Is Donaldson. the Ballconist.

Really dead? Such is the question
under debate among those coga.-
zant of the Professors t.ue charac-
ter and selfish ioclioaaions, ard it is
but just to affirm tkat lasge ma
jority of persons, knowing the man,
give it to be their deliberate opicion
that, although the body of tle IN
fortunate reporte., his companion
on his presumpsively fatal voyage,
was fou ID and identified, ard his
notebook, abruptly closed, discov-
cred on the corpse, Donaldson HIM
selfis still alive and dwelling in OBJ
security beneath an assumed name.
Il will be remembered that Barnum
invented as an attraction to his show
a marriage in mid-air with the bal
loon, carrying the bridal party, be-
meath Dooaldson's management. On
that occasion the number of aerial
voyagers seriously incommoded the
aeroraut, who, in anticipation of
disaste-., seriously informed ttem
that in the event OF danger 10 his
own life he would be compelled 10
toss them one by one out of the bas-
kes rather than have all perish. Now,
neither has the corpse of Donaldson
nor the faintest vestage of his ba'-
loon been discovered, and it is i'm
possible that all traces should have
perished, when the body of the
jou :nalist was found in good presec-
va;:on so sho 'tly after the disaster.

Siltinq Bull.

A correspondent Of the st. Paul
(Mjnn. Pioaeer thus knocks the ro-
nance out of Sitting Bull: "Much
has been written and published in
regard to Sitting Bull by parties
who are certaioly totally ignorant of
what they write, as we'll as the geo.
6 Apply Of the country which they
try to describe. Day before yester-
day, I met man in this city who
has been among the Sioux Indians
off and on for ihe last thirsy years,
and who speaks their language as
fuently as his own. He has known
Sitting Bull ever since he went on
his first war path. He says he is
full -blooded Indian, and the illegit-
innate offspring of an Uncpapa squaw.
His name in Sionx is Lame Bull,
owing to a permanent lameness in
his right leg. He gees dressed as
plainly and dirty as any Indian of
low degree; he has po werful appe-
tite for whisky, and will get drunk
whenever an opportunity offers.
His right bower is a young Assina-
boine Indian, who has been brought
up and lived with him for long
time. The idea that he has depot
of ammunition on the Canada bor-
der is simply folly, for it is at least
400 miles from his base of opera
tions. That he has plenty of am
mun,tion and arms, there is no
doubi, but he has been collecting
the same for the last four years, and
has not been obliged to so out of

DoNGoLA, Aug. 25.-The members of
the Lutheran church gave festival last
night at Mrs. Peeler's store-house. which
was quite an enjoyable affair, besides net
ting the church about $40.
We were enlivened by runaway early
this morning. A team OF horses belong
ing to Mr.. Isaac Wise. living east OF
here, started from in front of Sentry &
Benton's store, towards the railroad
crossing. Just before reaching the track
the wagon struck post, overturning it
and throwing Mr.. Wise some distance.
After crossing the track the team became
disengagcd from the wagon and started
for home. Luckily, Mr.. Wise was not
hurt, although it was very narrow es-
cape.
Our merchants do not seem to have
much regard for hard times, as they are
all laying in large stocks of goods for the
fall trade.
We hear the doctors claiming it to be
unusually healthy, and say they have
nothing to do, for which we do not sup
pose the people will cry very much.
Dongola needs good bakery and con-
dictionary. A man that understands his
business could do well here. ~. e
Quite number OF farmers are hauling
their chickens, eggs, etc., to Cairo. as
they think they get a better price there
than here.
Our citizens seem to take very little
interest in politics, as there seems to be
very little said on either side. MEMO.
