ing anecdote illustrative of, the

when a boy:
ssOnee, when hewasa 6oy, asLow

,misehies sons pony trained to go
round the ring like lightning, and
he was expected tothrow any boy
that attempted toride him. Win
any boy come forward and ride
this pony p shouted the ring-mas-
ter. Ulysses stepped forward and
mounted the pony. The perform
ance began. Round and round and
round the ring went the pony,
faster, making the greatest effort
to d;smennt tthe rider. But Ulys-
sessat as steady asifhe had grown
: to the pony's back. Presently out
came . large monkey and sprang
up behind Ulysses. The people
set up a great shout of laughter,
and son the pony ran, but it Sall
produced no effect on the rider:
Then the .ring-master made the
monkey jump up on. to Ulysses
shoulders, standing with his feet
on his shoulders and with his
hands holding On to, his hair. At
this there was another and a still
louder shout, but not.a muscle of
Ulysses face moved. There was
not q tremor ofhjs- nerves. A few
more rounds, and the ring master
gave it up-he had come across a
boy that the pony and the monkey
both could not dismount.' - =

Observations of n Memphis Mans Bal
loon Journey.

Mr.. c. Nourse, OF Memphis, who accompanied
Professor Brooks il his late balloon journey
from that city, glres the following interesting
account of his experiences in the upper re-
sions:
We started uy at twenty minutes to o'clock.
The balloon, which has only made one p:evi-
GUS ascension, was filed with about 80 600 cubic
feet of Gas, and conveyed TO the park by thirty
men in about five hours. When all was ready
I got in the basket, and Professor Brooks step
ped IN after Me and gave the order to let so,
which was done with precision. A small dog,
belonging to little son Of 1fr. Byron, was sus-
pended 10 parachute below the ca-. We went
up like an arrow, but passed rapidly northward.
The carts rcceled quickly, and in five minutes
the Gro yd looked like all ant hill, and
the trees no larger than co:nstalks. At an
altitude of eight Thousand feet Professor
Brooks let loose the little doc. Owing to too
much handling by tbe crowd. the parachute
MAS out of order, and collapsed as soon as let
loose hence the dog went down swiftly, aud
the Professor remarked tina. he thought the
dog was killed. which subsequently, was con-
frmcd. Alter that tie balloon shot
up more rapidly, and We experienced
a cooler sensation. l had been trying
to keep cool all the while and the
Professor fllttered me that succeeded pretty
III. y
to escape. and we deccnded rapidly until within
two OF three thousand fee. OF the earth. Then
a few handstul OF sard were thrown out, and
we went up 10 height Of At least two miles.
From this position the city locked like tstll dim
and the Mississippi river, which was visible for
at least two hundred mics, looking like wind
ing strip Of silver ribbon. We were then about
ten miles from tie park. The sun, to u, was
getting far away into the gorgeous West, but
long, dark'shadows, like funereel plumes, swept
over the world below. A Strong current car
red us toward Arkansas, and We had fine
prospac. OF landing i'll swamp, to take tree
and listen to the screen owl and wild cats I'LL
night, or STAY up ali night in the cool regions
OF boundless space until the next day. At SIS
we begun to descend slowly. A counter cur
rent Carried us further cast, and the Pr.fessor
decided to come down If lie could see C good
place to drop. At $40 he deserted cornteldI,
