An AERoNAUr's ADVENTURES.
During the Franco-P Prussian war
DR.. Wells rendered valuable service
to both sides, and besides participa-
ting in the exciting incidents Of
balloon campaigning has visited
every country on the globe during
his career as an aeronaut, giving
exhibitions of his skill.
"My most thrilling experience
remarked Wells to . Republic re-
porter last night. 'swas at Milan in
1863. One of the editors Of the II
Secolo made an ascent with me.
We descended at midnight, fastcn-
ing the balloon to q tree six miles
from Milan. Towards morning the
wind threatened to deInolish it, and
II assembled alone. Soon the sun
shone ont, the gas began toexpand
under the heat, and before long the
balloon exploded while ] was in the
midst of experiments with my ba-
rometer. The balloon rolled up
and l began to fall with terrific ra-
pidity from q height Of three miles,
the heavy anchor and other trap
pings accelerating the fall. Thought

glass, and, being unprovided with

ThoughtIeSsness.

Farmer Simpson was an exceedingly
mild natured man and would find ex-
cuses for the shortcomings of his neigh.
bors, for the faults of his horses and, in
fact, for every unpleasant thing that
came in his way. He purchased a COW
and had great difficulty in keeping .he1
in the pasture.
''Shes kind of rovin critter, but she
means we'll" he said, after walk OF
several miles in pursuit of her.
One morning he was milking the COW
when she began to kick violently, upset
the stool, sent the pail flying and all the
milk was spilled.
The farmer got up, and contemplate
ing the ruin said gravely to witness OF
the disaster:
"Well, now that's the worst fault this
COW has"
Then after moments meditation
feeling that perhaps he had been un
necessarily severe, he added, "That is, il
you can call it IL fault; maybe it's only
thoughtlessness."- YOUTHS Companion

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY.

AS preliminary to the projected So
ciety, which the music lovers of Roa-
noke have in view to establish, 1t will
not be amiss for all persons interested
in the upbuilding of Roanoke, whether
muically inclined or not, to view from
business standpoint the benefits which
such an organization would bring to our
city.
/. Undoubtedly the thousands Of visitors
who heard the magnificent Decennial
Concert, were deeply impressed with
Roanoke as musical center. These i'm
pressions naturally find utterance and
advertise to their hearers an attractive
city for visitors. Therefore, it behooves
the good people of Roanoke to encour-
age in every possible way the efforts OF
our musical friends to supply the city
with an organization capable of in
augurating a series of musical festivals
that would bring it into fiattering prom
inence as an attractive resort and abid-
ing place.

Some of FlossIe,s FnnoIes.


Flossie went down to the seaside In
June, and the first day she saw the
bathers from the hotel window she
shouted to her mother:
"Oh, mamma, come and see the peo-
pie in Gods big bathtub."
In the hotel where she was stopping
she took fancy to riding in the ele-
vator, and she nearly worried the life
out Of the elevator boy ringing him up.
One day he was not in q very pleasant
frame of mind after about the seventh
trip, and she noticed it.
WELL" she said to him, with an air Of
apology, 81 suppose you think ought
to own machine of my own"
With her father and mother she went
by sea to New York from point in
Virginia, leaving in the evening. The
next morning they were out of sight of
land for the first time in her experience.
Her father had taken her on deck, and
she looked all around the waste of water
for n minute or two, and then she re-
marked, in u tone of considerable sur
prise:

HOLD 1T DOWN.

The cholera is being held within
bounds in New York city, and If the
present good fortune holds another
week should stamp it out. The number
of cases on tho cholera infected vessels
at Fire Island is diminishing rapidly
and but few new ones are appearing.
The danger is not over, however, nor
1essening, nor will it until the disease
has run its course in Europe and again
disappeared. Europe is certain to have
recurrence next spring of the cholera,
and year OF increasing vigilance will
be necessary to keep it out Of America.
In all probability foreign exhibits and
foreign attendance at the Worlds Fair
will be seriously curtailed by this
trouble, but we can stand their absence
better than the cholera's presence.

Hot Weather Hints.

If n person afflicted with sunstroke be
struck a sharp blow in the neck with
club he will often revive sufficiently to
make an antemortem statement.
In case of fire get out Of the house as
soon as possible. The artificial heat is
apt to throw one into n perspiration, in
which condition one becomes very sus-
ceptible to colds.
A mustard colored umbrella, with a
wet towel about the head, is as good as
anything to wear on the street during
hot weather. The umbrella is especial
ly trying on the nerves of horses and is
quite effieacious in dispelling the dull
lassitude which is likely to brood over
the world ut such time.-Detroit Trib-

THE sLANDERERs.

There is small group of people in
Roanoke who delight greatly in original.
ing ISLANDERS and a large group who de.
light in giving them currency. There is
nothing more worthy of public con.
cemnation than this habit of talking
disparagingly of other people. 1t
betrays minds OF small calibre in pos.
session Of those people who can find
nothing better to do than SANDER the
innocent.

past.

Where the ghosts of dead loves are so real

Like the gold leaves of autumn preserved from

Phantom of fancy,
Dream wings lend my soul
To float softly away to those deep shadow dells,
And blend with the beauty of memory's
bright stream
That silently sings in that dear land of dream
Like the remembered music of long silent bells!
D land of the past,
Where the soft echoes linger
And the music of memory with sweet rapture
thrills
The heart like the fragrance of the flowers,
or kiss
That gladdens life with fond thoughts Of
its bliss
Oh, the soul is song burst-the whole world ii
fills!
All, ME! Dear dreams,
You are naught but shadows
Still wrapped in the silence of Times silver
years;
Lite the mirth Of the May time you cheer
with your smiles;
Your gifts. those bright witch fires Of fancy.

When the Prince Called on Tennyson.

WHICH Inc \ flhco Cdll6u on IennySOn.
There is one story that will be historic
of call which the Prince of Wales once
made upon Tennyson. He had new
page boy, who knew not the prince, and
who had been warned against admitting
strangers to the house on any pretext.
Ono day the prince walked over from
Osborne to see the poet He gained the
entrance, which was of itself no easy
TASK, and knocked at the door. "Mas-
ler's not in" he was told. The prince
detecting that this was a promiscuous
answer, which it was the page boys in
structions to give to all corners, said,
"Will you kindly tell him the Prince Of
Wales wishes to see HIM"
The boy eyed the visitor with an irri-
tatingly knowing look, and replied
"Walker!' which was equivalent to say
Ing, "Do YOU see anything green in my
eyer This rude remark amused the
prince very much, but the boy would
certainly have slammed the door in his
face if Tennyson himself. who had been
listening to the conversation, had not
put in an appearance and welcomed the
prince to his Freshwater home.-New
York Tribune.
