AN AMoRoUs ERoNAUT.-A late French
journal relates the following story, which
it will be seen, is French all over, beside
being immensely funny:
While Mons. GODDARD was filing an i'm
mense ballon in the Camp de Mars, he anu
sed the spectators by sending up the small
figure of man the perfect resemblance of
MIR. Theirs without his spectacles. The
little man being filled with gas, rose ma
jestical.y into the air and was soon lost to
view among the clouds, His adventures,
which became known the next day were
curious. Thanks to strong and favor
ing gale which impelled him on his course
the little balloon-man arrived the same af-
ternoon in the sight of fine country house
in the neighborhood of Bievro. 1t was
near the hour Of dinner, and the lady Of
mansion, who naturally thought herself
perfectly safe, was occupied in the myste-
ries Of her toll. 1t was warm day, and
she had opened one Of the windows which
looked out upon the park and was safe
from any prying eyes. While TRANQUILITY
engaged, by the assistance of corsetlacing
in reducing her waist to size and shape
that would reflect credit on her husbands
taste, she was suddenly startled by STANCE
noise, and Immediately the easement was
thrown open and our little baloonman en-
tered her chamber unannounced. The Ia.
dy utters a cry of terror, and throws
shawl over her shoulders. The little man
driven by the wind, throws himself upon
the unhappy woman, who screaming loud
er than ever pushes him off and he con-
ceals himself under the bed
just as the wife in supplicating voice,
says to this novel Dou Juan: Ah, Mon
sieur 60 away, or You will ruin me, the
husband furiously rushed in, crying All!
the wretch, | have him now; and goes in
search Of his sword to run him through tho
body.
The wife, more dead than alive, reitera-
ted, in the midst of sobs; fly! fly! Mon
sieur, and save me the sight of dreadfnl
tragedy.
The husband arrives, armed to the teeth
followed by the whole household, who
seek to molify his anger. =
While two Of his friends hold the hus-
banl third stopping down, perceive our
little friend.
Refusing Voluntarily to leave his hiding
place, he is seized by his heavy boots and
brought to light, when he instantly resum.
ed an erect position. and made series of
l,dicrous semi-drunken bows to the infuri-
atea husband, which dispelled the illusion.
convulse the searching party with Laughter
and much relieved the distressed vie.

HORRIBLE DREAM.-We once heard a very
laughable joke which a hen-pecled hus-
band got upon his Mrs. Caudlc. He had
borne her railing for many long year,
till one morning she was clustering away
about the wood, short Of potatoes, -four,
&C., he remarked very pathericaly:
'Jerush, [ had dream last night, q very
queer one, and give me some uneasincss.
| dreamed that | was taken sick and
died.
well if it was no more than that, said
Jeruch, 4 wish it had been more than a
dream
But this is not all, said the husband.-
L went to hell, and when | got there, |
enquired for one OF the old devil himself,
and was shown into his presence. The
old follow recognized me at once, land said
he to me have you came here to stay p
told him hal. We'll l con't have You
here!' said he for if you stay, when Je-
rush dies she'll come, and then he'll will be
in an uptoat all tie ime + ,
Soonsafter the completion of the mar
rative of the dream the came a shower of
culinary utensils aoout the poor f,llow's
head, which made him obliged to sesEz
quarters elsewhere till his Jczebel's wrath
had snbsided.

Storming of the Malikeff Redoubt.

Describing the recent stOrming of a Ru-
sian redoubt by the French. The London
Times says, editorially:
1t appeIrs by the last accounts, that
the purpose of the allied Generals is still
fixed on the prosecution of the seige by
means OF bombardment, followed by an
assault
Two experimental attacks have been
made by the French in two different ways
which served to show that it is not easy 10
gain az advantage over our indeiatigable
antagonist. 1t appears from both the Ru-
tSians and French reports, that in the night
OF the 2lst of February, the Russians sue
ceeded In throwing up on the right banl,
OF the cPrsening harbor.
! w ltEln lorty-eight hours ten. Uan-
robert resolved to force the new position
and the attack was maze. before thi, work
had been completed. \ large boiv of
French troops, under General Monet, ad-
vanced in the night of the 23d, against
redoubt. The Zonaves rushed upon the
entrenchment with the utmost bravery and
a sanSuinary contest enSued, which cost
nearly oOO OF these admirable soldies.
The Russian infantry regiments of Sc
ling and Folhynia, under Gen. Kronstc-
hoi, defended the work with great steadi-
ness; aud, after severe combat, the French
column was compelled to retreat. This
unfortunate result has been attributed to
several cause.-the disclosure by spies Of
the French plan of attack; the lire of the
kuSslan vessels in the ha Dor, and from
the surrounding forts; and a want of stead
mess on the par! Of one portion Of the as
salIantS, who are said to have left the Zou-
aYos to bear the brunt OF the engage
meat.
We are unable to dcrerlnine with GER
talnty what amount of truth there may be
IN these statements, but it is undoubtedly
true that the Russians appear to have ex-
pected the attack, and had occupied the
position with small army rathe. than
with a detachment in proportion to its
extent. On the side Of the French the
force consisted of only half brigade of
AonaEes, LOGO, strong, two battalions of
Marines, 1890, strong, and 400 Yolun-
teers, i'll all less than $3.50 men.
The Russians We're 10, 600 strong and
the unfortunate Zonayes, fell into regular
ambuscade. Nevertheless, such was the
dauntless vigor of those troops that they
stormed the redoubt and held one half Of
1t against fearful odds; when the Russians
succeeded in outflanking the column; the
Marines were separated from the Zonaves
and driven back in all directions, and the
latter We're completely surrounded ny inc
enemy.
a second time they succeeded by
sheer hand-to-hand fighting in compile
ting the capture OF the redoubt; but no
sooner la the Russian infantry fallen back
than the batteries and ships opened ter
rife fire upon tho work, an2 rendered the
it completely untenablc.: 1t was not till
then that Gen. Monet, who was twice Sc
verel y wounded, ordered q retreat, aud,
though the nigh; was disastrous from the
loss ofmany hundred lives and the failure
Of the chief object, the gallantry displayed
by the Zonavcs was such that ths repulsc
may well be ranked with their most brill
liant achievements.

THE PIERCE MEErISG-SrEEcn OF MAJ:
MERRICK.-Thc Pierce Party held a meeting
here on Tuesday night last. There were but
few present except those called, together by
the cou-t and cilizens Of the town. =,
Maj. Richard I. Mcrrick spoke in t he af-
tcrnoon and evening lengthy speech on
each occasion. lie addressed himself to the
people rs an old whig-told the Pierce party
that heheld the same opinion now as when
he advocated Gen. Scott against Gen. Pierce,
that he wished in his heart Pierce was at his
home in New Hampshire and Scott at the
head Of affairs at Washington, and tic whole
tenor of his remarks in this respect was ex-
tremcly distastcful to Pcrceites who heard
him. lie said he was a Roman Catholic and
that as such, little as he liked the Pierce par
ty, he was induced to go with it out Of oppo-
Sition to the American Party, which nc be-
licvcd to prescribe the Catholic church. lie
was honest and bold in his remarks and left
| no mistake as to his position: that hc was
no locoloco but Roman Catholic who dcs-
pissed the American Party and intended to do
all in his power to put it down. The general
impression seems that he rather injured than
helped the Pierce party. s'+F.
Levin Gale and B. Y. Biggs also spoke, but
| their speeches were Of no account to nybody.

TIE ADMINISTRATION IN BAD ODoR.-Mr
Sou,hworlh, one of the proprielors of the New

stating hsreasons for rcsigning an Office in
the Custom House, worth fifteen hundred
dollars year, from which we learn that he
prefers not to associate with the friends of
President Pierce in that city; he has great
respect for the President. but docs not believe
in the old maxim Of loving dog because you
love his master. Mr.. Southworth thinks the
Presidents won,lrously proper man, but
his friends in New York he dcsigna les with
more force than elegance, as "unlnitigatcI
