The Rising and sinking of balloons.

The Rising and sinking OF balloons.
How slight an influence will move
spherical balloons floating in space is
known by the fact that the addition or
subtraction of but few pounds will
cause a considerable rising or sinking.
NJ. Lefevre, the president of the British
Saloon society, has stated that from his
personal experience he knew the release
of but one pigeon to have caused small
balloon to rise 100 feet, and Mr.. Sim
mons, in the interesting account of his
attempt to cross the channel in March,
1882, says that when over Shakespeare's
cliff, at an altitude of 500 feet he rose to
300 by merely throwing overheard ten
pounds of ballast. Hence it is reasonable
to believe that with a conoidically ended,
long, cylindrical navigable, great speed
could be obtained without using much
e-power--BlackwOod Magazine.

A Discovery of Antiquarian Interest.

A discovery Of great antiquarian in
terest was made in Aberdeen, Scotland,
not long since by n number of laborers
excavating in Ross court, one of the old
est parts of the city. Three feet under
the surface the laborers came upon a
large bronze urn filled to the brin with
silver money. The number of coins was
about $1,000, and they are in excellent
preservation. They are all English
money of the reigns of Edward I. and
Edward H., and are supposed by anti
quaries to have been part of the booty
secured during one of the raids into
England during the thirteenth century.

During the later periods Of Roman
history the men and women reclined at
their repast; but the Greeks considered
such posture indecorous for females;
their women, therefore, either sat at n
separate table or upon one end of the
couch on which the men only reclined.

culsivating the curious 11ermos Oak.

The botanical gardens, London, have
succeeded in cultivating the curious
kermes oak (quercus cocifera), which,
when punctured by one of the coccus in
sects produces the ancient blood-red dye,
supposed to have been used by Moses to
tint the hangings of the taberncle. The
kerInes oak is a dwarf, bushy shrub,
somewhat resembling a holly, and grows
profusely in Spain. Chicago News.

Clardy RenOminated

1t used to be believed that the Office
should seek the man, but in these
pushing days the maxim has been al
most universally disregarded and the
man who does not scramble, and push
and lie. very rarely gets there.
But the old rule has not been entire
~ forgotten, and is not altogether ig
nored. When men do their whole duty
and when their good qualities and fine
work are known, their conduct is some
times appreciated and rewarded.
This is illustrated by the unanimous
and uncontested denomination of the
Hon. Martin L. Clardy for Congress
from this district by the convention in
st. Louis last week.
Mr.. Clardy made no canvass, used
no effort, asked no support-in fact, al
one time intended not to return to
Washington. But his eight years
honest, efficient and able service for the
whole people, as their Representative,
has borne proper fruit in his spon-
taneous denomination, which is equiv
alent to reelection.
He is now one of the known and rec
ognized leaders OF the House. His
country and his constituents know him
as safe and able man, and his cleo
ton is q conceded fact. Southeast
Missouri may well be proud of her
favorite son, and time alone will tell to
what..honor he will be promoted. We
