Balloons for Use in Battle.

By the death of Eugene GODDARD, the
celebrated French aeronaut, the Paris cor
respondent of the Courier des Flats Unis
is reminded Of the remarkable use he made
of balloons during the siege of Paris. Com
puted from the time it was completely in
vested by the Germans that siege lasted
from Sept. 10, 1870, to Jan. rs, 1871
Beaten in every encounter, the last division
Of the French army under Bazaine was shut
up in Metz Therefore, the provisional gov
eminent deemed it Of the utmost Importance
that new armies should be organized and
equipped in the provinces in the hope
that they might be able to march to Paris
and break the German investment of the
city. Gambetta was entrusted with the
duty Of arousing the people in the prov
inces to renewed exertions, and he was
among the first to escape from Paris in a
balloon to enter upon the undertaking en-
trusted TO him.
That the German grip bad already grown
too firm to be broken by such irregular sor-
ties OF raw recruits is now a matter of his
tory. So they only served to increase the
nation IS sufferings by prolonging the war,
Those who were shut up in Paris had no
possible means of communication with the
outside world except by balloons or carrier
pigeons Workshops for the construction
OF balloons were Immediately arranged and
placed under the supervision of Eugene
GODDARD and his father and brother. Finally
the duties fell upon Eugene GODDARD alone.
During the ensuing eighteen weeks there
after sixty-ive balloons we're sent out Of
Paris carrying 1914 passengers, 381 pigeons
and %, 900 pounds of correspondence. con-
tanning 2,500,000 letters. OF all these
balloons only three were captured by the
enemy. One was lost and never again dis
covered, while an empty one that escaped
from its moorings was last seen passing over
the port of Plymouth, England.
None of the passengers lost their lives ex-
cept the aeronaut of the lost balloon, al
though Bismarck threatened to shoot as
spies all who were caught. Carrier pigeons,
however. were much less successful Out
of the whole number of 3s1 only SO ever
returned to Paris with dispatches. About
70 are supposed to have fallen into the
hands of the Germans, and the other
stopped to rest and forgot the way back.
So the balloon would seem to be rather q
useful continuance in time of war;

Investigation of the charges of unwar-
ranted cruelty in his late encounter with
the Sioux, that were preferred against Col.
Forsythe, proves that he only did his duty
in the best manner that the peculiar attend
ant circumstances permitted. Women who
were killed in the fight, the testimony
shows, were so mingled with the fighting
bucks that the killing of them was wholly
unav oidable to an effective defense of his
own forces, Had he spared them they
would have been used as barricade by the
bucks while they slaughtered the soldiers
Years of active service on the frontier have
proven Col. Forsythe to be too intrepidly
fearless a man to needlessly kill the de-
fenseless under any circumstances. But
these savages would Immediately take ad-
vantage of any sort OF mercy shown them
while under arms. Such experienced aud
brave scouts as Buffalo Bill and Pony Bob
fully sustain the course of Col. Forsythe. At
the same time if Buffalo Bill instead of a
vindictive Indian had been allowed to ar
rest Sitting Bull be would not have been
killed and the ensuing disastrous conflict
would have been averted. Thus President
Harrison, through his arbitrary interior.
ence, becomes responsible for the whole
wretchedly fatal bluuder.

The Plant Systems Vice President

The Plant Systems Vice President.
Col. Henry S. Haines, who has been the
general manager of the Plant system of
railroad, steamship and steamboat lines for
a long time, has been made vice president
of the system also. The wisdom of Mr..
Plants action will be generally recognized.
Among those acquainted with the affairs of
the Plant system it was expected that Col
Haines would be selected to fill the vacant
vice presidency, not only because of his
thorough acquaintance with all matters per.
tanning to the system but also because of
his fitness for the position.
Col. Haines possesses in an eminent degree
the qualities of a great railroad manager.
To him is due largely the prosperity of the
Plant system. A man Of high order Of in-
tellect, of untiring industry. excellent judg-
ment, unquestioned integrity, and student,
he has made an enviable place for himself
among the leading railroad men of the
country.
Col Haines is not a railroad speculator or
promoter. He is unknown, probably, in
Wall street, and has no sympathy with the
railroad combinations that are made there
for speculative purposes. But among men
who are earnest in their efforts to solve
great transportation problems and make
railroad properties valuable to their owners
and beneficial TO the people. he is held in
high esteem.
Col. Haines is in the prime Of life and in
the enjoyment of excellent health. He
takes a profound interest In his work,
not only IN it's relations to the interests con-
fided TO his care, but also as it affects the
welfare of society and the development of
the country. Keeping abreast as he does of
the best thought of the age, he takes q
broader view of questions with which he
has to deal than would be- necessary for the
satisfactory discharge of his official duties.
Mr.. Plant will have no cause to regret hav-
ing placed additional confidence in mis- fit
ness for great undertakings

AN AMATEUR HEN.

A lad knew-now this if true,
So listen, little boy
Once had a hen of black and white,
He loved and watched from morn till night
But had one pain with his delight,
One drawback to his JOY.
His pride was such he wanted much
Some little chicks TO pet;
But every coaxing, pleading word
Was wasted ON this stubborn bird;
She seemed to think the thing absurd,
And plainly would not set.
He fastened then his hayward hen
Beneath an empty keg;
He tied her on the nest; but still
Her protest sounded, sharp and shrlll;
He could not force the biddy's viii,
Nor make her hatch an egg.
ResoIved-he came, with cheeks afiame,
And from the closet shelf
His trousers bringing; Mamma" he begs,
"Please sew some feathers on the legs;
I'm going to set on speckle's eggs,
And hatch them out myself"
