THE MISSING ERoNAuTs.~-Mr. La Noun.
tain. the missing Rronaut, with Mr.. Haddock,
his yentnresome companion, has not yet been
heard from. The report based upon tele-
graphic dispatch from Troy, to the effect that
the balloon had descended safely near kirgs-
ton, 9. w, is contradicted by subsequent
dispatch from Mr.. MorI son, the agent of Mr..
La Mountain, at Troy. The statement made
on the authority of Mr.. Morrison was tel
egraphed to this city Immediately after the
receipt of information which he was lead to
regard as authentic. Further investigation.
however failed to elicit a confederation of the
report, and up to last evening no further It'd
ings had been received. Messrs. La Mountain
and Haddock have now been missing for nearly
seven days. The Albany Atlas and Argus OF
yesterday, alluding to the apprehensions felt
for their safety, says:
Fears are enter tanned for the safety OF La
Mountain, the balloonist. He assembled from
Watertown, Jefferson county, on Thursday
afternoon last in company with John "A.
Haddock. The balloon struck the northeast
erly current, and was last seen about an hour
after its rise, evidently about two miles above
the earth, and travelling in n direction which
would have carried it into the St. Lawrence
region of Canada. Since then nothing has
been heard of either party. 1t was their in
tention when they left Watertown to make
but short voyage and return the next day,
tised at Kingsto &. W., on Thursday of this
week Mr. Haddock told his friends to expect
him back to dinner Friday.
1t is barely possible that they have descend
ed in some part of the country from which 1t
il impossible to communicate. Mr.. La Noun
,ains home is in Lansinburg, where his Wife
and child now are.

The FEMALES OF THE FRENCH ARMY
There is no army in Europe, save that of
France. which possesses an AmaZonian rear
guard-a rear-guard, however, only in SO far
that it is the duty OF those who compose ii To
follow the hattalions 10 which they are more
Immediately attached.
To every battalion of the French army, both
cavalry and infantry, are attached a certain
number of cantinieres and viyandieres, in ac-
cordance with the permission OF the command
ing officer. Some regiments have only three
others four; while the regiment of Zouayes
and ChasseurS can boast OF many as six
Whether the ladies are particularly attached
To the costume, To the gallant bearing Of the
men who compose these regiments, we are un
able 10 say. These, for the most part we'll
conducted and brave women, are generally the
wives OF men belonging to the regiment or
regiments to which they are more immediate
ly attached.
The duty of The cantinieres is similar to that
Of the holders of a canteen when The regiment
is in barracks or quarters. When before an
enemy in the field, they supply the men with
spirits, wine. tobacco. and occasionally luxu-
ries in the way of food. and not unfrequently
provide table for the officers: whereas, the
vivaudere follows the regiment (as do the
cantinieres also,) on the line of march, and
even 10 the battlefield, where, often under
fire, they present the refreshing cup OF wine,
or eau De Vie from the little keg swung across
their shoulders, to the parched lips of the
wounded or dying soldier. In one instance
during the Crlmean war, a yiyandiere who
was standing by the side of a wounded soldier
of the ps TO which she belonged, is known
TO have reloaded the firelock which had fallen
from his hands, and Tired on the Re treat ting Toe.
Among the men of the regiments TO which
the yiVaudieres are Immediately attached, il is
held as point of honor TO protect them from
insult and danger; while they, on their part,
are ever ready 10 sacrifice their own comforts,
and even their lives, TO succor wounded
comrade and they regard every man Of the
regiment as Il eomrade.

hundreds Of people have been TO see it, wv hat

asks another. "What the deuce won't they
get up next !'' And on it goes "What's that
blowing oft ," That is the escape OF hot air
When more heat is generated than is needed to
drive the press, it is passed off through the es-
cape pipe. No water is used. A fire is built
in the little furnace and the wheel set in mo-
ton, and away it goes. 1t needs no attention
any further than to keep the fire burning
Any boy can manage it. And besides driving
the press, it gives all the heat necessary 10
warm the room in the coolest weather 1t
can consume but little fuel and therefore can
not cost much to run it. 1t is the cheapest
power in the world. When first set UP the
draft was not good, and it failed to show its
power; but that difficulty has been overcome

SCOTTISH SERVANTS IN THE OLDEN TINE
The charge these old domestics used to take
of the interests of the family, and the cool
way in which they took upon them to protect
those interests, sometimes led to very provok-
ing, and sometimes to very ludicrous exhibit
tions of Importance. A friend told me of a
ference, which had happened at Airth in the
last generation. Mrs. Murray, of Abercair-
ney had been amongst the guests, and at din
ner one of the family noticed she was looking
for the proper spoon to help herself with salt.
The old servant Thomas. was appealed to,
that the want might be supplied. He did not
notice the appeal. 1t was repeated in a more
peremptory manner: g Thomas, Mrs. Murray
most emphatically-"Last time Mrs Murray
dined here we lost salt SPOON.
have heard of an old Forfarshire lady who,
knowing the habits of her old and spoiit ser
want when she wished for a note to be taken
without loss of time, held it open and read it
over to him, saying, "There moo, Andrew, ye
ken q that's int; moo, dinna stop to open il,
but Just send it af.'' OF another servant,
when sorely tried by an unaccus toned bus tie
and hurry, a very amusing anecdote has been
recorded. His mistress, q woman of high
rank, who had been living in much quiet and
retirement for some time, was called upon to
consulted with Nichol, her faithful servant,
and all the arrangements were made for the
great event. As the company were arriving.
the lady saw Nichol running about in great
agitation, ana In MS shirt sleeves. She re-
mons ira ted and said as the guests were coming
in he must put on his coat. "Indeed, my lady,

There was waggish old hancock at Dun-
trune for sixty years, and during three gener-
ations of its owners. In 1875, when his mas
ter was skulking, John found it necessary to
take another service and hired himself to
Mr. Wedderburn, of Pearsie; but he wearied
toget back to Duntrune. One day the Laird
of Pearsie observed him putting q spit through
a peat, lit may have been for the purpose of
cleaning it, be that as it may, the Laird in
quired the reason for so doing, and John re-
piled, "Indeed, sir, am just going to roast a
peat, for fear l forget my trade" At the end
of the two years he returned to Duntrune,
where he continued to exercise his calling till
near the close of life.-RamSay's Scottish Life

Trade was exceedingly depressed, with little
prospect of revival soon. The sugar crop
of the year would not exceed twenty three

in the exports, amounting TO s. 100000 in the
year. The local press was indignant at the
efforts of the Ant-Slavery Society of England
to prevent immigration from the East and
the papers assert that Jamaica has fallen, in
her material prosperity, since emancipation

Of sugar as in 1888, she will send ont only 3d.
