consequence Of a balloon starting on lis own
hook, without the consent of the proprietor.
A large coneoufse CT people had assembled
TO see an feronaut take flight for The regions
OF upperalr, but, unfortunately. before he
took his sent in the car The Hrostat got loose
and the graphing hook, which was dangling
from the machine, hltcied into the indeserib-
ables OF a boy who was gazing open.1nouthed
at The ascending mass, aud carried him up
wi||y-nllly. The women as a matter Of
course, screamed and tainted, but the lad,
who seemed to have been a hero in his way
elasped the rope tightly with his hand and
feet, and with an awful rent in his afore-
saids, was introduced by his inflated compan-
ion into the upper circles. After a short voy-
age, the balloon descended, and deposited the
little fellow safe on terra frma.

an editorial OF which the following is an
extract:
"In this country we might raise bread
stufs cheaper than they are raised IN
France. We want boots and shoes to
wear. and the French want bread TO eat.
Wha, political economs! would pretend
to ,aV that i. is not better to take the
French boots at half The price We can
make them, and give them in return
wheat at less price than they can raise
it for themselves"
This is The doctrine. When wheat
gets dowr to sixteen cents bushel,
we can ship it 10 France and get French
boots 10 relurn, cheap, dog cheap! Only
reduce the wheat lou enough, and we
can get French boots-as fine as ne"
