Sup IN A BALLOON"

The famous poet and philosopher, j. G.
Mcdonald, has recently arrived in our city,
and has illumined our oAGAS~ith his intellec.
tual countenance. -
The professor we'll knowing that the time Of
our business men is devoted to the study of
the science and poetry of everyday business
transactions comes to our city for the purpose
of enlisting their sympathies in the greatest
undertaking of modern days.
For many years mankind hss planned and
dreamed, and dreamed and planned, OF some
thing that weuld sail on the bilowy bosom Of
the atmosphere, as the ship sells on the
sparkling bosom of the ocean, and men might
have gone on dreaming md planning, had
Prof Mcdonald never sew the light Of this
sphere. But he exclainas Eureka to IN imPa-
tient world.
The Professor proposes to build large
balloon, in four compartments, (nether more
nor less, and to the basket he will attach on
each side bowl-shaped wings-see the orig
inalty-bowl shaped wings which areto make
two kindred and fifty revolutions minute,
his aerial boat.
The professor does not name the motor he
proposes to use to gain the desired number of
turns of the wings. 1t may be steam, applied
to five horsepower engine, but knowing the
talents and the ingenuity Of Mr. Mcdonald,
we have no doubt that he will utilize for this
purpose the gas that naturally escapes from
the balloon, when the expansion, occasioned by
the decrease of atmospheric pressure as the
balloon ascends, takes place.
The philosopher has also invented an aerial
life preserver, it being number of small bal
looms, connected with the basket Should an
accident occur, all the traveller has to do is to
attach himself to one, and gently descend.
Mr.. Mcdonald proposes to organize stock
company, for the purpose Of putting his in
vention to practical USE The merchants of
New Orleans will readily understand the
peculiar advantages possessed by this stock
over all Others.
| We have mentioned the professor as poet,
and to show the style Of poet he is we submit
stanza, all that space will permit, Of one Of
his grandest poems.
| It reads as follows
THE MAGN1FICENr starry FLAG.
Grand magnificent starry flag of my country.
| How thy sight does my poor soul thrill,
| When trace the history of my country
In imagination away back to bunker Hil
| And see our noble torefathers battling for thee,
Grand, magnificent Starry Flag,
And stalking their lives, honor and all for lib
erty,
Under our grand. magnificent Starry Flag.

MEXICAN OUTRAGVS.

GALVESTON, Nov IA Ne,os special from
Brownsville, dated Nov. 18th, says The &C
count OF the raid on Los Almos causes some
excitement. This decides the question as to
the existence Of organized bands in Mexico to
invade Texas. Los Amos is about 100 miles
from the Rio Grande. 1t has three or four
stores, and good many inhabitants.
MIR. McGovern, Custom House Inspector, is
recently from Edinburgh, and says that q
party of the raiders were seen in Hidalgo
county about five days ago. They had bales
OF calico, ETC., on their horses. They crossed
the Rio Grande between Edinburgh and Ring.
gold Barracks, nearly q hundred miles below
Guerrero. They were from Matamoros and
other towns on the Lower Rio Grande, and
not from Guerrero
side.
More than two weeks since herder OF
Claya and Donache was captured by band Of
robbers.
They tied his hands behind him, his feet
under his horses belly, and turned the horse
loose. After grazing around for twelve hours
the horse went to the rancho and the poor
man was released.
The marauders collected cattle and drove
them into Mexico. This occurred about
twelve miles south of Brownsville.
Three days since four armed Mexicana
stopped United States soldier in the road
about thirty miles above here. They cues.
toned him and let him go. A detachment Of
mounted men was sent from the camp at Lot
Rucias to look for the Mexicans, but the
result is not known.
These events speak for themselves, thew
show whether the reported raids were fabrica,
tons, or well grounded meanings The party
which robbed Los Almos intended to have
gone to Corpus Christie if they had suffi-
Gent force. This was divulged by man who
overheard conversation in Matamoros. The
cloud OF border war is more lowering.

RAILROAD CONFERENCE.

BALTIMORE, Nov IA conference of
prominent railroad officials was held in this
city to-day. Among those present were Pres
ident Jno. w. Garrett and Vice President
King, of the Baltimore and Ohio CON- Van
derbilt and son, VIM. H. Vanderbilt, Presi-
dent, and Vice President of the New York
Central ; President Jewett and Vice President
Blanchard. of the Erie President Scott and
Vice President Cassal, of the Pennsylvania
Central President c. w. Chaplin, of the
Boston and Alabama, and General
Freight Agent ]. H. Rutter, of the
New York Central. A proposal to the Balti-
more and Ohio road to become party to the
Saratoga contract was declined, but that road,
in conjunction with the others, agreed to abol-
ish all commission on tickets and drawbacks
on freights. It was Indicated that the Balti-
more and Ohio would pursue, as heretofore, q
conservative policy regarding transportation
and cooperation with other lines in all legiti-
mate measures of economy.
1t was urged by the Baltimore and Ohio
management that the first step in the direc-
ton of complete reform was to abolish the
fast freight lines now in use on the Northern
Trunk Lines, viz: the Pennsylvania, Erie
and New York Central. 1t was claimed that
under this system Independent organizations
are enabled to clear large profits which, by
right. belong to railroad companies, and
which, if obtained by the latter, would enable
them to maintain always reasonable tariffs.
The officials of the trunk lines named, ex-
pressed themselves DESTROYS of the abolish
ment Of fast freight lines, but said the condi-
ton of affairs at present would not Justify it.

contemporary calls attention to the fact
that Bismarck's would-be assassin, Kullman,
gets off with light sentence when COM
pared with what the murderers and intended
murderers of royal and official personages Of
Europe used to receive. The torture of Ra-
villica, the fanatic who killed Henry " of
France, was frightful. The rack, boiling
pitch, melted lead and the boot were among
the preliminaries, and finally he was torn
asunder by horses drawing different ways A
century and a half later, Dalmiens, who
merely scrrtched Louis XIV, was subjected to
similar barbarities.
A bankrupt merchant who shot the Hon.
Spencer Perceval, Prime Minister of Great
Britain, little more than sixty years ago, was
hanged, though he was undoubtedly insane.
The English people had become more humane
or at least more discriminating by 1910, for
Oxford, who fred at Queen Victoria, was
spared the gallows, in view Of his unquestion-
able Madness but consigned to an asylum for
life Kullman has fourteen years Of imprison-
ment allotted to him, and is to be watched by
the police during the remainder of his life.
He is thought to be partly but not wholly in
sane. He certainly seems dangerous enough
to be kept under surveillance. Such facts in
dictate the real progress of humanity and intel
ligence which has been made.
At the Vienna Exposition, Russia exhibited
model Of one of the largest, if not the Lrg-
gest, anvil blocks ever cast in single piece
This prodigious fabrication, weighing 622 tons,
was destined for the large ffty-ton double-act-
ing steam hammer of the steel works at Perm,
and is of class of artificial specislties in art-
fetal castings which, more than anything else,
may be said to show the constant increase in
the dimensions and weights of manufactured
articles. The casting Of such a block is GER
family mechanical triumph. Nothing, in
deed, can be more exciting than the handling
OF large masses of molten iron-taking into
consideration the glowing temperature of the
liquid, the tremendous weight Of the mass
itself, and Of the apparatus necessary for NOV
ing 1t, the rapidity with which all operations
must be carried out to avoid the setting of the
material, and lastly, the loss in case of failure,
it being nearly impossible to make any pro-
ftable use Of such a vast block of metal. OIL
course great care has to be taken in preparing
the mould for such immense castings; and it
has been found the best plan to divide the
whole mould into several separate parts, which
can be thoroughly dried in drying stove, and
are only replaced in the mould pit the day be-
fore casting.
