A Balloon Adventures:

Balloons are frequently used in war
time for the purpose OF observing the
position and movements of theenemy,
and they were resorted to by our army
while it was on the Peninsula during
the war between the North and South.
One balloon was handled by q detail
from the Fourth Maine Regiment, and
writer in the Grand Army Senti-
mel tells of an adventure which befell
it and which was saved from disas-
tro us ending by soldier named John.
While there was no particular qualifi-
cation in Johns habits that would
make him hero, still he is the hero
of this tale.
One fine day, when al, the army was
at rest, and the balloon corps were
lounging about waiting orders, they
were aroused by the arrival of Gen.
Porter The general was very much
in earnest, and very much ina hurry,
could not wait for the head and mana
ger of the flying ship, who was absent,
but must take a trip into the upper
atmosphere to reconnoitre the enc
my's lines. To his request, which was
command, there was no refusal.
Movements of the balloon during its
fight were controlled by rope reach
ing the ground and securely fastened
to astake All being ready, thegener-
al stepped i'll and was allowed to move
slowly and surely towards the clouds.
! Everything ran smoothly until the
fullextent of the line was reached, when
snap went therope and away went the
general By some accident there had
been n few drops of the acid used i'll
generatinggas spilled on therope, max
ing it worthless; so when the strain
came it parted.
Porter was frantic. He was drifted
towards the rebel lines, and in his ex-
element was as helpless as a child.
At this point my hero came to the
front, with the requisite quality for
saving the general from an inglorl Gus
fight over the eDemy's camp. John
was blessed with an immense pair of
lungs, and they were in splendid condi-
ton. From a boy he had been noted
for his ability to make noise, and he
also had a good, honest, generous
share of mouth.
TO these twogifts ofnature was Gen
Porter indebted for his relief from his
unpleasant situation. All signs and
verbal instructions as to what he
should do to get down were afailure,
until John was called upon,
One shout was enough Pull that
1000 ,~x-,r ..r,,, haaAf' The Upnppll
heard ard obeyed Yes, and he pulled
with will, for he entirely collapsed the
balloon, and down became like a shot.
1t was a fearful moment; allexpectod
to see him dashed to atoms. But he
was reserved for another fate. For
tune was with him, for the balloon
came plump down on to a sibley tent,
and the general stepped forth from the
wreck safe and sound, butrather badly
shaken.

An Old-Time Faith Curer.

As long ago as we can remember,
says the Iaverhill Gazette, an impos-
ing individual used to travel about
New York state and Connecticut
mostly in the rual MISUNDERSTANDING
sacred things by healing in the
name of the Father and the Son and
the Holy Ghost" He took a goodly
number of well-worn cast off canes
and crutches with him as convincing
proofof his powers, which were always
displayed at the country hotel where
he stopped. Patients came for miles
to be healed, and we are informed
that they always left their clutches
and canes when they returned. In
one case, an old lady had been bed
ridden for years, and this great healer
was summoned to cure her one even
ing. He entered the room bearing q
tatlow candle, placed his hand upon
her head and commanded her TO arise
and walk She told him firmly and con-
clusively that she Wouldn't, and after
repeating his solemn command three
times with no avail, the doctor lost his
patience and said: "Then perish in the
flames, suiting his action to the words
by attempting to set fire to the bed with
the convenient candle. Thereupon, the
old lady, who had not walked for
many years, jumped up, ran to the
kitchen and threatened to drive the
doctor from the house with and up
lifted broom; This is but one OF the
remarkable mind cures performed at
that period. The present sv"'~~
rather more aesthetic and :
le2ious. but no douf
somewhat similar.

Presidential Misunderstanding.

From the Washington Post.
In the social observance spoken OF
by French writer as "le shak hands, z
the president of the United States be-
comes an expert. Lincoln always
seemed to see the humorous side OF
being thus saluted by thousand peo-
pie at time, and he entered into it
with sort of funny abandon, his lips
slightly apart and smile on his face,
as ii the ceremony had about as much
real significance as tossing bean
bags at a sewing circle. He had
a aforementioned double-shake
of the pump handle variety, the
second OF the series carrying the
visitors hand about afoot lower than
the first to his great surprise. On one
or two occasions there was comical
interlude, when the shaker would turn
suddenly and say, "What dye do that
for?"
Mr.. Cleveland has, in his varied ca
reer as Sheriff, Mayor, Governor and
President, acquired what may be cali
ed the shake adaptable-a flexibleges-
ture, capable of fitting itself To the
purpose of the guest.
Warm to the iervcnt, to the distant cool.
1t keeps him pretty lively, though,
for at recent reception where there
were some 800 callers / observed the
development of at least seventy differ
ent sorts of shakes. There were the
shake obsequious down the presi-
dents waistband), the shake

shake humble, the shake inquisi-
tive, the shake familiar, the
shake reassuripg, the shake concilia:
tory, the shake perfunctory, the shake
hearty, the shake timorous, the shake
condescending, the agricultural yibra-
ton, the scholastic wobble, the con-
vivial wigggle and the plain shake.
sI'm sorry for you!" whispered one
of the guests at the beginning of the
ordeal. The salutation was quite too
ambiguous, on the heel OF recent
events, and the president shot back
at him, "You needn't bel"
/ remember my wife once asking Mr..
Lincoln if it didn't tire him to come
down and let everybody shake him,
after having worked all the morning
at his desk up stairs.

next conner.

Lotteries In Prussia.

A report recently submitted to the
Landtag gives the appended interest
ing information about the character
and capital of lotteries in Prussia:
From January / 1880, to January /,
1885, the Government has authorized
special lotteries to the amount OF 49,,
GOO. 600 marks. Foreign lotteries
figure in this list for one-third OF this
sum. The prizes were composed OF
merchandise to the amount of TO-
500, 900 marks, and money amount
ing to T.4S0,000 marks. The mes-
chandise lotteries give only about ten
per cent. profit, which is very small
when one considers what enormous
sums are put in motion. The money
lotteries give as high as AZ per cent.
profit. II is to these latter that are
due such remarkable works as the
completion of the Cologne Cathedral.
Classifying the lotteries by objects, We
find that 10 per cent. ofthem were or
eanixed for charitable and benevolent
purposes. 3 per cent. in aid ofagricul-
ture, z per cent. for art, per cent. for
pious works, and 3 per cent. for gen
eral utility"

The Elements of First Glass
Romance.
Corr. Chicago News.

Washington Corr. Chicago News.
There is lying on the presidents ta-
BILE an application for the pardon of
Charles Doughty, n United States
prisoner at the Chester, ILL.,, peniten-
tiary The story of Doushty's arrest
and Imprisonment embodies the ele-
ments of q first class romance. Sever
al years ago a regiment of rangers WAS
formed in Texas to repel the Indian
invasions along the border. Doughty,
an adventurous youth of twenty, en-
listed. At the expiration of several
months the regiment was disbanded.
Some OF the men, notably Doughty,
were 800 miles from home. They were
penniless and desperate. One night
Doughty and two of his friends rode
out of town and stopped a stage coach
filled with passengers. They made off
with their booty unhai med, but were
captured within twenty-four hours and
lodged in jail. Pending the trial a let
ter reached Doughty from his home in
another section of the state. 1t con-
tanned the intelligence that his mother
was dying and desired tos see her baby,
he being the youngest child, before she
died. Doughty made frantic efforts
to obey the mothers summons, but
without avail. until a kind hearted
saloon keeper in the town to quote
the language of the afidavits, said he
would ego $500 on the boy anyway"
He accordingly offered that amount
for Doughty's bail. 1t was accepted
and the boy reached home in time to
receive his mothers blessing. The
funeral over he prepared to return to
prison again. His relatives urged him
to fly the country, but herefused. He
said he had committed robbery in a
moment OF desperation and while un-
der the influence OF liquor; but he
would not betray friend, no matter
what the sacrifice might be- And so
he went back to prison, pleaded guilty
to the charge of highway robbery and
was sentenced to serve eight years at
hard labor in the penitentiary. He
has served half his term, and the en-
tire Texas delegation, as well as other
prominent citizens of the state, are
using their influence to have the re-
manning four years RENTED, on the
ground that he has been sufficiently
punished.

waking Lincoln Out of Bed.

From the Philadelphia News.
Zone night one Of our corresnand.
ents returned from the front with some
very important information; so i'm.
portant, indeed, thai we were afraid
TO give 1t TO the public without con
suittng the authorities. There was
hfst to consider the danger its publi-
cation might bring to the Union cause.
ana second, which was not without it's
weight with us, thed danger we ourselves
might run. 1t was very easy in those
days to get into the old Capital pris-
on, and notwithstanding the close
connection of the Chronicle with the
Administration the War Department
had before shown that its reporters
and correspondents would have ex-
actly the same treatment as any 9th.
ers II they were found to be at fault.
After 1consultation it was decided
to take the news direct to
the White House, that course being
preferred to going to Mr.. Stanton at
such an hour, for reasons which will
be readily understood by all who re-
member the great War Secretary. By
this time it was near to morning. and
the President, was, OF course, in bed.
1t was insisted that he be awakened,
and when he learned what was wished,
ne gave orders that the Chronicle
boys come up stairs. He received
them III the cabinet room. His APP
pearance Is never to be forgotten.
1t was one OF the darkest periods
OF the war, and the deep burrows OF
care were most prominent on his face.

He had on slippers, but no stockings.
The correspondent explained the pur.
pose OF the untimely visit, and handed
the President a paper upon which he
had written out the particulars of his
information. Mr.. Lincoln's face grew
even sadder as he read. Never
before did he seem so tail
and lank and ungainly. After
moment he said: i thank you very
much gentlemen, for bringing this to
me. 1t would have worked great harm
hadit been published Upon stand
hung a large map, and Mr.. Lincoln
walking toward it continued: Come
here and | will point out to you the
position OF the forces and explain as
we'll as can what this news indicates
He went on at considerable length
and displayed thorough familiarity
with all the movements of the armies.
We could have listened to him for
hours, and he would have detained
us much longer than we remained,
but 1t was necessary 20 get back as
quickly as possible to the Office, where
a crowd OF type-setters were waiting
ourreturn. Mr.. Lincoln evinced not
the slightest displeasure orimpatience
at being called out of his bed. He
could not have treated the newspaper
men more courteously.

Different Sorts of Actors.

George c. Min, the alleged actor and
ex-preacher, describing theexper,snces
of travelling theatre companies, draws
this contrast between different sorts
of actors: A travelling company as it
actually is is good field for the study
of human nature. It's vicissitudes
bring out all the weakness and many
of the beauties of human character.
The relation of the travelling "star"
to his people is controlled altogether
by the character of the "star" II he
is an autocratic ass he will make his
people hate him; if he lets down all
bars of personal dignity and self-re-
spect he will make them despise him.
Let him be simply man-without
pretense; firm, not arrogant, exacting,
not tyrannical-and he will enjoy that
measure of peace which the popularity
OF the life admits. There will be in
every company one or two of the noble
army of kickers. That is to be ex-
pected. For them the wind is always
in the east, the shade always on the
wrong side of the street. had one in
a company once who was infinitely
worse than the varied plague which
overlook the Egyptians in the time OF
Moses. No room in the hotel suited
her; no berth in the sleeper; no one
bowed low enough before her majesty,
nor carried enough bundles for her.
Everything was always wrong How
pleasant such folks are, and what
delightful business this is to develop
their peculiarities in. On the other
hand, we see much gentleness and
beauty of personal life on the stage.
Self-sacrifice, quiet endurance ofhard-
ship, gentleness of manner under cir
cumstances calculated to anger an
angel, and pathetic devotion to a com
rade il the hour of need. / have seen
an actress empty her purse and strip
off every article of jewelry in order to
extricate a company of fellow-players
from trouble, and laugh gayly while
she did it, Such actions are heroic.
The heroism of peace, but still hero
