THE GRAPHIC BALLOON NOT ENTIRELY IN VA1N.-One case af great good has been accomplished by means of the last Graphic balloon. Dr. Buel of Litchfield conducts with great credit to himself, private hos pital for the insane, in that town. Among the inmates there was man named Hem ingway, from Boston. who had been there twelve years. He was formerly an active business man, but by trouble had lost both his intellect and power of speech Gradu- ally the mans mind came back 70 him. and he became an industrious reader of the newspapers, and thereby made himself aware of the leading events of the day. He made himself understood by motions of his head and hands. But little hope. however. was entertained that he would speak again. On the day that the balloon went over Litchfeld toward Canaan. all sight-seers were greatly excited. Some one rushed wildly to Dr. Buclrs asylum and cried that the balloon was going over the town. "A balloon balloon! rll go out and see it." suddenly spoke MT. Hrming- way. He went out. gagged at the air ship as it went hy, and from that moment could speak again. and as well as he could before his derangement. He is now at his home In Boston. .-Neao Haurn Union.

Important Railroad Movement.

The Rutland Hsrold says: The Central Vermont railroad company have leased the Harlem Extension railroad, the lease being perfected on Monday, and is to take effect from November 1st. Hon. John Gregory Smith, president; J. w. Hobart. general superintendent. The Central company propose to put on one or more through trains for New York at once, if arrange ments can be made with the Harlem rail road company to connect at Chatham, msk Q through line from Montreal, St. Albans and Burlington via Rutland and Harlem Extension railroad. We are informed that Vanderbilt has signified his willingness to do anything reasonable, so that we may ex- pect through trains to New York over this route in short time. We do not see why this cannot be made popular route, and do large passenger and freight business when it is established in the public conf dence.
 At Millerton connection is to be made with the Conn. Western railroad, which runs to Hartford, Conn.,, giving them an outlet into that section of the country. We are informed that the new lessees will at once put the Harlem Extension road in proper shape for the increased business to be done, putting on much new iron, and adding what rolling stock is necessary.

SIGN or DEATH.-Some time ago the academy of sciences in Paris offered 6 prize of $4o00 for some simple and posi- tive sign of death, which any non-profes- sional person could understand and apply. Such test, suggested in Virehow's Ar chiv. is considered very satisfactory by the British medical press. It consists in tying string firmly around the fingers of the supposed corpse if the blood circulates in the least-in which case death has not ta- ken place-the whole finger will turn 8 bluish red. It is conceivable that such a test would be very useful in case of drown ing and asphyxia; It may be legitimate to cite case which occurred not long ago at Brussels. A drunken man fell into canal and remained so long immersed that very little hope was entertained of his recovery. He was to all appearance corpse. Dr. Jovx, physician to the police, to whom ap- plication is made in such cases. did not share the cenyictions of the bystanders, and, having used the most energetic means of restoration for three hours, ended by applying hot iron to the patient, who in - stantly moved slightly. The former meas ures were reverted to, and the supposed corpse stood up in less than half an hour, branded indeed, but none the worse for the accident.

WAR;

That the seizure of the Virginius as 8 pirate in Cuban waters by Spaniards, and the summary execution of the prisoners will he cause for WAT, there seems at the present time scarcely . question. The wAole American nind seems to have as sumed belieerent aspect. and the desire for proper resentment of the insult to the Amerioea lag seems to be universal. This unwarraatabls slaughter of American citi- zens; treating them as pirates and murder ing with this unseemly haste to prevent possibility of intervention by either the government of Spain or of the United States, is an insult to the nation. which it is not slow to realize. The Press and the people seem at this early hour after the ex- ecutisns to be thoroughly aroused. 1ndig- nation meetings are held in New York and other large cities, and assurances of the speedy and sure cooperation of the people with the Government in the event of the adoption of vigorous war measures, are freely given, and in such language that the government cannot misunderstood. Prep arations at the various navy yards for a war on the seas are being pushed with all possible haste, and already are many on their way to the West Indies. It is thought that on the re-sssembline of Congress, two weeks hence, war will at once be declared with Spain, unless satisfactory reparation is made by that government before that time. The Virginius was sailing under regular papers. She had got into waters other than those of the United States, and was captured. It was the duty of the Spanish government to have held her for trial. If she had violated any law this government was the proper one to punish her for it. But the bloodthirsty villains, anticipating such . result could not consent to have it 80, and would be satisfied with nothing short of this murderous slaughter.
 Not only have they engendered feeling in the breast of every American in the land, that this humiliating insult to our Bag. and the lives of the slaughtered must be avenged. but Great Britain is giving the mat ter little of her personal attention. In this hassacIeoA uity -oeSen AuuAoA Oeinke' SeF- enteen were British subjects. and between the two nations, Span will very likely And it for her advantage to make such con- sessions as will fully satisfy all demands, or at least it would seem as though it would bea national policy for her to do SO. AS matters are now allowed to rest. it would seem as though war with that power is imminent.

 The question is often asked, Why will people talk (out of which grows islander, about their neighbors2" This question has never been satisfactorily solved, and never will be. We all talk about our neighbors. It is natural, instructive, agreeable, and we cannot help it, particularly If our neighbors belong to our set. are the right kind, ac- cording to our estimate; but if they arc not up to our standard, then let the tongues wag f1ippantly with little dash of spice, and our mind IS relieved, and we feel much happier; happy until Fred. White drives up and asks for the Madame, hands her & paper with many blanks we'll filled, reads tue original, says nothing about the matter at issue filings his dust in colier's face and hastens home. Then we feel that our paradise is somewhat clouded because Sat isfaction is demanded by the aforesaid neighbor badly spoken of, and we must answer for the same before the Squire" within weeks notice. Gentle reader, did you ever steal goslings, or other game and if you meyer did, imagine your feelings in bring accused of so doing. Would you not feel slightly embarrassed. and would you not fly to q neighhor and ask her or his advice know you would. and ten to one feel relieved and be happy for d time, for the advice would be, ''To lawyer Go," aud he or she would z adly accompany you aLd throw in few words by way of rhetoric and hear what :he man of law would say in the premises Why. whai could he say7 Hc certainly would say, Il never encourage law suit unless some le- gal principle is involved, nor unless some great wrong has been committed against property or person, but if you are in for a free fight and general scrimmsge, I,abov- all men, am the proper party to conduct you to victory" Of course he would look grave, hesitate and prose, and then thu SOL emn words, You must vindicate your character whenever assailed, and particu- larly in case of .the kind. or else be branded as gamesome thief during your natural existence" Again you feel happy too, and your witnesses having received the legal stamps feel happy, and everybody on our side beams with happiness until tue hour of trial, then there is perceptible change and We begin to feel little soleu all around: The justice, the lawyers md spectators are all interested the plaintiff opens his battery and makes out clean bill ot fare then the other side blaz away, and things are mxed-ail is not, Ii @ beautiful ''couleur de Rose."

These gentlemen, like everybody else, were not informed in detail of the coming of the present existing panic as early as last June. at which tune they were making their pur- chases in foreign markets for the coming holidays, and having provided largely for that trade, have the goods to sell, and panic or no panic, they must be sold.

SETTLED AT LAsT.-Mr. Clements R. Markham, formerly of Her Majesty's Arc tic ship Assistance, has published book, in which he argues from variety of tech
 nibsl considerations, that the ''open Polar sea" imagined by various adventurers, can only exist if there is continent at the Pole, and he infers from the currents and other facts observed, that there is no such continent, but that sledge expedition from Robeson strait would find frozen sea extending to the North Pole itself. In any other direction it would be met by the difficulty which proved fatal to Parry's at- southward drift of the ice fields, with it's attendant dangers. If this conclu- sion, which seems reasonable, can only be aecepted, what an amount of human suf- fering and waste Of money it would save. But suppose there is an open Polar sea and a continent, will any one navigate the sea or locate upon such a continent while there are so much water and so much land which are more attractive Let us be magnani- nous and leave at least one continent for our grsat-great-grsndchildren to discover.
