Melancholy Catastrophe.-The extra
ordinary tete, which was some tune an-
nounced at Tivoli, took place on MONDAY
night, and has been signalIzed by fright
tui catastrophe. Among the numerous
entertainments which had been promised
TO the public, was the ascent OF Madame
Blanchard in a luminous balloon orna-
mented with artificial fireworks. Accord
ingly at halt past ten o'clock, this intrepid
aeronaut, dressed 10 white, having also
white hat with feathers, entered the boat.
The signal being given, the balloon rose
gently, but by throwing out ballast Ma
dame Blanchard caused it to ascend more
rapidly. The Bengal firepots illuminated
this brilliant ascent. The aeronaut waved
her flag, aid the air resounded with ac-
CARNATIONS. Suddenly the balloon entered
a light cloud which completely extipsuish-
ed the freposs. Madame Blanchard then
ignited the artificial fireworks, which pro-
duced the effect expected, when some Of
the flying fuses we're seen to direct them
selves perpendicularly towards the bal
loon, and the fire communicated with its
base. A frightful brilliancy instantly
struck terror into all the spectators, leav-
ing no doubt Of the deplorable fate OF the
aeronaut.
3 1t is impossible TO paint what passed at
this moment at Tivoli. Cries Of agony
burst forth in every direction: a great
number of females suffered violent nervous
attacks; and CONSERVATION was painted
upon the conntenances of every one.
The gendarmes instantly galloped to-
wards the place, where it was presumed
she would fall, and the lifeless body Of
Madame Blanchard was in a quarter, of
an hour conveyed 10 Tivoli. She fell
from height Of more than 400 feet, 10
the Rue de Province; the body was still
10 the boat, being caught in the cords by
which it was attached to the balloon.
We need hardly add, that at the gene
raj command all the amusemeuts ceased,
and that no more fireworks were played
off. A collection was instantly opened 10
favour OF Madame Blanchard's family.
The unfortunate woman was about As
years Of age.
Curious Contract.-A student of Vien-
IA, native OF Prussia, lately blew out
his brains in tavern at Leopoldstadt, I'M
der the following extraordinary ciFcum-
stances. This young man arrived at vi
emma, accompanied by an intimate friend,
and fell in love with young lady, who
also engaged the affections Of bis FREUD.
A challenge ensued, but each felt strong
repugnance TO take the life Of his friend.
1t was therefore agreed to decide the affair
by party at piquet, on the undertaking
tina; the party who lost should blow out his
own brains. The game was accordingly
played, and the loser, youth of 10, in
stantly paid the forfeit, by shooting him
self through the head.-LOnd. paper.

an article Of this treaty the women and
children captured were TO be restored,
and the boundary line between the nations
run and established, under the authority
OF the United States.
Nov, the complaint Of the Osages is.
that the captives have not been restored,
nor the line established; and that the
Cherokees intrude upon their hunting
grounds. And the chiefs here come 10
give notice to the United States, as the
guarantee of the treaty, OF these infrac-
items, before they proceed to redress them
selves.
The Osages, few years ago, were
the terror OF all neighboring people gi-
gantic in their stature, aad ferocious in
their disposition. They are still remark
ed for their lofty stature and fine persons,
but their ierocity OF temper has yielded
to the influence of civilization. They
are now accounted the most peaceable Of
all the Indians. In 1906. Capt. Pike, who
visited their towns, said that they had
become quakers in their policy and Guilt
yators in their habits. Their conduct
with The Cherokees has correspondent with
this character; and ii is greatly to be de-
sired that the efficient interpretation Of the
government may confirm them in the habit
| of appealing to the United States for the
redress Of their wrongs.--Enquirer.

BALTIMoRE, Aug. lG

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10.
Our correspondent at Norfolk, writes
under date Of Aug. 10, that Capt. Webb
had just arrived there, 10 20 days from
Maracaibo, bringing the following intelli-
gence. About the time Of his sailing, Goth
ult.) news reached there of the defeat Of
Gen. Morillo at Calumbuso, small place
a short distance up the Lake, and that his
loss was very great indeed. He had since
made requisition for more troops, ammu-
milton, and clothing, but it was not probable
il would be filled. The Patriots were
highly e!ated at their success, as the odds
we're greatly against them. Capt. w. did.
not understand the name of the general
commanding the Patriot forces.

the Arkansas which mentions an OUTRAGE
committed by the Cherokees upon he
Osages. The injury stated is the robbery
of forty horses and the killing of fonr
men. We had not heard of this affair
although some of the Usage chiefs have
been 10 town for some weeks; and thence
infer belief that the statement is ipcor.

CHINESE METHOD OF TAKING WILD

CHINESE METHOD OF TAKING WILD
FOWL.
Whenever the fowler sees number oil
ducks settled in any particular ptash Of
water, he sends OF two or-three gourds to
float among them. These gourds resem-
BILE our pumpkins but, being made hollow,
they float on the surface Of the water
and 90 the pool there may sometimes be
seen twenty or thirty Of these gourds float
ing together. AT first the fowl are shy at
coming near them, asd by degrees they
approach nearer, az khe birds at length
grow familiar with @scare- crow, the ducks
gather about them, and amuse themselves
by whetting their bills against them.
When the birds are as familiar with the
gourds as the fowler could wish, he pre-
pares to deceive them more effectually.
He hollows out one of these gourds large
enough to put his head in; and, making
holes to breathe and see through, he claps
it on his head. Thus accoutered, he
wades slowly into the water, keeping his
body under, and nothing but his head in
the gourd above the surface: inthat man.
ner he moves imperceptibly towards the
fowls, who suspect no danger. At last,
however, he fairly gets among them; while
they having been long used to see gourds,
take not the least alarm while the enemy
is ID the very midst of them; and an in
sidious enemy he is; for, whenever he ap.
proaches fowl he seizes it by the legs.
and draws it in jerk under water, there
he fastens it under his girdle, and proceeds
to the next, till he has loaded himself
with as many as be can carry away. When
he has cot bis quantity, without ever at
tempting to disturb the rest of the fowls
on the pool, he slowly moves off again ;
and in this manner, pays the flock three
or four visits in day. OF all the various
articles for catching fowls, this seems
likely to be attended with the greatest sue
cess, and is the most practised 10 China.
