ALICE CARY.-This gifted Western
poetess died at her residence in East
Twentieth street on Sunday, at the age
of fifty She was the daughter OF Robert
Cary, plain, substantial old farmer OF
Hamilton county, Ohio, who died only
so late as February IL, 1866, the same
day of the year as that upon which his
gifted daughter has taken her depart
ure. Alice was promising poetess at
eighteen, but was known only by little
fugitive pieces, which she flung here
and there into out of the way corners of
country newspapers. The Louisville
Journal, we believe, was the first to call
attention to the rising promise of the
Young poetess. Her first volume of
poems was undertaken in conjunction
with her younger sister Phoebe, and was
heartily welcomed by the public. She
next published alone series OF "Clove-l
nook papers," prose sketches, which
which won decided popularity. In
1853 she published volume OF verses
entitled "Lyra and other poems" In
late wears she wrote numerous novels,
all of which were warmly received by
the public. She has written very CO.
invalid. She was in the habit for sew
eral years past of giving pleasant little
Sunday tea-parties to her literary friends
at her and her sister Phebe's cosy home
in Twentieth street, and the select and
exclusive HherateurS of the city usually
gathered about her on these occasions.
She and her sister were both believers
in Spiritualism. The fact is related by
Horace Greeley that once they saw with
their material eyes the form and figure
of little sister, standing on house
some distance away, when she was in
fact sleeping very quietly in a room
above them, and that she died soon
after. From this incident they took
their belief in Spiritualism, processing
the Swedenborgian branch of it. Alice
Cary never married. She leaves by her
death her sister Phoebe to mourn her
loss and the love between the two lone
sisters was a strong tie that has bound
them closely together all their lives.-

ADVENTURES OF A PARIS BALLooN.-A
balloon which left Paris recently with
two passengers and a great bulk of cor
respondence, was seen the same day to
pass over Brussels. The persons in
charge had been told by the chief of
the Aeronautical Department in Paris
that with the force of wind then blow.
ing their progress would be about five
leagues per hour. Two hours after their
departure they were over Brussels, but,
relying upon the information they re.
ceived, they believed they were not
more than ten leagues from Paris, and
therefore feared to descend, lest they
should fall into the hands of the Ger
mans. They continued their course,
but in less than an hour they came
within sight Of the sea. The balloon
was then 1000 metres from the earth,
but the travellers, perceiving the peril
Gus nature of their position, imme.
diately cut open the silk in various
places. The descent was made with
fearful velocity, and when the car dashed
upon the earth the two travellers were
thrown out, but although they tainted,
they were not seriously hurt. One
packet Of dispatches was also thrown
out, but the balloon, with the remain.
der, after being relieved from their
weight, Immediately rose. 1t was ulti.
mately seen to fall into the sea.

An old farmer was out one fine day
looking over his broad acres, with an
axe on his shoulder and small dog at
his heels. They espied woodchuck.
The dog gave chase and drove him into
a stone wall, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
woodchuck partly out from the wall,
and the woodchuck would take the dog
back. The old gentleman sympathy
getting high on the side of the dog, he
thought he must help him. So putting
himself in position with axe above the
dog. waited for the extraction of the
woodchuck, when he would cut him
down. So an opportunity offered and
the old man struck, but the woodchuck
gathered up at the same time, took the
dog in far enough to receive the blow,
and the dog was killed on the spot.
For years after, the old gentle.
man, in relating the story, would al
WAYS add: And that dog don't know
to this day but what the woodchuck
killed him."

PUTTING 1T RoUND.-The " smiting,"
which was in vogue long ago in the land,
Egypt is a habit which does not appear
so shocking to us, perhaps, as it must to
other foreigners. There is much more
use of the hand among Anglo-Saxon
populations-of the argument called
blow''-than on the Continent. But
in Egypt, whoever can hit, cuff, or kick,
does it freely Sir Anthony Abso-
lute's mode of ruling a household, and
its results, may be seen any day IN the
streets.
There was curious illustration Of
this rule the other morning near Shop
herds Hotel. Two men had a dispute
over matter Of sale, and from words
one of them, the larger and stronger,
resorted to sound boxing on tho ears
of his antagonist. The latter put his
hands to his face, looked round with
one glaring eye at the crowd which had
been collected by the controversy, and,
singing out a laughing donkey-boy, adj
ministered to him tremendous cuff on
the side of the head. A few yards away
there sat child of eight or nine years
of age against the wall of house, inno-
Gently sucking a piece of sugar-cane.
The donkey-boy at once charged him,
and kicked him in the ribs. The little
fellow looked up, uttered a cry of rage,
and selling large paving stone which
lay close at hand, flung tat the
donke boy ?-oh, certainly not but
at a poor street dog which lay asleeR
close at hand.-RusSelTs Diary in hp

THE PIGEON MAILs.-The London
Times gives an interesting account ofthe
ingenious device by which the matter
of two whole pages of that journal was
transmitted from London TO Paris. The
pages of that paper which contained
communications to relatives were photo
graphed on thin and almost transparent
paper. about one inch and half long
and one inch wide. By the naked eye,
there could be seen on these impress
sions only two legible words, Z" The
Times" and six narrow brown bands,
representing the six columns of printed
matter. forming page of the journal.
Under the microscope, however, the
brown spaces became legible, and every
line of the newspaper was found to have
been distinctly copied, and with the
greatest clearness. These minute pho
tographic copies were sent to Bordeaux
for transmission by carrier pigeon to
Paris. When the messages arrived in
Paris they were, by aid of magic Ian
tern, magnifed to large size and
thrown upon a screen. A staff of clerks
then Immediately transcribed the mes
sages, which were sent to their adj
dresses. The Times suggests that the
success of this experiment gives rise to
a hope that the new art of COMPRISING
printed matter may be made useful for
the ordinary purposes Of literary men.
Thus if a page of the Times can be COM
pressed into the space Of an ordinary
postage stamp, an octave volume might
be made to cover page Of the Times,
and library could be reduced to the
size of prayer book. In this way,
persons with the aid of microscope,
could with ease consult matter which
is now extended over many folio vol
unes.
