YOUTHFUL AERONAUTS.

When Mr.. John Wise was lost il
his balloon called Pathfinder" sew
eral weeks ago, the newspapers printed
many accounts of trips made into the
air, some by brave men and some by
foolish ones. A lady who lives in the
town of Centralia, in the State of Ill;-
nois, said nothing until all the rest
were through talking Then, one day
last week, she told the editor of the
st. Louis Republican to look into the
number of the Republican that was
printed on the 2lst day of September,
1858 The editor looked and found an
account of how two little children took
a trip in balloon all by themselves.
On that day an aronaut, named
Brooks, filled his ship with gas on the
farm of Mr.. Harvey, who lived near
Centralia. He expected to sail in the
afternoon. About noontime Mr.. Har-
vey put his two children into the bas-
ket of the balloon just to please them,
and not thinking for moment of anv
danger. The balloon was tied to
tree by ropes. All at once a gust of
wind broke the ropes and the balloon
shot up into the sky with nobody but
the two children in the basket. Mr..
Harvey was wild with grief and
shouted aloud: "They're lost, they're
lost" All the neighbors ran to the
spot only to see the balloon drifting
off north and more than a mile high.
One of the children was girl, Nettie,
eight years cid, and the other was her
little brother, Willie, four years old.
Both cried when they found them
selves leaving the ground and going
on very, very strange journey in
deed. Nettie looked over the edge of
the basket and saw her father wiring
ing his hands away below. Soon the
people looked to her like babies and
the houses like toy houses. She and
Willie were going up, up, up all the
time. II expect we are going to hea-
ven, Willie" said Nettie Willie
thought it was very cold in heaven
then, for the higher they went the
colder it grew Nettie wrapped Will
lie in her apron and held his head fast
in her lap until he cried himself fast
asleep. Then Nettie folded her hands
and waited. 81 think we must be
near the gate now" She meant the
gate of heaven that she had heard
about in Sunday school, But Nettie
fell asleep, too. When she awoke she
found that some strange man was lift
ing her from the basket. The strange
man was farmer in Northern Hi
nois, who had seen a balloon drifting
low down across his field The rope
was drag ging and so he caught it and
landed the children safely. The bal
loon had foated al night Nettie and
Willie's father soon learned that they
had been found, and took them home
two days afterwards. Nettie is now a
woman--thc very same one who told
the Republican to look back in his
files for the story

NE w ZEALAND CHERRIES.

Yesterday fruit dealer on Market
street, incensed at the liberties taken
by the loafers with his wares display
ed at the door, placed half gallon of
Cayenne peppers in basket, labeled
it New Zealand Cherries" and hung
it in conspicuous place in front of his
stand. In few minutes the next-door
merchant sauntered up, inquired how
trade was, picked up a New Zealand
cherry, placed it in his mouth, and
suddenly left to attend to customer
Rev. DR.. Bolly next rounded to, OBJ
served that the yellow fever news
from Memphis was not very encourag-
ing this morning, and-ah! it had
been years since he had eaten a New
Zealand cherry; whereupon he ate
one, remarked that it was superb,
wiped his weeping eyes on his coat
sleeve, supposed that New Zealand
was getting warmer every year, wished
the dealer good morning, and departed,
la.nenting the growing weakness of
his eyes in the sunlight. A chronic
dead-beat then came up, took mouth
full of cherries, spluttered them out,
with an imprecation, all over the fruit,
stuffed pear, a banana and bunch
of grapes into his mouth to take out
the taste, informed the dealer that he
would have him prosecuted for keep
ing green fruit, and went down the
street to fre-plug, where he sat wip-
ing tears for an hour A lady with
two children next appeared, stopped to
admire the cherries, asked if she
mightn't just taste them-she never
had seen any before-supplied the
children and walked away-walked
away with face fiery with scorn and
anger, while the children set up
howl that brought all the people to the
doors and windows, and drove all the
policemen off the street Thus the
fun went ON all the morning. The
fruit dealer never laughed so much in
his life The occupants of the adjacent
and opposite shops, and shoal Of
small boys, soon learned what was up
and watched and joined in ringing
roar as each new victim tried the
cherries. Finally a solemn-looking
countryman lounged up, inquired the
price of them 'ere New Zealand cher
ries, invested in pint, put one in his
mouth, took it out again, gave the
fruit-dealer a lingering look of mild re-
proach, pulled OFF his coat and "waded
into" him. When he left, the fruit
man with tendencies to practical jokes,
had blue eye, red nose, purple
face, a sprained wrist, and several
bushels of fruit scattered among the
small boys, while the same ringing
roar of laughter was going up from
the lockers on.-DetrOU Free Press.

HOW SMITH LOST 4 CASE.

The court and jury, as we'll as spec
tators, generally enjoy the scene when
a lawyer, in an attempt to browbeat a
witness, comes off second best in an
encounter. A correspondent recalls an
amusing incident of this sort, which
happened a few years ago in an Albany
court room
The plaintiff, who was a lady, was
called to testify. She got on very well
and made favorable impression on
the jury under the guidance of her
counsel, Hon. Lyman Tremain, until
the opposing counsel, Hon. Henry
Smith, subjected her to sharp cross
examination. This so confused her
that she fell to the floor in a swoon.
Of course, this excited general SYM
pathy in the audience, and Mr.. Smith
saw that his case looked badly.
An expedicnt suggested itself by
which to make the swooning appear
like piece of stage trickery, and thus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady's
face in swooning had turned purple
red, and this fact suggested the new
line of attack. The next witness was
a middle-agcd lady, whom the counsel
asked:
"Did you see the plaintiff faint a
short time ago 2"
Eyes, SIR"
"People turn pale when they faint,
don't they ?"
A great sensation in the court, and
an evident confusion of witness But
in moment she answered, "No, not
always"
odd you ever hear of a case of
fainting where the party did not turn
pale 2"
"Yes, sir"
''When %

"Where was it ?"

intense that everybody listened very

the room, in which the aged Judge

japanese Winter Sports.

Most of our younger readers think of
Asiatic countries as warm, because
India, with which we are best acquainted,
has no winter like ours. But Japan has
genuine winter, with snow and ice.
And the japanese children indulge in
the same kind of winter sports as are
common in this country. 80 "-it
A recent visitor from England saw
many fine snow-image made by the
boys, with pieces of charcoal for eyes,
and charcoal streak for the mouth.
He also looked on at many boys battle
with snow-balls, and concluded that
they had better tempers than boys in
England, as none of them seemed to get
angry, though hit often and hard.
Their shoes don't get wet like ours, as
they are made of wood, three inches high,
but when the snow is deep, their feet are
wet and cold, as there is no upper cover
ing. The English visitor thought the
Jap boys the happiest and merriest chill
dren he had ever seen.
