GRAND BALLOON ASCENSION. As seen by
the advertisement in another column, Mr.. James
Allen, the New England eronaut, will ascend

Mr.. Allen win be assisted in his preparations by
the famous eronaut Mr., S. A. King of Phila-
delpha. The price Of tickets for admission to
the pavilion will be 25 cents, which trifing sum,
it is hoped, enough will pay to enable the enter
prising eronaut to receive some remuneration for
his pains, besides defraying the heavy expenses
necessarily incurred.

ALUMNI ANSIvERsARY AT CAMBRIDGE "A
business meeting Of the Alumni was held at Gore
Hall, at ten O'Clock, Thursday, at which the old
board Of officers was reelected, as follows =
President-Hon. ROBERT c. WINTHROP.

At eleven o'clock, procession was formed,
and the Alumni, in the inverse order of their
dates, accompanied by specially invited guests,
and preceded BY the Boston Brigade Band, pro-
eeeded through the College grounds to the
First Unitarian Church, where the Grafton was
delivered BY Hon. Edward Everett. Among the
distinguished persons upon the platform, we no

cradle Josiah Quincy, senior, Charles Francis
Adams, and others. The gallery of the church
was reserved for the ladies, which they filed to
overlooking, at an early hour Of the day.
Al hah-past eleven O'Clock, after prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Mason Of Boston, of the class of 1882,
the orator OF the day, Mr.. Everett, was intro
duced, being received with the most enthusiastic
and long-continued applause. After it had sub.

The Grafton occupied nearly two hours in the
delivery, and was frequently interrupted with APP
plause at its more brilliant periods, and at its
close, which was at about half-past one O'Clock,
there was perfect tempest of plaudits which
lasted for several minutes.
After a benediction had been pronounced by
Rev. Mr. Mason, the company separated, scat
tering promiscuously about the College grounds,
a large number congregating in Gore Hall, and
enjoying pleasant, social time, preparatory to
forming in procession for the dinner table in
Harvard Hall. The procession took up its line

subsequent thereto.

SOUTHERN MEMBERS SPECIALIZING IN WEST
BRN LANDs.--iWe published some days ago an
article from Chicago paper, giving a list of
Southern government officials engaged in
Western land speculations Gree States). be-
ginning with Vice President Breckenridge.
We publish this morning, letter from st.
Paul, Minnesota, from which we learn that
Mr.. Aiken and Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina.
and quite zumber Of other Southern mem
bers Of Congress, are investing pretty largely
in the lands and town lots of the flourishing
Territory of Minnesota. soon to be free
State, and with winter climate which would
kill niger under any covering less than
three overcoats. Let the Southern ultras
look to this business. There may be treason
to the South in it. Who knows?
Per contra, we are informed that Senator
Bigler, of Pennsylvania, has been on to Kan
zas prospecting; but that instead of buying
lands there he has been making extensive
purchases in the border counties Of Missouri.
Gets them cheaper there, no doubt than
in KaDzas, and buys, perhaps, under the idea
that Missouri will next turn up free State.
No wonder, however, that negro slavery has
failed in Kanzas when slaveholding South

Mr.. MARcY.-The New York Mirror re-
fers to the general praise that is awarded to
Gov. Marcy, and thinks that his political OPP
ponents might have discovered his virtues be-
fore he died. As we belong to the class Of
his opponents who made that discovery long
before he died, and who fastened to recognize
in him, as we hope we shall never lack the
candor to recognize in any man, the transit
ton from the partizan to the statesman, the
remark does not apply to us. We think, in
deed, that for the last four years Gov. Marcy
has received more praise from the opponents
than from the friends of the administration,
which he redeemed from utter contempt. AT
one time he had determined to resign, be-
cause he could not give his assent to much
for which his fellow citizens held him respon-
sible. But the President yielded partly to
the Secretary, and good and wise men, partic-
ularly among Gov. Marcy's friends in New
| York, urged him to remain in the place
| where he was of so much use to the country.
1t was well known that he was opposed to the
fillibustering and slavery policy that entered
so largely into the cabinet, and that, while he
was the author of those things that did most
credit to the administration of Gen. Pierce. he
opposed those which brought most upon it
the condemnation of the country, and of the
world.
1t was charged upon Gov. Marcy, by Dem
ocratic papers, soon after his retirement from
office, that he was preparing to join the Re-
publican party, and, indeed, there was good
reason to suppose that, on some of the most
important questions before the country, he
agreed rather with the Republicans than with
the Democrats. 1t is said that his last letter
was written to John NJ. Bolts, but it is moi
stated whether the subject was political OF
not Providence Journal.

Gov. GARDNER AND HIS LATE ORaAN.-
Covert thrusts at Governor Gardner have re-
peatedly appeared in the editorial columns of

as an open attack been made. The Bee in a

FRUGALITY AMONG THE NEGRoEs.-In the
foundry of Gaty, Mcclure, s. Co., at st. Lou
is, among its two hundred and seventy oper-
stives are two negroes, who began life at the
establishment'in l849 as slaves. BY dint Of
unAagging industry, in due course of time,
one of them bought himself, wife, and five
children, paying for himself $l4O0 and on
an average tor wife and children $500 each.
This negro is now supposed TO be worth in
his own right more than $4,000 in real estate
in that city. Another negro entering the
factory about the same time, amassed suffi-
Gent money, by his attention to duty, 10 pur-
chase himself at the price of $500, his wife
at $500, and four children at $500 each, and
is now worth $4,000 in real estate. These
negroes were bought from their masters by
Mr.. Gray, with the understanding that they
should work themselves free, and out of his
own pockets he gave 2 per cent interest on
the deferred payments. The children of both
are now receiving All excellent education at

ORANGE PEEL.-The especial attention of
parents and others is called to the following
facts -
A little son of Robert Oliver, Of New York,
about five years of age, is now lying in very
critical condition from the effects of eating
orange peel. Parents cannot be too cautious
in keeping orange peel from their children, as
it contains an active poisonous oil, which IN
many instances has caused the death of per-
sons who indiscreetly made use of them.--
Life is jeopardized every time the rind is ia
ken into the stomach.

We place before our readers the following
"clippingp from the american Mining Chroai-
Gle Iron Manufacturers, and Rail,oay Journal,
of the 4th iust:- -
HOOP IRoN.-Hoop iron is perhaps the yari-
ETY. of manufactured iron Of which the home pro-
duction comes nearest to supplying the entire
home demand. The English hoop, though nom
inally little cheaper, has not been able to hold
its ground against the home article, aud the
importation for the whole country, which in 1852
had fallen off to 1921 534, it is expected will not
reach 5000 900 for the year ending June Both
an amount not equal to that turned out by three
of our home establishments. One Of these, the
Quinsigamond Iron Works, owned by Messrs
Charles Washburn Son, at Worcester, Mass,
deserves particular mention for the smoothness
and finish, as well as the very excellent quality
of the hoop manufactured. Every piece guages
as thin as No %, (Stubb's guage) at the thicker
end, which is not the case with any English iron
imported, and makes it 90 much farther in
working up INTO hoops. Quinsigamond iron is
warranted to make as many hoops to the bundle
| as any other hoop iron in the market
Besides hoop iron, these works alone turn out
about 1900 tons of wire rods and 100 tons of all
| kinds of bright and annealed wire, which enjoy a
first tate reputation in the market"
We are pleased to see that our friends Of the
Quinsigamond Iron and Wire Works have been
able to bring the manufacture of fine hoop iron to
SO high degree of perfection.

I" 1 found Curtis hard at work, this forenoon, in
his publishing house. He makes as clever bust
ness man as he is writer, which to our practical
American people is the best thing that could be
said OF him. He is now the active working editor
of Putnam, and of the other publications of his
firm, Messrs. Miller & Curtis, and works early,
and late, and effectively. Very few tour literary
folks are so well entitled, as Curtis is, to the
praise which Mr. Sparkle, in Little Dorritt, was
wont to beatow upon his fayorites. Mr. Curtis has
lately finished new literary address upon the
Higher Law and the Relations of the Scholar
thereto, which he is to give this month, first at
Union College, next at Dartmouth, and last be-
fore the Normal School Association at Westfeld,
in your State. 1t is somewhat in the vein of his
address before the literary societies of the college
at Middletown, VT, last year, and will attract
public attention.
