BALLOONING.

The ascension of Mr.. Elliott from Carr.

successful. He did not exactly coup on
horseback. as his own position was some
distance above the animal /; but he took
up with him, suspended in air with out
stretched legs, real live horse. Tho
horse seemed to be considerably aston
ished as the earth receded he turned
his head from side to side, and seemed
to cock his eye quite knowingly at the
crowd beneath ; but finding no use for
his legs, he displayed his good fhcrse
sense" by holding them perfectly still,
no doubt fully convinced that he was

monster in size, and looked beautiful az
it rose through the clear evening air.
At considerable elevation, it took di-
rection little west of north, and sailed
away to astonish the natives about the

THE LITTLE SISTERS.
A PRETTY STORY

"You were not here, yesterday" said
the gentle teacher of the village school.
as she placed her hand kindly on the
curly head of one OF her pupils. 1t was
recess time, but the little girl addressed,
had not gone to frolic away the ten min
utes, nor even left her seat, but sat ab'
sorbed in what seemed fruitless attempt
to make herself master of sum in long
division.
Her face and cheek crimsoned at the
remark of her teacher, but looking up
she seemed somewhat re-assured by the
kind glance that met her and answered,
eNo ma am, | was not, but sister Nelly
was"
81 remember there was little SIR

"It was not because ! didn't want to, y

paused, and the deep flush again tinged
that fair brow, ''but," she continued af-

From the Albany Argus, Aug IS
C0URTSHIP AND ENGAGEMENr BY
TELEGRAPH.

Some months since a young gentleman
of this city entered the Morse telegraph
office, and requested 10 be instructed in
such Of the mysteries of telegraphing as
the operators could or would inform him
such as would not interfere with the
secrets of the Office. The obliging ope-
rator proceeded to do SO, and in the course
of his instructions explained to the fresh
man the mOdus aperaRdi of writing. 1t
should be known that at one of the sta
tions west of the city, in quite a small
but enterprising village, female-the
school mistress ofthe village is the ope-
rator at the telegraph station.
While the operator in this city was
going through his explanations, the
Office called Albany, and made bust
ness inquiry, 10 which an answer was re-
turned by the Albany operator, who, in
professional manner, inquired the name
of the anxious inquirer, and sent it, with
the gentleman's compliments, TO the
office (which the female had charge of.
Miss c. I'VE mean the OPERATOR re-
piled returning her compliments, and
gave the state of the weather, &C., at.
The gentleman was immensely" de-
lighted with the idea of interrogating
person, and that person a female, one
hundred and fifty miles distant, and
through the kindness of the operator ad-
dressed several interrogatories to her, all
of which were answered in a most graft
flying manner. The novice in telegraph
ing was delighted, not to say enchanted.
He called again the next day and per-
suaded the operator to again summons
the-office. Again did he ENJOY a
delightful tete-a-tete-think of IA tete-a-tete
one hundred and fifty miles removed =
with his charming incognita, or, We
should say, inamOrita, for the novice was
all absol bed in Miss C, as the Sc
quel will prove. For several days did
he cal and hold converse with the
Office and its very obliging operator, each
day becoming more and more interes-
ted. The subject of discourse, too, was
materially changed, insomuch that the
Albany operator began to feel in rather
peculiar perdicament," he being sort
of medium through which twolovers we've
holding communication. To be brief,
the novice continued to call for the space
of two weeks, each day growing more in
terested, until at last he put the question,
direct and plump: Will you marry
me ?'' The telegraph never hesitates
it is a fast institution and those who are
connected with it become " fast, as if
by intuition. The lady consented, and
the no ice, a few days after, went To-,
claimed his briae aud was married. The
parties are now residents of this city.

praised for his faults, because, in crili.
cising acknowledged genius, men thiS it

SANTA ANNA.

What singular life has been that of
Santa Anna, the President of Mexico, and
how strange the mutability of fortune
that has attended him His career for
the last thirty years may be thus briefly
sketched. He came into public life IN
1921; was deposed from the command
of Vera Cruz in 1922; in 1928 he again.
appeared as republican !; in 1880 Wheel
ed about in favor of Pedrazza, who be-
came President. At the next election he
became President, himself, defeated
Arista and D'Arran. andheld his seat un-
til 1885, when an insurrection headed bv
Zacatecas broke out against him. Hav.
ing quelled this outbreak, he proclaimed
himself dictator. and large number Of
those who rebelled against the usurpa-
ton, went to Texas and proclaimed q
new government. A war ensued and he
was defeated and taken prisoner, but
soon released, and in 1885 he lost his
leg while defending Vera Cruz against
the French. In 1871 he was again
President, but in 1845 the wheel turned
and ne again went to the bottom.
In l846, during the war with the Uni
ted States, he headed the Mexican troou.
and was defeated. Shortly afterwards
he was again obliged to abdicate, but
was again brought back to the Presiden-
tlal Chair, which he soon changed into
the seat ofan Emperor. This in turn he
was obliged to leave, and he is now once
more on his way to Havana, to remain
