The Amorou. Eronaut.

A late French journal relates thefollow-
ing, which, it will be seen, is French all
over:
While Mons GODDARD was filling an i'm
mense balloon in the Champ de Msrs, he
amused the spectators by sending up the
small figure Of man, the perfect sem
blance Of NJ Theirs without spectscles.
The little man being filed with gas, rose
msjestically into the air, and was soon
lost to view among the clouds. His sdven-
lures, which became known next day,
were curious. Thanks to strong and IA
vorable gale, which impelled him on his
course, the little balloon man arrived the
same afternoon in sight Of q 6ne country
house in the neighborhood Of Bleyro. 1t
was near the hour of dinner, and the lady
of the mansion, who naturally thought
herself perfectly safe, was occupied In the
mysteries Of her toilet.
It was @ warm day and she had opened
one of the windows which looked out upon
the park, and was safe from any prying
eyes. While TRANQUILITY engaged, by the
assistance of corset-lscing, in reducing her
waist to q size and shape that would re-
/ feet credit on her husband taste, she was
suddenly startled by blast Of wind, fol-
lowed by q strange noise andimmediate.
" the easement was thrown open, and our
little balloon man entered her chamber un-
announced. The lady utters cry Of terror,
and throws a shawl over her shoulders.
The little man, driven by the wind, throws
himself upon the unhappy woman, who,
screaming louder than ever, pushes him
of, and he ooncesls himself under the
bed.
Just as the wife, in supplicsting voice,
says to this novel Don Juan, "Ah, Mon
sieur, go away or you will ruin meP the
husband furiOusly rushed in, crying, "Ah
the wretch, have him nowl" and flies in
search Of his sword to run him through the
body. The wife, more dead than alive, re
iterates, in the midst Of sobs, ''Fly, fly, Mon
sieur; and save me the sight Of dreadful
tragedy p
"Ehe husband arrives" armed to tht
teeth, followed by the whole household
who seek to mollify his anger.
While two Of his friends hold the hus
band q third, STOPPING down, perceiveI
our little friend, who, for a good cause
utters not q word, and catching him b!
the leg, draws him forth from his conceal
mentEWhen lol Monsieur Balloon, n
longer held down by the bsdstesd, raise
himself erect, swell5 out and rises majes
tically to the ceiling, to the immens
amusement Of the spectstOrsi while tn

The Lnte John O Rires.

Auo LALo JUN - AAAuGaa
The Washington Chronicle has the fol-
lowing interesting biographical sketch Of
Mr.. RiYes.
Mr.. Rives was 8 man Of remarkable
sense and judgment in political affairs,
and in regard 10 election results he was
for many years almost an oracle In his
latitude.
he adhered with his associate firmly 10
the fortunes Of General Jackson and Mr..
Van Buren, and they had the indescribs-
BILE qualification Of aiding the "Old Hero"
in some pecunisry embarrassment arising
from securityship during the latter part Of
his life.
Mr.. RiTes identified himself with the
Union cause in the present rebellion by
words and conspicuous deeds. he gave to
the city several thousand dollars for the
benefit Of the wives and children Of the
volunteers Of the District, and his purse
was ever open to contribution for public
objects.
Mr.. RiVes was q most generous employ
or, and retained many persons in his eX-
tensiVe printing establishment by his just
and liberal appreciation Of their services.
We remember one instance, which OCCUR
red few years since, in which he gave
above FIVE thousand dollars to single in
diVidusI as a reward for his fidelity during
something like the third Of a century.
Mr.. Rives, By industry, economy and
good sense, and without parsimony or in
| Justice 10 others, accumulated q largo for
tune His Plsoe OF business has for forty
years been in Washington, but some II or
10 years ago, he built oommodious ooun-
try residence just within the county Of
Prince Georges, Maryland, on the turn
pike between Washington and Bladens-
burg, and on the few acres which oonsti-
tstss his fasEa, he has been Q successful
eultiVator Of the soil.
His loss will be deeply felt By this COM
munity' and especially by the poor.
