The Grea, balloon.

From the N. Y. Com. Adv. Oct 81.
Prof I. =. q. Lowe commenced this
morning to initiate his great balloon, "The
City of New York." and the reservoir
grounds, where the process is going on,
were opened for exhibition. Everything
is upon the ground, and the curious can
now see the machine with all the appur-
tenances.
The Professor feels sangnine Of sue
cess, but his visitors entertain various
opinions thereon. The balloon, not hay
ing much gas in this morning, did not
show its prodigious proportions to great
advantage, but enough was TO be seen TO
give the visitors an idea Of what it was
intended to be. The metallic life-boat
was brought up this morning, and at
tracted much attention. 1t is nothing
more than an ordinary boat Of Francis
pattern, having small shaft in the bow
on which to attach the propeller.
The calorc engine is already fired up
and putting away vigorously. This is IN
tended to operate the propeller. The
lime stove is an object of much curiosity,
This is nothing more than an ordinary
Tin kettle, having another kettle about
about half as deep fitting inside. Into
this small kettle is fitted another about
half as large, and the whole is covered
close. The coffee is placed in the first or
largest keetle; the lime in the next small
est, and the potatoes, or whatever is to
be baked, is put in the smallest KETTLE
The heat is then produced by the slak-
ing of the lime, and the cooking process
goes on admirably. Apples can be baked
in two minutes and coffee served up hot
all the time.
1t is estimated that it will require
about ten days to GIL the balloon and pre-
pare to start for Europe.

WoNDERFUL Musical INvESTIoNs.-
The Messrs. Kaufman, father and son, Of
Dresden, celebrated throughout Europe
for their knowledge Of acoustics, and their
skill as inventors and makers Of musical
instruments, have lately made several
very important inventions. One machine,
called the Orchestrion," initiates the
music of an orchestra composed of clari-
onets, flutes, trumpets aud horns. The
music of tho Orchesirion is said TO be su-
perior to that Of an orchestra representing
the same instruments. The automatic
trumpet produces double notes on one in
strument with the same effect as skill.
ful human trumpeter does. The Chordo-
lodion, another instrument BY the same
inventors, produces music similar to that
of pianos and flutes, and the Symptom
on initiates concert Of piano, clarionets,
flutes, triangles, cymbals, and kettle
drums. He who hears these instruments
can scarcely free himself from the imagi-
nation that the music is made by human
hidden musicians. The Chordolodion
permits the most delicate changes from
crescendo to decrescendo, while the Sym
phonion may be made to execute as tho
the music were the inspiration Of the mo-
ment, the mere capricious play Of a thor
oughly trained artist.

The "OLD DoMINIoN."-Virginia,- du-
ring the usurpation of Cromwell, declared
herself independent Of his authority,
when the usurper threatened to send
fleet to reduce the Colony. Fearing to
withstand such force, the colonists des-
patched a messenger to Charles II-then
an exile in Flanders--inviting the royal
outcast to be their King. He accepted
the invitation, and on the very eve of en-
barking for his throne in America, was
recalled to the crown of England. In
gratitude for Virginia loyalty, he quarter
ed her coat Of arms with those of Eng
land, Scotland, and Ireland, as an indie
pendent member Of the British empire.
The coin establish these facts. Hence
the origin of the phrase "Old Domin-
ion."

OLD BRowN's PIKEs.-It seems that
the pixies which old Brown had with him
to put into the hands of the slaves for
the purpose of hacking out the people of
Virginia were originally prepared to aid
the black republican cause in Kansas
The disturbances there, however, termin-
ated before they could be used, and they
were consequently taken TO Virginia, old
Brown very naturally supposing that they
would do the party cause as much good
there as in Kansas. They were manufac-
tured by Charles Blair, of Collinsville,
Conn.,, some of whose letters were found
among Browns effects, and of whom the
Hartford Post gives the following ac-
count:
"He is workman in the Collinsville
Axe Company, employing the men under
him, and taking what contracts he pleases.
Some time in 1856 or 1857 old Brown
came to Colinsville and contracted for n
thousand pixies to be used in Kansas
Five hundred were finished for him at the
time, and the other five hundred were
left in the hands of the contractor. Last
June old Brown again made his appear
ance in Collinsvile, and requested Mr..
Blair TO finish up the remainder of the
pixies. Blair asked him to what use he
intended to put them, now that the Kan
sas disturbances were over! To this
question Brown gave an evasive reply
The finishing of the contract was given to
Mr.. Hart, of Unionville."

MRs. OvIEDo.-The woman of "proper-
ty and standing" (Oviedo's wife), or at
least of jewels and self-consequence, crc-
ated great sensation on the morning ex-
press train from Boston to this city, on
Saturday week. Ungloving her ringed
fingers, she missed seventy dollar dia-
mond ring. Fancying she saw it fall up
on the floor, the whole car load Of people
were routed in the search for the "pre-
cious stone" but without revealing its
whereabouts. Suspicious Of "foul play"
was increasing, and pockets were to be
turned inside out, when it was suggested
that the ring might be in her glove, where,
sure enough, 1t was found, but rings and
lacss still insisted that it did fall upon the
