PROPHECY FULFILLED.

The Hon. X. VI. I. HUNTER. in speech delivered
in Petersburg, w. solne three months since, ON tue
persecution of the Catholics, said:
deprive the Catholics Of n tho offices, bar them
out from every TO political distinction deny
10 them the opportunities which you accord without
hesitation tn lni,lels aud Atheists; aud when you
have done it all, when you have placed their honest
ambition 10 enjoy the honors aud cnloumcnts OF po-
litiral preferment under the ban OF ruthless pro-
scription, your work is not yet finished.
There will still remain Offices for them. Ycs my
friends the swcc offices Of Christian love will still
be left, and in the midst Of your prosecutions their
bishops and priests, Us in the recent pestilence in
your Southern cities, will throng the hospitals aud
the pcsl.huiscs bringing succour and conso aton to
the poor victims of the plague. Aye, and their sisters
of Charity will still brave the tcrrora OF oathsnmc
and Infectious disease, will still wipe the death
damp from the suffering brow, will still venture III
when the courage of man shrinks back appalled, and
will point the dying gaze through the mysterious
gloom ofthc Valley ofthc Shadow OF Death to tue
Cross and the Cruciicd."
This prophecy has been fulfilled on the soil oi Ills
own State.

BALLOON ASCENSION On HORSEBACK.
Professor Elliott made u balloon ascen'lon, on
horseback at St. Lonis Mo-, Monday OF last week
The RpaJlicaa says:
Acrcrably to announcement. Professor Elliott mad"
his mrial voyage on horseback. The ground inside oi
the enclosure was thrunged with ladies and gentle
men, Ia witness lis pcrlIous voyuge, while outside
the numbers could only be mumcrated by thousands
There were many who thought the "horsc" would not
90 up but true the appointed tine he was harness
ed 10 the rria car and at signal, aud with Pro-
.s.or Eu,t on his back uif they went to the regions
ot air. The horse behaved himself most admirably,
md looked around aud down upon the earth apparent
" in the most perfect as"nishmen His boots never
for n moment .'cluwed the mir, but lie contented
himself by gazing, in most perfect horse wonder At The
peculiar situation of thngS Professor Elliott seemed
rs much at home upon his charger rs II he were upon
n Macadalnized road As far ~ the eye could reach,
both horse aud rider appeared to be getting along
quietly but safely.
This is the first balloon ascension on horseback, We
believe, ever attempted in America, and in the
science Of aronauts ST. Louis rks Il. the Paris OF the
continent. r
Iu.t evening, we understand that the officers Of
the steamer keystone, which arrived between eight
and nine o'clock, the balloon and the horse coIIi-
