A Mr.. Lowe has nearly completed in the
city of New York a mammoth balloon, by Ea1
the largest ever constructed with which he pro
poses starting on Il voyage TO Europe the lat
ter part of October. Mr.. La Mountain, who
accompanied Wise in his trip east from st.
Louis on the LIST of July last, has also been
preparing for a trip across the Atlantic, at
Watcrtown, New York but it is not proba-
BILE he will ever make the attempt, as he ascer-
ded from that place for the purpose of making
an experimental excursion, on Thursday of last
week, in company with a man named Haddoek,
and though a week has elapsed since their de-
parture, nothing has been heard of the nro-
east, across the lower part of Lake Ontario.
The Democracy outside of Ohio mafilfests, to
use the language of the Washington States, 'an
inordinate solicitude = for the success of their
party in this State at the coming election
This solicitude is accounted for by the import
ant influence the result will have upon the
approaching Presidential election, and the
fact that the Legislature about to be chosen
will elect a successor of Geo. Z. Pugh ; a mat
ter in which the party in all sections feels a
deep interest, for such Senators as Mr.. Pugh
Northern men representing a Southern con-
stituency) are getting scarce, and his success
in their estimation is a matter of vital impor-
tance. The " States = says it would 9 deplore
the defeat of Pugh," and continues d" We
can entertain no serious fears, however, when
VIC contemplate the almost superhuanaa ercr-
tons of the gallant spirits who are fighting
under our banner" That "superhuman eE
forts " are being made to secure a Legislature
that will ~re-elect Pugh is manifestly true-but
they will not be ucccssful-neither that gen
tIeman or any one of his iIk will succeed.
The distinguished Democratic gentlemen
who addressed the faithful at Wooster last
week proved themselves to be adopts at play
ing the game known as " tickle me, Billy, and
I'll tickle you" Douglas spoke of Judge
Ranney as " the next Democratic Governor
of Ohio and of Pugh as " the gentleman who
destined to be Senator of Ohio for the next
six years p" and Pugh insisted upon giving
precedence in the order of speaking to Doug
" the man who was to be next President
Of the United States" This is a very nice
programme the worthy trio have fixed up for
lhemselves-the only trouble there will be in
it out is the determination on the
part of the people that neither of them shall
attain the position 10 which he aspiros.

nsh- The following poem from the San
Francisco Golden Era, is not only Home,
cic in style, but com plete in itself, for it
ends in the total annihilatiou Of the com.
batants:
"On a pine wood shed, in an alley dark,
were scattered moonbeams, sitting through
a row Of tottering chimmeys and an avn
ing torn and dropping, fell, strobe back
and forth, with tense.drawn muscle aud
peculiar tread, a cat.
His name was Norvn'; on yonder neigh
boring shed his father Tough. the cats tha.
came in squads irom streets beyond Di-
pont, in search OF food and strange ad-
7enture.
Grim war he courted AMI twisted tail,
and spine upheaving in fantastic carv".
and claws distended and ears fatty pressed
against head thrown back dena.,,y, tod
of independent strife.
With eyes agleam, and scfeechin
blast of war, and steps as silent rs tie
falling dew, young Norval crept along tie
~pinrered edge and gazed moment ,hrg'
the darkness down, with tail wave tn
umphantly.
Then with an irnprecation and grow
perhaps an oah in direst vengs.nee
hissed--he started back, and crooked in
body like letter S, or rather lie L iu~
verted, stood in fierce expectancy.
Twas well. With eye balls glarng and
ears all aslsnt, and open month, in whieh
two rows Of faags stood forth in sharp and
dread conformity, slow tip post from ous

\ dreadful tocsin of eternal strifeyoung
Norval uttered; then, with face unb,aach.
ed, and mors.ache standing straight be-
fore his nose, and ta'l flung wildly to the
passing breeze, stepped with incautious
invitations to The fee.
Approaching the other, ani, with nre.
para,ions dire, each cat surveyed the ran-
tage ofihe field. Around they walked.
with tails up!ifted and backs high il the

Kissing with consuming rage, dropped

Thrice around the roof they went in cir,

Of passing wagons rose the dreadful tu-
mult of the struggling cats. So cleaned
their eyes in frenzy, that to me, who SOW
