A FOURTH OF JULY FLIGHT.


1t is altogether likely that the Ameri-
can eagle will Zap its wings as proudly rs
ever next Fourth OF July and that many
an orator will soar with it TO heights ms
high as have been reared in the past Dos
ton Common, however, is TO have the sem
sstion of the day John Wise, the Oldest
and most distinguished aeronaut Of tho
country, II not OF tho world, intends to 20
up, not on the wings OF the American .
eagle, but in balloon; he intends to |
cross tho ocean in balloon ascending from
Boston Common on the Fourth of July |
The daring aeronaut entertains some pecu-
mysphere, ideas which be hopes to demon
s.rnte ms correct by his contemplated
aerial voyage across the Atlantic ocean,
lie has made four hundred and forty-six
balloon ascensions, and says that ninety
SIX times out OF every hundred the balloon
gravi,ated toward the east, that the rea-
son of this is that at n certain altitude
"the entire upper atmosphere surrounding
the earth constantly moves eastward
with the revolution Of the earth" Not
only this, but that il "moves farther than
the earth, just as water is spurted for
ward from rapidly revolving grind
stone, and is thrown ahead BY the move
'ment Of the terrestrial ball at the rate,
perhaps. of one hundred miles an
| hour" Professor Wise believes that
| if he ascends into this air tide with his
| balloon, he will drift at the rate Of
hundred miles an hour, TO Europe, and
reach his destination in sixty or seventy
hours from the time of starting. Boston
believes in Wise aud his theories and has
aopropriated three thousand dollars to en-
able him to procure the materials for and
the manufacture Of his balloons, of which
thore will DO three, one three times the
size of the two others, the small ones
to be used to supply the large one with
.asas it loses its lifting power The ba'-
ket in which the aerial voyagers will ride
will be a comfortable covered room, with
cellar in which to store water and food
3 for the trip. The room will have windows
on all sides, q lime stove will give abund
y ant Leat for warmth aud to cook with
g while a, night vacuum tube with pls!i'
10 nun wire at each end will furnish abund
ant light by sending II curren: Of electric
)" ity along the wire.
10 A French metal life boat is to be carrie
- along, suspended beneath the basket, pre-
vided with food etc. in case the balioc
49, should fall into the ocean.

A novel scene occurred one evening
last week ou the South side, Pittsburgh,
Squire Sc,A-olze was visited by Il man
aamed Geiapr, who announced to the
magistrate ,hat he had II wife he wish
ed to sell. Arrangements were made
for the sale TO come of the next even
inc at the Aldcrman's office, the latter
never for moment thinking the man
was in earnest in what he said. AT the
time appointed for the auction there
was upward of one hundred people
blockading the sidewalk awaiting an
opportunity to invest in female hnman-
ity.
This did not astonish the Squire half
as much us the appearance Of Gelger
with his wife, who promptly came on
deck at the hour set, the woman taking
her place in the front part of the Office
so that all eXpectant and expected
purchasers could see precisely what
they were bidding ON. The sale COM
menced by Gelger, who'acted as Mc-
tioneer, announcing that he was now
ready to receive bids, and in order to
stimulate bidders and enhance in Their
ewes the value of the "chattel, he
slated that although he was every
much lircdn of the woman, she was
mighty nice, and well worth the price
he asked for her, $3.50. None of the
parties present having $3.50 worth OF
desire to possess the fair, the sale was
declared oil, very much to the disgust
