! Balloon voyage Across the
Atlantic.

Tie Philadelphia .Sfdr says: Pro-
fessor John Wise, lie weli-known
aeroBaut, has it in contemplation TO
make balloon trip across the Allan
tic next summer, preparations for
the great aerial voyage being in pro-
cess OF arrangement now The Pro-
fessor, If will be remembered, made
the famous air trip freln St. Louis to
the eastern extremely Of Lake Onta-s
RIO, distance of over 1900 miles, in
the short space OF about 10 hours, or
at the rate OF about tj3 miles an hons.
He feels entirely confident of his abil-
ity to make the quickest tfiD on rec
ord across the Atlantic. Quite anum-
Der of scientific gentlemen have made
application for permission 10 accom-
pany him In this greatest of al hal
looming expeditions. As showing
how far America is ahead in aero
nanties, so far as distance Travelled is
concerped, the longest Grip ever made
by Europeaii balloonist was only
100 miles, white shat OF Professor
Wise's was three times that distance
and. what is more. the greater portion
of il was accomplished in the midst
Of a cyclone, and with three passen-s
gers beside himself.

Never Again.

There is touch of pathos about
doing even the simplest thing for the
last time. 1t is not alone kissing the
lips of the dead that gives you this
strange pain I You feel it when you
look your last upon soine scene which
you have i0yed-whea you stand in
some quiet street, where you know
yon will never stand again, unless, i'm
decd, you come back some day to the
old haunts, and wander among
dbein an unweicome ghost.
The actor playing his part for the
last fime-the singer whose voice is
cracked hopelessly, and who, after this
once VIII never again staud before the
sea of upturned faces disputing the
fresher voices and fairer forms-the
clergyman who has preacied his last
sermon-those all1know I he hidden
bitterness OF '1never again."
How they come TO us on birthdays
as we grow older! Never again young
always nearer and nearer the very
last--the end which is universal, the
last thing which shall follow all the
other lastithings and turn then, let Us
hope, from pains to Joys.
We pat away our boyish toys with
an old heart-ache. We were too old
TO walk sny longer on our stits-too
tall to play marbles on the pavement.
Yet there was pang when we thought
We had played with our merry mates
for thezlsst time, and life's; serious,
grownup work wss waiting for us.
Now we do not want the lost toys
back. Life has other and larger play
for US. May it not be that these, too,
shall seem in the light of some far-off
day as the boyish days seem to our
manhood, and we shall learn that
death is but the opening of gate into
the new landof promise?

Big Iniun" Music.

The other day a lot OF Sioux Indians
robbed stuge coach on the Plains,
and found a clothes wringer amongst
the articles of freight.
One of the chiefs had been in the
western cities, and had seen certain
beings grinding terrific music out of
a machine With lie same kind ofa
crank as that upon the wringer.
So he was convinced that the clothes
iwringer was a hand organs
He had the wringer carefully carried
TO the camp, and made up his mind
that from that day forward the silence
of that solitary wilderness was going
to be broken by ceaselcss round of
tunes.
lie even cherished the fond hope
that in days TO come his tribe would
hold a jubilee, and even Boston would
be thrown in the shade.
He gazed upon his wIiDger as a
Bostonian looks upon the great organ
and looked about him for singers, iii
order TO organize the Red Mans Han
del and the Hayden Society, Professor
Fly-in-the-Milk Conductor.
The chief grasped the crank of the
wringer, and began to turn it i'll order
! TO show his braves how it was done.
He reyolved it for sixteen hours, but
no music came.
Then the other Indians took hand
one after another, for a week.
Then the squaws were turned on,
| but with no better effect.
Chen the chief went ont and stole a
mule and thresbing machine, and
rugged up lot of blocks and pulleys,
and ran a belt over the crank he then
| exploded powder under the hind legs
of the male, so that he kept charging
up the inclined plain at that lhreshing
machine, and the wringer made sixty
revolutions minute.
| But it wouldn't work
So the chief came to the conclusion
! that the machine was under some kind
of a curse, and he called out his med
| icines man, and had war dance, and
drove yellow pine stakes through u
cOuptc- f " hite-eesetipes and jumped
around and howled, while the medi-
cine-man played some mysterious mu-
sic on a drum.
Then the medicine-man hitched up
the mule again, AMI after starting the
machine, he leaned mp against it, while
ne uttered an. .exorcisIn.
IN couple of minutes the rubber
rollers ciinciicd his breech clout, and
began to haul him in with his knees
doubled up against his face.
w hen he got half way through he
stuck, and the machine stopped.
lie could not move, and the chief
was afraid to touch the wringer; so
the braves fell on nihe' doctor and jab-
bed him with a knife, and scalped him
and then hurled him and the machine
as they were
This was the last attempt of The
Sioux TO cultivate the fine arts.

His course during the past two years; the misfortune that has befallen him the knowledge he possesses concerning the wants of the Territory, and the proper way to go about supplying said wants. will cause men of all parties here to forget the past. and, for once, send MT.
