Loss by BURGLARY TURNED INTO GAIN
In Danville, KY, there is a college and also
theological seminary under the control of the
Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky. Last spring
these institutions received a severe blow by the
loss OF Sle4f00 in bonds deposited for safe
keeping in the Falls City Bank of Louisville,
which was robbed. This stimulated the friends
OF the college to active exertions in its behalf,
and IN a short time the sum of $4,000 was Sc
cured by subscription to replenish its treasury
Later the trustees of both institutions, accord
ing to the Louisville Commercial, made through
accredited agents of the burglars bargain
with the thieves who robbed the bank whereby
they recovered the stolen bonds by paving to
the agents of the robbers ST 600 in cash, SO
that they are now better Off than if the bur-
glary had never taken place. To be sure, the
recovery OF the securities involved the act of
compromising felony, an offence which, under
the laws of Kentucky, is punishable with fine
and imprisonment in the penitentiary: but it is
to be presumed that the high moral standing of
the gentlemen engaged in the crime will shield
them from any unple asant legal proceedings

MRS. LINCOLN AND THE OMNIBUS DRIVER
A correspondent of the New York Herald.
writing from ST Cathannes, Canada, says OF
his trip to Dalhousie There are a number of
anecdotes afioat here concerning the widow of
the late President, that exhibit her in the
light OF good hearted though rather eccentric
lady. One may repeat. On her arrival here
q few weeks ago she took one Of Davis omni-
buses for the hotels. On the way she asked
Davis about the names Of the different hotels
was asked, and Davis said he was unable to saw
Several other questions were put, upon all of
which Davis professed ignorance. Finally the
lady asked the omnibus man how long he had
lived in St. Catharine's? "a good MANY
years" "Did you know much when YOU
came?" "Not a great deal" "wel," re-
sponded the distinguished widow, "I don't think
you have learned much since you came" The
conversation dropped, and, as the Ticonderoga
man says, 4" The wagon drove on"

the veteran mronaut was found breathing
Systematically; but good shaking and
the removal Of the neck Of the balloon
from his face soon relieved him. Onward
the balloon sped, after this, until daylight
dawned, and at FIVE o'clock next morning
they were at the upper end of Lake Erie.
After some consultation it was resolved to
sail over the entire length Of It's waters,
In order to test notion entertained by
some persons that there is peculiar Atm
ity between balloons and water, which
draws the former towards the latter, and
prevents them from remaining suspended
above it any length of time. For some
time they moved along only $50 feet above
the lake; then, when near Buffalo, they
rose higher, crossed Grand Island, and
proceeded towards Lake Ontario. II was
here resolved to land at Rochester and let
out Messs. Hyde and eager, after which
Messrs. Wise and La Mountain were to
prosecute the voyage, hoping to reach
Boston, knowing they were too far north
now to reach New York. In order to
carry out this conclusion, they gradually
descended towards terra frnla, where they
met with terrific gale of wind, which
frustrated all their plans and nearly cost
them their lives. This hurricane struck
the balloon with great violence, sweeping
it downwards towards the water and dash
ing it along ut IN awful velocity. All the
ballast and everything that could be cast
away were thrown out to enable the balloon
to rise, but all in vain. Messrs. Hyde
and eager ascended to the basket, but Mr..
La Mountain kept his position in the boat,
even while it sometimes dashed through
the tops of the waves Of the lake. Mr..
Wise was hopeful that they would be saved,
but to every appearance they were all
doomed to lose their lives. At last the
balloon rose about one hundred feet, but
with more apparent danger still, for onward
it swept towards the land, and went crush
ing through the tops of trees, smashing
them like pipe stems, and continued thus
for about mile, until its progress was ar
rested by tall oak; and we are happy to
state, although the boat, basket, and bal
loon were much injured, a kind Providence
preserved the lives Of the daring erial
yoyagers, who escaped with only few
bruises.
"Thus ended the longest balloon journey
on record; it was commenced at st. Louis
on the evening of the LIST instant at 720
P. NJ, and completed near Adams, in JEFF
ferson county, N. Y, at 2.20 p. NJ, on
the subsequent day. The distance travel
ed was ! $50 miles; the time occupied 10
hours; speed compared with which, that
Of the locomotive is as that of donkey to
deer. The highest point attained was
little over two miles; and il appeared to
be very pleasant voyage until the parties
met with the gale, in which the balloon
became perfectly unmanageable,
Although. this aerial voyage is the
longest on record, it does not appear to
have added to our stock of knowledge in
regard to making ballooning safe and
practicable. ."-Scientifc American.

ial reference to the facility for securing
the genial and cheering influence Of the
sun. Greenhouses are constructed SO as
to secure the greatest supply Of light, and
children require as much light as plants.
Light is not only essential to the preserya-
ton Of health, but il equally important in
the treatment Of diseases. There are
large number of disorders which may be
greatly benefited, if not cured, by free OK
posure to the light Of the sun, while It
certainly exerts an influence on the mind,
favorable to recovery, which cannot be
wholly explained by the mere cheerfulness
and calmness it produces.

sanitary value of light to the sick. She
says: at is the unqualified result of all

CLEANS over his opening grave, no weeping
wife to bend like comforting angel over
his dying pillow, and wipe the death damp
from his brow; no fond daughter to draw
his chilly hand into the soft pressure of
hers and warm his icy blood with reviving
fits of availing affection, no manly boy to
link his breaking name with the golden
chain of honorable society, and bind his
history in the vast volumes Of the world
he is leaving forever He has eaten and
drunk and died, and earth is glad she's
got rid Of him, for he made little else to
