Lieu,enants Gore and Fitzgsral, and
eight seamen, of the British sloop OF war
Melville, lost their lives OFT Angola bay
in April last, in most distressing man
nor. On the approach OF stormy n'gh'
one OF the senmen fell from the yard arm
into the sea, and not being uble to s~''n'
Lieut. Gore jumped overheard TO save
him. He dad not succeed IN finding the
man, aud two boats, each with l''ulen-
ant crew, put of TO their assistance in
the mean time, the storm had ieariul',
increased one f the bods swamped,
and all on board we're lost; Lieut. Gore,
and tho seaman he so nobly perri'ied h's
life to save, were seen no more and IN
less than an hoor, two gallant aud prom
isinr young officers, aud eight seamsn
passed from the full viqor Of youth aud
health, into eternity. And most appal-
ling, an allectionste father was doomed to
witness the loss of an only son, III whom
mis- londes, hopes were cherished.

REVERDY JOHNSON.
Barnum's Hotel, Aug. l4th, 1885.

The Erial Ship We notice IN Lon
don paper.a description Of vessel now
constructing 10 that city tor an mrial
voy aye to Paris. 1t is of an oblong shape,
pointed at both ends, and il is supposed
that if floated in the lir aud tho wind
should be'in the tight direction of the
current and move swiftly without oscillia-
ton. If the wind should be slightly con-
trary, tho propretory hope to direct it by
two tan-Iike wings or hns aud rudder
like tbs tail fin Of fish. These are not
attached to the balloon itself, but TO the
passenger car which swings beneath, and
being made Of net work is very light. Ii
tho wind should be much opposed TO the
proposed course, the navigators must
come down to the earth and wait for IA
more favorable opportunity. The apPa-
ratus Tor descending consists in an air
balloon within the gas balloon ; when this
is inflated b. means of a SIMPLE condens-
inp apparatus, its weight added to tho bal
last in the car will sink the balloon as
near the ground as tho navlgators wish.
The balloon itself is Of a cotton fabric, 80
VANISHED rs to be air tight. 1t will only
support twenty persons, ten sailors and
ten passengers, and this at grent ex-
psnso of gas and this with it's uncertain
~ (as il must wait for the wind, will
make il rather an iuconvenient method Of
travelling. IT is perhaps little more
capablc of guidance ,haa tho common
balloon, aud certainly little safer.

BIBLICAL STATISTICS. 1t was stated
by Mr. Dudley, at the late meeting Of the
Gloucester Bible Society, that the parent
society had distributed nine millions o.
Bioles aud Testaments since ilS lornlS-
tion in 1904, aud that during tie whole
OF last year, excluding Sunday, and al
loving twelve hours 10 eac, day, there.
had been a continual str@a,n OF the wa
lers OF Lille flowing from the depository in
Londoa, at the rate OF nearly three cop
lies OF the sacred scriptures every minute!

which ate spoken in the world, 40 portion
Of the l,dy scfiphrcs had ssstfs tpe..iad
| III print in more than iorty-niae, before
the establishment Of the .bible society Z;
but that now, by the blessing OF God on
the labors cf that institution, the number
printed, translated or irsnslating, amounts
to on. hundred and eishty-fve different
languages. Ii the sacred volumes al
ready issued by this society were placed
side by side, allowing two inches to be-
the thickness of each book, they would
extend upwards of four hundred and se-
venty-six niles. And yet there remain
upwards Of six hundred and twenty mill
ions of human beings whom the light oil
the gospel has never reached !

NArcHRz, July "a. The operations
a, Vicksburg have had tho effect Of
closing the dancing and gambling houses

their inmates. A laige party won't down
last, week and broke TO pieces some 5
or 90 roulette aud pharo tables. The
occupants of the gambling and dance

the nows from Vieksburg. The people
appear to he determined that the houses

pied It all. The property in the lower
part Of Silver street, would be equal in
value TO any part Of the city, aud we are
no, certain if it could not DO made the
most valuable par, Of the town, II matters
were differently arranged. The villages
Of Washington and Woodvi|ls have also
followed suit in driving the gamblers IRON
those places and we learn that o'hor
towns and villages IN this State will pur.
sue the same course.

Cant Back arrived in town on Saturday

Can, Back arrived in town on Saturday
evening. from his Arctic expedition, and
took lodgings at the City Hotel. he
proceeded for England in the packet ship
North American, which sailed this morn
ming for Liverpool. -,
The friends of Capt Back, here and
elsewhere, have reason to regret his spec
DIV departure to his own country. But
such was his anxiety to return, that he
has declined the civilitiss rendered him
ot Montreal, Albany and this city. A
large crowd attended at the steam boat
this forenoon, to pay their respects to the
intrepid officer. We trust he will have a
speedy passage and find Cap, Ross under
a more penial sky than he anticipated
