The Possibility OF Retaining Re-
turned Back Pay.
WAsnrNoroN, Tuesday Aug. 20

despatch 10 tho TTibuno0
WASHINGTON, Tuesday Aug. 20
Another question has been raised con-
corning back pay. Treasurer Spinner
holds that Senators and Representatives
sending their checks TO him for the,
amount due them under the increase Of
salaries act, donot thereby part with their
legal title 10 the money, and that If they
should demand the return Of the sum al
any time, or institute proceedings for It's
return, they would be very likely TO sue
coed. The Treasurer has never been le-
gally authorized TO receive the money OF
Senators or Representatives and beside
they part with it for no consideration,
either expressed or understood. IIowev.
er, Gen. Spinner says that the question
belongs to the lawyers, OF whom he is not
one. On the other hand, the accounting
officers OF the Department saythat money
once covered into the Treasury cannot be
withdrawn, except by express act OF Con.
gress, and that II any OF the gentlemen
who have deposited their drafts with
Treasurer Spinner expect to recover mon
ey on them in the future, they will be dis
appointed.

BALLooNING.-One of the smallest.
and in some respects most curious of
the many societies in London, is the
Aeronautical Society, presided over by
Mr.. James Glaisher, F. r. S. At the
meeting of this Society two rather i'm
portant steps of progress were reported.
One is that by NJ. Dupuy de LONE, who
sends information that, by means of a
screw worked by eight men, in bal
loon weighing altogether four tons, he
has been able to cause the balloon to
deviate twelve degrees either way from
the direction in which the wind was
blowing. Ehis, as the chairman re-
marked, would enable one to send bal
looms into Paris, as well as to get them
out. A step in the direction of motive
power, combining strength and light
ness, was exhibited in a small machine,
occupying less than square yard, in
which steam was got up by the use of
gas, in less than two minutes, to
pressure of 100 pounds on the square
inch. The machine weighs only forty
pounds, and is of four horse power. On
the same principle it was averred that
another engine could be made of 100
horse power that will weigh 700 pounds.
One is ordered for balloon that has
been constructed for the Aeronautical
Society of Vienna, at a cost of 5000.

Weddings in Tangier are very fire.
quent, and make night hideous with
their noise. All except the very poor
est are accompanied with gun-fring
and music. When these luxuries are
beyond the means of the families, the
women shrek ten times more to make
up for the deficiency. This is a cheap
noise, and noise seems to be the great
desideratum at these celebrations. No
religious ceremony takes place, as far
as | could ascertain, in connection with
marriages in Morocco, beyond the
bridegroom saying a certain number of
prayers, in one of the mosques, previ-
ously. The fattening of the bride is
the only preparation on her part for en-
trance into the ''holy state" For this
purpose, from the time of her betrothal,
she is confined to one room, not per-
mitted to take any exercise, and COM
PEELED to swallow large quantities of
kesksoo every day. This system, pur-
sued steadfastly for few weeks, brings
her into a condition of what is consid-
cred in Morocco becoming obesity. l
