Revolvers may be useful some
times but of what service can they
be to q traveller in western Wilds ii
slowed away in his trunk or valise ?
Recently stage left the town nf

as the coach reached the summit of

ers by the bits, and bid the driver
ssget down." He was ordered to
take the horses from the coach and
lead them to one side. He obeyed.
Next the passengers were told to
dismount and seat themselves on q
log. Each of the robbers held q
double-barrelled shotgun, and the
order was obeyed with alacrity.
The passengers sat still as mice uu-
der cover of the shot-guns, and ST.
lently watched the operations of the
robbers in getting at the contents of
the safe. The sconndrels drilled
holes, poured powder into the
openings, tamped them, and then
lighted the fuse. In half minute
there was a thick puff of smoke, a
dull, heavy sound, and there lay
the safe open. 1t was but the work
of minute to sack the bags of gold
and packages of greenbacks, and
then the robbers ordered the pas
sengers to mount The travellers
obeyed, and took their seats; and
the driver was ordered to "hitch
up," and was requested to t'drive on
quick, and not lag once for q mile"
And the way the four-horse team
| few away from the locality would
astonish a locomotive. The robbers
obtained between 90, 600 and SI2, 900.
1t was afterward ascertained that
every passenger had revolver
safely packed in his valise or trunk.
BARNUM AND THE BALLOON BUsI-

nouncement: Sin reply to host

Balloon does not cross the Attain
tic the present autumn, l will eX-
pend $4,000 if necessary, in hav-
ing that feat attempted, and if pos
sible, accomplished, as early next
year as may be, provided one or
more 9ronauts can be found in
America or Europe who have faith
in its success and will heartily at
tempt its accomplishment. Mr..
Queen, the English balloonist, who
has made upward of 600 ascen-
sions, told me in London % years
ago, that the Atlantic could be
safely crossed in a balloon in two
or three days, and he offered to
attempt it if would provide the
funds. l am already in CORES
pondence with several Gronauts In
France and England, and although
l should prefer the honor to be
given to an American, have no
doubt that the feat will be accom-
plished within a twelve month.

featured in China, put together
and prepared under the direction
of scientific men in London, an
experimental ascension made from
the Sydenham Crystal Palace
grounds, then bring the balloon
to America, and make the trans
Atlantic trip from New York. l

I put my hand to the pillow I shall

A dispatch from Washington to
the New York Herald conveys a
piece of information which will prove
of peculiar interest TO Virginians,
whose love for thc-memory of Thorn.
as Jefferson has always risen above
party. Says the Heralds corresdond-
ent:
"Old Commodore Levy was re-
markable for his bravery and his ad-
miration of Jefferson. He was, in
short, an original Democrat, and had
no love for Caesar. More than o quar-.
ter OF century ago, and while COM
manding the European squadron, he
employed a celebrated Italian artist to
make him full length statue Of JET
ferson, whioh he had cast in bronze
This statue he brought home and
presented TO the government, with q
request that it be placed in conspic-
uous place in one OF the public
grounds. A Wing Congress made
an attempt to refuse the gift, but
Webster, more generous than Con.
gress, came to the rescue, and, being
friend of Commodore, he had it &C.
cepted and placed on a pedestal in
front of the White House, where It
has ever since stood, an embodiment
OF the simplicity and the Democratic
principles on which our Government
was founded. The present occupants
of the White House have for some
time regarded this statue with great
dislike, and have hinted to General
o. Il. Babcock that 1t ought to be re-
moved. Babcock only requires o
word, and is to-day proceeding TO
carry out the commands, and the
statue OF Jefferson, the gift of the
brave old Commodore, is bound hands
and feet, with ropes, ready to bo lift
cd from the place where il has stood
for more than quarter ofa century
and to be placed in an obscure part of
the grounds, away from public view.
Congress did not authorize this work
of vandalism, nor did it make any ap-
preparation for the work now being
done in front of the White House.
General o. Il. Babcock now assumes
the entire responsibility. The worst
feature of the whole affair is in the
fact that in the place where the statue
stood, an unsightly iron fountain is to
be placed, suggesting very different
thoughts. So much for Jefferson's
dislike of anything like Cesarism."

in. Mrs. Sawyer assented jOyously
to it all, but we thought we detected
n shade Of sadness on her face when

health was not good. "Oh, yes,"
she said, very good indeed, and she
loved him dearly. He was the best
man in the world, but--but-."
Then we assured Mrs. Sawyer that
she might speak frankly to US, as we
we're Sawyer's most intimate friend,
and could smooth any little unpleas-
antness that might mar their happi-
ness. She then said that it was moth
ing. 1t might seem foolish to speak
Of it; she knew it was not her dear
husbands fault, and she ought not

was but one thing to prevent her be-
ing perfectly happy: yes, but one
thing: "For OF, Mr.. Adeler, /
would ask for nothing more in this
world if Ezekiel only had a Roman
noseP We did not mention the
subject to Ezekiel when we met him
for fear Of exciting him. But it is
sad TO think Of two young loving
hearts separated just for want Of one
Roman nose. Any woman who truly
loved her husband might, we think,
live happily with him II he had a
nose like bar Of CASTLE soap.
