hartwell, but tailed to put in an appearance, some time ago. Mr. Beecher'* Latest. Rev. Henry H ard Beecher, at a recent prayer meeting, so-called, reviewed Amer ican history front his own peculiar stand point, and. after getting down to the pres ent day, made the following eloquent burst: There is no parrnllcl to the conduct of the black man since their freedom except the conduct of their masters —the South. So long as the South polluted the fountain of justice and sought to poison the con science of the North 1 denounced them fearlessly and on every opportunity, but now my heart turns to them w ith 7.eal ami admiration. 1 love them; their noble conduct since the war more, infinitely more, than wipes out everything that happened before. [Loud and prolonged applause.] Some men said “ it contravenes human ex perience to suppose that you can ever have in America anything more than a number of provinces ruled by a central and mon nrcliial authority." H ell, in their anoma lous condition at the close of the struggle the Southern States were provinces, but where in history have provinces ever act ed as did these despised Slates of the sun ny South ? The men of the South had stood up for their convictions ; they were the victims of the curse of slavery, and plunged by it into war. No men on the face of the earth ever carried themselves better or more nobly. When ruin was their portion, and their fortunes were poured into the open maw of the war, thev’ rose to a nobility that was sublime. ‘* Estelle ” sends us. for publication, a poem beginning " Will you love me when the twilight shadows fall across the moor?” Will we?

During n recent thunder storm near Memphis Tcnn., a negro was kicked by a vicious mule, and just ns he wns picking himself up a stroke of lightning hit the mule and killed him dead on the spot. Well, dar!” exclaimed the nogro, “cf dis chile hain’t got powerful friends to venge my insults, den derc is no use try in' to hah faith iu anything!" A Polk county woman sat up in bed very suddenly the other night to scold her husband and dropped her false teeth half way down her throat, where they stuck, arnl she could not speak a word, not even in a whisper. The delightful man sent the youngest boy alter the farthercst doctor, and crawled into bed and fell asleep in the peaceful silence before the doctor cainc and drew out the dental stopper. — Jluwlsye. A curious will has just been settled in Berlin, containing a moral worth a wider circulation than a miser's last testament often obtains. The poor man died, when to general surprise it was found he left thirlv four-thousand marks. The thirty fhouxand in a package, signed and scaled, was to he given to his native town in Ba varia ; one thousand each to three broth ers, and one thousand to a friend with whom he had quarreled. It was stipula ted that none of tiic four should follow the body to the grave, which suggestion the three brothers gladly accepted, but the quarreler walked alone and forfeited his thousand marks, for the sake of paying the last mitigating honor. When the pack age was opened for the town it disclosed another will, giving the thirty thousand to any of the four who should disregard the stipulation. mtout A Noted Divine says They are worth their weight in gold .

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives—Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it ir intended to rare. Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined. that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the coun try repose in it, prove their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sar saparilla over cverv other alterative medicine. So generally is its supen ority to any othe; medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure tin Public that tne best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained, rnri-.inrn by Dr. J.
