THE problem of steering balloons
is not solved. Captains Renaud and
Krebs, of the French army, in the ex-
periments at Meudon, have simply
shown skill IN studying air currents
and making use of them in fine wealth
er. They have profted by the zeph-
yr circuits produced by sunshine in
warm afternoons. Captain Jovis, the
aeronaut, accomplished the result
which they vaunt. When the world
sees balloon that cannot only make
head against a high wind, but tack
against it, it will believe in the solu,
ton Of the problem that Krebs and
Renaud have been studying.

Mr.. KELLY on Saturday last gave
an exhibition Of his mysterious motor
in the presence Of a large number Of
stockholders in the motor company
The test was made at Sandy Hook by
means of a small cannon, the motor
form taking the place Of gunpowder:

semblage that by the LIST of December
he expected some grand results, and
that the present year would see the
motor perfected. He proposes to ap-
ply it to telegraphy as well as to the

SUPPOSE a newspaper man, every
time he hears Off man who has severe
ly criticized him or his paper in pub
lie should retaliate by holding up to
the public gaze the faults and short
comings Of the said criticizer. What
would be the result? Why the criti-
cizer would think he had been terribly
outraged and would thirst for the edi-
tors gore. Then the poor scribe would
get shot or shoot somebody. The pa
tent beast of burden, the country jour
nalist, never does this except under
great provocation. 1t isn't because
he is afraid to do it but because he is
not mean enough. He allows men to
go around trying to destroy his bust
ness. He hears his paper called a
worthless sheet because the editor in
doing his duty has stepped on some
body's toe. He is threatened with
death because he commented on the
lawless act of some ruffian, yet he goes
on fighting the battles of the town,
helping along public Institutions, do
ing good to those who persecute him.
Where, oh, where does the poor edi-
tor receive his reward. Certainly not
on this side of the dark river.-Ex.

\ Church-G Going Dogs Good Mem.
OrV.

When pastor in southbridge, Mass,
a gentleman connected with the church
frequently called at the parsonage, ac-
companiedb by a dog of rather small size,
which became q pet at the house. He
always went with his master on Sunday
to church, and would lie down at the
doorway Of the pew, which was near
the pulpit. AS soon as I commenced
the service the dog would invariably
start and walk into the altar and to the
top of the pulpit steps, and there lie
down facing the congregation and re-
main a quiet and attentive listener
through the service. As the congrega-
ton rose at the singing of the last
hymn the dog would retrace his steps to
his masters pew respectfully wait there
till the benediction was pronounced,
and then retire with his master. The
gentleman removed to m adjoining
town. Six weeks after his removal /
exchanged pulpits with his pastor and
entered the church and pulpit, not l,av-
ing seen him or his dog since he left
Southbridge. When I commenced SER
vice, the dog recognized my voice, and
scratched at the pew door TO be let out;
and, coming to the top of the pulpit
stairs, he lay down as formerly till the
closing hymn, when he arose and went
back to the pew as he did in South
bridge. This surprised the congrega-
ton, as the dog, always at church, had
remained in the pew quietly, till at this
time, and never went to the pulpit af-
terward.-Rev. S. Cushing.

A Genuine Love Story.

A young clergyman and his bride
were invited guests at a large party Civ
en- by a wealthy parishioner. In all the
freshness and elegance of her bridal
wardrobe the young wife shown among
the throng, distinguished by her come
illness, vivacity and rich attire; and when
during the evening her young husband
drew her aside and whispered to her
that she was the most beautiful woman
in all the company, and that his heart
was burning with pride and love for
her, she thought herself the hap
piest woman in the world. Ten
years later the same husband and
wife were guests at the same house,
where was gathered a similar gay
company. The wife of ten years
wor. the same dress she had worn on
the previous occasion; of course it had
been made over. and vas old-fashioned
and almost shabby. Toll and care and
motherhood and pinched circumstan-
ces had taken the roses out Of her
cheeks, and the 1.-THE spirit out Of her
form. She sat apart from the crowd
looking and preoccupied.
Her : aall hands roughened with coarse
toll, ere ungloved, for the minister's
salary was painfully small.
A listle apart, the ten years husband
stood and looked at his wife, and, as he
observed her faded dress and her weary
attitude, q great sense of all her patient,
loving faithfulness came over his heart.
Looking up she caught his earnest gaze
and noticed that his eyes we're filled
with tears. She rose and went to
him, her questioning eyes mutely ask
ing sn explanation of his emo
ton. And when he tenderly took her
hand and placing it on his arm led her
away from the crowd and told her how
he had been thinking OF her as she
looked ten wears before when she was o
bride, and how much more precious she.
was to him 0 and how much more
beautiful for all, for her shabby dress
and roughcned hands, and how he APP
preciated oil her sacrifices and patient
toll for him and their children, a great
wave of happiness filed her heart, a
light shone in her face that gave 1t more
than its youthful beauty, and in all
this company there was not so happy a
couple as this husband and wife, their
hearts and faces aglow from the flaming
up of a pure sentiment that TRANSPORTED
and ennobled and glorified all the tolls
and %privations they had endured.

The Vanderbilt Residences.

From the New York World.
Idoubt the yarn that was current on
the street yesterday, that Cornelius
Vanderbilt had offered to sell his S.
900, 900 house for $1,000, 900 and wa.
going to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
board for economy's sake, and that W.
X. had already gone to Paris to live.
They probably all feel poor. though.
It was a folly for Cornelius to put up
that gorgeous mansion ut Fifth avenue
and Fifty-seventh street. The $50, 900
house his doting grandfather gave him
on Fourth avenue and Thirty third
street was a very comfortable residence
indeed; but when he got hold Of that
So, 900, 600 he went and bought the two
new and spacious houses on Fifth ave-
nue, giving Bigelow SITS, 900 for one
and $i35, 900 for the other. They had
been begun only two years before, and
one was not yet finished, but he leveled
them to the ground, every brick, and
built his own personal palace there. A
prudent man wouldn't have done it.
And Mrs. William X. would think her
dolls were stuffed with sawdust if she
were compelled to quit the residence
where she and Lady Vaudeville have
given such magnificent entertainments
especially that Gothic dining-room
which inspired her little girl to inquire
at the end of the first week, "Ma, have
we always got to eat in the church,"

A Lesson in Mobilizing squadrons.

The Secretary of the Navy having re-
Gently noticed statements of the system
adopted by the German Government
for rapidly mobilizing squadrons, called
upon the Bureau Of Navigation for a
report from the Office of Naval Intelli-
sence OF any information the latter Of
lice had upon the subject. The follow
ing memorandum of the mobilization Of
q German squadron has been furnished:
AT n conference held at Kial
September, 1883, it was decided that
all the vessels suited to modern Wal
purposes should be kept in thorough
repair ready for immediate service
and that the complete outfit of each
vessel should be prepared and eith-
er placed on board or in separate
.storehouses close at hand: that the Off
GERS and men for each ship should be
detailed beforehand from the active
navy for ordinary service. It is expect
ed that in eight days the whole naval
force can be modified. At 9:1O A. NJ,
April %, 1884, the Chief of the Adj
miralty Won Caprivi, with his aid, ar
rived unexpectedly at Kiel, and ut / P.

late service sixteen vessels. Notice
was sent to the officers and crew accord

The painful experience of John
Mccullough in Chicago recently, when
he broke down in the middle Of his
play, recalls an incident in the life Of
the elder Booth, which some old New
Workers may still remember. He was
billed, as they say in the profession, to
appear as King Henry VIII. at the Old
Bowery Theater on q certain evening.
A large and fashionable audience as
sembied, and at the proper time the
curtain rose. As is we'll known, the
elder Booth occasionally took a drop
too much. and it was at once sewn fropY,

days ago demanding his presence in
New England for three or four weeks he

had his fears that nothing would be
done in the paving line, and that all
building would at once stop dead still.
However, the prominent citizen decid.

body rushed out to stop him and beg
him to put off his journey, and rs far as
he has since learned the council has
passed no resolutions of regret. He re-
turned the other evening, and great
was his surprise to find the city still
here. It hadn't strayed or been stolen.
The city hall hadn't tumbled down, and
he couldn't find grass growing in any of
the business streets. This was bad
enough. but as he walked up street he
met a friend, who called out:
Hello! Blank, going away?"
"No, sir; / have just returned from o

Indeed! Why, l hadn't even missed

A few steps further on he encountered
another, who was still more surprised
to hear that he had been absent, and
added:
"And the papers didn't even mention
the fact!"
The prominent citizen reached home
to find everything running us smoothly
and satisfactorily as when he left. II

WORDS or WISDOM.

It requires no small degree Of art to
know how to conceal il.
Action may not always bring happi-
ness, bat there is no happiness without
action.
As man is known by his company, so
q mans company may be known by his
manner Of expressing himself.
Any man can do casual act of good
nature, but continuation of them shows
it is part of their temperament.
We think our civilization is near its
meridian, but we are yet only at the
cock-crowing and the morning star.
The sting of every rcproachful speech
is the truth of it.; and to be conscious
is that which gives keenness to the in
vective.
We often meet with more instances of
true charity among the ignorant and
poor than among those who profess to
be Christians.
There is a gentle element, and man
may breathe 1t with calm, unruffied
soul, and drink its living waters till his
heart is pure, and this is human happi-
ness.
4 fatterer is said to be beast that
biteth smiling. But it is hard to know
them from friends, they arc so obsequi-
Gus and full of protestations. For as q
wolf resembleth dog, so doth q fiat
terer a friend.
Never did any soul do good but it
came reader to do the same again, with
moro enjoyment Never was love or
gratitude or bounty practised but with
increasing joy, which made the practicer
still more in love with the fair act.
To allow any kind of personal insult
without showing resentment or retalia-
ting by the natural consequences Of cool
ness and withdrawal is to destroy all the
safeguards of social law, and give up the
weak to the insolent tyranny of the
strong.
