amid tumultuous and deafening applause of
the people, to whom he waved his hand
from a distance beyond where the clouds
and the thunders make their home. Higher
and higher went the balloon, amid the un
restrained admiration and enthusiasm of
the people.
When he had reached an altitude cf
nearly half a mile, dense smoke was seen
issuing from the balloon, curling toward the
blue skies, when, horror of horrors! the
balloon was discovered to.be on fire, as
some thought it was before it ascended.
Ton ues of red flame would pierce through
mid dart from its sides. She was soon en-
veloyed in smoke and flame, and instantly
collapsed. The scene now beggared des
cription. Down, with the velocity of the
eaglet stretched upon the wing, down cam*
the seronaut in a ball of fire and smoke.
The sight was sickening and painful. The
shouts ot enthusiasm Were changed into
wild wails of despair. Every cheek was
blanched with terror. Women shrieked
and screamed and feinted away; children
uttered piercing cries, and ran to and fro;
old men, in groaus and stifled sobs, turned
away their gaze, only to look again and
find the terrible reality all too rad; horses
champed their bits, snapped their reins and
ran riderless and uupursued in all directions;
men on horses galloped with the speed of
Mamelukes to the spot where the man was
failing.
Downward, still downward, with arrowy
swiftness came the intrepid tcronaut, a sea
of fire hissing and roaring above his head,
a id clouds enveloping him Nearer and
nearer he approaches, his face to the fire,
his feet to the earth. On he comes, till his
feet strike plumb against a projecting green

The Insurance building on the corner of
Clayton street and College Avenue, is rapid

substantial one and the “double security”
door is massive and burglar proof. This
building is iu a conspicuous place and will
show off very handsomely when finished. It

the dealer by the arm, Ashtabula led him
through the stable, out of the back door,
and round the corner of a blacksmith shop,
Then he set down on a box, took out his
knife, pried off a sliver from the box and
ays he:
“Phil, I understand you've got a cow to
sell. Sit down.”
Philo looked at him a minute, then said,
very quietly: “Oh, you beard I had a cow
to sell, eh ?”
“ Yes,” responded Ashtabula, “ait down
and talk it over.”
Philo looked at him a minute; then he
said, “Conte here, Johnson.”

He went down to where that six-story unfin*
ished building stands, between Dearborn and
State, and crawling through the boards that
are nailed over the door, led Ashtabula up
five flights of stairs, at the imminent risk of
breaking his neck. Puffing and blowing,
they reached the top, and Philo led the way
over the piles of rough lumber, to the ex
treme east end of the building. Then, after
stopping to take breath, he put his mouth
(lose to Ashtabula’s ear, and softly whis
pered, " I’ve sold her.”
It has been nearly a week since that oc

Further on in his report Gem Hill refers
K to Johnston. "Speaking of Dr.
u ’a address, and a reference made to
Gen. Johnston, he brings ont one of the
most remarkable features iu his military
career:
“ Carried away by the enthusiasm caus
ed by the mighty surroundings, Dr. Hoge
made his most eloquent utterances extem
poraneously, and they do not appear in his
published speech. He paid a most glow
ing tribute to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston,
the greatest of living sclaiers, whose sings
ular fortune it was always to encounter
vastly superior forces, and therefore to be
always retreating; but his retreats gave
no confidence to his enemies and demoral
ized not one whit his own devoted follows
era. The cheer that greeted this outburst
of Dr. Hoge was as hearty and spontaneous
from the tens of thousands of listening
soldiers as from the eloquent orator himself.
Gen. Johnston was much affected by this
honest tribute of love, confidence and ad
miration, and came forward'and bowed
his acknowledgement.”
Wc have advices from France, announc
ing the death of Mona C. Berger, who died
at his native place, the town of Thoissey,
Fra :ce, fifty miles from Lyons, on the 12th
inst., at the age of 57. Unquestionably,
M. Berger was the greatest and most skill

the stage, but for some reason hechongtxlhis
mind. ‘ Iu 1850 he made his debut as a
billiard expert, at Lyons; he there met
and defeated a celebrated French expert
by the name of Koutnan. The wonderful
skill he displayed became known through
out France, and his reputation as the best
billiard player in all Franco was at once es
tablished. He then traveled all over En-
rope, giving exhibitions to enthusiast c au
dience*. After this, he settled in Paris,
opening a cafe on the Pa ais Royal, and re
mained there for some yeara. Our Albert
Garnicr’s father purchased this cafe from
him, and employed Berger as a professor of
the game. Tins continued but a short
time, when he re-purchased the cafe. But a
short time idler this, in I860, he came to
this country, making his head-quarters in
this city. He traveled all over the United
States, coining money at his exhibitions.
He returned to Paris in 1861, taking with
him over tit,000 in gold, the net profits of
his American trip. He shortly after opened
a magnificent cafe in Lyons, the finest in
that city, called the Nineteenth Century,
plaining sixteen billiard tables. He

There never was a delusion with less ev

among mankind, which is often the result,
not of accumulated experience, but of an
ever-renewing discontent with the actual
state of things. There is not the slightest
evidence anywhere that man was ever big

under the same conditions of food and cli
mate than he is now.
As to bigness, the evidence is positive.
Modem Egyptians are as big as the mom

Liberia.—Anent the Liberian question,
tho Louisville Courier-Journal thus dis
courses : “The Grebos, it ia reported, have
whipped the Liberian trooja and captured
three of their guns. This is pretty good
evidence that the Grebos are bent on re
pudiating the deed of cession of Cape
r«mas lands, made in 1784 by the three
negro kings, Parma, Weak Boleo and
Baphro. T.io story of tho defeat may,
however, be a pnt-up job to further the
plans of the administration at Washington,
set forth iu that city, to send a man-ol-war
to bolster up the Liberian government If
the story is true, it will doubtless throw
cold water on the regular expedition which
leaves Boston this mouth for Liberia. A
arge number of emigrants are booked for
the African Republic.” - Augusta Cons'i-

“New York, November 3.—A special
dispatch from Fhila.1> lphia says tho Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee of
Pennsylvania gives as the canse of the de
feat of the party, that the men in New
York city, who professed to be Democrats,
interfered in the election in Ohio, and
helped to destroy their brethren "of their
own political creed, and spread disaster
among them. Had th.-ae men been true to
the cause of Democracy, wc would have
carried the State by one hundred thousand
majority.”

—such As the infiltration of water through
cracks, forming vast volnmqs of imprisoned
steam of enormous tension, which, would
necessarily . seek to escape through some
vent, producing volcanic explosions tod
eruptions. The gradual cooling down of the
earth itself would cause disturbances by the
decreased size of the great interior mass, and
the increase of the crust of crytaliization oi
iviously melted matter. Thus there would

creasing tension oil the rode strata, which at
times would give way at the weaker places;
the noises of the cracking rocks would sound
like the rolling of wheels over the pavements,
or like the rambling of distant thunder, ac
