Did You ever "go up in balloon, reader Of
TIE TELEoRNrU' You have been propelled
gently through the air these many times on thA.
rope contriyauc1 called a"swiug," we have no
doubt, and TO a very great height also. Bus were
you ever seated in the basket Of balloon, and
elevated 90 d height OF some fifteen hundred or
more fCet--fur above the roof, Of the houses, ana
seemingly almost beyond the clouds If not,
some day pay visit TO that famous Nronlut,
Professor Lowe, who is now hourly atI0rling our
citizens an opportunity to make topical asccnsions
to whatever height they may desire. from his
balloon grounds, Fifteenth and Coates streets.
In these balloon asconsons the entire city Is
spread Out before your gaze, as though l0okius
down upon q mnp. Almost enCirCliug the city
roll the waters Of the Delaware and Schlylkill.
The frowning walls Of the Penitentiary, nov

legends Of yOre, and hospitality inviting you within

nttraCtiyeHoss that, The earth, they never before
possessed,
How strangely do the white shutters Of the
houses contrast with the bricks that compose
them Aud yet, viewed from such height, how
siugUlBrly picturesque do they become! P1ila-
d,lpha never looks more Cloluly and more quiet
than when viewed from the basket Of balloon.
But for tn continuous stream OfpedcsriAus upon
her streets, one would think that the city lay In
waiting for tho reception OF some renowned guest,
