P|c^^^^^'tiw^«M^^t from theold
l^i^eRi'^rPlrot Higgfafc, the parar
chutist, and for Mveiral hours doubts
entertained at to his safety.=
J-r The balloon, which had that day
been named "The Duke's Motto,"
•nd was of the capacity of 13,000
cobic feet, was folly charged by 5
o'clock. Higgins eaid the direction
of the wind, which was north-east,
would necessitate his traveling a
considerable height, but he hoped to
return to the field in about half an
hour. When he gave the signal to
the attendants to "Let go,'' the ma
chine gradually rose, and appeared
to go in the direction of Norwood.
Upon reaching an altitude of some
thing like four thousand feet, the
parachute became detached from the
net of the balloon, which was evi
dently proceeding upward at a creat
rate, as the parachute was fully ex
panded, although inverted. It was
now evident that something was
wrong with the a pparatus, and, amid
breathless excitement, the parachute
dropped from the balloon.and fell into
a garden in East Croydon. The bal
loon rapidly vanished in the clouds.
When darkness set in and no news
had been received of the paracutist,
much anxiety was evinced at hisfate.
Shortly after 8 o'clock, however, all
fear was dispelled by the receipt of a
telegram, stating that Higrgins had
landed safely near Tun bridge. Hig
gins and his balloon arrived at EaBt
Croydon by the 9:20 train.
In «n interview with a correspond
ent, Hrggins stated that he had ex
perienced the most wonderful of all
his aerial voyages. When he had
Teached a height of 4.000 feet he be

current then caught his para
The
chute, causing the wooden ring of it
to catch him very tightly under the
arms. The test cord which held the
aracliute then brcke. Directly that
he saw that the parachute
was hanging below him fully inflated,
and the pressure on him was so
great
that it was impossible for him to
descend into the middle of the town
with anything like safety. He there
fore opened his penknife with his teeth
and cut the parachute away. This
caused the balloon to shoot up 6,000
feet higher and on reaching that alti
tude he met another current which
brousht him back, and he saw noth
ing until he passed through some
fcleetand snow. He could hear, how
ever, the sound of trains.
All of a sudden he found himself in
darkness, caused, he presumed, by
the snow and the thick atmosphere.
Hewnsintliis snowstorm for at least
ten minutes, and when he had passed
through it the sun was shining beauti
fully. Below him he could see what
appeared to be snowy mountains ris
ing up and down for miles, He could
see a distance ofsome forty clear miles,
and was able to discern the sun glist
ening on the water at Brighton. It
was evident to him that he was go
ing toward Turn bridge Wells. He
found the air getting very sharp nrd
keen icicles were hanging from 1 is
mustache, and he had no sooner rub
bed them off than others formed.
For a few minutes he was quite deaf.
He now seemed to be descending on
the mountains of snow, and he
thought he was getting near Hast
ings or Brighton! He could smell
the sea. Thinking he wns coming
down, he took hold of lour of his guy
ropes, and pulled the balloon partly
over on one side tu'allow the gas to
escape at the mouth.
The balloon then turned round
three times, and he felt he was de
scending. He did nothing more to
the balloon, merely sitting on his
trapeze watching for terra, firma,
which, he did not see tor some time.
At length he saw plowed field?, and
close by there was what he took to
he a large prtrk, with white roads
across it. He then traveled about
five or six miles at a very rapid pace
and saw more plowed fields, which
he thought would be a. more suitable
place to land on. When he wns
about 2,0001pet from the earth, he
prepared .to descend by hanging by
one arm to his trapeze rope as if he
were using his parachute. When his
feet touched the ground, the balloon,
which wns in Iront of him, dragged
bim for ten yards, and then rebound
ed some^sixty feet in the air between
two trees. Two laborers ran from
opposite directions, p.nd, in re
sponse to his signals, they arrived
jast as he came down a second time,
and held the balloon until he let out
the gas. He found that he had land
ed on a farm in the occupation of
Mr. Nash of Penshnrst, about thir
ty miles from Croydon. In reply to
questions, he said that at one time
be must have been five miles above
the earth, the highest he had ever
been. He add«d that the balloon
had no escape valve.
Lions WithSplked Backbones*
In front of an ugly but fashionable
house in Second avenue,
above Four
teenth street, are two very unrelia
ble cast iron lions, which have just
been painted a pinkish brown to
match the newly chiseled brown stone
copings of the doorway. The lions,
in form and color, were sufficiently
unlike anything in nature, but just
by*way of preventing the casual
small boy from taking imaginary
excursions astride their backs, a
strip of spiked iron has been extend
ed from mane to tail of each lion.
The effect of these grewsome but im
possible beasts is startling on a
stranger.—New York Sun.

History compnny for salary due, de*
velops some of the richest testimony
ver brought to the surface by acivil
uit in the community^' says a San
Francisco correspondent oi the Sa
vannah News. The Examiner prints
the names of severed dozen wealthy
and celebrated men anxious to have
their names and biographies enrolled
in the work on which Mr. Boyneswaa
engaged in writing, which was
The main reasons why future gen
erations should not be deprived of
the biographies of these builders of
the commonwealth was set forth in
a supplemental prospectus in which
it was stated that the publication
was not to be restricted to a Certain
year. It was to be continuous, a
sort oi biographical perpetual mo
tion, "new biographies being inserted
os those entitled to a placo shall
come forward and take it." And
thus the book was to live forever.
This, the proprietor claimed, was "a
feature never employed in any simi
lar work, and gives to this western
world a book ol heraldry, a registry
of true nobility, such as no Enropean
aristocracy ever enjoyed."
After all this had been thrown before
the builders of the commonwealth
Boynes' work commenced. It was
his duty to talk these men of promin
ence into the pages of the never-end
ing book of biography. Of course it
was expensive, but prospective build
ers were told that monuments of
marble would crumble into dust, but
that the printed history would live
forever. Boynes says that one of the
principal stories with which his
agents gave force to this part of their
arguments was that little narrative
of the poet Pingar, who, when re
quested by Pythias of Algeria to
write an ode on Isthmian game at
v.hich the latter had been victor,
named as his price one talent, about
$5,000 of American money. Pythias
thought this rather high, and said
that for that sum he could have his
Rtatgpin bronze placed in the temple.
To this Pingar responded that his
poem would outlive both statue and
people. The poem was written and
paid for, ana remains to this day,
but the temples of Algeria have long
since crumbled into dust.
There were various prices for which
a man could live on forever in this
"Chronicles of the Kings." Here is
the price-fist: The price of undying
fame, portrait on steel, as per exhibit
D, with 4 pages print, $1,000, por
trait on steel, as per exhibit E, with
6 pages print, $1,500 portrait on
steel, aB per exhibit E, with 8 pages

portrait on steel, as per exhibit E,
with 12 to 15 pages print, $5,000
portrait on steel, as per exhibit F,
with 25 to 30 pages print, $10,000.
Following will be found some print
ed instructions which Mr. Boynes was
armed with:
"In some instances, as in the case
of arrogant officials, capitalists, or
railway or other monopolies, it may
be well to state that their lite and
doingB are being written up for the
work that the same is bound to be
published in some form therefore, is
it not better to have it right than
wrong? Complete than imcomplete?
In the case of objections as to price,
costand exclusiveness must be the
answer. We are crowning only
kings."
Facsimiles of contracts signed by
ex-Senator Tabor of Colorado for
$10,000 worth of undying fame and
ex-Gov. George C. Perkins of Cali
fornia for $1,000 worth are printed
in the Examiner also, and among
the other crowned heads might be
mentioned J. D. Freeman of Los An
geles, 12 pages, $5,000 worth ex
Gov. Downer, 15 pages, for only $5,
000 M. J. Church of Fresno, $10,
000 George H. Ses?on of New York,
$10,000 H. W. Corbett of Oregon,
$5,000. Mrs B. L. Bensley, who beat
her husband and his creditors out ol
over $500,000 ere she departed from
this life, only contracted for a $1,000
space.
William Gilpin of Denver secured a
$10,000 fame plat in the work, and
so on through a maze of names re
presenting not less than $1,000 each.
The work prospered wonderfully.
The publication of these names and
the manner in which the thousands
flew into the HiBtorv company's
hands by this means "has created a
sensation throughout the Pacific
coast, owing to the great prominence
of the parties.
Punishing the Guilty Part.
Judge Kent, the well known jurist
presided in a case in which a man
indicted for burglary, and the
was
evidence at the trial showed that the
burglary consisted in his cutting a
hole through a tent in which several
persons were sleeping, and then pro
jecting his head and arm through
the hole and abstracting various
articles of value.
It was claimed by hid counsel that
inasmuch as he never entered into the
tent with his whole body he had not
committed the offense charged, and
must, therefore be set at liberty. In
reply to this plea the judge told the
jury that if they were not satisfied
that the whole man was involved in
the crime they might bring in a ver
dict of guilty against so much of him
as waslnvolved.
The jury, after a brief consultation,
found the right arm, the right shoul
der and the head of the prisoner
/ruilty of the offense of bnrglary.
The judge accordingly sentenced the
right arm, the right shoulder and
the head to imprisonment with hard
labor in the state prison for two
years, remarking that as to the rest
of the. man's body he might do with

A Peculiar Kind of Warfare.
Making war on Indians is uniike
any other war making in which arm
ies engage. Finding them, not fight
ing them is the difficult problem to
solve. II the reader will consider
that the theatre of operations iu any
Indian campaign—whether in Wy
oming, Dakota, the Indian Territory
and Texas, or Arizona—is ul out
large as the New England States with
New York added that each of these
possible theatres of war is an unin
habited wilderness that they are
withont roads, and often impenetra
ble for hundreds of miles I xtcause ot
arid deserts or impassable mountain
ranges that while all parts of each
Territory are to the Indian as famil
iar as the paths of the home orchard
are to the farmer and his children,
it is and of necessity must be an un
known land to the best-informed
white man that in these trackless
wilds the Indian had no fixed habita
tion that upon being discovered by
his enemy the direction of the trail
he takes is a matter of indiffer
ence to him that where night finds
him is his home, and that his sub
sistence and clothing are always with
him—if all these and collateral mat
ters depending on them are consid
ered, an idea can be formed of how
difficult it is to make successful war
on the Indian.
In war the Indian, though partial
ly civilized, reverts to his worst
phase ot savagery. Much has been
written us to the false sentimentality
which crops up in the discussion of
the Indian question by humanita
rians and lovers of fair play, which
it is not intended here to repeat.
But it may properly be observed
that it is worse than nonsense to
urge that the Indian regards the
white intruders as thedescendents of
those who, two centuries and more
ago, came to this country and by
might deprived the Indians of the
lands and hunting fields, and is
through his children pursuing the
"red man toward the setting sun."
The Indiana's knowledge of his
tory scnrcely extends beyond
one generation. His white enemy is
served in war as is any other enemy,
and for the same reasons. He liatf no
inherited animosities dating from the
time of the Pilgrim Fathers. Nor
does he feel grat it ude for kind usage
shown to his ancestors or to himself.
The annuities paid him are looked
upon as tributes exacted by fear or
Homeless worthy principle, and kind
ness shown him are those by whom
thev are shown are weak and afraid
of him.
Fortunately for the whites, the In
dians in their warfare are not in the
habit of attacking our so-called forts
on the frontier, else the horrors of
past wars would equal in any year
the feartul pictures ol the Indian mu
tiny against the English. Our front
ier forts have often been.at the mercy
of the Indians, but the capture in any
instance could not have been made
without great loss ot life, and it is
characterastic ot the race that they
areslowtoattack when certain death
awaitsany great numbers. They are
brave where supersticious beliefs
make chances of safety greatly in
their favor, but will not take the risks
that satisfy the civilized warrior.—

than food in a very hot noon but

Bridges of Marble.
"But while in Mexico on my last
trip," says a drummer in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, '*1 had my
breath taken away when I saw what
I guess is the most magnificently
constructed railroad in the world 1
refer to the Mexican Gulf Road,
where ties are made out of the finest
mahogany and bridges built of mar
ble. The Waste seems criminal, but
the builders are actuated by motives
of economy, as they find the mahog
any and marble along the track
side. The road hasn't really, cost
much to construct, bat if the
materials were.appraisedat St. Lou
is or New York standard ot prices
the total would mount up the
millions."
Mr.andMi££~T,youngmarri
peopiiwrer in Brooklyn, of comfort
able tint not pretentious fortunes,
recently had occasion to wonderat a
new deference that seemed suddenly
to have crept into the bearing ot
their acquaintances toward them.
It was a little inexplicable, to be
sure, but none tbe less delightful,
andso they went on enjoying it even
while they wondered about it.
Now a short time before the young
housewife had engaged a demure
looking maid, a very jewel of a ser
vant and wholly devoted to the in
terests of the family, but that this
maid could have anything to do with
the new state of affairs had not ye
occurred to them.
On one of the warm days Mrs.
met a friend on the street, and
paused for a moment's greeting.
"How very fortunate you are to
have the luxury of yachting when
ever you wiBhthis dreadlu, weather 1"
congratulated her friend.
"Yachting whenever we wish?"
echoed Mrs. "I do not under
stand you."
"Ha ven't you a yacht of your own
this summer?" asked her friend.
Neither this summer nor any other
summer," said Mrs. positively.
"Why," answered the friend, ''a
fortnight ago my husband and I
called at your home on Sunday af
ternoon, Your maid came to the
door and told us that Mr. and
yourself had gone out for the day in
your new yacht."
Mrs mused deeply thereat,
but decided to say notning to the
maid. A few days later, however, a
woman friend calling said: "By the
way, I have not yet seen you driving
in your new carriage, I tliink."
"But I haven't any new carriage,"
replied Mrs. in amaze. "What
do you mean?"
"Why," answered her visitor, "a
short time ago when I called your
inaid told me that you had gone out
driving to try your new horses."
A sudden light broke upon Mrs.
's mind. On the instant of her
guest's departure she sought out her
faithful servant.
"Mary," she said, "did you tell Mr.
and Mrs. not long ago that we
had gone out in our new yacht?"
"Yes'm,"said Mary.
"And did you tell Mrs. that 1
had gone out to try my new horses?"
"Yes'm," again said Mary.
"And have you told any other
things like that to other people?"
"Yes'm."
And then it came out that not only
was Mary perfectly devoted to the
family fortunes, but wns more ambi
tious for the elevation thereof than
the lamily itself, and that upon ev erv
possible occasion she had given like
information/to their friends. To one
visitor she had said that they had
gone out to refurnish their country
home, to another that they had gone
coaching with a party of friends, and
tu still another, who had called in
the evening that they were giving a
dinner at Delmonico's on that par
ticular night.
"Oh, Mary, how could you?"
moaned the little mistress. "Don't
you see what trouble you have
brought upon us?"
"I ain't Been none yet," responded
the astute maiden. "Everybody
looks pleased an goes away and
comes back quick again, an' isn't
that what you like?" And wasn't it
a little unjust that Mary's devotion
should have been rewarded by a
prompt dismissal?—New York Even

Is Sick-Nursing Unhealty?
Sick-nursing, we fear is going to
prove an unhealthy occupation, says
the London Hospital. It is a very
common thing nowadays to meet
nurses in the street, and the observ
ant doctor cannot but notice how
pale and anaemic many of them look
No one need be surprised that large
numbers of nurses are so pale and
bloodless. Their life is lor the most
part indoors and indoor life is sure
to produce anaemia sooner or later.
Moreover, the work of a nurse is
anxious, responsible, solitary. She
eats all her meals alone or in the
presence of a sick person. She is not
at home in the kitchen,and isseldom
welcomed as a friend or member of
the lamily upstairs. She has long
hours of work, short periods of re
laxation, and is often disturbed
in her sleep. Many employes
look upon her as a kind of
eight-day clock, which, periodically
wound up. ought to "go" for ever.
How can she be tired is she not a
nurse? How can she have a poor ap
petite is she not a nurse? Why
should she have a headache and be'
depressed in Bpirits after a sleepless
night is she not a nurse? There are
hundreds of people who seem to think
that liecause a woman is a nurse,
therefore she is no longer a woman,
but a kind of cast-iron machine, or,
as we have said, an eight-day clock,
wound up and by the nature of the
case warranted to "go." What is
undoubtedly now required is ready
and sufficient means of securing rest
for a nurse before she is broken down
and ill. That she will break down
and be ill is certain if she keeps on
long enough with her work without
rest. That she cannot afford to rest,
if at the same time she has to pay
lor her own lodging and food, is
equally certain. Proper provision
for trained nurses during conveles
cence und holidays is one of tbe most
urgent wants of the time.
A Walking Benefaction.

and an awtu' -specimen of his kind

Guillotin htmnelf, ai Hellas his
ma.
chine, was a good deal pictured on
cheap delf. A miniature of him has
come down with the other flotsam
and jetsam of the revolution. It
gives us the idea of a correct, judi
cious practitioner with the half-closed
eye of one who is mentally thinking
out some problem. He was always
improving his surgical instrument
in order to abridge pain by rapidity
in operating, and thought to mini
mize it at capital executions. The
principal of equality was to be de
monstrated by the guillotine, since
king, nobles, and sans culottes were
to lose their, heads by Dr. tiuiilotin's
Eead-lopping
rocess. His small model of his
machine is near his
miniature, and "is quite .equal to
cutting off a man's finger"—a police
man says who works it to oblige visit
ors. Samson, the public execution
er, we find, took snuff. Hissnufi
box, of plain brass, is on view also.
Further on are gruesome relics, such,
for instance, a9 a hand kerchief steeped
in Marie Antoinette's blood. Instru
ments of torture, which fell into dis
use forever at the revolution, are
grouped round the guillotine which
perhaps, was used as much as it was
by the revolutionists because it was
a novelty. It killed in the twinkling
of an eye. Finishing off the king and
queen gave ib prestige and made it
the rage as a gratis spectacle. An
old evil is most dangerous in a new
form.
A Surprise In Store for Him.
A dozen years ago a farm lying a
few miles out from Pittsburg was the
home of a man whose thrift was of a
sort that made his neighbors like to
hnve things in black and white when
dealing with him. He had a son who
inherited his father's characteristics,
who went West at an early age and
finally died there after rather a
checkered career. It chanced that
the old man was very ill at the point
of death, indeed—when the news ol
his son's demise reached the farm
house. The only other member of
the family at home was a widowed
daughter, whoBe ideas upon most
subjects—religious ones in particular
—were unique. A neighbor called
at the homestead to proffer his con
dolences upon tbe death ofthe son
and inquire concerningtlie condition
of the father.
"He must have been greatly
affected to learn of his son's death,"
suggested the visitor.
"Oh!" sweetly replied the daugh
ter "I have not told him. Ithought
it would be such a pleasant surprise
to him when he met John in the
pearly streets of heaven."

Love Among the Snakes.
From the Detroit Free Press.
John Grauffius, of Bell Township
was out in the woods, half a mile
from home when he discovered and
extinguished the light of a black
snake six feet long. Tying a string
to the reptile's tail he dragged it
home. The next day his son went
out to look at the snake, and there
by its side lay its mate, a serpent ful
ly three inches longer than its dead
mate. It seemed to be in deep men
tal distress, and was using all its
black snake arts to awaken its
spouse from the sleep of death, when
a blow on the head with a club seal
edits fate also. Thus it will be seen
that the trail of the serpent leadeth
to destruction.
Some Large Checks.
Dp to the present day Vanderbilt's

Bank of London, has just passed
