COLLAPSE OF 4 BALLOON IN NIL
AIR.

Il was noticed by those who watched
the course of the three ballons in their
departure yesterday afternoon from Pro-
montory Rock that the basket in which
Miss Lizzie Ihling WAS an occupant, was
oscillating from side to side, and many
booked with great concern lest an acci-
dent should befall the female who had
made her first lone ascension. Their
tears were more than confirmed by the
sudden collapse of the balloon and the
rapid descent of The basket. A reporter
of the Times Immediately proceeded to
the scene of the catastrophe and heard
from Miss lhling her story of the acci-
dent. She had risen to a height of about
fye thousand feet, and WAS SO impressed
with the beautiful sigh disclosed TO
view as she glanced at the Park and
trrned her eyes toward the city, that she
began taking notes and writing down
her impressions, when the motion of
the balloon changed. Before everything
was perfectly quiet aud the air ship
Goated along without any perceptible
jar. Now the balloon steered around
from its course and appeared to be
trying to go In two different direc-
tons. She says; II had maintained my
presence Of mind up to this time, and
not knowing how to account for this
strange event, I dropped notebook and
pencil and clasped the sides of the bask-
ct. As swayed from side 10 side, I felt
a giddy sensation, thinking the best
course to Dursue was Ito keep quiet. /

BISHOP BO URGE7T'S VIEW IN THE
.r.a GULBORD CASE.

MONTREAL, Sept. 9.-GuiborRs re-
mains were guarded at the Protestant
cemetery last night, but nothing unusual
occurred. Bishop Bourgett, Of this do
cese, has written letter to the daily pa
pers, in which he saysthat had Guibord's
body been buried in the cemetery in de-
fance of the laws Of the church, the
place where il lay should be immediate
ly interdicted and looked upon hence
forth as cursed spot, to be held in exc
Grafton. If fresh efforts be made to in
troduce the body into consecrated pre-
cinCts, herequests all Catholics to remain
quiet like true children of the church
and loyal subjects of Her Majesty, the
Queen: He invites every one to sign pc
titions to the Queen begging Her Maj
esty to enjoin that the rights possessed
by the Catholics of this city are not to be
denied, and that they are not to be mo-
Tested in the exercise Of their holy faith,
butare to be respected by all those whom
Providence has called to spare royal au-
thority,

"A CHALLENGE.
tyrom the Cleveland Sunday Times.)


4l Mr.. Trevelick having publicly chal-
lenped any person In Cleveland to dis
cuss the. financial question with him, and
no one having accepted his offer, hereby
issue challenge as follows:
If. Twill forfeit o nominal sum to any be.
neyolent institution named by my Oppo'
nent, If, according to the decision of the
audience, / should be defeated, while in
case of the decision being against him,
he shall forfeit the same amount, 70 be
disposed of in similar manner by me.
The points that | shall attempt to prove
are; 'i" ..1 t-
/. That the national banking system
takes more money from the people and
the Government unnecessarily in one
year than the Salary Grab, Sanborn Con
tracts, Credit Mobilier and Pacific Mail
Steamship Company swindles combined.
2. That any debtor nation that bases
its money--its circulating medium, on
coin, thereby places itself commercially,
financially and productivity at the mercy
of it's foreign creditors, and ours is
debtor nation. .oF
3. That paper money redeemaDle III
specie and based on less than fifty per
cent of coin is as unsafe and unreliable
as q pyramid placed on its apex. '1.,
H. That national money issued direct
ly to the people without the intervention
Of any system of banking corporations
and interchangeable with Government
bonds, is the most safe and reliable cir
culating medium that can be devised.
/ desire it distinctly understood that
this challenge is not issued in a spirit Of
bravado, or for the sake Of obtaining q
little cheap notoriety, but because be-
lieve such discussion will lead to an
agitation of the subject that will even
tually cause the right to win.
The challenge is open to anybody that
will take the negative in all questions.
Now let those who are continually
throwing mud and misrepresenting the
views of financial reformers speak out.

AS at the elections of last fall, when
under the name of Democracy the people
swept away with the power Of q whirl-

CRUEL.

Says an exchange: "Grant could make
an immense point for himse' and do a
good deal for his party by going for the
Indian Ring, as Governor Tilden in New
York has done for the canal ring" It Is
cruel in people 10 keep on talking in this
way about the President. They know he
has brother, 0rville, and that be cart
toseh the Indian ring without plnlder-
ing that brother 0rville. The man who
would plumber his own brother merely
to break up an Indian ring hss no bowels
Of csmpassion-not 3 single bowel-and
should be summed by all good men as
they would shun pestilence and famine.
When Brother 0ryille feels he can retire
with six or eight or ten millions in clean
cash, it will be time to TildeniDe the In
dian ring. To ask the President to do
so before then is TO ask him 10 pick the
pocket of member of his own family.

The Democratic Council of the city Of
New Orleans have passed resolution
stating the inability of the city to meet

been ruled by csrpet-baggers and Radi-

THE LAND OF MY BIR TIL.

And earth again mingle with earth.

Az well as In that of my birth.
Yes. these are my feelings at parting,
But absence soon alteTd their tonei
The cold hand of sickness came DER me
And weep DER my sorrow alone.
No friend came near me, to cheer me.
No parent to soften my grief,
Nor brother, nor sister were near me,
And strangers could give no relief
'Tis true that 1t matters but little,
Tho living, the thought makes one pine
WhAteer befalls the poor relic,
When the spirit has flown from It's shrine
And earth ;aln mingles with earth,

To rest in the land of my birth.
