Several of the Departments.

The third day Of the fair showed marked i'm
provement in attendance and gave promise that

Thursday, as heretofore, ould be the big day.
The day clear and the balloon being filed
at few minutes before IL O'Clock, Professor
King prepared for the first captive ascension.
He entered the air ship and in company with
Frank Newly, of the When, and Charles Dennis,
rephrter OF the Journal, went aloft TO height
of 700 or 500 feet. The balloon was controlled
by rope and windlass and, of course, the as
censon had not the exhilerauon that attends a
Digit through space at a higher elevation, ac-
ecmpanied by some little uncertainty as to the
exact location ana manner in which you are to
alight but the height was sufficient to give the
voyagers view over a radius of dozen miles
or more, bring White river, Fall creek and the
canal into an exceedingly small space, and make
a load of watermelons look like handful of
peas,

The War on Indecent Literature.

New York Commercial Bulletin.1
The efforts that are being made.
notably throughout the South, to
suppress the circulation of OBJ
scene literature, especially Ger.
tain class of Illustrated uewspa.
pers. are to be heartily commend.
ed. Not long since the newsdeal.
ers of Richmond, Virginia, com.
bined to prevent the sale of this
kind of stuh-a stand that may
well be taken by newsdealers else
where. In 1873 the Legislature
of Georgia passed u law forbid
ding the sale of certain illustrated
papers, and few weeks ago an
agent of u New York publication
went to Atlanta and made test
case under the law. lie sold his
paper, was arrested for it, and was
sentenced to a choice between u
$1,000 fine aud serving II months
in the chain gang.
Let us have more of such "test
cases. everywhere. Let it not
be said that decency and morality
are ceasing TO be potent facts in
the community. Let the law that
has been enforced with such vigOr
in the wide awake Southern city
be placed on the statute book of
every other State; then let the
law be enforced. The average
American is good.natured and
long-su1'ering, but we submit that
il is about time that the business
of poking nasty newspaper pic
lures into the faces of tr .velcrs
on the cars, of displaying them on
counters side by side with decent
works, or still worse, in shop win
dows for the corruption of youth,
should be stopped.
There is evil enough in man that
cannot he surpassed, but that
which it is within the power Of
decent men to do ought to be
done in the way of preventing
the perversion of youthful minds
by contact with the vile matter
issued from week to week to the
corruption of morals and the dis.
vrace of journalism.

Hudson River Grape Growing.


AetEtif'fN
II the dwelers along tho Hud.
son do not come in time to look
upon the wine when ii is red, it
will be because they are more alb.
stemiously inclined than the aver
age of mankind. The immense
grape crop of the present year
reaches far beyond the limit of
demand for consumption in the
form of fresh fruit. AS o result,
a large amount of wine must be
made to save the fruit from waste.
Tho gratifying success that IS at
tending grape culture along the
banks of tho historic stream will
only serve to stimulate the grow
ers to constant extension of their
vineyards. The time has arrived
at last when the culture of the
grape for vintage purposes must
become a recognized aud growing
American industry. OF course,
the ultra temperance people will
deplore the manufacture of Amer

A Curious Accident.
Memphis Avalanche 4

Memphis Avalanche.
a very painful aud decidedly
unusual accident occurred yester.
day near the Kansas City incline,
on the other side of the river,
where extensive pile driving is
now being done. The victim of
the accident was n daring subma-
rine diver, named James Moore.
Yesterday afternoon he had occa.
sion to go uuder the water in pur.
suit of his business. Those who
were on terra frma noted that
he remained under the water q
long time, and they became fear.
ful that something had happened
to him. Accordingly another di.
yer was sent down TO see what
was the matter. When the see
ond diver reached the bottom he
was borrifed to find that Moore
was fastened by the foot to one of
the piles. While at work in the
water the pile-driver had como
down, driven spike through the
fleshy part of Moore's foot, aud
pinned him to it. The poor fell
low WAS in u terrible dilemma,
and was nearly dead when discov-
cred. There was no way to pull
the spike ont, and in consequence
a knife had to be procured.
Moorc's foot was cut ont between
two of the toes, and he was extri.
Gated from his dreadful situation
When taken ashore he was almost
unconscious from intense pain
There was no other way to re.
lieve the poor fellow except TO slit
his foot. Fortunately for him the
spike was driven through the
ficshy portion of his foot, and no
arteries were pierced. His wound
is exceedingly painful, and will
keep him confined for several
weeks, but it is not regarded rs
dangerous. Moore was taken to
his home, on the southeast corner
of Alabama and Washington
streets, in Fort Pickering.
