EXHAUSTLESs ART.-Art is eX. haustless, remarks McCormac, but life is short. Eminence is not to be attained without time and energy; and even after the devo- tion of a life, how rarely do we witness the union of eXcellencies? When we reflect on the advan- tages derivable from art, and on the applications of which it is sus- ceptible to some of the best inter- ests of mankind, we cannot but regret that so great source of human happiness should not be better and more generally culti- vated. With reference to music, whether in the solemn chant, the choral voices of numbers, the thrilling accents of passion, and the varied delights of instrument al harmony;painting and statuary, whether they embOdy the beauty and the admirable details of the human form, or express the linea- Elents of thought and feeling; and architecture, whether it transform the dwelling of the savage into ediflces of surp&ssing grandeur and magnificence-they yield iE- creased scope as well as further hannip pass. purity and joy. tn our

FerilS of an Aeronaut.


 On Thursday, Jan. 13, the we'll known aeronaut, Prof. Donaldson, made another balloon ascension from Norfolk, Va, which came near terminating fatally. When at the night of one mile from the earth, and while performing upon the trapeze, Donaldson concluded that he would descend, and for this purpose pulled the valve cord to allow the gas to escape from the balloon. The valve did not open, and he pulled again. It still remained closed, and there being nc time to lose he pulled with both hands. Again Q failure, and for the third tune he gave a strong, steady jerk. There was 9 sharp, hissing sound, as if made by the ,earing of cloth, followed by rush. ing noise, and he knew that the balloon had bursted. It did not collapse, however, being prevent ed from doing so by the rush ot air from beneath, but closed up at the sides. Atthis time the aeronaut was seated on the cross pieces above the trapeZe bar. The bal loon leaned over to one side and descended with frigh tful velocity. During this awful period the ae- ronaut's feelings may be imagined but cannot be described. He says for the first time in his life he was frightened. In short time, which seemed to him an eternity, the balloon struck the branches of a tree, and went crashing through the limbs. The ropes and trapeze bars catching in the limbs, some what diminished the rapidity of the descent, but still the velocity was terrific. Crashing through the branches, the balloon fell to the ground, the aeronaut landing on his back in a heap of briers. His pants were torn, and his legs lacerated by the briers, but beyond this he escaped without injury. His escape from a frightful death is simply miraculous. Rising from his thorny couch, Donaldson, still cool and with nerve little shaken by his terrible mishap, took a sur vey of the situation. He had fallen on the edge of swamp near a field five miles from Norfolk. On examining the balloon he found large rent extending from the top to the bottom. Rolling it up, he started for assistance, securing which, he next procured a con Veyance and returned to Norfolk.

What Advertising Did.

Millaud, the banker and news
 paper speeulator, who dled re- gently in Paris, and who founded the Paris Petit Journal, which at one time had a daily circulation of nearly half million copies, was an enthusiastic believer in the advantages of liberal advertising. One day he had at his table near ly all the proprietors of the lead ing Paris dailies. They conversed about advertising. Millaud as- serted that the most worthless ar- ticles could be sold in vast quanti- ties, if literally advertised. Emil de Girardin, of La Presse, who was present, took issue with him on the subject. "What will you bet" exclaimed Millaud, "that I cannot sell in one week one hum dred thousand francs' worth of the most common cabbage seed under the pretext that it will pro- duce mammoth cabbage heads? All have to do is to advertise it at once in a whole page insertion of the daily papers of this city" Girdrdin replied that he would give him a page in his paper for nothing if he should win his wa ger. The other newspaper pub fishers agreed to do the same thing. At the expiration of the week they inquired Of Millaud how the cabbage-seed had four ished. He showed them his books triumphantly, and satisfied them that he had sold nearly twice as much as he promised, while or ders were still pouring Tn; but he said the joke must stop there, and no further orders would be filled.

CANINE SAGACITY.-AP Panama journal tells the story of extraor- dfnary canine sagacity: "When the dog wishes to cross a river where alligators abound, he gets up the stream great way and barks with all his might; the alli- gators go there and wait for his getting in to swim across. The dog knows what he is al out; when he sees from the numberof the shouts above water that his enemies have all gathered to the feast, he runs down the bank as fast as he can ana swimS across before the alli- - nkAnUara ( f tl4c trick that

The re1p arkable dis tinction between greenbacks and gold is steadily and rapidly being Obliterated, So that the immediate practical effect of the decision is of comparatively small conse- quence. But it will, it is said, eX- ercise a beneficial and tranquiliZ- ing effect upon the nation by dis
 sipating fears of a hasty and forced return to specie payments, and by placing the popular faith in green backs upon an impregnable basis.

TgE CASE OF REV. Mr.. MArrHEws.

The testimony taken by the investigating
Committee Of the New Castle Presbytery, con-
corning the charges brought against Rev. Mr.
Matthews, has been printed, and the members
of the Presbytery have decided, unanimously
that it is insufficient to cast breath Of suspi-
cion on the accused gentleman. 1t must be &C
cepted as a complete disproof, in every particu-
lar, OF the charges made against him, and in
view of it We exceedingly regret that statements
made in our oolumns-though much more guard
ed in expression, than those Of some Of our CO.
tenporaries - assumed as facts to his dizcredt
s.o.ies that are now demonstrated to he untrue.
SANDERS, such as this which has been origins
ted against Mr.. Matthews, are a terrible thing
and their evil effects can with great difficulty be
re nedied. The expression Of their perfect con-
hdence in his purity of character, by the mem
bera Of Presbytery, ought in this instance, tC
re-instate Mr.. Matthews in the position of re-
spected usefulness, from which the tongue Of
Islander forced him, for awhile.

The Democrats have decided to make des-
perAte effort to carry New Castle county. At a
caucus held at New Castle, last Saturday, and
generally attended by the local ofiice-holders OF
the party, aud the wire-pullers and manager,
tue attempt was resolved upon. 1t was hoped
that the many acknowledgements, through the
manipulation OF the assessments, would make
success still possible, in spite OF the heavy Re-
publican majority which a fair and full vote
would undoubtedly show.
AS part of the scheme, the Warden of the
County Jail has been preparing list Of colored
men convicted Of felony, the list to be used a

tried in 1870, and amounts to very little.
