The New York Erening Post deals
thus gently with the " liberal" party -
In its birth it was a monster, and its
few weeks of life were an iniquitous de-.
bauch under the assumption Oft. political
virtue to which it had no claim. Its very
existence was an insult to honest people,
and its pretence Of having survived the
indignation and contempt which over.
whelmed it is, if we take it seriously, an
impertinence without parallel. By u.s.
urpation at Cincinnati and coalition at
Baltimore it postponed for years the phr.
ification of politics; and those measures
of reform, on which depends renewal of
the prosperity of the country, it made i'm.
possible for an indefinite period by vast.
ing the opportunity, that one more game
might be given to parcel of political
gamblers who cared for nothing but po-
litical power and spoils Of office. 1t be.
gan its existence by an act of audacity,
and so long as it lived, from May to No
vember, it served only to feed the love of
notoriety in mediocre men, or the hopes
of WORKOUT political hacks whose careers
were otherwise ended The assumption
of such men that they still form a party
with affinities" and principles" is
more fifty described by the slang term

A FALL FROM THE CLOUDS. --TERRIDLE
DEATH OF AN AERoNAUT -New York,
July ga letter from Iowa gives the
following details of the death OF La
Mountain. the aeronaut "Whcn fully q
half mile from the earth, aud when tho
whole structure looked no larger than a
hoSshead, the balloon slipped between the
ropes and was instantly inverted. The
car and occupant dropped like shot
with the most terrific velocity. the un-
fortunate man cliDgipg to the basket.
That he was conscious was evident from
his struggles. With all the intensity Of
an imperrilled life he sought to seize the
basket above him, evidently hoping to
use it as parachute. He succeeded in
his object, but when about one hundred
feet high he loosed his hold and folded
his hands and arms before bis face. His
feet first struck the ground with a dull
heavy thud. Then ensued panic and
uproar in the crowded multitude. WON.
en- tainted, strong men wept and the car
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 medical examination disclosed the fact
that hardly whole bone was left. Many
we're ground and splintered to powder
His jaws fell upon his arms and were
pulverized, and the blood spurted from
his mouth and cars.
The corpse was laid out and placed OF
the public square, where it was visited
by thousands during the afternoon, ant
was sent home to Brooklyn, Mich, thu
following day.

balloon was seen by several farmers when
it landed, about iorty.fve minutes after
it went up, and about eight miles from
where the ascent was made. Not hear.

estimated that there were 500 men in the
forest at nine o'clock Sunday morning
The balloon was found about eleven O'Clock
