A- TERRIBLE ADVENTURE.
The story I am about to relate hap
pened during the Franco-Prussian war,
in which th art of ballooning played so
prominent a part. The city of Paris was
formally invested on the 24th ofSeptem
bj'and the imprisoned inhabitants had
no nrea is of communication with the
outside world, save by carrier pigeons
and ' balloons. So complete however,
was the system ctrricd out that every
event which happened in Paris was du
ly chronicled at. Tours, the seat of gov
erning powers, dispatch balloons jour
neying to and fro daily.
It is six o'clock' a. m. The morning
is extremely fine considering that it is
late in October. On an immense open
space in front of the large hall at Tours,
a space set apart for the accommodation
of numerous ex pcrienced aeronauts then
enploycd in the government service,
walks to and fro Monsieur Gustave Na
dar, one of the most celebrated profes
sors of aerostation. Occasionally he look
ed up at the heavens, as if taking a crit
ical survey, and anon he turns his gaze
in the direction of a huge balloon, then
fn the pou'rse of being filled a short dis
tance from him. Anyone could see that
Monsieur Nadar was getting impatient.
He is waiting the arrival of the private
secretary of the minister with impor
tant dispatches, which hie was to convey
thdt day to Paris' It is a service of
great danger'. The intrepid voyager
will have to pass over the Prussian lines
Where thousands of men engaged in grim
visaged war will watch him and secretly
hope for some accident Ui befall him.
His balloon the VIntrepide," sways about
majestically, as though chafing under
t:he restraint put upon it.
All is prepared, when Monsieur Barre,
"the secretary, appears, carrying with
hiih a packet of document neatly tied
up, and presenting them to Monsieur
Nadar, speaks a few words of caution
and explanation. -The teronaut takes
the packet, and in company with , the
secretary, hurVies to the balloon. Na
daf springs lightlylnto the car, be stoops
and, places the precious documents in a
kinct of secret pocket, artfully concealed
under the drapery. Having done .this
he looked around thoughtfully at the
necessary paraphernalia placed ready to
hand, as though ; mentally Assuring
himself that his assistants had omitted
nothing toward the means of carrying
out bis perilous voyage, in safely. Fi
nally he tightened a strong belt which
tfe wore around his waist from which
could be seen a pair of bright looking
ix chambered revolvers. In a quiet
but firm tone he called to the men,
"Make ready." Then shaking hands
hurriedly with Monsieur Barre, who
wiBhed him success the men grasped the
ropes and eased the huge machine np
some ten or fifteen feet, when directly
canv the sharp command, UU go."

wafted it, as it were, at an angle with
the course pursued. The effect of
this was to cause the balloons to cross,
the Prussian at on6 time being below.
It sealed his doom, for Nadar, watching
his chance, with breathless anxiety,
made all ready, and at the very instant
of crossing he cut away the grappling
iron which hung underneath the car.
With a crush it tore through theene-l
nay's balloon. Thought could hardly be
quicker than the flight to earth, a shape
less mass.
Monsieur Nadar, after this extraor
dinary victory, descended to the current
of air he had been before journeying in
and, although an hour beyondjthe usual
time for accomplishing the passage,
Paris was reached by him, and his dis
patches were delivered in safety. - 7
For this heroic, act he received a unan
imous vote of thanks from the then ex
isting government, besides a handsome
monetary acknowledgement. Nadar
performed many other journeys during
the war, but none that brought him into
such close proximity with the Prussians
as his aerial combat.
had arrived. Monsieur Nadar was three
thousand metres iu the air, and ovtr
the opposing forces of the Prussians,
which appeared as though a liliputian
host had taken to the field, so minute
did they appear by distance. Fort Char
enton was reached, and Paris could be
plainly observed. Monsieur Nadar qui
etly .congratulated himself Vljou the
ease with which he accomplished his
journey. He was taking but little heed
of the surrounding prospect, his eyes be
ing fixed intently upon the distant cap ital.
' ';" :
Suddenly an exclamation "of surprise
came from him. On his right hand ap
peared a huge balloon. He shades his
eyes with his right hand to gain a clear
er view, for the sun's rays were bright
and strong in illuminating the atmos
phere around him. A second one came
to view on his left hand. Monsieur Na
dar became alarmed, although long be- 1
fore he had mentally resolved to die
rather than suffer himself to be made a
prisoner.
The French colors were soon flying
from the car of the Intrepide. Both the
strange, balloons immediately responded
by exhibiting the same tokens of nation
ality. ' ' ;
"Friends, by all that's lucky I" ex
claimed the excited Monsieur Nadar.
But Vain were his endeavors" to make
out the faces of his "friends," They
studiously kept them turned from him.
Nearer and nearer the machines were
drawn toward each other.. The occu
pant of the car beneath the first balloon
was now near enough to be hailed by
Monsieur Naear. . .
'Hello r shouted the aeronaut of the
government.
"Holloa 1" answered the stranger. .
"Who are you ? What is your name,
and what is your purpose?" were ques
tions asked one after another,. in tones
of hurried excitement.
"I am beside you, MonsieurNadar,"
came in reply, "you see I know you.
As to my name it is Carl Yon Pack," the
principal aeronaut of the Prussian forces
now in thousands below us, and I am
going to carry you a prisoner to them."
. At the conclusion of the above re
marks t he Prussian hauled in the rencn mCa timo and m0ney as politicians,
colors, substituting in their place those 1 an(j know too little about political
of his own nation. He had, in point of
fact, been sent up by the Prussian com
mander less with a view to capture the
aeronaut himself than to obtain posses
sion of his dispatches.

Rough on Atlanta Drummers.
Journal-Observer.
Drummers are a happy class of peo
ple, and are sad only when they sing.
Even in their dreams they are happy.
The fraternity tell it about the hotels
that one of their number who had fre
quently run afoul of the Atlanta drumf
mers, by whom he was considerably an-
Bbyed, at last had a dream about them.
The drummer who had the dream was a
baking powder representative, and is a
man from the yeast. He told the boys
about his dream as follows ; "I dreamed
the other night that I died, and went as
a matter of course, to purgatory. I
looked around and met burning drum
mers from almost every city of impor
tance in the Union. There was a meat
man from Chicago, a shoe man from
Boston, an umbrella man from New
York and so on, but not a solitary drum
mer from Atlanta did I see. I thought
it strange that so great a city as Atlan
ta should not be represented, and to
learn the cause I hunted, up the devil
and asked him why it was that the gate
city of Georgia was not represented in
his vast assemblage. Without a word
he led me to a large chamber and' un
locked the door. He pointed to a num
ber of men hanging up from the ceiling
and said ; "These are Atlanta drum
mers, and they are being hung up to
dry. They are entirely to green to
burn." .
economy and the science of staple and
economical, successful public policy.
Our actions are governed too much
by passion, prejudice and partisan feel
ing, and not enough by a broad Intel"
Monsieur Nadar, nothing daunted , J iigent, liberal and patriotic conception
auicklv and fearlessly retorted : "Thank
you, perhaps you'll capture me first."
And your companion yonder ?" he ad
ded, pointing to the other balloon,, as
yet out of speaking distance.
"You'll soon discover," replied his
antagonist, at the same time firing at
him with a revolver, the latter taking
effect by passing through the neck of
Intrepide, just above the Frenchman's
head. The gas passed out with a hiss
ing sound from the bullet holes, but
Nadar was equal to the occasion, for in
a moment the punctures were stopped
with a strongly adhesive substance
which he carried with him lit case of an
emergency. It was evidently the de
sire of the Prussian to aim at. the aero
naut rather than to destroy the balloon,
for the second shot passed through the
cordage close to him. Swift as thought
Monsieur Nadar thought of a ruse to
deceive the enemy, for on the second
shot he threw up his hands with a loud
cry and dropped out of sight in the car.
The Prussian, thus deceived, raised
himself to his full height, and for the
first time during the novel warfare
stood exposed to full view, waiving his
hat with joy in anticipation of hia prize.
Nadar only required the opportunity,
for a well aimed shot from his revolver
tumbled the fellow over, with fearful
groan 'of agony. He directly poured
five or six successive shots into the body
of the balloon, which instantly began to
settle down on its way to the earth,
bearing with it the dead body of ita
late exultant owner. Our hero' atten
tion was now called to enemy number
two, who bad got near enough to fire,
but. had made no attempt to do so.
Monsiea Nadar conceiving it was hia
intention to grapple with him flung ont
a bag of ballast and quickly rose above
the coming enemy. The alteration of
altitude brought the Intrepide in con-

of the duties Which American citizen

We are too superficial and impatient,
and lack the clear purpose and persist
ent, patient application necessary to
permanent success.
We depend too much on our "sharp
ness," and "cuteness," and readiness to
take advantage of circumstances, and
not enough upon earnest honest labor.
We talk and read too m aun , and think
and act too little. '
We spread ourselves over too great a
surface and thus fail to dig deep enough
in one place for the nuggets that will

We lack in that higher morality which
frowns down venality and elevates and
encourages purity of life.probity of con

Fretting.
, One fretter can destroy the peace of
mmmlly, can disturb the harmony of
a neighborhood, can unsetle the coun
cils of cities and under the legislation of
a nation. He who frets is never the one
who mends, who heals, who repairs
evils; more he discourages, enfnbles, and
too often disables those around him,
who but for the gloom and depression
of his ocompany, would do good work
attd keep up brave cheer. - The effect
upon a sensative person in the mere
neigborhood of a fretter is indlscribable
It is, to the soul what a cool, scy mist is
to the body more chilling ; than the
bitterest storm. And when the fretter
is one who is beloved, whose nearemess
of relation to us makes bis fretting at
the wether seem like a personal re
proach to us, then the misery of it be
comes indeed insupportable. Most men
call fretting a minor fault a foible, and
not a vice. There is no vice except
drunkenness which can so utterly destroy
the peace and the happiness of home.
Happiness.
When you rise in the morning form
the resolution to make the day a happy
One to a fellow-creature. It is easily
done; a left-off gannent to the man who
needs it; a kind word to the sorrowful;
and encouraging expression to the
striving trifles in themselves as light as
air will do at least for twenty-four hours,
and if you are young, depend upon it, it
will tell on you when you are old; and if
you are old, rest assured it will send
you gently and happily down the stream 1
of time to eternity. By the most rriui
ple arithmetical sum, look at the result.
If you send one person away happily
through the day,' that is 365 in the course
of a year. And suppose you live forty
years only after you commence that
course of medicine you have made 14,

Henry Brooks, a well-to-do colored
man, of this town, left here a few weeks
since for Washington, D. C, carrying
with him his wife, and children. He
sold his house and lot and all bis goods,
chattels, and went north for tbe purpose
of getting more lucrative employment.
He arrived in Washington and every
few days since he has written to his friends
here for money enough to bear his ex
penses back. So far as we can learn
none of his friends have responded to
bis entreaties and we suppose Henry is
in right embarrassed circumstances by
this time. This should be a warning to
the colored people and teach them to
