On Earth Again.

A very rich story, the irreverence or
irreligion of which may DO readily
pardoned, Is going the rounds Of the
Southern press and Is worthy of
telling. Shortly after the war circus

darkies had ever seen q balloon as

have been more wonder-stricken II
If Elijah himself aud chariot had
been ascending on their heavenward
journey right there. When all
preliminaries had been arranged tho
aeronaut got into the basket, the ropes
were cut, and the gas-flled silk bag
shot upward. The negroes watched
II until IL went up out Of sight and
looked at one another with many
mutterings and misgiviDRs. They
didn't understand II, aud the "show"
did poor business, as the dsrkies
could not be induced to go under the
tent-They were afraid of being
"conjured."
After the balloon had gone up cou-
pie of thousand feet II encountered
strong current of air, upon which the
aeronaut concluded 10 descend, being

when they saw this great, brilliant

from the sky above they were panic

that the world was coming 10 an end,

The Good Old Rebels

The boy who fought in Gordon.

in Virginia, Is gray aud grizzled now
but the worn old paper that shows
his parole is to him more prec-
ious than a patent Of nobility. The
victors have the spoils aud we be,
grudge them nothing. We are not
paupers, and, though more OF them
, are drawing pensions tnan were ever
in our armies at any one time, yet
we cheerfully pay our percentage OF
their salaries. Their conduct is an
unwilling tribute to our bravery In
battle, and our manhood under the
crushing defeat we suffered. LIT
Corporal Tanner pile pensions as
much as he pleases, the fact still re-
mains that had Gen. Lee ever COM
manded at one time half the number
of the present pensioners, he would
have subjugated the whole North
aud made 1t province of the South
ern Confederacy. Aud every new
pension adds to the glory of the old
Rebels. 1t has been nearly 80 years
since the war began, aud besides
those who were killed outright and
those who have died since, there
seems to be enough wounded and
crippled ones left to have wiped us
from the face of the earth If they had
been equals in any element of man
hood. Better armed, better equipped,
better fed and better clothed, with
a numerous people behind them aud
all the world for a storehouse, 1t
seems strange that the ragged Reb
els" should have been so deadly, aud
the Grand Army Of the republic so
little capable of INJECTING EARN In
battle or caring for itself in time Of
peace. There are not thousand ex-
Confederates askingIcharity In all the
land. There are half million of
the other side now drawing pensions,
and as many more to come. : Falcon.
