A job for ingalls,.

/ Where is Mr.. ingalls,? Is he stin out
/ OF job? II So he may secure at least
4 temporary employment by applying to the
\ New York State Department Of the Grand
/ Army OF the Republic. That organization
/ desires history written along lines of
/ its own. It has not said so in that many
words. but it is taking steps in that direc-
/ ton. II has had a committee examining
the school histories used in the state to
ascertain how Objectionable they were to
Grand Army ideas as represented by that
department. The committee finds them all
Objectionable, and that one written by
Comrade Barnes to be especially so. Says
the committee's report only once in this
book do we ind the word secession" nor
do we find the words traitor treason
rebel patriot, or patriotism, and only
once the word flag. This indicates what
is wanted The omissions are inexcusable
The model history should have them all
in, and plenty of repetitions of them.
The New York State Department of the
Grand Army of the Republic is not the
pioneer in this matter, to be sure; another
state department took the lead, and en-
ployed Prof McMaster 70 make for it a
history teaching its own peculiar views
with regard to the late war. AS to how
Prof. McMaster has treated the subject,
it is only necessary to refer to an inter-
view with him, in which he is quoted as
having said that if Robert e. Lee contem-
plated rebellion against the federal gov
eminent he had no business going to school
at West Point. That, it would seem, ought

want something stronger And hence the
suggestion OF ingalls,. Where McMaster
made it warm, Ingalls, could pour out
positively hot stuff" He could without
effort fill two or three hundred pages with
treason - rebel" TRAITOR" secession"
and rag" as applied to the cause and
people Of the south, and patriot" pa
triotism," and flag" as applied to the 9TH
or side, with lurid and scintillating accom-
paniments. The theme is one that Ingalls,
glories in. 1t is true he has never made
his mark in the way of historical writings
But then he has made speeches in con-
gress, and reported a prize fight He Is
wonderfully versatile, when it comes to
singing ink or mud. 1t is dollars to
doughnuts that he could write a history
of the civil war which would make Nc

Rnrnnrd,r Air shin.

The airship sensation of the west has
probably given more notoriety to the ap-
paratus of Prof Barnard at the Nashville
exposition than is to that gentleman's Xix
ing. So far as we have seen, he never
claimed that he had made a navigable air
ship, but that he had arranged a balloon
with such appliances that its course could
be altered by the aeronaut under favora-
bic atmospheric conditions And he seems
to have demonstrated this Gain. He has
made several trips irons the exposition
grounds. and has been able 70 shape his
course pretty much in accordance with his
own desires, when there was no breeze.
But even moderate breezes have been ia
tai to the tractabillty OF the balloon.
The cigar-shaped balloon. which Prof.
Barnard uses is nothing new In aeronau-
tics. His only innovation seems 70 be in
the gearing Of propeller-like fans to a BIZ
cycle pedal. The rapid rotation Of these
fans serves to give direction to the course
OF the balloon, when there Is no breeze.
With even a slight breeze. however, the
apparatus drifts along with the air cur
rent in the same old familiar way Of al
balloons. including those seen az the coun-
try circus. The rider has not the power
in his legs to drive large enough fans at
a rate rapid enough to overcome the
wind resistance TO the balloon. II
he riod balloon small enough to permit
OF IT'S being driven against an air current.
it would not have lifting power sufficient
to raise him from the ground. If he were
to put sufficient driving power into his
present balloon, the added weight would
anchor the apparatus TO the earth. So
far as Prof. Barnard's "airship" Is con-
cerned. Therefore, the practical navigation
Of the air is as much an unsolved riddle as
ever; aud Il Is probable that the riddle
will never be solved by means OF the elk
gas bag.

Here is one Of the last stories from
Monte Carlo. says the New York Tri-
bune. While the solemn function of dis
playing, mixing and shutting the cards
which precedes the beginning of the play
was being gone through a gentleman
walked up TO the tables, deliberately
counted out a lot of bank notes, in value
81 500, and placed them on the black. This
somewhat unusual occurrence of stalking
a maximum before the play for the day
had begun naturally attracted attention,
and a bystander remarked:
Rather bold play SIR
''Well," said the player. IT dreamed last
night that L saw the table exactly as it is
now, and on the first coup black won"
The cards being duly cut, the tailleur
proceeded, watched by the onlookers with
unusual interest, to deal out the cards for
the first coup, and black Won. A sup
pressed "Oh!" from the bystanders greet
ed the announcement, and then from
across the table came, in tones of agoniz-
ed entreaty, a lady's voice:
What did you have for supper last
night? Do tell metz

How He Cot Acronr.

A story was told the other day by law
yer in the big Equitable building. says the
New York Times, of an experience that a
brother of his. a blind man, had a few
days since while he was in the city from
a small town in Jersey, where he resides.
on the day mentioned the blind man was
without a guide and stood on the corner
Of Twenty-third street and Broadway,
wishing TO cross the street. While debat-
ing with himself as to whether he would
try IL alone or call a policeman, woman
came up and addressed him. saying: Mis-
ter would you be kind enough 10 help me
across the street? There Is such a jam

the right OF franchise in the United States
under the fifteenth amndment to the con-

When he presented himself al the ballot

his ballot until they first telegraphed to

could vote. According to some republi-
