The GREAT WEST is not to be outdone By the
! east ia originating remarkable stories Of bal
| donates and their doings. Thus an Associated
Press dispatch tells us that Prof j. w. Bailey
made an ascension in a balloon Yesterday from
/ the fair grounds at WapelO Iowa. The bal
loon was inflated with rot air and left the
! horizontal bar beneath. Just as it started il
/ took ire near the mouth and Bailey did not no
t'ce the tire until he was too high 70 let 90 with
safety, bat hung on until he reached an altitude
# 200 or 800 feet, when the canvas that held
! the hoop from which be was suspended burned
/ away and he fell, reaching the earth a quarter
| Q! mile from the starting point. The BODY
/ was .r!gLsf1ily mangled, and the veracious

| CASE OF ALLEGED KIDNAPPING.-The police
! of New Orleans, on the 18th inst, arrested a
! man and woman named Burfess for inhumanly
| treating a little girl, about six years of age,
! which they claimed was theirs by adoption.
| When rescued from her fendsh protectors, she
| stated that she had been stolen from her mother,
| widow woman, in Cairo, H.. some time last
| summer and taken to New Orleans, where
| cruelties had been practiced upon her thatwould
| shame savages The Mayor of that city, in a
! communication to Mayor Wood, of Cairo, gives
| all the particulars, and asks for information.
| Mayor Wood responded at once that such a
| woman as the child mentions lives in Cairo, and
| that the parties arrested did take her away on
| the steamer e. b. Church, last summer, but
| that though she opposed 1t, she thought no harm
could come TO her child, aud it consequently
| seems doubtful whether a case of kidnapping
can be made out. The case excites much stten-
ton in Cairo.
TIE TRUE GosPEL OF DRESS is that Of fitness
and taste. Pictures are pai1ted. and music IL
written, and flowers are fossered that life may
be made beautiful. Let women delight our eve,
IKE pictures, be harmonious as music aud fra
grant as flowers, that they also may fulfil theil
mission of grace and beauty. Let them thinh
less about ringlets and rufies, in order TO give
themselves 20 the contemplation of whatever \,
noble, and lovely, and OF gcoi report. By com
partnership with beautiful thoughts shall then
tastes be SO formed, that their toilet will never
| be oct of harmony with their means or their DO
/ sition To bay and to wear the right thing viii
| come 10 he as natural as to breathe They viii
\ be clothed almost as unconsciously az the llis
Of the fiald; but there will be no more uniform
ity in their sttire than in their faces.-Sss
