Much to buy and little to spend;

A brilliant thought popped into his head:
Try the "How-to- be-Happy firm" it said
When he reached the door and looked within
Our big assortment made him grin.
There were best new goods, pile after pile,
And he felt himself compelled to smile.
Our prices he found were cheaper by half
Which pleased him so he had to laugh.
There was nothing he saw he couldn't afford.
We gave him such bargains he fairly roared.

squitoes under certain circumstances,
and I heard reports which I believed to
be well founded, both from Indians and
trustworthy white persons, that the great
brown bear erroneously but commonly
called the grizzly of these regions is
at times compelled to succumb to these
insects. The statement seems almost
preposterous, but the explanation is COM
paratively simple. Bruin, having ex-
hausted all roots and berries OF the
mountain, or finding them scarce, thinks
he will cross the valley to another range,
or perhaps it is the odor of salmon
washed up along the rivers banks that
attracts him. Covered with a heavy fur
on his body, his eyes, nose and ears are
the vulnerable points for mosquitoes, and
here of course, they congregate in the
greatest numbers, At last, when he
reaches swampy stretch, they raise in
myriads, until his forepaw is kept so
busy as he strives to keep his eyes clear
of them. that he can not walk, whereup-
on he becomes enraged, and, bear-hke,
raised upon his launches to fight. 1t is
now mere question of time until the
bears eyes becomes SO swollen from the
innumerable bites as to render him per-
fectly blind, when he wanders helplessly
about until he gets mired in the mud
and StaryeS to death.

Balloons as Engines of War.

N-~~-o~-~~Ss
It lis probably as an engine of war that
navigable balloon will first assert it's
importance, and in that respect it is hard
to see how its value can be over estimat-
ed. Reviewing very shortly the valuable
use that has been already made of cap
tive { j. e. attached by a rope to the
earth and of free balloons ii. g., bal
looms floating at the mercy of such a
current as, at different strata of the
atmosphere, they may happen to en-
counter) we can scarcely fail to be i'm
pressed by the infinite value of naviga
BILE balloon, if only as means of recon-
noisance. The use of captive balloons
for this purpose is by no means of recent
date. In Marshal Jourdan's in 1894, at
Fleurus, notwithstanding a high wind,
two most useful observations of from
three to four hours duration were made.
The French admit that these had great
moral effect in encouraging their own
men and dispiriting the enemy, who felt
that their positions and the movement
of their troops could not be concealed.
Again, in the Italian campaign of 1859,
the French made use of balloons. The
eronaut, GODDARD, was employed, and re-
connoitered most usefully from Mont
golfer the day before Solferino. Gen.
Mcclellan in the civil war in America.
found the intelligence given to him on
October 4, 1861, by the aronaut, La
Mountain, of the utmost Importance"
On ascending from the camp he had
boldly cut the retaining rope, rose to a
height of one and half miles, and float
ed over the enemy's line, being 'en-
abled to make perfect observation of
their position and their movements" By
changing his altitude he got back with
favorable current and made his highly
favorable report. During the whole Of
the battle OF Chickahominy the general
held successful telegraphic communica-
ton with Prof. loves balloon. which
safely lowered over the enemy's line at
an altitude of 1000 feet.

Not Birds of Feather.

dlOduy Argus.
Mention of athletic sports suggests
Richard X. Fox, whose name appears
frequently as stakeholder and prize
giver. He has just concluded not to die
yet, although for a month or two the
outlook was the other way If he had
died he would have left fortune of half
a million so wickedly obtained, as many
readers will think, that his future state
would not have been conjectural. He
bought the Police Gazette for $500
when it was about to stop, revived it
chiefly by means of making hobby of
the ruder pastimes, and has in seven
years made fortune to be ashamed of.
But he isn't ashamed, and his building,
emblazoned with the immense signs,
stands directly across Franklin square
from the Harper Brothers. Needless to
say, there is little sympathetic inter
course between the two concerns George
William Curtis, editor of Harpers' Week
ly, and Fox, of the Police Gazette, may
well be regarded as the antipodes of
journalism. I was once aboard of a
Staten Island train when they sat in ad-
joining seats. With Fox was Kenward
Philip, of his staff, whose death has
been followed by many anecdotes of wag-
gerry. 81 beg your pardon, said Philip
very politely, touching Curtis on the
arm, ''but let me introduce you to a
neighbor and llow-journalist. Though
rivals in business you ought to know
each other pleasantly"
Curtis turned half round saw a we'll
dressed, carefully -mustached man, to
whom he extended his hand.
"And who is it that I have the pleas
ure of knowing?" he asked, in his char
acteristic manner of affable dignity.
"Mr. Fox, of the Police Gazette" re-
sponded Philip, in equal courtliness
1--WE are going to a scrapping match not
more than a mile or two from your resi-
dence, and would be really delighted to
have you 60 along" The conversation
ended right there.
