A Good Puzzle.
Those who arc curious as to magic
uarcs will find something to interest them
: Pirton's "Life of Benjamin .Franklin."
This great philosopher was very fond of
inventions ot this son. iicre is me cor
rect answer to the puzzle : "In what man

Jn.'lusivc, be arranged so that the sum of
each row of five figures shall be 125?"

To Pensioners.
The couutry is now being flooded with
circulars of claim agents, addressed to
pensioners, suggesting to all of them that
by applying to such agents they may obtain
an increase of pension. The fact is that
Congress did not, at its last session, give
any "increase to any class of pensioners.
Invalid pensioners, viz., men who are now
pensioned for wounds and disabilities, can
as thev always could, eet an increase if
their disabilities have increased. The pro
cess to obtain such increase is very simple,
and any pensioner may adopt it without
any expense. Let him write to the Com
missioner of Pensions and ask him to be fur
nished with "blank application for increase
.f an invalid pension." Upon its receipt
he will execute it according to its form aud
directions and then return it to the Com
missioner. The officer will direct him to
be examined by a surgeon, and that will
end his labor in the matter. The employ
ment of a person to aid him will not only
be wholly uselcs but will subject him to
the payment of a fee from which ho will
derive no benefit.
Bird Charity.
Wc have read a good deal about the
characteristic instincts of birds, but the fol
lowing actual account of a circumstance
which happened this summer in West Pitts
ton, goes far towards establishing the be
lief that there is a lanjruaire anions the
music inhabitants of the air which is under
stood by them in common. A lady noticed
a small chipping bird flying about for sev
eral days in front of her premises, appcar
mtly very busy in constructing its nest.
She also observed that its attention was
divided between two trees, to each of which
the little bird paid mutual attention. A
closer watch revealed the fact that to one
tree the bird conveyed sticks, straws and
other things used in nest-building, while to
the other it carried food in the shape of
worms, crumbs, &c. These operations were
daily observed until the lady's curiosity
became greatly excited and she determined
upon an investigation. "With the assist
ance of a friend this was made, when it was
discovered that chippy was playing the
Kood angel to an unfortune blackbird which
has a nest in on one of the tress, but whose
Igs, upon examination, were found to be
almost cut off by a piece of fine wire which
in some mysterious way had become en
tangled around the slender bones. The
bond was so strong as to forbid the use of
either wings or limbs, and the poor bird
in some way had managed to tell its sorrow
to little chippy, who it was discovered had
been feeding it daily while building its own
neat in an adjoining tree. "When the black
birds thongs were removed, its friend
never visited the tree again.
LOST IN A BALLOON.
prof. Donaldson's fate an ascen
sion MADE ON TIICRSDAY, AND THE
AERONAUTS NOT YET HEARD FROM
A ROTTEN BALLOON IN A HURRICANE.
There is every reason to suppose that
Prof. Washington Donaldson, whose name
was prominent in connection with the
Graphic transatlantic balloon voyage last
summer, with a Mr. Greenwood, a reporter
of the Chicago Journal, perished in Lake
Michigan on Thursday night. Donaldson
has been connected with Barnum's Hippo
drome the present season, making ascen
sions each afternoon. The last ascension
was made at Chicago on Thursday after
noon last, since which time neither balloon
nor its occupants have been heard from.
JV hen the balloon left the circus ground at
o 0 clock, it rose at an altitude of 5.000
icet into the current of a wind blowing
M-eaany to the northeast directly toward
tC Michliran. Tt, W:m cmno- ut. ? riirn nf
1? miles hour. There were about
1L0 miles of water to traverse before a
landing could be made, which would re
quire about eight hours. When about in
Jhe midst of the lake it is supposed that a
hurricane, which had been gathering on
the banks for some time, struck the bal
loon, dertroying it at once, leaving its un
fortunate occupants at the mcrey of the
waves.
How the two men met their fite we shall
probably never know. A tragic chorus
ng their requiem in the roar of the thun
der and the wail of the wind. Had there
been a fitting inspiration of such an end-
-, ineir death would have been heroic
ut w. a as their enterprise was, nobody
;7. , nk without a thrill of the two souls
wcii passed away amid the crash and the
01 mat tempestuous midnight.
THE WHEAT CROP.
Reports to the Department of Agricul
ture. Washington, July 23. The returns
of the Department of Agriculture for July
show the condition of spring and winter
wheat at about 82 per cent, of an average.
Winter wheat, including California, aver
ages 74, and spring wheat 9G. The spring
wheat States iu the Northeast and North
west arc generally iu high condition. Of
the winter wheat area the South Atlantic
and Gulf States are generally above average,
but in the Middle States the conditiou is
very low, New York rangiug down to 45.
West of the Alleghanies the prospect is
better, the State averages being between
71 in Ohio and 95 in Iowa. California re
ports winter wheat at 70 and spring wheat
at 55 !
SUMMARY VENGEANCE.
A Band of Robbers and Murderers.
Memphis, July 25. Last Tuesday
Frank Williams, engaged on Hancock's
plantation, on Frenchmen's Bayou, forty
miles above here on the Arknnsas side,
disappeared, he having drawn ten dollars
from his employer the evening before, and
was last seen in company with John
Randolph and John Phillips, colored.
Search was made for them and it was
found they left. Pursuit was made, aud
they were overtaken and carried back to
Shawnee village yesterday.
On their arrival they confessed to having
murdered Williams. The murderers were
then carried to Crowcll Landing, on their
way to Osceola, the county town, and reach
ing the landing, they informed their captors
that they belonged to a band of which Rob
ert Burton, a white man, also employed on
Hancock's plantation, was the leader, and
one Jesse Carter (colored) was also a mem
ber ; that they were organized for robbery,
and had murdered several persons.
Quite a crowd had collected by this time.
The indignation of the citzens was intense,
finally culminating in a mob taking the
prisoners out and shooting Randolph, killing
him instantly. Phillips broke from his
keepers and escaped. Yesterday the whole
neighborhood was in search of him. Ran
dolph's body was thrown into the river.
Warrants were sworn out for Burton aud
Carter. They were arrested and taken to
the Osceola jail. y
BANK ROBBERY.
Safes Blown Up With Nitro-Glycerine
Arrests Made on Suspicion.
Lewiston, Me., July 23. The Na
tional Bank of Winthrop was entered by
burglars this morning, and the bank vaults
and safe of the Savings Bank were opened.
The loss is not yet ascertained.
WiNTiiour, Me., July 23. The rob
bery was a bold operation. The safes were
blown open by nitro-glycerine, as is sup
posed, there being no indication of powder.
There were three distinct explosions, all of
which were heard by several persons.
The robbers left within ten minutes of
the last explosion, which was so severe as
to blow out all the windows in the front
part of the bank and cause a general smash
up inside. The contents of the main safe
were so badly mutilated and so many frag
ments were left behind that it is thought
the amount realized by the robbers could
not have been large. The capital stock of
the bank is S10o,(j00, and the amount of
the deposits in the savings bank was about
$100,000. The safes of both institutions
were rifled of their entire contents. The
standiug of the bank, the directors say, will
not be impaired. A despatch says four
men have been arrested on suspicion near
Bethel. As the distance from here is about
forty miles, it is doubtful if they could
have got so far in the time they have had.
Portland, Me., July 25. Yesterday
the three men calling themselves Lewis.
Clark and Levi, who were arrested at
Bethel on Friday, on suspicion of having
been connected with the robbery of the
National Bank of Winthrop, were taken on
the first train to Winthrop in charge of the
deputy sheriff, Mr. Woodward of Winthrop,
who accompanied Sheriff Carr to Bethel,
has identified the men as the three whom
he saw in the streets of Winthrop the after
noon before the burglary. After their
arrest they were searched, and about 50
were found. The man calline himself
Lewis is the largest of the party, and is
evidently the leader, as he does most of the
talking. The authorities arc confident they
have the right men.
It is thought the loss to the bank will
not exceed 850,000, two-thirds of which is
in bonds. The heaviest loss falls on the
savings department. The standing of the
bank will not be impaired.
Only Decoys.
Winthrop, Me., July 25. It is now
thought here that the three men arrested
are not the real burglars, but decoys to
engage the attention of the authorities while
their confederates make good their escape
They are undoubtedly connected with the
affair, however. The bank has offered a
reward of 10,000 for the apprehension of
the burglars.
