President Taylor was among them, not
as the.kings of Europe when they come
down among the people, surrounded by
guards/ir star-spangled attendants ; qo,
but unattended, alone, plain in attire as
the grcaicst part ol them strangers to
him. Yet he seemed to feel that he
was among friends, and his honest face,
and his uuassuming bearing, his straight
forward, friendly manner, and the cor
dial pressure of his hand, made a friend
even of the stranger who was for tbe
first time introduced to him. He stood
there s^yene, smiling to the children who
were running about and tumbling in
the grass in unrestrained liberty. He
spoke of the pleasure they gave him.
It was truly a republican scene—one
of those we would fain sec more often
oh earth—where nil distance between
men, nil difference of rank and fortune
are done away with, and life is again
an Idyl full of innocence and beauty in
llic lap of great nature. May tbe star-
spangled banner (loot wider over such
scenes, such banquets of life !
The next lime I saw President Tay

and this too, when she might have been j An immense multitude assembled ‘to
: see the ascent. The local journals say
that the town was completely deserted,
and that the adjacent villages sent their
contingents. When Mr. Gale was seen
to ascend rapidly into the air, seated on
his pony, with the bridle in one hand
and saluting the public with the other,
there was a sort of a shudder or fear in
tbe vast gathering.
I he pony was perfectly calm, with
bis legs hanging and his neck bent; but
he made no movement. The descent
of Mr. Gale, which took place at a short
distance from Bordeaux, proved fatal

But even there, although her fortune
was ample, she had very few of those
luxuries, for which women now-a-days
waste exorbitant sums, and barter away

Mrs. Washington was an economist.
She was itotabove aitendingto the minor
matters connected with household du
ties, and performing them too with her
own hands. Ladies, now-a-days, are
so oppressed with the ennui, that they
lounge in bed, while away time, till near
ly noon ; never look at domestics, un
less to reprimand ^ them, and as to
looking after^l^cm, that is entirely out
pied wilnWlress, and fashionable calls
attend to things so menial.
But Mrs.' Washington seldom allow
ed the sun to rise before her, attired her
self simply for the morning, gave direc
tions to her servants, with reference to
the disposition of their lime during the
day, supervised the quantity of food
which was likely to be consumed, and
superintended at its cooking herself.

and a useful one, while the lives of very

sufficient gas in it (ogive an ascensional
force, after losing the weight of the horse,
rose suddenly, and the anchor, which
held by a tree, being loosened by the
sudden motion, the shock upset the car.
Mr. Gale, however, clung to the ropes,
and was fortunately able to pull the
string of the valve, to cause a further
escape of the ga3. The ascent of the
balloon was then checked, and it was
thought, in consequence, at Bordeaux,
that he had succeeded in climbing up
into the ear. This, however, was not
the case, as the next day the balloon
was discovered lying on the ground,

pony was liberal^!, and on further

that wretched culprit, than all the rest,
and who in consequence received ihi

of the building which was the scene of
the crime, describing its localities and

explanations, comments and opinions,
with regard to the horrible affair.
Accompanying the model are full
length wax figures, representing the
murderer and the murdered, the fea
tures of whose face is imitated with a
sufficient nearness to nature togive the
spectator a ghastly idea of their appear-
auce while alive. These figures are
dressed in semblances of “ the custo

and unnatural appearance which such
things always do. The far famed Mad
