Fall From a Turning Balloon.

An extra of the DeKalb Q1l) Netos
gives the following account of the death
of a man by falling from a balloon,
| brief mention of which was made in our
kilograms: ~
"Mr. Denniston, the aeronaut, who
advertised that Mr.. l.. Durham would
make an ascension at this place, was in
hatiug his monster balloon, City of New
York, and had nearly completed the in
fiating process, when people on the north
part of the grounds discovered smoke
escaping from the top of the balloon.
1t was scarcely visible at FIRST, but faster
and faster emitted the smoke, and the
alarm was given, but hardly had the de-
fection in the air-ship become apparent,
before flames were issuing from the very
top of the balloon. Quickly the shout
went up, The balloon is on fire 7 and as
those near by began to retreat, the hors-
es were also driven here and there to es-
cape all danger. The dry cambria and
its covering began burning, first slowly,
then the flames spread, and upward and
onward went the fire, premonition by
this time overtalting the spectators-eve-
cry one present feeling that some fearful
if not fatal calamity would result
Scarcely had the flames burst out, how
ever, before an aperture of two or three
feet was mads-where the guy-rope
holding the unwieldy thing crossed it
and the rope burned off and away to the
southwark shot the balloon, carrying
with it in its course Mr.. Michael Nc
Mann, a laborer assistant in the initiation.
Being near the basket as it started off
he became entangled, and hanging with
one foot inside the basket--his hands
holding to the ropes--he thus assembled
for perhaps 100 feet and regained po-
sition in the basket, which again hung
sideways, and in another minute he was
hanging te the ropes alone at height
of probably not less than 300feet. Now
his strength'gave way, his presence of
mind deserted him, and in another mo-
ment the poor man is seen falling to the
earth, filling with horror and consterna-
ton the 400 or 500 spectators on the
grounds. He descended to the earth
nearly in standing position from 800
feet in mid-air, until, when near terra
frma, he fell backward, striking the
ground with his back with such force as
to produce a conclusion heard some dis
tance away. He was utterly crushed,
the blood streaming from his mouth and
nostrils. McMann left wife and sever
al children, who depended on his labors
for support. The balloon alighted but
a few rods out of the fair grounds, and
was soon consumed.

Edited Two Papers, Both Daily.

An antiquated writer in the Memphis
Appeal has dug up out of his memory
the following rich story. The young
lawyer referred to is still hourishing in
Memphis
"There was never greater local excite
ment than that which grew out of this
internal navy yard business. Half the
people were in favor of accepting the
property, and half or more opposed to it,
the latter thinking that the Government
might be induced even yet to make lib
eral appropriations and perfect the navy
yard, and build ships and steamers here.
There were two newspapers published
here-one a morning publication, edited
by a gentleman of no ordinary ability
named Bankhead, who was tragically
and mysteriously assassinated some six
years ago. There was another, an after
noon paper, called the Neaos, Il believe
that was its name), edited by man
named Yancey. These editors opposed
one another on the navy-yard question
and their discussion had begotten good
deal of excitement, when both went away
for the summer, and each without the
others knowledge employed the same
man, this young lawyer, to conduct hit
paper in his absence. The young limt
of the law naturally enough took tc
both sides of the question. He made the
controversy between the two papers hot
ter and hotter on each successive day
Crowds gathered each afternoon about
the News Office, and somebody expected
that the two furious editors would sheC

was confidently anticipated, and the fe

Secret Marriages.

Every now and then the public is
startled by the exposure of some do
mestic or social villainy, based on secret
marriage. Some confding young lady
has been induced to marry her lover Sc
cretly, and to keep the marriage secret
for months, and perhaps for years. In a
recent case, marriage had been kept
secret for nearly seven years. Of course
a man who wishes to keep his marriage
secret is always actuated by selfish,
and usually base motives. He is acting
a part-playing game, and his con-
fiding wife is pretty sure, in the end, to
find herself a victim of his treachery
and baseness. A wom,ln should never
consent to be married secretly. Her
marriage should be solemnized in the
light Of publicity, an not in the shadow
of conceslment. She should distrust a
man who has any ,,eason for shrouding
in darkness the act 'vhich-in his estima-
ton, at least-shoT lid be the crowning
glory of his life. The man who always
has some plot on hand, who naturally
takes to tricks and concealment, and is
never ready to have his actions brought
into the clear lig ht of day, is apt to be
so constitutionally base that he seldom
even by accident, deviates into the path
of honor and vi rtue. No woman who
values her domc ,stic happiness should
ever listen to Il e suggestions of such g
man In favor of secret marriage.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, il a commenting on the case
of a man who, had been literally "wor-
ried to DEATH" in London, expresses the
belief that there is probably no place in
the world yehere downright brutality is
so unchecked. In some of the lawless
towns Of America, the Pail Mall Gazetts
says, the re may be more bloodshed, but
the lno wledge of the fact that a six
shooter or b. owie-knife is ready for pro-
duction at a moments notice, prevents
much of that. rufianism which disgraces
London, and which frequently causes far
more mis- cry and free fights than in the
drinking saloons of America. The case in
question was that of hawker OF cheap
goods, who hung himself in consequence
of beiI lg 80 tormented and made butt

THE PRovIDENTIAL BoAT.-The boat
which was saved from the i'll fated
steamer Missouri was one recently pur-
chased by the company, intended for use
on board the Moro Castle. When the
United States Inspector of Hulls inspect
ed the Missouri, he found five life boats
aboard, and took exception to these as
insufficient, refusing to pass the vessel
until another large boat should be pro
alluded to lay on the wharf, and wal
taken aboard the Missouri. She was moi
hung on davits, but was lashed TO the
deck by ropes, and thus, when the fire
broke out it was comparatively easy t.
launch her. 1t was this boat which
proved the salvation of the twelve human
beings. Had the vessel gone to sea a

Teddy went to his Office one morning,

London EUuipages:

Carriage horses in London are now al
most always "jobbed that is, hired
for the season, or sometimes for the year.
This applies to some of the finest pairs
in London, for whose hire large sum is
paid. The convenience of the plan is
that il saves trouble, and if horse falls
dead it can be instantly replaced with
out cost to the hirer. The carriage hor-
ses in London have shown decided inn
provement since the fall of the second
empire. Louis Napoleon's agents and
Partisan grandees were previously con-
tinually buying up the finest. Apair OF
fine coach horses cost from S 900 to $2,-
600. Those of the late Lord Foley, who
died two years ago, were long noted as
the finest in London. That nobleman
sold his ancestral estates for $4.500,00C
to the present Earl of Dudley, and, con-
centrating all his forces on his London
establishment, achieved the proud DIS
tinction of having the best dinners and
best appointed equipage and servants in
the town.
Oddly enough, as is the custom TO,
people who have grand equipages tc
make their bravest show at eight O'Clock
in the evening, when they go out to din
ner, and when there is no one in the
streets. The coachman and footman are
then in their finest liveries, the formel
sitting imbedded in his hammercloth OF
the box of the state coach. When my
lord and my lady arein, the two Jeamese
jump up on their perch behind, eacl
with long, gilt-mounted cane in hi
hand. When they have deposited theil
load they pull up the shutters of tn
carriage, and, mounting the box, one ol
each side of the coachman, thus return
at slow rate to the stables. This is
very old custom, which has been hande'
down by generations of Jeameses.
