The balloon corps employed by Gen
eral Gordon to reconnoitre Osman
Digna's movements represents force
which may hereafter become formida-
bly, effective in modern warfare, although
the date of it's first utilization in this way
comes almost within the memory Of some
men still living. The earliest appearance
Of balloons in war was during the siege
of fortress in northern France by the
Austro-Prussian invaders of 1894, when
a daring @ronaut thoroughly surveyed the
Austrian lines in the teeth Of heavy but
wholly Intellectual fire directed against him
by an enraged enemy, The balloon COM
munication kept up with the outside world
by Paris during the German blocade Of
1870 is still fresh in the public memory.
Poor Col. Burnaby, one Of the boldest
@rouauts of his time, had daring theories
about the possible use of balloons in war,
which his own feats amply justified. The
project Of freighting balloon with small
bombs and dropping them into the enemy's
ranks, has been repeatedly mooted but not
yet tested by actual experiment.

We clip the following good idea upon
much talked of topic:
"The best men are we'll aware that
women are their best coadiutors in all
good works. Meanwhile, in every de-
partment of life and labor woman shows
herself capable Of production worthy Of
the high responsibility she carries about
the world. When once she is better
educated in methods, when she learns 70
suppress the emotional nature cultivated
for centuries by the position she has held
we shall see mutual appreciation be-
tween men and women that exists at pres
ent only between individuals. Men and
women will be friends, and comrades.
and co-workers, without reference to
sex; congeniality and a common cause
will be basis of friendship. Girls
should be taught to make the most of their
talents, and then to lead the lives before
them with singleness Of purpose; whether
those lives be within the limits of home or
in broad fields and highways where men
and women toll together for maintenance,
and for the highest development attainable
by the human species.

Grafton which entities the families to the
position which the writer Of this book
gives them, is wealth; either inherited
wealth, or wealth acquired by the wit, or
industry OF the persons presented to the
reader Such book, it may be supposed.
will stir the ever progressive spirit Of
young America, to imitation SO far as mere
money getting or money making is con-
cerned; but will it stir the spirit of learn
ing or Of pains-taking enterprise that the
Well-wishers of young America desire SO
much to see kept in motion? Further
back then generation or two, it has been
said, Americans have no ancestors. AS a
contradiction to this assertion, there are
American families for five or six qener-
ations represented upon the annals of the
University Of Virginia and also upon the
records of Yale College. In such families,
we'll and thoroughly educated, we believe
a trained intellect, a 8ystematized energy,
calls forth enlarged powers and excellence.
There may be also in such individuals a
shrewdness Of money making, but this in
gredient in character is not the kind of
higher power that would entitle one to be
"frst" in the highest positions of life. A
view Of humanity from such a standard is
surely detrimental.
Natural power, with the highest cult
walton of the schools, added to practical
sense, to energy and perseverance, these
characteristics have descended through
many generations in some American fami-
lies, and families will ever be held "frst"
who carry this esprit de corps as it were,
on through line of descendants the esprit
ofthe principal that not money makes the
man or woman powerin even this money
making age; but it is intellect, cultivation,
practical wisdom and perseverance,. These
characteristics carefully preserved and
shaped with that honor and uprightness
which should be so inherent part Of ones
nature, that it is individual these make the
noblemen. This then, we hold, all books Of
moneyed " first families " to the contrary,
this is the lineage that generation after
generation of careful rearing and education
makes the actual American first families.

Imprisoned Twenty-Five Years without
Trial-The Victim now Working on the
Cham Gang at Springfield.
The following appeared in Sundays En-
qnirer:
The British Minister at Washington has in
formed the Governor, with all due formality,
that he has received a telegram from one
John Smith (colored) and an attorney, claim
ing that he has been detained in the Ohio
Penitentiary for the past twenty Eve years
without warrant, and never having been sc-
corded fair trial As British subject he
asked that his case be investigated and that
he be released. The prison authorities were
Long reports that there are twenty y-fve John
Smiths in the prison, and that something
more definite will have to be known about
the man before anything can he done. TIE
English representative in this country We,
informed OF what had been done, by Private
Secretary Green, and was assured that the
case would receive further attention on the
return of the Governor from New Orleans.
1t will be remembered that 4 little over a
week ago, colored man named Smith was
arrested here, and on the way to the station
house threw away a silver watch. Since that
time he has been working out his fine on the
chain-gang. 1t appears that this is the man
refer ed 10 in the Enquirer, and that he sent
this communication to the British Minister,
from Columbus, on the 9Th of this
month. A reporter interviewed Smith
on the subject yesterday morning, and
listenei to u story, which, II it could be be-
lieved, would be ample proof that truth is
stranger than fiction. The substance OF the
interview is as follows:
He was born in Canada in 1912; was taken
to the Ohio penitentiary from GAINESVILLE in
1860 where he remained four years and eight
months. He was released in 1865, and, in
the same year, was taken back to prison from
Ravenna and served ten months. After his
release this time he was captured at Warren
Scarcely had he completed this sentence when
he was again sent up from Toleio for two
years and eight months. As soon as lie go
out he went to Akron and was soon sent back
again for time of seventeen years and sil
months. The last place where this uniortu.
nate got into trouble was at Nor
walk, whence he was sent ~
for fonr years and two months. In ell ,hes'
csses he claims that he was never convicted
tried, or even accused Of any crime. Wber
asked how he could be imprisoned withou
trial, he said he didu't know, but such wal
the case. Az soon ss he gets off the chair
gang be intends to call the attention of tn
British Minister to his case once more. Thcs
are the bare outlines of Smiths story bu
they are sufficient to show that he is suffering
from as bad case Of "cracked' as one oitel
finds. The truth Of the matter is, probably
that he served long term in prison, wbic
has affected his mind. He is quiet 10 hi
manner, and talks about his supposed falls

CURES FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some effection OF the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times, symptoms OF
indigestion are present, latulency, uneasiness
Of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like per-
spiration, producing very dissgreeable Itch
ing, after getting warm, is a common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application OF DR..
Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
effecting permanent cure. Price SO cents.
