It made me dizzy to think of it.Above, below, and upon all sides was a dense, damp chilly fog.Upon looking closer, large drops of rain could be seen, silently falling down out of sight into what seemed bottomless space.I was alone, a mile from the earth, in the midst of a rain-cloud and the silence of the grave.Moreover, I had sole charge of the balloon; if it had not been for this fact I could have taken a little comfort, as I had no confidence in my ability to manage it.A rain-storm upon earth is accompanied by noise ; the patter of the rain upon the houses, trees, and walks always attends the storm; while bere, although the drops were large, they could not be heard falling upon the balloon or its belongings.Silence reigned supreme.\u2018The quiet spoken of by Dr.Kane and other Arctic explorers as existing in the northern regions, was a hubbub beside this place.More tissue-paper was thrown out; seeing that it seemed to ascend, I knew that the apparatus was slowly descending, being brought down by the weight of rain upon it.Soon the earth was in view.How peaceful and quiet it looked! Immediately the whistling of railroad trains could be heard.Now mountains could be distinguished from valleys, and the cawing of frightened crows and the shouting of men could be heard.I passed immediately over Talcott Mountain tower, where there were some two hun- ded people enjoying the day.I could plainly hear one of them blowing a horn.As the balloon slowly descended men could be seen running from all sides towards the place of landing.Now the hum of insects could be heard, and the grapnel, with a hundred feet of rope attached, was thrown out; it soon struck the ground and dragged lazily along through the turf and over the stones without getting a secure hold.It approached a man weighing three hundred pounds, who was sitting upon a stone wall all out of breath from running.Without the formality of an introduction I asked him to \u2018catch on that anchor aud stop the business.\u201d With a woe-begone look upon his lionest face and an ominous shake of the head he replied : \u2018It\u2019s no use, young fellow; 1 can\u2019t work my bellows.\u2019 But as the rope twitched along near him, lie fell upon it, and my journey was ended.\u201d r\u2014\u2014 Au

bravely in their cause ; in this installment of Horace E.Scudder\u2019s serial George Washington ouce more retires to private life ; and Henry Eck- ford explains some curious relations between letters and numbers in \u2018Wonders of the Alphabet.\u201d THE SEPTEMBER CENTURY.Liszt's last illness was announced after the September Century had gone to press ; it is due to accident, therefore rather than to purpose, that the two full-page portraits of the musician, and the intimate account by his American pupil, Albert Morris Bagby, of \u201cA summer with Liszt in Weimar,\u201d should appear in the Century so soon after his death.Alfred E.Moore, the aéronaut of the party describes in a humorous vein his sensations and mishaps in mid-air, under the title, \u2018Amateur Ballooning.\u201d His companion, John G.Doughty, recounts \u2018\u2018The Balloon Experiences of a Timid Photographer.\u201d Two illustrated articles of artistic and scientific interest are the late Minister to Persia, S.G.W.Benjamin\u2019s paper called, \u2018\u201cA Glance at the Arts of Persia,\u201d and Mrs.Emily Nunn Whitman's account of ¢\u2018The Zoological Station at Naples.\u201d The charm of an essay and the instructive observations of a student of familiar nature Are mingled in John Burroughs\u2019 \u201cNotes from the Prairie.\u201d In the eighth part of \u2018\u201c\u2019The Minister's Charge,\u201d Mr.Howells partly satisfies the great curiosity of his readers to see the way Lemuel Barker\u2019s love affairs are going.In the War Series a fertile subject leading itself to rich illustration is introduced by General Alfred Pleason- ton\u2019s \u201cSuccess and Failures of Chancellorsville.\u201d General Howard writes of \u2018\u2018Jackson\u2019s Attack upon the Eleventh Corps\u201d; Colonel Huntington W.Jackson describes ¢\u2018Sedg- wick\u2019s Assault at Fredericksburg,\u201d with the effort of relieving the pressure upon Hooker; and Samuel P.Bates, the Union Commander's literary executor, gives Hooker's version of the campaign, in the article \u2018\u2018Chancellorsville Re-visited by Hooker.\u201d in the \u2018Memoranda on the Civil War,\u201d General R.E.Colston offers a new letter showing that Lee had divined Hooker\u2019s plans; Gen.Thomas M.Anderson explains anecdotally why ¢\u201cThe Reserve at Antietam\u201d was not hurled against Lee's exhausted lines ; Captain Joel B.Erhardt quotes from a war-time letter by General William ¥.Smith as revealing General Grant's reasons for relieving the latter.Mr.Whittier replies to a statement of Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas with respect to his poem on Barbara Frietchie.The editorial department has articles on timely subjects.HARPER'S MAGAZINE for September is a strong Number, richly and

unusual variety and interest.The First Gun of the War.\u2014 In view of the contradictory statements which continue to be made concerning the firing of the first gun at Sumter, the Charleston News and Courier asked Colonel Alfred Rhett to give his recollections on the subject, and those, it will be seen, do away with most of the difficulty as making the distinction between the shell fired as à signal and the first hostile shot.Colonel Rhett says : On the morning of April 12, 1861, at about 4 :20 a.m., the batteries surrounding Fort Sumter opened fire on that fort, then held by a garrison of United States troops.From 4:30 o'clock a.m.of the 12th until 1:45 o'clock on the 13th a steady flre of shot and shell fell upon Sumter.On the morning of the 13th a fleet of the United States vessels appeared off the bar.After consultation it was decided to bring matters to a short conclusion.Two thirty-two pounders from the Sumter battery of Fort Moultrie opened with hot shot.At At 1:45 o'clock p.m.the white flag was shown from the walls of Fort Sumter.7 In the war wbich followed, which cost a million lives and desolated the fairest part of the American continent, it has been a matter of inquiry who fired the first shot in so grave a matter.On account of wide separation of the batteries surrounding Sumter, on Morris Island, James Island, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, it was necessary to arrange some signal for a general fire to be opened on Svmter in case of emergency.A white lantern run up to the head of the flag-staff of Fort Moultrie at night was to be that signal.On the 11th affairs were so strained that we expected the order to open fire at any moment.It was then decided, as Fort Johnson was so much nearer to Charleston than Fort Moul- trie, a mortar shell fired from Fort Johnson would be signal to General Ripley to run up the lantern at Fort Moultrie\u2014that being the general signal.Weeks had been passed in drill and preparation, and on the evening of the 11th, at Fort Moutrie, the gun squads were told off\u2014the men iustruc- ted to be at their posts at a moments notice\u2014and the lines of fire were marked on traverse circles with chalk for use at night.It rained after midnight and our chalk lines were nearly washed out.When the mortar-shell was fired from Fort Johnson the men were instantly at their posts and the lantern was run up.Our guns Lad been already loaded and everything was ready but the fire was not ordered until the lines had been renewed.Just as this had been done a gun had been fired from the iron battery at Comming\u2019s Point, under command of Captain George B.Cuthbert of the Palmetto guard.That gun was fired by Edward Rufflu of Virginia.The guns of the Moultrie then opened and the fire became general,

twenty years beyond his allotted time, the neighbors were very curious as to the existence of a will.For if there was none \u2018\u2018the girls\u201d would have to give up their home and \u201cdo something for a living.\u201d The little farm, which had vielded a comfortable living for three persons, when sold, aud its proceeds divided among ten, would give but a pittance to each.It was generally conceded that it would come bard on the girls.\u201d *¢ \u2018Squire Marcy was always a good provider,\u201d said Mrs.Denison to her husband, who hoped to \u2018\u2018administer\u201d the estate if no will was found.*\u2018Sabra nor Cynthy, neither of \u2019erm, have ever been stinted.They'll feel it dreadfully if they've got to give up their comfortable home and come down to earning their own bread and cheese.\u201d I shall advise the girls to bring in a bill,\u201d said Mr.Denison, \u2018\u2018a bill for their services.The probate court will allow it quicker\u2019n lightning.\u201d \u2018The girls won't bring in no bill,\u201d said his wife; \u201c\u201cSabra told me that if her father didn\u2019t set enough by them to provide for them she should not make any claim on the estate.\u201d \u201cThat's just like a woman,\u201d said Mr.Denison, testily.But no will, and no evidence that the old gentleman had ever contemplated making one, could be found.Mr.Denison received the coveted appointment, and the settlement of the estate by law went forward.Cyntha and Sabra were the children of their father's third wife.A delicate creature she had been, who accepted \"Squire Marcy's offer because, homeless and friendless, the prospect of a home tempted her.But her home was made wretched by eight children, sons and daugliters of her predecessors some of them nearly as old as herself, coarsely organized, quarrelsome, but agreeing upon one point\u2014to make life as intolerable for their young stepmother as possible.- She could not bear up under their petty persecutions.In a few years she was laid to rest with the other wives, leaving her two little girls to fight their way as best they could.It had been a hard life for the tiffären at first, buf one by one the older ones had drifted away, and finally the western fever seized upon them all, and they went, one after another, to make homes on the broad, fertile prairies.So for many years the sisters had lived happy, peaceful lives in the old homestead with their father.They were quiet, gentle women, inheriting a poetic temperament from their mother.They loved the old house and the woods about it.They kuew where the earliest spring flowers grew and where to find the brightest autumn leaves.They would not have dared to let their neighbors, who disapproved openly of their \u2018traipsing about all over the woods,\u201d know what treasures of pressed flowers and leaves they bad carefully put way.Not for worlds would Miss Cynthy have told of the timid attempts at flower-paint- ing she sometimes made in the solitude of her room.\u2018They had not felt wuch in sympathy with their neighbors heretofore, but now that real trouble had come upou them every one was kind, and the sisters found they bad many warm friends where they least expected to fiud them.They were middle-aged wowen now, well advanced in their fifth decade.Of their half-brothers aid sisters they knew little, but it was certain there would be no mercy from them.\u2018lhey would grudge the sisters the \u2018\u2018living\u201d they had, and each one would eagerly claim every penny due.Once Mr.Denison ventured to suggest his idea of a bill,\u201d but an ominous gleam in Miss Sabia\u2019s eyes warned him, and he left his sentence uafinished.\u201cCynthy,\u201d said.Miss Sabra, one bright September morning, \u2018Mr.Denison said last night that he thought brother James would here pretty soon.Don\u2019t you think we'd better look over things in the garret before he comes?I don't feel as if I could have any one but ourselves touch mother\u2019s things.\u201d \u2018Just as you think best, sister Sabra,\u201d answered Miss Cyuthy, meekly.The coming change was an ever greater grief to her than to her elder sister.She loved her old home with an almost passionate tenderness, and it secmed to her sometimes that leaving it would almost break her heart.The two sisters finished their morning tasks in silence, and without a word climbed the narrow stairs that led to the old garret.Such a treas- ure-house of family relics as it was! Not a child of all the ten whose development could not be traced in castoff clothing and old school-books.There were boxes and trunks.carefully packed, standing primly againet the wall.Old garments, dating back to old \"Squire Marcy's first wedding coat, hung above them.Near à window was a broken looking-glass, with gilt and ebony frame, the upper por- tion filled with a gay flower-piece, and Miss Cynthy, in a subdued tone, asked Miss Sabra if she didn\u2019t remember «hearing tell how sister Jemima broke that glass just before mother died The timbers of the old roof were enormous, suggesling an abundance of lumber to which we in these modern times are strangers.Many pegs and nails were driven into them, from which swung paper bags filled with dried herbs\u2014spearmint, boneset, pen- nyroyal, all diffusing a pleasant odor through the garret, which Miss Cynthy thought more agreeable ihan the huge bowls full of steaming hot herb-tea which Miss Sabra always made her swallow, her feet ina pail of hot water meanwhile, whenever se took cold.Two large wooden chests stood far back under the eaves\u2014so large that they could never have been brought up the narror stairs, but must have been built where they stood.In them were piles of old papers, years upon years of Springfield Republicans and Massachusetts Ploughmans, Old Farmer's Almanacs for more than half a century; and there were carefully cherished a pile of ¢\u2018Journals of the House,\u201d containing the doings of the legislature when \u2018Squire Marcy \u201c\u2018represented the town.\u201d Miss Cynthy gave a pitiful look into the chest, and then sat down ina basket of neatly-sewn carpet-rags and began to cry.\u2018\u2018O Sabra,\u201d she sobbed, \u2018\u2018I\u2019ve been used to seeing these things all my life.Seems as if it would break my heart to part with them.I've a great mind to bring in a bill.\u201d \u201cCynthy,\u201d said Miss Sabra, \u2018\u2018this is foolishness.There's no use in giv- in\u2019 way so.We can\u2019t help ourselves.\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d said Miss Cynthy, extricating herself from the carpet-rags and wiping her eyes, \u2018\u2018what shail we do first ?\u201d An old spinning-wheel, which had stood for years in its own nook, resting, after long service in spinning yarn for blankets and stockings to keep the Marcy's warm, quivered a little, as if with grief at the coming change, and the cradle, wherein all the little Marcy's had been rocked, rocked gently once more in a deprecatory way as the.sisters turned toward the closet, where one or two \u2018trunks, More precious than the rest, were kept, \u201cI thought we\u2019d better look over mother\u2019s things first,\u201d said Miss Sabra, opening the shutters and letting in a flood of autumn sunshine.A faint odor of camphor and cedar and pungent spices filled the closet, for this was the storeroom for winter clothing and wraps in summer.The sister's cloaks and woolen dresses hung on the wall.Broad shelves, piled with home-made blankets and patch-work quilts and comfortables, filled one side of the little apartment, and in a band-box in one corner, carefully wrapped in linen packed away in red pepper and camphor, were the sister\u2019s furs, the one spontaneous gift their father had ever given them.For Miss Sabra\u2019s and Miss Cynthy's wearing apparel usually represented sundrr sacrifices of eggs and poultry and fresh butter exchanged at the village store for something to wear.But once, when the old gentleman had made an exceptionally good sale of his fat cattle, he opened his heart and purse-strings and presented his daughters each with a set of gray squirrel furs, more precious in their eyes than sealskin or sable.\u201cWell, Cynthy,\u201d said Miss Sabra, \u2018this is the.trunk of mother\u2019s things.We'd better open it to make sure there\u2019s nothing else in it, then we'll take it down-stairs and look the things over.I guess they're all right, but \"tis three years come October since we weut through them.\u201d Miss Sabra knelt down down before the little bair trunk, studded with brass nails, fitted the key in the rusty rock aud with some difficulty turned it and raised the lid.\u2018The clothing, yellow with age, lay ncatly folded, with leaves of \u201cSweet Mary\u201d scattered through it to give a pleasant odor.But upon the top lay a folded paper, long and blue, with a formidable air of buainess about it.Why, sister,\u201d said Miss Cyuthy, \u201cwhat is that?\u201d «I don't know,\u201d said Miss Sabra, under her breath; \u201cI never put it there.l\u2019m most afraid to touch it.\u201d But Cynthy more impulsive than Sabra, had already seized and opened it.She whitened to her lips.«Sabra,\u201d she whispered, \u201cit's a will I\u201d \u201cThen,\u201d said Miss Sabra, \u2018we musn\u2019t look at it.We must go and give it to Mr.Denison right away and let him read it first.If we go right oft now we can get there in {ime to vee him when he comes home to dinner.\u201d So the sisters put on their sun-bon- nets and went \u2018\u2018oroes lots\u201d through the fields to Mr.Deuison\u2019s house, climbing fences and opening heavy gates, taking with them the mysterious document which was of such terrible © moment to them.It was duly delivered to Mr.Denison and the story of ita discovery told.\u2018And whatever could have possessed father to put it there is more than I can tell,\u201d added Miss Sabra.But Mr.Denison was already absorbed in reading the will and hardly listened to Miss Sabra\u2019s story.They waited breathlessly, trembling in every limb, wondering what was coming to them, fearing the worst, not daring to hope for good fortune.But presently Mr.Denison turned on them a beaming

quiet that all the neignbors must have considered it niggardly.\u2018Yes, it was rather quiet,\u201d responded the widower; \u2018\u2018but what did you expect?Did you want me to show my submission to

\u201csoon as you approach her for the purpose of imperial federation you will be reminded that a large part of her is French.Not only is it French, but it is becoming more French daily, and at the same time increasing in magnitude.The notion which seems to he prevalent here that the French element is dying out, is the very reverse of the fact.The French are shouldering the British out of the city of Quebec, where not more than six thousand British inhabitants are now left, and out of the eastern townships, which have hitherto been a British district; they are enoroaching on the Province of Ontario, as well as overflowing into the adjoining.states of the Union.The population multiplies apace.There, as in Ireland, the church encourages early marriage, and does not teach thrift; and were it not for the ready egress into the states we might bave Irish congestion and misery in French Canada.Had French Canada been annexed to the | United States it would no doubt have been absorbed assimilated like other alien nationalities by that vast maes of English-speaking population.As it is, instead of being absorbed or assimilated the French element rather absorbs and assimilates.Highland regiments disbanded in French Canada have become French, In time, apparently, there will hardly be anything British left in the Province of Quebec, except the commercial quarter of Montreal, where the mere en- erjetic and mercantile rade holds its ground.Had the conqueror freely used his power at first, when the French numbered only about 60,000, New France might have been made English, but its nationality hag been fostered under the British flag, and in that respect the work of conquest has been undone.It is dfficult, indeed, if Canada remains separate from the United States, to see what the limits of French extension will be.French Canada (now the Province of Quebec) is a curious remnant of the France before the Revolution.The peasantry retain their patois the pre- revolutionary character, though, of the King, the seiguear, and the priest, almost the whole is now paid to the prizst.There were seigneuries with vexatious feudal incidents ; but these have been abolished, not by legislative robbery, in which the rude Canadian is inexpert but by honest commutation.The people are a simple, kindly and courteous race, happy on little, clad in homespun, illiterate, un- progressive, priest-ridden and, whether from fatalism or from superstition, averse to vaccination whereby they brought upon themselves and their neighbors recently a fearful visitation of small pox.They are all small, very small farmers; and, looking down from the Citadel of Quebec upon the narrow slips of land, with their river fronts on the St.Lawrence, you see that here, as in old France, subdivision has been carried to an extreme.\u2014[The Nineteenth Century.The darkest hour is when you can\u2019t find the matches.Suspended animation\u2014The girl in the

prevailed through the season.Cattle are perishing for want of food.Sister Eulalie, Superior of a Catholic academy at Newport, Ky., was burned to death on the morning of the 27th by accidentally

books and papers of the firm of J.C.Ayer & Co.now under seizure, has been before a judge and fully committed for trial.J.@.Ayer & Co.have a concern at St.Johns, where the Ayer preparations for the Canadian market are manufactared.A large quantity of their prepared medicines and material in various stages of manufac- tare were seized by government officials on the charge of undervaluation and smuggling.As the firm are contesting the case, which involves a large sum of money, the evidence relied upon by the government in the form of books and papers, remain in the hands of the Customs authorities.Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, who was recently spirited away, presumably by Russian agency, has turned up at the Austrian city of Lemberg, where be was the recipient of a very friendly demonstration.His anuounc- ed purpose to visit the Prussian city or Breslau does snot indicate his immediate return to Sofia, the Capital of Bulgaria, where his loyal people and troops are anxiously awaiting his return.Prince Alexander \u2018\u2018could a tale unfold,\u201d if he sees fit, but prudence may dictate reticence upon the subject.In the mean time the Russian authorities deny having had anything to do with his sudden disappearance and forced abdication.M.de Giers has issued a dispatch for the purpose of explaining the status between Russia and Bulgaria, which, however, is pronounced apocryphal.This dispatch represented Russia to have been ignorant of the conspiracy to depose Alexander, but claimed for her the credit of the demonstrations of loyalty to the Prince and of the overthrow of the first provisional government.Yet M.de Giers is represented as saying, \u201cI may cven entertain the hope that the Prince, whose high qualities we willingly acknowledge, who unhappily became the puppet of influences he was unable sufficiently to resist, will, from regard for the facts, and soberly judging the situation, renew of his own accord without pressure, the act of abdication forced from him under conditions which we were the first to regret and the only ones to reverse.\u201d This is a fine sample of the crookedness of Russian diplomacy and of sardonic humor.False Pretences.Atthe Lyndonville Temperance Mecet- ing held last week, something unpleasant occurred to some of the people concerned.It appears that Mr.St.John, of Kansas, who was one of the Presidential candidates who was uot elected in 1884, Mr.Finch, the chief of the order of Good Templars, and Mrs.J.Ellen Foster had been eugaged to speak at Lyndonville, and other places.The St.Johnsbury Republican tells how they came out, as follows :\u2014 The managers of the temperauce campmeeting association engaged Mis.Foster and Messrs.St.Jobn and Finch for three lectures, at Missis- quoi, Morrisville and Lyndonville.The St.Albans Messenger intimated that two of the speakers showed that the managers intended to turn the thing into a political campaign ; whereupon the managers\u2014all third-party men save one denied the charge, with a good deal of seeming indignation.Mrs.Foster had the same idea as the Messenger, but on arriving at Missis- quoi was told that such was not the case, and that the addresses would not deal with politics at all.After this she was not a little surprised when St.John, who was the first speaker, made a speech which was wholly devoted to politics.She made a speech in reply, and then Finch replied to her, treating her with what it is no misuse of language to call oul- rageous discourtesy.Of course Mrs.Foster resented such treatment; but the managers of the affair entreated her to refrain from speaking on politics, and she felt bound to comply with their request.At Morrisville St.John made another political speech and Mrs.Foster delivered her lecture on Law.At Lyndonville an arrangement was again made (as Mre.Foster understood it) that the speeches were to be on temperance solely ; and again St.John delivered a fiery political harangue.Again Mrs.Foster went to the committee, and again they begged of her to say nothing about politics; and so she spoke of the W.C.T.U.As an additional mark of discourtesy, no announcement was made of her address or the hour when she would speak, although the managers were repeatedly urged to make such annoucement.Mrs.Foster left Vermont on the day following, feel- ing\u2014and justly\u2014that she had been ill-used and insulted.Some Republicans of Lyndonville, we may add, immediately took measures to induce her to return thither and deliver an address in reply to St.John ; but it is doubtful if she will be able to accept the invitation.This is in brief the story, and we get it from an authoritative source.It would appear from this that the third-party managers of this camp- meeting temperance association engaged Mrs.Foster merely in order to make it appear to the outside public that their meetings were non-political ; that they permitted and encouraged St.John to make political speeches and would not allow Mrs.Foster to answers them; and that in short the whole thing is a political movement under the guise of temperance-a complete sham and fraud.If any one thinks that the cause of temperance or anything else can be advanced by such fraud and humbug, he is welcome to his opinion.For our own part, we think that this \u2018\u2018temperance\u201d camp- meeting association under its present management has come to the end of its usefulness, and we hope the true temperance people will no longer give it their counteance.\u2014 La Canadien gives expression to the general indignation among all right-thinking men at the conduct of Mr.Mercier, in first inviting the members of the Government to a discussion of the financial affaire of the province and then preventing those gentlemen, by means of an ili-behaved rabble, from laying their case before the .meeting.In his reply to Mr.Mercier\u2019s letter the Hon.Mr.Ross had promised that, if circumstances made it impossible for him to appear at Lanoraie himself, some of his colleagues would surely bc present, and had signified his entire readiness to discuss the Government policy, including the question of finance.As for the latter subject all that he desired was to place it in its true light, by showing by irrefutable figures that for the year ending June 30, 1885, there was à surplus of over 824,000 and not a deficit as Mr.Mercier pretended to believe.The Hon.Mr.Taillon went to Lanoraie, in accept~ ance of the invitation, and it was due to him, in all fairness and decency, jhat he should not be interrupred in refuting Mr.Mercier's wholly unjustifiable statements.But the Rouge leader had bethought him of other methods than those of honest argument and liberty of speech, about which he loves to prate, was denied to the Conservative leaders.It is by such outrages that Mr.Mercier hopes to triumph, but he is mistaken in thinking that public sentiment will approve or palliate such proceedings.ee 7 La Presse, in announcing what amounts to a discouutenance of its support of the Mercier faction, says :\u2014 \u2018The National Conservatives have not been accorded that confidence which they certainly deserved, in fact, thet fusion which should have been brought about did not take place.While the Liberals said with a loud voice that the party should be national they have arranged it so that they alone might profit by the common victory.\u201d It has taken La Presse a long time to discover what was patent from the first, that the outcry raised by the Liberals over the execution of Riel was the carrying out of a policy of self-aggrandizement, in the hoped for benefits of which their Conservative allies would have only what it could not be helped giving them.The \u201cConservative Nationalist\u201d candidates will only receive Liberal support where it is known to be hopeless for one of Mr.Mercier\u2019s party friends to present himself.Had this fact been recognized sooner by our contemporary sud by others like it, a good deal of mischief might have been averted.The loss of La Presse\u2019s active influence, though even at this late day, will be a serious blow to the Rouges.\u2014 Montreal Gu- zette.\u2014\u2014be.- Sir A.T.Galt has been appointed chairman of the commission recently named to

Lionized.Lembeno, Aug.27.\u2014Prince Alex- suder arrived here at 2 o'clock this afternoon.He was received at the mil- way depot by Court Marshal Riedesel and Court Chaplain Koch.The Prince, on appearing at the window of the railway carriage, was given an ovation by thousands of Germans and Poles, who raised enthusiastic cheers.waved handkerchiefs and hats and indulged in otler joy ul demonstrations.On alighting the prinée was presented with a boquet by a little girl.The Prince kissed the child amid enthusiastic cheering.The crowd escorted the Prince to a carriage when a journalist delivered a short address of welcome concluding with the words \u2018Perish the traitors.\u201d Then the people escorted him to his hotel.The town is brilliantly illuminated tonight Alexander will proceed to Breslau to-morrow.VIENNA, Aug.27.-The circular said to have been issued hy M.de Glers, and published this morning, is author- itively declared to be apocryphal.It is said to have emanated

received replies from the various Powers to \u201chis circular announcing Prince Ale- ander\u2019s deposition.With the exception of Italy the different Governments merely note the contents of the circular, reserving all ulterior communications.The reply of Italy in addition recognizes the \u2018Porte\u2019s right to protest against the illegality of Prince Alexander\u2019s deposition.Loypox, Aug.27.\u2014At a mass meeting held at Sliono, Roumelia, it was unanimously resolved to support Prince Alexander.Copies of the resolution were forwarded to the foreign Ministers at Bucharest.A meeting at Kazanlik, Roumelia, sent a telegram to the Czar begging him to continue to extend his favor to Bulgaria.The Czar in answering assured them of his good will toward the Bulgarians if they would maintain order, and in this task Russian agents would support them.Terrible Earthquake in Greece, ATHENS, Aug.2° .\u2014The area of the earth disturbances in Greece yesterday was phenomenally wide.At

especially in these days when fractions of a minute and even of a second are considered important.The clock seems to be an excellent one but very badly managed.The clock in the Methodist church is nearer right, but that, too, is a tew minutes fast.© Texeus.\u2014 \u2018Fhe Salvationists had a little trouble at Beebe Plain on Baturday evening.It appears that some of the citizens have long felt annoyed by the drumming in the streets every evening, aud have repzatedly warned the leader that there is danger of accidents by scaring skittish or young horses.On Saturday evening ove of the residents requested them to quit dinmming af least until his wife dnd children, who were out driving a spirited horse had returned, but was re: fused.Shortly afterward two of thyee parties took the drum and tambourine from them aud destroyed them, but offered no violence to the persons who were using them.It is said that the music fails to draw any addition to their meetings, pnd is therefore not necessary or useful.to \u2018 \u2014 At the meeting of the School Commissioners last week, the board, after much discusgjon, pdopted the rules of the Board of Education in the points heretofore not fully carried into effect, viz: (1) That none but authorized books will be allowed in the Schools.(2) The teachers will be hired for cight months and by written contract and be paid a larger salary than heretofore, paying their awn ogra.(3) A'stholar'tee\u2019 will be levied upon all children in the Municipality between the ages of seven and fourteen, according to the act, whether they attend school or not.The Commissioners, by complying with the rules adopted by thé Boaid of Education will be entitled to the Government al- lowpnce, and perhaps be able to collect the amount withheld by the Board for the lagt year and a half in consequence of their non-compliance with the rules above specified.\u2014\u2014 ee Muaie weakuesa and loss of power prompt- w cured.Hook, LO vents in stampe\u2014 orld'a Dispensary Medical Association, « 668 Main Street, Bufalo, Ÿ ¥ \u2018 ! or [ER à Lake Memphremagog.Au excursion party numbering between four and five hundred persons left this station on Thursday morniug for a trip on Lake Memphremagog.On arriving at Newport the \u2018Lady af the Lake\u201d was found in readiness for the party, amd wus soon steaming away.Small parties were lelt at the Mountain House and at Georgeville, but the majority of the company passed through the Lake to Magog, where an hour was given to those who desired to look over that flourishing village.The entire trip was made without accident or unpleasantness of any kind, Capt.Cleveland doing all in his power to make the trip pleasant.Those who have been familiar with the lake for thirty or forty years regret that one of its leading beauties is rapidly being destroyed.Those who remember their trips on the old \u201cMountain Maid\u201d will recollect that a large portion of its banks, especially on the Western shore, were lined with the primeval forest, with here and there a break, a green oasis in the forest.But the lumberman has largely spoiled the beauty of the scene by uncovering the ragged, rocky shore and neighboring hills.The lover of nature in its natural state regrets this desecration while the utilitarain counts the result in dollars to the hardy woodsmen who will soon rob it of all the available \u201clumber\u201d about its borders, not sparing even Owl's Head, Elephantis and other less noticeable peaks.The lake is a beautiful sheet of water, but saw mills and logs by the million detract much from its original charm.The people who took part in the excursion are much indebted to Mr.|- T.A.Chase, of the Stanstead and Derby Line station, for getting up the affair so cheaply and managing the transportation to and from the Lake with comfort to all concerned.We hope he will try it again some fine day in October, after Mr.J.Frost has assisted in coloring the leaves before their fall.Hatley.They have not yet found the Lody of Albert Kathan, who is supposed to have been drowned in Massawippi lake a fortnight ago.H.H.LeBaron has gone to Bolton: Springs to recuperate his health.Mr.Hilliard has put a new provender mill to running in his mill at Massawippi.\u2018 We have learned, with much regret, of the death of Mr.Win.J.Mears of North Hatley.He was for several years a member of the Municipal Council of Hatley; was highly respected, and his loss will be sensibly felt by his townsmen.The weather during the last ten days has been very warm, without rain, and farmers are mahing good progress in harvesting graip, which is # gooyl crap.Corn is now duing well, but potatoes are said to be rotting badly in sowe lands, while in others there seems to be but little damage done by rot.The tubers are generally ripe, and the tops dead.Would it not be best to dig them at once?Query\u2014From whence comes the smoke with which the air has been filled for two days past?East Hatley.A harvest festival will be held at the Methodist Church on Tuesday, September 7th.The entertainment in the forenoon is to be given by the children of the Sabbath school.That in the afternoon will consist of addresses by C.R.Flanders, B.A., of Coaticook, and other ministers from a distance.Dinner from 12 tolo- clock.A pleasant time \u2018je anticipated.Admission twenty-five cents.\u2014 Children half price, Hast Bolton.Haylng is done and ls above the average considerably.Grain of all kinds is very good.Potatoes are afflicted with rust, and are rotting in some places.Our August Quarterly Meeting was largely attended and was a very interesting occagjon.\u2019 Mrs.Cassius Witney, of Bolton Centre, complained of heing very tired Saturday evening and grew worse and in less than an hour was dead.She was buried in our cemetery Monday.She leaves quite a number of children to mourn her loss.She was a member of the Methodist churç : The ladies aid\u201d wid \u2018held at Mrs.Silas Johnson's, Wednesday afternoon and evening.There was a large attendance, and a very good time enjoyed.\u2018 \"Mig.Wm.Adama was with us ance mors.The friends and neighbors of Mr.and Mrs.H.O.Scott, gave thema surprise party ou the 9th ult., to celebrate their crystal wedding.The presents were numerous and useful, from a ten cel to giasg ware of \u2018ail kindy \u201cgid dais ie Nad some nice singing by Mrs, W.8.Foss, of Lowell, Mass., added much to the pleasure of the occasion, also singing and music by others and speeches by the Rev.Wm.Smith, Aylmer Place, Dr.Foss, J.W.Channell and others.Mr.and Mrs.Seoti duly returned thelr thanks\u2019 Yor thelr wany gifts and ail went home well pleased with their visit, pp» A horse attached to an express wagon in which were oleven men yesterday, in West Roxbury, tipped them «ll out, killed Edward Redding- ton and scriousl wounded anothey of the party, - nt vounded anotey of Toa S VU 23454\" 18 strong and duravie, sud fully warrsoted ull, cyleader fur thresiteg gra, &c.bor tull particulars address, HEAD OFFICE, The Stanstead and GEV.POMRUY, IEAD OFFICK Frelighsburgs F Carpe C.F.CUPP, Secretary.she ubuve cut represents my celebrawed SAWING MUACELLIN av, which witout exception is te must perfect machine of ite kind in the market, wade of the bent muterial, steel shafts, babiveted boxes, with wll the modery unprovewents.woud per day.Also bY use uf 8 belly suy machine woich can be handled with two hurse puwer, cau Le ruu, such as circular saw, bay cutter, churu, farmer's grinding Tue price being su low, they are within the rench uf uearly wll taraers, wi without suy question a profitable machine.are giving cutive saistactive, sud weeling wily ready sale wherever introduced.Gr, A.Le BARON.Beckett's Block, FIRE INLURANCE Co\u2019y.BeTABLISEFERID XIV - - BOAKD OF DIRECTORS;
