NJ Dupuy De LONE, an eminent French en-
gineer, appears to have made notable advance
in the art ofaerial navigation. His balloon was
begun under a contract with the French gov
eminent during the siege of Paris, but was not
finished before the surrender of the city, and
circumstances have delayed its completion until
last month. A trial trip was very successful,
although the balloon was not, as the telegraph
reported, propelled against the wind either di-
rectly or by series Of tacks. NJ. De LONE did
not expect this; what he did hope and accom-
plish was to steer the balloon in course some
what divergent from the direction of the wind.
The angle of divergence attained was about
eleven degrees, and this is considered quite sat
isfactory for first experiment. The balloon,
for want of more familiar word, may be called
egg-shaped, though an egg of such proportions
would be a rarity Its longest diameter is some
thing over one hundred feet, and its shortest
little less than fifty. The long diameter of course
is horizontal as the balloon floats, and the car,
shaped somewhat like boat, is slung below it
IN the usual manner. A rudder, stretched, after
the manner of sail, to a yard is attached to
the balloon itself, and is worked by ropes in
the car. The car is also equipped
with two bladed screw, worked
by four or eight men at crank
Four men can exert force enough by this
means to give the balloon velocity of about
i've miles an hour, if the air had no motion o.
It's own The purpose of the screw is not to ado
to the speed ofthe balloon, but to give it an in
dependent motion, so that it will obey the rud
der or have Storage way, as the sailors expires,
it. The balloon carries twenty persons easily
and is managed, so far as it is susceptible o.
management, without difficulty. A motive
power to supersede the men at the crank is
needed There are serious objections to steam
and it is suggested that perhaps an electro-mag.
netic engine would meet the requirements better
than any other Though great advance upon
any previous attempts at aerial voyaging, NJ
De Lome's invention is yet very far from realiz
ing the dreams of those who imagine that thu
air will yet become the highway of nations il
the same sense that the sea is now truly Sc
called. In fact it seems TO have no practica
utility except in such rare emergencies as thu
siege of Paris presented, and very little definite
| promise of anything better in the future

Commonwealth Of Massachusetts, By his excel.

proclamation tor day OF listing and PRAYER
The custom of setting apart one day ANNUALLY for
observance by prayer and fasting, though entirely
neglected by some, and receiving but formal recOg-

majority OF the Christian people of Massachusetts,.
Thinking 1t proper that we should adhere to the
custom transmitted from the fathers ] do hereby

service of public prayer Thursday the fourth day
of April next. And earnestly request the people
of the commonwealth to assemble that day IN
their several places of worship, and impore Him
who hOdeth our lives in His hand, to forgive us our
manifold SINS, quicken us In the sense OF human
weakness and dependence, strengthen us in all up
right purposes and noble ASPIRATIONS and enable
to perform our duties in such that we may
meet his merciful appreciation. Especially let. us
plead with Him who Is the bOuntiiul glver;
To shield us from danger and disaster;
To continue us in health, and prosper our varied
industries.
To open our hearts in practical sympathy for the
needy, and others in distress
To enlarge and sanctify our endeavors for adj
vancement in education and morality;
To preserve to us the blessings of civil and relig-
ious liberty, and the precious heritage Of good gov
eminent;
To nurture in us more earnest regard for virtue,
temperance, and the things which make for honor
able peace:
To keep us in that spirit Of willing obedience to
law ana authority which is essential to the wise de-
velopment and permanent we'll being of every COM
And help y 10 exemplify the golden rule OF

For sometime past, the dispatches from Next
co have said that the insurgents were strong and
successful, and that they would certainly over
throw the government of Juarez. We have not

readily supported in Mexico, as they were for
merly. Mexican military men are no Longer

money and influence. The latest news from
that country shows that the insurgents are
everywhere weak and unsuccessful, and that the
government of Juarez is in no danger of being
overthrow. He has always triumphed over re-
bellious faction; and this fact shows that the
condition of the country was formerly worse
than it is at present.
Somebody at Washington, Mr.. Brooks OF New
York, we believe, proposes to have our govern
ment interfere in behalf of order in Mexico. 1t
is a foolish proposition. Juarez and his sup
porters are doing all that can be done TO secure
settled order in that troubled republic. 1t is not
easy work, for Mexican society must assume
different habits before settled order will eXter-
inmate the tendencies to anarchy; but it is work
which can not be done by outsiders. 1t must be
left to those who now have it in hand. More
over, these proc ositions to have our government
interfere in Mexico, always have behind them
regiments of iobbers and shysters, who mean
what such people always mean and who should
be sternly discountenanced by those who really
desire to see that country made orderly and pros

younger and idler democrats TO troop into the
suburbs, uproot a poplar in some garden which
did not belong to them, cart it triumphantly
back TO Paris, plant ii in some eligible size where
it was not wanted, and call upon the nearest
available priest to bestow on it his bless

customed prudence, never refused 10 per-
form this rite, which was 10 give the
tree an official character; neither did the
Partisan bourgeois refuse to dance round the
tree in a circle when blessed. After the 4th of
September, 1870, there was a question Of plant

When Sherman's army had passed on TO FAY

AT the unfortunate Red River military eXpedi-

der about twenty years old, in the yigor of
health, was thrust clear through his body by a
broad-sword in the hand of mounted enemy.
lie sword entered Just in front of the short
ribs Of the right side, and came out opposite,
close to the spine; and, what was most remarka-
bic, he declared he did not feel its entrance, but
when the fellow drew it out it gave him some
pain, He was considered MORALLY wounded.
But neither bleeding nor dying, as the sur
geons expected, he was transported to a hos
pital in New Orleans, where in few months
he was perfectly well. A question came up in
the circle of surgeons how he escaped so mirac-
ulously. Scientifically considered, the bowels
must have been cut through in several places,
and arterial twigs lacerated by dozens. The
latest theory was this, viz, that neither intes-
tines nor blood vessels were wounded. For a
wonder, that sharp blade slid through between
the tubular coils without injuring anything but
integuments, front and rear, and piercing the
lumbar muscles. When those healed the pa
ticnt was as good as new. That feat repeated
ten millions of times might not succeed again.
