BALLOONS ANn BALLOONS.

"Wind and weather permitting" Pro-
lcssor King, of Philadelphia, will under
take his promised balloon ascension from
Chicago to-day. This is the same gentle
man who was to have made trip last
month from Minneapolis to New York, but
who so disappointed the lovers of mro-

and information, the balloon as a method
ofnayigation and transportation has not
been the success that science had
once hoped for it. Its fate now

THE contest in the republican ranks for
the nomination Of speaker of the house OF
representatives will be severe one. The
friends of Messrs lliscock, of New York,
Kasson, Of Iowa, and Kciltr, of Ohio are
urging vigorously the claims Of each one of
these gentlemen and claim that each one
will be the choice. In the meantime Mr.,
Samuel Randall, of Pennsylvania, is not
asleep on the democratic side, and it pos
sible that with few iudicious combinations,
which he so shrcwdly knows how to make,
he may get grccnback and republican votes
enough to retain the spcakcrship.

Experiments With Potatoes.

G. L. Ingersol makes report of an ex-
pertinent with potatoes at Purdue Uni
versity. The weather was extremely
unfavorable for the growth of the crop;
no tests were made as to quality. The
following is the list of potatoes that did
the best, and the yield of each per acre.
The plats were small, but the crop was
carefully weighed and the result COM
puted as a yield per acre in order to give
a better comparison. The season at this
p int was rather peculiar in this, that
the rainfall from January to July l
was three -fourths of all the rainfall for
eleven months, or until December | =,
1880. The following is the table: Sn9w.

OF an engine, tender, baggage-car, passenger
and sleeping cars. ALI went down except the
sleeper, which hangs over the end of the bridge
at an angle of forty degrees, the upper end
high in the air. Two cars foated off down
stream. The passenger coach lodged against
an island forty rods away, and the baggage-car
struck in the middle of the stream about the
same distance. Only the roofs of the
two cars were left in sight. Engineer
West and the fireman, name unknown,
residing at Freeport, went down in the
cab, and nothing has since been seen of the To-
comotive or men. Baggageman Sam. Flana-
gan, brakeman Harry Myers, messenger Dan.
Ellithorpe, and conductor Thomas Fuller all
escaped uninjured, except the latter, whose es-
cape is q miracle Eleven passengers were in
the forward car, including man and boy re-
siding on Pine River, Wisconsin, en- route to
Omaha; a woman and two children, who got on
at Savannah, for Rock Island; Dr. L. Linsey,
of Albany, and five others, destination un-
known; of these, two men jumped ashore as
the floating car passed the aburment. Another
man leaped, but fell back and was drowned A
woman and one child and q boy from Pine
River were taken off the roof of the car after it
lodged at the island, and the other six pas
sengers, including the man from Pine River,
little child Of lady, and DIR. Linsey, were
drowned. These, together with the engineer
and fireman, made eight lives lost in all.

Waste and Abuse of Flowers.

Masses of flowers on dinner table
are an anomaly; there is something al
most offensive in the mingled odor OF
their perfume and the reek of the dishes
and lights. At ball they are not out
of place and keeping for certain pur-
poses. Roses, lilies, carnations, violets
are natural adornments for young
woman, and bunch of them in her
hand or on her breast is an appropriate
ornament, and the complement of her
evening dress; but where is the fitness,
the beauty, the sentiment, the common
sense, when she has six, q dozen, or
twenty? Are there twenty persons, or
twelve, or even six, at the same time to
send her flowers which mean more than
If they were of wax or tissue paper, or
which have any more intrinsic. value to
her who carries them? Are they wit
nesses of love, or even of admiration?
How many are sent merely to crafty the
demands Of vanity? At every ball rival
beauties carry bouquets sent to each by
the same men. Many are sent by MEM
bers of the lady's family, which takes
half the significance from flowers sent
by the same kinsfolk on birthdays, or in
sickness, or at time Of special Joy or
sorrow. And what is to be said of the
bouquets sent as bribes to women of
fashion by men who wish to obtain their
good offices? And what of those sent by
a man to woman whom he admires,
not to give her pleasure, but prestige
to crafty her vanity and refexly his
own! There is an instance, well known,
in one of our great cities, of one man
sending several bouquets for the same
ball, to console her for social slight;
she appeared to be initiated as great
belle and he as the bellies favored cava-
lier. And what of the bouquets stacked
on the front cushion of a proscenium
box, in the blast of the footlights and
flung, half-faded, to a p,'i,na donna, to
whom they are already a drug, who
perhaps is hurrying through her part to
leave town by the next train?-At' Intic

Corn too Thick.

One summer we had side hill on
which we planted corn-the Chester
County Mammoth-and it was in its
growth very rank. The hired man. who
was told to pull out all unhealthy stalks
and leave not more than at the least
three to the hill. did not pull any at all,
but got drunk. The field was very
beautiful, but practical men came to us
and said that it was very nice and
picturesque, but that it was like hem
lock forest--too shady. The truth i,
the hills had been pretty heavily and
hotly fertilized through the drunkenness
of the aforesaid man, and the shades
made by the stalks kept the ground cool
in the drought. The result was hand
some crop of corn at a time when corn
had been burned up by the, sun. We
would not like to recommend this plan
to anybody, because we think it is a
very bad one, but we relate it as a mat
ter of illustration for some of the
agricultural smarties.-New York Herald.

Terrific ExulOafona.

Two terrible and almost simultaneous ex-
plosions occurred from nitro-glycerine, in the
inter vaults of the Dlttmar Powder Works, in
Binghampton, New York, ON the 21st inst.
About five minutes afterward 10, 900 pounds of
sporting powder, in q store-house about 100
feet from the inter vaults, ignited and caused
another terrific explosion. Buildings were de-
molished and scattered in every direction and
property destroyed for miles around. Fences
were blown to splinters, trees uprooted, many
buildings in the nighborhood badly shattered,
and windows two and three miles away blown
out by the conclusion. The shock was dis
tinctly felt forty miles away. No one was
seriously hurt. The man in charge of the inter
vault Uncovered the fire, caused by an improper
mixture Of acids, warned the others, and fled
before the explosion occurred. On the same
day, powder magazine three miles from
Bridgeport, Conn, containing 1000 kegs OF
powder, exploded, shaking the earth in the
vicinity as by an earthquake. No lives were
lost.

Death OF Dfsraelf.

benjamin Disraeli, Earl Of Beaconsfield, died
at half-past o'clock on the morning of April
49, after an illness Of some weeks. His re-
markably vigorous and elastic constitution sue
cumbed to an attack of its old enemy, the
gout, complicated with other diseases, and in
tensifed by the very unfavorable condition of
the weather. Though seventy-six years of age
on the 21st of December last, his energy and
activity up to the time of the acute attack
which proved fatal, impressed the public that
he had still a reserve of strength. Disraell
was great author as well as politician. At the
age of twenty-one he published q novel called
Vivian Grey, since which time he has given a
number Of works to the public, his last being
Endymion.
