Facts AbOu. Editors
Morrilton (Ark.) state.

Morrilton (Ark.) state.
When you write TO an editor, send a
three-cent stamp. 1t will be a great
curiosity to him.
Editors are slippery fellows. They
have an unrivaled facility of slipping
out Of the back door just after publica-
ton days.
An editors yeracity will do to gam
BILE on. He never lies except for con-
sideration, or in plain discharge of his
duties.
Never ask an editor to drink unless
you have sood credit or an extra dime.
You might cause him painful disap-
pointment.
When an editors hair scales off and
the top of his head begins TO look like
the skin side of COW hide, attribute
it to wisdom-not wife.
An editor never steals. He always
gives full credit, and he don't write
"EX." after an article. There are a
number of brainless scalawags in the
profession who pass for reporters and
who steal, but they don't have the
pure ring. m
When you shake hands with an
editor don't squeeze his fingers too
hard, for they may be covered with
valuable diamond rings.
When you owe an editor dollar,
don't pay him, for the shock might be
too great for his nervous system.
When you visit an Office mix the
editor's exchanges he has plenty Of
time to straighten them. Steal them
If you want to; he will not need them.
Besides, it is fashionable.
If Won are a mean man don't men-
ton the name of an advertising agent
to an editor, for il will thrill his soul
with delight and make him smile.
and when an editor smiles the bark
peels off and the weather turns blue.

AN AERONAUTs FALL.
He Drops Like Lead From u u 'tght
OF one lIundr ed and Fifty Feet.

BOSTON, September 6.-The balloon
ascension at the Point of Pines yester-
day afternoon had thrilling culmina-
| ton. Professor q. a Rogers was the
aeronant and the air ship, known as
the soak Hall,n had capacity of
"a 900 cubic feet. Rogers went up
quickly to the height of 1000 feet.
The current took the balloon in the
direction of Nahant and when over
Long Beach the professor began pre-
parations for descent. The grapple
was thrown out and the balloon de-
seended, the basket Oscil ating violent
ly us the grapple caught from point to
point, causing the professor to sit
firmly bracpd In the bottom of the car,
with his feet firmly planted against
the side. When at an altitude of six
or seven hundred feet the huge bag
suddenly began to rip from the top,
the rent rapidly extending down the
side, emitting the gas in large
volumes. The speed of the descent
was in consequence greatly accelerated
and when at height of about one
hundred and fifty feet the balloon,
lead, striking on the edge of the beach
WIN bcTflHC loIct. Jusb picfiouS W
its fall the grapple caught upon one of
the posts of the telephone company,
and, winding arourd it, held on.
This caused the basket to strike OH its
side. When landed Rogers body was,
as it were, shut dose together, being
jammed against his legs. Frank w.
Breed was fortunately diving upon
the beach at the time, close by the
spot where the car struck and was
quickly at hand. Professor Rogers
was found to be perfectly conscious
when reached, though apparently
seriously hurt. He was placed in Mr..
Breeds carriage and driven rapidly to
the Lynn City Hall, where he was
placed upon stretcher and mattress
and made AS comfortable rs possible.
DIR. Pinkman, who was called, made
an examination and could find no evil
dence of any serious fracture or of
serious internal injuries. The back
was apparently not materially in
jured, as the professor moved all of his
limbs with apparent ease, though mt
times he suffered intense pain. He
conversed fluently and gave clear ac-
count OF his trip and the causes Of the
accident. To-day his condition il
thought to be critical.

The Mnn with the Umbrella.



Why is it that the public do not look
kindly upon man carrying an UNI
brella in hot day is mystery yet
to be solved, but the fact is they dc
not, and that not one man in a hun
dred has the moral courage to carry
one. Yesterday, when an eminent
and dignified citizen coming back from
his dinner turned into Griswold street
was accosted with:
"Been raining down your way ?"
mo, sir"
"Then you carry the umbrella t.
keep the flies off?n
"Yes, SIR"
"Well, that's good plan, and al
loft men ought to pracice it,"
The next man had grin on bis
face as he called out, What's that
for ?r
"ro keep the sun off"
"What do you want to keep the sun
off for ?"
"Might get sunstruck."
"Suppose you did ?"
Suppose you mind your business,
sir.n
The next one presumed upon his
long friendship TO halt the man with
the umbrella, and whisper, " Pretty
sharp in you, old fellow : keep the
bulge to your creditors and they can't
see you ~
Other men told him that wearing n
ponltice on the head would dispense
with the umbrella, and others said If
he was afraid of his ears being tanned
he should fasten a fan on each side Of
his hat. Not one single man took him
by the hand and encouraged him, and
when he reached the post Office he
was so discouraged that he lowered
the shade and used it TO punch the
ribs of boy who had begun to sing !:
" He's \ fiat hes feller,
And he lugs an old umbrella"

THE Summit Times thus speaks OF


the discussion at Magnolia:
Mr.. Yellowly even condescended to
make personal charges against our
most irreproachable Governor, for
which Mr.. Myers instantly demanded
his authority, and which were most
eloquently and feelingly controverted
by Col. Shands in his reply. Col.
Shands on being introduced by Cap
tain Burke, stated that he had only
thirty minutes in which to speak, and
he would of necessity be compelled to
an almost lightning enunciation. and
truly 1t did come up bubbling fiom his
indignant and spirited soul, like the
burning lava when it overfiows the
volcanoes side, and we never saw an
audience more completely absorbed
than those present. Col. Stands is a
finished and impassioned speaker,
with all the personal magnetism to at
tract an audience and fix their atten-
ton. The few moments he had at his
disposal were well employed, and
every statement made by Mr.. Yellow
ly derogatory to the personnel of the
Democratic party, and in praise of his
own idols, was, in a few cleaning,
piercing flashes of truth, Sustained,
by public records, demolished, and
utterly annihilated. "Truth is mighty
and will PREVAIL - as was plainly to be
read In the countenances of the ne
groes present on the occasion. Their
enthusiasm was all gone, and they left
the courthouse with an air Of the sad
dest disappointment. They could not
but see that Mr.. Yellowly's remarks
were only intended TO infiame their
worst prejudices, and involve them in
political trouble with their best friends
for the benefit Of a few political aspir-
ants like himself.

Another Train Robbery.

ST. LOUIS, September pa New
port Arkansas special to the Post says
" The passenger train on the Irou
Mountain Railroad was robbed last
night by five masked men, who halt
ed and boarded the train, forced the
express messenger to open the safe
and then proceeded to rob the passepr
gers. They obtained SlS,000 from the
safe. 1t is claimed that the total loss
will not fall short of between $4,000
and S50,00O. A cotton dealer named
l.. ID. Atkinson lost =, 500. The rob
bers are said to be mere boys, and ii
is believed they will shortly be captur-
ell Gov. Churchill will doubtless offer
a reward of $500, and the railroad
company as much more for their cap
ture.n

CAPT. p. c. HALL, an intelligent col
ored man, made q speech in Vicksburg
recently, i'm which he said;
"The convention should remember
that there is a vast difference between
the Republican party of the North and
the Republican party of the south
that their party In the North has the
brains, intelligence and wealth, while
In the South it can only boast Of num-
bers and lacks both Intelligence and
money that the Democratic party of
the South, like the Republican party
Of the North, possesses the wealth and
intelligence and for this reason, if for
no other, they are entitled to a re-
spectful consideration at Republican
hands. He alluded to the great chief
tain Of the North, Conkling, and his
speech In the Academy OF Music In
New York, when he said: Our CO.

mercial, agricultural and industrial
interests OF oar country should be

A Prize Essay.
RocuEsrER. n. Y. Semi. 5. ;,

RocHEsTER, n. Y, Sept. 5, 81.
To The Public.--In January last /
offered prize of 5000 in gold for each
discovery, during the year, in the
United States and Canada, of tele-
scopic, unexpected comet. DIR. Lewis
Swift, director of the Warder Ohser-
vatory, discovered Comet A, May lst,
aud Prof. Schaeberle, of Ann Arbor,
Mich. Observatory, Comet G, July II,
each thus winning the prize. Comet
b., or the Great Comet, burst suddenly
on the sight in this country in June,
thought il was first seen in South
Africa May 2lst, and its appearance
was predicted near Beta AuriqG for
June 23d last, this prediction of being
exactly fulfilled. Comet B was neither
telescopic nor unexpected, and yet
was axnious, could the first discoverer
be found, to make a special award of
500. Nearly 5000 letters claiming
priority have been received and ex-
amined, but Director Swift reports
that no conclusion can be reached that
would be scientific and satisfactory.
This was disappointment to myself
and the claimants, but in order to en-
courage, so far as possible, popular
astronomical study, beg to announce
prize of $500 TO the person in the
United States or Canada who shall
prepare the best essay on "Comets

TIE correspondent of the New Or

speech at Walden: The Republican

Capt. Ogden, Col. Kings man Fri
day spoke 80 minutes, frequently put
ting both hands in his pockets, and at
times gesticulating with package of
smoking tobacco in his hand. He
wound up with his sing, tuned to
"Rosin the Bow" Col. Manning's re-
ply began thus: "You are the sweet
est singer in Israel sing on, sing on u
He kept the audience in an uproar
of laughter and Ogden in ptiable
state of chagrin and embarrassment.
In fact Col. Manning used him up so
badly that, contrary to his intention
and the expectation of his party, he
has (after a long interview with Col.
King, this EVENING", determined to go
home tonight.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Memphis
Avalanche from Senatobia says about
Col. King: He tore Campbell's
Code to flinders and 50 utterly de-
molished the gallant General that he
had to bring in Gen. J. r.. Chalmers
to help him out, which, by the way,
was little out of order, as the two
candidates had agreed to joint dis
cussion between themselves, but this
is in keeping with the Democratic
party. AS Chalmers made "a first-rate
Greenback speech we will not COM
plain. He hit Mr.. Lamar some heavy
licks." 1t is pity the old gentle
man tore the Code up. We don't
know what the lawyers will do now.
This big demolishing business at SEN
atobia is news, even to his own party.

We often thought that it was only
campaign slander when 1t was said
Of Col. Ben. King that he went with
out shirt, but as he admitted Ia his
speech at Canton, that he dressed to
suit himself and could not deny the
charge that "he sometimes went
without a Shirt we accept the asser-
ton as true. Now he would be a
pretty specimen to put in the execu-
tive mansion. Think of the Governor
of Mississippi without shirt, and
having State receptions, etc. Bah -

In that case he would have to do as

1t is believed that the railroad tie OF
the future will be cut from the catalpa
tree The Fort Scott, Texas & Gull
Railroad has planted three hundred
acres Of young trees, and the Iron
Mountain railroad one hundred acres,
near Charleston, Mo. On the track
bed of the latter company ties of this
wood have lain Ia the muddy slit
of the Mississippi for twelve years,
and are still In good state Of preser-
vation. They have outlasted two sets
Of white oak ties, and bid fair to sur
vive the third. Fence posts In In
diana and Illinois are now sound after
having been In service for forty, fifty
and even seventy-five years. In the
