prove lucrative employment, he left
his lodgings suddenly, and had since

Buckncr and burnside.

The Mobile Register notes that some
thing OF romance is connected with
the recent return to Mrs. Buckner, the
wife Of General s. b. Buckner, the ex-
Confederate General, OF Kentucky, Of n
certain largo property, which, when the
war broke out she had conveyed to
her brother. When General Buckner
entered tho Confederate service, and
before Mrs. Buckner Joined him there,
she conveyed tlOproperty to her brother
under deed Of trust. The young man
afterwards married, became father, and
entered the Union service. The ques.
tion now was what would become OF the
property. II lie should die or be killed

burg, however, he made will OF this
character, and at tho battle named was
killed. General Burnside, who COM
mAnded the corps in which the young
man served, knew that this will had been
made. He kept the secret, and, after
the war, informed General Buckuer Of
il, and the latter by his aid was enabled
to recover tho will. The testamentary
proofs having been obtained, Mrs.
Buckner's tito was fully proved, and

to hang upon slender thread, was

Railroad.

The question of a railroad to Al
pena, of which there has been con
siderable said during the past year
has finally been worked up to a de
gree that looks very favorable.
We learn from reliable authority
that the completion of the Crane
Rapids, Greenville and Alpena rail,
road from Greenville to this city
will be at no very distant day. II
is proposed to commence work at
both ends of the route, and that
within a few weeks, and then tc
build the road as fast as possible
until completed.
It is said that q loan of S5,000,-
900 toward the construction of this
line has been effected in England,
and the balance will no doubt be
made up along the rout. 1t is ex-
pected that Alpena will be asked to
raise about $4,000 as her proper
ton, and we earnestly hope and
trust our citizens viii contribute
promptly and literally, as it is an
enterprise of great importance to
this section.
The building of this road will
open up one of the richest portions
of the State, which will (Alpena
being the terminus) make this city
a port of vast Importance for the
shipment of the products from the
interior, and as a natural conse-
quence, there will be a line of
steamers established between here
and the Canadian shore, as a means
Of shortening the distance between
eastern cities and the northern por-
ton of Michigan during the sea-
son of navigation.
We can only hope and pray that
every good fortune may attend the
enterprise, and the road be hasten
ed to completion.

LOSfA Subscriber.

A Western contemporary thinks it
smart TO relate that an Iowa editor
recently, to keep up with the styles,
ran away with another mans wife.
He did not get off so easily, howev-
er, as he imagined he would. The
man followed him and overlook the
truant pair. The editor got behind
the woman, and prepared to sell his
life as dearly as possible. He was
uncertain as to whether the outraged
husband would shoot him, or murder
him with a carving knife He stood
there, like the boy upon the burning
deck, and calmly awaited the result.
The outraged husband came up with
in about two feet of the editor. and
said, 'ECuss your impudence! 1 want
you to stop my paper" That was
all. The editor recovered himself,
and said he would have the matter
attended to at once. During all the
trying scene the woman stuck to the
editor like a sand-burr to girls
stocking. Some people get mad and
stop their paper for almost nothing
it beats all.

Microsc0nic Worms.

Some time ago Assistant Surgeon
Lewis, of the British army, having
been assigned to special duty under
the Sanitary Commission for the Gov
ernment of India, in examining the
urine and blood of certain patients,
discovered the existence of living,
active worms, hitherto unobserved.-
The worms are LIS of an inch in
length and they have a transverse
diameter of 1-35000 of an inch. They
are SO numerous as to be found in
blood drawn from any part of the
body, and so persistent that they
may exist in the system for months
or years without any marked evil
consequence being observed. 1t is
said, however, that they may give
rise to serious diseases, and ultimate
ly cause death. These worms ap-
pear, through the microscope, like in
completely developed snakes; they
move necessarily, coiling and uncoil-
ing themselves, and rush about among
the blood corpuscles in all directions.
They do not appear to exist anywhere
but in the blood and urine.

BalIOOning.

In view of the fact that Messrs.
Wise and Donaldson are getting up
a balloon in which they propose to
make a trip to Europe, information
on the general subject becomes inter
esting.
We cut the following from the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
An aeronaut, apparently well vers-
ed in the history of ballooning exper-
iments, cites the following facts apro-
pos of Wise's intended voyage across
the Atlantic. In November, 1888,
Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis
D'ARLANDEs made the first ascent
from Paris in a Montgolfere, as their
balloon was called; rose three thous-
and feet above the surface, and trav-
eled about six miles in twenty-five
minutes. It was fourteen months
from that time before the English
Channel was crossed by NJ. Blanch-
ard, of Paris, and DR. John Jeffries,
of Boston; and that was regarded as
a wonderful exploit, notwithstanding
the distance from Dover to Calais is
but fifteen miles. 1t was the sea
which rendered the voyage so remark
able. If they had gone a hundred
leagues over land, it would not have
attracted half the attention which the
trayersing of those five leagues of wa
ter did. 1t is nearly century since
Cavalle tried the first balloon expert
ment on large scale, and with little
success; and yet in spite of repeated
promises and preparations of aeron-
auts, not one of them has ever start
ed to cross the Atlantic. 1t is ques-
tionable if any one of them had seri
ously thought of going, extensively
as they had advertised their assump-
tions. With Professor Wise it is diff
ferent. He means business. If he
does not reach Europe it will be no
fault of his; he will will use his best
exertions, aided by all that prudence
and science can suggest. The deter
mined and intelligent effort will be
with him, the result with the gods"
We object, says the Huntington
Independent, to the last sentence IL
the above extract. The language of
polytheism, albeit it may be more
classical, is out of place in an Ameri-
can paper of the 10Th century. The
clause should read, "the result is
with God"

When Anna Dickinson was lectur-

thus introduced her: "Ladies and

front of the platform, "Miss Dickin-

life and adventures of John Dark,
one of the greatest heroes of antiqui-
ty. We are not as familiar with the
heroes of antiquity as we ought to be,
owing to the long time since antiqui-
ty; but one thing is certain, and that
is that Miss Dickinson can tell us all
about the most remarkable man of
them all-John Dark"
