A ThriIIing scene.

There is an element of dream like
terror in the following adventure,
which befell the aeronaut Beudet, on
the occasion of the late vice-regal mar
rage feasts at Cairo. A performance
was given every Sunday in the large
Hippodrome by an Anglo French
troupe, engaged by the Khedive of
Egypt, to which the public had free adj
mission. Among the attractions pre-
sented by the performers was the ba.
loon ascent of the aeronaut Beudet.--
just as the Roi du Ciel," as his ball
loon was named, was about to rise into
the air, Beudet fastened his trapeze to
the car, chung to 1t with one hand, aud
cried "let goW The balloon rose to a
height Of about 400 yards, when q cry
of horror burst from the crowd, . tre-
mendous rent had taken place in the
globe Of the Roi du Ciel.n The bal
loon decended slowly at first, but the
wind soon rushed into the gaping aper-
ture in it's side, and turned It literally
inside out, whereupon II gave ont .
cloud of smoke and took the form of q
flag-case. The unhappy aeronant now
fell almost perpendiculariy; every
heart stood still. Beudet however,
kept Els head, he seized the bar of his
trapeze with both hands, and hung on,
trusting to the slight resistance still
opposed to the air by the balloon but
its speed soon increased; he shut his
eyes and let himself go-bht not TO de.
struction. He fell twenty yards on
soft ground, and though senseless
when taken up, very soon recovered.

How Whittier First Became Known

How Whittier First Became Known
How William Lloyd Garrison came
to find out, 40 years ago, John G.
Whittier, and how Whittier's poetical
career was developed, is thus narrated
by gentleman who is acquainted with
the facts:
Mr.. Garrison was then was then ed
ting a weekly paper in his native
town of NewburypOrt, and the other
was at work ON his fathers farm in
East Haverhill, and was not known
beyond the limits of that obscure viii
large. One morning MI. Garrison
picked mp from the floor of his Office
entry a poctical effusion, written on
coarse paper and with blue ink.
Thinking at first that II was common
doggerel, he was about to consign it
to his waste basket, but on reading it,
he found it to be poetry of more than
ordinary merit. It was published in
the Free Press, and was followed by
other pieces of still 9restcr merit.
ANXIOUS 70 know the author of these
anonymous contributions, Mr.. Garri-
son made inquiries Of the pOst-rider,
who informed him that each week he
left parcel of papers with boy at q
farmhouse in East Haverhill. Mr..
Garrison at once rode to this secluded
locality, which has since become SO
well known to the readers of aSnow
Bound" where he found the youthful
poet, bashful boy, at work with his
father, who, though man OF excellent
sense, and possessed Of a degree of In
telligence which made him a sort of
oracle among his neighbors, was de-
cidedly unitarian in his views, and
was anything but pleased with the lit
erary tastes of his son. Mr.. Garrison
earnestly entreated him to place no re-
straint upon the poetical tendencies of
the gifted boy who stood before him,
little dreaming that he was destined to
be an efficient co-laborer in the reform
to which he was about consecrating
the best years Of his life, and that the
poet would live to celebrate in immor-
tai verse, the downfall Of American
slavery.
