Gallatin Examiner: The balloon
ascension drew great crowds here last
Saturday and Wednesday. The @ro-
naut went up over half mile on the
last day, performing very handsomely
on the trapeze, and came down safely
in Watchers garden on Smith street.
He was in terror all the time, for just
as he grasped the bar Of the trapeze
and was caught up in the air at
the moment the air ship was
loosened from the earth, he was hor.
rified to see a small blaze in the side.
1t was not perceived by the crowd be-
low. He expected every moment
that the balloon would be envelOped
in blaze, but fortunately the fire
burned slowly. When at its greatest
altitude above the square, it COM
meDced descending rapidly, and was
soon on the ground. The hole burn
ed was several feet square. Had it
been higher up the side, We would
have had tragedy to record. He
describes his sensations as fearful.
The panoramic view of the country
was grand, Nashville, Lebanon, and
other towns being plainly seen.

The English sparrows are attack
ing the growing wheat in this part of
Delaware, and doing great damage to
the crop. They light on the heads
OF the wheat and pick the grain out.
These birds are as palatable as reed
birds when properly prepared for the
table.

A clerk in the pension office at
Washington has invented a method
of displaying weather signals in the
country for the benefit of farmers,
which may be adopted by the sig
nal service bureau. 1t provides for
a system of signal flags, to be known
as farmers signals, which are to be
displayed from sides Of United
States mail cars, which pass rapid
ly and continually over the country
on great network of tracks. The
flags will signal information as fol.
lows: White, meaning clear wealth
err; blne flag, fair weather; red for
doubtful, and black stormy. Sig
mails can be ordered up from Wash
ington by telegraph, and the cost of
the entire system, it is said, will be
insignificant.

Business for Ladies'.

The opportunities for ladies to find employment
that is both suitable and renumerative are limited
their pay is usually poor compared with the sal
aries paid to men in same lines of occupation. But
there are some very noted exceptions; journalism,
the drama, mnsic and platform offer equal advan
tages to men and women, md there is one occu.
patton in which women are sometimes more sue
cessful than men, and that is in the management
Of agencies. In this line The Queen City suspen-
od tSat INK are Gerng
attention. They are now manufacturing and in
Producing their new Stocking Supporters for La
dies. None should be without them; our leading
physicians recommend them, and are loud in
their praise These goods are manufactured by
ladies who have made the wants o. ladies and
children study, and they ask us to refer to some
reliable and energetic lady to introduce them in
this county, and we certainly think that an earn
est solicitation in every household would meet
with ready response, and that determined
woman could make handsome salary, and have
an exclusive agency. We advice some lady who
is in need of employment to send to the Company
her name and address, and mention this paper.

The situation in the Red River
country is becoming alarming on
account Of the injury of the wheat
crop by the frost of Sept. 30, which
it is said fairly froze the berry, and
chilled the life out of the grain
which had not then been cut. This
particular hard freeze was followed
by several cold ights. As soon as
the succeeding warm days came the
grain was thawed out and began to
shrivel into miserable little seeds.
The amount OF wheat thus ruined
IS estimated at 100000 bushels.
The Minneapolis millers say the
wheat will not make flour and in.
structions have been given all ele-
vator men to refuse all such wheat.
Chemists are making an analysis Of
the wheat to determine whether the
berry will make good -four. A COM
mission house classes it with mill
screenings, worth SO per ton on the
track in Minneapolis.

On Wednesday Of last week the
supreme court Of the United States
rendered a most important decision
on the civil rights act Of 1876, five
cases being used as tests. They
were respectively prosecutions I'M
der the act for not admitting Ger.
tain colored persons to equal accom-
modations and privileges in inns or
hotels, in railroad cars and theatres.
The court held that congress had
no constitutional authority to pass
the sections in question under eth
er the thirteenth or fourteenth
amendments Of the consultation.
The decision, however, in held to
apply only to its validity in States,
and not in Territories, or in the
District of Columbia, in which the
power Of congress is unlimited so
tar as the statutes are concerned. The
decision has created considerable
excitement among the colored men

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the plability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Gov. Hubbard's opponents are
unable to bring any charges against
the purity or honesty of his admin
ist:ation, nor do they bring in ques-
tion his ability or sagacity. He is
admitted by all to be sound, prac.
tical, highminded man, who con-
ducts the duties of his office upon
common sense business principles.
Bierman is carrying on back-door
still-hunt campaign that is beneath
the dignity of any man who aspires
to the position Of chief executive.
He goes among the Scandinavians
begging their votes on the ground Of
nationality. That seems to COM
prise the stock and trade of his cam
paign. We cannot believe that the
Scandinavians will be swerved from
their political principles by such a
despicable plea. They have been
literally treated by the Republicans
and it would be a short-si ghted
yolicy for them to prove traitor to
their friends and the party to which
they belong simply for the purpose
ofelecting one of their countrymen
who essays to control their votes.
While there is no danger Of Cover.
nor Hubbard's defeat, it is to be
hoped the Scandinayians will pot
attempt to draw the line between
races. Such course would be dis.
astrous to their own political future
and would establish a precedent
which light prove detrimental to
their interests in many ways. Mar
