PATHFINDER FOUND,
But the Fate of Her Passengers
Wrapped in Mystery.
Aerial Wanderings of the Great
Air Ship.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.--There is no longer an
existing doubt that the balloon discovered
on the shore of Lake Michigan, fifty miles
north of Milwaukee, last Saturday, was the
Pathfinder, in which Prof. Wise and George
Burr ascended from Lindell Park, this city,
on the 2Sth of last September.
AT some period during the night it must
have descended, and the netting, which
was already damaged and broken by col
lisiOn with tree tops in Lindell Park, gave
way in part so as to cause the car to careen
and drop the occupants into the water. The
balloon, relieved of its burden, then rose to
a great altitude, and was sighted at day
break near Spring Lake, Michigan.
A short distance from Grand Haven it
became entangled in the lake is othermal
currents of air and was blown about until
the Sd of October, when it passed over
Pontiac, Mich, at great height. By the
agency of a field-glass the Marshal of that
city was enabled to make out that it was a
balloon, with the basket broken and hang
ing by one side of the netting only.
The ascension was made at o'clock in
the afternoon, and the air ship took north
easterly course and was soon lost in distance.
An hour later it passed over Alton, ILL.,,
and after traversing that State passed into
Indiana and was sighted going over Milers
Station, on the Lake Shore, five hours later.
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the 10th
instant the balloon was again discovered at
Dubuque Iowa. Hence it hoated about at
the mercy OF the air currents until it fell
where found.
These theories are entertained by the
majority of the scientific men of this city,
and especially by Sergeant John c. Chap
man, who has made q lifelong study Of
aeronautics. Prof. Wise and Geo. Burr
undoubtedly found death in the waters OF
Lake Michigan, and the discovery of their
remains is but a small matter of time.
NOT THAT BALLOON, AFTER ALL.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct. 1873 P. MA spe-
cial from Milwaukee just received, says
that the balloon found near that city last
Friday, was one sent up by Prof. Clark at
Waukesha, but not Prof Wise's.

twice without being allowed any chance to

then said to the Utes that it was bad
enough to kill men. and that women and
children should not be injured, so he res

Going Counting.

One of the chief compensatlons OF a Wo-
mans life is found I'D the fact that she
doesn't have to ''go a counting. 1t must
be confessed that in these days the modern
belle does her share Of the wooing; but she
does not have to dress up in a stiff collar
and a pair of boots a size too small tor her,
and walk up to the lannon's mouth OF her
inamorata' family, a maiden aunt and per
haps a dozen brothers and sisters, and IN
quire, in a trembling voice:
rs Miss Arabella at home"
Whenever a man goes a counting every
body seems to know all about it. Ills de-
meanor tells the observant spectator the
business he is intent upon. He might as
well placard himself. Pm going a court
ing Everybody is cognizant of it, and looks
knowingly and asks him if the Northern
lights were bright last night about one
O'Clock" and ''how the market is for kero-
sene up at Dady Browns" and a score OF
other questions out OF place.
We know a young man who is deeply, and
we trust successfully engaged in going
counting, and our warmest syn pathies have
been extended towards him. When Sunday
afternoon arrives it is plain that something
is about to happen. He is fdgety and non
communicative. and cannot sit in one place
half a minute at a time. He is continually
interviewing his watch, and comparing it
with the old eight day coffin-shaped clock
IN the corner. He looks in the glass fire.
q%uently, and draws his forehead locks back
and then forward, and combs them up and
pats them down, and is unsatisfied with the
effect throughout.
The smell of bay rum and bergamot is
painfully apparent. When he shakes his
handkerchief musk is perceptible. His
boots shine like mirrors, and there is
. faint smell of cardamon seeds in
his breath when he yawns. He smooths his
budding moustache with afectionate pats,
and feels invisible side whiskers continually
to make sure they are there, a fact which is
not established to outside observers by sense
of sight. He tries on all his neckties with
out finding just the thing he wants.
Then he has spasms of brushing his coat,
that commences with violence and lasts I'M
til one grows nervous for fear the broadcloth
will not be able to stand the friction.
He declines soup that day for dinner. He
says it is because he is not hungry, but we
know it is because there are onions in it,
and onions, as everyone knows, do not
sweeten ones breath to any great extent.
If spoken to suddenly he starts and
bushes and looks as guilty as if he was
stealing something, and directly if one does
not speak to him he goes back to the de-
hghtful occupation Of staring at nothing and
waiting for the hour hand to creep around
to seven.
