A Real Castle in the Air.

Mr.. Tobiansky, the engineer, is start
ing company for the introduction of a
novel feature to the Antwerp exhibition
which is to be held next year. 1t Is to
consist Of raft, with an area of about
twenty square yards, and constructed of
bamboo rods and steel and aluminium
tubing, on which a palatial restaurant
is to be erected, and the whole suspended
in midair at an altitude of 500 yards
by means of captive balloons. An in
genious combination of anchor cables
will hold the ''erial CASTLE in position,
and prevent any oscillation even in the
strongest gale. Two smaller captive
balloons. each to carry eight or ten per-
sons, will serve to convey visitors to this
floating island and back again to terra
firma. Each of the large balloons is fitted
with a silk tube, through which, by
means of an automatic arrangement,
fresh supply of gas is obtained when
required. Electric lamps of intense
brilliancy are fitted to the raft for the
purpose of lighting the exhibition
grounds. The entire fabric can be brought
down to the ground in ten minutes by
means of steam winches.-Le Patrole.

Another remarkable and subtle fact
which will be interesting to English
readers and at the same time significant
of the sensitiveness of the Welsh musical
ear, is that it is positive discord to many
among the Welsh congregations if the
minister, in giving OUT the first verse
Of the hymn, does not so pitch his voice
that it shall be in harmony with the key
in which the tune has preliminarily been
placed by the instrumentalist. = The

advised him that the best way to dodge
the crowd would be for him to go toward
his house some mile and half away.
After Joe left Henry followed and found
him where he had lost his way. While
they were out the Sheriff and his posse
passed near by and Joe was in the act OF
shooting one of the men but Henry told
him not to shoot for they would both be
killed If be did. Henry propoaed to carry
Joe on his shoulder, which he did for
about a mile towards his house. After
reaching Henry's house, he proposed to
Joe to let him handle his gun, 80 that he
might learn how to use it, as it might be
necessary if they were attacked for him to
help shoot. Joe readily agreed. After
handling the gun awhile, Henry drew the
bead on Joe and ordered him to surrender,
and after taking bis pistol from him, he
marched him over to Ben. Cobb's, white
man, on whose land Henry lives. There
be was kept until Friday morning, when
he was turned over to the Sheriff. There
was good deal of feeling against the ne
gro on account of his having shot the men
mentioned above, and after Sheriff Gaines
had started off with the prisoner an attempt
was made to take him and, it is supposed,
lynch him, but the Sheriff showed the
crowd that he was determined to protect
the prisoner at all hazards and he succeed
ed in landing the prisoner safely In Jail.

The farmers are badly behind-in fact,
they have done in manner nothing to-
wards preparing for another crop. We
believe the majority will increase the
acreage in cotton instead of decreasing,
and consequently the price will drop
down again.

We SEE the ferry on Seneca has been

instead Of opening new one, as some Of

economy to run the old one than to open
several miles Of new roads and 60 to the
expense of getting new vessels for new
ferry. Economy is the motto of the peo-
