The other day a white man re. ferredtohim as a "coon" and "moke," and he had been severely censured by several members of the club for not resenting the insult. He would like a decision by the President. " My dear brudder," said the President as he looked down upon him, " if it doeasartin white men heaps of good to refer to cnll'd men a s'caons' and ' mokes' I dunne why we should kick.

Da cha'r sustains Brudder Smith in preservin' a grin on his face when called a ' moke' and a ' coon.' BECONSIDBRED. The Hon. Anxiety Smith desired to call up the case of Jack Loney, LL. D a 'bu. driver at Ann Arbor. Application for mem- bership was made some six months ago, but the committee reported unf *vorably. Par- ties in Ann Arbor had informed them that Mr. Loney had purcharod a liquid to straight- en his hair, and intended to be of Indian de- scent. The committee decided that a man who would go back on hia race would not enj y himself in the Lime-Kiln Club. Bro- ther Smith now desired to state that he had run the story to the ground, and that it was a ba-e canard. Mr. Loney, far from want- ing sfaight hair, was using aloes and alum water to make it kink the closer. Ho was a big-hearted, industrious, honest man, and it was hoped that the club would revise the action of the committee. After considerable discussion the applicant was made a mem- ber under a suspeDsion of the rules. A NKW CLUB. The Secretary announced a communication from Friday Alexander Webster, of Ypsil- anti, Mich., asking permission to organize a branch club in that city. As charter mem- ber, he named James Embers, the Hon. IM. Hawaon, Jadga Henry Gaines, Alexander ttae Great, Fatty Hawes, Edward Low and Bob Butler. None of these parties have lifted a puUet or carried off a watermelon during the last fifteen years, and all are be- liever, in Beecher*. lateet theory. The matter wa. referred to ^« CoiMaittee on Judiciary, with leave to vnit Ypdla^ on a freight train, if positively necewary, and the meeting adjourned.

And he wa. very jeJon. of the dog toat wandered toe rtreet. without a home, beoauae that dog did not have to rah- nut to toe indignity of a weekly bato. OiM day when toe unhappy UtOe dog wa. nmning acrow the lawn in one of hi. moat sorrowful mood., toorongfaly diasatiafied with himMlf and the world generaUy, he eapied a new.omament on toe grsH. It wa. a large ball, apparently of quiok- Wver, and had great reflecting power and when toe dog nw himMlf in it be wa. am- ple electrified wito miipriw, for toe ball magnified him into a dog of great nze and dignity. " I Me," Mid the unhappy little dog, who was now happy, " toat 1 am a large dog af- ter all, «nd that I have been kept in ignor- ance of my siza and rtreogth toat I might not become dangerous. I suppoM it ia toe Mme with great animal.. The elephant, in a.l probability, think, he is no larger than a pig, and tliat i. what make, him m gentle and kind. Tne next time toat cat Kratchea me, I shall tell toe miee to come out here some moonlight night and look at toenuelve., and they will discover that toey are a. large as sheep, no doubt, and toat will Im an end ot Mr. Cat." Then the little dog viewed himself wito great pride and Mtiafaction. The ailver ball did not increaae hia height a. much a. it did his breato but it made him appear a. liigh as a maatiff, and hi. muacte. aiood out like aaplioga r«nd when he opened hia mouto and aaw what great teeto he had, he remarked " I think it a great ahame that I did not Imow tola before. Here I have been chaaed and wantonly bitten by little inaignifioant dcga, .Imply becauae I toought myaelf weak and harmleai. But now that I know I am great, I ahall have a big, brave heart to cor- reapond. And I shall not deign to notice the amall pet doga I used to play wito, but shall only associate with the large ones. I suppose I ought to go up toe road now and h*ve my revenge out of toat bull-dog that gave me such a thrashing toe other day." So he bustled away, like a amall man who haa auddenly had grdajneaa thruat upon him, and ia full of hia own importance. A little way up the road he mec the buU-dog, " How do you do " aaid the bull-dog. The other bowed haughtily. " What'tthe matter wito yon? ' aaked the ball-dog " haven't you had any dioner. T ' " Yea, and a good big one, too," replied the dog who had auddenly diacovered hia greatness. " You seem to be rather out of aorta," aaid the bull-dog, " Perhapa your digestion is not good." " I tnink I could digest yon in a few min- utes, Jack," rep led the warlike. ** If you are going to treat me wito haugh- ty disdain," said toe bull-doj, " you should call me by my last name, wliich i. Stilton, with toe prefix of Mr." Here the warlike dog held hi. paw over his mouto to conceal the smile that played on his feature.. " What are you laughing at " demanded toe bull-dog. " I was just laughing at your name, and wondering if you are a member of toe great Stilton Cheese familyâ€" toat was alL" "That was enough," aaid toe bull-dog: " hi fact, a little too much. You ahonld have controlled your feature, until you got off a little way. Don't you know it i. not polite to anicker right in a dog'a face " " I don't know whetoer it ia or not, and don't care. I anicker whenever I pleaae." " Then you are no gentledog," .aid the bull- dog, " and I think I'll teach yon auch anotoer wholeaome leason aa I did when I thraahed you toe other day." " I w«a aick that day," relied toe new- made warrior " I had, only an hour before toe fight, dined on lobster croquett jS. But I am well to-day." The details of a dog-fight are anything but entertaining. Therefore it is but necessary to state that the dog whose greataeu exist- ed only in a lawn reflector was taught a val- uable leason. When he limped back home, all the other little doga met bim in the yard, and laughed until they had to hold their pawa againat their sides. And even the old hens caught toe fit, and were obliged to pnt their heads under their winga to conceal toeir mirto. And then toe crest-fallen dog went down to look at himself again in the silver ball on the lawn. He waa jnat aa large a. ever, but oh, how he wa. aatoniriied at what he aaw He waa covered with gaahee, and every gaah aeemed an inch wide, and every mark of hia opponent'a teeth aeemed a. large a. an auger hole for toe rilver b*ll magnifi- ed the wound, juat as it did toe dog, •• Gracioua .aid the vanqnitoed champ- ion, " that dog must be twice aa large aa he aeema to be, and I am free to confeaa that I am about the aaddeat and wiaeat, if not the sorest, dog in this community. I shall fight no more, and I shall never agafai aUow my- aelf tc be deceived ints the belief toat I am greater than any other dog." Giandiiiother BT L. A. D. CHAMBlW.ni.

BALLOO;? STEEKIKO, The mort recent feat in aerial navagation wu performed in France on November 8, 1884, when Captaln.Renard and Krebs made a bsJloonvoyage from Mendon to Bellanconrt, and retnrned, alighting at the point from whioh toey started in forty-five minutM. The aeronauts made a complete suocom in rteering toe balloon. Thi. wu toe third attempt made by Captain Rwurd wito hia balloott .teering apparatn.. Hi. Mcond ex- periment was far from being .atiaf actory. He aacended at Mendon on September 13, expecting to go to the Champ. ElysMs, and wu able for acme aeconda to Mil againrt a rtrong breeze, but hia attempt to rise or to return to his starting point wu a failure, the propeller ceased to revolve after ten minutes, and he descended at Versaillu. Bis first at empt waa in August, 1884, when Captain Renard started from Mendon, and although the balloon moved against the wind it easily fallowed toe course along which it wu steered. It wu taen veeied around and brought back to the point from which it started. The eucceaa of thia feat created the greatest interest 'J.n all the military cir- cles of Europe, and M. Herve Manjon brought toe matter to toe attention of toe Franch Academy of SsiencM. Captain Ren- ard's balloon waa cigar shaped, and pointed at each extremity â€" not aimply underneath, uisusually toe case. In toe car were seats for two aeronauts, and the balloon had a di- recting apparatus and a rudder. The force was obtained by a series of electric accumu- lators of ten horse power, and the balloon Was operative for four houra. bbisson's failckk. On October 29th, 1883, an experiment took flace at the Placode la DefenM, Gourbevoie, aria, whioh compriaed a Musatienal balloon ucent and toe use of a- new contrivance for aerial navagation invented by M. Brisson. The apparatus wu lozengeahaped, and could be compared to the upper deck of one of the small pusenger* steamers which cross from Dover to Calais. It wu a actft of a platform, Mfely surrounded by iron railings, one of which at the height of two yards urved u a .npport for another platform, on whioh ninis parachute., in the .hape of a cup, about 45 inches high, wero placed side by aide. ThoM cupolu were auppoMd toreaerve under their airtight domes a certain quantity of air con- aideredto be len denae than the interior layer of air. The apparatn. in its de cent w s expected to displace a volume of air equal t. its proper weight, and conifcqnentiy to find its support upon a layer of air men deuM toan that Stored under the cupolu. At about 5 p. m. toe balloon stirted, with M. Brisson's apparatus attached to it, with a sudden rush, and diMppeared in leu than two minutes in a thick fog. The next day one of the aeronauts reported that after leaving Courbevoie his party plunged into a toiok fog, but at an altitude of 300 .yards toe sky wu fine and bright, and the Mtting sun gave a briUiant light. A sudden expan- sion of toe gas made toem arcend 1,600 metrra witoout having to throw out any lial- last. Having reached that altitude a stroiu; pull wu given to the safety valve, and al- most immediately the balloon dMoended wito a certain rapidity which one of toe aeronauts attempted to control in order to MO whetoer M. Brisson's apparatus would offer any resistance, or, in other words, re- main in toe air by itaelf The cable to which the apparatua waa fixsd did not even bend, and consequently the result of toe experi- ment wu entiroly nnwturfaotory. At about six hundred metrea' altitude the aeronaut had to regulate toe dewent by throiring out ballut, u he wu afraid to make the land too swiftly. F/ually a sucoeasful landing wu made at Maladrorie of Poiaay. grimlet's attempt. In June, 1870, Professor Grimley rtarted on a lialloon voyage from Montreal for New York in toe airship Canada, but he had a fearful experience, and came near loung hi. life. After ascending for toe first few hun- drad feet it wu found that the trip could not be made on acoonnt of the poor qu^ty of thegftsuaed. ThewhMl. for steering and the rudder of the aeri«l car worked splendid^ ly, and altoough toe balloon had drifted away from the point of starting a fe v turn, of the crank brought it to the ume Qot again. The aeronaut started at eightMu ndnutea to eight p. m., and landed in safety at ten p. m. in toe village of St Jules, forty- five miles distant from Montreal. THE BALLOOK FALLACT. In Sept«nber, 1878, Profeuor C. R, RitcheU's six ship wu unt up at Hartford, Conn. It conalated of a balloon above and a revolving vertical Mrew, worked by hand power, beneato for liftim; pnrpoM., and a borizontal .crew for ateerlng. It Uliutrated toe balloon fallacy to a nksety.
