of this week, from an unsuccessful pur-
suit of the robber, Kopp. Philbrook
passed through Trinity Center Wednes-
day, and the same evening man an

came to Lew. Halls place, half mile or
more from town, and asked for something
to eat. 1t was given him when he left at

Mr.. Halls folks were not at the time

SUBMARINE BLASTING.

The Charleston Neys and Courier gives the
following description of the operations now in
progress in raising the wrecks in that harbor:
"The operations of Professor Mailletert in
Charleston harbor during the past two years
have been noticed from time to time, but COM
paratively few persons have any definite idea
of the process of raising the debris of the nine
wrecks from the bottom of the ocean. In
1871, the professor, who is one of the most
successful submarine divers of the day, came
to Charleston to fulfill contract with the gov
ernment for removing distractions in the har-
Dor. The work has gone on ever since, many
wrecks have been removed. In order to raise
wreck, great skill and labor are. required.
A steam flat is employed for the purpose, pro-
vided with strong shears, blocks, chains, ropes
and other paraphernalia, with competent
force of workmen. A superintendent fore
man, engineer, diver and half dozen labor
ers make up the crew. When the fiat is
properly placed near the wreck to be removed,
the diver gets into his armor, the helmet is
put over his head, with a long rubber pipe ex-
tending to the air pump, and when this is all
secured two men commence forcing air through
the rubber pipe into the head-pipe, for the d.
ver's consumption. Then a signal line is
placed in his hand, and he descends into the
water. Having reached the bottom, he ex-
amines the wreck, and in short time selects
the best position for blasting A signal given
to the men on the flat brings him to the sur
face, and he forthwith begins the preparations
for another descent. This time the diver pro-
vides himself with can Theoretically sealed,
and containing about seventy orr eighty pounds
of gunpowder, which has already been ar
ranged for ready use, and from which extends
a galvanic wire, covered with gutta percha,
and running into the nozzle of the can. This
powder the diver carries down with him and
places in some convenient place in the sub
merged wreck. He then ascends, and the
wire leading to the can is connected with a
galvanic battery, by means of which the pow
der is exploded, and large masses Of the wreck
are blown off. The diver again descends to
the bottom, and this time takes with him the
grapnels, which he attaches to the fragments
that have just been blown off, and which are
now hoisted on deck by the machinery. Pro-
fessor Maillefert's theory of blasting is the re-
suit of his own experience The'process has
been patented by him, and used with great
success in the James river, Virginia, and in
Charleston harbor."

PERILS OF BALLOONING.

Mr.. La Mountains terrible death by fall
from his balloon, on the 4th Of July, near
Ionia, MICHIGAN, recalls to mind some of the
fatalities which have heretofore happened to
balloonists in their perilous undertaking.
What caused La Mountains calamity was
simply the result of utter carelessness in secur-
ing the rope gearing Of the. machine This
was so loose and unstayed that the gas envel-
ope or globe was left free to turn upside down,
and it did it with the most lamentably fatal
consequences to the unfortunate balloonist
himself Since 1884 about twenty-five lives
have been lost. Of the most prominent accl-
dents, the frst occurred in 1885, when De-
Rozier and Roumaine Laine attempted to
cross from France to England in hydrogen
balloon, to which a small "mongolGere" Cor
hot air. balloon was attached. After reach
ing height of 5000 feet the balloons took
fire, were quickly burned up, and the voyagers
were precipitated upon the rocks of the French
coast and crushed to jelly. Nine Blanchard,
wife of the celebrated balloonist Of that name,
assumed his profession, and in 1879, while
making an ascent from the Tivoli Garden, in
Paris, was dashed to pieces in consequence OF
her balloon taking fire from the fireworks dis
charged in mountebank style on the occasion
In Italy, several years later, Venetian no.
bleman and his wife, having made many sue
cessful ascents, finally fell from a great height
and perished on the spot. In the year 1924
Lieut.. Harris, of the British navy, was killed
by the too rapid descent Of balloon neal
London, and in the same year Windham Sad
ler, skillful balloonist, who had successfully
crossed the Irish channel, was thrown from his
balloon and killed by collision with tall
chimney in descent at Liverpool. In 1865
an amateur :eronaut Chambers was killed a
Basford Park, England, by the rapid descent

How SHE SAWS WooD.-Did you ever see
woman undertake to saw wood? 1t is al
ways little while before dinner, when the
pies won't bake, and the potatoes absolutely
refused to come to the boiling point, and the
only stick of wood is exactly three inches too
long. After vain attempts to prove the elas-
ITCHY of matter by putting two.foot-three.
inch stick into two-foot stove, she goes out
to the saw-horse, and puts her knee on the re-
fractory stick in the very way she has seen
some men do. But the edges of the wood are
sharp, and she takes it down again with an
ejaculation, and, with a growing disregard for
appearances, puts her foot on instead. Her
hair never fails to come down at this juncture.
and she has to stop and twist it into tight
knot before beginning to saw. Here the saw
commences frantic jumping and skipping on
its own account, and the feminine mind being
concentrated upon keeping up the foot that
is up, and down the foot that should be down,
until, in an unlucky moment the centre of
gravity is lost, the stick flies up and launches
blow at her nose just as somebody goes by.
She stops and pretends to be looking for some
thing, while dark thoughts of divorce and
separation flash through her mind, and she
avows in her innocent soul that she will never
attempt to saw wood again, if there never is
any dinner. But her pride and dinner are at
stake, and all her native obstinacy comes to
the surface; she will conquer that stick or
die. Fired by new fury, she succeeds in
saving two'thirds of the way through, and
breaking off the res. ofit-it is a rotten rail-
she goes into the house to find the potatoes
boiled dry, and the pie in a state of sadden
uncertainty. The children come home from
school, and the husband from his shop, and
find kind of hushed solemnity in the air and
no pie for dinner. The meridional meal is
eaten in silence and bitterness of heart, and
then the wife of his bosom inquiries if she is
expected to take care of the stable and feed
the pigs, as we'll as saw the wood. The man
says, "Hang it all, forgot" and the woman
drops her sarcasm and breaks down in the
declaration that she newer will do it
again, never; but she will she will do it
tomorrow, and the next day, and the day af.
ter; for one of the things that woman never
will learn is, that she cannot saw wood.-Dan-
bury Ne,rs.

HoUsEKEEpING.-I know young man,
a noble fellow, who carries on successful
manufacturing business. Although possessed
of an abundant competence, he devotes him.
self with untiring assiduity to the interest of
his factory ten hours every day. Half year
ago, he married beautiful, accomplished
girl, who is said to speak four of the continen-
tai languages with the fuency ofnatives, while
she touches the piano with infinite skill.
Four months ago they began housekeeping.
A week since they gave it up in utter disgust.
Three servants figured conspiciously in their
griefs. The coffee was execrable, the steak
abominable, the cruet stand was not to be
seen, and the whole home in confusion. The
husband bore it as long as pride and patience
could endure, and then sacrificing everything
at auction, returned to boarding, resolved
never to suffer the miseries Of housekeeping
again. I was never more indignant than
when I heard of it, If that beautiful bride
had learned one less language and devoted
the year to the mysteries of housekeeping she
mig ght have made my friends home para
disc. Suppose her husbands management
of his business had been like her management
of the house, what would become of them ?
don't think the match was a fair one. On
the one side it was cheat. A young lady of
the same ornamental class, in discussing the
case, exclaimed, "She did not agree in the
marriage contract to play the part of house
hold drudge! Did the husband agree to play
the part of the factory drudge?

THEORY OF TRUE GREATNESS
Burr was a keener thinker than was George
Washington. He was far more ingenious
man, a more active, and,. if he had been a
moral man and maintained normal relations
with himself, with his fellow men and and with
the laws of rectitude, he would have been
an abler man. Washington was a man OF
good sense, but he was not man OF genius
in any direction except that Of conscience.
He was man of singular equity, great disin-
terestedness, and of pure and upright intent.
Sagacious he was,by light which comes from
integrity. He endured, having faith to be-
leve that right in the end would prevail.
That which made Washington the great
hero of our revolutionary struggle was the
light of the moral element that was in him
not any intellectual genius which he possessed,
not any rare tact of administration, or any
remarkable executive power. And if you
look back upon those names in our history
that have best stood the test, you will find
that they have been men who were faithful
in the CHEST moral element And as times
% on, those men who lack these elements
sink lower and lower till they sit below the
horizon; and those who possess them rise
higher till they reach the meridian, with un'
dying splendor, to shine upon history and the
world.

EVERYDAY REL1GIoS.-Let US come back
to our point, which is, not to urge you all to
give yourselves up to mission work, but to
serve God more in connection with your daily
calling have heard that woman who has
a mission makes poor wife or a bad mother;
this is very possible, and at the same time
very lamentable; but the mission | urge is
not all of this sort. Dirty rooms, satternly
gowns, and children with unwashed faces, are
swift witnesses against the sincerity of those
who keep others vineyards and neglect their
own. | have no faith in that woman who
talks of grace and glory abroad, and uses no
soap and water at home. Let the buttons be
on the shirts, let the socks be mended, let the
roast mutton be done to turn, let the house
be as neat as a pin, and the home be as happy
as home can be. Serve God by doing common
actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your
daily calling only leaves you cracks and crew
ices of time, fill them up with holy service

s~ Prayer, and the Word, and godly con-
versation, should be in the foremost place.
For too often there is so much coldness, and
restraint, and reserve, and backwardness, that
a man might fancy we we're ashamed of Je:
sus, and that we thought it proper to hold
our tongue, and not make mention of the
name of the Lord.
