Balloon Bursts nj the Height Of 4, 900
Fcci-.-Thc AerOnnut Not Killed.
Melbourne, (Auftrallnl Afgns.

One OF the most extraordinary
escapes from sudden death ever re.
corded occurred on Easter Monday 10
an aeronaut named LEstrangc. In the
presence Of thousands Of spectators he
made mi ascent from the agricultural
grounds, on the st. kilda road, In the
balloon Aurora, the same, il ia said,
which was used to convey dispatches
during the Franco Prussian war.
When the balloon had attained the
great altitude Of mile and three.
quarters it suddenly collapsed, the gas
bursting through it, side; but the
parachute came into play, and, instead
OF the wreck falling like stone, il
cane down IN u llz-zag course, and
finally struck Il tree in tile government
domain. thus breaking the fall, and
L'Eetrange reached the ground half
stunned, but alive. the excitement
when The balloon came down was
intense. Women screamed and faint
cd, some fell on their knees with their
hands clasped in prayer, while
hundreds Of men rushed into the gov.
eminent domain expecting to find
mangled body, but to their astonish-
mcnl they discovered L'Estrango alive
and almost unhurt. The escape was
certainly one OF the most marvellous on
record. The balloon used was an old
one, and L'Essrangc patched up some
rents in the morning; but the direct
cauae Of the catastrophe was the mex
perience Of the aeronaut, who did not
allow for the great expansion of gas
consequent upon his rapid ascent.
LEstrange il good deal bruised, and
be has sprained his right arm, but he is
in high spirits, and talks Of making an.
other ascent II he can patch up the
Aurora or obtain substitute.

The Buddhist Priesthood.
Cornhill Magazine.

The ranks of the Buddhist priesthood
in China are generally recruited by chill.

from kidnappers. 1t is only in times Of
great distress that the poorer Chinese
will sell even their daughters, still less
the valued son on whom may possibly

ping, however, is by no means an I'm.
common crime, albeit the punishment
on detection is speedy and ignomini-
Gus death. Occasionally parents dedi-
cate a child TO Buddha, perhaps in full
fillment Of VOW. and the victim is
there and then formally made over TO

President Hayes Discusses the Marshals
Bill.

President Hayes sent the following
message to congress June 30th;
10 the Senate and House Of Repre&n
tdtirtS-The bill making appropriation
for the payment of fees of the United
States marshals and their general depu-
ties which have this day returned 10
the house Of Representatives, i'll which
1t originated, with my objections, hay
ing, on its reconsideration by that
body, failed to become law, | respect
fully call your attention to the imme-
date necessity of making some AIDE
ouate provision for the due and eih-
cient execution by marshals and deputy
marshals Of the United States, Of the
constant and important duties enjoined
upon them by existing laws. All APP
preparations to provide for the perform.
ance of these indispensable duties, ex-
pire to-day. Under the laws prohibit
ing public officers from involving the
government i'll contracting liabilities
beyond the actual appropriation, it is
apparent that the means at the dispo-
sal of the executive depart
ment for executing the laws
through regular ministerial otll-
GERS will after to-day be left in
adequate. The suspension of the nee
essary functions in the ordinary admin
istration ofthe first duties of the govern
ment for the shortest period is incon-
siStent with the public interest and at
any moment may prove inconsistent
with the public safety. II is impos-
sibe for me to look without grave con-
Germ ON the state of things which leaves
the public service thus unprovided for
and the public interest thus I'M
protected and earnestly urge on your
attention the necessity of making i'm
mediate appropriations for the main
tenance of the service of marshals and
deputy marshals for the fiscal yeal
which commences tomorrow.

Strange Story of the Highways and BY
ways Of Washington.
Boston Herald.

Mr.. Black, who wrote SO entertaining
novel ON "The Strange Adventures OF
n PLaeton," should be here to tell, in
citing style, of the romance in which a
similar vehicle figured few weeks ago.
A senator, who shall be nameleSs, was
taking drive with the fair lady whom
he delights to honor with his prefer
ence. They found the road somewhat
dusty, perhaps, or the heat oppressive;
at any rate, the inviting shadows Of a
well-known forest enticed them to seek
bank whereof they knew, and spring
of purest water. When he had helped
the lady out of the phaeton, the sena-
tor tied the horse, as he thought, Sc
curely to tree, and they entered the
wood. The NOISY bank and the Sc
Guided spring, and their discourse,
which might appropriately be put I'M
der the head of "SIndry Civil blll'' Ting
and cooing), proved 50 alluring that
they forgot how the hours fled. Mean
time the steel grew FESTIVE, and, al
last, broke away and ran back to town,
smashing the vehicle as he dashed
along. The couple, when they emery
ed from their sylvan retreat, we're dis
mayed at the situation, as walk back
to town would have been an excessive
tax even on their powers. After som e
search ii the neighborhood the sena-
tor found another conveyance, and
finally brought his companion TO her
residence in the city.

4 Perpetual Rainbow.
Niagara Falls Letter.

The managers of Prospect Park have
contracted with the Telegraph Supply
company for the apparatus for gener-
ating electricity to supply seventeen
lamps. The electricity will be gener-
attd by water power. The lamps will
be so disposed as not only to light the
park and the main street of the village,
but it is hoped to produce some fine
effects upon the waterfall. For this
purpose it is believed that one lamp
may be kept burning under the Ameri-
can fall. 1t is known to every visitor at
the fall that on clear and still nights,
when the moon is nearly at its full, a
beautiful lunar bow is formed AS
this can only be seen at rare intervals,
however comparatively few people have
seen it. 1t is believed that by the use
OF the electric lamps, each Of which is
300 candle power, and which may be
moved and adjusted rs the wind may
make it necessary, the rainbow colors
may be always produced iii the form
of very brilliant bow. Some expert
ments made here with the calcium
light, three years ago, satisfied the
managers that their plan is practicable.
They expect to have il in full operation
on or before July 4.

WHAT KILLED THE CoNFEDER-
ACY,

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: A distinguished ex-
Confederate, now leading member of
Congress, and who was warm personal
friend of Jefferson Davis, takes point
blank issue with some of the statements
ascribed to Mr.. Toonbs in recentinter-
view of correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Times with that gentleman. This
gentleman says so far from Mr.. Davis nev.
or appreciating the gravity of the conflict
between the North and the South, he
comprehended its full significance from
the very beginning; that Mr.. Davis fire..
quentIy said the mere winning Of victo-
ries in battle by the Southern troops
could have no appreciable affect in i'm
proving the fortunes of the South; that
the gaining of battle was simply a re-
pulse, and that the South, to make an
impression that would tell, must either
destroy or capture entire some of the
great armies of the North. For instance,
if McClellan's army had been captured
or destroyed in the battles of the Penin-
sula, it would have secured the recogni-
tion of the Southern Confederacy by both
England and France, and most probably
by Russia also. In regard to Mr.. Toombs'
assertion that theConfederacy was skilled
by West Point" the ex Confederate says
it is quite true that at the beginning of
the war the West Pointers in the Con-
federacy placed little confidence in the
efficiency of the volunteers, but after two
or three battles the most distinguished of
the West Pointers in the service Of the
Confederacy changed their opinions. and
avarred that their volunteer troops fought
with as matchless valor as it was possible
for regulars to do.
