Extraordinary Balloon Adventure.

MT Arthur Williams, a professional aeronaut. and MT. sidney Darby.a jour nalist. recently under took to cross the English channel from London to France. The appointed day was stormy but the journalist. who as 1t appears, had the expedition in charge, was per suaded that this would be no disadvan- tage, but rather the contrary. as the wind would only serve to hasten the passage. The men were provided with carrier pigeons, provisions, pneumatic blouses to aid them in swimming. in case they were preeipitated into the sea, and other appliances. By the time they reached the neighborhood of Brighton, on the coast, the aeronauts found that, on account of the eonden- sation of the gas. they could keep themselves mp only by throwing out ballast, and they perceived that. at the rate they were throwing it out. that they had not enough to carry them across the channel At the same time the balloon was blowing very fast in the direction of the sea. Nothing re- mained for them but to descend. by whatsoever means they could, and at once It was now almost dark. Not a moment was to be lost. We have got to go down the guide rope, said Williams He himself began the de- scent first, letting himself down hand over hand on the whirling rope. Mir.

The most important feature in the crop reports fssHsd by the Calves ton (Tex) News during the present season is the proof presented of the immense stride made in the diversi- feation of crops. A few years ago it could be truthfully said that Tex : as raised nothing but cotton and cattle. Today Texas E raising nearly every thing that grows. and is only beginning the work of diver siGeatioD. Farmers Ia al sections of the state have begun to live at home. They have their own gar dens, and in many eases raise gat- den stuff to sell. Many Of the farm CTS sell eggs and chickens. Among tte products which may be men tioned as beyond the experimeo tai stage in Texas are wheat, oats, sor- ghumi sugar cane. peas, forage crops, potatoes, beans. onions, cao- bage. milo maize. turnips, miIlet, sweet potatoes, tobacco, orchards and ytneyards. There is hardly farmer ia the State who is not branching out, at least or a small scale. into a divefsiication Of crops There is also a wonderful change iu regard to the raising Of cattle and hogs. Many farmers are making their own meat, and its an excep. tion where you find a farmer with out a few head of cattle and hogs. The general adoption ot diyersiHoa- tion by the Texas farmers meaus perpetual prosperity for the Lone Star State. Diversi6eation means prosperity for Arkansas and other Southern States where it is put into practical effect. The Democrat has advocated crop diversification for years with an earnestnass thatmdst necessarily produce results. Some times we have felt discouraged, but there has been a gradual change for the better. and we believe the day is rot far distant when our hopes shall be realized. Ark. Democrat.

Y0W THEYL GO WILD.

What Altgeld may or mayrot say or do is of very little consequence 90 many people, but there is no de- nying his ability, sincerity and en- 8husiasm for what he thinks is right. A month ago he was hailed by the GoebeI organs as a saint, prophet and philosopher says the 0wensbo TO 4Ky.) Inquire. This was while they thought 1e was for their man, but when he came out in favor of honest politics in the state and nation. every sort Of abuse was heaped upon hin, as has been shown. Mir. Altgeld is posted on politics in Kentucky and whatever his other killings he is always for the people when they pit themselves against the politicians: Gov. Altgeld says:
 If we are correctly informed in regard to the conditions in Ken lucky, then the real question pre- sentee there is whether fraud, trick erg. thuggism and crime shall be permitted to triumph; and in as much as these elements car al ways be controlled by corruptionists, the question broadens out aud becomes one of national importance For if these elements are to triumph in Kentucky it means they will have 3 comparatively easy road to travel 8n other sections of the Union, and 1t means that political convent tions, instead of being run by the people and carrying out the policy and will of the peopIe will be run by men who hetray the people and will be controlled by those interests that plunder the country.l
 Viewed from that standpoint, it is apparent that the very existence of democratic institutions is in Rolved and that consequently it is the duty of every man who loves his country to do what he can to crush out these conditions. But whether it would oe advisable for me to go 10 Kentucky and make speeches or not will depend on circumstances; il will depend largely upon what the  peoplesof Kentucky do themselves. If they show a disposition to rescue their state from the control of rot ten politics aud they conclude that l can help them, I will gladly do wkat I can; aud help them, l will gladly do what I eau; aud l think a similar spirit will be found all over Ahe country,
 Looking at the situation from this distance it seems to me as if new Democratic ticket would be the salvation of Senator Blackburn. For it would bringing out q full Democratic vote, whereas if there gs no new ticket put up and disgust ed Democrats should remain away from the polls, as they are liable 10, then he would be in great danger. :"

DeWeY's Health.

Conflicting stories concerning the
health of Admiral Dewey have served
the purpose of newly illustrating the
high esteem in which he is held and
of bringing out the fact that the prcsi-
dent some time ago caused word to be
sent 10 Dewey that he could come home
whenever he cared to, General Whit
tier, one Of the recent arrivals from
Manila, admits that the climate is rath,
cr trying on Dewey, who is 63 years
old and not robust but he says that
the admiral, III addition to wanting to
"sce the thing through" has a fear
Of attracting public attention if he
should return at this time and would
rather avoid than court demons nstrations
in his honor.
There is probably more in this last
clause than appears at first glance, At
Manila the sun may be hot and the at
mosphere moist but Dewey can dress to
unit and have his own way. In the
United States, in his desire 20 avoid
the charge Of being thought ungratoful
or discOurteous, he would be at the
beck and nod Of several million ap-
