PROF. JOHN WISE and W. Fl.
Donaldson, Two experienced
and well known eronauts, pro.
pose to take the balloon voy
age to Europe, of which SO
much has been SAID and so lit
tie done. The Boston Board of
Aldermen have responded to a
petition from them, and made
an appropriation of $4,000 to
aid them in fitting out an eri-
al ship, in which they will start
from the Common in that city
on the 4lh of July. The gen.
tlemen intend taking two other
persons with them, and through
the cooperation of the Frank
lin Institute of Philadelphia,
expect to secure the services
of two scientific men. Prof.
Wise bases his reason for un.
dertaking this perilous voyage
on the following theories: At a
certain height above the earth
there is a continuous air cur
rent, or tide setting from west
to east, caused mainly by the
centrifugal lorce generated by
the revolution oil The earth on
its axis, and that this current
moves at the rate OF from go to
100 miles per hour. Thus he
expects to reach England in
two days, at the most from the
time OF starting.

A gentleman was riding
from Dedham beside a charm
ing, veiled lady, with whom he
had scraped acquaintance. At
the close of the ride he begged
her to disclose her face, saying,
"If the face is as beautiful as
the hands and voice, then in.
deed have found her for whom
| have sought the world over. I"
When she raised her veil, he
found she was his wife.

The Farmers Convention.

|
The Convention which met las
Saturday, in this city,was a decid
ed success, 9TH as to the numbers
in attendance, and as to the
character of the resolution,
adopted. Of the regular reso
lutions, we need only say thai
hey are clear and terse, and are
expressed in no equivocal Ian.
guage.
We have watched the progress
of the Farmers movement with
interest. Thus far it has been
conducted with great prudence
and wisdom. In all the resOIu.
tions we have seen, which have
thus far been adopted, in various
places, we find nothing but a
temperate and dignifcd demand
for just and equitable relief for
the farmers of the nation. An
effort has been made to create a
prejudice against this movement
by charging that it is intended
to advance the interests of the
farmers at the expense of all
other classes. The charge is
wholly unfouDded. The farmers
only demand equal rights for all
and special privileges for none.
The resolutions adopted on
Saturday are to be laid before
the Constitutional Convention
We hope that that body will en-
graft such provisions into the
fundamental law as will render
the existence of oppressive mo-
nopolies in Ohio an impossibility.
We say, therefore, that, judg.
ing the Farmers movements by
its avowed principles, it should
receive the unanimous support
of all good citizens. The inter
ests of all classes in the body
polite are so mutually related
that whatever promotes the real
interests of any one class, at the
samc time benefits every other
class. The increased prosperity
OF the farmers will insure better
wages to the mechanic, the farm
hand and the laborers in every
department of industry. The
movement being simply intended
to secure equal rights to all,
commends itself to as as worthy
of the unreserved support of all,
regardless of class, occupation
or party.-Circleville Union.

"R. M. S. in the Marietta
Register, says he lately came
across an advertisement in the
Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, Of
Feb. 20, 1895, signed by "Geo.
Washington" offering for let or
sale his landed estates. His
entire estate contained over
$4,000 acres. On the Ohio Riv-
er between Wheeling and the
Great Kanawha River he own
ed 9,744 acres, having a river
front of over Is miles. On the
KanawLa he owned four tracts,
containing 1926 acres, and
having river frontage of ever
Al miles. The two largest
of the tracts were within a few
miles of the confluence of the
Kanawha with the Ohio River.
The first is described as on the
west side of the river, begin
ming within 2 or 8 miles of its
mouth, "6 or s miles from Gal
lipolis," and containing 10,99O
acres, with II miles river front
age. The second tract was on
east side of the river, a little
higher up, II miles river front
age, and contained 1896 acres.
The other two tracts were near
Cole River. He also had land
IN Kentucky and in Hamilton
county, Ohio. All of these
lands were the best in their
several sections, and have since
become the homes of an enter
prising and wealthy people,
thus showing, that in land mat
ters, as we'll as In the greater
duties of establishing a free
government, Gen. W ashlngton
was thoughtful and wise.

Monroe and Tyler are buried in Holly
wood Cemetery, in Richmond. The plain
est Of cenotaphs covers the grave of the
former, and rust is eating Oft the dismal
colored paint that once protected the iron.
Tyler's grave is entirely unmarked, and
rank weeds and tall grass luxuriate around
it and obscure it from sight. The Legisla-
ture begged his family to allow his remains
to be inferred here. and promised to erect
over them a suitable monument, but the
treasury has been 81 empty and legisla-
tors SO engaged with other matters that no
step has yet been taken in that direction.
Thanks to the ladies Of the Mount Vernon
Association, the tomb Of Washington, at
Mount Vernon, in Westmoreland county
is well cared for, and is still visited
by people from all parts of the world who
revere the memory of the Father of his
Country. Jefferson is huiS3d on his old es-
tate, Monticello. near Charlottesville. The
simple shaft that covers the grave has been
picked and chopped by relic hunters, and
grass and weeds are allowed to grow about
IL undisturbed. Madison sleeps at Mont
pelier, in Madison county, and nothing but
a simple monument of cheap kind and poor
design points the curious travellers to his
resting place. The Virginians, while hold

have been unaccountahly negligent and in
