LEWIS II. BRYANT.
A Daring Aeronaut.

Young Donaldson, who made bal
loon ascension at Reading, Pennsylvania,
on the 30th of August last, and per-
formed series of trapcze feats when a
mile or two from the earth, repeated his
thrilling performance in Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, recently. There was no basket to
the balloon but its place was supplied by
a trapeEe similar to those used by circus
performers, and above the trapeze was
placed hoop, secured to which was a
sui; of heavy clothing to be used by the
erial voyager when he encountered the
cold current.
The Norfolk Journal, in describing the
ascension, SAYS that when the balloon was
released from its mooring and reached
great attitude, Donaldson suddenly, and
apparently with little effort, threw him
self into sitting posture on the bar,
kissing his hand to the crowd below.
Suddenly pretending to lose his balance,
be fell backward until he caught by the
toes on the side ropes that suspended the
trapeze bar. In this perilous position he
swung 10 and fro several seconds-a time
which seemed an age to the awe-stricken
crowd below. Throwing himself back
in his seat on the bar, aronaut astride
the same. Then began series of gym
nastic evolutions-ba balancing himself on
his back and "skinning the cat, by the
side ropes, etc. Upward steadily and
gradually rose the balloon cleaving the
air like a mighty bird. When the bal
loon was a mere spec in the distance, in.
visible to the naked eye, and almost so
through powerful telescopes, the man
nerve of steel and the heart Of lion,
repeated his daring trapeze feat of hang
ing his head downward suspended by his
toes. Such a scene was never before
witnessed in Norfolk, and seldom any.
where in the world. The description Of
of such a scene reads like romance, but
the reality far surpasses the most vivid
powers of "worlpainting,' and We desist
from the vain effort to depict it. When
the @rial ship reached the attitude Of
about half a mile, and struck the cooler
current of the air, the sronaut was OBJ
served to climb up to the hoop and ge,
his thick suit of clothes. Descending to
the bar he dressed himself, and then re.
sumed the gymnastic display-exercisine
himself to keep warm.

Qualities of q Good Doctor.

First, let us advise you to avoid the
drunken doctor as you would a viper.
Avoid mean man, for you may be sure
he will be a mean doctor, just as certain
as he would make mean husband. And
dishonest man; he will not be honest
with you as your physician.
Shun the doctor that you can buy 10
help you out of a scrape-a good doctor
cannot be bought.
Avoid the licentious doctor if you
would protect your family, There can
be no compact between virtue and vice.
Avoid the untidy, course, blundering
fellow, for the man who is clumsy in
hitohing his horse YOU may be sure is
not handy at midwifery surgery.
Avoid the doctor who Aatters you, and
humors your lusts and appetites.
Ayoid the man who puts on an extra
amount of airs; be assured il is done to
cover his ignorance.
Avoid the empty blow-hon, who boasts
of his numerous cases, and tells Of his
seeing forty or fifty patientsa day, while
he spends two hours to convince you OF
/ the fact. Put him down for fool.
To be doctor one must first be a man
in the true sense Of the word.
He should be moral man, honest in
his dealings.
| lie must have good sense, or he can
not be a good doctor.
| lie should be strictly temperate. No
one should trust his life in the hands Of al
Incorporate doctor.
lie must have mechanical genius, OF
it is impossible for him 10 be good sur
gcon.
1t isa good sign II he tells you how tC
keep well.
1t isa good sign II the children like
him.
LISA good sign IL he Is neat and han
dy in making pills and folding powders.
1t iss good sign If heis still student
and keeps posted in all the latest i'm
provemonts known to the profession iol

Our in certain Western fort, some
time ago, the Major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively in
fighting the Indians, by disposing with
the gun-carriages, and fastening the can
non ON the backs of mules. SO he ex-
planned his views to the commandant,
and it was determined to try the expert
ment. A howitzer was selected and
strapped upon an ambulance mule, with
the muzzle pointed toward the tail
When they had secured the gun and
loaded it with ball cartridge, they led
that calm and steadfast mule out on the
bluff, and set up target to practice at.
The rear Of the mule was turned toward
the target, and he was backed gently up
to the edge of the bluff. The officers
stood around in semi-circle, while the
Major went up and Inserted time fuse
in the touch-holc of the howitzer. When
the fuse was ready, the Major lit it and
retired. In moment or two the hith-
erlo unruffled mule heard the fissing
back on his back, and il made him un-
easy. He reached his head round to as
certain what was going on, and as he did
SO, his body turned, and the howitzer
began to sweep arOuud the horizon. Tie
mule at last became excited, and his Gu
riosity become more and more intense,
and in a second or two he was standing
with his four legs in "A bunch, making
six revolutions a minute, and the how
itzer, understand, threatening instant
death to every man within half mile.
The commandant was observed to climb
suddenly up tree; the iieutenants were
seen sliding over the bluff into the river,
as If they didn't care at all about the
high price Of uniforms; the adjutant
made good time toward the fort the
sergeant began to throw up breastworks
with his bayonot, and the Major rolled
over on the ground and groaned. In
two or three minutes there was a puff OF
smoke, a dull thud, and the mule-oh

The Science of Advertising.

Judicious advertising always pays.
n you have a good thing, advertise it.
If you haven't don't.
Don't be afraid to invest in printers
ink, lest your sands Of life be nearly run
out.
Never run down your opponents goods
in public. Let him do his own advcr-
tising.
Large type isn't necessary in advertis-
ing. Blind folks don't read newspapers.
Let your advertisements have some
thing Of the dash in them without exag-
Grafton.
You can't eat enough to last you n
whole year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.
Hand bills and circulars arc good of
their kind, but they cannot take the place
of newspaper advertisements.
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
where there is no fish. You need to let
the lines fall in the right place.
No bell can ring so loudly as good
advertisement. People will believe what
that they hear.
Small advertisements and plenty OF
them, is good rule. We were all ba.
bies once, and yet we made considerable
noise.
People who don't advertise only once
in three months, forget that most folks
don't remember anything longer than
about. seven days.
Quitting advertising in dull times i:
like tearing out dam because the water
is low.
Dull times, it is said, ''are best fol-
advertisers" Because when money is
tight, and the people are forced to econo-
mize, they always read the advertisements
TO ascertain who sells the cheapest, and
liyhere they can trace no tikc Sus.s2'
vantage.
According to the character orextent Of
your business, always set aside 4 liberal
percentage for advertising. Keep your
self increasingly before the public, and i
matters not what business of utility yol
may be engaged in, for if intclligcntly
and industriously pursued, fortune vii
be the result.
The man who advertises shows not on
ly business talent above his neighbors
but he may be at once reckoned among
the independent, generous and publi'
spirited of the community. He Wit
hides his light under a bushel, wheI
such opportunities as those at present AT
ford are so freely offered Kim, he doe
moi deserve to succeed.

To carry out these principles We are

Gratz Brown as candidates for President

inches in diameter; il beats 10 times per
minute, 1900 times per hour, 100, 800
times per day, and 36, 722, 200 times per
year. At each beat a little over two
ounces Of blood is thrown out Of it and
each day il receives and discharges about
seven tons of that wonder-iluid. Your
lungs will contain a gallon of air, and
you inhalo 24,O00 gallons per day. The
aggregate surface of the air cells of your
lungs, supposing them to be spread out,
exceeds 10000 square inches. The
weight of your brain is three pounds,

Two Exiifors.

The Liberal Republicans have nomi-
mated two newspaper editors for Presi-
dent and Vice President.
Horace Greeley, our later Frank
lin, has become renowned, and has rem
dered invaluable services to his country
men as editor of the New York Tribune.
b. Gratz Brown, of Missouri, rose to
be distinguished and to exercise power
over the minds of men as editor of the
Missouri Democrat.
Never before was such honor paid to
the newspaper press as in the nomination
of these candidates.
