EITz.JoHN PoRTER's BALLOON.
A Dangerous Ride Over the confed'
crate Army in War Time.

81 suppose You never heard of Fitz-
John Porler's balloon ride" said an
old army officer the other day to
an Atlanta Constitution reporter,
"Well," he continued, at was one of
the most romantic events in the life
of that gallant soldier. lie was with
Mcclellan in the Peninsular campaign
and was distinguished for his intelli-
gent activity. Porter conceived the
idea that balloons could be made very
useful in accommodating and at his
request Gen. Mcclellan obtained the
necessary equipment for This service
The balloon and the apparatus for the
manufacture of the gas were procured
without much difficulty, but an aero
naut was not so easy to obtain. Some
OF the officers of the engineer corpse
agreed TO make the first trip in the
balloon, which was to afford view
of the Confederate operations. Porter
watched their preparations with keen
interest. Just as they had every
thing ready he stepped into the bas-
ket of the clumsy gas bag to see that
everything had been properly prepar-
ed. While he was examining the
machine it slipped from the grip OF
the men who held it and shot like an
arrow up into the air, carrying Por-
ter as its lone iaSsenger. lie had
never been in balloon before and
knew nothing whatever about man
aging one. A stiff breeze was blow
ling, and the great bulb flew like a
bird away from the astonished camp
until it became mere speck i'll the
sky, and then faded completely from
sight. Not man who watched 1t
disappear expected that he would
ever sec Porter alive again. lie
started on his wild flight at Z O'Clock
in the morning. The day wore away
with the camp in state of great
commotion over the probable death Of
its favoritc officer. When night
came and nothing had been seen Of
the balloon. it was the general con
viction that Porter had either beer
killed by fall from his balloon OF
had been captured by the Confeder
ates. About daybreak next morning
a picket challenged a man comm!
toward the federal line and momen
later recognized Gen. Porter. Iii

water was up to my shoulders when
l stood up. Fully realizing that
whatever did must be done in
few minutes more, else the poor fell
low would drown, l snatched the
Ratchet from Browns hand and, div
ing, tried to cut under the shell, to
break the creatures anchorage on the
rock With might and main | cut
and hacked-then rose an instant for
brcath-lhen down and at it again.
But it seemed as though | could not
cut through the tough muscle. -Four
times | dived and, with frantic haste,
cut at those tough byssi.
ut stirs y at length Brown cried,
bracing his weight on his free foot
and lifting at it.
Then with final blow the byssus
was severed, and the buoyancy ofthe
water aiding us, we dragged the great
mollusk-still fast to Browns ankle
back to higher ground OH the reef.
Here the water was waist deep, how
ever, and | looked anXiously around
for Mac, in the lakatoi. To my mex
pressible joy he was close at hand,
and between us we lifted Brown,
with his now captured captor, into
the canoe. Even then we could not,
both of us together, pry the valves of
the shell apart enough to release
Browns foot, till with a knife we
had reached in and completely divid-
ell the tridacen-sawing asunder the
hinge muscles at the base of the BIZ
valve. 1t was truly gigantic clam ;
and as a poetic retribution upon il
for this attempt OH the life of one OF
our party we ate portion ofits flesh
for our supper, but found ii rather
tough.
Browns ankle was severely bruised
and wrenched, and he suffered fol
many a day from the vice-like griI
of the huge mollusk.-Youth's Com

TIED UP THE GAS.
An Aged countryman Who Didn't
Propose to Take Chances.

"rhey almost always want to blow
ont the gas" said hotel clerk, "but
that old fellow" pointing to an old
gentleman sitting in the window
twas smart enough to know thatwas
not necessary. When lie woke up
this morning about o'clock he open
ed his door and began calling for the
porter. One of the bell-boys went to
him and was told to bring up piece
of rag. The boy procured it, and,
anxious to know what the old man
wanted, he hung around the door.
There was a very faint odor Of gas
pervading the premises, and as the
boy looked through the kcy-hole he
saw the old man mount chair and
unwind a homc-knit wooden sock
from the CASH lrner and then wind
the reg tightly around it in place OF
the ok. "Sorry to trouble YOU" he
said, when he came down, "but the
pesky thing was taking and / want.
ed to use my sock. 1 guess I'd been
smothered if l hadn't kinder traced
the smell to that thing and then
struck the idea of stopping it by
winding something around it," He
was taken upstairs and shown how
the "pesky thing" worked, but was
not satisfied and insisted that it was
IA burned sight safer to tie the thing
up."-Chicago News.

convinced by the eloquence Of his
friend that he had been thus very
far amiss, and expressed contrition
for the fault confessed ending with
offering himself to the lady, telling
her she could not certainly reject him
after pointing out to him his heinou'

The lady replied that she would bC

PULL MY LEG"
A Lady's Strange Request That
Startled a Sturdy Policeman.


One of the officers who protect Pc
destrians and keep vehicles in order
at the corner of Clark and Randolph
streets, had demand made on him
to-day for which no provision was
made in Chief Ebersold's assignment.
Two well dressed ladies were round
ing the cape of the Ashland Block,
when banana peel, that lay in am
bush there, brought one of them
prone. The officer came to her aid
valiontly, but was startled nearly out
of his boots when she said: "Pull my
leg, will you, please? Pull my leg"
To say that he was startled is to
put it very mildly. Mayor Harrison
in all of his glory never required
such service from any of the force
Leg-pulling did not appear in the
manual of training for city police
The club-swinger was big enough
strong enough, and brave enough tC
pull the leg of any man. But thi:
was another matter altogether. AT
fecting to misunderstood, he took Tho
lady by the arm, with the remark
"Will you let me help you, madam ?
"No, don't! Pull my leg, say
Pull my leg, can't you?
The officer let the arm drop Instantly
He was thunderstruck. lie backet
off and wiped great beads of perspir
alton from his reeking brow. A
this moment the second lady came t.
| his assistance. She seized one of tn
pedal extremities of her prostrat
companion and gave it vigorou
pull. The leg came off. 1t was
cork leg. The fall had disarrange
the knee adjustment, and pull wa
needed to set it right.

July II, 1856.
Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Saturday, July 10th, was the day
appointed by the candidates TO adj
dress the people at this place. Many
of them arrived here Friday night
and by the time the chronometer had
struck the ninth hour of the day,
the town was full of people, some
thirsting for knowledge others for
soda pop (?) perhaps, but owing to
the rain in the Afternoon only two
spoke, Harry Ferguson and Jno. w.
Payne. Just then the rain began to
fall and if any mans temperature
had reached 100 degrees, faith, it was
reduced to normal by his wet clothes.
The matrimonial races from here
to Tennessee were opened up Satur-
day by Rev. II. Earl and Peggie Hop
son, COL, clipping to Springfield, where
they were married. Earl is barber
here and by his politeness and keen
razors he has gained customers suffi
cient TO support him and a better
half and we trust he may ever be
happy with his choice.

rocks that slid down on the track,
