swung round, and then dropped into the
water. Thirty minutes after leaving the
gardens the excursionists were inland
about ten miles west of Alameda. Some
cuss in Alameda tried his aim, and fred
a shot at the balloon; the sound was dis.
tinctly heard by all in the car. In Ala
media, Barber, against the protests of
Buislay, opened the valve when the car
was within two hundred and fifty feet of
the ground.
A strong wind was blowing at the
time, and the balloon was going at the
rate of a mile minute. BuislaY said it
would not be safe to land, and protested
so strongly against it that four bags of
ballast were thrown out, and the balloon
rose seven hundred feet, skimming along,
and passed over Alameda. Thirtv.eight
minutes from the time of starting the an.
chor was dropped, with one hundred feet
of rope, being at the time about two miles
directly west from San Leandro. The an.
chor dragged for about an eighth of a
mile, caught on a fence, which was bro
ken to pieces, and then caught on a
shanty occupied by Murillo, on the Estu-
dillO rancho, the windows and sash of the
house being torn out.
The rope, one and a quarter inches
thick, broke next and the balloon bounded
up suddenly distance of four hundred
feet. Mr.. Irwin heard a quick snap and
a tear, and, on looking up, discovered q
large opening in the balloon, and the
verdict was promptly announced that
"The balloon was burst" Orders
were then given for all hands to
get to the bottom of the bas-
ket, as close as possible. The car came
down slanting, with terrible velocity,
struck the ground heavily and capsized.
The wind again sent the balloon up, and
the seven occupants, huddled together un-
derneath the basket with ropes and sand
bags, were dragged for three hundred
yards, rolling on top of each other, and
being squeezed and jammed as though
they were sardines, and utterly helpless
The balloon at this time was in the
grounds Of the county hospital at San
Leandro. The lives Of the seven excur-
sionists were saved by the timely arrival
of parties in the hospital, who ran to their
rescue, caught the Car, turned it over, cut
it from the balloon, and extricated the
occupants. Mr.. Irwin was the first to be
helped out, and he in turn helped Buis-
lay, whose arm was caught in one of the
rings attached to the car. Miss Gaugain
was the last out, being the undermost.-

Bound to Get Married.

On the Goth of March last a wedding
came OFT in Adams street, where a Miss
H. married a gentleman from Hamilton.
The young lady, aged twenty-four years,
was as attractive as any in our city. She
was accomplished, we'll educated, refined,
and came from respectable family, who,
however, did not possess a sufficient
amount of filthy lucre, commonly called
greenbacks, goods, chattels, etc., to rank
among the upper tendon. The father had
once been a farmer and deputy sheriff of
this county. The young lady had once
been married, but from incompatibility
of temper, or some other of the many ex-
cuses so prevalent at the present time, had
obtained a divorce from her husband and
moiety of $4,000. This, however, only
filled the void in her aching heart for
time, ana she cast about for lover.
Fortunately or otherwise, gay young
bank cashier then formed her acquaint-
ance, which soon ripened into an engage
ment-we cannot say love. Now this
young man enjoyed the reputation Of hav-
ing Tilted other fair young damsels, and
this came to the ear of his betrothed.
She determined she would not be out
done by him in case he failed to come TO
time: The night for the wedding was
fixed tor the Goth. But a few days previ-
GUS to the appointed time a mysterious
dispatch comes from Pennsylvania call
ing our gay cashier to that State. Ru-
NOR says that it came through the influ-
ence OF the relations of the young man,
who, being rich and aristocratic, are op-
posed to the match as natural conse-
quence. We have understood that it is a
rule among the nobility of our land, as
unalterable as the laws Of the Medes and
Persians, that none of noble or blue"
blood shall mate with plebeians. In the
estim alton Of our cashiers blue blood rel
atiyes the expectant bride was plebeian,
and the law must not be trangressed
1namOrata is shown the dispatch and
informed by the lover that he will surely
be back before the day named. He bids
her fond ~ farewell, and with treachery
| in his heart and his love in his coat-tail
| pocket he hies him away to the lord of
the "dusky diamonds.' The fair lady
mistrusts her Leander THAT is not his
name, but it is near enough) and accord
ingly telegraphs to Mr.. H., of Hamilton,
to be on hand on the evening of the Goth,
and if the absent lover does not appear
she will make hsna (Mr. H.) happy. The
Pennsylvania lover soon telegraphs that
the wedding must be postponed-that he
cannot reach home in time But the
wedding didn't postpone. The guests
assembled, the bride waited patiently
the hour arrived-the minister stood
waiting--friends were anxious to con-
gratulate her, and she was anxious to be
congratulated. Mr.. H. takes the place of
Mr.. T. (oh! Mr.. Cashier, we mean), and
all went merry as a marriage bell. The
happy couple were congratulated and
went off on their wedding tour, the old
shoe was thrown after them and quiet
reigned supreme. Now the absent lover
whose love was conquered can return
and prepare for other and more brilliant
conquests. IN. " Courier.

" Don't, Charley"

"Don't, Charley" came to my ears in
sweet, musical tone, while was seated
in railway-car last summer. I should
not have heard the soft, touching voice
had it not been very near me. l looked
to see who it was that had spoken and
saw sweet, beautiful woman upon the
seat in front of me. A halfsad look
rested upon the young face that was all
aglow with love and tenderness. A
young man was seated by her side whose
face wore restless, dissipated look, and
in moment comprehended it all. His
face was flushed slightly, and knew why
it was thus. He was talking very fast to
some one in advance of him and once I
heard a low oath. "Don't, Charley"
she said again, in the same sweet voice.
But Charley did not seem to heed her
words, but went on in a half-wild way to
the man. Several more oaths came from
his lips; but the woman remained silent,
yet looking so pleadingly at the erring
one that thought, if he had been half
human, he would have needed the mild,
loving reproof that was SO visible in her
tear-dimmed eyes.
A friend by my side whispered in my
ear, They have been married just one
year."
HE is BRUTE" only said in reply =
At that moment saw the young hus-
band wink slyly to the man and then they
both arose and went into the baggage car,
understood the movement when saw
bottle protruding from the husbands
coat pocket.
"Don't Charley; don't co." the young
wife had pleaded before he had got be-
yond her reach; but he tore himself from
her slight grasp and rushed along. Her
eyes filled with tears and low moan
came from her pale lips, and then she
bowed her head and wept silently.
He came back in few moments, his
face flu< he'd still more and his voice was
key or two louder than before. He
brushed rudely past the wife, evidently to
get near the carwindow.
"Let me alone, Mag" he said, as she
laid her white hand upon his arm.
Women are always in the way" he said,
again turning to the man in front of
him.
The wife turned away, and I did not
hear her sweet, reproving voice again.
How pitied that young, loving wife,
and how often wonder if her. sensitive
heart must suffer and bleed for many long
years! I think not; for her tender, low
ing soul and frail, slender body will not
bear such unkindness. Strange how soon
liquor will transform human beings into
unfeeling monsters, and chill the ardent,
loving nature of a tender husband and
trusting wife! - american Temperance

A Balloon Adventure,

Secours," yesterday afternoon, from
Woodward's Gardens. The entire after
noon was occupied in initiating the
monster, and when it left on its sail in
the air contained about sixty thousand
feet of gas. At half-past three O'Clock
everything was in readiness and the pas
sengers took their seats in the car. They
were Miss Marie Gaugain, Miss Alice

ter of A. c. Burlington; August Buislay,
VIM. Marriott, Joseph Erwin, H. Guisou-

false start was made, and at forty-six
minutes past three o'clock Barber gave
his command, "All hands let co." an / the
balloon shot up like rocket, and con-
tinued quickly on its course across the
city to Hunters Point, rising to height
OF 1900 feet, going in southerly direc-
ton, and then turning round skinned
across the bay, being at a point opposite
San Leandro in twenty-one minutes after
starting from the gardens. A carrier
pigeon was here let out of the basket
with dispatch stating that pleasant
trip had been enjoyed, and closing, "Tell
