Aiming the Enemy.

Capt. George M. Jackson, speaking
of the Gen. John Morgan reunion,
said to a Republican Reporter that he
couldn't help but think how he, a
union captain, unWittingly helped to
arm two companies Of Morgan's regi-
ment during the war 1t happened
in this way: Il, said the captain,
volunteered in the 4th Kentucky
union regiment, of which Fry, who
killed Zollicoffer, was the colonel. [
mustered in at Camp Dick Robinson
and was elected captain. I felt pretty
large, wore the captains straps on my
shoulders and a tall hat with feath-
er as large as life, being then but 90
years old. I asked and obtained a fur
Tough to visit Cincinnati. There [ met
two old friends, named Cole and Kelly
the former now living at Upton,
Mo. One of the boys asked me if [
cOuldn'tget them permit to purchase
pistol and ammunition in the city,
as they were not known in the city
and desired me to certify that they
were all right. [ said there would be
no trouble about it. I took them to
the headquarters of Gen. Burnside,
who was then in command. and the
official who had the granting of per-
mits. Seeing that I was sound, hav-
ing a union captains shoulder-straps
on, and after showing him my fur
Tough, he said: II will give your
friends permits to purchase all the
pistols they need" which was done.
[ parted with Cole and Kelly, but on
crossing the river [ found they were
carrying their carpet-sacks heavily
loaded down. [ asked what they had
in there that was heavy, and they
laughingly prevaricated, and I did
not care to be too lnquisitive. [ sub
sequently learned that with their per-
mits obtained, as I have just stated
they made several trips to Cincinnati,
and procured $50 pistols, with the nee
essary caps and ammunition, with
which they armed two full com panies
of John Morgan's brigade, of which
they were members. I kept the mat
ter to myself, and Burnside was never
the wiser for it. st. Louis Republi-

PeriIS of n BaIlOOpiSt

The voyage of the Count de Dion's
balloon came to an abrupt and unlock
ed for determination at Brussels ON
the day following the start from Ia
Nlllette. The Count has given the fol-
lowing notes upon the aerial Journey
of himself and his three companions:
Soon after starting the balloon attain
ed an altitude of 1900 meters. 1t was
sailing smoothly before a moderate
breeze from the southwest. when il
was suddenly caught in a rain storm
which beat SO heavily upon it that the
8rOnauts had to throw out a large
quantity of ballast. The bad weather
lasted throughout the night In the
morning the balloon was over Charlie
volN. There, at a height of 500 meters
the pigeons were lOosed, but they have
not as yet reported themselves at their
home. a successful descent was made
III the neighbOrhoOd of Brussels. Be
fore reaching the earth the outer Gov
erlng of the balloon became detached,
with sound as if a cannon shot. and
made a parachute-like descent on its
own account, falling a kilometre dis
tant. The count attributes this acct
dent to the imperfect attachment of
the small cords which held the cover
ing to the net work. He intends, how
ever, to renew the experiment.
Another cause which shortened the
journey was that the balloon itself
had not been revarnished since the
last ascent, and there was an incessant
escape of gas, which, combined with
the bad weather, prevented its remain
ing in the air. The Count is too en-
thusiastic an aeronaut to be daunted
by these little mishaps, and in month
or so, L'Hanizan, the balloon; will
make a new departure from La
Villete.
