AFFECTING SoENE.-At the close of the late
trial of Stephens in New York, for the murder
of his wife, after the verdict Of guilty had been
rendered, and the jurors retired, the spectators
dispersed, the sheriff with his deputies approach
ed the prisoner. His little daughter, Bella,
about six years DID, turned towards Stephens,
and after kissing him, said "Come, pa / let us
go now, it is all over, see, pal the people are
going" Human nature, says the New York
Express. could not stand this-she sheriff turn
ed away to hide tear, aud retired, leaving the
prisoner alone with his relatives and counsel.
Pocket handkerehiefs were drawn out by many
present, and the attempts of the male portion of
the audience, to stop the outlet Of the hearts
fountain. were Of no avail. Such an affecting
scene has rarely been witnessed.

#RIAL VOYAGE.

Science has achieved another triumph. A
Mr.. Hyde, of st. Louis, No., has made voyage
in balloon from tina; city to New York. The
following is the account of the trip received by
the overland mail: H
ST. LOUIS, July 2.--On yesterday afternoon,
July lst, according to previous announcement,
the first grand experimental @rial voyage took
place from Washington Square. The great
aerial ship was named Atlantic, the name being
painted upon the side in large letters AT
quarter TO o'clock, Messrs Wise, eager, La
mountain and Hyde took their positions, the
three latter in the boat, aud the former in the
willow car. 1t was not announced that any
but the first mentioned three would go up in
the balloon, but those gentlemen had promised
Mr.. Hyde, the reporter of the Republican, that,
if circumstances would permit, he should be
privileged to make the trip in their company.
Finding that the buoyant capacity was SUM-
cient, Mr.. Hyde was Informed he was at liberty
to make the trip. The party was plentifully
supplied with water, provisions, and plenty OF
warm clothing Mr.. Hyde took quite num-
ber of copies Of the Anzeiger, the Republican
aud the Democrat, which he intended to distrib-
ute along the road.
Not less than $4,000 people congregated in
the vicinity of Washington Square yesterday
to witness the grand adventure. Mr.. Brooks
also ascended in his own balloon. He cut short
from his moorngs about ten minutes before the
others. and shot into the air at the rate OF
hundred miles an hour. Both balloons took
northeasterly course.
CfNoINNATI, July 2-The balloon passed six
miles north of Fort Wayne at O'Clock this
morning The small balloon was seen at the
same time q considerable distance to the south.
The large balloon passed Fremont Ohio, at Z
O'Clock, and Sandusky 1880. It's course was
then due east.
SANDUsKY, July 2.-The aerial ship Atlantic
passed this city at 1880 A. NJ, course east by
north The papers dropped unfortunately fell
in the lake. Only three persons were visible.
The name on the balloon was distinctly seen.
CLEVELAND July 2.-The balloon passed
Fairport, twenty miles east of this place, at
$50 A. M. 1t was seen to nearly touch the
water, but rose again and disappeared in a
northeast direction.
NIAGARA FALLS, July 2.-12:l5 2. M.-The
balloon passed here very low, bound east, and
going very fast.
CINCINNATI, July 3.-The balloon Atlantic
landed at North Adams Jefferson county N. Y.
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon. No particu-
lars have yet been received in consequence of
the heavy storms prevailing on the eastern line.
1t was the intention of Mr.. Wise and his asso-
ciates, if fsuccessful in their first trip, to make a
second trip from San Francisco eastward to
New York. and if successful in that, they will
then make an attempt to cross the Atlantic
