Then the ropes will be slipped, and— away up among the clouds the young lady will aril with s little dog her only companion.

Miss Leons will, however, far eclipse this, soaring up to an altitude of 4,000 feet before she deserts the “ship of air," and entrusts herself to the paraebute. In order to get a oiear conception of the really great height, It Is only neces sary to remember that a mils up In the sir Is only 5,280 feet—and Just imagines mile turned bottom upwaids.

The vast and complicated machinery of pollUoi.will bo eet In motion to-day, and the complexion of municipal polities will undergo s change. The morning will dawn clear, cold and crisp; the shades of night wiU gather feet over three defeated aldermen. Such i* the Inevitable nature of things, as sore as the decree of destiny. Chairman Windsor, of the democratic committee, was seen last evening con cerning the managers of the election, and says: “The polls will open prompt ly at • o’clock, closing at 4. The mana gers will be selected in the morning and will bo in control in ample time for the voting.” Polities was the all-ebeorbing theme yesterday; discussed by old and young, Irrespective of creed, clast or condition. Speculation was engrossed In making slates and spotting the lucky three. Tbeguesees present a kaleidoscopic variety, or the asms variety that exists after the explosion of s powder mill. All tba candidates will havo tickets and a sort of “drop-a-niokle-in-tbe-slot” and taka your cholco will prevail. With the retirement of Messrs. Logan, Williams and Williford, Americus loses three solid and conservative aldermen, bat with the present tickets in the field there Is no doubt but that she will get three io their place In whose bands the city affairs will be satisfactorily at tended to. Polities are a queer game and there is no telling what a shuffle ot the eards will bring forth. The registered dyed-in-tbe wool demo crats alone can wield the ballot and they will alone determine who will be the nost aldermen. Take enough interest in your city to come out and cast s vote to-day In favor of your choice, but, by all means, be certain and vote.

HAMIL, landtag Cambridge, Maes.. Dec. 1.—B;v. James G. Spaulding, late rector of ancient Christ church, this city, has become a Roman Catholic. AH doubt in the matter was set at rest, when in u address of over an hoar’s duration he took formal leave of hto flock and rave his reasons for a change of faith. The church was thronged. Stating that he was not to preach s sermon, announced no text, but said if there were any words of tie Scripture which be wonld like to quote as applicable to hto position they wonld bo those of St. Paul at the time of hto conversion, "Where art Tboo, Lord? Lord, what will Thou have me to do?" declaring that be had acted in this important matter ouly after long snd peaceful consideration covering a period of years. He said in brief: "I will say at once that what first Set me tfaiukiug in tbe direction which has resulted thus far in my giving np the rectorship war the rationalism, the free- thinking niid tbe unbelieving in the Episcopal und tbe entire Angelican community. I wish here to correct a Now is the time to buv vour misapprehension. It has been said by “ J C DU J J 0Ur some that uy reasons retched their culmination at the time of the recent Episcopul election for bishop (Phillip Brooks). This is a mistake. My action would be- just what it has been if the highest churchman in the land had been made bishop. The ouly effect It bas, this most recent victory of advanoed thought, is that it emphasizes my so- tlon, oud my action emphasises it. After referring to the question which arose in his mind as to whether the Episcopal church had ths authority claimed for it, he said tbe result of this line of thought had led him to the con viction that the Roman Catholic was the true church. He said: "I found myself so far advanced toward the po sition of the Catholic church snd so far removed from the Anglicon church that I could not conscientiously continue iu the discharge of my ministerial duties. The result of my investigations has been a steadily strengtheningprofession of the claim of the Roman CathoUc church. I may be mistaken; if so may God further enlighten me. ” Dr. Spaulding expects to engage in educational work, but as yet has uo def inite plans.
