Monsieur is correct Those are the ar

| asked permission TO consult with my
friend Cabouet, and having Consulted with
him, | came to the conclusion to be salts

[ was now certain tLat the whole thing
was a police job to relisve ne of my
Ldaternes, as easily ap possible. We
left the Office with ny valise (all the light

look or word for NJ. Pierre Blaite, who
over .ook, aud passed US, on his way, to
home and his invalid wife. We went to
the hotel, and finished our wine and cigar.
Ny friend Jean Caboulet and myself
both agreed that this matter of the con-
tents Of my valise must have become
known to the authorities, but too late Tor
them to take any but the rather extraor-
binary steps that had SO surprised and en-.
ragged me.
That rascal had propably just succeed

I should have had my "Lanternes" in

Yes" said Jean Caboulet, but then
we should not have had this pleasant
evening
The evening had not compensated me
Jor the loss Of my "Lonte'nes," but was
glad that my friend had enjoyed it.

Erial NaVigation-Trial of the New
Air Ship,

The San Francisco Netcs Letter has the
following in relation to the trial of the new
air ship, which it is claimed, is destined to
revolutionize the manner of travelling in
this country.
An engineers trial trip Of the model
steam carriage, Just completed at the Avlt-
Or works, She'll Mound park, vas made
yesterday (tnday) morning, In the pres
ence OF the constructing engineers, several
OF the shareholders of the Hrial Steam
Navigation company, number of employ
es OF the San Jose railroad who happened
TO lie IN the vicinity, and of residents In
the neighborhood. The morning was
beautiful and stiil-scarcely breath of air
stirring. All the conditions were most fa>
vorable to success. The gasometer was
fully inflated at fifteen minutes past six o ;
clock. aud the model was foaed out of the
building ana across the race track to the
open space In the center In SIX minutes
steam was got up, the rudder set to give a
slight curve to the course Of the vessel
| aud the valves opened. With the first
turn OF the propelers she rose slowly into
the AR, gradually increasing her speed UNI
til the rate OF five miles an hour was attain
ed. The position Of the rudder caused her
to describe a great circle, around which
she passed twice, occupying about five
minutes each time. Lines had been fast
ened to both bow and stern, which were
| held by two men, who followed her track
and had sufficient ado to keep upwith her
at dog trot. As she completed describ
ing the second circle, pull given to the
head line, unlntenlOnally caused the rud>
der to shift to fore>and aft position, when
the model pursued a straight fiji ght up the
race track about a quarter of a mile she
was then turned around, and then retraccd
her flight to the point Of departure; whence
being duly guided She entered the build
ing. The fires were drawn and the
first extensive flight Of vessel for aerial
navigation was accomplished. The
total distance traverSed was little over a
mile.
| The appearance of the vessel in the air
was really beautiful. As seen in the build
! ing she looked cumbrous and awkward
just as a ship looks cumbrous and awk ward
on the stocks. The change of appearance
as she is crcling gracefully through the air,
Is equal to that Of the same ship when seen
IN the water The first moment of open
Ing the steam valve was one of suspense.
As the vessel rose and forged slowly "a
head, the suspense was scarcely dissipated;
but In very few seconds her speed IN
creased-in obedience to the rudder she
commenced to swing around the curve
| the men at the guys broke into a trot. and
cheer upon cheer rose from tic little group.
In syears to come it will be something for
these men to tell, that they were present
at and saw the first mile flight ever accom-
plished in the grand discovery of aerial
navigation.

Sell his Cattle.

Capt. R was formerly clerk in a
dry goods store. and was not possessed of
that plety which how permeDtes his whole
system. One day reverend brother gave
him call and asked for contributions to
the cause of foreign missions. Il said he
could net give anything he was pooI.
But the Lord is pooe too, and needs
your help" said the collector.
The Lord poor y exclaimed r. Don't
the scriptures say the cattle on thousand
hills are his?'
Yes. | can't deny that" said the
preacher.
We'll, them said r. let him sell his
cattle !"
The agent for the missionary cause left
without another word, and related this
fearful case with many prognostcs OF evil
to the hardened sinner who would give
such answers.

REMARKABLE AccIDENT-D1sAsTRoU
ETFECTs.-A letter received at Louisville
from Princeton, Ky, speaks Of u fearful
accident which occurred on the 10th ult.
A man named Boot Crow was hauling
upon wagon two immense mill stones,
one of which weighed 1850 pounds.
While passing along the side of high
hill the heaviest stone rolled from the
wagon and down the declivity with great
velocity, crushing small trees and shrub
berry in its course. The house of farm
er named Darwell was situated at the foot
of the hill. The millston went crushing
through fence and into the yard OF tho
farmers house, where were number of
bec-hivcs. In the yard were playing q
bcyy of children. The bee-hives were
upset, and the bees in the confusion light
ed upon tho children, singing every one
of them in frightiul manner. The pro-
gress of the great stone was not impeded
in the least BY its collision with the hives,
and went bounding into stock pasture
beyond the house. 1t dashed into herd
of calves and horses, killing two Of the
former and one of the latter almost in
stantly. The children in the yard had
been completely covered with the bees,
and each was stung by them until their
persons were entirely covered with white
swellings. One of them died few hours
after the terrible occurrence, and two 9th
ers are entirely specchless and blind.
They can hardly recover.

OLD JEssE.-The number and variety

last one:
A young man over in Covington the
other day met and accosted Jesse, al
though i gnorant as to who he was, and
requested him to furnish him with change
for five dollar bill. He acceded, and
while making the necessary transfer, be-
ing loath to lose an opportunity for mak-
ing himself known, he took occasion to
say, "Young man, do you know that you
are talking to the father Of the greatest
man in this country?' He was immedis
ately informed by the party addressed
that he was not aware that ne stood in
the presence of one who had that proud
distinction. eyes," resumed the garru-
lous Jesse, handing over the desired
change, ~ am the father of the most il.
lustrlous hero this country ever produc-

q moment with an expression OF grave
astonishmsnt on his face, and then ex-
claimed, "What; you don't tell me you

pleadings, and who should have been the
apple afI1 Of his eye. One stroke of ill-treat-
ment followed another in quick succession,
until Mrs. Flotrou, outraged beyond endur-
ance, and fearful OF personal violence to
herself and her child, lovely little girl
of years, was forced to have recourse to
the final remedy. And thus, yesterday
morning, only a day or two after the an
niversary of her marriage, nine years
ago, petition for divorce was filed in
this city.-Chicago Times.

SINGULAR OccURRENcE.-A few eve
nngs since Mr.. Charles E. Hughes, q
young man between fifteen and sixteen
years of ago, while asleep at his brothers
store in Blnndford, was awakened by a
very curious sensation about his face.
On opening his eyes he was amazed to
find his body encircled by a hugo black
snakc-and tho head of the reptile in
close promixity to his mouth. The snake
was evidently inhaling the young mans
breath, or endcavoring to insert its head
in his mouth, and it was the cold contact
with the face that awakened him. The
impudent reptile, on being shaken of, ,
managed to escape. 1t is said to be very
long and very large. Shortly before
going to sleep Mr.. Hughes drank guam
tity of milk, and it is supposed the snake
was attracted by its odor in the young
mans notwithstanding Mder.

the writer says:
"There has been some talk among tho
Republicans who shall be nominated for
the next election. F. j. Moses, Jr., will
try and satisfy his ambition by becoming
Lieutenant. Governor. No one but Scott
is spoken of for Governor. Sawyer is
not at all popular with his party here, and
though spoken Of as a conservative can
