THE BALLOON TRIr.- Washington, August
IA few days ago the officers of the Bu'
reau of Navigation Of the Navy Department
were considerably surprised by the receipt
of Il letter from Professor Wist, one of the
acIOnauts of the proposed transatlantic
aerial voyage. The professor desired GER
tain charts, but rs the rules of the Hydro
graphic Office were prepared in the days of
terrestrial navigation, there was no means by
which this unparalleled demand could be
granted. An order from the Secretary OF
The Navy, however, eyercamc the objection,
and i fine chart of the Atlantic ocean, show

Guiding f;ttiloms. islands, shoals, breakers,
and sunkcn rocks, and an elaborate work
from the naya! observatory on the heavenly
bodies, with charts of familiar stars and their

professor Is. therefore, well provided Tor

be across the vast dome Of the armament or

HAIR.

This beautiful adornment Of the
human figure gets terribly abused.
So much is said lately of people
wearing that which does not belong
to them that we can safely let that
subject alone. What we cry out
against, is the torture and distigure-
ment to which that which is kind
enough to grow on our heads is
sometimes subjected. Children usu-
ally have fine, soft hair and even
when uncombed and tangled it
has some wild beauty. You long to
get hold of it, to part it and brush it
and see how softly it will lie over
brow and neck.
But some sacrcligious persons lay
hands on young girls hair that
might be a crown of beauty, and at
the bidding of mcrciless fashion,
strain 1t all straight Dack ana up 10
the crown of her head and tie it there,
leaving it to hang in switch or braid
an utter Disagreement.
Our boys fare little better, OF
course we do not know what they
may come to; but what is the use OF
anticipating the worst, and making
them as convicts or lunatics before
their time. 1t is cruel, for it cannot
be remedied. A poor little fellow
has to wait for his hair to grow be-
fore he can be relieved from the in
Fiction.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DECISION
The opinion of Judge Sharswood, of
the Supreme Court. in the case of
Beale against the Penna. II. r., is
one Of great interest to the public as
well as to the railroad companies.
The case in the lower court was
brought by the widow and heirs of
Thomas Beale to recover damages
for his killing by the railroad com
pany, at q crossing i'll the village Of
Patterson. Mr.. Beale was driving
across the railroad track in a wagon
drawn by one horse. and was struck
and killed by the Fast Line east. On
the trial, counsel requested Judge
Bucher to say to the jury, as mat
ter of law, that as the uncOntrovCrted
testimony showed that as the unfortu-
nate man killed did not stop before
driving on the track, there could be
no recovery. The Judge told the
Jury this was the law, but left it to
them to find whether the approach
Of the train could have been seen by
Bealc, and instructed them. if it could
not have been seen, they might find
verdict for tie plaintiffs. This the
jury did and the company took the
case to the Supreme Court Judge
Sharswood. in settling the law, says:
"There rever was a more impor-
tant principle settled than that the
fact Of the failure to stop immediate
ly before crossing a railroad track
is not merely evidence Of negligence
for the jury but negligence per Sc,
and q question for the Court. 1t
was important, not as much to rail
road companies as to the travelling
public. Collisions of this character
have often resulted in the loss of
hundreds of valuable lives-of pas
sengers on trains-and they will do
so again if travellers crossing rail
roads are not taught their simple
duty, not only to themselves but to
others. x The Judge should,
upon the uncontradicted evidence.
have directed verdict for the defen-
dants." The Supreme Court further
decide that the duty of stopping is
more manifest where an approaching
train cannot be seen or heard than
where it cam"
We hope the above will be a warn
ing to our fast young men who are
in the habit of racing their horses
over the Main Street crossing Of the
j. S., P. c. & B. r. W., in this Bo-
rough. 1t is very certain that if they
came to a full stop they could not
see the train coming.

THE indications are that there will
be three tickets submitted to the vo-
ters of Schuylkill county the coming
fall, the Labor Reform party mani
Testing a determination TO enter tie
field again. On Tuesday the staLd-
ing committee hcld a meeting at
Pottsville, at which the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Reports have been circu-
lated that the labor reformers would
not nominate a ticket this fall; there
fore,
Resolved, That we will not aban-
don the field, but will use every legit-
innate effort to inaugurate a vigo-
rous campaign, believing the labor re-
form principles to be best calculated
to secure the welfare of the people Of
our country.
John Siney, President of the Min
ers' and Laborers' Benevolent Asso-
citation, is opposed to the nomination
of ticket and thinks there are other
matters to consider just now Of more
vital Importance to the workingmen's
interests.

that if he lives he will carry Pennsyl-
vania against Blaine on this ac-
COUNT
We do not believe word of this.
Speaker Blaine is not recognized as
candidate for the Presidency; more
over we know that he is not "a free
trader" and that his views on pro-
lection are not unacceptable to Sena-
tor Cameron or to Pennsylvania. On
all occasions, as the key to every
political maneuvre, we have the
same rehash of the story of Senator
Cameron's desire to have "the reso-
luton of censure expunged from the
records, &C." If Senator Cameron
has not been thoroughly yindicated
from the passage and effect OF that
resolution of censure, all the eXpung-
ing that can be done by the House
of Representatives will never relieve
him. He has been twice since elect
ed to the Senate, the last time with
out the slightest opposition. lie has
been placed at the head Of the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations, in the
room of Charles Sumner, position
of the very highest character and a
worldwide exhibition of the conf
dence reposed in him by his col
leagues and his Government. More
over, his policy as Secretary OF War
has, by the lapse of time and events,
been fully justified. 1t is universally
conceded that he is the only man
connected with the Government at
the beginning of the Rebellion who
thoroughly comprehended the mag
nitude of the struggle and made pre-
parations commensurate with its real
scope and character. What he could
desire more. we are at loss to con-
ceive. The resolution of censure IS
forgotten incident Of the past-his
/ position, services and honors are lly-
/ ing facts of the present. The first IS
never dug up from the musty arch
| ives of Congress, but in an attempt
to disparage him, while the latter,
always existing, will secure to him
and to his memory for all time, the
respect and remembrance of, his fel-
/ lOwmen.
We have no special admiration for
Senator Cameron and have never
been among the number of his adhe-
rents. But we despise and condemn
the promiscuous denunciation and
abuse constantly heaped upon him,
and are willing to recognize his real
/ ly great qualities and the truly yalu-
able services he las rendered his
country. We feel assured that the
action and motives ascribed to him,
in the special dispatch to which we
have alluded, are utterly without
foundation PtHSburg Erentng Icte-

ton; was of industrious habits, used
plain, wholesome diet, had a cheerful

IT SEEMS Brigham Young, some
time not long since, had revelation
that down in the territory of Arizona
was a region flowing with milk and
honey which the Saints could walk
into and possess. Straightway he
fitted out an expedition and sent it
off to make discoveries. They
reached the locality indicated and
tried their best to make the Prophets
vision good, but facts were against
them and the honey and milk could
not be found. They have now re-
turned to Salt Lake City evidently
disgusted with Brigham and doubt
ing the inspiration Of his revelations.
There seems to be no further re
move for the Saints. They must
fight it out where they are, and the
result does not appear to be doubt
lul even 10 Inem.
Not long since Brigham preached
a sermon for the benefit of the dis
affected wives of Mormondom. He
told them he was going to set all Of
his wives free, divorce them all even
to the first wife, and then such as
wanted to leave could pack their
duds and go for he was tired and
worn out with their whining. But
if they chose to remain then they
should stay and be peaceable and
live the whole of their religion. A
part would not do, they must take
the whole dose. He then advised all
of the brethren to follow his example,
set their wives free and let them 90
if they chose to. He did not want
to hear any more complaints.
We apprehend if this course is
really taken the possibility of pos
sessing the whole of a husband in
stead of a part will cause heavy fiut-
tering Of Mormon calico in the camps
Of the miners and the ranches of the
gentle farmers.

ISN'T there just a little laxity in
the manner of selecting Southern of
fcials, by the general government?
Major Elias Griswold, of rebel prison
fame, has been appointed a special
agent Of the Post-office department.
The Savannah (Ga.,) Adrertiser, has
this to say Of him:
The notorious Capt. Wirtz was a
sergeant under Griswold and carried
out his orders, and we know from
actual experience of his treatment of
Federal and Union prisoners, that if
Wirtz deserved hanging Capt. Girls
ao0ld should have been hung by has
side. His brutal orders and still
more brutal treatment of the sick,
deserve some other reward than Fed
eral appointment to office.
If Southerners must be appointed,
let it be those who fought honorably
during the war. Those who tortured
Union prisoners deserve no favor.
