BARNuM's BALLOON PRoJEcT-Mr.

test the matter thoroughly before build.
ing the large balloon which is to under.
take the Transatlantic journey. With
this view balloon of smaller dimensions
has been built, and Mr.. Donaldson has
been trusted with the guidance of the
affair. The balloon was made at SYRIA
cuse, is constructed Of silk, and will con.
tain about 10000 cubit feet of gas. 1t
is the intention of Mr. Donaldson to make
twelve experimental trips in this balloon
with view Of determining the question
as to the existance of an casterly current,
remaining up each time from twenty -four
to forty-eight hours. The balloon is, of
course, provided with all the instruments
necessary for determining altitude, the
course Of the wind, temperature etc. 1t
is also provided with boat made of some
substance in the nature of India.rubber.
to be prepared for the emergency of fall
ing into the sea. lin each of the twelve
assensions Mr.. Donaldson falls upon an
easterly current, the point will be consid.
cred settled. and the building of the large
balloon will be proceeded with immediate.
ly. The first ascension will take place,in all
likelihood, on the 7th, and after that
there will be two ascepsions each week
until the twelve are completed. The
balloon will be inflated at The Hippodrome,
from whence the ascensions will be made.
1t will cost about $4,000. but the large
one which is intended to follow it will
cost some $4,000 or $4,000.

u terocious crowd gathered quickly about
him. There was plenty of yelling and
hooting, and there would have been vic.

from New York, alleging that Rochefort
had published letter approving of the
murder Of the Archbishop of Paris,
calamity which can hardly be excused.
Rochefort was followed from the pier
to his hotel, and again from the hotel to
the railway station, from which happily
the mob was shut out. He passed through
Cork and Dublin unrecognized. or at any
rate unmolested, though during the day
he and his friend Olivier Pain drove
about Dublin and the neighborhood. In
the evening of Wednesday he left for

to lecture there, with promise Of a warm

MIR. BEECHDR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Unusually touching and impressive
was the Rev. Mr.. Beecher's talk at the
prayer-meeting in the lecture-room of
Plymouth Church Friday evening
The OCCASION was the last of the prayer
meetings for the summer, and he told
the story of his own life, work, and
struggles. Tears stood in his eyes as
he portrayed his own strivings for the
welfare of his kind.
He began his talk by saying that it
was impossible for him to observe any
privacy with his flock or TO keep any
thing secret from them, 1t would be
equivalent to shouting confidential
communication to his friends on Broad
way. The meeting they were at was
the last for three months. The season
was one when sickness was prevalent,
and he as well as others was liable to
be affected. He had been impressed
with the feeling that perhaps he might
never see his flock again. He had
therefore meant as their servant and
as the servant of Christ to say some
thing on this occasion about his person
al ministration. From Il very early
period he had been destined for the
ministry. His father, mother, broth
els, sis}ers, everybody, expected him to
be minister, and he did not know the
exact time of the transition. After
leaving the seminary he crossed the
OHIO river at CovingtOn, where an at
tempt was making to found Presby-
terrain church. Here he had preached
for three or four Sundays, when he
was called by Martha Savage to 90 to
Lawrenceburg, Ind, where there was
church of about 20 members. He an
swered the call and served there about
two years, at the end Of which time he
was called to take charge of a New
School Presbyterian church just estab-
lished in indianapolis. There he
worked for eight years after which he
came to Brooklyn. On coming hither
he had determined to preach the gospel
as power and not as an authority !;
and when those who called expected
him to build up Congregationalism as
an ism" they were much mistaken.
He had worked in Brooklyn for 27
years, and his entire pastorate extend
ed over nearly 40 years. He had gone
into his ministry in Brooklyn with two
living truths before him. One was the
spiritual helplessness of man, and the
other the indefinite spiritual helpful
ness of God, All the rest of his belief
was conventional.
Mr. Beecher went on to speak of the
main springs of his actions. In all his
ministry he had never preached from
personal ambition. He had never
sought place, influence or position. He
had never been displeased with praise
where deserved, but that had not been
the motive of his action. Three con-
siderations had urged him to preach
First, the love he had for God second
ly, the love he had for his fellow men
and, thirdly, he could not help him
self. 1t was in him and would come
out. During his life he had never
spoken or written anything against any
sect. except some articles which ap-
pearsd when he was very young,in the
