Exciting Balloon Adventure.

An exciting balloon adventure WAS
witnessed at Dover. The occupants
OF the balloon, who had a narrow es-
cape with their lives, were Captain
Dale, A. Crane and F. Carew. The
balloon which started from the neigh
borhood of Folkestone, was first
sighted at Dover at about o'clock.
1t was then sailing at a great altitude
ever the neighborhood of Shakes
peare's cliff, and was being driven to-
ward the castle before a fresh westerly
wind. The occupants of the car it
was noticed, were discharging great
quantity of ballast, apparently hav-
ing some difficulty in keeping the bal
loon up. Soon after it had passed
over Dover Castle it was seen that
something was wrong. and that the
balloon was descending very rapidly.
At tins time the aeronauts were over
the channel, about two miles from the
shore, and the utmost excitement pre-
vailed in the town, the people assem-
bling in great numbers on the piers
and sea front. The balloon con-
tinued to descend very rapidly, for
the moment sinking and then being
dragged through the water. Several
boats put offfromshore but they were
unable to get anywhere near the bal
loon. owing to the rapid rate at which
the wind carried it. Mr.. Reader, the
Captain of the Dover tug Granville,
who went to the rescue, saws his at
tention was first drawn to a balloon
at about S o'clock. It was then de-
scending very rapidly off the shore be-
tween the convict barracks and the
South Foreland. Seeing the danger
GUS situation of the aeronauts he at
once weighed anchor at the Admiralty
pier and proceeded at full speed to
the spot. One OF the London Steam
Navigation Company's steamers, the
Sir. Walter Raleigh, which had just left
the Admiralty pier with passengers for
kamsgate, also gave chase, the great
est. excitement prevailing among the
passengers. The balloon struck the
water a little to the westward of the
South Foreland lights and the car
sank. Il was feared that the occu-
pants were lost, as the, balloon went
over on her side and rolled about a.
good deal on the water, but the men
were soon seen clinging to The. ropes
and signaling for assistance, Al
though the tide was setting in The oppo-
site direction, the balloon, was impell-
I'd through the water. by the wind at q
great rate, and the tug gained on them
very slowly The mon were seen to be

Working for Comb Honey.

NJ A very great part Of success in secur.
ing comb honey depends on the condi-
( tionof the brood chamber at the COM
mencement Of tie honey harvest. If
there be a surplus Of room in the low
I or pat Of the hire, and the bees COM
mence storing honey there, il. is hard
to force them in a new direction. The
/ brood chamber proper should be kept
full OF brood, regardless of the number
OF frames it may contain. This Of
course can only be done by the use of
division boards, and should be COM
menced early IN the season, by remov-
ing allsextra frames of comb which the
bees cannot readily cover. No extra
rooms should be given, until the queen
has filed the frames quite full, when
other frame may be added inserting
it IN the center Of the cluster, thus in
citing the queen and bees TO extra ex-
ertion Of thb cluster. This NAV be
repeated from time TO time until the

Don't ScOld.

For the sake OF your children, don't
do it. It is a great misfortune to
have children reared in the presence
and under the influence of O. scold.
The effect OF the everlasting complain
ing and fault-fnding of such persons is
to make the young who hear it I'M
amiable, malicious, callous-heArted,
and they often learn to take pleasure
in doing the very thing for which they
receive such tongue-lashings. As they
are always getting the blame of wrong
doing, whether they do it or not, they
think they might as well do wrong as
right. They lose all ambition to strive
for the favorable opinion OF the fault
finder, since they see they always
strive in vain. Thus q scold is not
only a nuisance, but destroyer of
the morals of children. If these I'M
loved, dreaded people could only see
themselves as others see them they
would flee to the mountains in very
shame.

alarmed at his aspect. But before he
could utter q word in reply, a man

that q messenger was waiting to know

opened the envelope half-absently,
glanced hurriedly at the contents, and

ton which apparently relieved his
over wrought feelings. After stridln1

to their liking, and Mr.. Bayard was only la
menting that the Senate had taken action
that made it impossible to set in operation
the continuance which the British minister
had devised to secure for the Canadians just
what they were after.
We make no complaint of the Secretary's
action in the Cutting matter. If the princi-
pie is involved that he says the United
States should maintain a firm attitude,
no matter how worthless fellow Cut
ting may be. But we cannot but consider it
unfortunate that this vigorous policy main
tanned against a weak power like Mexico
follows so close upon the milk and water
policy maintained against a great power like
England 1t tends to make us appear like
a nation of bullies-arbitrary and overbear-
ing to our interiors, but exceedingly cour-
teous and considerate to our equals. That is
character in which the people Of this coun-
try do not care to figure.
The Portland daily press., 1886-08-06
A CONTRAST.

This fierce zeal of Secretary Bayard to vim
dictate the rights of an American citizen i'm
prisoned in Mexico, which leads him to rush
down to the House and urge Perry Belmont
and the committee on foreign relations to
adopt and introduce into the House set of
resolutions of which he himself is the author,
endorsing the determined policy adopted by
the administration, and urging its continu-
ance is in marked contrast to the calmness
which the Secretary preserved while the prop
erty of American citizens was being seized
and condemned by the Canadians under a
construction of treaty which we did not
assent to. When our vessels were refused
commercial privileges in Canadian ports that
were freely accorded to Canadian vessels in
our ports Mr.. Bayard never for moment
lost his temper. For long while he hardly
manifested even languid interest in the
subject, and letters to his department COM
planning of indignities received from the Ca
nadians, and humbly inquiring if our fisher
men had any rights which anybody was
bound to respect were either not answered at
all, or answered in a way that left the in
quirer as much in the dark as he was before.
1t required many weeks of jabbing by the
organs of his party to rouse him to anything
like positive stand in behalf of the rights
of American fishermen, worthy and hard
working class of citizens, who had always
deserved well Of their country.
But over this man Cutting, scapegrace
who, If he had his deserts would now be do
ing service for his country inside peni-
Tertiary, Mr.. Bayard fires up with grea
celebrity. He sees great principle involved
which the United States must maintain at all
hazards. 1t took him several months appar-
entity to see that there was any principle in
volved in the controversy with Canada.
The Canadians were subjecting our citizens
to all sorts of indignities and Selling their
property on all sorts of pretexts in order to
force our government to make new treaty

The people of the State endorsed this plan
as far as they could do so by the pas

payment Of its expenses, and it is doubtless
the wish of large majority that the plan
shall have fair trial. The Knights have
