I®'W are monkcyseaagbt? The ape family resembles man. Their vices arc human. They love liquor, and fall. In Darfour and Senor, the na tives make a fermented beer, of .which the monkeys are passionately fond. Aware of this, the natives go to the parts of the forest frequented by the mon keys. and set on the ground cala bashes full of the enticiug liquor. As soon as the monkey sees and tastes it.ha. utters laud cries, of jov, that goon attract his comrades.

The drinkers are too far gone to distrust the negroes, but apparently take them fur iarger species of tneir own genius. The negroes take some up, and these begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. When a negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling to the one who-thus finds a support, and en deavor to go on also. Another will grasp at him, and so on until the negro-leads a staggering line of ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought to the village, they arejsecurely caged and gradually so bered down; but for two or three days a gradually diminishing supply of liquor is given them, so as to re concile them by degrees to their state of captivity.

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 . Fwtti ion cawiis a. 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.— Boston Herald. THE Flint, UtEWIOX Hi tIV. PETITION SENT TO SECRETARY PISH IN REGARD TO UNJUSTIFIABLE IMPRISON MENTS.

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.” Tcleisraplile Items.

A number of prom inent New York citizens join in tlie petition. Both brothers are natural ized American citizens, and Montez, when arrested, was provided with an A nierican passport. There were four hundred and fifty five deaths in the city during the past week. Tlie side wall aud roof of Jones’ Brewery, (11!) to 037 South street, fell witli a frightful crash early this morning, causing great alarm in the neighborhood. Many inmates of tho houses adjoining were badly fright ened and ran into the street half dressed. There were 40,000 bushels of grain in the building at the time, which stood on the upper and lower lofts, which probably caused some of the beams to give way. Loss on grain and building $40,000. Tho United States Direct Cable Company announced their line open for business to-day. The tariff from New York to Great Britain arid Ireland is seventy-five cents in gold per word.
