It wax a jrala day iu a small town ujHiii tho United Stab's border near tlie Mfxi-an frontier. There had lieeu the usual amount of horse radn and betting, and the greatest attraction was not reached until nearly night A huge liallon, gay in the national colors, trained at the ropes hieh held it as it nwayed in the rising wind. Small, the aeronaut, was talking with a group of young men, each one eager to risk his life for the sake of leaving terra flnua for a short time. "I'd like to please you all, I would 'xu my honor ; hut it is imosilile to take more than three. Harding, you are noted for your steady nerves. Young, yoa will U second. And, Jolton, you may meet with an ad venture which will throw all previous ones in the shade. What do you say?'' "That we will gladly make the trip with you," answered Harding, as spokesman for the three. As soon as they took their seat in the car, the last rope M as cut, and the great liuloon like a huge carrier dove, shot straight up for a few hundred feet, wavered, swung motionless for an instant, then crossed the Mexican line and sailed slowly away over that my sterious land. "It isn't going to Ik? a clear night ofter all. A moonlight Italloou ride is weird and grand, but we shall have it dark, I fear," said Small pointing to a cloud Itank near the horizen. "I hie you have a teh-scope," cried Jioltou, eargcrly. Small placed a magnificent field glass in his hand, saying ; "Now you can see your rill of Mexico. If I am not mistaken we shall cross it ollijuely and strike the western coast if we can land there. If not, we may take a hath in the hroad Pacific. But we'll not lrrow trouble, for there is no certainty of either. The wind is liable to sudden changes in this climate, and may send us Intck into the United Slates in less than three hours. "I hojie not not until we meet with the adventure which you promised me, answered Iiolton, who was busily scan ning the changing landscape beneath them. "How the water shiues ! I be lieve our earth is a star to other planets or a moon. Who knows? See the peo ple run to cover like frightened jwrtrid- ges? I supNse they never saw a bal loon liefore." "They'll g-t used to them," said Harding. "Wlun-vcr lives a hundred years from now will think no more to traveling in air ships than we do of going on the ears." "IK you lelievethat?" asked Young. 'I do, and I think that the North Pole problem w ill be solved in that very way." "I care more just now alxnit discover ing the hidden Aztec city folks are talking aliout," mused Iiolton. "Why shouldn't we? We have passed by the settlements, am! now see how fast we are Hearing that range of mountains. I shall watch for it." The others laughed, bat K.-Uon watched mountain and valley as the night shadows fell. liefore dark the lower hills were pas sed, and tier on tier the magnificent mountain region of Mexico spread out liefore them. The min was somewhat oltscured, but they could determine that they were iassing over lofty mountains, deep ravines and dense, shadowy for- ts. It seemed as if the night would never ixl. and Iiolton had his glass in hand at the first steeak of day. Presently he uttered a cry of in credulous surprise. "Take the glass, some of you and look ! Tell me if I am growing crazy. Tlierc ! just beyond that tall dome-like, rocky mountain. What do you see?"' "I should call it a city, with walls of burnished silver !"' ejaculated Hard ing. "White stone, no doubt, Imt the genuine hidden city !'' cried Small excitedly. "IJut precious little good it'll do us," groaned Young. "We'll not lie in this vicinity hug at the rate we're going.' "I don't know alwHit that," answered Small, with a critical glance at the sky. "I V you see that black cloud? I thought we shouldn't t-scaj a storm. IK you feel these puffs of hot air ? Sure sign of a coming temjiest Ifcm't you see that the wind has nearly ceased ? When it blows again it will come with a tor nado and carry us Iwck faster than we care to go, jHThaps." "Yes, it has ftoied and we arc directly over the city !" cried Iiolton, a moment later. "See the people run ning like frightened sheep. Can't you lower us, Small ? "You remember the ancient Aztec Iielief in superstition. They will surely tike us for gods of air. Ix-t's make them a call." Sm-11 silently pulled the cord, and the Imlloon descended slowly and majestically. "Hold!" breathed Young. "We have haptencd along on one of their sacrificial days. I can see the temple plainly the horrible altar the dia Ulical priests yes, and the victim ! See, it is a maiden as white as we are ! 1 Iere, tike the glass and see for your selves. Ixxik at that old villian, his knife in his hand ! See the bound mai den, and the iieople kneeling to our airshia. Hoys, the Aztecs believed in killing a lieautifal maiden as a sacrifice every year, until Quetzal should come from the clouds to claim her as his bride, then the custom was to he all ished ; but he never come. Small, can you drop this !alloon, and hold it long enough for Harding to take the girl away? He is the U-st looking one among us, and really there will be no resistance." "I'll try it," responded the aeronaut firmly, with a look at the coming tent jiest Slowly the Iwlloon settled, swaying iu the slight ltreexe, until the car toudi d the earth, amid the prostrate forms of the sujierstitous natives. "No time to spare. Lively now, Harding !" shouted Small, looping the rope around one of the temple pillars, j "O'jefcud ! Quetzal ! iiiiirimin-l th jicople, still kneeling, as Harding strode to the sacrificial altar. He rapidly freed the captive, and led lier to the car. S:u ll loosisd the ropj, while Young and Iiolton tossed out bags of Itallast eufilcient to make up for the extra wt-bjht of th3 girl, and the Imljoon arose quickly, amid the entreat h. p?oplo to atay. "I hit that murdering old prieat a whack that he'll remeiiil-er when I sent the ballast out," muttered Young. "Hit him with another bag; there the temitest is coming, ami we must go aUtve the clouds, r we are lost!" shouted Small. The wind increased, the air grew dark and misty, and soon the hidden city was indeed hidden from them by tiie dense, black stonnclouds U-low them. The upper current of air, although not a gale, was sutliciently strong to carry them fast. "Hut we're not going toward home?" questioned Iiolton. "Bless your stars that you are safe anywhere," nodded Harding. The clouds j,wept by, but the myster ious city was no longer in sight. "Those folks will lie more suier stious than ever because we vanished with the ttmiest," laughed Young. "But what shall we do with our prize now we have got her? that's the question," asked Harding, "You ought to have asked that lie fore you took her from her people," said Bolton, gravely. "If you can leave me near Fort Nelson" began the girl, laughing at their astonishment. "What ! are you not an Aztec ?" cried Young. "No. My father is an officer at the fort. While enjoying -a ride on my pony last week, I ventured too far away, was captured by a Iwnd of the Aztecs, and but for you should have met a horrible death. I can never thank you." "Dtiu't try," advised Young. "I as sure you it was a pleasure to us." "And you are not at home yet," ad ded Small, significantly. -.The wind contiuued toV.ow fitfully, sometimes from one direction, some times from another, but always keep ing the balloon above the uninhabited coun'ry. Darkness came, and toward morning the moon shone out in tropical lieauty, giving a weird, ghastly effect to earth and sky. Before sunrise the wind increased and set iu steadily toward the land of stars and strips. "There goes the List bag of ballast, and stiil we are descending," said Young. "But we are out of the woods, or over them, for I see houses in the distance." "The old lady knows a thing or two," answered Small, brushing the silken cushion of the car. "She won't carry us safely so far anil wreck us at last."' He was a true prophet, for the bal loon deoended until the car touched the ground, not far from a farm house. "How far to Fort Nelson?" "Bout ten mile," returned the farmer, whose whole family ran out to see what monster had dropped from the clouds. Horses were soon hired, and Hard ing set out to escort the maiden thither. It is needless to tell the rejoicing when they arrived at the fort "Which of you married the young lady?" I asked of Harding, when he told me the story live years after. "Hum ! Well, none of us. She mit tened us all for a bit of a corporal that's sear't of his own shadow when he hears a gun fired." "But what of that hidden city?" I lersisted. "I dont know a thing more about it. I cxp-jct it is there yet," was the care less reply. Utilizing: Old Shoes. Kniai Shoo and lxiit'mT Fuels. A new use has been found, it is said for old boots and shoes. This is how they are treated in the process of eon version into a novel kind of house ear'ieL The shoes are thrown promiscuously into an immense tank, into which steam and dissolving compounds are run, thereby causinsr the old shoes to take a thick liquid form. Certain proportions of tallow, lxrax and glue are then introduced, and the pulp run into moulds. The moulds are shajK-d after the plan of a regular sand mould, and may have the form of fl twers, figiiresorg.-omeiri cul design. The pulp is run into these moulds and the figure hardens in the coiu air. i nesL casts are arranged in the prop.-r figure or design, when cementing process begins. 1 ne cement is a e nip mud made from leather u and giiie, and it is run between the figures. Tiie figures soften a little with the compound, and the who!.; hardens together. In the ca-tmg of each figure a dif ferent color.il pulp is used red pulp for r.st-s, white pulp for while flowers, green for leaves and so on. Thus elaborate designs iu. ly b carried ojt Then comr-s the pressing by the use of rollers, and imihinr with varnish. The result is a iiiolo.kiug 11 1 r covering, the e.ist of which is less tha n straw matting, and Ies than oilcloth in fact, an cc no;u;.;i! st;id durable carpeting. Couldn't Forgive Bad Sing-inj.

What public man ever accom plished as much as tliat? AVic York Jourtuxl. Eloquent Ignorance. Hcputy United States Marshal I J old man arrested Cornelius Miller last night at his home, near Adrian, Bates county, Mo. Miller is charged with using a jwstage stamp after it had lieeu canceled. He was arraigned In-fore Commissioner Peahdy this morning, and on the advice of Ist Office In ejievtnr Hill and Assistant United States Diltriet Attorney Draffen was held for trial at the April term of the Federal Court. He was released on his own recognizance. Miller is the queerest character that has yet fallen into the hands of the government officials who work for fees. He was brought into the Commission er's oflice this morning covered with mud from his bocts to his fur cap. He is a typical "wayliack" and lives on a little piece of ground down in Bates county. "You are charged with having used a canceled stamp, Miller," said Com missioner Peabody. "What plea do you enter?" "I'm 57 years old, gentlemen, an' a little bit deef," answered the hardened criminal, for such lie is declared to lie by Inspector Hill, "an' youse mast speak out right peart if youse want me to ketch what youse say." "You are charged with mailing this letter, knowing that the stamp on it had lecn used before. What have you to say?" "Well, I don't know whether I mailed the letter or no, as my sight's weak. I've sjient most of my 57 years on the plains amongst the Kind, an' more er less of hit's got inter 'em. I kain't read a w ink, no how, an' I kain't write neither, but I git Missus Wicks to do my writin' fur me. Mis sus Wicks lives alongside cr me an' she mouglit cr wrote the letter." The Commissioner asked him again if he wanted to enter any plea, and the old man scratched his head awhile and replied; "I grub for a livin', neighbors, an' I ain't much up on law, but if youso mean tcr ask me did I know that stamp were not gK.l I wan tcr tell yo' I didn't N-. I didn't have no con science ability of hit a bein' bad," and he shook his head slowly and looked at the faces around hint. "I never done no wrong, neighbors, an' I didn't mean tcr cheat the guv 'ineiit out er no two cents. I'm 57 years old, an' grub fur my livin' and fur the livin' of my wife and babies." The Pist Office Inspector Ikcd ncrs the table at the Deputy Marshal, and the Deputy Marshal lookul at the Post Office InsjR-clor, telegraphing by their glance; "he's a slick one." Miller talked on. He said his wife kept old letters and new stamps to gether in a "ridicule," which hung against the log wall of the cabin. He iid not know how the old stamp lie caine attached to the letter he mailed, unless one of the old stamps had fallen from a letter and was taken out by mistake. The Deputy Marshall held that the man was undoubtedly in the habit of using old stamps and showed one that looked like it had liecn used as a door mat, saying it had been given to him by Mrs. Wicks, who took it from the "ridicule " of Mrs. Miller. Telegraph service was hero restored between tiie Post Office Jiisiiector am Jiepuly .Marshal, and the message seemed to lie: "That's evidence." Commissioner Peabody did not think the man guilty, as there was no evi- deuce to prove that he put the stamp on the letter and the Commissioner did not think it a crime to collect old stainp.4. B-Jt the Post Office Insjieetor dsired the man held, so he was held, He turned awav when he was told to go, but was call til back by the Deputy Marshal, vh asktil him how much money he had. Miller pulled out greasy wallet and emptied it on the la' ile. 1 wo watcn-keys and a copper cent 1 he Deputy gave him a quarter and Commissioner Peabody another, and with fifty cents the old man start til out to travel fifty-three miles. The Deputy Marshal brought him nere ny ran on a cliarge w lncli was merely a charge, and received his fees for so doing. The Post Office InsjK-ct or is.sutistinl, feeling he has done his duty.

A Comm3;.Sens Appeit A dinner wa arranged in a mtuthcrn city in honor of a visitor from a north ern state, ami the host, when the ci gars were lighted, licgnn to rally his guest by repeating wmc of the usual sectional jokes, says the Youth' Cum 21 n it tit. "We now have a northern Yankee at our mercy," he remarked, jocosely, "and hope that he will not lie intimi dated by the presence of so many southerners. We can assure him that revolvars and bowie-knives have In-en left in the anteroom, and that he is safe, at least until we git our hats and arms." Kverylmdy laughed and expected that the visitor would resMnd to this liadinage by making full use of his privilege of ridiculing southern pecu liarities. He surprised the company by speaking in another vein. "Our host," he began, "traveled with me in Europe, and I observed that wherever we went he registered him self as an American, and never as a southerner. I thought it was a gosl example to follow, and invariably put myself down, not as a northerner, but simply and proudly as an American. What seems to ine singular is the fact that two men, who were content to travel all over Europe :is Americans, should fancy that they are anything in their own country. I do not know why I tthould be anything at home that I am not when I have crossed the sea and gone among foreigners." By this time the company perceived that they were to have something bet ter than old-time Yankee talk and sec tional quis. They encouraged the visitor to continue by applauding him heartily. He ended by making a eoninion sense appeal for a more general use of the good old word "American." "IaI us now U' proud of our com mon country," he said, "when we are abroad among strangers, and ashamed of it when we are at home. I am from the north and you are in the south, hut there is no source of patriotic pride which is open to you that is not mine as well Ii3" virtue of mv birthright at an American. Nor can I glory in any thing that U not yours also." The company rose when the visitor sat down and joined in singing "Hail Columbia" and "He's a jolly good fel low." They voted it one of the liest after dinner spu'ches which they had ever heard, and congratulated him heartily upon his success iu sulistitut ing wholesome ami stimulating patri otism in place of the light diet of acrid sectional jokes.

The offenders were found in a saloon, and Mr. Smith went in there with the sheriff very modestly The sheriff had't more than stated his business when he pulled a pistol and the crowd broke for the Utck door. The sheriff fired and missed, and Mr. Smith tumbled the hindermost man, the others escaping. Then Mr. Smith looked at the sheriff with a look of pain.

Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Makes Another Remarkable Cure. (From the Times I'nlon, Albany, X. V.) Four years ago, Mrs. Markham, who resides on First street, corner of North Swan, noticed a sensitive spot on her left limb. It was apparently nothing serious, but soon devclojicd into a sore, and liefore long the limb was a mass of ulcers. Mrs. Markham employed some of our tiest physicians, hut ol tained no relief. In fact, was told that nothing could be thine for her, so for four years she suffered with these dreadful ulcers, which had eaten their way to the Imne. A little less than a year ago, an ac quaintance told her about Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Ileniedy, ami that he believed she would find relief in us ing it. Mrs. Markham's four years of suffering had made her skeptical, the more so, as she had obtained no relief from any of the physicians who had attended her. The friend offered to send her a lst tletif Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Itemcdy if she would try it. He did so, and there was such a decided improvement that she concluded to give the remedy a fair test. Ttnlay, not quite a year af ter taking the first thse, the ulcers have disappeared, ail that is left to show what she has suiTcred, is a swell ing on the ankle of the left limb, which is fiist tlis.ipt-ariug. Mrs. Markham is naturally strong in her praises of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Iicmedy, and feels that but for it she would now lie a helpless crip ple, if not a corpse.
