THE TERRIBLE VOYAGE OF TWO BABY
A ERON A UTS T H EIR EXTU AO RDIN ARY
DFLIVERANCE FROM DEATH.
From All the Year Round.]
One pleasant afternoon during tht
comet’s appearance, ten years ago.
in aeronaut, after a prosperous voy
age, descended upon a largo farm n
the neighborhood of a market town,
in one of the Western States. H<
was soon surrounded by a curious
group of the farmer’s family and la
borers, all asking eager questions
about the voyage and the muuage
ment of the balloon. Thar, secured
by an anchor and a rope in the hands
of the aeronaut, its car but u foot 01
two above the ground, was swaying
lazily backward and forward in the
evening air. It was a good deal oui
of wind, and was a sleepy and inno
cent monster in the eyes of the farm
er, who, with the owner’s permission,
led it up to his house, where, as he
said, he could “hitch it” to the fence.
Hut before he thus secured it, his
three children, aged respectfully ten,
eight and three, begged him to lift
them into that big basket, that they
might, sit on those pretty red cush
ions.
While the attention of the aero
naut was diverted by more curious
questioners from a neighboring farm,
this rash father lirted the darlings
one by one into the car. Chubby lit
tle Johnny proved an ounce too much
for tlie aerial camel, and brought
him to tlie ground; and then, un
luckily, not tho baby, but the eldest
hope of the family, was lifted out.
The relief was too great for the mon
ster. The volatile creature’s spirits
rose at once; he jerked the lmlter
out of the farmer’s hand, and with a
bound mounted into the air. Vain
was the aeronaut’s anchor. It
caught for a moment in the fence,
but it tore away, and was off dang
ling uselessly after the runaway bal
loon, which so swiftly and steadily
rose that in a few minutes those two
little faces peering over the edge of
the car grew indistinct, and those
piteous cries of "Papa!” “Mamina!”
grew fainter up in the air.
When distance and twilight and
mists had swallowed up voices and
faces, and nothing could be seen but
that dark, cruel shape, sailing tri
umphantly away with its precious
booty, lilto an aerial privateer, the
poor father sank down helpless ami
speechless, hut the mother, frantic
with grief, still stretched her yearn
ing arms towards the heavens, and
called wildly up into the unanswering
void,
Tito aeronaut strove to console tlie
wretched parents with assurances
that the balloon would descend with
in thirty miles of tlie town, and that
all might be well with the children,
provided it did not come down in deep
water or in tlie woods. In the event
of descending in a favorable spot,
there was but one danger to bo ap
prehended ; be thought that the elder
child might step out, leaving the
younger in tlie balloon. Then it
might rise and continue its voyage.
“Ah. no,” replied the mother; Jen
nie would never stir from the car
without Johnny in iter arms!”
Xite ballon passed directly over
the market town, and the children
seeing many iieoplo in the streets,
stretched out their hands and called
loudly for help; but the villagers,
though they saw the bright little
heads, heard no call.
When the sunlight all went away,
and tlie great comet, ramr blazing
out. little Johnny; was apprehensive
that the comet might come too near
tlie airy craft and set it on lire with a
whisk of its ,dreadful tail. But when
the sister assured him that the fiery
dragon was as much as twenty miles
away, ami that God wouldn’t, let. him
hurt them, lie was tranquilized, but
he soon after said. T wish he would
come a little nearer so t could warm
myself —I am so cold.”
Then Jennie took off her apron
and wrapped it abontthe child, say
ing tenderly:
"This is all sister has to make you
warm, darling, but she’ll hug you
close in her arms, and we will say
our prayers and we shall go to
sleep.”
“Why, bow can I say my prayers
before ! have my supper? asked lit
tle Johnny.
“Sister has’rit any supper for you
or herself, but we must pray all tho
harder,” solemnly responded Jen
nie.
So the two baby wanderers, alone
in the wide heavens, unawed by
darkhess, immensity and silence, by
the presence of the great comet and
the millions of unpitying stars, lifted
their little clasped hands and sob
lied out their sorrowful, “Our
Father,” and then that quaint little
supplementary prayer:
‘ Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray tle Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake.
1 pray the Lord my soul to take.”
“There! God heard that easy; for
we are close to him up here,’’ said
innocent, little Johnny.
Doubtless Divine love stooped to
the littie ones, and folded them in
perfect peace, for soon the younger,
sitting on the bottom car, with his
head leaning against his sister’s
knees, slept as sound as though he
were lying in his little bed at home,
while the elder watched quietly
through the loDg, long hours, ami
the ear floated gently on the still
night air, till it began to . sway and
rock on the fresh wind.
At length a happy providence
guided the little girl’s wandering
liand to a Cord connecting the valve;
something told her to pull it. At
once the balloon began to sink, slow
ly and gently, as though let down by
gentle hands, or as though some
celestial pilot guided It through the
wild currents of air, not letting it
drop into lakes or rivers, leafy woods
or impenetrable swamp, where this
strange, unctiildlike experience
might have been closed by a deat h
of unspeakable horror; causing it to
descend as softly as a bird alights,
on a spot where care and human pity
await it.
The sun had not vet risen, hut the
morning twilight had eonte, when
the little girl, looking over the edge
of the car, saw the dear old earth
coming nearer, “rising toward them,”
she said. But when the car stopped,
to her great disappointment, it was
not on the ground, but caught fast in
the topmost branch of a tree. Yet
she saw they were near a house,
whence help might soon come, so she
awakened her brother and told him
the good news, arid together they
watched and waited for deliverance,
hugging each other for joy and
warmth, for they were very cold.
Farmer Buxton, who lived in a
lonely house on the edge of his own
private prairie, was a famous sleeper
in general, but on this particular
morning he awoke before the dawn,
and though he turned and turned
COLUMBUS, GA.. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1875.
tgnin, ho could sleep no more; “It’s
no use; I’ll just get up and dress, and
have a look at tiio comet.”
The next she heard was a fright
ened summons to tlie door. It seems
that no sooner did lie step from his
house than his eyes fell on a strange
shape hanging In a large pear tree
ibotit twenty yards distant. He
could see in it no likeness to any
thing earthly, and he half fancied it
might be the comot, who having put
out his lights, had como down there
to perch. In his fright and perplex
ity lie did what every wise man
would do in like extremity. Rein
forced bv her, he drew near the tree,
cautiously reoonnoiterlcg. Surely,
never pear tree bore such fruit! Sud
denly there descended from the thing
a plaintive, trembling little voice,
“Please take ns down; we are very
cold?”
Then a second little voice; “And
hungry, too; please take us down?”
“Whoare you? And where are you?”
The first little voice said : “We are
Mrs. Harwood's little boy and girl,
and we are lost in a balloon.”
The second little voice said ; “It is
us, and we runned away in a balloon.
Please take us down.”
Dimly comprehending the situation
the farmer, getting hold of a dang
ling rope, succeeded in pulling down
the balloon. He first lifted out lit
tle Johnny, who ran rapidly a few
yards towards the house, then turned
around and stood a few moments cu
riously surveying the balloon. The
faithful little sister was so chilled
and exhausted that she had to be car
ried into the house, where, trembling
and .sobbing, she told her wonderful
story. Beforo sunrise a mounted
messenger was dispatched to the
Harwood home with the glad tid
ings of great, joy. He readied it in
the afternoon, and n few hours later
the children themselves arrived in
state, with banners, and conveyed in
a covered hay wagon and four. Joy
bells were rung in the neighboring
town, and in the farmer’s brown
house the happiest family on the
continent thanked God that night .

THE FATE OF TWO MISSINO BOSTON VES
SELS AND THEIR CREWS.
A singular report is curreut as to
tho fate of the missing Boston barks,
thaJewoss and Delia M. Long. A
year ago last February the Jewess
sailed from New South Wales in tho
direction of the Atokland Islands, a
group in the South Pacific Ocean,
near New Zealand. A few days later
the Delia M. Long and an English
bark, name unknown, followed ou
the same course. No tidings of the
two Boston vessels were received in
this city till Captain Brewor, of Bid
diford. Maine, of the bark Marathon,
New York, returning from a voyage
around the world, brought back a
terrible story in regard to them. At
one of the points at, which lie stop
ded lie had fallen in with a sailor, or
someone who know him, who pur
ported to lie the sole survivor of the
t hree crews. The vessels, he said, had
become becalmed in tlie vicinity of
the Atokland Islands, and lay there
together several days. They were
boarded at night by cannibals who
overpowered t.lie crews, plundered
the ships, and scuttled them. The
men were carried prisoners to the
shore, and furnished food for a feast
to the natives. The survivor was
one of the crew of the Jewess, and he
is said to have related that the sur
prise was complete, the vessels being
some distance from land and no
signs of enemies having been seen.
The usual precaution taken when a
ship is becalmed in tlie vicinity of
land inhabited by savages is to drive
sharp nails, placed closely together,
through boards, which are placed
over the decks and fastened firmly
down, leaving the sharp point stick
ing up. It is impossble for
the barefooted saveges to step upon
the deck, and they are shot on at leis
ure. This preen niton was not taken
on hoard the Jewess, because no
danger was suspected. If is under
stood that no ship of the United
States navy is now stationed in the
South Seas, or within reasonable
distance of the vicinity where the tir
rible tragedy is said to have
been enacted. Tho Jewess was near
ly 500 tons burden. Captain Mayo, of
Chelsea, was the managing owner.
Mark Coogius, of East Boston, Caleb
Eaton and Frank Lowe were part
owners. Frank Lewis, of East Bos
ton, was one of the mates. On the
three vessels there were probably
thirty men, but the names cannot be
ascertained, most of them having
been shipped in foreign ports. Time
will probably bring to light fuller
particulars of their horrible fate.—

THE AFFAIR WILL BE SIFTED TO THE
BOTTOM —CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS
AROUSED.
New York, Nov. g.— Regarding the
proposed reopening and investigation
of the Beecher scandal, a member of
the New York and Brooklyn Associa
tion of Congregational Ministers said
yesterday that a majority of the com
mittee appointed would undoubtedly
favor a vigorous investigation of tlie
charges against Beecher; that there
was a likelihood that the ent ire scan
dal will be sifted to the bottom and
impartial justice be done. He de
clared that Beecher was now in a
very unsatisfactory position, as he
had not been wholly vindicated, and
some of the Congregational ministers
of Brooklyn and New York did not
like to see a man in the pulpit who
rested even under tho shadow of so
heinous a crime as adultery.
The Herald, in its report to-day,
says: “What with the proposed ap
peal of Mrs. Moulton to the Congre
gational Council, and the investiga
tion soon to be opened by the Com
mittee of the Association of Congre
gational Ministers, t here seems to be
a gloomy certainty that the misera
ble business will again be ventilated
before the public. It is claimed that
this new committee, if it really does
take the matter in hand, will certain
ly examine Miss Tilton, Mr. and Mrs.
Richards, Miss Susan B. Anthony,
and all other witnesses who have not
had a full hearing before the Brook
lyn City Court. It is understood the
committee will not begin tlie investi
gation for a week or two.”

Any one investing iu these bonds lias the satis
faction of knowing that his bond is certain to be
paid at maturity; and further that he assists in
building in tho City of New York, a permanent
Temple of Industry, which will be an ornament
aud a pride to every Aiucricau.
Each Bond-holder, until his bend is redeemed,
is a part owner of twenty-two acres of land situa
ted in the heart of the City of New York, and es
timated to be worth Two Million, Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars. And the building, which is
estimated to cost Seven Millions,
The excavations for the foundation was com
menced on the 20th of May, 1875, aud the build
ing will be ready to receive tho goods from tho
Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people of small means was
ever offered equaling the Bonds of the Industrial
Exhibition Cos. Tho bonds are secured by a
mortgage wi ich makes the principal safe, aud
eminently secure, and in aduition to which each
bond-holder participates four times a year in the
allotment of premiums above named.
The difference between these bonds and a lot
tery ticket, is, in a lottery the holder must lose
his money or draw a prize, while the holder of an
Industrial Exhibition Bond, cannot lose his in
vestment, but must have returned to him, the
principal and a small rate of interest added, aud
in addition, has an opportunity to draw u pre
mium ranging from SSO to SIOO,OOO.
The Board of Directors and the Trustees *f the
mortgage, are among the most eminent business
men of New York, and is of itself a guarantee
that the Bonds are. a safe and d< sirable invest
ment.
The Compauy is not responsible for any money
