The Balloon Voyage.

Prof Wise is completing his arrange
ments for HE balloon voyage across the
ocean. This as our readers are aware,
is an enterprise by the New York
Graphic newspaper. The start will be
made sometime between the first and
tenth of September-no in August, as
heretofore published. The hour of de-
parture will probably be sunset, and
previous to the initiating of the balloon,
favorable representations must be re-
ceived from the signal service at Wash
ington. Prof. Wise and Prof. Donald
son are the only'two who are known to
be engaged for this excursion, although
it is expected that several others will &C
company them. A large boat will be
suspended beneath tho car, to be used in
case the balloon will not float, from leak
age of gas or any other cause. Besides
this, paper life-boat will be taken, SO
constructed that it cannot sink, and al
most indestructible. This paper boat is
said to be superior to the little boat
Rob Roy" which successfully crossed
the ocean few years ago. The carrier
pigeons which are to be taken along, are
already in training. and they are expect
ed to HE them to the Graphic office with
all haste as soon as let out from the bal
loon. 1t looks now as though the next
three weeks would demonstrate the abil.
ity of man to cross the ocean in bal.

The Vienna Exposition.

Americans appear TO have received
their share of rewards at the World S
Exposition, at Vienna notwithstanding
the seandalous management of the Amer
lean commission at the outset. Nine
grand diplomas of honor have been
awarded to Americans, namely: One, to
the United States Government for the
display of cotton and products. Two, to
the National Bureau of Education.
Three, to the State of Massachusetts,.
Four, to the city of Boston. Five to
the Smithsonian Institutute, Washington
these were for excellence in methods
and progress of Education and Schools
Sixth, to Walter Abbott Woods, Of
Hoosic Falls, N. Y, for agricultural ma
chinery. Seventh, to VIM. Sellers Dc Co.,
Philadelphia, for process in iron man
ufactures. Eighth, to Samuel S. White
for dentistry. Ninth, George III. Cor
Iiss of New York, for machinery. In
sewing machines the Weed of Hartford
takes the grand prize, and on firearms
the Sharp stands first. Medals will be
given to some fifty exhibitors of ma
cbinery, averaging one in about three.

The Weep PRESIDENT. The friends of
president Wilson, and they are
found in all political parties, will learn
with great satisfaction that his continued
convalescence entities him to hope for a
complete restoration to health. His at
tack was both sharp and severe, and to
one of his mental and physical activity
was inexpressibly painful. BY immedi-
ate medical care, however, and with the
basis of fine constitutional vigor to en-
able him to resist the approaches of dis
ease, he soon began to recover, and now
presents every promise of not only a
long continued life, but one capable of
serving the purposes which before his ILL.,
ness ne had contemplated. Whatever
political prejudices and aninosities may
have been excited by recent events, and
however strictly he may have represent
ed the party whose indefatigable expon-
ent he has been, there is not in public
life an individual toward whom kindlier
feelings are entertained, or in whose be-
half a more general and cordial sympa-
thy has been manifested during his attic
ton than our Vice. President. In his
public career there has been nothing Of
vindictive character toward opponents
and no harsh animadversion upon the
conduct of such as have differed from
him widely but honerably and the re-
suit is shown in the letters of coincidence
addressed to him from every section of
the Union when first stricken, and sub
sequently of pleasure at the news of his
improvement. BY unremitting care
General Wilson expresses a confidence in
his ability to fulfill the duties of the of
fee to which be has been chosen, and,
after some additional respite, to complete
the history upon which he had bestowed
so much intellectual effort. In the sim
cere wish that his liyeliest anticipations
regarding himself may be fully realized,
and that his life may be prolonged even
beyond the allotted term of years, the
whole public will heartily join.-BostOn
Post.

1t appears that Anna Dickinson has
no thought of going upon the stage as
an actress, as has been announced, but
already has over one hundred engage
ments to lecture the coming season. 1t
strikes us that it was anything but cred
liable TO the lyceum bureau to have
made such an announcement 1t GER
tainly will not injure her, and if it is a
specimen of the reliability of the " Blu
reau announcements it won't be likely
to even iDjure them hereafter.

The political elements of Massachu-
sets are beginning to be stirred. The
republican state convention is to be
held at Worcester Sept. 10. The con-
test for governor is apparently between
Butler and the reelection of Washburn,
or more properly Butler and anti-Butler,
and as it is an off year some boiling
may be expected, especially if Butler is
nominated. We hear that Butler is
likely to carry every ward in Boston,
but representations outside are that he
is losing ground in the state. He has
made the sharpest defence of the "sal-
airy grab" as might be expected of him,
yet put forth, but it is not likely to help
him much.

THE POSTAL CARD DEoIsIoN.-The
Rutland Globe 10 speaking of late pos
tai card decision says: The department
informs the public that postal cards can
not be sent at the ordinary rate when
written over the side intended for the
address. A person may compress Web
ster's unabridged on the other side, if ii
lies within his power to do so, and ii
goes for cent; but single word on
the address side subjects the card to
three cent postage. The department is
great on special "pints of the law" and
hereafter the public may wonder at moth
ing which emenates from it.

Methodist Canp-NTeeting at Clare
mont Junction.

A camp-meeting will be held at Clare
mont Junction, commencing September
LIST, and continuing through the week
until Saturday. A beautiful grove for
this purpose, near the depot, was Pur-
chased a few months since by the Joint
action of the Methodists belonging to
the CIaremont District, N. II. Confer
ence, and the Springfield District, Yer
mont Conference. Workmen have been
engaged for sometime clearing off all
superAuous shrubbery and timber, lay
ing out the encampment, seating the
audience ground, building the preachers
stand, and other preparatory work.
In some respects the ground this year
will present crude appearance, because
the entire enterprise is new, and sufficient
time has not been had toperfect arrange
ments. But it is intended to make this
grove as attractive and convenient for
an annual camp-meeting as the older
and better known grounds in other To-
calities.
BY previous negotiation with the rail-
road companies all passengers to the
meeting will be carried for fare one way.
In addition to the strictly religious
purposes for which this grove will be
used, it is also designed to make it a
place of summer resort. Lots for sum
mer cottages are laid out and for sale.
Lying as the ground does, near the de-
pot, and also the Connecticut river, it
will furnish a first class camping place
for those who wish to escape the heat of
summer, the dust Of cities, and the cares
of an overburdened life, in order to seek
recreation, wholesome pleasure, and
health. Boating and fishing to the full
capacity of the river and fishermen, will
afford pleasurable exercise and amuse-
ment, while o home in the forest will
furnish cool and grateful retreat for
the worn invalid.
The projectors Of this enterprise hope
that persons of all shades of religious
opinion will find it religious aud phys
ical advantage to visit this place and
enjoy the good it is capable of affordiDg
| them.
Here will gather many hundreds, per.
haps thousands, annually, to enjoy the
great religious festival to which Metho-
dists are SO greatly attached and for
all time, evermore. this grove is to be a
fountain of religious life to the lost and
perishing, and of health to the weary.

Steamboat Disaster.

II PERSONS KILLED-15 WOUNDED.
The steamer George Wolfe, was blown
up on the Mississippi, on Friday after
noon of last week. It occurred at Fran
els Island. Twelve lives were lost and
fifteen persons injured. Some of the
bodies and fragments of timber were
blown over so feet into the air.
Miss Rebecca Cohn of Jefferson, Tex
as, who was accompanied by her cousin,
W. Solomonsby of Paris, Texas, states
she was on the forward guard Of the
boat, and, owing to the severity Of the
storm which was raging, remarked, "Let
US go into the cabin, and just as she
rose the explosion occurred, and she was
blown into the river, where, seeing man
nelr her she grasped him by the neck,
and he told her to catch his lett arm, or
she would drown both, which she did,
and soon after spar came floating by
which he seized, and they held to it, float
ing down the river tor long distance,
until the barber of the boat came to
their assistance with a pole, which her
preserver caught, and still holding on to
the spar, they we're safely landed ON the
shore. Miss Cohn was considerably
bruised. She could not learn the name
of the man who saved her.
