many years ind all the money he
could obtain In attpmptaV perfect
a flying machine which he bad in
vented. A year ago he announced
that bis machine was at last per
fect, and that he would make an
ascent from! Brussels on a certain
day. A grist crowd assembled to
see the perbrmance; but the ma
chine would not work, the ascent
pted, and the crowd,
the a disappointment,
Ives niion the jna-

onslsted of a wooden

; on which the flyer
was to stand r two wine, thirty
fire feet lobg and three feet wide,
composed of cane and canvas, and
a tall piece ef the tame materials
The whole uiachlnu weighed three
hundred Dounds Htnndlnir on the
platform m Groof could flap the
wings anu move tk tall, ana mug,
although hrfconld not ascend, he
could, In his belief, fly borbontally
through tlio air for some distance
and conio iafely to the ground
when be grow tired of flying. He
made an arriiiffcmcnt with a bal
loonist, Mr. Blmmons.to be takan
up from Cretnorne Gardens and to
be allowed tcut himself loose from
the balloon.' The first ascent was
made last week. Be G roof attach

ascended and was carried for sever

the ground after traversing a dis

There was i stroug hrecie blowing
at the timo and the machine seem
ed to be caifled wih the wind. On
Thursday e Groof made his sec
ond attempt, and this ended In his
death. Mij, Simmons again took
him up and the ascent was made
from Crcmorno Gardens as befure,
In the pretence of an Immense as
semblage, t'fhe poor fellow's wife

foctionate farewell of her and then
stepped into hlar fatal machine,

Mr. Disreeli, In the course of his
speech on Home ituie in Ireland,
delivered in the House of Com
mons, June 2, said: "I must say
tier is tonic nothing more extra
ordinary than the determination
of tho Irish people to proclaim to
tho worm tnat tiiey are a conquer
ed race. I have been always sur
prised that a people gifted with so
much genius, so much sentiment,
such winning qualities shoutdbo
I am sure they will pardon me say
ing it, my remark is an abstract
and not a personal one should be
so deficient lif sclf-rospeet. Great
laughter. I deny tbr.t the Irish
people ore conqrtered; they are
proud of it; I deny that they have
any gronnd for that pride. Great
laughter. Tho honorable mem
ber for Louth was quite dated
whon ho spoke of the subjection of
his people. f Ho seemed almost in
spired whon he talked of the Irish
being still in chains. I must cuter
my protest agaiust a course which
appears to me so extraordinary.
And first of all, I deny that the
Irish are an ancient Nation hat
have been conquered more tlmnall
ancient Nations . hnvc ".joon.
Laughter. I deny that tLe Irish
havo been conquered more than,
or even asoftenas the English.
Laughter. You never hear of an
Englishman going abont and boast
ing of hia subjection. Ho, boasts
sometimes of having como over
with WilHam tho Conqueror, or of
his rclationsliavingdono so. Tho
Irish have been conquered by the
Normans, and so have wo ; and in
modern times I will not deny that
Oliver Cromwell conquered Ire
find, but it was after he had con
quered England. Laughter. Wil
liam HI, could not have succeeded
in conquering Irclaud if ho had not
provionsly conquered England.
Thoroforo there is no foundation
for tins state ot anatrs oi wiacn
the honorable member for1 Louth
and tho school he repvosents arc
always so proud. Allow mo to
point out to tho Honso that this
mere bit of sentiment is the only
al foundation for this violent
change which Is now proposed.
If they nro not a subject race they
havo no argument , at all, accord-
ing1 to the honorable member for
Louth. I would most rcRpcctfnlly
remark to my Irish friends t hero is
something, I think, Impolitic iti
tlio boastful manner in which they
will remember tho disgraces ami
disasters of their people. It is po
Cunar to incm, out awuum rco-
Smmcnd thorn .not to bo fond of iu
ulgimr in ltj, A laugh. We
lave fiio advantage of living in.n
ago whon people arc not rcniark
ablo for a snporstilious veneration
for his history or acquaintance
with it. Laughter. ViTocaunot
sparo so much tinto to tho past ns
our fathers' did, mid I havo no
doubt when all tho variofis systems
of education now afloat are ma
nured, olid tho consequence.1? avo
icaily accomplished, the great
Body of the Nation will not bo ,nc
(jnaintod with any thing but the
Information of tho current Hour
Laughter. If, therefore, Irish
gentlemen would only hold their
tongues I 4o't bohevo that In
the course of a generation anybody
would romcmbor that tljey had
been subjugated laughter -lor
In tho courso of a generation they
will turu out to be tho rcprgRciita
ives of a contaiited and prosperous
people" Cheers.
The Story ef the farfow.
To many hearts in the old coun
try, that cherish its traditions, the
eurfrw recalls a story of love's
devotion.
In the time of Cromwell a j ouug
loUier, for soie o8ense, was con
clstmied to die, and the time of his
death was fixed at " the ringing of
the curfew." Naturally, such a
aifeslssipplaas Abroad.

" I will now5 ask," said a pcrlpo.
tctio lecturer to a somewhat noisy
crowd wlo had gathered at ono of
his seances in an Eastern tillage,
" how yon wouldllkc a good black
guard story? 'All In favor will
raise their hands." Nino-tenths
of the dexter paws present instant
ly went up, and there was a and
den hush of all noisy domonstra
tlons. The loctnror went on with
his original subject for a fow min
utes, whou some incautious Inui
vldnal broko out with, "Say
wherefs that story?" "Bless you
was tlio reply, "I did not intend
to teUXaay ancb story. I only
wanted (t know how many black.
guards w to present." You might
have hi t A a pin drop during the
lecturer T,1er that.
A Critic ti uslicd.
In a a irecent poem Mr, V. I.
Howells alluded to thocottonwood
on the banks of the Miami, and
somebody took exception to y,
saying" "thor isn't a cttonreo
within two or three hundred mueit
of that river." The paragraph
started on tho rounds of the press,
land on Its travels found lodgment
In tho Bolmout (Ohio) Chi oniclo
whosc editor is gupposed to know
something of tho poet Howells,
and to havo a paternal prido in his
reputation clipped tho paragraph
and appended this comment
"Mark Twain choso tho aricut

was editing, because, os he never
lived on a farm, his experience

I time, but to tliis unhappy youth
t'cr.th wh doubly terrible? since
l,c was soon to he nisrried to a
beautiful lady, whom he had long
loved. . 1
The lady, who loved him ardent
ly in return, had used her efforts
to f vf i t hi fats by pleading with
t!u Judges, aud even with Crom
well himself, hut all in vain. In
hor despair alio tried to bribe tho
old exton not to rinj the bell, but
she found "that impossible. The
hour drew near for the execution.
Tho f reparations were completed.
Tho officers of tha law brought
forth tho prisoner and waited,
while tho tun was sotting, for tho
sitrmtl from the distant hell tower.
To the wonder of everybody it
did not ring. Only ono person at
that tune knew why. The poor
girl herself, half will with tho
thought of her lover's peril, had
runhod unseen tip tho winding
stairs, and climbed the ladders Into
tho belfry loft aud seized the
tongue of the hell.
Tho old sexton was in his place,
pi'ouiot to tho fatal moment. He
threw his weight upon tho rope

ticed liand,rce!td tind swung to

bravo fcii 1 kept her hold, and no

lips. .

Again nnu again tno. sexton

find- upon returning that a serious
and ahtrmlDg condition of affairs
exists In Vieksburg. Infantry and
cavalry orgrtilwitloiw cxlHt,.and it
is reported a number of pieces of
artillery have been sent to the City.
And these, bodies, organized and
armed without 'authority and In
violation of law, assume to lo guar
dians of tho peace. Thhvls a poll-
ieal controversy, One side, the
Democrats, represented by whites,
say they fear ft.tuil on ilio part of
their owoneutsi- The Eepubhcans
cohsiBting mainly of blacks, claim
they fear frauds and also violence
on the part of the Democrat.. At
one time a collision and bloodshed
was feared by ull ; uow by tho Ke
publieans, But by the Democrats
it is believed only because they
havo become musters of the situa
tion. It4 is they who oppose, tho
pretence of tronps'nt thtMlmc, of
course, and of this lamentable state
of rUFuiis it is now uaelflss to speak.
I only seek peace and protection to
all. Can thero bo nny strums ob-

for troops are in many of our cities
at this moment, and in two of tho

may do gret G0 )d. It may save

From the St. Louis Democrat of
tho 28lh July, we take the follow
ing notice of one of our Issaquena
brethren, who is at present sojour
ning in tho "Future Great City,"
ami endeavosing to advance the
interest of his section. We hope
that hU mlsslou may bo crowned
with success:
Judge J. E. Jeffords, President
of tho Memphis and Vieksburg
Railroad, Is at the Southern Hotel
In this city, attending to tho into
este of his road. This road will
u about 220 miles in length, aud
will traverse a country of unsur
passed fertility. It is an import
ant link lathe chain ofjrallroadg
reaching from St. Lonls to New
Orleans and tho Gulf. It is pro- OEvO O 5 1 QUE.
nosed DV mis ronu to connect at
Helena with the Iron Moituta'.n
road. Several of tho rich alluvia)
comities havo already 'subscribed
to this project, and all of tho other
counties through which It passes
will subscribe whenever n&kod to
do so. Tho State has already do
nated tho alternate suctions of
lands for ton miles on cither side
of tho road.
In this connection wo mako the
following extracts from tho Vicks-
burgcr: ' s
Hon. E. Jeffords, President of
tho Memphis and Vieksburg t all-
way, leaves our city to-duy on a
visit to the North, West, aud other
sections of tho country, with the gQUA ATID IJIIXK
view of presenting tho advantages
of tho road to capitalists and tail
road contractors. This gentleman
carries with him tho contldcnro ot
tho pooplo yho so earnestly desire
tho completion of a road which
will open np and place in connec
tion with tho great commercial
centers of tho South and West the
most fertile and productive cotton
lauds on the Aniorlcan "continent
Tho company bos already sulHclcut
ossels to demand tho caniobt con
sideration of largo railroad con
tractors, aud 'President Jeffords
