occur, arould intrudeupon our meditations. The
parting of a seam, the breaking Of q thread of
the fairy like network, might afford us prac-
teal Illustration of our most horrible dreams of
tumbling from high places. ..... =,. .....-....
Discharging a bag of ballast. we here rose to
the height Of about six thousand feet, and sailed
away towards Carrollton clouds began to gath
er around us, and the air became white with
snow, but we remarked that the temperature of
the atmosphere was not uncomfortably low.
Our flight in this direction would soon have ta-
ken us across the Mississippi and into the in
terminable swamps beyond. Not caring to re
peat his former experience of this sort, M. Go
dard pulled the valve string, and in d few mo-
ments we landed easily and safely in an open
common, just above Bouigny. A crowd of all
sorts of people assisted in holding us down when
we reached the Garth, and after discharging our
gas and packing mp our balloon, we accompa-
neid Mr.. Charles Mr.. Chapotin and Mr.. Jules
Buisson to the dwelling of the former, where we
were entertained in the most kind and hospita-
bic manner. N.. ..,.
For companions upon this most interesting
excursion we had, besides M. GODDARD, Mr. Hop
kins, of the Delta, and Mr.. John MeClelland,
Deputy Street Commissioner, who we suppose
went up mainly for the purpose of improving
his acquaintance with the geography Of New
Orleans

the officer, " you have left them all behind. Can

\ Of course net--only for three years. Take
courage they will soon pass away, and then"
"Three years for an innocent word " whined
Frogere, and began again to cry and complain.
But at this moment the soldier entered, and,
bandaging his eyes, they lifted him into the We
'hicle, and away it rolled again. *
1t seemed Il very long stage, -Frogerc calcn-
lated that he had travelled whole day. when
the vehicle again stopped. AS before, he was
bandaged and led into a wretched hut, a coun-
terpart Of the first, and lighted by piece of
blazing pine wood The same coarse food was
again placed before him. He looked at the
faces around him. None that he knew---none
that inspired him with comfort Alters several
similar journeys, the vehicle again stopped. BY
Frogere'sf estimate, as well as he could tell, he
had treveled three nights. His eyes were ban
daged as before but instead Of being led, his
guides seized him, and carried him for some
time; until they placed him upon wooden
bench. He waited for a few moments, and won
dered why the bnndage was not removed AT
last he heard soft whispering, and then quick
steps approaching. His hands were suddenly
seized and tied behind his back. He trembling
ly ask what it meant; but received no reply
In another moment his coat was torn off his
shoulders ard his breast laid bare. Frogere
now thought that eternity, instead of Siberia
was to be the goal of his journey.
"Take aim !" was the command of one whose
voice he thought he knew" Fire Y and sever
al shots were at once discharged. Forgcre fell
senseless to the ground. He was raised un-
wounded, and while he was borne along he be-
came sensible of division of soldiers marching
past him. Having been placed upon q chair,
his hands were unbound, and the bandnge re-
moved. He then found himself in the room,
where that unhappy bon, mot had escaped him.
Opposite to him sat the Emperor. The aston
ishment terror and doubt. which alternately re-
feeted in the poor actors face, so greatly excl
ted the risble faculties of Paul that the entire
company Joined heartily in the mirth. Frogcre
fell in swoon. The whole terrible trip had
only lasted twenty-four hours
The Emperor had accompanied him in dis
guise all the time, and found immense delight
in the prisoners painful suflerings. Though
used to comedies, it was long before the actor
recovered fromthe sad alarm Of the imperial
| farce.
