We have probably seen the last Of Donald
son, the daring @ronaut. On Thursday week
he made an ascension from Barnum's Hippo
drome, then in Chicago, taking with him
young man named Grimwood, reporter for
one of the Chicago papers. The balloon was
carried over Lake Michigan, and when about
halfway across a violent storm came up.
Since that time the balloon and its passengers
have not been seen or heard Of. Some relics
supposed to have belonged to them were fonnd
mors of wrecked balloon noticed by vessels
on the way to Chicago. The only certain
thing Is that no information Of their landing
has been received, and the accepted opinion
is that they were lost in the lake. Donaldson
was a native of Philadelphia, and began bis
career in balooning about ten years ago. He
has always been remarkable for his daring
and success.

CAUTION TO PENSIONERS. Tho country IL
now being flooded with circulars Of claim
agents, addressed to pensioners, suggesting to
all Of them that by applying to such agents
they may obtain an increase Of pension. The
fact is that Congress did not, at its last ses-
sion, give any increase to any class of pen
sioners. Invalid pensioners, viz. men who
are now pensioned for wounds and disabilities,
can, as they always could. get an increase il
their physical disabilities have increased. The
process to obtain such increase is very simple,
and any pensioner may adoptit without any
expense. Let him write to the Commissioner
of Pensions and ask to be furnished with a
blank application for the increase of an m
Wild pension Upon its receipt he will exc
cute it according to it's form and directions,
and then return it to the Commissioner. That
officer will direct him to be examined by \
surgeon, and that will end his labor in the
matter. The employment Of person to aid
him will not only be wholly useless but win
subject him to the payment of a fee from
which he will derive no benefit. The execu-
ton of the application for an increase is so
simple that no aid Is required in doing it.

New jersey takes care of the names and
history of her soldiers. No Jerseyman who
has been in the service ofthe country, whether
living or dead, but what can be accounted for
at the Adjutant Generals Office. His name,
nature ofthe service rendered IF killed, when,
where, and in what manner; if living, when
and how discharged. In short the name of
every man who did service to the country,
whether in the Revolution, War of 1912, war
with Mexico, or the late Rebellion, is recorded
in the archives of the State. This is certainly
highly comrnendebip, and retirvts grvut cresttr
on the officials Of the State. The time was
when the names only of officers who were
killed or wounded in the naval or military
service of the country were noticed.-Gazstte.
