GAM8E711,s FAMOUS ESCAPE.


NJ. Spuller, Gambetta's companion in
his escape by balloon from Paris, has
just given, on the occasion of the an-
yelling of q monument at the villa Of
Epineuse, where the balloonists alightetl,
an interesting account Of the historic
incident. The professional aeronaut,
Frichet, said the French Foreign Min
lister had one failing. AS soon as the
balloon had got we'll up he wanted to
go down, and when they approached
Chantilly a.1irst decent was made. The
country people told them that they must
ascend again, as the Germans were
very near them, and so they started
afresh, but soon NJ. Frichet elected to
descend, and would have handed them
in farm crammed with the enemy's
troops had they not been fred at and
thus warned off. Ballast had to be
thrown out in profusion, and NJ. Spuller
helped to tighten the balloon by the
sacrifice of his overcoat.
At last the gas with which the balloon
was inflated was visibly escaping: the
travellers had no alternative but to de-
eide on descending somewhere. They
perceived small river, but soon they
heard the sound of the Pussian drum,
and Gambetta told nj. Frichet that
they must at least make their way to
the other side, where there was wood.
This was done without any accident,
and they alighted on the fringe of the
Bots de Ferritres at Epineuse.
Numbers Of peasants went to meet
them and they were received Hospitality
by the Mayor, M. Drebus, whose daagh-
ter was allowed to start one of the
pigeons which they had brought with
them to convey to Paris the news Of
their safe arrival. The Mayor drove
them to Tricot, whence schoolm.ster
took them to Montdidier. They arrived
at II p. M, slept at the sub-prerecture
and took the train next morning for
Amiens. The oak grappled by the
balloon for making the descent attracted
many visitors till the owner. a royalist,
cut it down, refusing offers OF pnr-

REM.lHK. aBLH INTELLTGENCE or n
HORSE.

RISM.iAK.aBLIs INTELLIGENCE OF n
HORSE.
One of the characters in the play Of
shenandoah" is horse whose duty it
is to put his head in at a window liz the
first act and to dash across on the stage,
later on, with Sheridan on his back.
On one night, while MIR. Howard, was
looking on behind the wings, he saw
the horse toss up his head, erect his
ears and display every other siga Of
equine excitement. "Wbat en- earth is
the matter with the beast?" Mr.. How
ard asked. "He has just gotten his
cue,' said Mr.. Frohman; after the
first few nights he recognized IL certain
line that has just been spoken on the
stage, as q signal to be ready for his
performance, and now when he hears
these words. though they are guietly
spoken, in the course OF an ordinary
dialogue, he gets ready in this was, "
This led to further conversation
about the horse, in which Mr.. Howard
expressed his admiration Of that par
ticular animal, though Mr. F'roh,nan
said that any horse would do equally
well, SO intelligent is the animal as q
rule. -Nee0 York Sun.

THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 30.

GEN CHAlMEns was formerly an ultra
democratic Congressman from Mississippi.
Because the democratic msjority In the
House Of Representatives gave his confess
ed seat to q negro republican, who was
elected, ne Topped and became blatant re-
nublican. Now that the republican major
~ In that body has awarded the seat for
which he was contestant to democrat,
who also was elected, though he, Chalmers,
had much stronger case than either OF the
negroep, Lsngston and Miller, to whom
seats have been given, 1t ia not improbable
that the General may flop back again. But
in any event 1t Is hardly possible that he will
ever egaiu be the Congressional candidate
of any party in Mississippi or any other
State. Floppers prosper in the North, not
In the South. Blue skies end sunny lanos
ers not congenisl to them.

sion for the bill that is now before Con
eress to render null and void decision Of
