New, if it were made possible te go a step be yond this, and be enabled net only te held our balloon indefinitely at a selected altitude, hut te de this without sacrificing either gas or ballast, except in emergen cies, it would seem that we had taken a lengfstride toward the successful develop ment of "a dirigible balloon." Snch a device could net only be placed in a proper air current at will, but in the event of sudden change in direction of such current, it might be immediately shlf ted above or below it, and in case another convenient current could net at ouce be found, the balloon might be held station ary in still air until a deslrable change 'ahenld occur. A conveyance of this char acter would immediately be of ecrvice for purposes of war and systematic Investi gation of aerial phenomena; as a sort of pathfinder for the future "Greyhound" of .he heavens, it would be simply invalu able. We must all creep before we walk, and if we ever hope te travel through the air in a practical .,S ccssful plan can be cvolved only by patiently and systematically building upon what we already possess of suc cess. Te this end the following plan for a dirigible balloon which is, in fact, llttle mero than an adaptation and -combination of de- e "Vices that have separately been of service in the past, is submitted for the considera tion of theso who are working in thisCe'd. The accompanying tikctcli will help te explain this plan, wmen is based upon a modification of the old tune drag rene. The plant con cen eists of ilve parts, A, B. O, U, E. A, main bal. loon, manned by an operating force only (probably eneman)aud car rying sufficient ballast te held the entire plant at a selected altl- E x nnneiBLE balloon, tmie. 0, observer's balloon. Te glve unob structed view overhead, this portion con- alsts of three or mero email balloons at tached te a light strong framework, from which Is suspended the car that carries the party of observation, the operator, ballast, Instruments, etc This car also carries, celled upon a proper reel, a drag rope E, which is long enough te reach the earth when 0 is at , its lowest attitude. A and 0 are connected by a light strong cord D, probably two miles long, and strong enough te held the entire plant captive when 0 is anchored te the earth. Telephonic communication is had be tween the different portions of the plant through a properly insulated wlre placed in the core of D. The ends of cord D j terminate at A and O respectively, being 3 wound upon quick working reels. , B la constructed similarly te C, and it hi se arranged as te slide freely, upward and downward, throughout the length of '1 , the cord D, and prevision is made for ; ' holding it firmly at any desired point en ' the cord; B carries no ballast, and but one mux te operate it. ,, The combined buoyancy of A. B, 0 ' is such as te sustain the entire plant at I any determined altitude, for the pur- pese of this explanation, say three miles; but the buoyancy of B and 0 respectively ,(, should he a tnfle short of sustaining f1 their leads, se that, say a normal alti tude Is reached by A, nnd the cord D Is E entirely unwound from the reels in A and r t 0, B being stepped te the cord close ' above 0; then the parts B and O would hang suspended from A at the oxtrcme end of the cord which would be extended , downward its ontire length. !' " These conditions being established, ,: suppose an ascension from a military i' camp for the purpose of observing the movements of the enemy. The cord is jj5 wound en the roils equal portions en gfc. each-nd the plant ascends with the f,"1 three balloons clese together. At an r- altitude of two miles a desirable current & W " la reached, and if the normal buoy buey r&J "Pr equaled the altitude of two miles -Ti bit, the entire plant would simply sail I'JtJt, ' J e the desired direction; but the v tfi T27 ?c' ht bBea ngcd te attain an "V ' r'T ?.f tbrtt8 nlJea. consequently A ' 4" WUrlAdt the cord irmn .har nuj " -"-- etVWt!"tet'6! he7 'portion eTthe cord one Bile and attains the lUalt of buoyancy three miles leaving B and C traveling along with the current. Presently it is discovered that, in spite of the removal of A from the action of the current, the plant is traveling tee fast for purposes of careful observation. Te correct tlds, 11 is moved upward in the direction of A until she is beyond the influence of the current, and new Irath A nnd B act as a drag, whlle 0 is left te the full influence of the current. Should it be found necessary te ap proach mere closely towards the earth, O unwinds the cenl from her reel and drops te the desired point, whlle Ii also drops and lakes the place of O in the air current. ..... Should It be necessary te halt for ape ape rteA ever a certain spot, B la either raised nhove or dropped below the current. Should the cnemy become troublesome, and the observers be In danger from shot or shell, both B and 0 can, if necessary, pull themselves upward toward A until a point of safety is reached. Should a desired air current be at n greater attitude than two miles, but within the limit of the thrce miles ar ranged for, A acts as the tug. Should such current be beyond the three mll6 limit, ballast Is discharged until A reaches it, whlle, should It Iks reached at nn al titude of less than n mile, sufficient gas Is released from A te allow B and 0 te drop into it. When it li desired te return, a conven ient current must be sought for in the same way, and in any event, if no desira ble current be found within an altltude of flve miles, the plant is located in still air, and waits until the proper current makes its appearance, or, by means of the drag rope K, ancherage may be taken and the entire arrangement hauled te earth. It will be observed that whlle this do de vice comprehends all the capabilities of the ordinary balloon, its special features enable it First Te be placed, as a whole, in a convenient air current. Second Te be placed be that ene por tion shall be In a convenient nlr current, y, hlle another portion is in still air, acting as a drag. Tiitra te ue placed, as a wneie, in sun air. Fourth Te be placed with the upiwr and lower portions In still air, two miles or be apart, whlle the central portion may be moved upward or downward, en the cord, in search of a convenient current; and Fifth Te reach an extreme altitude, travel in desired directions, approach the earth for purposes of observation, and, finally, te ue hauled down te earth all with a minimum less of gas or ballast.

' COWING CELEDRATION OFAN IM POHTANT LITERARY ANNIVERSARY. new the reet IJrrd ami Who ITU Con Cen Con UmperarlM Wrre Twickenham, Made Paninu hy the Fact That fie Lived There SemcHiing- About Urjilcn. The lllerary world Is asked by n Lon Len Lon eon club te celebrate the bl-ccnicnnlal of Alexander Pepe "the crooked little man" who made Hemer familiar te millions of English readers, anil set the fashion In verse for n century and a half. It is tee late te eclobrale the 200th anniversary of his birth, which occurred in Londen en the 22d of May, 1088, but it is suggested that the year may be commemorated by a general ouscrvance late in the season, as our school clilldrcn new obscrve a "Long fellow's day," a "Whlttier'a day," etc. After all, the particular day Is net of se much censequence as a study of the man and the lasting effect he produced en English literature. Pepe rese Inte promlncnce as Dryden declined, and lu turn yielded te the pre dominance of that strange "Bohemian" school of which Dr. Samuel Jehnsen and Oliver Goldsmith are the best known ex ponents. Pepe professed In the beginning te nave learned his poetry from Dryden, and John John Jehn eon confesses that he trembled with delight and shed the tears of ex- ccsslve sensibility j when he heard his early efforts prals by Pepe; yet the fome of Pepe rese much higher than that of his pro fessed teach or, Drvden, and was ALi:xANDi:n ren- net obscured by that of his Immedlate suc cessors, Jehnsen, Goldsmith, Addison, Swift and the wits of Queen Anno'srelgn. Coming betwrcu the brilliant but gen erally immoral dramatists of the restora tion era and the nge of Jehnsen, Pope's fitme has net been dimmed by the luster of cither. The reason generally assigned Is that Pope took time te polish and I in pre ve Ida verse, wnue uryuen wroie te aatisiy im mediate necessities and was thoreforo com pelled te wrlte whatever the popular taste at the tlme called for. Drtden was net n dramatist, yet the age of Charles II de manded dramas, and he had te subordin ate his natural tendencies te thatdemand; the result was a number of hybrid pieces In which oxqulslte bits of poetry appear here and there In elaborate dramas, the general plan of which Is ncircely nbove the ridiculous. What could be mere nh html, for instance, than the general plan of "The Hind and the Panther?" A milk whlte hind and a foreolous panther, typi fying two great religious bodies, meet apart from tlie herd and discuss the rral presence in the eucharlst, the British ref ormation, the right of private judgment and apostelical auccessleul Anether contrast between the two is still mero striking. Dryden, born and I fa red a Fuiltau, becamea Catholic and employed his talents In favor of Charles II and James II; Pope, born and reared a Catholic, resolutely rufused te change his religion when It would have been vastly te his advantage te de te. Tlie life anil writings of both show tee plainly that their icllgleu had llttle Influence upon tliclr "dally walk aud conversation;" yet It is easier te believe that Pene had a deep and nbldlng prlnclple which Dryden lacked, and that the favor of the court merely changed the latter from a peer Protestant Inte a worse Catholic. It is ulfee te be noted that Pope revised all of his productions and rewrete bome of them many times, striking out as the expcrlonce of popular criticism for years Huggosted, and jet his was net along life, for he was horn in 1GS8, and died at Twickenham, Middlesex, May 30, 1711. Ilia father, uu urdent llpuuiu Catholic, had acquired a moderate fertune as a linen merchaut befere the evil days came for Catholics after the exposure of se called "plots," and the villainies nnd per lurics of Daugerfleld and Titus Oates. With his fertune In cash the father re tired te a secluded hamlet lu Windser forest. The boy was sickly and deformed, and was at first theufdit tee delicate fer frhcel. He taught himself te write by copying letters out of books prluted In the old script, aud ncaulred seme Latin and Greek In a haphazard way from rOI-K'8 VILLA, TWICKENHAM. Catholic priests, after which he was sent te school, only te be Hogged and expelled Boen alter for writing a lampoon en the teacher, . He went te school next In I-onden, read all the British peets with delight, and was fe charmed with Dryden that he took him for a model and records as a great event lu his life that at the nge of 19 he haw the elder poet, At the same age he wrote the "Ode en Solitude." At 14 he wrete "Alcander," an epic, and burned it. At the age of 21 his productions began te appear in print. In the nctt ten years nearly all his poetical works were pro duced; his subsequent work consisted chiefly of revising nud correcting. Yet his later works show riper thought nud rather mero culture than his earlier. Jehn Dryden died In 1700, seen nfter Pope saw him, and In the reaction follow ing the 1 evolution of 1088 iujustlce was done him; yet Pope never ceased te ac knowledge his indebtedness. Dryden wrete twenty-seven plays, vet only two of them are new mentioned; but every thing of Pope's, revised by himself, Is ns popular as it w as n rcnturv age. In Eng land Drydeu'a ".Eneld" is still highly praised and extensively read; lu the United States It Is hcarccly an exaggera tion te say that It is known only te the curious, whlle Pope's "Hemer" Is familiar te millions. Indeed, any attcntlve reader of fugitive poetry must see that many young American writers have uncon sciously imitated that epic. What Ameri can of average intelligence cannot readily quote some passage from Pepe's "Essay en Man?" Is there ene in n hundred who can give, en call, any passage from Dry den? As tlie popular taste has grown mero nnd mero choMe and feovere for five generations, se ihe works of Dryden have r-lewly receded te second and third place, nnd still farther down the list, whlle these of Pope are quite as familiar In geed families as they were w'hen Jehnsen ttoed behind a screen In a nebleman's hall (his dress being tee ragged for him te face Pepe) nnd listened with delight te the elder poet's talk. Pope was ten years dj Ing, blewly sink ing, yet maintaining a cheerful activity. When se feehle that he could net stand erect without the aid of corsets, or un dress without assistance, he braced against disease sufficiently te go into teclcty and charm all hearers by his con versation. He was buried In Twickenham parish churchyard, whero, Eoventcen years afterwards, Warburton reared n handsome monument te his memory. J. II.

Herace Greeley In California. Greeley was a rovclatlen te California. I was In Sacramento when the great edl edl 'ter appeared en the scene from the over land trip In the early fall I think it was in 1800.

Without removing his hat, which )crcbcd as usual en the back of his head, dr. Greeley, in his long whlte overcoat, strode down the aisle amid thunders of applause. Still keeping his hat upon his head, he was Introduced te the chairman 'of the mcetlng, nnd turned te -speak. As he did se he took off his hat, but began talking as he did be, and net knowing ex actly where te place it, put it en the desk bflfcre him. Tne Eight of this uncouth, odd, earnest man, quecrly garbed, with odd gestures, instructing and entertain ing a large mass of his fellow men for anr hour nnd a half, was most suggestive. As he proceeded, warming with nls sub-, jeet, continuing his talk, he took off his overcoat, and tossed it ou atlmlrlnthe rear. 1 Homadea great hit, with the old timers, especially, and during his brief stay was lionized te his hearrs content. I say te Ids heart's content because there was n1 great deal of human nature in Greeley. He was much mero partial te praise, and much mero easily affected by It than many peeple imagine. Joe Heward In Once a' Week. i Weman's Tllglit In Trance. Some millions of Frenchmen have ro re ceived a shock; net an electric ncr an carthquake ene. It belongs te the moral order of phenomena, but it has nene the less spread consternation. The highest court In France the Cour de Cassation whose fu-'tienis te decide knotty ques tions of law by a direct appeal te the moral principles from which all laws are in theory derived, has declared that a man, having premised marriage te a woman, Incurs the liability te pay her a pecuniary indemnity in tne event 01 1113 refusing te keep his premise The shock is contained in this decision, for which the public mind was qulte unprepared. A breach has been made In a fortress that was held ie be impregnable and everlasting, and through this breach It Is feared the whele army of Frenchwomen will march, feathers nnd ribbons flying, and that they will re f ttse te lay down their arms there are no longer di'staffa until a new revolution has been proclaimed In favor of their sex. ( Breach of promtse cases in ether coun tries, espcclally in England, have hitherto proved an Inoxhnustlble mlnoef humor te the French journalists. They have told us again and again that the principle of assessing n pecuniary Indemnity for sen timental damage may seem natural enough te Jehn Bull, te whom time Is always money, including the tlme spent In unsuccessful love making, but that it is much toeiovolting te the instinct of Frenchmen for it ever te be ndmitted in judicial practice here. Ilevelting te Frcnchmeu the principle undoubtedly is, but net be te Frenchwomen. They held that all weapons that can be used against, the male who profits In many ways by the unfair division of power between the bexes are geed te keep in reserve. Paris Cor. Bosten Transcript. The Secrets of Success. Without doubt, the secrets epen te all In buslness, if well followed, are most sure te lead te sufficiency, which is suc cess enough. These are: Tenacity of pur pose, ceurage of convictions, btrict at tention te your own business and letting that of ethers nlone; knowing when te say no and meaning It when said; allow ing thought te precode words and action; placing a high value en truth; rating the icspect of mankind higher than wealth; living within your means, wearing an old coat until veu can pay for a new ene; hav ing a firm belief that thU life is net all there is te work for. There are ether "secrets" which seem te lead te success, and ene called "booming," but it is doubt ful if they should be encouraged or re commended te the rising generation, as they are based en deception, supported by falsehood, nnd lead te but a glitter of success, likely te tarnish. J. II. Mc Vleker iu Chicago Journal. A Natural Seap Well. A natural 60ap well has been discov ered blxty-rlght miles 'west of Buffalo Gap, I). 1' Tlie he.ip Is tikiinmcd from a Iwiiing spring and hardens by exposure te the nlr. It is llke soft clay, and can be gathered with n shovel, and is supposed te be a mixture of alkali, borax nnd the lubricating oil found In mauy parts of Wyoming. A sample has been ved by n prominent Chicago soap manufacturer, and he reported tlie discovery worth the full weight of the manufactured article. Parties surrounding the springs have used the natural urticle as axle grcase by adding a llttle of the oil discovered, there, and it is pronounced the finest ma terial ever used for that purpose. Tlie soap will wash in tlie hardest of water nnd leave the hands much softer than the en 'nary article. The supply is sup-, nosed te 'be lnoxhaustlble. -Brooklyn Tlie Dentist's Generosity.
