The First Balloon Voyage.

Bur the time had now come for the first
aerial voyage, and this was fhagnifcently
performed by the intrepid Rollers, who
had zealously taken up the subject Of aer-
ostatiOn from the earliest announcement
of Montgolfier's success, and the Marquis
d'Arlandes, fine gentleman of the court,
who wrote an interesting account of the
perilous and unprecedented trip. The bal.
loon of the Marquis, which was inflated
with heated air, and not with hydrogen
gas, far exceeded our modern balloons in
magnifcence of decoration and elegance of
equipment, and must have presented a
splendid appearance as 1t rose above the
temples and columns of Paris In the lovely
October sunset. It made the entire circuit
Of the capital, passing over the boule-
wards and lowering always in sight of the
vast crowds Of wonder loving Parisians
now fairly intoxicated by the brilliant spec
tacle. There were eyes that marked its
course with other feelings than gratified
curiosity or unreasoning delight. Among
the faces turned upward to the sky above
Paris on that 2lst of October, 1883, was

France, SO soon to become CONFUSED in
revolution, went wild upon the subject of
balloons. Ascensions were made in every
part Of the kingdom, and hundreds Of
people Of both sexes earnestly beSeed

the judicious few that the navigation Of
the air was up .tait acconpli, or that men
might go were they pleased with the
speed of the wind. The Due de Chartres,
afterward Orleans, and the notorious Ega-

It was to be expected that among peo-
pie with so keen a sense of the ludicrous
Is thelFrench, the new discovery should
be made the object of pitiless burlesque
and caricature. All manner of absurd fly
ing machines were represented in cOlored
prints, and all sorts OF ridiculous schemes
were put forth in satirical prospectuses.
But the irony and caricature could not ex-
coed in the comic element the essays that
were written and the plans that were set
forth in sober earnest. noralists gravely
condemned the employment Of balloons,
because they were manifestly contrary to
the will of Divine Providence, which had
not given wings to man; because they
threatened to break down the barriers Of
virtue and morality, by permitting aero

"YoU must keep down the weeds, dar-

Yes, dear. Your mind is that part of
you in which you think and feel. Good
thoughts and feelings are the flowers and

minds, and feelings the weeds. Now, sup

weeds would grow faster than the good

"And as il is with neighbor Orton's

Wasted hours.

ONE hour day Is three hundred and
sixty-fve hours year, which, reckoning
ten hours as days work, amount to
thirty-six days. That is to say, by saving
one hour each day, we can save thirty-six
full working days in years time. Again,
three hundred and sixty-fve hours are
equal to seventy-three days, Of five hours
each, and 1t has been computed that two
hundred such days closely devoted to read
ing are sufficient to make an individual of
ordinary intelligence thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with English literature. That is to
say, by reading one hour each day, we can
become at the end of three years well-read
individuals. These striking estimates
should be forced home particularly on the
attention of those who daily waste an hour
or more in bed during the winter morn
ings; who lie half sleeping, waking,
waiting for somebody to strike light and
kindle the fires; who, instead of resolutely
springing from their touches and applying
themselves to some kind Of labor, indO-
lently wait upon the movements of do
mestics. This habit, 80 tempting and
tenacious, once fxed costs an individual
very many Of the most precious hours of
his life.
The above suggestions are worthy Of
the consideration of those who complain,
as justification for ignorance, that they
have no time to read that there is never
moment to spare for books. How many
wasted moments could such persons count
up every night before retiring. Those
who spend their evenings at the corner
grocery or tavern; who exchange stories
by the hour with convivial companions |;
who tarry long over dinners who devote
night after night to theaters and other
places of amusement, which are neither
instructive nor elevating; who sit round
the fire, hour after hour, gossiping about
neighbors, magnifying their faults and be-
lifting their virtues; who devote the
hours Of car or boat passage 10 and from
business, to small talk or the reading of
the unimportant dissipating details, per-
sonal controversies, scandals, and revela-
tions with which daily papers are too often
padded who promenade the avenues in
fine linen, to see and to be seen; who
squander the summer months at watering
places and other fashionable resorts
should, one and all, count up their mis-
spent hours for one week, II they would
realize how large portion Of their lives
absolutely goes to waste.
Whoever makes point to improve
every moment of time is certain to achieve
success in this world, no matter what his
vocation or opportunities. Whoever aims
to become informed can do 30 by giving
to books the moments which kre COM
monty FILTERED away. Merchant, me-
chanic, farmer or tradesman, 1t matters
not what his avocation may be, he can
secure enough moments each day to make
him familiar in time with the best authors.

every remedy that has been recommended for
humors, and they are no better now than when
they commenced Them and they have no conf

We would say. to these that there is now rene

diseases 1t acts upon an entirely different
principle from anything ever offered for them !:
It throws humor out of the blood through the

the system can be entirely freed from them. If

Runaway Accident.

Yesterday morning between nine and ten
o'clock, a team of horses, belonging to Mr..
Parmertier, engaged in hauling rock, on Gro
zier street, became frightened and ran away.
They were attached to wagon, from which the
double-trees became detached, letting them
down on the horses heels, which alarmed them
greatly and they dashed down the street to
Ingles' mill, where they turned and made their
way to Gay. They ran on the side walk next
to Van elders block, running over little boy
and plunging off the pavement ran against the
tongue of a wagon, near the grocery house of
Gilbert & Bro, which struck one of the horses
in the flank, causing his intestines to protrude
from the gaping wound inflicted. The horses
ran toward the stable, but fell at the corner of
Cumberland and Main streets. Assistance was
rendered and the injured animal helped up ard
taken to Mr. Prs stable, where it was put to
death to prevent needless suffering, the wound
being fatal

MERCHANTS, TAX LAW.
ueeting Of the hoard of Trade.

neetinS OF tne board OF TRADE.
Pursuant to notice given, the Board of Trade
met last evening A large number of members
were in attendance
The meeting was called TO order by Perez
Dickinson, Esq, who stated the object OF the
meeting.
Mr.. Sanford hoped that as Col. Thornburg
was present he would state how the tax law
stood.
Col Thornburg then arose and made some
very interesting statements in regard to the
vexed question, and showed that he had acted
most unselfshly in the matter. His fees in the
cases where indictments were taken, if the pro-
visions of the law were carried out, would
amount to $4,000, but he did not wish to see
that done Neither did he wish the county to
assume the costs in the cases-that would be un-
just to other taxpayers. Even if the penalties
were set aside by the Court, there would still be
costs in each case. He was willing to forego
his fees however, and if subscription was
taken up, would head it with 500 to defraying
the expenses In the course of his remarks the
Colonel showed most liberal spirit, which we
hope will be properly appreciated by those in
terested.
The Colonel also clearly demonstrated that
nobody had any right to censure either the
Clerk of the County Court or the Grand Jury,
but said if the merchants present had composed
the Grand Jury they would have sent the
bills, as their oaths would have required them
to do so.
The Chairman. Mr.. Dickinson, did not wish
the Board to take any action that would SAVIOR
of an evasion of the law.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Van Glider
HUI. L. McClung, and others.
Messrs. Sanford, Hoss and Gaut were appoint
ed committee to confer with Col. Thornburg
and meeting of the merchants of the city APP
pointed to be held at the Board of Trade Rooms
tonight.
The discussion of this law was the only subject
agitated, and after adjournment Col. John
Fleming explained briefly the purpose of the
law, after which the meeting dispersed.
