BallOOning a Cure for Influenza.

An aeronaut thus describes the effect
of balloon voyage upon an influenza,
with which he was afflicted "The day
before / started on this aerial excursion.
/ was suffering from severe attack of
influenza, and had passed feverish
night without sleep. My friend tried
hard to prevent my departure, and 1
had no little difficulty in escaping.
But, it must be remarked, there are no
drafts in balloon. In the air itself,
you are beyond the influence of the air :;
and when you rise only to a moderate
height, you find yourself in an exceed
ingly mild climate, where you are not
troubled with the slightest breath of
air. The fact is, that my influenza
passed away while L was in the balloon;
and / recommend this observation to
the faculty, for the day perhaps may
come when they will send their pa
tients up to take air-baths instead of
prescribing other modes of treatment. ,"

OUR farmers in the West were saviors

OUR farmers in the West were saviors
of the land more than any other class
in the late war. If they can be thor
oughly C hristianized with their courage,
manliness, and honesty, they may act
an equally important part in purifying
politics and social life, and then iii free
ing the religious character of the land
from contamination. 1 hope to hear
loud voices from them, which will make
men of evil, East and West, quail: "We
abhor you, We political corruptionists,
We men of brides, We managers of par
ties, who want to see knavery in high
places of trust, that you may be re-
spectacle. We can stand changes of
party, but we cannot stand falsehood
and want of principle. We must have
good men for our leaders, or we will
overturn all existing parties, and con-
sign you to your appropriate disgrace. "

THE PRINTERS DEvIL.-A merchants
clerk went into printing Office a short
time since, and seeing pile of papers
lying on the table Git being the day of
publication unceremoniously helped
himself to copy, and uttered the fol-
lowing to the printers devil: 81 suppose
you do not take any pay for just one
paper?" "Not always" replied the devil.
Shortly afterward the devil entered the
store where the clerk belonged, and
called for a pound of raisins, which
was quickly weighed out to him by the
clerk. The devil took h.s raisins, say
ing, 81 suppose you do not charge any
thing when fellow don't take but a
pound?" "No," said the clerk, after
seeing the disadvantage under which
he was placed by his own stingy, I'M
pudent illiberality toward the Pennies
printers devil, and looking daggers at
the little imp, Indignantly cried /;
"When 1 get any more newspapers from
the printer I'll pay for them!'

THE latest thing in hotels is suggest

THE latest thing in hotels is suggest
ed by an ingenious correspondent of the
Galveston News. 1t is to be called the
Aerial Sanitarium. 1t is to be huge
balloon, secured by strong attachments
at a proper height. Galveston, he says,
is within one mile of the most delight
full climate in the world, and this climate
is directly overhead" To the enormous
balloon there is to be attached a frame
work of sufficiently strong wire, fitted
up to accommodate 100 guests, This
airy saloon will be reached by smaller
balloon, acting as an elevator. When
the barometer indicates disturbing
weather, the gas can be let off and the
whole establishment brought down to
solid earth.

A New REMEDY FOR CHOLERA Every

ANEW REMEDY FOR CHoLERA.-Every-
body in town knows old Sam Bradshaw,
colored. Well old Sam took the soap
suds diarrhea and cured himself. When
asked how he did it, he said "Bless
God, 1 wouldn't let him go through nae ;
l jest stand on my head and stop him"
And he did. Whenever he felt like his
bowels would move, he brought himself
to an anchor with his head on the floor
and his feet up his cabin wall, and re-
manned in that position till the DISPOSE
ton passed of. Sam was binding oats
the other day, and the hands who were
at work with him missing him, looked
back and saw him standing on his head
in the middle of the field, like great
forked stump. Franklin (hy.) Patriot.

Gov. Stafford, of Arizona, plainly de-
scribes the class of people that don't
get along in the West. He says that
'gentlemanly farmers, who commence
without means and have hired all their
work done, will undoubtedly be obliged
to quit the business and those who
have invested the largest portion of
their crops in poor whisky at twenty
five cents per glass will hardly be able
to meet their obligations and inspire
sufficient confidence to obtain credit
in the future. This style of doing
business is equally unsuccessful in
the East.

A YOUTH of ten years, residing in
Binehamton, played so long on a recent
afternoon that he did not get home
until supper was over, and consequently
was told that he could have nothing to
eat. Casting one look behind HIM he
started for the door, at the same time
remarking: Mother, I'm going to die,
and when I'm dead want the doctor to
cut me open and look at my stomach. y
The mother, greatly alarmed, inquired

ordered, and the boy turned from his
evil intentions to the supper-table.

DIVIDE EFT INIPERA!
How Does n Light Engine Draw n
 Heavy Tr0in2
BY PROF. J. D. BUTLER.

The first locomotive was patented twenty years ago. Driving only one car, if Highly loaded it did very we'll but when the load it drew was heavier than its own weight. its wheels would not bite-that is, they would not turn round and round without advancing. Hence cOw-catcher was needed behind to guard against cattle run niug into it ill the rear. It seemed at first impossible to make less weight move a greater on an up grade and, for P years afterward, no one invented an engine able to draw three times its own weight. At the present day, however, locomotives sweep along with trains more ponderous by l5 or 20 times than they are themselves. One means of gaming this vast increase of power for the locomotive, was by dividing the load. It was found, that an engine powerless to stir five times it's weight of freight when concentrated in one car, could readily draw it when distributed in dozen cars loosely shackled together. It was heavier than each single car; and it had overcome the inertia of each one. a mo- ment before it encountered the inertia of another. It was thus more tt an match for each Car taken singly; and, pulling them successively, it drew after 1t a train as long as comet, and the farther 1t ran the more strength it had to run farther. Here was the story of little David over again. Ordinarily the stripling's weight, as he told Goliath, was one hundred and twenty, but whenever he got mad he weighed ton. Moreover, the engine forced the momen tum acquired by every car it had started, tC swell it's own potency in overcoming tht l resistance of all that remained still mo I tionless.
 This railroad (maklng ligh engine draw heavy train), if not SO com mon would seem miraculous and it i. analogous to an expedient for securing farm which is equally simple and equally eff1cacious. It is this: Divide your pay bought of the Burlington & Missouri Rive three years, on ten years credit, and siy per cent. interest, you pay in eleven in stallments spread over half life time-th, first not due till the beginning of the thirt year. Besides every acre you improve add to your paying power, as the headway o every moving car reinforces the tractile en ergy of the locomotive"
 In purchases made since 1872 nothing i due on the principal until the beginning o the fifth year, and then only one-seventl annually.
 Divide and conquer" is the maxim o Satan when he sows discord among bretl ren. Use it for your good as Satan wi for your harm, and as Stephenson did t multiply the magical forces of hls immol tai and world-moving locomotive. "Ge mad and weigh tou." own land and nc body shall ever own you. Be your ow man!

ISAAC o. BARNES ON HoRsRBACK.-The stories of the wit of the late Col. Isaac o. Barnes are numerous, but to be fully appre- ciated needs the Coloners peculiar voice and dry manner, familiar to those who used to know him. The following anecdote we do not remember to have ever seen in print:
 The Colonel, it seems, had been recom- mended to take horseback exercise; for the benefit of his health, by his physician, and accordingly applied at well-known stable for the animal.
 " l want irregular trotting horse, to ride for my health this afternoon"
 "Certainly, Colonel" said the polite pro- prietor and, judging from the customers physique and "a horse to ride for health, " gave him one of the hardest trotting horses in the establishment, upon which Barnes mounted and bumped off towards the country.
 In about three hours he returned, coy cred with dust and precipitation. and, with the assistance of one of the hostlers, slow ly and painfully descended from his steed.
 Limping into the stable office, and hold. ing on the lower part of his back with one hand, he looked into the stable-keeper's inquiring face and ejaculated simply
 "How much"
 "Three dollars, Colonel" was the reply.
 He slowly drew his wallet and laid down the required sum.
 "Shall you want the horse again to- morrow, Colonel?"
 "No; shan't want him to morrow"
 Perhaps the day after tomorrow
 "No; I shan't want hlm any more at all."
 "1ndeed," said the stable-keeper, with a sly twinkle in his eye, as he noted Barnes holding on to his lacerated body. Per haps the horse don't suit you?"
 "Oh, yes." said Barnes, quickly, "there's nothing the matter with the horse; he's all right. It's the price I object to-"
 "Price!'' said the stable-keeper, "why ! only charged you three dollars. Colonel, and we consider it cheap for the horses service all the afternoon"
 We'll, don't," squealed Barnes, rub ping his aching body, for when want anything of this kind again, know an Irishman who will kick me behind all day for half the money. ."-Boston Commercial Bulletin.

MISCELLANEOUS. .

Two hundred and thirty assessors and twelve hundred assistant assessors will.be relieved on the 2Oth of May next. CRe- lieved to know that their services are no longer needed in "runnin' the guvment. "]
 The following concise and comprehen. sive note was sent to an Illinois merchant by neighboring farmer the other day :- ''Send me trace-chain and two hinges. Jane had baby last night-also two pad. locks"
 An eccentric old fellow, who lives along side of graveyard, was asked if it was not an unpleasant location. "No" said he, "I never tined places in all my life with set neighbors that minded their business so stiddy as they do."
 Cincinnati will send very unique con- tribution to the Vienna Exhibition. It con. sists of three charcoal drawings, each thirty feet in length and five in height, il- lustrating the manner in which they kill hogs on the banks of the Ohio.
 There are experts on all manner of sub jects in these days of litigation: A woman testified at Norwich, the other day, in g turkey case, and decla red she knew these turkeys ''by their walk, their countenance, and their manner of roosting."
 Some people scorn to be taught; others are ashamed of it, as they would be of go- ing to school when they are old; but it il never too late to learn what it is always necessary to know; and it is no shame to learn so long as we are ignorant-that is te say, as long as we live.
 Doctor" said sick man, ''what is tho matter with me ?" "Cerebro-splnal menin gitis," said the doctor, solemnly. ':Ah ? cried the patient with sigh. and instantly fell back and expired. No man could bt expected to hold out against such disease as that. He died of dictionary.
