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.

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. Tho negro man who was assaulted hod the root doctor arrested.

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 { grow loss.” ' wounded in one of the Mexican engage- Rslioiol-s revivals are goto? on in the ; ments.

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. The Atlanta water works commission- era have asked the City Council for $300,- (HX) in lxmds, and the Council favor the proposition. Tho matter lias lieen re nt'd to a special committee. The Ilawkinsville Dispatch reports much sickness and many deaths in that section. It names five persons who have died within the past week. Woods, of the Dispatch, has lieen to New York! and tells how he and liis crowd were received when they landed from the steamer and started for a hotel. He says: About nine o'clock we reached New York and gathering our bgmge, pro ceeded in search of a hotel. I will con- wo acted a little “nncity” like. Mr. Ferguson wanted to show the crowd to the hotel, and each one. wanted to be ahead of the other. In this stylo we were rushing along th^ str-jet* when a small boy apjiearod from under a ga* light and shouted at the top of his voice that “some lunatic asylum had butted.” There was but one ready-loaded pistol in the crowd, and it was thought best to let the boy live.

Orange Culture.—The orange culture 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.

The Patent Cigw Box, ■Washington, September 5.—Commis sioner Douglass has taken no action rela-! tive to the patent cigar box which he has 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.
