A Terrible Balloon Adventure.

Galguani's Messenger says: NJ. Eu-
gene GODDARD made an ascent last week
at Bayonne in his balloon Saturne. He
had with him in the car Vinson, keeper
of woods and forests M. Julien, pyro-
technist of Algiers, aud the editor of r
Bordeau journal. The start took place
at half-past in the afternoon. at a
quarter to 6 the party found themselves
at the frontier, the cold being exceed
ingly keen. AT night, the travellers,
who had got among the mountains,
were obliged to throw out all their bal
last to surmount the Pyrenean peaks.
The wind then began to freshen, the
speed of the ballOn became extreme,
and toward 8 o'clock the snow com
menced falling. Tossed about by diff
ferent currents, and incapable of de-
termining the situation, their anxiety
was extreme. After four hours of suf-
fering, toward 2 in the morning, M.
GODDARD thought he saw some lights, and
prepared to descend but the valve, be-
ing choked up with snow, could not be
opened He then told his companions
that they had but one chance for their
lives, namely, to cut hole in the silk,
and get down at all hazards. The op.
Grafton was effected. and the Saturne
descended with such great Iapidity that
all four were stunned by the fall f; M.
Vinson, who was the first to recover,
saw his friends lying senseless by his
side, and, calling for assistance, was
fortunate enough to make himself heard
by two persons, who aided him in reach
ing Pampeluna, which was not quite
two miles off, He immediately gave
notice to the authorities, and an alarm
having been sounded, the inhabitants
of the place went out in quest of the
other three, and found them in a state
of consciousness, but incapable of NOV
ing. They were all conveyed to the
town, where every attention was paid
them. NJ. GODDARD appeared to have
suffered most, as his legs were much
swelled the others had only some Sc
we're contusions."

A GREAT reduction of wages has taken
place in Germany the past winter.
Two thalers, or S1.50, has been the
wages of city laborers since the war;
before the war it was one thaler, but
this winter it has been cut down to two
thirds of a thaler. Dull and stringent
times are said 20 be prevailing through
out the empire. and if this be true it
will be impossible for the authorities
to restrain emigration as soon as bust
ness revives in America.

THE HAT OF THE SEAsON.-The Chi
cago Inter Ocean has a treatise or wo-
mems hats. in which it says: "You
meet remarkably modest and timid
appearing young lady of to-day, and
you notice that her hat has a meek and
shrinking indentation in the crown.
1t looks as if it wanted to shun the
Wicked world and hang itself up in a
nunaeTy. Tomorrow you meet the
same lady, and what a change! She
appears rs daring as Joan of Arc and
as independent as the president of a
woman's congress. And her whole
appearance is thus altered by pinning
up the front Of that hat Next day
she appears like Il brigand. The brim
is fattened out and her eyes CLEAN fu-
riOusly from underneath as if watching
an opportunity to order YOU to stop
and deliver You see her again. and
the brim is turned up behind, while it
is very flat in front, giving her the ap-
pearance of q female Solon Shingle
trying to find customer for that 'bar'l
Of apple sass Again, and it is pitch
ed on the extreme back of the Lead
reminding you Of Toodl IS in his cups,
when he is assuring the sailor man
that when his father heard of the sailor
mans death me went broken-hearted
to his grave, and died there With
all these advantages it is no wonder
that the reigning hat is popular 1t
is comfortable TO the head-so they say
and it is an ornament or disguise as
required. 1t is demure, jaunty, meek,
saucy, bold, sly, obstinate, conciliatfhg,
tender; whatever you please-every-
thing by turns and nothing long. 1t
is the hat OF the period, however"

EvERYsoDY's TROUBLES.

The earth is ofte1 spoken and written Of
as a place of troable, and human existence
is proverbially one of sorrow. But where
fore the trouble and sorrow? An instant's
reflection win teach us that they cannot as
a rule result from the tremendous aflic-
tions, the vast misfortunes, the agonizing
bereavements that sometimes visit us.
These are in fact rare events in any ones
life; some lives, indeed, may tie said to be
entirely free from them. Wherefore, then,
all our pain, our care and heaviness? 1t is
strange reflection, but no more strange
than true, that the great sum of human
misery is made up of petty miseries. which.
considered singly. seem contemplate, but
which present fearful aggregate of suf-
fering.
A tight boot seems rather a small affair
of itself, yet it is that alone which flls you
with unutterable anguish at Mrs. Tomnod-
dy's party, spoils the whole evenings en-
ioyment, and prevents your making your
self agreeable to Miss Aurifer, the beautiful
heiress. But for that tight boot you might
now be her husband, instead of young
Gosling, who attended the same party
who knows?
A touch of the toothache is neither a
great nor dangerous malady; but it Will
cause you to suffer all the tortures of the
Inquisition, and almost drive you crazy
with pain before you can summon the cour-
age to have it extracted.
Your best friend borrows ten dollars of
you and never repays it. The amount is
not large; you could afford tol lose ten times
as much; but the meanness and ingratitude
of the thing worry you more than would
the sinking OF thousands in any Of the or
dinary ventures Of trade
Your toes are heavily trodden on in a
crowd. Your ribs are sharply elbowed in
the same. You can't make the coal burn
of a winters morning, with the mercury
ten below zero. Some scoundrel steals the
daily paper from your front steps when the
expected news is of great moment. You
go to see Angeline of an evening and find
that prepogterous Wigging there before
you. Your wife hasn't sewed that missing
button on your shirt, and you don't discov-
er it till the garment is on. The steak is
tough. You get soaked by a sudden show
er. Your favorite volume is borrowed, and
returned soiled and dog-eared. These are
but few examples Of the minor ills of life,
which, ost-recurring and unavoidable, con-
spire against cur physical and mental
peace.
The moral is obvious. Be not unduly
chafed and fretted by TRIES, since
"-tley come not single spies,
But in battaloias."
Treat them philosophically, and resolve
to enjoy life despite them, for they are
indeed the little foxes that spoil the vines.

BABIES RIGHTS.

Bless the babies, must 1 come to their
rescue once more? Did not 1 once rise to
explain how they were wronged by having
their hands thrust into mittens, and pre-
sented with sticky candy while thus invest
ed? Haven't spoken piece about the
limp sun-bonnets hanging over one eye, to
the manifest injury and distress of the 9TH

feathers tackled on at various angles to the
knitted, knotted, woolly caps of Babylon.
'Ear-tabs' give an appearance OF mild i'm

tune cover the ears intended. Various lit
tie frills and puffy fronts may be pardoned; ;
but woollen feather-think OF it, A
feather, the very emblem of light and airy
nothings, Of woven mists, or tinted clouds,
or frozen breath-this dainty creation trav-
estied in Berlin wool. Poor little, hot,
tired, bald, baby head, with that bundle of
loops piled up solidly on the organ of ven
Grafton.
For this ornament there always seems to
have been something sacrificed at the back
of the cap or hood; thereverse Of foreshort-
ening is evident, and the baby assumes a
reckless, hardened air, which does not be-
long to it of right. Then, woollen feathers
seem to have a very brief hold on their
foundations, and swing around over one
eye, or back like the tail of a trapper's cap,
in most aggravating manner.
wonder who buy these denominations
am sure mothers don't. Aunts of moder-
ate intellectual capacity would not do it;
and grandmothers would not think OF such
a purchase. 1t must be that fathers buy
them. Yes, know just how they try them
on their folded fists, think woollen feather
isjust as good as an ostrich plume, and SO
bring them home in triumph. It's the
