his hand, to the cross. bar beneath. Jusi
as the balloon started it took FIRE near thc

llce the fire until he was too high to let

reached an altitude of twelve or fifteen
hundred feet, when the canvas that held
the hoop from which he was suspended
burned away and he fell, reaching the

railroads have resolved to raise the price
OF carrying graiu, this fall, on account OF
the abundant crops We don't believe it
but if the report proves true, these direc-
tors will find it about the dearest piece OF
business they ever went into. Such an
cxtortion won't be submitted to just now,
and would p oduce music by the entire
band. There is decidedly unhealthy
fever prevailing all over the country, aud
an act of this kind would bring on scenes
Of lawlessuess in which no one could fore

Don Piatt writes that Henry Waiter
son was "most grossly imposed upon
about Gen. Scheuck's status in London
According 10 Don, the general, "in hi
popularity and iohuence, compares favor
ably with Charles Fraucis Adams, Revcr-
dy johnson or Mr.. Motley. II an ac.
complshed gentleman, Of easy, agreeable
manners, added to recognized ability, can
redeem positi n false in itself and alb
surd in its workings, Robert G. Schenck
is the man."
