Webster went 10 his assistance and found
the basket bottom upwards, the balloon upon the

He was taken to the house and Drs Ad-

tered chloroiorm and fxei his arm and shoulder,
and he was made as comfortable as circum-

have occurred but for the strong gale Of wind
and an insufficient quantity Of gas, the gas
works of Montpelier not being able to give him
SO much as he would wish. He WAS obliged TO
throw out all his ballast in order to clear the top
of the State House. and had no alternative but
te go and stop when snd where the wind said
Mr. Seaver did not consider it safe to start with
so little gas, but concluded to do II rather than

COMPOSED of 700 pounds of No. 1 Peruvian
~ Guano, and l, 300 pounds of Soluble
Phosphate of Lime bones dissolved in sulphu-
ric acid, potash and soda, forming the most
concentrated, universal and durable fertilizer
ever offered to the farmer-combining all the
stimulating qualities of Peruvian Guano, and
the ever durable fertilizing properties of Ground
Bones.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity per acre, however small and it is the
opinion of many close calculating Farmers.
after TWELVE years experience in testing it
side by side with other popular fertilizers that
an application of 100 pounds Of Excelsior is E.
quail to 200 to 300 pounds of any other fertiliz-
er or guano offered for sale,, therefore il fully
100 to 200 per cent. cheaper. =
rs The very best evidence ne can offer Of the
value Of our Excelsior as crop grover and fer
tizer is the fact of its being initiated and coun-
forfeited in this and other cities.

worthy of their especial notice. Its use for sew

standard character for excellence unequalled by
any other. 1t possesses all the quickness of Pc

fact alone gives it incalculable advantages

Changes Of Life.

AS we look ont upon the world, we behold
one continuous wave Of change reminding US
that we live in d world of dsquiet and turmoil.
The busy throng are fastening to and fro in
eager search of greater happiness Some choose
scenes of revelry and nirth others more
wisely prefer the road to fame by learning's
steep ascent, while the great mass, mad with
hopes delusive phantom, wildly rush for the
goal of wealth leaving home, kindred and
friends, Drawing dangers, and even death itself.
for the consummation of their darling scheme /;
blindly forgetting, that though seated on heaps
of gold, and basking beneath wealths uncloud-
cd sun to-day, to-morrow's light may find them
poor as Lazarus of old while the tattered
beggar of yesterday, who craved morsel at
their hand, to-day may be a millionaire
Such is life; variable and uncertain. Still life
was given US for some great purpose, and
since this is SO, nothing should swerTe us from
the great end thereof; for when the cup of
mirth and pleasure has been drained, bitter
will be its dregs. And when on fame's high
dome you stand and gaze far down, and look
forward to the things that are beyond, You feel
that you have not gained true wisdom. And
worldly wealth, alas, how triiing is it, when
compared with the true wisdom that comes
from above
" In him, then let your portion be,
Cleave unto him, who's all in all,
While trusting him you cannot fall,
And He will take you home at last,
Your trials Ger, your changes past.

Marrying for Money.

Marrying for money in the expectation Of
soon becoming rich widow or widower, is a
very uncertain speculation. A California cor
respondent Of the Chicago Tribune gives an
account Of gentleman formerly in the Span
ish army, who long ago married widow lady
fifty-seven years Of age, who was possessed of
great riches, with consumptive tendency and
no membranes. She was much older than
the bridegroom, but her prospects fer an ex-
tended lease Of life were very poor, aud the
mercenary husband congratulated himself on
the probability of speedily coming into full and
undivided possession Of her fortune. But alas
for the uncertainty Of human hopes! that in
domitabe woman with a consumptive tenden-
cy, in defiance Of all laws Of probability, con-
tinued to live on until fifty-scven more years
had expired, and has only recently departed,
at the ripe age of one hundred and fourteen.

Tough Beef.

In Hartford, fifteen or sixteen years ago, i
boarded at the same hotel with practical
joker named Terry. A couple OF his pranks,
which have never been in print, may be worth
telling. For two weeks, Notwithstanding our
grumblings, we had been suffering, about fifty
of us, under the infiiction Of exasperatingly
tough beef, with no PROSPECT Of relief, until
Jim Terry effected a permanent cure. CUT
ting lot Of jujube paste into strips ho snug
gled tho tough materia! into the dried beef
plates. That evening there was Pulling, and
tugging, and wrestling with the dried beef all
along the double line. Not man, woman, or
child could make even an impression on it with
their teeth. After some futile attempts, one Of
the boarders exclaimed, dssparingly:
"The beef gets tougher every day."
They've been tanning it SO We shouldn't
wear 1t out with our teeth" said ono.
"And IT'S sugar coated" said another, as
the paste began to dissolve in lis mouth enough
to disclose the taste.
The nature Of tho substance was soon dis.
covered, but the wrathfnl landlord was a good
while finding ost the author of tho joke,
though he had his snspicions. After he did
become certain, In consequence Of confession
by the culprit there was SO little real comfort
for Terry about the hotel that he felt obliged
to change to another. enjoyed his company,
and went with him. lie was not idle in his
new place. BY quick, adroIt blow he could
divide an egg lonsitudinally with bis knife,
and, after removing tho contents, put the two
halves of the shell together, SO that when
stuck back in tho sort Of cruet used to hold
boiled eggs, the deception would not be ap-
parent.
One morning ho had flushed manipulating
a whole vessel full Of eggs standing pear him,
when waiter .ook them to The other end OF the

good natured, 6eshy ladies arc not apt to DO
cross. She was mad anyhow, about the
soup the day before. She broke or took apart
one Of the frauds after another, to the aniusc-
ment Of the spectators, till she got out Of pa
tience and speaking to the waiter, said, with
smile tho shape Of a hash chopper, John,
couldn't you drop some o these shells into tho
chicken soap to-day, SO as TO come as near as

Curing Meat.

At this season Of tho year the thoughts OF al
most every farmer naturally turn more or less
to The process of killing meat for the Winter
uso Most firiners have pig or too 10 salt
down, and some have mutton or beef, and the
quality Of meat which Is TO furnish food Tor tho
family will depend good deal on the way it
is cured
To one gallon Of water take one and half
pounds Of salt, half pound Of sugar, half an
ounce CT salpctre, half an onnc, Of potash
In this ratio the pickle to bs increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled together;
all the dirt from the sugar rises to the top and
is skinned off. Then throw it Into ib TO cool,
and when cold pour it over yout beef or pork;
to remain the usual time, say fotit or five
weeks. The meat must be covered with pick
lc, and should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which .lmc 1t should
be slightly sprinkled With powdered satpette;
which rem.ocs Ill the surfacc blood, etc, lea
wing the meat fresh and clean. Some omit
boiling the pickle, and find it to answer well,
though the operation Of boiling purifcs tho
pickle by throwing off the dirt always -
be found in salt and sugar.

Quite number of men are busy laying down
ties and rails on Virginia avenue southwest
they are in the employ of the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad Company. On Saturday the
rails had been laid and fitted as far as the
crossing of Seventh street. No inconsiderable
commotion has been caused in this vicinity by
the taking possession by. the company Of The

1t is asserted by those interested that The
right Of the company to this possession will be
brought before the courts, where the same vii

Deceiving Children.

DR.. B. was called to visit sick boy, twelve
years Of age. As he entered the house the mo-
ther took him aside and told him she could not
get him to take any medicine except she de-
ceived him.
"Well, then, sail DR.. B. II shall not give
him any. He is old enough to be reasoned
with"
He went to the boy, and after an examina-
ton, said to him
"My little man, YOU are very sick and must
take some medicine. 1t will taste badly and
make you feel badly for little while, and
then expect it will make you feel better. "
The doctor prepared the medicine, and the
boy took it like man, without any assistance;
and he would take from his mother anything
that the physician had prescribed, but would
take nothing else from her. She had so often
deceived him and told him it was good, when
she gave medicines, that he would not trust to
anything she said.
Honesty with children, as well as with all
others, aud in all circumstances, is the best
policy.

A LOUISVILLE "REBEL. ."-One gentleman,
with as pure a heart as God ever created, and
as kind and gentle as the best beloved mother
in all Christendom called at the relief Office on
Main street, Louisville, With large bundle in
his arms, which he said he wanted to send to
Chicago. The bandle contained two grey
blankets; well worn, and marked on the cor
ner C. S. A. They were, the Colonel said, the
only thing he had left to rethind him Of the
lost cause He had carried them through
many fcrce-fought campaign, and finally,
when the war was over, he had taken them to
his home. He thought much of them, but he
wanted them TO go to Chicago, and he prayed
as much as it was possible for him to pray
that they would do some poor sufferer as much
good as they had him in the past
