Dr.. JULES GUERIN recently laid before
the Academy of Sciences at Paris two
schemes for maintaining Geographic
communication between Paris and the
provinces by means of balloons The
first consists in sending up a captive
balloon and paying cut a telegraph wire
from it By means of free balloon. until
the latter reaches the ground. The in
termediate portion of the wire would be
kept IN the air at the desired height by
a series Of small balloons attached to it
at distance from each other. The sec
ond plan is n wire enclosed in tube.
The latter, having a series of intersec-
lions filled with gas, would constitute a
kind oftubular balloon, which would, as
In the former case, be paid out by
captive balloon, and would follow the
free balloon until the latter reached the
desired destination.

A PAIR OF SPrEs.-Two peasants were
shot, the other day, near Paris, for con
veying information. Their way of pro
ceeding was as follows: Having dis
covered where the last German sentinel
was placed, one peasant came up
through the German lines pretending
that he was going to gather grapes III
his field, which happened to be just
outside of the Prussian boundary. OF
course the sentinel refused to let him
pass While he is gesticulating and
pleading his cause, mp comes another
blue bloused peasant ooh, my dear
brother" cries blouse No. l; how art
thou, and how art thy wife and child
REM" The two brothers embrace, and
each slip packet of letters into the
others blouse under the nose of the SEN
try. But the other morning a sentry
was more suspicious, and he put himself
and his needle-gun between these two
dear brothers and Paris, and sent them
off to the supports in the rear. When
searched whole bundles of letters were
found on them, and they were at once
shot as spies

The suicide of boy ten years old, at
Newcastle, Indiana, the other day, says
an Indianapolis paper, is singular in
stance of the manner curiosity affects
even the youngest persons. He had a
happy home, kind parents, and a good
mind, and there was no earthly cause
why he should seek death. But sui
eide having been committed by hanging
near his home, he was seized with a
morbid curiosity to try the method him
self and see how it felt The result was
death. Whether his arrangements were
defective, or whether he lost conscious
ness and was unable to stop the expert
ment when he thought it had gone far
enough, can not of course now be told,
but his sin, for it was sin, was terribly
punished.

INGENUITY IN availing themselves of
the elacticity of the Franking Privilege
is not confined alone 10 patriotic mem
bers of the American Congress. The
Field Mail of the German army receives
no packages; but all letters weighing
less than IS ounces are forwarded free
Of charge. A pair of flannel drawers,
therefore, cannot be sent in a letter. but
feminine ingenuity has hit upon plan
of sending one leg at time. And as
for flannel shirts, the sleeves are sent in
one letter and the body of the shirt in
another. This dislocation of garments
is symbolical Of the disruption of the
ties which bind two loving hearts; and
their ultimate reunion is suggested by
the putting together of the aforesaid
shirts and drawers on their arrival in
camp.

THB DUKE OF RICHMOND, who has been SO.
lected as the leader Of the Tories In the House
of Lords, was only chosen after the position
had Teen offered to several more dIItIn-
gulshed members Of the party. Afler Lord
Cairns had declined the post on account OF
III health, the leadership In the Lords was
offered to the Earl Of Derby, better known
by his former courtesy title Of Lord Stanley,
who, after nlling several cabinet offices, was
Secretary for Foreign Affairs In 1850. The
Earl OF Derby, tits asserted, refused the
leadership In consequence OF his dlsincllna-
ton TO act as lieutenant under Dlsraeli aud
of his luksWarm devotion to Tory principles.
In his letter OF decllnatlon, however, he
pleads bis ineIperlenee In the practice of
the House Of Lords and his consequent In
efficiency. The Marquis OF Salisbury, the

OF Lennon In Scotland, and Duke OF Aublguy
In France. He was born In 1918, graduated
NJ Oxford University In 1880, entered the

Ohio, with several OF his constituents, called
on Secretary Boutwell, on Monday and, in
conversation with him, said they hoped he
would shortly recommend a reduction Of
taxation that they desired particularly that
the odlous Income tar should be repealed.
Tho Secretary replied that he disagreed with
them In regard to that tax he was not only
opposed to Its repeal, but even to Its reduc-
ton, believing It to be the most Just and
equitable OF all the systems OF taxation !
that out Of 100000 OF people there were
only about $50, 900 who were effected by this
tar. He had no objection to repeating the
tax on transportation, which amounted to
about $1,000, 900, and on licenses, making
about "a, oo0, 900 more, but was opposed tC
interfering with the income tax. A reduc
ton Of that tar to three per cent. Woult
