A Nice Young MN Turns ShdrPer.-Re.
Gently young man, from parts unknown to US,
managed by some means to gain the favor and
acquaintance of respectable lady and her
daughter, residing in Centre Wheeling. He
took the ladies' to ice cream saloons, drove them
out the pike o evenings, and succeeded in rem
dering himself particularly agreeable. This
was all very well, and the young man gained
golden opinions for his cleverness. On Monday
the mother and daughter expressed their ;nten-
ton of going west. The nice young man, with
his proverbial gallantry, said he would be glad
to favor them by purchasing the tickets
Twenty-Five dollars were placed in his hands
for that purpose, The young man was to meet
them at the Metcalf House at the time ofstart-
ing. The "Here AM conveyed the ladies to
the above named house. Enquiry was made
TO young man, no tickets. Waited awhile
consulted the register of the hotel. Still no
young man. He had registered himself as
Theodore Hard, and had departed for Clevc
land, taking with him the twenty five dollars in
money, leaving in return, a wholesome expert
mental lesson for the consolation Of his duped
friends.

Bathing and S,Oimmiug-O of our Pitts
burgh exchanges calls the attention of the au-
t,oiities to the Importance ofprovidiag mems for
the necessary and healthful exercise of bathing,
IN the Invaluable art of swimming. 1t says
truly, (and we are similarly situated fere,) that
neither Of these luxuries can be INDUCED with
out exposure to observation or to breach OF
the city ordinances 1t also revcrts to the fact,
that the manly and preserving art of swimming
is year by year becoming more rare among our
people. Every few days brings to light cases
of death by drowning. In great majority of
clses these deaths occur from inability to
swim. 1t is an inability of which every civil
ed man or boy or lady ought to be ashamed.
Every one who can learn to walk can learn to
swim, and its Importance in the preservation
of life is some time or other experienced in the
life of almost every one Hence the necessity
ofprepnration for such an emergency.
In most barbarous countries infants are taught
this art as invariably and naturally as they arc
to walk. We are apt to have longings to fly
everybody who dreams, dreams of flying, bat
who can say after all if he had wings how many
void learn to use shem? We are supplied with
the facilities for learning to swim, aud can find
as much healthy aud luxurious exercise in the
aqueous as in the aerial element We should
like to see some action taken here in matter
so universally acknowledged To favor health and
preserve life.

RESULT OF BALLOON RACE.
Professor Steiner, the American Ero.
naut, Victorious-A Collision between
the Balloons in I he Air.-Return OF the
EIonauts to the City.

The great "Balloon Race" is over, and
Young America, represented by Professor
J. II. Steiner, is the victor! He has proved
himself the Champion Eronaut of America,
and match for the most skifu and daring
French Professors.
| THE sTARTING-THE CHAsE-EyCITING INCL
DENTS.
The balloons started from the city lot at
O'Clock & twenty-one minutes. Professor
Steiner leading of in his "Pride of the
West" followed closely by Mons. GODDARD
in his "Leviathan The latter gained
r,ipidly upon its rival for the first mile or
two from town, until the Eronauts were
within speaking distance when less than
three miles of the city, both moving obour
twenty-five miles an hour. Mons. GODDARD
sailed up majesti,aliy beside the Professor,
when the latter greeted his rival with a vel
come, and pointed to the beautiful sight
which every yvhere met the eye. 'Masnii-
cent" responded the representative o..
France.
Mr.. GODDARD here introduced his friend and
passenger, MIR. VIM. Hoel, to Prof. Steiner,
and at the same time proposed that they
should toke friendly drink Both Eronauts
opened 4 bottle Of wine, when Mr.. GODDARD
proposed the toast
"1o The Great RepabIic."
This was drank with will in sparkling
Cataw ba, when Prof. Steiner gave the fol-
lowing:
'To Mons Godard-the justly celebrated
French Eronaut."
The compliment was returned by Mons.
Goddard
"To Prof. Steiner---lhe greatest .Eronaut
IN America"
Mons GODDARD drank bottom up" and
his companion followed suit, and then,
after filing their glas ses, Mr.. Hoel gave
toast
"Here's to our sweet-hearts aud wives"
Three cheers for that shouted Prof.
Steiner, as the balloons were coming near
ly together, and the three joined heartily in
'hip-hip-hurra'
THE COLLISION BETWEEN THE BALLOONS.
Scarcely five minutes ait er, the balloons
came in collision, at au elevation of some
5000 feet from. the earth, The balloon of
Prof. Steiner drove rapidly towards its rival
so that the basket of the latter struck the
former about midway of the balloon. Mons.
GODDARD aud his companion promptly forced
it Off with their hands, and Prof. Steiner
shouted to Mons. GODDARD to throw out bal
last, which he did, and rapidly rose above
the Pride Of the West and out of danger Of
any further contact.
The Eronauts were not again within
speaking distance during the race. Steiner
started ahead at an elevation of about 5000
feet, and gradually gained upon his com.
petiior, He found a strong current OF air,
and taking advantage of Il by keeping at
about the same elevation. made rapid pro-

The Execution of Mary Stuart.

The seventh volume of the aLives Of the
Qusens Of Scotland" by Agnes Srick-
land, has just been published. The ac-
complished authorsss brings her narrative
down to the close of the life Of Queen
Mary. The circumstances attending the
last scene in the life oi Mery Stuart have
often been described bot never more vivid
ly than by Miss STR, klsnd. who writes:
At 6 o'clock on the fatal morning Of the
9Th of February, Mary Stuart told her ladies'
"sh. had but two hours to live, and bid
them dress her as for festival" Very
minute particulars of that last toilette have
been preserved, both by French and En-
glish historians. and Contemporary MS.
in the Vatican contains description of it
from the pen of an eyewitness of her
death. 1t is there stated that she wore a
widows dress ! black velvet, but spangled
all over wi; I'D, black satin purpoint
and kirtle. q, ndpr these petticoat of

color. and OF the most delicate
texture, of the. esh n worn BY princesses

and descending to the ground; also, which
is not mentioned in any other account, that
she had caused camisole Of fine Scotch
plaid, reaching from the thrust u the
waist, but. without collar, to be prepared
the night before, that when her upper gar
ments should be removed, she might .cape
the distress Of appearing uncovered before
90 many people.
While her ladies were assisting her to
dress, she, with the feminine delicacy Of 9
really Oldest woman, earnestly entreated
them to be watchfal over her in the last
terrible moment, when, observed she, 81

body, OF bestowing ary care upon it. Oh,
then. for the love Of the blessed Savior
abandon me not while under the hands ol

streaming eyes, to be near her and to cover
her body as she fell.
Then she ordered her orntory alone, snt

country-witness the Eafl OF Shrewsbury
and bis wife,"
Before Mary proceeded further in her
preparations for the blIck, she took last
farewell OF her weeping ladies', kissing,
embracing, and blessing them. by signing
them with the cross, which benedicton
they received on their knees. ett
Her upper garments being removed, she
remained in her peiiicoat of crimson velvet
and csmizole, which laced behind, and COW
cred her arms with a pair of crimson velvet
sleeves. Jane Kennedy now drew from her
pocket the gold-bordered handkerchief
Mary had given her to bind here eyes,
Within this she placed "Corpus Christi
CLOTH" probably tie same in which the
consecra.ed wafer sent TO her by the Pope
had been enreloped. Jane folded It corner
wise, kissed it, and with trembling hands
prepared to execute this last office; but she
and her companion burst into fresh par
oxysm Of hysterical sobbing and crying.
Mary placed her finger on her lips reprov-
ingly.. "Hush," said she, Il have promised
for you; weep not but pray for me. . = When
they had pinned the handkerchief over the
face of their beloved mistress, they were
compelled to withdraw from the scaffoid;
and "she was left alone to close up the
tragedy of life by herself. which she did
with her wonted courage and devotion'-
Kneeling on the cushion, she repeated in
her usual clear, firm voice. "ln te Domino
speravi." "In thee, Lord, have hopec;
let me never be prtto confnsion.' Being
then guided BY the executioners to find the
block, she bowed her head upon it intrepid
ly, exc'aiming, as she did so, .sIn manus
tuas. Into Thy hands, o Lord, commend
my spirit" The Earl of Shrewsbury raised
his baton, in performance OF his duty as
earl marshal. to give the signal for the coup
de-grdce, but he averted his head at the same
time, and covered his face with his hand 10
conceal his agitation and streaming tears
A momeDtary pause ensued, for the execu-
toners assistant perceived that the Queen,
grasping the block firmly with both hands,
was resting her chin upon them, and that
they must have been cut eff or msnsled if
he had not removed them, which he die by
drawing them down and holding them tight
ly in his own, while his companion struck
her with the ak a cruel but Intellectual blow
Asitated alike by the courage of the royal
victim, and the sobs and groans of the
sympathiziDg spectators, he missed his aim
and inflicted deep wound on the side of the
skull. Size neither screamed nor stirred.
but her suferings were too sadly testified
by the CONFUSION Of her features, when,
after the third blow, the butcher work was
accomplished, and The severed head, stream
ing with blood, was held up to the gaze of
the people. "God save Queen Elizabethr'
cried the executioner. $50 let all her
enemies persist" exclsimed the Dean of
Peterborough-one solitary voice alone re-
sponded .'AmenI" It was that of the Earl OF
Kent. The silence, the tears, and groans
of the witnesses of the tragedy, yea, even
of the very assistants in it, proclaimed the
feelings with which It had been regarded.
