1t proves what has often been asserted, that
there Is a deal Of white-wash on the Puritan
social structure and there is a deep meaning

from the Daily Adce,tiS6r:
" The houses in Shawmut avenue are as
stately and handsome as the generality Of the

public place, would have made as good an
appearance as half the people we meet in our

BALLoONIEG.- Elliott made an ascen-
sion from Richmond on Wednesday afternoon,
accompanied by A. l.. Carrier, the scronaut,
and Miss Virginia HodgIen, of that city, a
young lady about twelve years of age The
dispatch says that the balloon, on being re
leased from the ties that bound it to the earth,
mounted perpendicularly about one thousand
feet, and getting into an eastern current.
noated gently over the city in the full view Of
thousands of spectators, and when last seen
was making bee line for eronaut's re-
treat, on the ChickahOminy. Mr.. Elliott
had the st. Louis inflated with gas from the
city works, and to all appearances had sufIi-
cient power to bear his pony and himself to the
clouds, but, on attaching the horse to the
cords, found that the gas had began to decom-
pose rapidly, and that the balloon would not
take the two up. The horse was then cut
loose, the car made fast, and Miss HOdgden
and Messrs. Elliott and Carrier taking thei,
positions in it, made one of the most beautiful
ascensiOns We ever witnessed.
