Barnum's Balloon Project.

Mr.. Barnnm's project to send bal
loon across the Atlantic is beginning to
take shape in an experimental way. His
faith in an easterly current is not quite
fixed and abiding, and so he has deter
mined to test the matter thoroughly be-
fore building tk1 large balloon which
is to undertake the transatlantic jour
ney. With this view q balloon OF small
er dimension has been built, and Mr..
Donaldson has been trusted with the
guidance OF the affair. The balloon
was made at Syracuse, was constructed
of silk, and will contain about 10000
cubic feet of gas. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Donaldson to make twelve expert.
view of determining the question as to the
existence of an easterly current, remain
ing up each time from twenty-four to
forty-eight hours. The balloon is, of
course, provided with all the instru-
ments necessary for determining alti-
tude, the course of the wind tempera-
ture, etc. 1t is also provided with a
boat made of some substance in the ma
ture of India rubber, to be prepared for
the emergency of falling in the sea. If
in each of the twelve ascensions Mr.
Donaldson falls upon an easterly cur.
rent, the point will be considered settled
and the building of the large balloon
will be proceeded with Immediately
The new balloon is at present at Syra.
cuse, and will probably be brought tc
New York on Monday. The first ascen
sion will take place, in all likelihood
on the 7th, and after that there will be
two ascensions each week until thu
twelve are completed. The balloon viii
be inflated in the Hippodrome, from
, whence the ascensions will be made. II
will cost about s., 500, but the large on
which is intended to follow it, will cos
: some SIP 900 or $4,000.

ing his rifle on the bank. He then de-
scended the bluff to the waters edge.
He carried with him pistol, 70 shoot

better TO enable him to land them safely.
He had been fishing but short time,
when he heard noise above him, and
looking up, beheld Boggett over him
with an oar appraised to strike him, and
who said. "Now, Harrington, d--you,

and your rifle You've been talking
about my father long enough, and I'm
going to kill you" Harrington immed-
lately raised his pistol and fired, the ball
taking effect in Boggett's breast, ranging
upward and lodging in his LEFT shoulder.
