BALLOONS IN BATTLR.-The London Times
has the following: The Emperor of Austria
makes up his mind TO do a remarkably fno
piece of Louis Quatorze strategy. He ex-
ecutes an elaborate piece of old fashioned de-
cepion. crossing the Mincio with his whole
force, and then recrossing it whith his two
hundred thousand men, and fixing the con
templated surprise of the enemy at 0 clock
in the morning. The Emperor of the French, +,
representing the juvenile irregular school, in
the most ungentlemanlike manner refuses to
be surprised Having recourse TO a new
tangled oxpediout which no trustworthy vet
eran who can count his seventy years would
condescend TO use he sends man up in a
balloon and, at the expense of a few yards
of silk and iow square feet of gas, is told the
exact position of all those masses which are
drawn up so scientifically out of his sight
with the intention Of surprising him at the
comfortable, leisuIely hour Of 0 a. m. The
man of his time-thc clever, active, shrowd
nothing g-contemning adventurer OF the nine
teenth century, by dint Of this small con-
trivance. becomes master Of the position. He
knows what is going TO happen and where
his enemy is, and how many he is, aud while
the heavy, self complacent Austrian is chuck
ling at the formal surprise that is to come of
at a. m. he attacks at daybrcak, chooses his
own time and point OF attack, and remains
master of the field. The Mimic rife preserv-
ed India to England, the riAed cannon won
Montebello and Magenta for the French i; and
to the same arm, combined with that much
ridiculed balloon reconnaissance, the French
owe it that Solferino was a French victory,
and that Napolean Ill. is now before Verona.

DERRYFrELD, Sept 30, 1910.
Ny FRIEND Yours of the 25th of July,
is but Just received, inviting me again to par
take of your festival. Had not your letter
been stopped in its passage to me, its con-
tents could have made no difference for it is
now 80 years since | have been in wear, and
am worn beyond all hope of repairs. The
disease and pain attending the last stage of
life render many Of the surrounding objects
that once delighted in Indifferent to me !;
but if anything could have given me pleasure,
it would to have been present with you on
the 10th of August. A scene like that must
have brought to my recollection the principal
events of my life. could remember how
British tyranny arose, and how it yielded to
the untutored bravery of Democracy; and
particularly as being on that fortunate spot
with so many of the brave men who taught
the tyrant's tools the hard lesson.
In your letter you praise me exceedingly for
being the fortunate commander of valiant
men. To merit the praise of my Country
has been a leading motive Of my life. I'm
merited praise is satire wherefore we should
be careful not to bestow too mcuh praise, un-
less we mean to satirize.
You mention being pleased with the toast
gave you last year | have the best evil
dence that the people of your rugged country
do sincerely accord with such sentiments, for
in II you displayed evidence by practice !;
and have no doubt, if we had Congress
now who had the resolution to express the
will of the Nation. you would be found as
ready as you were then.
Be assured of my friendship for yourselves,
and the others of the inhabitants of the
Green Mountains, and accept my thanks for
their respect.

IL A clever sailor has lately joined the
Sons of Temperance in the city of Philadel-
phia, after running course of dissipation,
by which his means were pretty well exhaust
ed. At the time of signing the pledge, he
was indebted to the rum-seller one shilling.
A few days ago he went to pay off the score,
but being determined not to enter the house
in which he had been robbed, he got long
pole, attached piece of money to the end OF
it, and standing at the outside of the door,
reached it to the astonished publican, and
marched off with july heart.

RGr Messrs Lane and McCarty, the re-
turned Senators, addressed jammed au-
dience in the Hall of Representatives, at In
dianapolis, on Thursday evening.
Mr. McCarty analysed tie legal ami con-
stitutional principles involved in the Sena-
torial contest, and denounced in no measur-
ed terms, the insults heaped upon the sover-
eign State of Indiana by the U. S. Senate
under the plea of res adyudicatd. He had
been 4 Democrat, and should still be true to
Democratic principles. In obedience to
those principles, be recognized itas his duty,
and the duty of all honest men, to unite for
the complete overthrow of that base party
spirit and its baser tools, who, in power at
Washington, have dethroned the sovereignty
of States and of the people.
Col. IT. s. Lane followed him in an elo-
quent speech of an hours length. After
reviewing the incidents and results of their
late mission to Washington, he foreshadow-
ed the principles and platform upon which
the people would unite, in 1860, with the
enthusiasm and power which swept every
thing before it in 1910.
The leading principles would be the non-
extension of slavery, tariffs for revenue, not
for protection, the rights of the people
rather than the benefit of politicians, and
an honest and economical administration OF
| the government.

a steam Ice Boat.


Mr. Ward, at Pr, irie du Chen, on the
Upper Mississippi, has boat nearly COM
pleted which is to carry one hundred passen-
gers and navigate the Northern rivers on
the ice during the winter. 1t promises to
make an entire revolution in the winter
travel and expectation on the rivers of Wis
consin and Minnesota. The inventor and
builder gives the following description of
the craft:
She is twelve feet in width by seventy in
length, and, when resting upon the water,
would displace about one foot in depth. 1t
will be propelled by pair of locomotive en-
gines, acting on single driving-wheel, to
which adhesion is given by various devices.
The bottom, ends, and sides of the hull, for
about three feet in height, are of iron; the
upper part is inclosed and finished similar
to a passenger car, are warmed by steam
pipes, and will accommodate one hundred
passengers; it is steered by a pilot familiar
with the river, by devices which give him
perfect command over it.
A steam brake is attached, by which its
velocity may be perfectly controlled; the
boat is supported on skates or runners, so
adjustable as to pass through snow five feet
in depth without presenting any considera-
BILE resistance.
"If it breaks through the ice or encoun-
tiers an air hole, machinery is prepared,
which, in a few minutes, puts it again on
the ice ready for onward progress. The
driving wheel is near the stern, and the in
ventor calculates the ordinary speed on the
ice at twenty to forty miles an hour, snd
with clear, solidfce, he believes his vessel scan
easily be made to attain a speed of eighty
! miles. The entire boat, when loaded with
passengers and cargo, iscalculated to weigh
thirty-two tuns."
She will be completed so as to make an
experimental trip with her before the ice
breaks up in the Spring. Some of the pa
perS indulge in brilliant visions of what is
to be accomplished for the traveller by this
invention. They say
" The North West is on the eve of a new
and unparalleled development. Her rivers
many thousands of miles in extent, will be
even more practicable and useful in Winter
than in Summer, and the speedy establish
ment of a swift overland mail from st. Pau
to Pugets Sound, is inevitable. For the
Mississippi, the Red River of The North, thC
Saskatchewan, the Frazer River (Which i;
separated from the Saskatchewan near theil
respective sources in the Rocky Mountain;
by n distance OF only 81 yards), may easily
be made to form network of ice naviga-
ton, broken only by three or four brief por-
tages, from the railroads of Wisconsin ant
the East to the deep waters of Puget:
Sound and the Pacific. Ten days, at most
of comfortable Winter travel, through
grand and varied scenery, most Of it still
untamed by the industry, unhackneyed by
the descriptions of civilized man, with am
pie supplies in the harder, replenished from
day to day with the choicest game and fish
served up hot and tempting by the cook n
the steamer Skins glibly over the ice, Should
suffice for traversing the whole distance from
the Mississippi to Puget Sound.

A SINGULAR AprA1R.-The Louisvil

A SINGULAR AFFAIR.-The Louisville
Courier says
Some weeks since respectable young
lady of this city was married to a man who
passed by the name of Edward j. Warren
They went on bridal trip to Cincinnati
and took rooms at the Gait House, in that
city. There, after remaining a week, the
bridegroom left his young wife one bright
morning, and never returned to the hotel to
her knowledge; nor did he by word or 9TH
erwise give clue to his strange conduct
After waiting with weary heart for some
time, and receiving no intelligence concern
ing her husband she was forced, from want
of money, to return 10 her friends in this
city, and knowing not whether she has been
wilfully deserted or whether her husband
has been foully dealt with.
The lady formed the acquaintance of War
rem six months or more ago, at Harrodsburg,
Ky, and he paid her addresses from their
first acquaintance.
The Cincinnati papers say it was a base
and heartless desertion of a young lady
whom the villain had married for the vilest
motives.

nsa-Tn the. House, on Wednesday, Mr..
Blair of st. Louis, Mo-, offered an amend
ment to the Post Office bill, condeuming
Postmaster General Brown for his overland
mail contract, by which the mail, he said,
had been made to pass through the Postmas-
ter Generals Arkansas lands, and by which
the length of the route had been increased
900 miles, at a heavy expense to the Gov
ernment. This is the reiteration of a charge
made more than year ago in the St. Louis
Democrat
