A BALLOON VOYAGE TO THE NORTH
POLE.

An Englishman has lately been illustra-
ting his ideas Of q balloon voyage to the
North Pole in the London Graphic. His
plan opo three balloons substantially
connected together, capable of carrying six
men, besides three tons weight of gear,
boat cars, stores, provisions, tents, sledges,
dogs, compressed gas and ballast. The
triangular framework connecting the bal
looms would be fitted with ropes SO that the
occupants could go from one balloon to an
other in the same manner as sailors lie out
upon the yards Of a ship, and the balloons
would be e~quipoised by means of bags of
ballast suspended from this framework,
and hauled to the required position by
ropes. Trail ropes would be attached to
the balloons, SO as to prevent their ascent
above u certain height about 800 feet, at
which elevation they would be balanced in
the air, the spare n of the ropes trailing
over the ice. The boat cars would be
housed in for warmth, and telegraphic com
munication kept up with the ships by
means of a wire uncoiled from n large
wheel as the balloons moved onward. Thi,
wire, being marked at every five miles,
would also serve to keep a record of the
distance traversed. Commander Cheyne
proposes that the balloons should start
about the end Of May, on the curve of n
wind circle of known diameter, ascertained
approximately by meteorological observa.
tions conducted on board the vessel, and at
two observatories some thirty miles distant
in opposite directions. 1t is estimated that,
with a knowledge of the diameter of the
wind circle, and the known distance from
the pole, the balloons could be landed with
in at least twenty miles of the long-wished-
for goal. There the balloons would be
securely moored; and when the necessary
observation at the pole had been carried
out, a return wind would be secured for
their return, the requisite full initiation
having been made by means of the surplus
gas taken out in a compressed condition.
The returning voyagers would arrest their
course to the southwark on the parallel of
latitude on which they left their ship, and
the remainder of their journey, east or
west, would be performed by means of the
dogs and sledges conveyed in the balloons.

The preservation of fruit is a matter Of
much importance on a farm where fruit
raising is carried on to any extent. The
steadily increasing foreign demand for
American dried fruit, and the remunerative
prices obtained, must in time make this
branch of the farm one of much more con-
sideration than it now is. Some twenty
years ago Horace Greeley, in one of his
European letters, expressed the opinion that
''nicely prepared dried peaches would find
a ready sale in London if due pains were
taken to introduce the article to public
notice" Now there is a large and augment
ing demand for both dried peaches and
apples, and nearly every foreign steamer
leaving this port and New York in the fall
and winter, carries a supply for foreign
markets.-Geymdntopn Telegraph.

The American public is familiar with the

which they pay a fair price, in money, by the
inch, is devoted largely to their own busi-
ness. The order takes us somewhat by sur
prise, and 1t would reassure us II we were
disposed to doubt the wisdom OF pushing
business through the hardest times. We add
for the benefit OF the Thomases who may read
that Messrs. Geo. p, Roweli q Co. come near

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Crea.
ton Of Man, or since the Commence
ment Of the Christian Era.
There never has been,a time when the
healing of so many different diseases has
present. 1t is an undisputed fact that over
half of the entire population of the globe re-
sort to the use of ordinary plasters.
are acknowledged by all who have used
them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters will do more real service than a hum
dred of the ordinary kind. All other plas-
tiers are slow of action, and require to be
worn continually to effect a cure; but with
is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians In all ages have thoroughly
tested and well know the effect of Capsicum;
and II has always been more or less used as a
medical agent for an outward applications;
but IL is only of u very recent date that Its ad-
vantages in a porous plaster have been dis
wonderful cures effected by DIR. MELvIN's
CAPsIcUM Porous PLAsTERS and their supe-
riority over all other plasters, they now
actually prescribe them, In their practice, for
such diseases as rheumatism pain in the side
and back, and all such cases as have required
the use OF plasters or linlment. After you
have tried other plasters and liniments. and
they have failed, and you want a certain
cure, ask your druggist for DIR. MELvIN's
CAPsIcUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly
believe your own convictions OF its wonder
full effects. Although powerful and quick in
It's action, you can rely on its safety for the
most delicate person to wear, as 1t IS free
rom lead and other poisonous material COM
monty used in the manufacture of ordinary
p%lasters. One trial is n sufficient guarantee
OF Its merits, and one plaster will sell hum
dreds to your friends.

patty that is bestowed upon idiots and

expression of pity for the poor dis.
trscted country. No doubt the peo.
pie do the best that can be done for
their country. but from an American
stand -point.it is clothed in wretched-
ness and bathed in the blood of its
sons. From . Mexican standpoint,
the United States might appear in

is everyday life. Those considered
its friends to-day. are regarded as
enemies to morrow. 1t is as uncom-
mon for president of that woe-be.
fallen Republic to die a natural death
or serve his term out as it is otherwise
in this country. They have been for
yean trying to solve the the problems
of Republican government and are
to-day no nearer than when they BE-
gan. It is more of a despotic govern
ment than anything else. The coun-
try Was in better condition at the time
of the Spanish conquest than
at anytime since. The people then
made no pretentions 10 what We
call civilization, but in many respects
they were far ahead of the other por-
tons Of the western world. The pres
ident after serving q time, has either
to fee the country or die by the hands
of assassins. If he remains in hls na-
tive place it must be in seclusion an
intermeddling with politics of that be-
nighted country is punishable with
death and any one who sees fit can
constitute himself the executioner.
Santa Anna cravled home in his old
age, from his exile to die upon his pa
tive soil, and all who followed him did
not die a death they would have been
satisfied with. When Mexico was in
vaded by the French, Gen. Escobedo
fought the invaders and put to death
the usurper whosought to subjugate his
country. Now Escobedo is sentenced
to be shot, and that will be his fate.
What can be done for the wretched
country? The United States viii ul-
timately interfere. but our nation has
enough to attend to at home. No for
eign nation shall interpose in behalf Of
Mexico, because that would raise an
objection on the part of this country.
No foreign nation must be allow
ed to get a foothold upon that
Republic or the western CONT
nent more than is already held.
because that would be a menace to
the United States. There is ore
thing that should be done, and that is.
the raids by both Texaus and Mexi-
cans across the line should be stopped,
and q sufficient force should be kept
on the border to enforce the laws of
both nations. As long rs Texans raid
Mexico, the Mexicans will raid Texas.
1t Is Is long as it is broad and one is
as much to blame as the other. Let
the strife aid contention be confined
within the borders of that country and
let it work out its own salvation. We
have nothing to do with it as long as
it does not complicate American at:
fairs. In the meantime "Poor Mexi.

William H. Stout went from Texas
to Illinois with companion. who was
soon afterward murdered. Stout was
accused of the crime. and his defence
was an alibi-that he was in Nebraska
at the time of the murder. A tavern
keeper near the place of the killing.
however, testified positively that the
two men slept in his house together.
Stout was convicted and sentenced to
death but the punishment was altered
to imprisonment for life. Now, after
. lapse of four years, an account book
belonging to the tavern keeper comes
to light in which is an entry showing
that the date of Stoutis lodging was q
month earlier than was supposed.
There is other proof of his innocence
and be has been pardoned.
