lyalioosing has received "a fresh impetus

y jyallooIiing has received a fresh impetus
from the Franco russian- war; and promises
soon to develop into first-class science. A
few facts concerning balloons may be of in
terest.. The discovery of the levity Of hydro
gen was made by Cavendish in l1GG, and in
1882 Cavallo, the electrician, tried the exper-
iment of raising small balloons by its aid.
The next year the brothers Joseph and
Stephen Montgolfer tested balloons on a
large scale, and De Rozier subsequently, as
cended, followed by Messieurs Charles and
Robert. In 1876 NJ. Blanchard and DIR.
John Jeffries OF Boston, Massachusetts,
crossed the English Channel and landed in
the forest Of Guines, France. During the
French Revolution each of the republican ar
mics was furnished with balloon for the
purpose of accommodating the enemy, but the
attempt was subsequently abandoned. The
part balloons have played in the present war
is known by every daily paper, in which the
line 'by balloon from Paris has become as
common as ''by telegraph" That some good
will come out of their use in the emergency
of the Parisians can hardly be doubted. All
any rate, it has demonstrated that @rial nav
igation is not nearly SO chimerical an affair
as some would have us suppose.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herali says sit is alleged that some OF
the bitter newspaper articles recently pub
lished criticising President Grants action on
the question of assessing clerks, were written
by Mr.. Patent Commissioner Fisher, who is
a brother-in-law of ex-Secretary Cox. Mad
anne Secretary Cox, after perusing one OF
these Fisher articles, cut ii out and enclosed
it TO Mrs. Grant, anonymously. Unfortu-
nately for Mrs. Cox, however, she accident
ally put the obnoxious article in an envelope
bearing the family monogram Of Cox, ard Of
course Mrs. Grant Immediately knew whence
il came. Further, she recognizes the cali
graphy of Madame Cox, from whom She had
received letters; therefore, when Mrs. Grant
glanced over the article she naturally felt in
dignant, and put il into Grant envelope
with'the simple but cutting words Returned
TO Mrs. Cox, with the compliments of Mrs
Grant Since then the two ladies. am in
formed, have not spoken"

STATE RIGHTS.

The doctrine of State Rights is not
as unpopular as it was some time
ago. When one purpose is to be
reached, the Radicals End it conven-
lent to cry down this great landmark
Of our free form Of government, but
when some favorite scheme or project
10 pinchcd BY the iron hand u con-
tralized power, they cry up State
Rights as the safeguard Of the peo-
PIE. Even from Massachusetts,, the
ancient and present home Of more at
tacks upon morals and good govern
ment than proceed from the balance
Of tho states, comes word Of defense
for State Rights. Mr.. Dawes ex-
plains the difference between State
Rights and State Sovereignty, and
leans toward tho former with all the
ardor Of new love. Prom Iowa al
SO comes demonstrations in favor of
State Kights. and resolutions to dc.
fend them ut all hazards. The ques.
ton in that state is thus presented
During the late war. several counties
in Iowa issued bonds to aid in tho
construction Of railroads. This they
were auth rizcd to do by the Lcgis-
laturc. Tho constitutionality Of
this act being questioned, : test case
was proposed before the Supreme
Court Of Iowa. which decided the
bonds to be valid. Thcreupon more
bonds were issued; and when some o!
the counties dcfaulted payment Of
the interest, the holders sued in tho
United States Courts, and recovered
judgments. Subsequently the Su-
prsmc Court Of lows was changed in
its composition. new members enter
ing it and the former decision on the
bonds was reversed. Accordingly,
the counties. under tho latter decis.
ion rcpudiated the bonds. but when
the holders again sued for interest in
the United States Courts. they again
recovered Judgments, and the Courts,
on the refusal of certain county Su-
1ervisors to levy tar to pay tho ac-
cru.t interest, ordsrcd their arrest
aud Imprisonment for contempt
Thereupou the citizens became in
dignant, clai1ing that when the Su
prcme Court ct iowa reversed its
decision, the District Court Of the
United States should have followed
ia tie same direction. This is State
Rights in Iowa. a few years s;n,c
the man who defended that doctrine
in Iowa. would have been in danger
Of rope. Now the people are cx-
cited in reference to the matter. and
