PROF. WISE is again proposing to
cross the Atlantic in balloon, and
promises to start from Boston Common
on the 4th of July, if the authorities Of
that city will aid him in his preparations
to the amount of $1,000. An order to
that effect has been passed by one branch
of the city government, and there is a
possibility that the long-entertained
theory of sronauts of constant air-cur-
rents from west to east, will soon be put
to the test of practical experiment.
Prof. Wise is willing to risk his life in
support of his theory, and is confident
of his ability to cross the ocean in sixty
hours, and he is not alone in his opin-
ion, as many scientists consider the en-
terprise perfectly feasible. He pro-
poses to accomplish the passage in two
DAYS and half. He is to carry a stove,
cooking materials, life-boat, sails,
oars, and all the conveniences for short
trip. The three balloons which he pro-
poses to construct will hold 325, 900 feet
of gas, and will have lifting capacity
of II, 900 pounds.

A Doc STORY OF THE OLD-FASH-
IONED KIND

A few days since Mrs. Joshua Hewitt,
living near Pennsgrove, N. j., left her
little boy, about ten years old, in the
yard, where he was amusing himself
with dog. Some time after she heard
the dog creating great disturbance be-
low, barking and scratching at the door
leading to the stairway, and making
other demonstrations of distress. Ap-
pretending that something was wrong,
she ran down stairs and opened the
the door. With almost human sagacity
the dog gave bark Of delight,
and ran to an open well in the yard.
The frightened mother ran to the well,
which was fortunately nearly filed to the
top with water, and discovered her child
in time to snatch him from the waters
just as he was sinking beneath the sur
face. When rescued the child was in.
sensible, but, restoratives being applied,
consciousness returned. Thedog mean.
while manifested its Joy by caperine
about the room, jumping upon the
couch where the infant was lying, and
licking the face and form of the uncon.
scious little one which its sagocity had

COMPOUNDLNG FELONY.

The Directors of the Waterford Bank,
in New York State, have given another
illustration of the pernicious custom Of
compounding felony to recover stolen
property custom which has become
30 rooted in this country that Gen. Ere
mont actually proposed recently to have
the sentence of imprisonment passed
upon him by the French courts annulled
upon his reimbursing the swindled
French subscribers to the Mexico and
Ell Paso railroad. The Waterford Bank
was robbed last year Of $4,000 by
burglars who forced the Cashier to leave
his bed and open the safe for them.
After many months of detective work
and pursuit, the affair has been settled
on business basis. The robbers return
the money, keeping 35 per cent. for their
trouble, and receive the promise of alb
solute immunity. The proceeding puts
burglary in the category of q commits
sion business, and is in striking contrast
to the way the Bank Of England has
brought the scDonnel- -Bidwell forgera
to grief.

THE CARLISTS IN SPAIN.

Gen. Edward Kirkpatrick, "the mill
tary representative of Don Carlos in
London" has lately furnished to the
public an official statement of the pres
ent organization, strength and situation
of the Carlist troops in Spain, which is
of special interest at this time, when
the reports in regard to the military
operations in that distracted country are
of such conflicting and unreliable ma
ture. According to Gen. kirkpatrick,
the entire Carlist force in all Spain
under arms is 1890 men. In the de-
partment of Prince Alfonso there are
q, 800. OF these about 10, 900 are armed
with Remington rifles and 10000 with
breech-loaders of other systems. The
Carlists in Catalonia are in good state
of discipline. The edict of the Repub-
lican Captain General, ordering the
country proprietors to quit their homes
and go with their property into the fortl-
fed cities in the hands of the Republi'
cans, has been considered as most
brutal order, and has caused nearly
10, 600 men, hitherto neutral, to offer
their services to the Carlists. Many old
men, women and children have taken
refuge in France, but those capable Of
bearing arms are, as rule, joining the
Carlists. In the department of the
Navarro and the Bosque provinces,
under command of Gen. DOrregaray,
the force is put down at 1900, all
armed with the best breech-loadine
rifles, and well disciplined and equipped.
Gen. Kirkpatrick says that "money is
all that is necessary to place Don Carlos
on the Spanish throne;" that the Re,
publican army is without discipline and
without pay; that it has no heart in the
Republican cause; that the regular
army but little exceeds that of the
Carlists and that the Republican officers
fight only for personal emolument and
rank.

MANSFIELD TRACY WALwoRTH, who
was murdered by his son in New York
hotel, the other day, was the son of the
late Chancellor Walworth, one of the
most distinguished citizens of that State,
and man identified with the great tenn
perance, tract and bible societies. The
Chancellor died in 1867, aged 80 years.
A brother of the deceased is popular
and eloquent mission preacher of the
Paulists. Mr.. Walworth was born in
Albany, in 1880. He was educated for
the legal profession, and, after being
admitted to the bar, assisted his father
for short time in his Office at Albany,
but, his profession becoming distateful,
he turned his attention to literature.
He was married some years ago to Miss
Nellie Hardin, daughter of the famous
Col. John Hardin, of Illinois. Col.
Hardin was one of the most distinguished
lawyers in Illinois, and formidable
rival of Stephen A. Douglas, SO much 80
that Douglas, on one occasion, declared
Hardin to be the only man in the State
whom he feared to meet in debate.
Walworth has been separated from his
wife for some years, and that lady is now
keeping a seminary for young ladies on
the estate of the late Chancellor Wal
worth, at Saratoga Springs, where she is
living in elegant style. He has lived
what was generally described as fast
life, was fond of loud dress, good sup
pers, and was addicted to unreasonable
extravaganza. Mr.. Walworth's con-
tributions to the literature Of the day
are embodied in five novels: Hot
spur," "Lulu," Warwick" ''Dels-
plaine" and Beverly" At the time Of
his death Walworth was publishing a
serial story in the New York Weekly,
and had another novel in press.
