A Balloon voyage to the North
Pole.

An Englishman has lately been illus
trating his ideas of a balloon voyage to
the North Pole in the London Graphic.
His plan proposes three balloons sub
stantially connected together, capable
of carrying six men, beside three tons
weight of gear, boat-cars, stores, proVi-
sions, tents, sledges, dogs, compressed
gas and ballast. The triangular frame
work connecting the balloons would be
fitted with ropes, so that the occupants
could go from one balloon to another in
the same manner as sailors lie out upon
the yards of ship, and the balloons
would be equipoised by means of bags
of ballast suspended from this frame
work, and hauled to the required posi-
ton by ropes. Trail ropes would be at
tached to the balloons, so as to prevent
their ascent above a certain height
(about 500 feet), at which elevation they
would be balanced in the air, the spare
ends of the ropes trailing over the ice.
The boat-cars would be housed in for
warmth, and telegraphic communica-
ton kept up with the ships by means of
wire uncoiled from a large wheel
as the balloons moved onward.
This wire, being marked at every five
miles, would also serve to keep record
of the distance traversed. Commander
Cheyne proposes that the balloons start
about the end of May, on the curve of
wind circle, of known diameter, ascer-
tanned approximately by meteorological
observations conducted on. board the
vessel, and at two observatories some
80 miles distant in opposite directions.
1t is estimated that, with knowledge
of the diameter of the wind circle, and
the known distance from the Pole, the
balloons would be landed within at
least twenty miles of the long wished
for goal. There the balloons could be
securely moored; and when the neces-
sary observations at the Pole had been
carried out, a return wind could be Sc
cured for their return, the requisite full
imitation having been made by means of
the surplus gas taken out in COM
pressed condition. The returning voy-
ayers would arrest their course to the
southwark on the parallel of latitude on
which they had left their ship, and the
of their journey, east or west,
would be performed by means of the
dogs and sledges conveyed in the bal
looms

Marrying His Fathers Wife.

The special dispatch to the EUeninS
Net0s yesterday, announcing the elope-
ment of a Kentucky gentleman with his
step-mother, and their marriage at New
Albany, has proved substantially true.
Mr.. Thos. H. Ellis, the junior proprie-
tor of the Ellis House, Bardstown, KY,
and Mrs. Mollie E. Ellis, are the
dran1atis persona of this little sensation.
Whether the elder Ellis is alive or not
we can not presume to say, and if he is,
we would just like to know his opinion
of women in general and sons in partic-
Hlar. Theparties seem apparently we'll
TODD people, and the unnatural son Law
ished considerable money on his wife,
who, no doubt, liked him better as
'sdear hubby" than cold-hearted step
son. When Nes0s reporter called on
the elopists at the Central Hotel, New
Albany, yesterday, they were coolly eat
ing their dinner in a manner of perfect
indifference, and on stating our mission
we were received with a kind of caustic
cordially, Mr.. Ellis remarking that he
was kind of printer himself, and didn't
want any thing in the paper about his
running off; and, furthermore, if we did
print it, he would make cold meat of us.
To show him how badly scared we were,
we went directly to the telegraph-office
and sent that dispatch. Father Kline,
of the German Catholic Church, New
Albany, performed the ceremony max
ing them man and wife, after which they
crossed the river to return as much

The Russian Trophies at Kars.

The Russian trophies in Kars are be-
yond expectation. Three hundred and
twelve cannons, among them AZ field
pieces, whole depots of rifles and re-
volvers, large quantities of ammunition,
stores, and provisions, and about 16, 900
prisoners fell into the hands of the con-
querors. The remainder of the garri-
son must be considered as killed, or as
having deserted. The Russians shut
their eyes with regard to deserters, as
they experience too much trouble and
cost by transporting their countless
prisoners IN this season into the interior
of their ice-shackled country. Whose
ever manages to procure for himself
suit of plain clothes may run away and
make himself comfortable in one of the
villages, or in his own homestead Vol
UNFAIRLY these men will not again join
Mulzhtar Pasha's hungry and neglected
host. The Russian losses do not exceed
1000 men, and are less than had been
originally supposed.-Londo1e Nes0s.

oh word and thing most beautiful!
Our yesterday was hard and dull,
Gray mistS obscured its noOntide sun,
Its evening sobbed and wept in rain;
But to and fro in hiding night
Some healing angel swift has run,
And all is fresh and fair again.
Oh word and thing most beautiful
The hearts which were of cares so full,
The tired hands, the tired feet,
So glad of night are glad of mornl
Where are the clouds of yesterday?
The world is good, the world is sweet,
And life is new and hope reborn!
oh word and thing most beautiful!
oh coward soul and sorrowful,
Which signs to note the ebbing light
Give place to evenings shadOwy gray!
What darkness heals the wrongs of day,
And dawning clears all mists of night?
oh word and thing most beautiful!
The little sleep our pain to lull,
The long, soft duSk-then full sunrise!
To waken fresh and angel fair,
Life all renewed and grisfs forgot,
Ready for Heavens glad surprise,
So Christ, who is our light, be there.

All the Rage.

1t was late when Mr.. Cheerybles re-
turned home the other night-as late as
II O'Clock. Mrs. G. was abed, but not
in the somnolent embrace of Morpheus.
She heard her husband stumble into the
house, and then all was quiet for Is
minutes. Then she stole quietly down
stairs, expecting to- find Cherrybles
partly under the sitting-room table
asleep; but she was disappointed. That
individual was sitting in the middle of
the floor with a suspicious-looking black
bottle in one hand, mucilage brush in
the other, and a lot of fancy pictures
strewn over the carpet. "Why, what
on earth are you doing here, Cherry
blesP" asked his wife, as she entered the
room. 'I'm-hic-I'm decorashin'
this stone Thar for yer, me dear, hic!
Fish short o. shing is all Ter rahge now.
Don't thish look bully?" holding up the
bottle, to which a picture hung here and
there in a rather demoralized and inc
briated manner. "Come to bed, you

swept out of the room, while CHEEKY
Oles soliloquized: "Mrs. C.-hic's-
mad. Guessh she donno I'm decorash-

snoring in four languages Norristown

A War Correspondents AdVen-
ture.

arrived at Kars just when the occu-
patton of all its outworks by the Rus
slams had become an accomplished fact
The Turkish dead lay by scores in and
behind the trenches wherever 1 looked,
all frozen stiff in the attitude in which
they had expired. Hundreds of big
wild dogs gnawed the bones of the nu-
merous dead horses, whose skins, how
ever, had been previously fayed by
some hardy speculator. One of the hor-
rid brutes snuffed greedilyl at dead
Turk. A Russian soldier, however,
drove the animal away with the butt
end of his musket. Suddenly gen
darme rode up in wild haste, shouting
and gesticulating, "Take care! Don't
you advance. The Turks will attack
you'll" I did not understand at first
what he meant, but felt uneasy on see
ing the soldiers slide behind the rocks,
preparing and leveling their rifles.
This induced me to stand aside. At
last the mystery was disclosed. Some
fifty well armed horsemen, recog-
nizable as Turks by their pink fezzes,
dashed with changing hoofs over
the bridge, fast pursued by squad of
Cossacks. The situation became rath-
er critical for me, as 1 was crammed in
between the barbarous riders and the
Russian soldiers. 1t was evident that
the Mussulmans, relying on the excel
lence of their horses, had the intention
of breaking on this side through the
stragglers, riding for life and liberty.
Luckily for them and me, however,
when they had crossed the bridge and
found themselves engaged in the rayine,
through which the road runs. with some
twenty breechloaders pointed at them,
they halted and deliberated. Time
pressing, they surrendered to the Cos
sacks. As they had wounded and killed
some Russians, shooting behind them
after the Parthian fashion, in their pre-
cipitous flight, they were not too tender
ly handled. The Cossacks pulled them
off their horses, and stripped them in
twinkling of all they possessed, includ-
ing their animals. Had broker been
present he might have concluded excel
lent bargains. I refused an army re-
volver which Cossack rendered to me

Lines to BeSs.

BY LAW STUDENT
Believe me, Bess, when L declare
A titIe-deed my heart,
And you the party of the first,
And the second part.
To you I've given my whole love,
With no Remainder over;
If you betray that trust, will
An action bring-Of troVer.
Now don't Demur when this you read,
But own you feel conjunction,
Or Imy suit will Prosecute,
In spite of your Injunction.
My Case-it's one in Equity
I've Pleaded with precision;
You know the Points: why will you, then,
So long Reserve Decision?
You owned to an Attachment once,
When the question Mooted;
But now it seems to me you act
AS if you were non suited.
make no Dilatory Plea;
Pm driven to distraction;
You know how long I've Courted you;
Come, in nay case, Take Action.
If you resist Civil Suit
I'll bring at Cupid's Session,
And there, Plaintiff lover, ask
For Judgment by Confession.
But, if, in spite of Judgment mine,
You will not hear me still,
I'll get an Order from the Court
To administer your Will.
Don't fail to File an Answer Brief
To this, my Declaration,
Lest, losing patience, shall make
A Cross Examination.
