A PeriIous Adventure.

vienna Dispatch to London Telegraph
Last night M. Eugene GODDARD, the
celebrated French aeronaut, who was
accompanied by three local journalists,
very narrowly escaped a melancholy
death by the descent of his balloon in
the Danube. The start was effected
from a large pleasure garden in the
nelghborhood of Schonbrunn at 7:15.
An immense crowd had assembled to
witness the proceedings, and cheered
voclferously as the huge aerial
craft rose majestically aloft. About
an hour later thunder storm
of terrible violence broke out, and
the gravest apprehensions were enter
tanned for M. GODDARD and his compan-
ions. AS it afterward proved. they we're
only too well founded. The balloon was
clouds, and thrice the lightning flashed
within a few yards of the terror-stricken
crew. M. GODDARD, however, kept his
presence of mind, and after vainly en-
deavoring, by emptying the sand-bags,
to steer clear of the storm, he decided to
come down as quickly as possible.
The balloon was then some 5000 feet
high, and moving at a rate of 81 feet
per second. The gas pipe was opened,
and the balloon began to descend with
fearful rapidity. Suddenly M. GODDARD
exclaimed, "We shall fall into the Dan
ube." A fr1ritless attempt was made to
use the anchor, but the trees were too
far below and the speed too great At
any moment it appeared that they might
be ingulfed in the stream, whence, owing
to the storm, all escape would be impos-
sible. M. GODDARD hereupon cried out,
Gentlemen. we are one too many"
But as none of his companions
appeared disposed to withdraw he
threw overheard Is kiIogrammes
of rope, and, with the anchor at
tached to the remainder, endeavored to
catch the brushwood on the river edge.
This, fortunately, succeeded, and the
car was secured within few feet of the
water. "Thank God, we are saved!"
shouted Mr.. GODDARD, just as a tremen-
dous shock impaired the welcome fact to
his fellow travellers. Assistance was at
hand, and an hour later the whole party
were recovering their composure in q
neighboring village inn. The descent
was accomplished at 8 o'clock, near
KlOsterneuburg.

A couple from Virginia landed in Mil

AS the squire was preparing to make il

The Squire suggested that the license

too far to back out now.

Edwin Forrest and White Cloud,

from the san FRANCISCO VANITY Fa1r.
Many years ago, while Edwin Forrest
was playing an engagement in western
tneater, White Cloud and number of
other Indian chiefs were on their return
from Washington. Stopping in the
town over night, they were conducted
to the theater to see the great American
tragedian Mr.. Forrest was then in the
prime of life, his voice being up to the
maximum of q senator. The play on
that evening was Metamora," which is
now in the possession of John McCul-
Tough. White Cloud and his band of
warriors were accommodated with seats
in stage-box. The theater was crowd
ed, and it was very evident that the au-
ditors were anxious to observe what eff
feet the performance would have on the
simon-pure children of the forest The
play proceeded, and, although the In
dams could not understand a single
word that was said, yet they appeared to
be much interested, occasionally giving
to one another satisfactory grunt. At
ter while they became rather uneasy,
which seemed to be simultaneous among
them ALL This was more apparent
when the Indian war-whoop came from
behind the scenes. The eyes of the
audience were upon White Cloud, who
| two or three times grasped the toma-
hawk in his belt. The other warriors
did so likewise. The party were getting
more excited as the play proceeded.
They looked at each other with anxiety;
their eyes indexed the fact that their
''souls were in arms" Presently Meta
mora, with uplifted tomahawk, rushed
upon the stage, and when he gave that
war-whoop, which none but Forrest
could do, the Indians could remain in
their seats no longer. Forrest gave
second and shrill whoop, whereupon
White Cloud and his band, joining in
full chorus, sprang upon the stage, and,
tering knives, rushed toward Metamora.
Forrest was dumbfounded for moment,
but he soon took in the situation, and,
finding that the real Indians were or
his side, ready to do or die in his behalf,
he felt that he had achieved one of his
greatest triumphs in the profession he
SO much loved during his eventful life.
In detailing this anecdote Forrest said
that he was not really aware at the time
of the performance that he was using an
exact "whoop" for reinforcements, but
| the wild Indians understood it and re-
sponded as followers of Metamora The
house was thrown into the widest OK
citement, which soon cooled down, with
the general belief that it was the best
performance and most effective rendi-
ton of the Indian play ever made by
the distinguished actor.

Chimneys.
[From the New York Evening Mail.l

From the New York Evening NALL
Chimneys have always been prolific
source of danger. In former days the
citizen was held responsible if he suf-
fered any of his chimneys to get on fire.
It cid not in the least matter how the
thing happened, the argument that he
ought to have prevented it, and that if
he did not, he should pay for his care
lessness. No doubt this law did much
to keep down confa9ration, but it was
found to be insufficient as protection,
and in 1766 so much damage had been
done in New York by fire that every man,
who was the fortunate possessor Of two
chimneys, was called upon to provide u
bucket, and when houses still kept on
being burned it became necessary to ap-
point overseers to look the matter up
and inspect the chimneys once week,
and, if after inspection, they declared
the hues clean and yet fire occurred,
they had to bear half the penalty of the
householder's fine. This proves how
badly they managed things in those days,
instead of making insurance companies
pay damages.

HYMN BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

GThe following hym1. written for the occasion
ar. John g. Whittier, was sClg to the tune
sAuld Lang Syne - at the banquet of the Americ;
theological society in Boston.]
Painter of the fruits and flowers
We own thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands of ours
May share the work of Thinel
Apart from Thee we plant in vain
The root and sow the seed:
The early and Thy later rain,
The sun and dew we need.
Our toll is sweet with thankfulness,
Our burden is our boon
The curse of Earth's gray morning is
The blessing of its noon.
Why search the wide world everywhere
For Eden's unknown ground?
That garden of the primal pair
May never more be found.
But, blest by Thee, our patient toll
May write the ancient wrong,
And give to every cline and soil
The beauty lost SO long,
Our homestead flowers and fruited trees,
May EGen's orchard shame;
We taste the tempting sweets of these
Like Eve, without her blame.
And, North and South and East and West,
The pride of every zone,
The fairest, rarest and the best
May ali be made our own.
Its earliest shrines the young world sought
In hill-groves and in bowers
The fttest offerings thither brought
Were Thy own fruits and flowers.
And still with reverent hands we Gull
Thy gifts each year renewed;
The good is always beautiful
The beautiful is good.

THE -dDDITIONiL CONsTA BLES.
What the Law Means-The Contest
for the Places and the Candidates.

The public will remember in reading the
proceedings OF the late Legislature that occa-
sional mention was made Of the additional
constables bill, which finally passed. This
provides for two additional constables for
Wilmington, to be appointed by the Governor
for term Of four years. The general reader
doubtless has very little idea what this act IL
Intended for and perhaps expects two more
constables than We already have in which idea
he il mistaken.
This is not the first time an act of this kind
has been passed. -Four years ago similar
bill went through the Legislature, and in
accordance Herewith Governor Cochl IN APP
pointed W. W. Pritchett and Henry w.
Trutt. Truitt afterwards resigned and
Patrick Neary got his place, also by appoint.
ment Of Governor Cochran. Had the law IN
question not been re-enacted by the last
Legislature Messrs. Pritchett and Neary
would now be out of the service with no
chance OF securing new lease OF official life,
but under the present circumstances, the bill
having passed, they have an opportunity for
reappOintment, while any other citizen with
tho same political procliyities has an equal
chance.
Mr. Pritchett's term expired about month
since aud Nlr. Nearys few days ago, and
neither of them for the present can perform
any of the duties of constable. Both have ap-
piled for reappointment and are procuring as
many and us good recommendations AZ posi-
bic, for transmission to Governor Hall, who
has the appointments to make.
There Is no walkover for anyone i'll the
canvass for these appointments, and there IL
considerable cashing among the loyal in
what may be properly called the fight for the
place. The only applicant besides those
named is George G. Ward, who ID making a
spirited CANVASS and is being supported by an
element which has long been quietly opposed
TO one of the old officers, Mr.. pritchett. The
appointments will doubtless be made before
very long.
Ii may be said that the bill was opposed,
when before the Legislature, by the city con
stables who are the creatures Of the Levy
Court, from motives of business interest, but
it had political bearing against which their
opposition had no weight

CEDAR ISLAND.
Two Dover Men Who Expect to Strik 9
OIL and Oysters.

On Thursday last Messrs. l. N, Mills and
Richard Harrington, who recently purchased
Cedar Island, supplemented that transaction
by buying up the boats tackle and the
fixtures OF the retiring owners. On Saturday
next the work OF fixing up under the new
management will begin
Cedar Island is aitnated on the Atlantic
coast, IN Accomack county, Va, between Ne
tompkin and Watchapreague inlets and about
20 miles south OF the town of Chpcoteaeue
Like the other islands OF the chain striking
the coast from Indian River to Cape Charles.
it consists OF sandy beach and sal. marsh
with a sparse growth of cedars and pines
Inc Island ID nearly seven miles long by three
or four wide.
Since purchasing the island, Messrs Har
rington and Mills have associated three or
Tour others with them with the intent to 20
INTO the fish oil and fertilizer business. This
industry has been previously carried on, and
old buildings and machinery are in position
The purchasers intend to enlarge and i'm
early IN May.
The industry referred to Is the catching OF
menhaden, expressing the oil from them and
manufacturing the remains of the fish into
fertilizers. The menhaden, otherwise called
"alewives," ''old wives" and half-a-dozeu
othe- names, are caught along this coast in
vast quantities. and other factories on ASA
t'"buot huu
have been encouragingly successful. Tho
fishing season lasts from May till November
The lower end of the island has been leased
to Long Island company for the same pur-
pose, which company has an extensive plant
already on the way and will be ready also
early III May.
There IL another important source OF in
come in the oyster beds of the Broad Water
side Of the island, which the proprietors will
develop aud supplement the natural beds by
the planting OF others. With western coast
line OF six miles and water nowhere exceed
ing few feet in depth, Cedar Island can be
made az famous AZ Chincoteague, for
blvalves. Mr.. Mills brags highly of the Broad
Water oysters. "Chincoteague never saw
such oysters, he said ~ opened one the
other day 30 fat that stood it up on end
after | took it out of the shell and it stood
there,
The oysters and edible fish interests, the
latter consisting OF blue fish chiefly, will,
however, be contingent TO some extent for
their development on some other things. If
the menhaden industry proves lucrative
enough to justify the employment Of small
steamboat, the question will be solved and the
boat will be used when needed to convey the
oysters to Franklin City, the southern termi-
nus of the Frankford x Worcester railroad ;
the shipment by an all water route being con-
sidered lmpracticable. Failing in this, the
oysters and fish will slumber and swim un-
marketed. probably, until the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company runs branch line down
Eastern Accomack.
