The balloons and appa ratus for the manufacture of the £as were procured without much difljeufe' ty, but an aeronaut was not so easy to obtain. Borne of the officers of the engineer corps agreed to make the first trip in the balloon which was to afford a view of the Confederate oper ations. -Porter watched their prepar ations with kgen interest. Just as they had everything ready he stepped into the basket of the clumsy gas bag to see that every thinghad been proper ly prepared. While he was examining the machine it slipped from the grip of the men who held it and shot like an arrow up into the air, carrying Porter as its lone passenger. He had never been in a balloon before and knew nothing whatever about mau- eging one. “A stifl breeze was blowing and the great bulb flew like a bird away from tlie astonislied camp, uutil it became a mere speck in the sky and then fad ed completely from sight. Not a man who watched it disappear expected that lie would ever see Porter alive again. He started on his wild flight at 7 o’clock in the morning. The day wore away with the camp in a state of great cpinmotion over the probable death of its favorite oflicer. When night came and nothing had been seen of the balloon it was the general conviction that Porter had eitherb^en killed by a fall from bis ba>hSon or had been captured by iUfe/Confeder- algs.

Old rats know too much, and can only be caught by kindness. To destroy Jbein, give them a good meal every Do not put any poison in the I look over the prospect and beholfl only one dull, dirty, yellow mass of water. No sign of life presents Itself, except the fast-running current and the birds of prey that soars overhead. Men have been to me already, ask ing for work and saying that they had &.iten the last in their houses. I can not jlnd them work. Thousands are in the 3^me condition, here and else where. ^it£e disastrous result of last year cropping' caused many to begin this year in debt,and they are estopped from what they might otherwise do. What are we to do? The disaster is widespread. I do not know that it will be as severely felt in other sec tions as here but Imre we stand to-day on the brink of a fai,iine. What are we to do? The State is the only power we can appeal to. She is the legitimate protector of her citi zens. It is her part to .secure them in life prosperity and liberty. We should have concerted action, and we should act before the dire emergency of a starving people is on us. Let the Legislature be called togeth er to devise the ways and means. Borne will say it will cost top much. Well, if the necessary relief £an be given without this expense, by all means let us have it. If not, the ex- j peuse will be but a bagatelle in compur j ison with the relief to be given or in contrast with the sufiering that will ensue. There are yet three and a half months to the meeting of the next Legislature and in this space of time relief oughtto be found for many. I offer these suggestions in order that attention may he directed to the condition of affairs and some means devised for relief. Respectfully, BexJ. Allston. Exchange, July 13, 188G. the wants of this suffering outcast. This utterly friendless man, who ip left to die like a dog, was not always a felon, and in other days he had troops of friends. In the first flush of his bright manhood Franklin J. Moses was regarded as one of the most brilliant of South Carolina’s sons. But his good fortune was his ruin. Success maddened him. He became the-most prodigal ruler that ever sat in a Governor’s chair. In bis vain desire to give his State a dazzling administration he fell an easy prey to unscrupulous flatterers who knew how to make thrift follow fawning. The Governor of a great commonwealth became the accom plice of swindlers. Disgraced and scorned by his own people he left the executive mansion and became a wan derer on the face of the earth. His recent history is painfully fa miliar. Time and again within the past few years the penniless exile has yielded to temptation, or to necessity, and lie has paid the penalty. From jail to jail, and from prison to prison this broken man lias gone, never escaping the consequences of his pet ty transgressions. Now, at the age of fifty, when he should be in his prime, he is cut oil' from his kindred and the friends of his youth, and forgotten and uncared for, is left to die a felon’s death. * Men will say that it is just. They will^ay it is a warning example. It is more than all this.

Savannah News. /Shortly after 9 o’clock Monday pight the attention of the watchman on board of the British bark Lom bardian, lying at the Savannah, Flori da and Westorn railway wharf, was attracted by the cries of some one in the water. On looking over the side of the vessel he discovered a white woman in the water clinging to the. spilling of the dock.

At first they may not touch it, but keep it before them, making it fresh daily. They will soon try a little, and if not inju rious their suspicions will be allayed. In a week or ten days they will ex pect it, and every rat on the place will be at the appointed spot for the treat* Give plenty of it, §o as to induce all the rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do not be in a hurry to poison them. If they eat all the food, give them » larger quantity next time. As soon as they have thrown efT all sus picion go to your druggist, get some phosphorus paste or other rat poison, mix it with the food and be sure you give them enough and something to spare, so as to induce all to eat. They will either be killed or become so sus picious of all food as to leave, and not a rat will remain. Hence to destroy rats, take plenty of time, gain their confidence and finish them when they least expect it. Social Classification in Jail. Detective in Globe-Democrat. There is noplace in the world where there is such a distinct classification of society as in jail. I found that out when I was cultivating Mr. Max- well’s society and pumping oncS'nfes- sion out of him. The aristocracy are the fellows in for murder. They, as a rule, maintained a dignified reserve, and are addressed Mr. jgo-and-So by the other prisoners. On the other hand they call their fellow-prisoners John or Bill. The next grade are the pro fessional crooked men. There is a great rivalry between them and the murderers as to which really form the j creme-de-la-creme, and the conse quence is coldness exists. They speak j of each other’s crimes in a slighting manner and depreciate one another’s villiany. The lower classes are represented by the sneak-thieveg, the tramp crooks and amateurs. They are looked upon with contempt by those who have progressed further in crimes, and not associated with. On their part they recognize their unworthiness and are meek and lowly, esteeming it a favor to do the boss criminals some little ser vice. There is an unwritten law estab lishing these grades, and ir is never violated. ' A young lady in Chambersburg shows her fondness for pets by bring ing up a young pet pig.

Wasiiingtox, July 21.—Professor TalnLoi , at tbo Bt’l 1 .aLciutory, to day gave a private exhibition of bla curious invention, the graphophone. The machine is an improvement on the Edison phonograph. If is of the simplest construction, consisting, ap parently, ofa small brass cylinder and a couple of rubber-bound wheels con necting with another smaller brass shaft and operated by a small balance wheel, with a thumb crank. On the larger cylinder or shaft is placed a close-fitting tube, covered -•♦iiK wax and paraffin** —HnrTower shaft, i*>*rr-fTfches distant from and parallel with the other, is cut a fine screw thread. On this rest a gutta-per cha tube, the lower end fastened in a socket piece,which fits to the threads, the upper end jresting lightly on a wax cylinder. Close inspection shows that the upper ends of this gutta-perchei tube has a small lancet-like knife, and this connects by fine silk thread with a vibrating diaphragm. To this dia phragm, which corresponds to the drum of the ear is attached a speaking tqbe about a foot long, in the flaring end of which the operator talks. As he speaks he turns a wheel, the wax cyliner revolves and the thread ed shaft carries the gutta-percha lever along, the lancet cutting a fine thread in the wax corresponding with the spiral thread. The depth of the cutting is regulated by the force of the sound waves on the diaphragm through the thread connection. As soon as the operator has concluded sneaking the tube or receiver is removed and a sounding tube is substituted. The lan cet tube is set back at the beginning, the wheel turned and the knife run ning through the same lines of the wax gives back the same sounds. Tiie professor read from ("a newspa per in a natural tone of vtoce and the same tone was repeated loud enough to be heard by every one In thj room. He then talked in a.rich the rising and fall ing inflection, and the iilBfc&HBlenc? peated it as many times as it was ground over. Then Mr. Maguire, Professor Bell’s private secretary, sang “Annie Laurie” to it, the sweet strains being given off afterwards at the will of the operator. The voice of the singer and every peculiar intona tion would have been recognized by those who had ever heard him sing It is proposed to run the machine by A List of Cajulidates Nominated for the iBtate Offices.

Instead of thinking what she should have atr tended to before going to bed, she thinks of it afterward. While she is revolving these matters In her mind, and while snugly tucked up in bed the old man is scratching his legs in front of the fire and wondering how he will pay the next month’s rent. Sudr deniy she exclffinje: “James, did you lock the door?” ’ “Which door?” s^s James. “The cellar door,” say she. “No,” says James. “Well, you had better go down and lock it, for I heard some one in the back yard last night.” Accordingly James paddled down the stairs and locks the door. About the time James returns and is going to bed she remarks: “Did you shut the stair door?” “No,” says James. “Well, if it is not shut the cat get up in the chamber.” “Let her come up, then.,’ James, ill-naturedly. “My goodness, no!” returned his wife; “she’d suck the baby’s breath ” Then James paddles down-stairs again and steps on a tack and closes the stair door and curses the cat, and returns to the bedroom. Just as he begins to climb into his conch his wife observed: “I forgot to bring up come water, suppose you bring up some in the big tin.” And so James with a muttered curse goes down into the dark kitchen and falls over a chair, and rasps all the tin ware oflT the wall in search for the “big” tin, and then jerks the stair door open and howls: “Where the dueceare the matches?” She gives him a minute direction where to find the matches, and, adds that she would rather go and get the water herself than have the whole neighborhood raised about it. After which James finds the matches, pro cures the water and comes up stairs and plunges into bed. Presently his wife says: “James let’s have an understaqding about money matters. Now, next week I’ve got to pay “I don’t know what you’ll ha pay, and don’t care!” shouts J no I ure ii os 'iffWfiW- anil "ja against the wall; “all J^want sleep.” “That’s all very well for you,” his wife, as she pulls the covej ly; “you never think of the^ trouble I have.

The secret underlying this infamous outrage is that Rasures had won the affections of a woman of whom Ch*e£ Mondraghan was enamored. Mondra- ghan, swearing revenge, detailed two of his trusted lieutenants one night to murder his rival. Rasures badly disa bled his assailants and escaped to Eagle Pass. Mondraghan, however, determined upon his removal, trumped up a charge of horse theft against him and had him extradited and shot. The night that Rasures was delivered to the Mexican authorities, Mondraghan left for Saltillo, not, however, before having delivered orders to his Lieu tenants to execute Rasures. The victim, in a pathetic letter, ap pealed to United States Consul Lynn to save him, saying that he was an American citizen, guiltless of any trangression against any law and that Mondraghan had had him arrested to gratify his vengeance. This letter was delivered to Consul Lynn ten hours after its author had been basely shot.
