young Hill became a full fledged printer,
and for a period Of five years was part pro-
prietor of the paper on which he had
served his apprenticeship He went to
Chicago in 1885, bought The Weekly Dem
ocrat and engaged the afterward famous
Long John Wentworth as editor. Chi
cago was then a place of about 900 inhab-
itants.
Mr.. Hill, through his brother, the sem
afor, enjoyed the friendship of President
Andrew Jackson, and he relates many in
teresting anecdotes Of the hero of New Or
leans Old Hickory never was friend of
James Buchanan, and on one occasion thus
expressed himself to Horatio and his
brother: 81 have no confidence in the
moral or political honesty of james Buch-
anan He may become president some day,
but neither you, Senator Hill, nor l will
ever see it. This young man Indicating
Horatio HID may live to see it, but if
Buchanan ever does become president this
country viii be in greater danger than it
ever was before" just about twenty
three years later Buchanan, who at the
time this conversation occurred was a SEN
ator from Pennsylvania, was inaugurated
president of the United States, and four
years after the war broke out.
Mr. Hill has made a good deal of money
as a contractor, and has been brought into
contact with Marcy, Silas Wright and
many others Of the prominent men of tho
United States in the course of his long
career. lie has been married twice, and is
probably one Of the few men living who
have celebrated Il golden wedding with a
second wife. AIRS. Hill died last Christ

A White Cement Needed.

A nucn felt desideratum at present is a
strong white cement, with which to make
artificial stone that shall be of more pleas
ing color than those made with dark gray
Portland cement, or the still darker brown
Rosendale cement The native carbonate
of magneSia or nagnesite, il originally OF
a light color, can be calCined at a low heat
into white cement. which Is stronger than
the best Portland. but the expense is con-
siderable. Quite recently successful at
tempts have been made in Germany to
make an artificial white cement, OF the
same character Is the Portland by grind
ing together three parts Of chalk and one
of kaoiin, burning at red heat and grind
ing again.
The cement made by this process hith-
erto has shown 4 tensile strength only

Bv Balloon to Europe.

The project of crossing the Atlantic in a
balloon Las been entertained by many
aeronauts. Forty years ago Professor Wise
conceived it, but never carried it out.
Later Professor Lowe and Professor Don
ALLISON attempted it, but failed. Now Pro
fessor S. A. King of Philadelphia, is anx-
ious to undertake it. He has been prom
Used, it is said, the necessary funds, amount
ing to from $4,000 to $25, 600. The time he
proposes for his voyage is next August.
The balloon needed should, he thinks, have
a capacity of from 100000 to 5000 cubic
feet and be filled with hydrogen. 1t should,
in his opinion, have two cars, one for pas
sengers near the balloon and one twenty
'jeet lower for provisions. The idea has
been heretofore that a voyage of this kind
should be taken at a height of 80 miles.
Professor King believes that height of
1000 or 200 feet would be preferable. The
