WANT OF AN ARoHITECT.-There is story on
record of an architect repudiating any connec-
ton with the building fraternity, in the case of
the late eminent and talented Mr. Alexander,
the architect of Rochester Bridge, and several
other fine buildings in the county of Kent He
was under cross examination, in special jury
cause at Maidstone, by Sergeant-afterwards
Baron-Garrow, who wished to detract from
the weight of his testimony, and who, after ask
ing what was his name, proceeded thus:
"You are builder, believer"
"No, sir; am not buder-I am an archi-
tect!p a ri
"Ah, well9 Architect or builder, builder or

"An Architect sir, prepares the plans, con-
ceives the design, draws out specification-in
short, supplies the mind. The builder is merely
the bricklayer or the carpenter, the builder in
fact is the machine--the architect the pow
er that puts the machine together, and sets it
going"
"Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect-that will do
And now, after your very ingenious distinction
without a difference, perhaps you could inform

Babeli"
And now mark the reply-which, for prompt
ness and wit, is perhaps not to be rivaled in the
whole history of rejoinder:

SINGULAR BALLOON INoIDENT.-On Friday last
man named Wilson made an ascension from
the fair grounds at Centralia, ILL.,, in balloon
belonging to Brooks, the aronaut. He descend
ed about eighteen miles distant, at the farm of q
Mr.. Harvey. After the graphing iron had been
made fast, Harvey, to amuse his children, one
boy aged about four years, and the other girl
of eight years, placed them in the basket car and
permitted them to ascend several times as high
as the rope would allow. Unexpectedly the
graphing iron slipped from the fathers hand,
and the balloon, with its precious freight, was
waited out of sight The distress of the parent
knew no bounds. The peril Oft the children he
considered imminent, for what assurance had he
that they would not be borne into some dense
forest, where they would be overtaken by hum
ger before they could be found, or perhaps de.
scend into some lake or stream and be drowned
AS soon as was possible an Extra was issued at
Centralia, and the whole neighboring country
placed on the alert to watch for the balloon and
children.
Saturday morning at day break, farmer near
New Carthage, forty three miles distant from
Mr.. Harvey's place, discovered the balloon sus-
pended in the air, attached by graphing rope,
to tree in his yard. He Immediately hauled
the balloon down, and found the youngest child
awake in the bottom of the basket, and the eld-
est carefully watching over her little brother
They had been waited about by different cur
rents of air throughout the night, and had come
to halt but little while before they were re-
ieved.
The story the girl told was that as the balloon
assembled she cried piteously to her father to pull
it down. She said she passed over town where
she saw great many people, to whom she like,
wise appealed at the top of her voice. This
place was Centralia. The balloon was seen to
pass over there, bat the people little imagined it
carried two persons in such danger. Her little
brother cried with cold, and the heroic girl took
off her apron, covered him and got him to sleep.
In handling the ropes she happened to pull one
which had the effect of bringing the balloon
down, and although not understanding the phi
losophy of the movement, she was quite content
to keep the valve open, so long as by so doing
she found she approached the earth.
The youthful aerial voyagers were in the bal
loon about thirteen hours and quarter. ltmay
easily be imagined that among the neighbors
where they landed they where the objects Of
much curiosity and interest. The girls presence
of mind and loving consideration for her broth
er, may we'll enttle her to remembrance, while
the incident itself was of such remarkable
character that we opine that it will not soon be
forgotten in that section.
The boy and girl were conveyed home as soon
as practicable, and it is needless to say were
received with outstretched arms.-St, Louis Re-
publican.

The most remarkable case of indecision we
ever heard of, was that of the man who sat up
all night because he could not decide which to
take off first his coat or his boots.

ELoPEMENT IN Hen LIFE-On Sunday q
young gentleman of our acquaintance, aged o.
bout twelve, and young lady about ten, hav.
ing read in the newspapers SO many anecdotes
of young people eloping, concluded that they
would try the experiment too, and accordingly
got into the steam cars at Jackson street, and
started for parts unknown-probably for Carroll
ton. They had not anticipated the pecunia-
ry difficulties of such an undertaking, and when
the collector came around fol his fare the young
couple were completely nonplused. The gal.
liant young gentleman requested the conductor
to call at his fathers Office, down town, the next
morning, and he certainly would get his money
The conductor objected, saying he could give
no credit in transactions of such large amounts.
The young man offered to leave his new hat in
pledge but the conductor said thepresideht and
other officers of the company, the "stoker" in
cluded, all had their own hats, and didn't want
anybody else's.
Here, we are sorry to say, the young lady,
who is quite nervous, got frightened, and began
to cry, frantically exclaiming that she wanted to
90 back to her mamma, she didn't want to run
away. The young gentleman told the conduc-
tor that he was no gentleman to frighten q
young lady in that way and persisted in his de.
termination to 60 to Carroton. The conductor
apologized, but as the young lady persisted too,
in her crying and her desire to return to her ma
ternal bosom, the youthful adventurer cooled
down and concluded to get out at the next sta
ton and walk home. sslf $3.50
They had not left the cars long ere the whole
famly--father, mother, brothers and sisters
came anxiously along in search of the runaways,
and the fair heroine was restored to her moth
er's tender care.
We omitted to say in the beginning of this
narrative, that the ''young couple" are brother
and sister. OF such is young American. D.

with the steam wagon have thus far been
unsatisfactory. 1t was hauled out upon
Front street on Saturday Afternoon, and an
attempt made to propel it, without success.
About seven o'clock P. N with the aid OF
three yoke of oxen, it proceeded to X. street,
through X street, and thence to the Central
Race Track, with an American flag stream
ing at the stern, as though the enterprise
had been triumphantly accomplished. 1t was
subsequently announced that it would be
tried yesterday, and one or more omnibuses
entered to take passengers to see the sight.
Steam was gotten up, and another attempt
made to start about twelve NJ, with equal
success with the first 1t is evident that to
insure success larger boiler must be pro-

it is proposed to purchase, therefore, the

these failures, we learn that Mr.. Whipple
