The Order Countermanded.
To make things sure, I bad an order
Written to Cultural Wcltxel, and signed
by the president, aa follows: "Return
my tvormlHslon to thu legislature of Vir
ginia to meet, and don't allow it to incot
nt all." Thoro was u fruit wagon at tho
landing, and giving tho order to an of
llcer, I said to him: "Jump Into that
wagon and kill thu horso, If necessary,
but catch tho carriago which carried
General Weltrel and Campbell, and do
liver this order to tho general." Tho
carriago was caught lieforo it reached
tho city. Thu old fruit wagon horso had
beon n trotter in Ids day, and wont Ida
three minutes. Tho general and Camp
liell wero surpilsed. Tho president's
order wi.h sent back, and thoy never re
turned to try and roversotho prcBldenfa
decision.
Cmnpboll evidently oaw that his
scheme of trying to put tho Htato legisla
ture in session with tho sanction of tho
president had failed, and that it wan
UHolesn to try (t again. It was a clover
dodgo to sooth tho wounded fcelingn of
tho south, and no doubt was kindly
meant by tho late Justice Camplioll,
but what n howl it would bavo raised ut
tho north. Campbell had boon gono
about an hour when wo had another ro
markublo hcoiio. A man appeared nt
tho landing drcssod In gray homespun,
with a somewhat decayed apK:irance,
and with n stair about six feet long in
IiIh hand. It was, In fact, nothing more
than a Htlck taken from a wood-pllo. It
was two and a half Inchon In dlamotor,
and wan not ovon smoothod at tho knotn,
It wim just such a weaiwn as n man
would pick up to kill u mad dog with.
"Who nro you, and what do you
wantV" asked tho olllcorof thu dock.
"You cannot como on board unless you

"I nin DuirCreen," said tho man. "1

Tho ofllcor camo down Into tho cabin
and delivered tho moHsago. I nroso and

It had beon 11 very long timo nlnco ho

"When you come," I Raid, "in a re

so still. "I can't iermlt you to sco tho

Ho turned on his heel mid tiled to
throw tho slick on shorn, but It foil short
and went floating down w'ith tho cur

I went down und roKrtcd this queer

Lincoln gradually withdrew his out

A Startling Adventure In a Balloon
)U Tlandler mid Gower'a Trip
from Autouil Tlmcljr
, Prccftntlon. 1
Wo got under way und steamed down
the river. While I had been up nt Rich
mond the gunboat peoplo had complete
ly removed nil tho torjicdoea from tho
bed of the river and laid them nil out
many queer fish basking in tho sun.
They wero of all sizes, mid somo wcru
as largo as filnall alligators, which is
rathor an incomprehensible description
of them.
Tho president had originally proposed
to como up on horseback, but I told
him that "thoro was not a particle of
danger from torpedoes; that I would
havo them all taken up." When he
saw them all on tho bank ho turned to
1110 and said: "You must havo been
'a winl afraid' of getting on that sor
goant's old horso again to risk all this."
Wo got down safe, however. Thero
was not enough clangor to mako it in
teresting. Tho president had Bomo
quaint remarks nbout everything wo
saw, particularly about Dutch Gap,
which ho said "ought to havo been com
menced beforo tho war nt least ten
years." "Then," ho said, "you might
havo had a chanco of gotting your gun
boats up that way. By tho way, your
friend, tho gonoral, wasn't 11 'boss' en
gineer. IIo was bottor at running cot
ton mills. How many peoplo did it cost
for that jetty ho conquered?"
"Ono hundred and forty killed
thoro," I saiil, "as far ns I can loam."
Then lio wont Into a discussion of tho
generals of tho war what difficulties ho
Jiad in making appointments, otc. Ho
illustrated each caso with n story. 111
speaking of ono general, ho said it re
minded liim of a Iriond of his a black
smith ho know out west when ho was
n boatman. This old friend was cele
brated for making good work, especial
ly nxos, which wuro in groat demand in
that day. No boatman had a coinpleto
outfit unless ho had 11 good ax.
"Ono day," said tho president, "ho
said to mo: 'Lincoln, I havo tho finest
piuco of steel you ovor saw ; I got it on
purpose to make an nx for you ; you
shall havo tho nx whon it is finished.'
'Go ahead,' I said, and I Bat down to
toll tho story while ho mado tho nx.'
"My frlond, tho blacksmith, first put
on a liugo ploco of fresh coal nnd blow
it up until it wiib at a proper heat tho
coals glowing thon ho took up tho
ploco of steel and looked at It affection
atoly, patted it ovor thon, 'Lincoln,' ho
Bald, 'did you over seo 11 pleeo of steel
equal to that? It'll mako you a com
panion you'll nevor want to part with,
and whon you aro using it you will think
of mo.' Then ho put it Into tho flro mid
began to work his bellows, whllo I com
menced my story. Ho blow and blow
until tho steel wi,s ft deop rod heat,
when, taking It out of tho flro and laying
it on tho anvil, ho gavo it n clip with a
four-pound hnmmor. Lord bless you,
how tho sparks How, and big rod scalos
also, Tho blacksmith hit it about a
dozen blows and thon stopped, 'Lin
coln,' ho said, 'hero's 11 go, ami 11 bad
ouo, too. This lump of stool ain't worth
tho powder that would blow it up, I
novor was so deceived in anything in all
my life. It won't mako nn ax. But I'll
toll you what it will mako. It will mako
n clovis,' mid ho put it lu tho 11 ro again
and wont through tho sumo porformanco
must bo a ten-penny nail in this.' But
ho was mistaken ; there was only a Btnall
piece of wire left. Ho was actually
dazed. 'Burn tho thing,' id he, 'I
don't know what to mako of it. I tried
it as nn ax; it failed mo. Then it foiled
mo as a clevis. It failed me as a clevis
bolt, and the cussed thing wouldn't oven
mako n ten-penny nail! But I'll tell
you, old fellow, what it will make,' and
ho put it in tho fire again until it and
tho tongues wero at white heat. Then,
turning around, ho rammed it into a
bucket of water. 'There, durn you,
you'll mako a big fizzle, and that's nil
you will maker and it sputtered and
fizzed until it went out, and thero was
nothing of it left.
"Now that's the caso with tho person
I was speaking of," continued the pres
ident. "I tried him an an ax. I tried
him as a clevis. He was so full of
shakes ho wouldn't work into one. I
tried him as a clevis bolt. He was a
dead failuro, and ho wouldn't mako oven
a ten-penny nail. But ho did make the
biggest flzzlo that has been made this
war, and fizzled himself out of the army
' Willi n shocking liad manner.
And llii credit at zero,
lie was contented lo stay
At home as a hero!"
"Wo anchoied a short time afterward,
and wero glad to be looking on tho quiet
wlinrvon nt Oitv Point. That ovonlnir
lMinril mid escort in somo prisoners, who as ii
were placed on board a largo transport
Ivinir In tho stream. There wero about
1000 prisoners. The president expressed
a desire to go on shore. I ordered the
barge and went with liim. "Wo ltad to
paBS tho transport with tho prisoners.
Thoy all rushed to tho sido with eager
curiosity. All wanted to sec tho north
ern president. They wero perfectly con
tent. Every man had a hunk of meat
and a pieco of bread in his hand, and
was doing his lwst to dispose of them.
"That's old Abo," said one, in a low
voice. "Give tho old fellow three
cheers," said another, while a third
called out: "Hello, Abe, your bread
and meat's bctter'n pop-corn."
It was all good-natured, and not meant
in unkindness. I could seo no differ
ence between them and our own men,
oxcopt that they wero ragged and atten
uated for want of wholesome food. They
wero as happy a set of men as over I
saw. Thoy could seo thoir homes loom
ing up beforo them in tho distance, and
know that tho war was ovor.
"Thoy will novor shoulder a musket
again in linger," raid tho president,
"and if Grant is wise ho will Icavo them

Very recently a startling experience of
Messrs. Gaston Tissandicr and Frederick
Gowcr, husband of Nordica, tho American
prima donna, showed that tho practical
dangers of ballooning aro still far from
being surmounted however well actual
disasters may be avoided by coolness and
skill. These two gentlemen ascended
from tho Tissandicr establishment at
Autcull about 1 o'clock, to contlnuo a
tcrlcs of scientific experiments upon cer
tain theories advanced by M. Gowcr.
They sailed slowly across Paris to tho
southeast at a hlght of about 1,000 feet,
and disappeared in tho direction of Vin-
ecu tics. In answer to tho inquiry of a
Mcrntog News representative M. Gowcr
relates what befell tho voyago afterward.
" Wo wero at a bight of 0,000 feet above
tho village of Fontcnny, A fete was
going on there, and tho faint echo of
drums, mingled with the cries of children
and tho barking of dogs, just reached our
airs amid nil the awful silence of tho
heavens. Wo were among tho clouds of
the lower stratum, nnd had before our
eyes the magnificent spectacle of their
formntion. The forces of nature moved
them to and fro in a kind of sullen
majesty, now piling them into a mountain
just above our heads, and then, as tho
mass toppled to its fall, dispersing it sud
denly, as by a blow from tho hammer of
some invisible Titan, making rifts
through which we saw tho fair green
lands, and then quickly closing them, as
the vaporous monsters rolled into fresh
combinations. It was tho inner temple of
creative power, perhaps the grandest
sight revealed to human eyes, and wo
stood entranced fa silent admiration.
"Suddenly we felt a breath of cold and
bltinsr nlr, as thouch the world had re
volved beneath us and brought us over the
pole. At the same moment, the needle
upon a vertical scale (from which I had
been reading indications of level) began to
travel with a startling speed. A sound
like the roar of surf filled our ears for an
instant, and then gavo placo to the noise
of the fete, which had now swelled into a
cry, as it seemed, from every living thing
below. Tissandier threw out sand, and
the sand lluw up in our faces. Our breath
camo short and hard, and wc felt the rush
ing nlr as on a steamer against the wind.
Wo wero falling, suddenly, as though tho
great g'obo above our heads had given
wayl Yet no.iing visible had happened,
save that the under surface of the envelope
had all nt once grown hollow and wrinkled,
liko the face of nn aged man. The clouds
were gone, as by magic, and tho earth was
rushing at us, with its thousand voices in
full cry. Tissandicr stood cool and firm.
