Story of the Paris Siege Bal.
looms.

The London Echo summarizes an
interesting accent just published OF
the tloings of the Paris seige balloons,
which shows that balloning is by no
means so dangerous Il mode of trav-
cling as many would have us believe.
Out of sixty-four balloons which left
the French capital, only two came to
bad end, and, as these were lost at
sea in trying to escape the enemy, 1t
is but fair to suppose that they would
otherwise have descended safely.
Cmiously enough, a northerly wind,
which would obviously have been the
most favorable for driving the balloons
to the South of France, and therefore
out of reach of the enemy, seems rare
lv to have helped the besieged. This
fact alone added much to the difficult
ties to be encountered by the aerial
navigators in keeping out of harms
way, and really the only wonder is
that OF so many voyages being made
in a northeasterly direction there were
not more captures effected. Only
five balloons were actually taken by
the Germans, although, as may be
supposed, many had very narrow es-
capes, sixteen in all falling within the
enemy's lines. Two of these there
was no chance of saving, for they went
right over into hostile territory; ont
of these unfortunate conveyances de
scended into Prussia and the other IL
Bavaria. Several accidents happened
to the aeronauts in their descent, bu
if we except the two instances OF bal
looms going out to sea, only one o
these ended fatally. OF sixty-fou
balloons dispatched, tifty-seven reach

The Baltimore Acceptance.
[From the New Orleans Republican.


1t scarcely appears possible for a
genuine Liberal or II Democrat, who
has made up his mind to accept the
political situation, to find any fault
with Mr.. Greeley's letter accepting
the Baltimore nomination. 1t raises
no new issues, and deals plainly with
undisputed facts. 1t is true the let
ter may appear superfuous, since it
adheres pretty closely both to the
Cincinnati letter and the platform.
But as the original letter was made
part of the declaration of principles
which the convention at Baltimore
affirmed, it was not inappropriate, and
certainly not q subject meet for com
plaint that he should elaborate points
merely touched upon before.
The saying (very frequently re-
peated of late) that it is dangerous for
presidential candidates to write let
ters, has no little force in it, as a mat
ter of general application. 1t opens a
wide field for abstract issues, and the
charge that Mr.. Clay killed his chances
for election by tits indisputable. We
have no need of other issues. Those
so admirably set forth at Baltimore
and Cincinnati touch and will quicken
the long dormant but responsive sen
timents of the country. The condi-
ton which North Carolina now finds
herself in may, with no great stretch
of the imagination, find parallel in
other Southern States, and in mutual
hostility to this condition of things
both Liberals and Democrats find
ready concurrence. Nor do we re-
gard the allusi0n to general amnesty
as misbefitting the occasion, or an un-
deserved thrust at the partisan hos
tility the principle meets with in some
of the Radical journals. 1t is not a
bid for the Southern vote. Long be-
fore the letter was written it was con-
sidered one, if not the chief, issue OF
the canvass.
The South wants no more prOscrip-
tions; and we believe that the right
thinking and candid men of the North
are tired of seeing it applied as well.
The manly avowal of this sentiment
can do Mr., Greeley no harm, especial
" in the South. 1t would have been
foolish in him to evade it, and might
well have awakened the distrust the
Radical journals are not indisposed to
deprecate. Indeed some of these pa
pers appear Gas tenacious of our hon
or as if it were their own" We can
readily understand why many points
in Mr.. Greeley's letter are objection
able to them. Under the rule of the
present dynasty the awakening of lib
eral opinion and the inauguration OF
free government in the South would
be long put off indeed. But the peo-
pie of this country, with Mr.. Greeley
think it is time to bring it about, and
prepare to exult again, under the ad
ministration of Mr.. Greeley, in the
doctrines of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.

navigatOrs and passengers. The du-
ration of the voyage was on an aver
age, but three hours at the commence
ment Ofthe service in September, 1870
but as the German troops approached
nearer and surrounded the capital
more effectually, it was deemed de-
sirable to make a longer journey, and
in January the average voyage was
between six and seven hours. AT
this period, too, it was found necessa-
ry to dispatch the balloons during the
night, so that they might get a fail
start and be well out of rifle shot when
passing over Versailles and the out
posts of the German army. The most
memorable voyage was that made on
the 2lst of November, when the North
Sea was traversed by balloon, which
reached Christiania after q voyage OF
some fourteen hours. The distance
travelled was certainly not less than
1000 miles, and at the rate of seventy
miles an hour-beyond II doubt the
fastest of locomotion on record. The
balloons themselvs were constructed
of oiled silk and mostly contained
some 1000 cubic meters of gas.
They were designed and manufac-
tured under the superintendent OF
NJ. GODDARD, whose fame as an aero
haunt was well established before the
seige. A number of volunteers from
the French navy, chosen for their pc
culiar fitness for the service, were
trained to navigate the balloons.
Most of the balloons carried passen-
gers, and generally several hundred
weight of dispatches, together with
a basket of pigeons, to be employ ed
as return messengers. In some in
stances, too, dogs were carried out,
in the hope that these would find their
way back into Paris, laden with let
ters for the beseiged but there was
no instance, we believe, of these ami
mails fulfilling the hopes of their san
guine owners.
The manner in.which the news was
conveyed by aid of these balloons at
very regular intervals from the 23rd
September, 1870, until january 25th,
1871, will be long remembered. The
$4,000 messages which were actually
sent into the beleaguered city, within
the same time, by means of pigeons
brought out by the aeronauts, must
all be put down to the credit of the
balloon service, SO wonderfully or
ganized and effectively carried out.

MADE HIM PAY.-When General
Jackson was President, heartless
clerk in the Treasury Department ran
up an Indebtedness with a poor land
lady to $50, and then turned her off
as he did other creditors. She finally
went to the President with her COM
plant, and asked him if he could not
compel the clerk to pay the bill.
He offers his note, she said, "but
his note is good for nothing"
Said the President, SECT his note
aud bring it to me-"
The clerk gave her the note, with
the jeering request that, :" she would
let him know when she got the mon
ey on it."
Taking it to the President, he wrote
"Andrew jackson" on the hack of ity
and told her she would get the money
at the bank.
When it became due the clerk re-
fused to pay the note, but when he
learned who was the endorser, he
made haste to "T,ise the wind.o The
next morning he found a note on his
desk saying that his services were no
longer required by the government
and it served him right.

Grants Attempt to Bribe Schurz

A Tribune reporter called upon Gen.
Alfred Pleasonton and obtained the
following statement: About two weeks
after entering upon the duties of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue at
Washington, in January, 1871. Gen.
PleasantOn had an interview with
President Grant. In the course of the
conversation the President introduced
the San Domingo question, and re-
marking that he understood that SEN
ator Schurz was opposed to the treaty,
asked Gen. PieasontOn to see Senator
Schurz and tell him that if he would
call at the White House the President
would be able to place the San Do
mingo matter in Il satisfactory light,
and could remove his objections to
the scheme. In further conversation
with the President, Gen. Pleasonton
was led to understand the President
would, in exchange for Senator
Schurz's support of the San Domingo
treaty, accord him q share of public
patronage. Gen. 2. says his impress
siOns on this point are very distinct
and unmistakable. Thus authorized,
Gen. Pleasanton saw Senator Schurz
and informed him of the Presidents
wish to see him. Senator Schurz said
he would call at any time he might
designate for an interview. Pleason-
ton saw the President the next day,
and informed him of the Senator's re-
ply, at which he expressed his gratifi-
cation, and said that he would send
for Senator Schurz in few days.
The interview was not had. Some
weeks later, when it seemed to be as
sured that Senator Schurz opposed
the treaty, Gen. Pleasanton received
memorandum slip from the Presi-
dent directing the removal of Senator
schurz's brother-in-law, Jussen, from
the Office of Collector of Internal Rev
enue at Chicago at once. The unusual
nature of this imperative removal at
tracted Gen. Pleasanton's attention,
and he asked the President to sus-
pend action for some weeks, but the
President said that he regretted that
he could not do so, as he had prom
lsed to remove the man ut once. A
new appointment was made upon tho
recommendation of Senator Logan and
Congressman Farwell. This action
impressed Gen. Pleasonton with. the
belief that political patronage was
considered of more importance at that
time than the immediate necessities
of the public service.
Subsequently, and shortly before
Gen. Pleasonton's departure for Eu-
rope, Senator Schurz addressed him a
letter asking for his recollection and
impressions of the conversation in
which the President desired him to
call upon the Senator and open nego-
tiations as mentioned. Gen Pleason-
ton responded in IL letter which Sena-
tor Schurz has made public.

AFTER DINNER NAPs.-Many per-
sons, particularly the middle-aged
and elderly, allow themselves this
real indulgence; and the custom, if
not carried to excess, is by many medi-
cal men considered beneficial rather
than otherwise, as in keeping the
body in a state of quietude, digestion
is promoted and assisted. In Southern
countries the midday sleep, termed
the siesta, is almost universally taken,
and wonderfully refreshes the frame,
enervated and weakened by the in
tense heat. 1t is, however, recon-
mended that sleep be not indulged to
too great II length, as persons invari-
ably find such prolonged slumber II
