A CURIOUS Observation-Disclosures dis.
patches say that Government will soon have
TO act upon curious demand, made by Afri-
cans recaptured from slave vessel, who will
ask to be restored to their native land. Many
will remember the excitement caused through
the country in 1859, during the administra-
ton of President Buchanan, by the capture
off Cuba by U. S. cruiser of vessel called
the Wanderer, then on her way from Africa
with cargo of negroes. The condition OF
these poor creatures was such that the cap
tain OF the cruiser felt it to be his duty to put
into Savannah, which was the nearest port.
Mr.. Buchanan telegraphed, when he was in
formed OF the capture, to have the SLAYER at
once brought to some Northern port, but be-
lore ms dispatch reached Savannah lawless
gang boarded the Wanderer, took the negroes
Oh snore, and ran them off toward the Cult of
Mexico SO distributing them that the feeble
Efforts OF Democratic officials To recover them
were unavailing. Nothing more was hoard of
the Wanderers cargo of Africans until Rev

of bis mission aud OF the people of Afri-
ca, he repeated the Lords prayer IN Youbian

A little group in the back of the church at
once broke out into a shout OF delight, which
was mistaken for religious enthusiasm by the
preacher until at the close OF the service,
when they came throngiDg around him, and
addressed him in their African tongue. They
told him that they were part OF the Wan
derer's cargo, abducted at Savannah and
described how they were first kidnapped in
their own country by the Dahomies, when on
a trading expedition, and sold to the captain

New SCHEME FOR NAVIGATING AIR.
1t the French are not an inventive nation they
are sometime good imitators Some serious
individual has borrowed the familiar idea of
encouraging speed in jackass by coaxing him
with whisp of hay held temptingly in front of
him, and proposes to apply the principle to the
direction of balloons, which by the way, and to
serve as means of transportation for men and
mails to the extent of 10000 pounds to each
balloon. 1t is proposed to send an envoy from
Paris to foreign court by this means, are this
is the plan for carrying him out of the belea-
guered city:
-Four vigorous birds are to be harnessed TO
tina baloon-four eagles would suffice to con-
duct the aerostat against the strongest cur
rents. The birds are to be guided by long
pole, at the end of which is large piece of raw
meat, which the birds are continually trying to
seize. Should the driver. wish to 90 to the
right, he places his perch in that direction, ard
the same if be wishes to go to the left. The
same operation is effected for mounting or de-
scending A trial was made last Friday, in
the presence of the Directors of the Post and
several scientific gentlemen. Four eagles, be-
longing to the Jardin des Plantes, were found
to sufficient to raise a balloon charged with a
weight of 10000 pounds. The experiment was
considered most satisfactory, and the first voy-
age to be made will take place on Monday
next. Should this immense innovation sue
coed the world will have to thank the Prus-
slams for besieging Paris.

A BALLOON ESCAPE FROM PARASITIC bal
loon Egalite which assembled from Paris on the

following particulars of the trip: On Thurs
day the Egalite started from Paris with six
passengers, four of whom were government Of

paid 900 francs for passage. Their balloon
Grifted into a current which carried them aloft
in northerly direction over the Prussian lines
at st. Denis, Pierreftte, Com 3eigne and st.
Quentin, at an altitude of $500 metees. The
weather was as balmy as in August and the
observations of the Prussan camps were clear
ly taken. Over Compeigne the travellers were
startled by volley land could discern Prussian
rifemen firing at them.
They estimate that at least 5000 shots were
expended against their conveyance. Owing to
gerous proximity. Paris could still be dis
cerned. Brussels was sighted between Douay
and Valenciennes. From Compeigne the bal
loon attained an altitude of $500 metres. The
balloon sailed steadily onward and soon crossed
the Belgian line. 1t descended at Louvain
with great peril, dragging the anchor through
rough ground for three kilometres with fearful
velocity for twenty minutes. The anchor final
ly became entangled and the balloon descend
ed. The travellers were severely cut and
bruised. At Louvain they took the Northern
railway and arrived at Brussels. The news
they bring from Paris is excellent. There is
subsistence of all kinds for ten weeks longer.

Apparently, Gen. Butler will not find many
persons agreeing with him in his views re-
speeding the alabama and the fisheries, as
erunciated in his Boston Lyceum address.
The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that ifthere
ever was such perfectly malapropos time, or
such speech as Gen. Buffers, that time is
now; and the Boston Journal, which pub.
fishes the address in full, tells him that the
Republican organization asks tor no such
method of perpetuating its power, and that it
repudlates all such malevolent suggestions
from whatever quarter they come. The Jour-
nal anticipates that the party will, in its owl
ing nothing but what is right, and by submit
