Apple Pies.

Abominatc d,icd apple pies!
like good bread, like good meat,
Or anything that's III to cut;
But Of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dried apple pies.
Give me the toothache or sore eyes,
In preference to dried apple pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit,
Wormy, bitter and hard, to boot
They leave the hulls to make them cough,
And don't take half the pe.ling of:

And from II chamber window hung;
To form roost for ants and flies,
Until it's ready to make pies.

But pass me not dried apple pies!

Yesterday afternoon John III
Shearer, the atronaut, made a fright
ful journey through the clouds in q
snow storm from Pottstown to Coop
ersburgh, Lehigh county, along the
line of the North Pennsylvania Rail
road, q distance Of forty miles, in
less an hour The aeronaut used no
basket, but assembled to the clouds
revolving upon a slender trapeze bar
dangling from the netting of mis- large
balloon. The sight as lie journeyed
on toward the dark banks of clouds
low in the heavens, was one of thrill
ing interest. Perched upon the bar,
after going through some hazardous
eyolutions, tie aeronaut sat looking
down on the assembled multitude.
Clad in the scant costume of circus
performer, he must have suffered in
the damp air of the upper currents
Then he waved his handkerchief and
bowed to the masses below, who were
standing in breathless silence, after
which he shifted his position, went
through more evolutions, and then
sat down complacently On the slender
bar. af1he monstrous air ship, The
Globe" with $4,000 cubic feet of gas,
went rolling off ia The. heavens to-
ward the northeast, and in few mo-
ments afterward the rain descended,
Smaller and smaller the balloon APP
peared, until finally the aeronaut and
his ship went through the clouds,
and was lost to sight. His journey

A SLENDER ROOST.

Shearer is a young man aEUutHDir7
ty years of age, and by occupation is
a clerk i'll one Of the leading hotels
in Reading. For some time past he
has been paying considerable atten-
ton to ballooning, and since his first
trip to cloudland he has made nearly
a dozen ascensions. He has diseon-
tinued the use of basket altogether,
and now he ascends' on a trapeze
bar hanging by two slender ropes at
tached to the balloon netting. It is
quite an interesting study to inspect
the rigging Of his balloon just before
she sails away to the clouds. Occu-
pying the centre of square por-
toned off by ropes and stakes is the
balloon swaying to and fro with the
wind. The netting comes down and
is fastened to an iron ring about one
foot and half in diameter. Two
ropes lead down from this ring, to
1.-THE ends Of which is the trapeze bar.
Around the ring are sand bags, con-
tanning ballast we'll secured. The
bags hang with their mouths down
ward, so that when the aeronaut
wishes to throw out ballast all he has
got to do is to pull d string untying
a bow-knot, when the bag opens and
the sand descends. On the ring also
bangles a white bag something like
a pillow case. This contains the or
binary clothes of the aeronaut, to-
gether with bottle Of spirits and
other refreshments to be used in the
clouds if found necessary to stimu-
late the system and warm up the
body. A barometer is also securely
fastened TO the rlng,' while next to it
generally hangs bundle or two of
printed circulars to be distributed
from the clouds. 1.-The aeronaut gath.
ers the weights, takes an upright po-,
sition on the bar, the ropes are cut,
and up shoots the air ship as buoy
ant as a bird. At the ascension yes
terday he sat down on the bar as the
balloon raised, and before the people
below could anticipate anything of
the kind the aeronaut when 1,OOOl
feet high gave sudden turn and in
tentionally dropped headlong from
his seat and gracefully caught him
self with his right hand, and III this
position sailed beautifully away to-
ward the clouds. When the aeronaut
dropped wild shout of fear and ter
rer went UP from the spectators

Onr Western Corresnondonce.
TOPEKA, KANSAS, Jan. 1, 1874


DEAR TnfEs-One more year has come
and gone, and we have received your regular
visits, always anxiously looked for by all
in our Kansas home. Here the past has
been year of prosperity. In our young
city there has been more expensive build
ings put up than in any one year before.
True the panic affected us, but we only
notice it particularly, in the decline of
goods of different kinds. 1t has had the
affect to turn capitalists to our western
country, seeking investments as surer and
better than stocks or paper gambling. The
last two weeks has brought us four men
that represent one and one-half million
dollars. Our steel and iron works partly
finished, has been bought by foreign cap
italists for Ss1, 900, and is to be completed
and enlarged they have also bought our
Iron King Bridge works. These works
cover over four acres. We have eight
banks, and two fine cut stone bank build
ings were put up this summer. Pomeroy's
trial for the bribery of York, commences to-
morrow. Fifteen cars of cattle went east
yesterday. Cattle dealers are happy, as
their cattle have fed on the prairie up to
this time. This has been remarkable
mild winter, and on New Years day we
set with our doors open. Our town is full
of game; Buffalo meat by the wagon
load, elk deer antelope, quail, prairie
chicken &c. But what seems strangest to
me is that inst as soon nc tho1, cot ,,1o,,4,,
no one wants them. Real estate men say
there is more property selling than there
has been for many years. Last summer
was dry and we had but about two-thirds
of crop, consequently farmers are getting
good prices for all their products. With
this advantage, and the Grange members
in our Legislature, that meets ON the 18th,
for once feel they ought to be content.
Heretofore there has been, fear mistake
in our law makers in making our tax all
payable from the 1st to the 10th of Jan
uary. 1t locks up two hundred and twenty
four thousand dollars of currency for some
sixty days, and Injuries business materially
until it gets into circulation again. The
younger poIIiOn vi our clJlZeDS are having
pleasant winter as they always have.
Among other amusements is Dickens
parties, each guest taking character. l
will unhesitatingly say to any one coming
here that they will find as good and pleas
ant society as they can find in any
country | have ever lived. Young man, do
not settle down until you have seen the
country west of the Mississippi Or the Ar
kansas Valley. The trip need not nsces-
siarly cost you much money OR time. AS
/ said in former letter, the first of March
is the best time to commence in a western
home, then you can raise crop the first
year to live on. The first of May with
favorable summer, however, may do.

Hens Laying While al Roost.

Eggs are very frequently dropped while
the hens are upon the roosts. The only
remedy is to place the roosting poles low,
and have soft layer of sawdust or chopped
straw beneath the hens. Soft eyes are in
dicative of an excited condition of the
ovary from over feeding, at least when
plenty of lime is given. Reduce the feed,
and give only oats, and no meat, cooked
feed, or pepper for week or two.
