tho aeronaut*, will be accompanied by a
reporter of the Graphic and an expe
rienced Beaman, who will manage the life
boat attached to the balloon in case the
party luivo to or change air for water. The
halltK.ii is described as 116 feet high, 335
feet in circumference, and will contain
600,000 feet of cubic gas, with a power of
6,600 pounds. The aeronauts oro confi
dent that from eighty to on#* hundred
hours’ travel will land them in Europe.
An English aeronaut, who is said to bo
eminent in his vocation. Mr. Henry Cox-
well, has written a communication to the
London Telegraph, in which he expresses
tho opinion that Mr. Wise is mistaken
both as to the current blowing from west
to east and the lifting power of tho gas.
In logon! to the first he says that hia
own experiences do not confirm the theory.
Tho Graphic balloon is to be on exhibi
tion from Satunbiy next till the time of
ascension.
‘•Where He Lost Himself.
An Atchison, Kansas, paper relates tho
story of a halting sir foot customer, who.
a few years ago, appeared on tho street
in that city, causing tho timid to tremble
and rebels to quake by reason of loud
mouthing* on his part in relation to the
war. He was with Grant; had faced the
cannon’s mouth, and with his good right
hand had used his sabre and mowed
down tho rebels as the farmer docs the
grass. Ho luul killed something less than
a thousand ” rebs,” and wasn’t through
yet. No, sir, he waa *• an old-fashionod
Republican,” and expected to liva long
enough to plant many a rebel yeU He
became quite enthusiastic on the subject,
and would have been blowing to this mo
ment, probably, had not a slender-built
man who once wore tho gray come up at
tho time. The rebel-slayer addressed his
conversation to him, and there ia where
he lost himself, for the rebel turned and
ordered him to instantly clear out. This
ho refused to do, whereupon thestar-ond-
barman got hold of the star-spangled
fellow by the collar, and immediately be
gun using his foot, the too of which
seriously dUarrangid the other’s coat-taiL
A noise followed each application of
leather that sounded like tho coming to
gether of two infuriated rams. The re
bel-killer remark oil at every kick. ” All
right, sir, all right; just lot go of me and
Til go.” Ho went.

following:
Some few wool?* ago Dr. J. H. Bryan,
of Bellevue, was called to see a colored
boy in the Valley of Talbot, whom he
and pretty low with a well developed
case of typhoid fever. This excellent
physician immediately prescrilxxl for the
t»y, and in a tew day.i he was up, walk
ing about the yard. About this time a
pegro root doctor appeared and adminis
tered a dose of hi* best, which "threw the
convalescent once more upon his couch
where he continued to grow worse. Tho
negroes in that quarter became alarmed
and sent for Dr. Bryan again, but that
gentleman refused to go. Then, t-liis
“yerb” conjuror, aforesaid, gathered al!
tho negroes around and told them that,
the boy was ?tricked” by a negro girl to
whom lie was engaged to l*e married, ^and
who livinl on a neighlmring plantation
so, the father of the girl was aont for and
requested to bring her with him. The
old man obeyed the summons promptly,
lmt, from some cause, he did not take his
daughter with him. When lie appeared
the crowd of negro men wh<Pwer» await-
ing him. closed in on him and the old
root doctor grabbed him by the collar,
run a knife across his throat and swore
that he would kill him. The other ne
groes. l*eing wrought upon by their
superstitions, were perfectly wild, and it
serrried that the .poor darky .would bo nt-
terly annihilated, every minuto. He
finally got away from them and made
tracks for home, closely pursued. No
one has over known a negro to run like
he did; in common parlance, “ lie fairly
jot up and dusted.” He out run two
lorses. swam two creek*, knocked
over 50 panels of fence ten rails
high, mn two miles down the lied of a
branch and fell fainting in hi* cabin door.
His pursuers followed liirn nearly home,
two of whom were on horses. This is
the story of the witchery a* told to his
heathenish followers by the old root doc
tor. He says th© girl has a look of the
sick boy’s hair, which she ha* wrapped
around an old rusty nail. She has
iron this nail in a tree and every time
she wants her betrothed to grow worse
she drive* the nail in a little further.

follows:
Gen. John C. Breckinridge spent h. few
days here during the past week, and atr
tended the races. He called, as a mat
ter of courtesy on President Grant, whom
he had not seen since the Mexican war,
where they were fellow officers and very
intimate. Although Gen. Breckinridge
lias been frequently in Washington since
the close of the war, he did not think it
would be delicate for him to visit the
President in the Executive Mansion. Ho
was accompanied to the President’s cot
tage by Mr. John Hoey, and spent a por
tion of the evening in very agreeable con
versation. Senator Frelinghuysen was
present, and others dropped in during
tho evening to pay their respects. No
allusion, whatever, was made to the late
war, and the part taken by either of the
two gentlemen. The President greeted -
Mr. Breckinridge very kindly, and re
ferred to the last time they met, which
aided success. “May its shadow never j was, I believe, when Grant was slightly

A Remarkable Dream.—The Rome
Commercial, tells this story..
Mr. T. S. Cox, a resident of Macon;
visiting Rome, luul a most remarkable
dream last Sunday night. He was in
this office Monday morning and repeated
it at that time about as follows: He
dreamed that his house in West Macon,
occupied by his wife and family, was en
tered Sunday evening and a certain bu
reau drawer robbed of some silver ware,
and that a woman committed the theft,
that she was a dark-complexioned, dark
haired, blue eyed woman, an I a stranger
to him. Yesterday morning he received
a letter from his wife confirming his
droain, and that a package of silver
spoons was stolen from the bureau drawer
sometime during Sunday afternoon. A
description of the suspected party was
given which coincided with his
dream. This is no fancy sketch. The
dream was repeated to us early Monday
morning and the letter from Mrs. Cox
was received yesterday morning.

Further Particulars of the Great
Gale—Wreck of the Saltwell.
Halifax,. September 5.—Fifteen of the
crew of the steamship Saltwell were lost
on Say Shoals. Twenty-four have ar
rived. They give the following account
of the! disaster: (J _ \ ^
The Saltwell sailed from London Au
gust 9th in ballast, bound for Sydney, C.
B., to load with coal for New York. The
ship arrived within some twenty miles
of Sydney, C. B., harbor at 10 o’clock Sun-
din- morning on the 24th, expecting to
get into port about midday. At this time
a thick fog set in, and the wind began
blowing hard from tho southeast and
gradually increased to a gale. At 3 o’clock
in the afternoon Captain Mace, afraid of
being driven on the shore, put the ship
about to head off the land. The engines
were driven at full speed. The wind con
tinued increasing up to 8 o’clock in the
evening, when it became a perfect hurri
cane, and the ship could make no head
way against it. Still no danger to the
ship was apprehended, and only the usual
watch was kept on deck, the captain re
maining on the bridge.
About 11 o’clock, p. k., while the
fourth engineer was in the engine room
the ship struck on what appeared to be Say
Shoals, off Scottrie Islands. She struck
at intervals, three different times, before
sticking fast, sticking each time about
midship. The water began rushing in
immediately after she first struck, and
quickly put out the fires. At the first
shock the chief engineer reached the en
gine room, but in a very short time re
turned and reported that the ship was
sinking.
All hands below were roused and the
boats were ordered to be lowered. Eock-
etewere fired in the hope of attracting
attention from the shore. The first boat
attempted to to launched was the star-
A Submerged Forest.—It is not gon- j board life boat. In assisting to get this
the law-breakers time to remove their
stills and get out of the way. There was
no unnecessary or wanton destruction
of property, and all law-abiding citizens
will bear testimony that the conduct of
•Lieut. Mast and his men has been unex
ceptional throughout. This matter
should not be supposed to rest at this
stage, but should be pursued to the end
and regardless of expense. The lawless
and evil disposed persons will look upon
it as a Jcheck to Federal authority and
take encouragement to continue in their
lawless acts. ^ .
“I intend to return the expedition, next
week to the same locality, and to make
another effort for the enforcement of
law, in which .1 wish to to supported in
the full extent by the strong arm of Gov
ernment.”
Supervisor Perry, in transmitting tho
report to the commissioner, says : “No
pains will be spared to break up ail illicit
stills in said districts which can possibly
be reached. Th© revenue officers which
accompanied the expedition Were particu
larly cautioned against doing anything
which in any case could to made to ap
pear as wrong or oppressive, and I have
thus carried out the instructions literally.
No one unacquainted with the same has
any idea of the bitter, malicious hostility
of the people in these nniglitorlioods to
the revenue and other officers who assist
in enforcing the revenue law, and they
are encouraged in their hostile and
malicious acts by most of the conserva
tive newspapers in the State.

Rowing Over the Reading Falls with
the Woman who Had Rejected His
Suit.
Reading, Pa., August 31.
This morning between G and 10 o'clock,
in the vicinity of KissengeFs bridge, on
the Schuylkill river, in tho city limits, a
terrible and mysterious tragedy was en
acted by which two persons were drowned
and a third narrowly escaped death.
Their names are Charles Harmony, Mrs.
Mary Herbert, and Daniel Hoffman.
Harmony and the young woman arrived
at the hotel near the bridge last night,
and remained until this morning. They
were not registered as man and wife.
They remained together last evening
for some time, and several of the board
ers say that hot words passed between
them before they separated for the night
This morning they appeared as if nothing
had happened, and about 9 o’clock Har
mony asked the woman to take a boat
ride with him. On going out of the
hotel they saw sitting on the piazza :
young man employed on the Berks coun
ty railroad, named Daniel Hoffman
Harmony asked him to accompany them,
and he consented.
As they sailed down the river, Har
mony having the oars, it was noticed that
they were in the current leading over
the falls. Hoffman remonstrated, and
the woman piteously begged Harmony to
turn the boat around. Harmony, how
ever, continued pulling with vigorous
strokes, and by one determined effort
sent the boat over the falls, the three oc
cupants falling among the rocks about
twenty feet below. Hoffman jumped,
and miraculously escaped being crushed
among the boulders. He swam ashore
and then went to. police headquarters and
gave information of the affair to Chief of
Police Cullen. Sergeant Lutz and
squad of patrolmen went to the river, and
after dredging found the body of the
woman. The body, of Harmony, it is
thought, is still down among the rocks.
Hoffman’s story agrees with tho facts
as above given. Harmony gave a com
rade good-bye last evening, and remarked
as lie did so that it all depended upon one
thing whether he would over see him
again in this world. It is now thought
he meant that he intended to ask the wo
man to etope with him, and in case she re
fused to resort to some means to take
both of their lives. Hoffman is the only
witness in the case, and he declares that
all were sober, and that it was the cool
and premeditated work of Harmony. The
two persons drowned came from Lebanon.
Pa., and the survivor lives in this city.
