The Missing Aeronauts.

ST. LOUIS, October 3.-The convic-
tien now is that Prof. Wise and Geo.
Burr, who sailed away from the Lin
dell Park last Sunday afternoon, have
perished. A telegram received from
Louisiana, Mo-, to-day, the home of
Prof. Wise, states that not word has
been heard from the professor. Tele-
grams have been sent in every direc-
ton requesting that notice be sent to
this city of the discovery Of any trace
of the missing balloon. 1t having been
asserted that the balloon which Prof.
Wise and Mr.. Burr left here in was
old, unsound and perhaps rotten, and
that in consequence it is likely some
serious mishap may have occurred to
the aeronauts, Jas. L. Downey, SON
in-law of Mr.. Wise, who resides at
Louisiana, Mo-, the home of the pro-
fessor, publishes a card here denying
these assertions, and stating that the
Pathfinder was an entirely new bal
loon, had never been used before, and
was one of the best ever made. MIR.
Downey advances no theory as to what
has become of the voyagers, but says
if they were lost it was not because
the balloon was old or rotten, or the
netting weak, nor because there was
not enough gas in the globe.

GOLD COIN

The gold bullion and French coin
recently arrived and under way for
this country is to be coined for use as
speedily as possible. The announce
ment is made that in recoining the
foreign gold now being imported,
which is to take place at the Philadel-
phia mint, the coinage will be in eagles
and half eagles, and that nothing less
than IS will be turned out, as to dc
so might interfere with the standard
silver dollars, of which the treasury
desires to get as large a number as pos
sible into circulation. In addition, il
is also announced that the treasury o.
the United States and the severa
assistant treasurers have been directed
to pay out gold and silver coin freely
upon all government obligations pre-
sented for payment and payable a
their respective offices. The govern
ment is now engaged in disbursint
some IS, 100000 in interest on its pub
lie debt.

come to the Germans what the Fourth

observance has been growing more
general every year, and has become a

a
swered by proposals to furnish II for so
much per barrel or bushel; bids for street
filling are at so much per cubic yard; for
building sidewalks, so much per foot; for
nails so much per key, etc. A call for
bids to supply all the nails, lime or lumber
the city might want for year,
would either call out no bids
at all, or bid that would be
based upon the consumption Of such arti-
Giles during previous years with tremend-
Gus margin to cover contingencies. But
the city compels nobody but the printers
to bid in the dark. Merchants are allowed
to fix price on their nails by the keg, and
the city supplies its needs by the key; the
lumber dealers supply lumber by the thou
sand feet, and are paid for every foot they
furnish, and the same rule governs in the
purchase OF all the city's supplies, whether
the purchases are effected under contract or
otherwise. But the printer is an exception
to this rule. He is require to name, in adj.
vance, the compensation he is to receive for
all the services tie city may require of
him; and, naming that sum, the
city is in no way restricted; but
may, as it frequently has done,
require Il republication OF the
entire code of city ordinances
Under such a rule the advantages are all
on the side Of the city and why the printer
alone should be held TO it, is problem that
admits Of no satisfactory explanation, The
printer, being laborer, is as much entitled
to his hire, as anybody else who serves the
city, He should he paid for the work he
performs. whether the work be much or
little.

Fnmns in Missouri,

The Legislature of Missouri at its last
session created State Board of Immigra-
ton, with an appropriation sufficient to
carry out its purposes. The Board have no
lands for sale, nor are they interested in
any. The object of the Organization is to
encourage emigration 10 their State by the
free distribution of maps, pamphlets, ETC.,
descriptive of the several counties, and
give the home-seeker correct information
as to the best localities for his particular
wants, and otherwise assist him in selecting
a desirable location. The general Govern.
ment has over 100000 acres in Missouri
subject to pre-emption, and some OF it is
excellent agricultural land. Surely there
is no need of going to the frontiers fol
homes when they can be had in the midst
of good markets, schools, churches and or,
ganized society. At all events we suggest
that those contemplating change would
do we'll to investigate the inducements and
advantages offered by Missouri. Thos. b.
Wilson, an old resident of Missouri, has
been appointed general agent of the Board,
and has opened an Office at No. 3 Burnet
House, this city, where he will cheerfully
give the information required.
