The great aerial voyage from the Mis- j
?issippi 10 the Atlantic coast began on j
July 1, 1859. It was the longest trip ;
ever made in a balloon. The adventur- j
ei-s were John La Mountain, a noted !
aeronaut, O. A. Gager, John Wise, and J
Wm. Hyde, of the St. Ixmis Republican, j
The voyagers meant to sail from St. j
Louis to >?ew York. The balloon, the
Atlantic, was owned by Prof. La Moun-1 s
tain. It was made of the best Chinese i j
silk, and held about 60,000 fret of gas. A j i
boat was attached tor use in case of ac- i
cident. Mr. Ilyde described the trip in ;
a long letter to his journal. He said that i
they left St. Louis at 6i p. M. The
cargo consisted of 900 pounds of sand in bags,
a large quantity of cold chickens, t
tongues, potted meats, sandwiches, etc.; i
numerous dark-colored, long-necked ves- 1
sols, containing champagne, sherry, j 1
sparkling catawba, claret, Maderia, j 1
hrandy and porter; a plentiful supply of \ i
overcoats, shawls, blankets ana fur! ]
gloves; a couple or three carpet bags, a ! (
pail of iced lemonade and a bucket of; s
water; a compass, barometer, thermo- j ?
meter and cliart; bundles of the princi- j c
pal St. Louis newspapers; an express 11
package directed to Now York city; t
cards of .candidates for clerkships in j t
several of the courts: tumblers, cups, ' 1
knives and other articles.
At the word, those who were holding 11
on to the sides of the boat, simultane- j c
ously let go, and the Atlantic rose
slowly !ind majestically above the many , 1
thousands who were gathered in the vi- i i
cinity, and sailed off in a northeasterly | c
direction. Within a few minutes the : i
strips of timber land and fields of! i
newlv-harvested grain in Illinois were I 1
beneath the voyagers. At 7:10 the ba- i?
rometcr stood at twenty-four, and the s
thermometer indicated fifty-five degrees. >
Mr. Hyde experienced a singular sensa- c
tion about the ears. It was unpleasant t
and annoying, bi\t not painful?very i
much such a feeling as a man has when j 1
oathing, and his ears become tilled with j 1
water?making the tympanum grate 11
harshly at every sound. All aeronauts j t
experience this leelingon their first voy- j >
ngc. In a few minutes gas was blown off i
from the tube at the mouth of the bal- j 1
loon, the signal that it had become in- (
flated to its fullest capacity. Proi. Wise. ! I
who had charge of the rope connecting i
with the valve at the top, promptly gave j f
it a pull, and immediately thereafter a ! r
quantity of bluish vapor floated off and r
circled upward. This was at fifteen I i
minutes after seven o'clock. A quarter j 1
of an hour later the air ship had de- f
sccnded very considerably; the barome-! e
ter indicated twenty-seven inches and j (
the thermometer sixty-five degrees.^ All j 1
ms uuiu uic nappy quartette nan oeen :i
conversing about the magnificent seen- r
ery, relating anecdotes and watching r
with inteicst the progress of Mr. e
Brooks' balloon, the Comet, which had r
preceded them from St. Louis. fl
Every vestige of St. Louis had now c
vanished from their sight, and they were C
drifting at a wonderful rate of speed }
toward their destination. The motion i
was perfectly steady. There was no 1
rocking of the boat or far, no rustling of 1 c
the silk; nothing, indeed, but the reced- | <
ing forests and fields beneath to tell them j s
they were not poised between earth and s
sky in a dead calm. No breath of
breeze was stirring. The buoyant down i
of a thistle released from the willow car i
would have fallen to the boat by its own s
specific gravity. In all its calmness the i
monster bubble lloated through the i
clouds. Twilight was on the esrth, and 1
gave to the color of the soil all the ap- i
pearance of frozen lakes. By this time t
the sun had set to the inhabitants of the 1
earth, though to the voyagers it was j i
fotfr or five degrees above tlie horizon. I 1
And thirty-two minutes after seven th%T I'
saw the Comet effecting a landing lar to i1
the eastward. It looked like a merej t
bladder.
At 7:10 they .ere a mile high. To i i
atone for the descent caused by the dis- 1
charge of gas,* a few handfuls of sand |
were thrown overboard. Ateijrht o'clock ;
the barometer showed that the ship had i
again lifted herself to the requisite | I
height. She was moving as steadilv as i
a clipper ship. The weather was bitter 1
i.i r?; -i _ ? ? 1
uuiu. oiKiwiH. coais ana gloves were <
used, but the limbs of the excursionists (
were numb, and their teeth chattered as 1
though they were suffering from ague. 1
An alarming incident occurred. Prof, j
Wise crouched in the wicker car, cov- s
ered his body with shawls and other ar- <
tides of warmth, and was sleeping. The 1
balloon had again become inflated to its (
fullest tension, and the professor lay un- !
tier its mouth. Mr. Gazer addressed 1
some remarks to him, but received no t
answer. Mr. G. again accosted him,
this time in a louder tone. Still there 1
was no response. A third and fourth i
time did he call, but heavy deep and , l
convulsive breathings were the only re.
suits. Mr. Gager, almost pale with ap-;
prehension lest something fearful had |
occurred to Prof. Wise, at once bounded
to one of the upright irons ot the fanwheel
machinery, and with assistance
from one of his fellow-voyagers clambered-into
the car. It was lucky for
Prof. Wise that he did. for Mr. Gager
found that the tube at the mouth of the
balloon was directly under the former's
nose, and that the expansion of the pas !
h:ul driven some of the hydrogen di - |]
rectly into his face. lie was at that i *
time insensible, though as soon as the j
tulw had been removed by Mr. Gager 1
from the professor's nostrils, and a few I
hearty shakes given him, the comatose '
man revived, rubbed his eyes, muttered a <
few incoherent syllables, and inquired jI
what was the matter. i1
While this was going on the Atlantic ' 6
had tound the current that the aeronauts . \
had declared was always blowing in the j >
upper regions, from the west to the east. . '
and was now traveling toward the very j '
star whicii they had picked out in the , <
iirmament as the beacon of the course j 1
they wished to take. The discovery , s
was one well calculated to perfect the j t
restoration of senses in Prof Wise, so 11
happily begun by Mr. Gager. There ; t
broke from his lips a little cough, and : t
saying, " Boys, let's sing," he struck up I *
tne stirring national anthem. " Hail *
Columbia, in which all joined, though 1(
the frigidity of the atmosphere put quite ' 1
a damper on patriotism and melody. , 1
A little after midnight there were ; <
momentary flashes of lightning on all 1 I
sides of the horizon. The milky way (
appeared like luminous phosphorescent!(
clouds, and heaven's jeweled tiara of! 1
stars glistened below and above. Night's *
queenly brow shimmered with the mel- j J
low light of the new-born crescent '
moon. The mighty scroll of the ceru- ! <
lean-pillared firmament glittered all | 1
I over with gorgeous heraldry. 1
| Day broke at three o'clock and dogs ; <
I began to barkv At 4:15 they sailed over j
jtort vvayne, ma., ana could Hear the 1
shouts of its inhabitants. At 5:15 the;
mercury in the barometer showed their
altitude to be nearly one mile. They ! ,
could then hear the lowing of the cows 1
with distinctness. In seven minutes
more the barometer indicated twenty-!
three and a half inches. Their altitude,,
therefore, was then about two miles.
Twelve minutes after three o'clock
they descried in the east what at first
appealed to be the reflection of the sun
on the sky. One of the party asserted
that i hey were not many miles iroma
lake. The noble air vessel was rushing <
along at a orisk rate, dragging its shadow
on the ground encircled in fastastic
colors. There was no doubt tiiat what
had at first seemed a brilliancy of the !
eastern heavens was nothing less than
an immense body of water. The aero4J
nauta concluded that it could only be
Lake Erie, and they were rtoht. for j
\ tracing the shore and observing the little '
\ islands, its contour corresponded almost! <
A \ precisely with the map. 11
B \ A sublimerscenenowbrokeon human i
Baft \ view. Lake Erie has a surface of 7,800 1i
s . .. - 1
square miles, and although they couli
not behold the whole of it, the view los
none of its magnificence. Groups o
white clouds, like great puffs from i
steam-pipe, lloated languidly on ever
side, unlolding their gauze-like robes
and passing off in eddying currents
There was a collection ot houses huddle*
together at the mouth of the Maumee
It was Toledo. There, in that grea
bend, dotted with specks of land, rerr
gained his victory in 1813.
At 7:25 they swept over Sandusky
and floated out on the bosom of the lake
At 9:30 they overtook a Buffalo steamer
,md were hailed with a shrill whistle
They were about 500 feet high, and hel(
a conversation with the passengers. A
9:50 they were over Long Point, Can
nda, the scene of the great fight betweei
Morrissey and lleenan. Soon tliey hai
traversed nearly the entire length o
Lake Erie, a distance of 250 miles, ac
complishing it in three hours.
At 10.} o'clock they had Lakes Eri
and Ontario in sight. The balloon hai
again attained an altitude ot nearly ;
mile. A terrible storm was surging be
Death them, the trees waving ana til
waves dashing against the shores o
Erie in an awfully tempestuous manner
Now, like a gurgle, came the subdue*
sounds of the plashing and headlonj
cataract of Niagara.
At 11 o'clock, having skimmed ove
the lake shore, still bound castwardly
the balloon brought them in sight o
Buffalo and Niagara Falls, as also tin
Welland Canal. They had reached :
height of more than a mile, the barome
ter marking 23.6 inches. At 12} the}
were nearly between the falls and Bui
falo, inclining rather to the left of tin
latter. The famous falls wore quite in
significant. There was to the voyaeei:
i descent of seemingly about two ieet
ind the water seemed to be perleeth
' ? ? ii._
motionless, me spray gave me ?uu?
in appearance :is of ice, and there wa;
notliinj? grand or sublime about it.
Passing the western terminus of tin
Erie canal, the balloon was borne direclj
:oward Lake Ontario. The ballast win
low nearly exhausted, and to have dc
jermined on crossing the second laki
ivould have been sheer recklessness anc
tardihood. Here it was debated whethej
t were better to land Messrs. Gager anc
ftyde and in their stead take in a sulli
;ient quantit of new ballast and agair
iteer for the Atlantic ocean. The ail
ship was lowered, but was immediately
- aught in the hurricane which was tlici
aging, and carried very near the tops o
rees, which were bending and swaying
*) and fro by tJ"* * -??'ce of the wind. Mr
..a Mountain at once threw over tin
mckets and their contents, and the lif
his gave them kept them from beini
rushed in the woods.
Like a bullet they shot out into tin
ake. The boat was got in readiness
ind the trooping winds sent them ou
)f sight of land. "They were in a drear
vaste of 7,000 square miles of water
U length they neared the dashiug bi
ows. The steering machinery waseu
iway, and they arose like a feather. Foi
i time the ship was buoyed out of tin
vay of danger, but she frequently dartec
iow.uward. as though bent on destrue
ion. Carpet acks, overcoats, provis
ons, everything was pitched into tin
ake. La Mountain finally cut away tin
ining of the boat. The oars were sen
rfter the lining. Everything had now
jone but an overcoat and two blankets
vhieh were saved to be used sis a fina
esort. A propeller, Young America
>ore down to their relief, but theyjscud
led some hundreds of feet before' hei
jows, and that hope failed..
Finally, after skismishing within thirtj
eet of the dark waves lor a distance o
lot less than fifty miles, and perhaps
oore, they were out of danger of drownng;
but a new peril was before them
riie hurricane blew them into a dens(
brest which skirted the lake and threatned
to tear them limb from limb. Mr
Jagcr had thrown out the anchor, j
teavy iron one, with three hooks, eael;

apid was tlieir llielit that this stood oui
icarly straight from the car. As th(
xapnel swung against the trees ol
noderate size, the velocity of the balloor
ind its terrible strength would tear then
lown and l'ing them to the ground
Jne by one the Iiooks broke oft', and the]
vere again at the mercy of an all-sweep
ng wind. Messrs. La Mountain anc
iyde held on to the valve rope, endeav
>ring to discharge the gas, but wer<
[Uickly compelled to release their grasp
ind cling to the concentrating hoop t<
ivoid being thrown out.
The balloon actually went through i
nile of forest, and, te:iring down tree
md breaking branches, pursued its re
listless course, dashing the party in tin
billow car to and fro, against trunk:
md limbs, until the stout netting ha<
jroken, little by little, and the ballooi
tself had no longer any protection, when
striking a tall tree, the silk was punc

ribbons, leaving the car suspended b;

Hie course ol the balloon through tin
svoods left a path similar to that of i
;ornado. Trees half the size of a man'
body were snapped in twain as thougl

svero scattered like leaves.
The landing was made within 15
yards of a settlement, and the crash wa

^ Send For mother.
" Dear me! it wasn't enough for me to
nurse and raise a family of my own, but
,e now, when I am old and expect to have
a little comfort here, it is all the time,
' Send for mother!'" And the dear old
n soul growls and grumbles, and dresses
l" herself as fast as she can, notwithstanding.
After you liave trotted her off, and
n got her safely in your home, and she
it llits around administering remedies and
rebukes by turns, you feel easier. It's
h all right now, or soon will be?mother's
1S come! In sickness, no matter who is
there, or how many doctors quarrel over
e your case, everything goes wrong somehow
till you send for mother. In trouble,
the first thing you think of is to send
for mother.
'? - But this has its ludicrous as well as its
lt touching aspect. The verdant young
couple, to, whom baby's extraordinary
a grimaces and alarming yawns, whicn
ie threaten to dislocate its chin; its wonderful
sleeps, which it accomplishes
s with its eyes half open, and no percepti,r
ble flutter of breath on its lips, causing
the young mother to imagine it is dead
u this time, and to shriek out: "Send for
mother!" in tones of anguish?this young
couple, in the light of the experience
. which three or four babies bring, find
:s that they have been ridiculous, and
18 given mother a good many trots for
nothing.
it Did you ever send for mother and she
e failed to come? Never, unless sickness
and infirmities of age prevented her. As
is when in your childhood, those willing
ir feet responded to your call, so they still
do, and will continue to do as long
as they are able. And when the summons
comes, which none yet disregarded,
though it will be a nappy day
for her, it will be a very sad one for you,
when God, too, will send for mother!

Newspaper Borrowers.
An exchange recently published a letter
from a lacfy subscriber in which she
!r complained bitterly of the annoyance
she experienced from the habit her fei
male neighbors had of constantly bar's
rowing her paper. The exchange failed
c- to advise her on the subject, ana as the
matter is a seriou3 one we have ourselves
?t looked about for some method of relief,
id find now think we can offer the suffering
>r lady and all others similarly situated an
adequate moans of succor. Here is our
n plan: Let the lady immediately upon receiving
the paper carefully cut from it
some item?it makes no particular difference
what it is?most any item will do,
only let it be neatly arid carefully re^
moved from the paper. Then the fois*
owing proceeding will be sure to ensue:
S In a few moments the neighbor's boy
will come after the paper?he will take
1- it liome?within three minutes he will
>r emerge from the house?he will scoot
3-1 down sLreet and very shortly return with
a folded newspaper 01 me shiup u?ie na
ie the one just borrowed. By the time the
|e clfpped paper has circled round among:
?s all the female borrowers, the street will
j. be lively with hurrying boys, and the
revenue of the newspaper will be mater,
ially increased. Not one woman among
'them all would be able to sleep a wink
1' without knowing just exactly what that
I ? cut out item was. The next day the
lady will pursue the same course, and
similar results will surely follow. In
an extremely obstinate neighborhood
,lfc these proceedings have to be repeated
in three or four days, but not longer. By
that time the lady will be able to read
her paper in peace, and the newspaper
n finances will be the painer through seveal
t. new subscribers. The rule is infallible
:d where the borrowers are females, but it
id can't be vouched for in the case of men.
There isn't that inherent curiosity to
a work upon, you know, and?and?but
|e perhaps we arc getting a little too deep.

|j. A Persian merchant deposited with
j his correspondent in another city one
ly hundred mans of iron (four thousand
pounds), and went on his journey. On
. his way homeward he asked for the re
| turn of his deposit, and was told that
there was a hole in the store by which a
mouse had got in and eaten up all the
iron. The merchant knew that he had
been robbed, but dissembled and said:
" Thou speakest the truth, for mice have
;h great fondness for iron, and their teeth
w have great power over such a juicy and
s* tender morsel." The other, looking upon
with surprise, set him down for a fool,
?h and feeling himself quite safe, invited
him to a feast, at which he should meet
ir some of the neighbors. The merchant
id accepted the invitation, but as he took
in his departure he contrived to inveigle
s. away t^e son of the man who had beal
trayed his trust When the hour for the
is feast had nearly arrived, the merchant
proceeded to the house ofhis entertainer,
whom he found distraet?d with grief at
the loss of iiis boy. The other inquired
<s what sorl of a boy he was, and, on hear!{j
ing him described, declared that he saw
a sparrow-hawk fly awav with just such
a a lad. The father lost all patience with
such trifling, and called bis guest nn
t idiot?to suppose that a small bird could
\ carry oil a big boy. The merchant repf
joined: "In a city where a mouse de:
vours a hundred mans of iron, what
j ! wonder if a sparrow-hawk should carry
1U off a lad?" Then the faithless trustee
'K saw that his roguery was discovered,
ct and hastened to assure the merchant
that his iron was quite sale, who in his
^ turn relieved the paternal mind of all
farther anxiety about the boy.

Slanghter on a Michigan Railroad.
One of the most shocking disasters that has'
ccurred -in the West since Ashtabula, and
no of the most frightful in the history oi the
licln'gan railroads, has befallen a train on the
lichigun Central4iailroad, which left Detroit
t half-past ten r. St., lorty minutes behind
ime. The train was the west bound Paciflc
xpress, and was composed of lourtocn cars?
even Wagner sloepers, lour passenger coaches
nd three mail and baggage cari. Next to the
lail car was au emigrant and second-class
ar, nearly filled with passengers. At Jackon,
Mich., the train, while going at a high
ate ol speed, ran into a switch engino, telecoping
the baggage and express cars and
rushing the four passenger coaches. Hie
ccnes which followed the collision were heartending
in the extreme. When the baggage
ar came in contact with the crushed coaches
here was a lioap ol bruised, bleeding and
lying human beings, whose moans and cries
1 distress filled the air. Mutilated bodies of
he dead could DC seen among uio uenris 01 mu
weekod coaches. Under the shapeless mass
which was once the express engine were the
odiea of the engineer and flreraan, which
. ere extricated as soon as possible. Death
o them and many of the other victims must
iavo been instantaneous. The engineer and
Iremun of the switch engine seeing their peril
a timo leaped from their places and escaped
ajury. The lateness ot the hour and the
larkness ol the night rendered the work of exricating
the victims necessarily a slow and
edious one, but scores ot ready hands were
.ctively engaged in doing all that could bo
lone under the distressing circumstances.
Jany trying and touching incidents occurred,
nd many acts of heroism were recorded. The
addest caso w:m tbat of Willie liice, a fairlaired
and bright-eyed littlo boy, four years of
ge, whoso lather and mother and sisters were
11 killed. He was found clasped in his dead
notlior's arms, and so lastened in the wreck
hat it took three hours wjth axes and other
mplements to extricate him. His lett leg
rus broken and his left arm and chin badly
ut. His iamily lived in Philadelphia, and
were on their way to some point in the West,
.'he news ol the disaster soon spread through
ackson, and by daylight the crowds at the
cene ot the catastrophe were numbered by
lundreds and greatly hindered the work ol the
escuers, and required the constant efforts and
watchfulness ot the police. The railroad oftiers
summoned hacks, omnibuses and whatver
vehicles could be obtained, and convoyed
he passengers and wounded to the city and
rovided lor their immedkte wants, while the
itizens did all in their power to mitigate ilie
orrors of the accident. More than twenty
ersons were killed and about thirty wounded,
ome totally. Most ol the dead and injured
rero taken out of the emigrant car, which reeived
the heaviest force ol tho collision.
A Terrible Suicide.
One of the most horrible eases of selflestruetion
on reeord was that of Frank
I. Lensing, an old German, which ocurred
last week in Louisville, Ky.
For the past year Lensing has been in
11-healtli and unable to work. The
onstancy of his sickness, together with
Jd age and a broken-down consmuuim,
iad affectcd his mind, and of late he
ave evidence of softening of the brain,
le was fdown-lie.irted, frequently exressed
himself as being tired of living,
nd had attempted, it is said, to end his
ife several times before.
About 7:30 o'clock on the evening of
he tragedy his wife left, at his request,
o get somo buttermilk for him. There
ras no one save him at home after his
rife went away, and he took advantage
f her absence to put into execution the
srriblc plan that had been conceived in
lis addled brain. For this purpose ho
rent into a small room used as a kitchen,
/here there was kept a small can of coal
il. This can he deliberately picked up
nd poured its inflammable contents all
ver his head, face and shoulders, until
ewas completely saturated. This dene,
ie lit a match and set fire to his clothtig.
which, or course, blazed up like a
lowder magazine.
It is probable that he inhaled the
lames, and that death ensued shortly
fter the torch was lighted, causing less
aisery and preventing him from
creaming. While Mr. Lensing was
ip stairs killing himself, the people bedw
remained in blissful ignorance until
Irs. Brumlcve happened to noticesmoke
3suiug from a back window, of which
act she informed her husband, who
ushed up stairs expecting to find the
touse on fire. He attempted to open the
loor of the room whence the smoke isued,
but found it fastened. Assistance
yas summoned, and the barrier broken
lown.
The room was full of smoke, but the
niserable old man's body could be seen

The Armies of the Powers.
A Vienna correspondent of the Londo
Standard writes: The recent newspap<
war between Germany and Russia, hai
ing given rise to many speculations cor
cerr.mg the offensive and defensive pow<
of several European states,[some partici
lars respecting various armies whic
have been furnished to me on good ai
thority may be read with interest at th
moment.
Germany has 2,550,000 soldiers, wb
can be marched in twenty-four houi
after their being called out, as all tt
quartermaster's arrangements are mac
in time !of peace to enable this to I
done. From this total must be deduct*
200,000 for the fortresses, 150,000 for tt
coasts and against Denmark, and 100
000 ior depots; so that 2,100,000 men ai
available for real wpxfare. and the la
of whom would only require a fortnigl
at the most to be on the frontier. Tt
border fortifications on the French sic
are completely finished, and are full
armed. They are furnished with larf
stores of provisions, and communicai
with the interior of the country b
means of good railways. France ha
of course, good fortresses also on tb
German frontier, and these are strengtl
ened by smaller barricading forts, du
in addition to the fact that they will n(
be completed and in thorough workir
order before 1881, Germany has the at
vantage of a convex frontier whic
would facilitate concentric attacks, sue
as are regarded by military authority
as the most successful.
The strength of the French army i
on paper, 3,600,000, but Sir Garni
Wolseley, as well as other authorise
calculates it as only about 1,800,00
among whom arc more than 600,000 in
drilled men. Besides, this, the state <
the territorial army and the Garde Mc
bile is so doubtful that France is consi(
ered to have ready for the beginning <
a war not more than 1,000,000, of who]
400,000 must be deducted for garrison
etc., leaving 600,000 really available f<
action.
Russia's force, although given on pap<
at 1,800,000 men, cannot, as was e:
plained at the beginning of the recei
dispute, exceed 400,000 men on the Ge
man frontier.
The wealthiest man in Kalamazo
Mich., was approached in the street I
an excited little boy,who said: " Miste
my sister is in the flume, over there;
you'll get her out I'll give you a dollar
The man rescued the imperiled chili
A few days afterward the boy enteri
his office and put on his desk a dollar j
small coin, having broken open a t*
bank and sold a hobbyhorse to raise tl
amount.
In DUtrlct* formerly Ravaged
By fever and ague, immunity from the dread
Hconrco :a enjoyed by those who have render
their systems malaria proof with Hostettei
Stomach Bitters, the beat preventive ai
remedy. Quinine cannot compare with it
efficacy, and is anything bat safe. Phyaicia
commend the Bitters fox its remedial and i
suscitnting properties, and the closest analyt
reveals nothing in the composition of a del
teriouH nature. It does not deteriorate, is i
agreeable cordial as well as a potent medicii
and when mixed with brackish or unwhol
some water neutralizes its hurtful propertii
The denizens of malarious localities, not on
in the United States, but the tropics, regard
as an invaluable protection, and in hosts
lamilies it is kept constantly on hand. .
the tido of emigration spreads farther we
ward the demand for it among those compell
to encounter the vioissitudes cf climate co
stantly increases.
