CONFINED IN BANK Vault. The New
Orleans Picayune says the Louisiana Say
ings Bank is building large vault. Adj
mission to it is gained through large wrought
iron doors, to which are affixed patent locks
These locks were put in order lately by a
locksmith named Tympc. After arranging
the lastenings on the door he lit a candle and
proceeded inside the vault to see how they
fitted. Closing the door after him the ccccn-
tric catch OF the lock fell, locking him in,
Those upon the outside could render him no
assistance, since it was a combination lock,
and no one knew the numbers at which it
was set In this narrow cell, shut in by the
four walls Of the vault and the huge iron
door, the man felt as if he was buried alive.
The only means by which he could obtain
air or drink was through n small hole in the
door, not the twentieth OF an inch in diane
ter. The atmosphere OF the cell-lke place
WAS fetid and noisomc, and the man felt rs
if he would sutfocate. Fortunately he had
carried with him into the vault Il hammer
and chisel, and with them, the only nstru-
ments he had, he proceeded TO cut his way
ont. The work was slow and tedious, and
required two hours and q half OF incessant Ia
bor. He succeeded at last, however, and was
taken, more dead than alive, from the vault
The wonder is that he did not .nflorate.

BALLOON VOYAGE.

That very successful aerial voyager. Pro

trip is so interesting that it is worth publish
ing.
Soon after rising from the starting point,
the whole of Ulster, Sullivan and Delaware
counties, the Catskill Mountains, and bound
a'leS OF pennsylvania and much more were
brought into view. The Professors compan-
ION grew enthusiastic. and his exclalnafions
were wildly in accordance. Three-fourths of
lhe way to the top of the Shawangunk Noun
talns they noticed long steep prccipicc, and
when they reached the top they found there
wide plateau, on which was a pond of
water. Higher and higher rose the balloon,
me blood OF the aeronauts coursing through
their veins at tremendous speed. till sud
denly the aerial ship entered the clouds seven
minutes and half after its departure from
earth. Suddenly the air became singing
cold, and the YoyagerS were compelled to
tnrn M their coat collars and to rub their
ears and noses to prevent them from freezing.
Their cheeks reddened their ewes sparklcd.
and their whole frames seemed TO be sinou-
larly affected They were hidden from
everything earthly entirely. The cloud itself
seemed to be quite dry and light. and. as the

prismatic colors flashed and wavered before
the optics OF the daring voyagers For full
five minutes Were they thus sinoulariy sur
rounded, during all Of which time they WERE
0t course, unable to ascertain towards which
pplnt OF the compass they were steering. As
they emerged from their pure white and
heeoY surroundings the good ship of the air
broke from its close conlinemenis into the
most glorious sunlight, and above it us far as
the eye could see the blue arch OF heaven
was visible while below the white rolling
clouds, tinged with the rays OF the sun. add

tween May and August The
bulk Of our cotton crop has been
already exported, and there Is COM
paratiVely little to come forward.
We have only the exports Of pc
trOleum and grain to rely upon to
diminish the outflow Of specie.
Under ordinary circumstances,
then, We may expect an advance in
the gold premium after the present
month and II does not appear how
the Government can prevent 1t.
Here are the prospects Of fresh
complications arising from our
variable irredeemable currency.
How ell this can help the Bout
well-Sherman policy Of equalizing
bonds with gold, so far as to facili-
tate their conversion at lower rates
Of i%nterest, is one Of those prob
lens that can only be solved by the
purely official mind.
The New York Economist,
speaking Of England reducing tax
alton, and the United States in
creasing 1t, says:
The idea Of the United States
Government is to pile up the taxes,
and accumulate a large surplus in
the Treasury. In England, OH the
contrary, the principle is adopted
Of reducing the taxes to the lowest
possible point, and keep the Trea-
sury balances down to q sum that
is barely necessary 10 cover exc
penses.
This policy of re uCtion of taxa
tion in England ID by no means
novel. 1t has been practiced for a
series of years. 1t is found by ex.
~perience that the capacities Of the
people for taxation are increased by
every successive reduction. This
is easily accounted for. Taxation
10 q burden upon industry, and an
impeachment to production. A re-
mOvAl Of the pressure gives an i'm
petus to manufactures aud CON-
merce, and thus renders the people
better able 10 sustain taxation.
The English people under this
policy have steadily grown in
wealth and prosperity, and the
credit Of the government is second
to none In the world.
The difference between the debts
Of the two countries may be urged
40 an argument In favor Of our
high pressure system Of taxation.
The Engllsh government does not
feel called upon to provide for the
payment Of the principal Of the
national debt. In the United States
the extinguishment of our debt is
very properly regarded as q cardi-
nal feature. But II we reduce the
principal at the rate OF, say $685.
100000 . year, and provide for the
certain payment Of the interest,
that Is as much as we ought to at
tempt just now.
We insist that the taxes can be
reduced to the amount Of from
S60,O00,OO0 to &80,O00,0OO, with far
better results to the credit of the
government and the prosperity OF
the people than can be attained
BY q surplus of 100000, 900,
drained from the life-blOOd OF the
people.
