A New England SInva.

The Bangor (Me.) News has found a
slave in that city. This man Is the driver
Of hose wagon and is stationed at q
little brick house on Hammond street.
The Bangor fire department pays him
$40 a month, and he stands eternal
watch, day and night, having no vaca-
ton or holidays. He occupies tho sta
tion alone and, The News says, cannot
leave to get meal or change Of cloth
ing unless he hires some one to take his
place, and then he is liable to be called
G as usual. But probably IL this man
should give up the job there'd be score
of applications for the place.

Served Him Right.

A good story is told about gentle
man who lives in Brooklyn and crosses
at Fulton ferry nearly every day. He is
much prosecuted by the bore who al
ways accosts you on ferryboat in mid
stream with the stereotyped question,
"Ah! are you going across?"
The other day one of these demons
hooked on to the Brooklyn man as usual
and said: "Hello. old mani Going to
York;"
mo, SIR" he replied promptly. II
am going to hit you on the nose."
And he did amid the cheers of the
crowd.-Texas Siftings.

furnished for sending messages back
Guns and fishing lines were supplied to

mast. Ii more gas was wanted the small
balloon could be emptied into the big

for ballast. When everything had been
thrown out OF the car to tighten the load,
the car itself could be cut away, the

Mears was boarded by a canoe load of

they would kill and dress her for him in

the value of ten or twelve dollars Capt
Mears bought her but concluded not to
have her killed. She was perfectly will

did not want TO be killed by the white
people. She was brought to New York
and taken to the captains home in Mill
bridge, where he gave her an education.
At present she is with Capt. Mears in

Cottage Ef6at' Newport.

Cottage life isTGng centre and core of
Newport society 41t-aims at the exclu-
sion of publicity, at the seclusion of
home life, with every inch of its grounds
open to view. It is about as secluded as
the cup and saucers at an afternoon tea.
It is no ffcrt, however, to maintain
this ostrich view of things, for every
thing is arranged to preserve it. They
all think they live secluded lives, for
there is nothing to bring them in con-
tact with anyone but themselves. They
all do about the same things. They
go to the same places. Their belongings
are bought from the same shops. Their
clothes come from the same tailors and
we'll known modistes. They buy the
same flowers to decorate their tables.
Theyhave the same dishes. They drink
the same wines. They have the same
plans for theirschildren. Their children
drive the same little pony carts They
have the same sort of servants, the same
grooms, the same harness and the same
sameness about everything. Yet, with
it all, it is so refined, SO well appointed,
so luxurio us, SO beautiful, that any one
might envy the possession and enjoy
ment of it all.
Take their luncheons and dinners, for
instance ). Look around at the beautiful
and refined appointments, at the we'll
bred faces, the well-dressed women
Look at the glass and silver and gold.
The f1unkies bearing aloft the salvers
of fruits, as if at Belshazza's feast. Every
conceivable dish is there, either in or
out of season. AS wit has said,
Everything, even from the apples of
Sodom to English grapes at Sc a pound. !"
Then hear the talk, for it can hardly be
called conversation. 1t scarcely comes
up to the standard of the grapes, though
it is often equal to the apples of Sodom.
When the women are intimate their
talk is little risque They often speak
as if on the edge of a precipice, but for
uunately the walters now are either
French or Italian, and do not under
stand.
"There is nothing that the virtuous
worldly woman knows so well as the vices
OF Others" Nothing is more entertain
ing than to discuss them.
As for the household apnointments
think Of satin sheets-of blue and mink
and black and white satini Think Of
$4,000 for four pairs of sheets! Think Of
embroidered sheets trimmed with lace
at $500 pair, with nightdreses to match i
Think of turquoise and diamond neck
laces to wear with them, or bracelets to
match! One has even heard of solitaire
rings for those poor little things that are
one day to be turned up to the daisies

in bags was thrown over, and up shot
the air ship to height of three miles.
At 12,000 feet the neck of the bag opened
and the gas began to escape. This left
the balloon only about three-ffths full.
She started to come down and descended
faster and faster. More ballast was
thrown over, and she took a sweep up to
she had expended SO much ballast that
it was decided to make landing, the
hour. being 8 pm. The voyagers found
themselves 81 miles from St. Louis.
That was the last long trip by balloon

never been any long voyages in Europe

The Great Northwest.
Another famous balloon was the "Great
Northwest, I" which started from Mime
apolis for New York i'll September, 1881.
1t was under charge of Prof. King, and
carried seven men, five of, them being
newspaper reporters. 1t was the biggest
balloon ever inflated with hydrogen,
holding 100, 900 cubic feet. Though we'll
planned in all other respects the ascent
was made without any consideration of
air currents. The balloon went up in a
dead calm to height of 1000 feet, stayed
for some time and came down in COW
pasture. A few weeks later King took
the same balloon up at Chicago, and was
carried off into the wilds OF Wisconsin,
where he and one companion had moth
ing to eat for three days except a hedge
hog.
great elevations are very interesting.
There are wonderful echoes among the
clouds, and sometimes beautiful mlrages
are seen. Voyagers in the balloon car
have sometimes an opportunity to wit
ness thunder storms from above and find
themselves surrounded by orange-colored
flames of sheet lightning. Thistle seeds
are loud floating at height of a mile OF
more like so many vegetable parachutes.
At 31-2 miles up the atmosphere is one
half as dense as on the earth, at miles
it is only one-quarter as dense, and at
II IL miles it has only one thirty-second
of the density. Accordingly the aeronaut
finds it desirable to stay within about
three miles of the surface of the globe.
The view in.-ascending from the seashore
is most impressive. AS one rises ships
come up from behind the horizon. 1t
tween the observer and the ships the
latter have the appearance of sailing
above and over the clouds. Likewise a
meandering river is seen twisting in
convoIutions over and under the clouds
in the distance. Washington Star.

BOYCOTT THE FAIR?

BY all means No. We wonder how
many in this or any other city will,
thinking it sin to open the Fair on
Sunday, countenance the much greater
sin of boycotting the Fair on the secular
days. Boycotting is crime in tie eyes
of the law, a sin against justice and
human rights born of divine inspiration.
VIII our Methodist bretheren and
sisters all over the land fall into the
error of boycotting because one 'bell
wether," Bishop Merrill, advises them
to? Not such is the advice Of some of
the brightest minds in the Methodist
and all other churches. Note the
actions of Dwight Moody. The broad
lines of Christianity are not bounded by
days or time, by one idea, one law or
one schism. IDEAL justly, speak truly,
and walk humbly before thy God"
means more than aggressive forces
marshalled in war against universal
freedom.
Let US pull out the notes and beams
in the eyes Of faith nearer home, and
as sins of riding, driving, visiting, sight
seeing and festival making on Sunday
become eliminated from individual
churches and lives, the influence will
be felt in favor of Sabbath sanctity.
Money making schemes and Sunday
recreation are not all confined to the
Worlds Fair.
