The Death Of La Mountain, the
AerOnaut.

New York July s. A letter from
Iowa gives the following details of the
death of La Mountain, the aeronaut:
"When fully half a mile from the
earth, and when the whole structure
looked no larger than hogshead the
balloon slipped between the ropes and
was instantly inverted. The Car and
occupant dropped like shot with the
most terrific velocity, the unfortunate
man clinging to the basket. Fiat he
was conscious was evident from his
struggles. With all the intensity of
an imperilled life he sought to seize
the basket above him, evidently hop.
ing to use it as parachute. He sue
eeeded in his object, but when about
one hundred feet high he loosen
ed his hands and arms
before his face. His feet first struck
the ground with dull heavy thud.
Then ensued panic and uproar in
the crowded multitude. Women
tainted, strong men wept and the car
cass came flying over the crowd like
huge bird. Some one cried out to
get from the way as it would fall with
crushing force. Then the cry was
taken up and general rush made for
safety, in which many were more or
less injured. La Mountain was
crushed into literal pulp. A medi.
cal examination disclosed the fact
that hardly whole bone was left.
Many were ground and splintered to
powder. His jaws fell upon his
arms, and were pulverized, and the
blood spurted from his mouth and
ears.
The corpse was laid out on the pub
lie square, where it was visited by
thousands during the afternoon, and
was sent home at Brooklyn, Mich
the following day.

For Young Men.

James Parton, the noted author, in
an article on Charles Browne (Arte-
mus Ward), closes thus, and he gives
good advice to young men:
II thought ought not to conclude
this article without letting the reader
know why this bright and genial
spirit is no longer here to add to the
worlds amusement. Well, this was
the reason:
Wherever he lectured, whether in
New England, California or London,
there was sure to be knot of young
fellows to gather around him, and go
home with HIM to supper, and spend
half the night in telling stories and
singing songs.
To any man this will be fatal in
time; but when the nightly carouse
follows an evenings performance
before an audience, and if succeeded
by railroad journey the next day,
the waste of vitality is fearfully rapid
Five years of such life finished poor
Charles Browne. He died In London
in 1867, aged thirty-three years, and
he now lies buried at the home of his
childhood, in Maine.
He was not deep drinker. He
was not man of strong appetite
1t was the nights wasted in cornwall
ity which his system needed for sleep
that sent him to his grave forty years
before his time. For men of hi'
profession and character, for all edi.
tors, literary men and artists, there is
only one safety, teetotalism. HI
should have taken the advice of thu
stage-driver on the plains, to whom
he offered some whisky; and I com
mend it strongly to the countless host
who see this paper every week.

The Catastrophe at Niagara Falls.

A young man and young woman,
engaged to be married, with a boy, a
brother of the girl, went out in a
boat on the Fourth, from the Canada
side, at Chippewa, for a little pleasure
cruise on the Niagara River, and moth
ing more has since been seen or heard
of them. Pieces of their boat have
been picked up, and doubtless its &C.
eupants from their "love's young
dream" went down to death into the
awful abyss of the Horseshoe Fall,
with their boat. Their bodies some
days hence will probably rise to the
surface in the eddy just below the fall,
or at the whirlpool farther down the
torrent, or at the outlet of the river
at Lake Ontario. These unfortunate
people, ignorant of their danger, were
out ON the river from Chippewa for
the enjoyment of a sail and were drawn
by the smooth and treacherous and
powerful current, into the rapids be-
fore they fully compehended their
terrible situation. And hardly sum-
mer passes away at Niagara without
some such terrible misfortune. Surely
the inhabitants on both sides of the
river should know enough from these
oft repeated disaters not only to avoid
on their own part the danger, but to
prevent strangers from committing
themselves to the decetful stream,
which in a moment may have them
within its grasp, beyond all hope OF
human deliverance.

4 Political Calm.

We do not remember to have seer
time when there was so little politi.
cal excitement as at present, Con.
gress has adjourned, and its members
have gone to their homes or "to
Europe !" the President is at the sea
side, seeking rest and recreation; pol.
iticians and party papers have ceased
to hurl denunciations upon each other
and the country rejoices in cessation
of political hostilities This is well,
as during the fierce and bitter strife oil
exciting campaigns, i'll feeling is en-
gcndered among friends, neighbors
and sections the financial and bust
ness affairs Of the country are derang-
ed, and the whole nation suffers.
Some of the papers still strive to keep
the political fires burning, but there is
little at present that need keep up
party strife among the people. Many
political dogmas that we once con-
tended over are gone by. Slavery is
dead the tariff is more a sectional
than party question reconstruction
is pretty much accomplished; every
body favors the payment of the ma.
tional debt; the obnoxious measures
of the last Congress, were as much
hated by one party as the Other, a1d
upon all the great leading questions
of the day the two parties are pretty
we'll agreed. The last presidential
campaign was more a war among the
sins and outs, than a contest of prin
ciples. The abuse that was heaped
upon the presidential candidates
would have been far less, had the plat
forms of the parties contained princi
Piles Numerically opposed to eacf
other. AS it was, they could eacf
have been adopted by the other party
and the battle of Grant and Greeley
been as well fought upon one side as
the other. The people have no par
ticular interest in politics, only so fal
as wholesome and wise laws are con
cerned, and whatever party or power
can keep the country in the mos
prosperous condition, is the party OF
power to uphold so long as these con
ditions are met. We believe that the
present state of affairs in this nation
warrants the statement that we are
we'll governed, and that the admins
tration is laboring for the good of al
sections of the country. 1t cannot
be said but that every branch Of in
dustry is thriving; the rich find safe
and paying investment for their CAPT
tai the laborer finds labor at increas
ed wages the oppressed abroad fine
welcome home upon our shores in
situations of learning and religion are
blessed with support and success; on
private and public debts are being
cancelled our relations abroad ar,
peaceful; our domestic troubles ar,
growing less; We are happy, indie
pendent and prosperous, and so Ion!
as this state of affairs exists, we hav,
no cause for political change and com
motion.-OHeanS County Monitor

The expected announcement from

The expected announcement from
General Butler of his position on the
question of prohibition at Framing
ham, did not come of, though the adj
dress was delivered as expected. In
the role of candidates for the nomina-
ton, it is evident that Butler finds
this question of prohibition one of
considerable trouble to mind, not that
the good man cares how the question
may be decided, or whether rum or
temperance shall prevail, bat as yet
no one can tell which is the strong
side for him to take, to advance his
chances in the contest for the nominal
ton. The would be Governor is In the
same quandary as the dying Irishman,
who being asked if he would renounce
the devil and all his works, replied
that he was going to strange coun-
try, and did not like to make any en-
emies. So with Butler, he knows
not into whose hands he may fall.
The exhibition of his sentiments at
birmingham, do not appear to please
the temperance party, nor yet tue Ii
cense party, and on the whole it does
not look as though Butler had i'm
proved his chances by his efforts at
that place. That Butler will make
good fight for the portion he covets,
there is no question, but of his success,
there may b, more time alone can de-
termine the latter question, but until
the result of the election is known, we
think the opponents of Butler should
not believe him to be overcome

The trial of young Walworth for
the murder of his father in New York
having resulted iu a verdict of murder
in the second degree, he was on Sat
urday last sentenced to Imprisonment
for life. The penalty Of that crime as
fixed by the Statute of New York.
The scene is described as being
most impressive. The prisoner who
was attended by his relatives and
counsel received the sentence with the
same GOODNESS which has character
lied his demeanor since the CON-
mencement of his trial, and while on
his way to the Tombs remarked that
he understood his position and should
submit to his fate with what equanimi-
ty he could command.

Accounts of various murders and
crimes in all parts of the country have
filled the papers since the celebration
of the 4th of July. We can but look
upon them as the legitimate result of
the manner of observing the day. 1t
would be far better to pass it without
any notice, than in the manner in
which it has of late years been cele-
brated; horse-racing and a general
drunk, have been its chief attraction
in this section for years past. The

Dartmouth College took place last
Tuesday and Wednesday, and were
particularly interesting and impress
i've. The attendance was unusually
large, especially "Wednesday afternoon
when the address before the united lit
erary societies was delivered by
Whitelaw Reid, Of New York. The
following is synopsis OF the address
as reported by the correspondent of
the Patriot. Gu being introduced by
Rev Asa d. Smith, Mr.. Reid proceed.
ed to the consideration of'The Duty
of the American Scholar to Politics"
1t was, he said, the vital concern of
this age of ours. 1t is customary,
npon these high-days of college life,
to present subjects ola different ma
ture /; in view of the present demands
of the times. he was emboldend to
present this very practical subject.
The scholar should be student of the
world. A year ago the public mind
was too much disturbed for calm dis
cussion. Grant was a tyrant and
Greedy a traitor. Now our passions
are less excited. 1t is the custom of
the college-bred to pity the devotee of
politics. To be an earnest, grasping
business man, is praised. TO show
equal attention to public affairs, is con-
sidered degrading to gentlemen and
scholars.
1t is the weakness ofou form of gov
erment that it gives de magogues the
advantage from the very first.
Paint politics as black as you will, it
is so much more the duty of our best
men to enter them. Next to a mans
duty to his God is his duty to his coun-
try. TO help individuals is The duty
of the learned professions to help the
State is the function of the politician.
The age of sentiment has passed.
Emotional politics ended with the war.
Ten or fifteen years ago the subject of
discussion among undergraduates was
Tennyson. Now it is Darwin, Hulk
ley and modern science. Politics
change, also, with the times. To
hate slavery and love the flag requires
no intellectual training. For the
questions of the hour, our country
demands men of the highest culture
and the deepest thought.
The speaker next noticed the lead
ing topics which demand attention.
How shall the evils OF an inflated cur
rency be remedied How shall the
scars Of civil war he healed We de-
plore the evils of politics but we are
In the position Of the man with the
bad wife; he could not get along with
or without her, How will you pre-
vent crime? Against the power OF
great corporations the struggle is al
ready begun at tile West. The rela-
lions OF the man who sells his lapol
and the man who buys it, are hotly
discussed. The strife grows more
bitter every hour. No sudden al
swer must be gwen. All these great
topics are proper subjects to engage
the attention of the true American
scholar. Free thought is necessarily
aggressive and critical. To the
scholar belongs the leadership of til,
radicals he is the natural foe to tht
establi Shment.
A discussion of the other functions
of the cultured classes in modern pol
itics, and reference to the late dis
tlnguished son of Dartmouth, Salmon
