BALLOON ASCENSION AND FIGHT-
GREAT EXPENDITURE OF GAs-The as
cension which promised to make at Hud-
son on Wednesday, ended in a row, and
a fight Professor M. having short sup
ply of funds, ordered up short supply
ofgas. He got into the basket, but the
basket would not ascend. The Professor
then cut loose from the basket and I'M
dertook to go up as he did in this city,
seated an the ropes. Ho did not succeed;
not gas enough. Professor then pulled
off his coat, vest and boots, hoping less
weight would give him more buoyancy
Another failure. He then offered to pull
off his pantaloons and stockings, and go
up in the costume ola "Roman senator. ;"
This so Mortified an old lady from the ru-
raj districts that she allowed she'd faint
and call police Professor reconsidercd
the Roman senator question, and resolved
that he'd have more gas. More gas was
procured-5,00 900 feet. Appeared to make
balloon heavier. Hudson gas is made on
new principle, and can be poured from
jugs like molasses. A portion of the peo-
pie became impatient, and informed the
Professor that he was ''foo-foo." Pro-
lessor talked back. This exasperated
the crowd. Professor seeing exaspera-
ton, tainted away, and had to be carried
to the Hudson House. His agent, Mr..
Myers, then undertook to make an as
cension on his own hook. Myers also fail
ed, whereupon people informed Myers
that he too was a "foo-foo." Myers
thinking this was personal, got out off
the ropes, folded up the balloon and re-
turned to the Hudson House. At the
Hudson House the feud was renewed.
John Best allowed that Marian ''ought to
be chawed up for cat meat" Marion re-
torted, and offered to fight Best for ST.
Mr.. Best sailed in, squared for the Pro-
fessor, and 'puta shed over his eye in
about one and half minutes. Marion fell
WAS picked up and put to bed -
Thus terminated the second great
balloon ascension in Hudson 10 supply
Marion so used up the gas s.at headquar-
ters that half the city lighthad to go backto
oil lamps and tallow candles. During the
row the balloon was badly torn. Marion
is beneiactor. He has given Hudson the
first taste Of life that it has experienced
in fourteen years.

An Ignorant Constable.

An interior paper is following up q
Justice of the Peace in its vicinity with
great deal of pertinacity. Whenever
anything unusual occurs in his court, the
editor reports it at full length. The 9TH
er day a jury trial was to take place before
him, and eleven jurors had been empan-
neled, when the constable of the court
pushed forward the twelfth, a long leg
ged. slab-sided specimen of humanity,
who was addressed by his Honor with all
the familiarity of an old acquaintance.
@ Get up thar, Alecl, and let's con-
clude this case"
Aleck hesitated and looked steadily at
the Justice.
Come. come!' continued the latter
impatiently. It's no use; you can't
get off, don't go q red on excuse; so up
with youP'
AIeck. seeing it was little use to talk
hung his head and made step toward
the vacant seat among the jury, mutterlng
as he moved, The court might let fel-
Ter play his hand out, d1oyhoacV'
The court might do achat?" shouted
the Justice fiercely.
.'Why, all have to say is, promptly
returned AlecE, chat it's rather hard to
make Teller lay his hand down to set on
jury" Then, Us a "clincher," he III
CURED, with great feeling, CHOW would
your Honor Ike it %
The Justice looked serious. Calling
the constable to him, and asking a few
questions in a low tone, he addressed HIM
self directly to Aleck:
'Aleck, Jest diskiver that when the
constable served the summons pom you,
thar was q snug little game of draw go
ing on il! Beck s tavern"
"a tip-top game, your Honor said
Aleck, frightening up; chad as good a
thing as | wanted
"What did you have, Aleck,'' contin-
ued the Justice, "when you laid you hand
down to serve ON the jury
" A beautiful full your Honor"
The Justice became deeply interested
Wiping the Precipitation from his face,
and looking Aleck in the face, he con-
timed:
eDoes this ere court understand you
to say that the constable tuck you away
from good full to set on jury p
Aleck bowed in the affirmative
''And you told the constable what you
helt !"
Il did, your Honor"
''And he jerked you away from the
table, and left nobody to be on your
hand?"
Again Aleck answered in the affirma-
tive.
The court took long breath and then
resumed its questions uuder greater eX-
element than ever.
"Aleck, did y0't deal them keards that
round?"
Aleck' looked up inqulringly and re-
piled that he did
The Justice drew back, entirely over
come with the strength of Alexis ex-
cuse.
"Mr. Constable" said he, elevating him
self high in the chair, 'this ere court is
half a mind to find you for contenpt.-
By bringing this man here you have, per-
haps, broke up snug little game Of draw
and spilled first rete full. when he had
the dealing of the keards round the table !!
It's the most 'cxasperating' case ever
seed" Then, rising to his feet with a
dignified ar, he shouted, "Aleck, you're
excused Mr., Constable, give me anoth-
er juror
Aleck vamosed to continue his snug
little game Of ''draw," while another was
ushered into the jurors seat without even
a hearing.

LINES.
BY CKAS. HENRY FOSTER.

Old wood that has stood mid the tempests
rude,
Whose fbres the years have woven;
Brought by sturdy arm from some ancient
farm
And in faggots deity cloven.
In the forest dim each stalwart limb
On the tough old tree has thckened
And now by its heat, won from wind and
sleet,
Ny shivering frame is quickened.
At this Gladstone hearth | can guess the
worth
OF the blasts it has grimly weathered.
As with crackle and roar it yields the store
OF warmth it has slowly gathered
While the embers glow, my fancies 90
BY the cheering flame up-kndled
Now with sudden leap the dogs heap
In my musing the blaze had dwinded
Old books from their hooks, with searching
looks.
| bear to the lighted table
As gaze within | try to win
The fact in their cunning fable !
Now the worlds of old their lore unfold,
As converse hold with the ages;
And | hoard their bowers through the wax
ing hours,
While scanning the painted pages,
Then the Christian seers of the middle years,
When the Church had might and glory,
Weld weapons dense in the faiths defence,
Or chant some martyrs story.
Oh, the earnest word is forever heard,
From the open page that speaketh;
And the souls of men sound it back again,
And in deathless echoes it breaketh.
Old friends heaven sends, and my study ends;
Right joysome is our greeting;
In gay discourse we prove the force
Of the love in our bosoms beating.
Now-the merry shout rings cheerly out,
As the lively jest is started
Now wells the tear as we sadly hear
OF some kind soul Departed
In an alien land still friendly hand
To his last dark slumber laid him,
And the honcrs due to a heart so true
In prayerful sorrow paid him.
friendship pure will aye endure
When this masque below is ended,
And in union dear, in better sphere,
We meet with the dead assembled.
"
Old wine, divine, born of Gallia's vine,
From its cellared covert bringing,
We quaff its wealth of mirth and health
Asits genial beams it's flinging:
Now we tread the realm where falls the film
That dims this mortal vision,
And our mounting. dreams are bright with
CLEANS
From the blissful fields Elysian:
While beats the storm our souls grow warm:
Our spirits its shreks embolden,
And the song we raise in the glad gods
praise
Who brought us this blessing golden.
Prometheus gave flame but till Bacchus
came,
Men knew not the truth Of feeling,
The swift-winged thought and the wisdom
caught
From the ruddy bowls revealing.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extoling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland u Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend or neighbor,
They'll charge but moderate for their labor,
SO now / invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them a call.

saleratus I'm Bread.

Salcratus is becoming almost as necessary
with our people for the production Of bread
as flour. The wholesomcness Of its use is
questioned by Philadelphia paper, which
says:
If our Western friends can, in any way,
teach their wives, daughters, or cooks to
keep the pcnrlash out of their bread, all
the yellow people, especially the yellow
children, who are supposed to be turned vel
low by fever and ag,le. bilious fcvcrs, &C.,
will soon I've returned white. It's great
mistake to suppose that the yellow coun.
tenanecs Of the West come from b.lc,-when
it is only the enormous quantities. Of pearl.
ash eaten in the bread that is reflected
through the skin.
Bread is the staff of life,-it is said
and so it is,-but it is the staff of death, too
in this country. Bad bread kills about ms
many people hero as bad rum. So many
people here cat poisonous pcarlash for bread
that they die by inches. Dyspepsia, that great
monster disease of our country, that de
ranges the liver,-brings on costiveness
finally, what kills the human victim is hal
the time "Pcarlash"
Here, in the East--out of New Englanc
we have nearly driven off the penrlasl
solerot'ts cooks--hutnot altogether. Pearl
ash lives here yet in bread-but in the cit
les and towns we have whipped out tn
murderers. In the distant Western towns
however,-heyond the good hotels of thu
Lakes, and on the Rivers,-Pearlash, how
ever under the name of saleratus, is King
1t is pcarlash for breakfast, pcarash FOR din
nor, and pearla>h for supper. 1t is not am
wonder, then, that white people East turI
yellow West, and sickcn,--not of fever an(
ague, bilious and congestve fevers,--but o
Pearlash three times per day.
We lift our editorial leg and give MI
Pearlash, Saleratus, or by whatever othe
alias he may be known, hearty kick. H
