in the Woods 65 Miles North OF
Chippewa Falls.
A dispatch from Chippewa Falls OF
the 21st inst. says:
Prof. King and company has arrived
in our city at eight o'clock this morn
ing. The balloon took a southerly
course after leaving Chicago, and pass
ed over Peoria, Ills. From there it
took direct course for this county,
and landed about IS miles north of
this city, in the dense pine woods,
about one-half mile inland, and on
the Flambeau river. On Friday,
at 2 D. M, they were in the woods and
swamps. For five days they were
without food or shelter. Prof. King
remarks that water is very fair diet
for five days after man gets used to it.
At pm. ,on the 9th day they discovered
two men in boat in the Flambeau,
who came to their rescue and guided
them. In the winter they will re-
move the balloon They supposed they
were 40 miles from st. Paul, in Min
desota. They leave for Chicago to-day.
Another dispatch says Prof. King is now
at Chippewa Falls. The balloon land
ed Friday night, So miles up the river
from here. The aronauts were two
days in working their way to human
habitation, and it has been impossible
to reach a railway or telegraph station
until now, owing to the impassibility
of the roads, which is due in large
measure to the unprecedented fall of
ram.

Gladstone and the Poor Bow.

And here | must pause to tell a
thing | have just heard of Mr. Glad
stone. 1t was told me by an old and
venerable Congregational preacher of
England.
On Mr.. Gladstone's estate in Wales
is poor charwoman. A charwoman
is one hired by the day to do the most
meIial offices about a household. This
charwoman, who is widow, had an
unruly son who gave her great trouble
and sorrow. The poor mother thought
that she might have some hope for her
boy if Mr.. Gladstone would speak to
him. AS she met him one day She told
her trouble to the prime minister. Ex-
pressing great sympathy for the moth
er, Mr.. Gladstone asked her to send
her son to his study. When ne made
his appearance the great man received
him kindly, and talked to him as :.
father talks to bis own son.
But before ne said to the youth the
special thing which he intended to say,
Mr.. Gladstone proposed that they
should first have word of prayer to-
gether, to ask the guidance and assist
ance of Almighty God. Bowling down
in his study, the man who has been
twice premier of England, on Bonded
knees, pleaded earnestly with the
Great Father in behalf of the hayward
boy The man who Yields the desti-
MES of great nation and controls its
counsels, and who has 50 often and so
eloquently pleaded the cause of the
oppressed of all lands, was heard when
he thus pleaded with God in prayer for
the son of the charwoman. The way
ward boy was transformed into an
obedient and faithful son, and the poor
mothers heart was filled with 10y and
gladness. Is not nation blessed that
has such a man for its prime minister?

From the Capital.

RICHARD I. MERRICK, a leading attor-
nev at Washington, is firm in his belief
that the district court lacks jurisdiction
to try Guiteau for murder.
SECRETARY BLAINE has ordered ban
quet for three hundred guests at Worm
leys, in Washington, in honor of the
French and German guests of the nation.
A DINNER to General Grant was given
by General Beale in Washington, which
resolved itself into stalwart conference.
Blaine's friends insist that he has been
asked to remain in the cabinet. There
seems to be little doubt that Edwin d.
Morgan will be nominated for secretary
of the treasury.
TYNER had an interview of three hours
with President Arthur, and was listened
to with patience and frequently ques-
toned. He will make another attempt to
establish his innocence of the charges cir
culated against him in connection with
the star route business.
A MAN giving the name of Jere Bald
win, from Ohio, appeared at the treasury
department with called bonds valued at
81 ,l49, and refused to accept anything
but gold in payment. The coin weighed
seventy pounds, and rendered his valise
too heavy to lift. As he appeared to be
somewhat demented, he was placed in
charge of a police captain.
THE senate reassembled with quite a
full attendance. John Sherman secured
the passage of the resolution calling for
the suppressed treasury report. Mr.. Nc
Pherson presented petition from members
of the New York legislature affecting the
titles of the new senators from that state.
A. S. Alexander, of Indiana, was confirm
ed az fifth auditor of the treasury.
Guiteau is still very nervous, aud he is
furnishing his counsel daily with evidence
against himself on the subject of insanity
For Instance. he wrote note to George
Scoville he other night. in which he said:

BUSTS OF THE LATE PRESIDENT
Progress OF the sculptor Macdonald
in His Work.

| tsh MIS- W VFk.
Cleveland Press
In secluded room in the heart of
the city Willis Macdonald. the New
York sculptor, was found this forenoon
| by reporter. Macdonald was the art
ist. who made the statue at West Point
of Custer. The statues of Fritz Greene
Halleck and of Washington Irving, the
latter in Brooklyn, were his work also.
Macdonald was well acquainted with
Custer, but never saw Halleck hut once
Macdonald is making bust in CLAW of
Garfield. The work is being done for a
large sum for a gentleman in New York
city, friend of the late president. NJ
merous copies in bronze and marble
will undoubtedly be made for colleges,
institutions, and private persons. Mac
Donald thinks he will charge about
$500 for the bronze and $500 for the
marble busts. The clay of which he is
modelling the figure was obtained at the
corner of Perry and Superior streets.
1t is rather dark, but at the first glance
the reporter saw that the artist had
succeeded in getting an excellent like
ness of the president. The figure is a
little larger than life-size. The artist
stated that he had seen Garfield several
times at distance, but he is guided
now solely by photographs. An easel
was covered with photographs of the
late president, taken at various times,
some by Sarony, and others by Cleve-
land artists.
"Do you notice." said the sculptor,
chow well balanced his head was
Place one end of string at the ear and
swing the other end around in a circle,
and you will find that his head forms
almost a perfect circle No one part
of the head was abnormally developed
at the expense of another, indicating
that the man had well-balanced brain
and no eccentricities. Notice his beau
tiful, clear-cut nose"
The lips seemed to demand much
study from the artist As the reporter
was about to depart he remarked:
Cleveland has numerous men of
wealth, and some If them ought to put
up a bust of Garfield in one of the parks.
There is not room, think, to build Z.
massive monument on the knoll where
the Garfield remains will be buried, I'M
less the whole surface of the hillock
should be occupied, or the tomb made
by tunneling under it"

IT is tolerably certain, from the re-
port of Colonel Warning that the sick
ness which seems liable to affect per-
sons living in the white house, and
which has long been attributed to the
malaria of the low lands adjoining,
arises from the improper drainage and
ventilation of the mansion. Certainly
the condition of things described in
Colonel Warnings report would be con-
sidered a dangerous enemy to breathe
in any of our large cities. 1t is hoped
that the matter will be remedied, and

made as perfect, at least, as in the or

4 Tobacco GentIem an

Only a short time ago, says an Iowa
correspondent, while we sat in an Os-
ceola store, we saw a man and wife from
the country trading. The woman had
the appearance of being hard-work-
ing, industrious, intelligent lady. She
was examining piece of calico or other
cheap dress goods. The clerk said:
"Shall / cut you off ten yards ?" The
pale-faced, overworked woman turned
to her husband and in timid, fright
ened manner asked him if she might
buy a dress, as she needed it and the
cost would be less than 81. mo" he
grunted, Il can't afford it, !" and yet he
had just paid as much for great plug
of navy and paper or two of smoking
tobacco. The poor, illy-clad but neat
woman subsidized as though this was no
new experience, while her rough, coarse
and animal husband bit Of a mouthful
of the weed and ordered her to get
ready for home.
