For the past week or ten days the
follow ing communication has be
ceivcd by many single gentlemen in
Atlanta. The communication so plain
ly interprets itself that no explanatory
words a^e necessary.
It may be well to state however, that
there is a reason why Mrs. Cinguars
has made our city the field of opera
tions just at present. Some weeks ago
a young gentleman of Atlanta dis ov-
cred the nature of the business carried
•m by the lady, and being desirous of
procuring her aid in a very delicate
matter, addressed her a communlea-
i ion, enclosing the necessary $5. This
unsolicited engagement, so to speak,
produced in the lady's mind the belief
that this city was good missionary
ground, and heme the numerous vir-
•nisrs. It is not necessary to state
that the first correspondent Is not yet

Thrilling Experience of a Jour

The following interesting account of
the voyage of the balloon recently sent
up by the New York World has been
published in that newspaper by its
special correspondent, Mr. Edward
Duffy, who was one of tlie party to
make t e trip:
Though oar voyage was a compara
tively short one and begun rather lu-
auspiclously, Professor Hazen tells
me that be think* his meteorological
observations, by reason of the great
height obtained, more valuable than
any other observations taken from
a balloon in this country. Our
highest altitude was 16.000 feet.
This was obtained about an hour after
leaviug St. LonU. We remained at
that altitude about 15 minute*. It was
here that we narrowly escaped dis
aster. Moore’s tom finger was bleed
ing freely as we cleared tlie park
grounds. He was really unfit to make
the journey. On mounting upward
the roar iu mv ears was dreadful. So
much ballast had been lost in getting

the buildings and trees adjacent thereto

Dthcr night of a trip he made to Ari

time of tlie Tombstone boom.
“it was quite extraordinary,” he
iald. “The country was full of des-
jieradoes and ban gamblers, aud they
were very dangerous, too. They
ruled rmubstone at that time. A
friend of mine was in Tombstone, and
•tie day lie saw a man walking quietly

murderer—a man for whose head a big
reward was offered. He knew tlie

This was mainly ou account of an old

feared noiie of them and had his own

effective. One day a notorious char-

They had tlie whipping post there
then. Tlie old judge looked at him.
“I think I’ve seen you before—no?”
The culprit admitted that he had
been there on several occasions.
“Wal, 1 just sentence you to forty
lashes. You take twenty of tliem to
morrow and then you vas released on

The man was complaining bitterly
after he paid the fine.

Some fellow who wrs being tried

* very rapid. Moore collapsed ut
terly when crossing the Mississippi,
aud’ for some time lay in a fainting
condition in one corner of the car.
His face was ghastly white aud bU
lips pnrple. Dongbty and I hastily
searched among our baggage for the
brandy fla-fc. We failed to find it.
Professor Hazen was taking observa
tions, but on learning Moore’s state
got Ids brandy bottle quickly, and
Moore was given a few swallows of the
brandy debited with water. This re
vived him somewhat. By this time
tlie roaring iu my bead was terrific.
The air grew chilly aud Doughty In
duced Moore to put on my heavy over
coat.
Suddenly Hazen sings out: “We’re
going too fast. We’re above the
clouds.” Sure enoug., on looking
outside tlr»re lay below us great banks
of fleecy vapor. I readied my liand
from tlie car and coukl fed from above
us tlie situ -hone full and strong.
Through tlie clouds I peered us
through a ve'l at the earth beneath.
Here and there were reut* in the
cloudy strata, through which, as
through peep-holes in a white mask, I
perceive, the wide, endless map of
green, gray and yellow *pots. I
shivered a* the cold, clammy vapor
permeated my clothing. Hazen sings
out as he looks at the aneroid barom
eter: “We’re 15,280 feet aud still
going up.” At this time the temper
ature had descend nd to forty one de
grees. A few minutes later Hazen
announces: “Sixteen thousand feet
altitude. This is tlie highest, I be
lieve, any balloon has been in thi»
country.'' He adds, with some en
thusiasm: “The temperature has got
down to 37.”
Doughty meanwhile slioots off hi*
camera at the clouds. Click, click,
come- the sound of his apparatus as
his instantaneous exposures are made.
He had previously taken a dozen land
scape views. Moore sits all huddled
up in a heap, dejectedly gazing at me.
with eyes half-closed and looking like
a very sick man. Hazen leans outside
to my left, swinging Jiis psyehrometer
outside the car. I sit on one of
Doughty's boxes, holding In my lap a
writiug-boanl, on which 1 am writiug
the third page of a large sheet of tis
sue paper. Tlie time is about 5:50
Hazen cries in alarm, “We are falling
dreadfully.” He throws out a buncu
of circulars. Instead of descending or
floating with us. they shoot upward as
they leave his hand like steam from an
exhaust-pipe. Moore springs to his
feet. “Out with the balllst, boys!”
Weak as he is, he grabs what he can
and easts It over. Doughty and Ha
zen have already dropped their instru
ments and each grabs a bag of >aud.
Over they go. As tlie sand leaves the
hag it flies upward ns If from a gun. It
strikes tlie gas bag above us and Grad
ually settles down into the car, filling
eyes, ears and nostrils almost to suffo
cation.
I realize the peril.* I spring to my
feet. The circular and saml shooting
upward, and the terrific roaring in mv
ears, with the appalling sense of the
rrightfnl velocity with which the car
is dropping away from under us, are
enough to warn us. I stand in tlie
centre of the car. A« Hook off over
the edge of it I perceive the earth
flying upward. The hitherto small
green ami yellow spots grow larger.
We can distinguish the greensward
and the fields of ripening wheat, di
versified by patches of forest. Now
the fields spread out and the fences
appear. Here a cabin and there a
town, here a glistening crystal stream
ami yonder a giay-white highway.
My view of these objects is but mo
mentary. “Over with ballast! over
with ballast!” yells Moore, himself
throwing ont what he can. Tlie air
about is full of the tilings w e cast over,
and which fly upward tlie instant they
leave the car. “Something wrong,
boys. : If we don't stop her right
away we’re lost. Over board, quick,
with everything!” Out go tlie sand
and ttaie circulars the faster. 1 catch
hold of the great hickory hoop over
head and prepare for the w orse. Up
come the tops of the forest trees until
tiie seven burn! ed reft of drag-rope
touched them. Up rgain till the rope
settles upon tiie ground two huiulred
feet or more, thus relieving the car of
its weight.
Then our downward motion percep
tible decrease. The circular* float
slowly upw ard from the car, and begin
falling and fluttering below us. We
have reached the turning point, 400
feet high, aud we are -safe. Then we
breathe easer. ami stand aud gaze at

be tom at tiie top. Some one during

rip-cord. I never saw anything like
it; from the uncommon beght of 16,-

to 400 feet. That settles it. hoys;
we’ve got to come down before dark,”
said Moore. Ballast wan thrown out
and was ascended to about two thou
sand feet, sailing over a farm house.
Tlie altitude did not ex-Ted 6,000
feet at any time during the voyage
from this point. Tbe couise was north
east, the velocity less than twenty
miles an hour. After wq bad gone up
the second time to 6,000 feet we de
truded again to 3.000 feet, then as
cended to 5.200, and so carried tbe al

“Here’s a bouse.” So there is—a
small stery and a half cottage; but It
must take its ciiaoces. We come to if

just missing tlie old man and woman
standing with staring eyes in the door

•cpring* at the fence and comes away
laugliiiig, with Its mouth full of it.
On we move. More wheat fields, more
corn fields; the dust rising in clouds
and the stones flying. Farmers now
run towards us from all directions,
centering at a point ahead where they
thiuk we may pass. On coming to
th*m. Moore shouts down: “Catch
bold of the loug rojie! Look out for
the anchor! Catch the drag rope!”
Three men picked up tlie iuiiocent-
lung drag-rope as it' trails through
fields. “Hold on to it!” shouts
Moore. They brace tliemselves, with
heels set iu thwdirt, but are jerked
twenty feet Iu tiie air and fall sprawl
ing. Ere tliey have picked tliemselves
up tlie rope is a hundred rods away.
A group of a dozen stalwart yeoman
uow make a dash at tiie drag-rope, but
flinch a little. “Catch liokl !”sh ut*
Moore. “Take a turn around some
tree first. Don't be afraid to catch it.”
One and then another takes hold
gingerly, Is jerked of)’ his feet
aud let go finally. The anchor Is drag-
filng* prongs down, ami tlie speed Im
perceptibly diminishing.
At lust, as we approached a farm
house, all tiie men take liokl of tlie
drag-rope together and are yanked
along viciously. August Palm, skied
by liU wile, grabs the loose end and
thoughtfully gives it a turn around a
-tout apple tree in their door-yard.
Mrs. Palm skins her laud severely,and
the bark dies from tlie tree, but the
rope fetches up tlie car with a tre
mendous yank that nearly spill* every
thing out. Passengers aud bags and
boxes are precipitated violently Into
the lower end. The great’ hickory
hoop overhead fairly screeches under
the enormous strain. Will she hold?
This Is the qtierry. We are now
about 400 feet up. Itseem-*as if some
thing must give way. The car creaks

we get to tiie grouud, a crowd of eager

WlieuGen. Bragg’* army evacuated
Corinth, Miss., in 1862, there w*ai
great deal of sickness among tlie sol

being unfit for service.
Capt. S. R. Weston, of Company H,

(belonging to Company E, same regi

able to march, but still able to do light
duty. So we were put in charge of the
sick of our regiment, who were to be

we were at the depot getting tbe men

we noticed another squad to our left,
as we faced tiie town, loading another

missary stores, and everybody seemed
to be In a hurry and in some confus
ion. Every straggler was pat to work,
and many of the sick were made to
work who ought to have been In bed.
Some boisterous, overbearing fellow
wo* bossing the job, and if he ordered
a man to go to work and be refused lie
reported him at ooce to Geu. Bragg,
who seemed to lie superintending the
whole movement iu person.
Filially a young soldier came along
on Ids way to tlie cars for tlie sick. He
appeared to be about twenty years of
age, tall aud hand*ome, but pale and
delicate. The man (or brute) com
manding the work squad saw him and
yelled ont:
“Say, young man, fall in here and
go to work! Heave these pMvis Into
tlie cars and he quick about it.”
Tlie young mau replied:
“I am not able to work. If I were
I would be with my company.”
“Eli? Won't work, eh? We'll see
about that. General!” lie hollowed
out to Geu. Bragg, who was passing,
“there's a mau who refuses to work,”
pointing at tha youth, who stood os
firm as a ruck. Gen. Bragg stop|ied
ami gazed at the young man, his eyes
1 dazing as no other man’s eyes can
blaze, and refloated tiie order to help
load tlie cars at oner. Tiie young man
repeated bis former answer, that be
was not able to work; tiad he been
able t» work lie vouitl be able to
march and would be with bis com
mand.
Tlie General’s eyes seemed to flash
fire as he exclaimed:
What! You dare to disobey my
order*?”
“I do,*’ calmly replied the youug
man.

Mr. George W. Smalley writes to
the Trlhnne to detail an episode of
Buffalo Bill’s London career, All the
world knows, by cable and otherwise,
that he was on Lord Charles Berco-
ford’s drag at tiie meeting of tiie Coach
ing Club in Hyde Park. He was tlie
feat-re of that gathering. Tbe Prin
cess of Wales herself was less au ol»-
jectof iutere»t.or,*t rate,of nuy curiosi
ty. But there was an unre|M»rted in
cident. Count Herbert Bismarck was
then hi London, as lie Ls now. He
went to tlie meetiug aud was seeu by
Lord Charles, who hailed him and
asked him to come up on his coach.
Count Herbert accepted this invita
tion, climbed aloft and was assigned a
8 lace on tiie seat beliind tlie lox seat.
le observed in front of him aud next
to Lord Charles a big, powerful ;innn
with long hair and what is here called
a sombrero. Presently be was intro
duced to this personage as Colonel the
Hon. Wra. F. Cody. Tlie non of the
imperial clia cel lor of Germany pos
sibly wondered who Colonel the Hon.
W m. F. Cody was, and pretty certain
ly occupied his mind with s(iecnIatlons
ou tne greatness of this unknown hero
who was so conspicuously preferred
before him. There is no hu
man being stiffer titan your
Prussian on points of etiquette;
none ou tlie whole so stiff. When
Count Herbert Bismarck returns to
Beilin he will have it to relate that
the man in whose favor he himself was
relegated to a back scat was au Amer
ican, joint proprietor of an establish
ment sometimes called Cody’s circus.
Loodou, liowever, haviug some time
since set up Buffalo Bill a* on idol, and
fallen down before and worshipped
him, aud burned incense before him, i»
-till w* il coutent with its new image.
He is liked as u.-ll as lionized. Hi-
nerves are not fluttered by contact
with fashion. He takes what comes to
him witli coolness aud as if it were
quite a matter of course. Whether at
luncheon or a dinuer party or an even
ing crush, our long-haired Itamlsoine
giant lias every art of being at home.
Why should be uot? it must be easier
to be tbe centre of half a dozen pretty
women’s admiring attentions than a
target for red Indian bullets. “Have
yoa met Buffalo Bill ?” inquired one
“smart” youug man about town of an
other, “smarter” if not younger.
“Yes, often.” “What was lie doing?”
“Mostly playing poker with Duch-
e-ses.” This iuay|be only a vivacious
form of expressing the extent of Col.
Cody's intimacy with the most exalted
society, but, with or without the
poker, of tbe intimacy there can be no
doubt.

Rev. Dr. McChesney, pastor of the

in which he told some plain troths In
a striking and forceful way. HU sub

The Lieutenant called out six of hU

General Bragg l>eckoned tiie Lieuten*

I’he guard marched tiie young mau to

“Now, air, I aiu rwuly.”
Tin* Lieutenant stepped off ten poors,

comii.anded in a loud voice, distinctly

1 became so weak I thought I should

bade him rise, gro-|ied hi* hand in ad

ring, which he received with a polite
bow and the word “thunks.” and
walked away a* unconcerned as if
noth ng unusual hail occurred.
The Lieutenant and bis men return
ed to their former position, in a few

soon Gen. Bragg returned and asked:
“Where is the boy?”
“Gone,” said the Lieutenant.
“What did you do?” asked the Gen

The inadvisability of knowing too
much of wbat goes on in one’s own
house was illustrated the other day by
:ui incident which happened la a Back
Bay mansion. The table gir! was sick,
and the doctor had ordered her taking
broth. A daughter of the house,moved
by clmritabie impulse, tiers df carried
Hie broth to the patient, but tlie inva
lid absolutely refused to touch it.
“Did Annie make it?” she asked,
Annie being the cook.
“Yes,” was tiie answer. “She made
it on purpose for you.”
“Then I won’t taste it.” the sick girl
insisted qneroloodr. “I «eea Annie
Maguire put her finger In tiie soap

see how hot it Is,and I can’t taste it?”
And moved by the memory of a long

They know, as no one
else' knows, what it cost to go and take
them. Woe betide tbe man or party
of men, official or unofficial, who un-
•lertakes to send those trophies back,
rhose flags will not go back. We pro
pose to keep them as emblems of the
follies of the part, and as a warning to
generations to come. Eternal justice
•lOkls them down where they belong,
so tiiat no desperate band can ever
again give them to tbe breeze. Tbe
Confederate flag as a symbol stands for
a rebellion inaugurated wholly with
out excuse, as proved by tbe state-
menu of Alexander Stephens. Tbe
flag represents a period of political ex
istence which lasted for a little over
four years, and then collapsed without
recognition by the civilized world.
TLat flag stands for no political or
ganization which existed before or
since. That flag of Confederacy stands
for a political structure whose admin
istration ignored tbe humane maxims
of civilized warfare. Remember An-
dersouville, remember Fort PUiow,
remember Libby Prison, remember
tiie plan to burn the cities of tbe
North, and to spread the virus of the
pestilence among oar women and chil
dren.

States were taken back Into tbe Union
they agreed to support and uphold tbe
Constitution. How did they carry out
their promises and pledges ? By m or
dering the freedmen; by rlolating the
Constitution; by reducing tbdr elec
tions to a mere pretense; by counting
a race of voters. The Old South
would take pleasure in getting these
flags back again, and we know what
kind or men in the North would take
pleasure in (ending them hack no
act which, had it been executed,
would have been an official recogni
tion of tho valid and legitimate politi
cal organization of the Confederate
States as they were at the time of act

Now, bow did it happen that those

Dr. McChesney said that he never
was one to maintain that one political
party had a monopoly of all tbe good
ness and asefalneM in tbe country. He
also expressed respect for tbe honest
people of theNew Sontb, and for those
who were misled into rebellion.
Continuing, he said that shortly be
fore Gen. Logan's death, he asked him
about the state of tbe country. Tbe
General's eyes flashed fire, and be
made this answer:
“Do yoa know that we have not a
representative to-day, at any foreign
Court under high heaven except some
inau who was Implicated in tbe war of
the rebellion, or some man who was in
sympathy with tbe Confederacy dar
ing its existence?”
There is food for reflection here.

When I went before ’em to be inter

me if 1 could read the Bible. I tohl
’em no I hadn’t read tlie Bible. !r

Well, lie asked me what I knew

METHOD OF SERMONIZING.
“D*» you ever write your sermons?”
“I never wrote a sermon in my life.
My gilt is a spiritual gift, am! when
I preach I aui led on by tlie spirit of
God. Mv mind flies through the Bible
like a flash of lightning. Sometimes
if 1 had six tongue* 1 could use 'em
all at oi-ce. No trouble Tor me to get
iloctriitt. Tlie spirit of God brings
me more doctrine titan I can speak. I
coi.ldu’t speak from manuscript any
way. I’d forget It wa* on the Bible In
front of me. I haven’t decided yet
wliat texts I will preach from to-mor
row.”
“IIow many sermon* do you preach
a dav?”
“Two now. I’ve prearlietf four a

Tlie I'artli ol July.
The approach of tlie one hundred
and eleventh anniversary of American

Chronicle to give utterance to some
timely sentlnici.t- and suggestion*
with reference to the observance of tins
Fourth of July In the Smith. It says:
“Since the war la-tween liie States,
the South ha« permitted the observ
ance of the dav to fall Into desuetude.

round about the day tiiat ga\'e birth to
a new nation. In I he front of tlie col

As was so eloquently and forcibly
sltown by Governor Gordon. I- Id- ad

last, the South contributed liberally
both of men and means, brain- and
money, to make the Government all it
proved to be up to 1800. The truth i*

tiiat, If any portion of tbe American

Why should not the approaching
Fourth Day of July be celebrated
throughout tlie South iitfld* year of

good reason can be given. Ihe

to the people throiigout the Common
