The success that has crowned the
efforts of those concerned in building
the Palisade AMI Eureka Railroad
seems to alarm the editor of the
Rcrciue as to the future prospects of
Austin and the surrounding country.
In a late issue of that paper he en-
deavors to urge upon the people of
Lander county the vital importance of
a railroad connection with Battle
Mountain and that place, though a bill
granting a charter for such a company
was vetoed by Gov. Bradley at the last
session of the Legislature. The people
of Lander, however, do not seem 10

road. link that they are invulnerablc
so long as the affairs of the Manhattan
Company are conducted with the same
>killful and honest management which
has characterized it heretofore. Re-
ferriny to the subject, the Rcreisie
says:

ell. save one. have left us since the
building of the {. +. X. Il. Austin.

exception of the travel of Belmont:
and the time is drawing nigh when

surely accomplish this, fori will bring
the people of Belmont within ninety
miles of the railroad cars instead of

A PerilOus Leap.


A Richmond paper of recent date
says that Miss Matte, daughter of Judge
Robert Ould, was the heroine of street
adventure which, in its elimination,
made the hearts of all observers leap into
their Threats. She had just seated herself
upon a melted horse in front of her faith
er's residence to accompany Judge B. w.
Lacy, delegate from New Kent, on an
equestrian jaunt, when the animal dashed
off at rapid rate through Twelfth street
into Governor and down Governor into
Main. Several colored men ran out at
different points to stop the runaway, but
the intrepid rider, who retained her COM
posure as well as her hold of the reins,
Charles Ross was driving slowly up Main
street, and perceiving the approach of the
runaway purposely halted his team across
Governor street. In a second the flying
steed was close upon the hack horses, and
essayed to overleap them. AS he did so
Miss Guild sprang to the box of the hack
and was caught by the strong arm of
Ross. The horse collided with the hack
team and was thrown down by the con-
cussion. Several persons then rushed up
and securely held the three frightened
animals Miss Ould was escorted into the
Bank of Commerce, where she received
every attention. She was not only I'M
hurt, but almost free from emotional ex-
element, and calmly related to her friends
the particulars of her unwilling flight.
Judge Lacy soon arrived and accOmpa.

Another Balloon Expedition.

The failure of all North Pole expedi-
tons to discover the secret of the Arctic
regions has stimulated the Aeronautlc 80
ciety of Paris to attempt an Arctic balloon
VOYAGE. Extravagant as the notion may
appear, it is not more extravaganza IMAM
Prof. Wise's project of crossing the AT
lantic Ocean in a balloon. One advan-
tage of an aerial North Pole voyage is the
temperature of the Arctic regions, which
prevents the escape of gas from the bal
loon to such degree that it is supposed
to be quite feasible to construct balloon
which will last three months voyage.
Another advantage is the absence OF dark
ness in the Northern regions. If the bal
loon leaves in the summer time the sun
will illumine the heavens during the
whole trip. Then, again, the permanency
in the direction of the winds around the
regions of the North Pole would be
another point in favor of the trip to the
North Pole over that across the Atlantic.
The size of the proposed balloon is liked
at about $4,000 cubic meters. 1t is calcu-
lated to carry ten men, three months pro-
visions, apart from the ballast, number
of instruments, an anchor, and drag
ging rope, which will touch the ground
should the balloon sink too near to the
earth. An ingenious arrangement mas
also been made to prevent the balloon
from rising higher than 500 meters, or
about 1850 feet. The boat of the bal
loon is to be lined with sheep-skins and
heated with lamps, so that even if the
temperature should fall to 80 deg. be-
low zero outside it will be 5 deg. above
zero inside. A vessel is to carry the men,
the balloon, and the ingredients for the
manufacture of the necessary amount of
gas to about the seventeenth degree of
latitude. This will leave trip of about
800 miles to the North Pole for the bal
loon to accomplish; and the voyage there
and back could be made within twenty
days. Everything, however, is to be pre-
pared for full three months trip. The
enterprise is exciting unusual interest
among the scientific men of Europe, and
is, indeed, one of the most wonderful
schemes ever conceived by the human
mind,
