The Perlla of Balloonine.

Prof. Colgrove and c. H. Williams, man.
ager of Woodward's Garden, San Francisco,
Cal., attempted to make an ascension from
the garden on the 9Th inst. The balloon
was cast loose when imperfectly inflated,
and high wind which prevailed swept the
ba loon along the tops of buildings, ripping
telegraph wires, chimneys, ETC., in its fight
Both occupants were thrown from the car
to the street and injured fatally, the in lated
bag collarsing shortly afterward with loud
report.
On the 28th ult., Prof. Wise, the aeronaut,
accompanied by George Burr, oank teller,
m de an ascent from st. Louis in the bal.
loon "Patbfnder." Nothing has been
heard from the aerial voyagers since, and it
is feared they have met with fatal mishap.
The affair creates intense excitement, aud
brings to mind the fate Of the intrepid Don.
aldson and reporter, who ascended from
Chicago several years ago.

Grants Cigar.

A Chicago dispatch reads as follows
With party of friends, including sever
al ladies', Gen. Ulysses S. Grant dined the
other evening in the public dining hall of
the Palmer House. OF course, when his
presence became known, the guests Of the
hotel made it point to dine at the same
hour. The room was full of fashionably
dressed men and women. Grants demean-
or at the table was watched with natural
curiosity, in order to ascertain how far his
manners had been improved by his trave
and intercourse with the upper circles of
European society. The table at which Gen.
eral Grant and his friends were seated was
remote from the entrance of the room.
When the ex President of the United States
had finished his dinner he tipped his chair
back, and without remark he drew'from his
pocket cigar case. He deliberately Sc
lected large Havana, bit off the end, called
to the astonished waiter for match, lighted
the cigar and sent clouds of smoke right and
left and upward toward the irescoed cei-
| ling. The guests at the other tables looked
upon this proceeding with undisguised
amazement. One lady arose and left the
room. The ladies of Grants party were
somewhat embarrassed, and hastily made
preparations to depart. Grant, however,
exhibited perfect unconcern. He got up
when his friends arose, and slowly walked
the length of the room, his cigar firmly
held at the sharp angle between his teeth
putting vigorously away. AS soon as the
ex-President's party disappeared and the
disgust had subsided, commercial traveller
who had been sitting not far from Grant,
drew a cigar from his pocket, lighted it and
ssuntered down the room, "this is free
country" he remarked, "snd one citizen ID
as good as another, here or any where else.
This occurrance was witnessed by more than
hundred people and is still the talk of the
hotel.

Errors Of Type and Telegraph.

Lately some one attempted to say that
critics asserted Rubens-ein was not correct
player The printers corrected the slur by
making it that he was not 'cornet-player'
which is probably tue. Another, essay
ing to describe certain parsonage as the
great am of local matters, found that he
was the great A. M.'-dreadful charge,
if somewhat vague. According to verac-
ious Western paper, one editor was Mortified
by finding the Death of an Angle-Worm'
heading an obituary instead Of the decorous
Death of an Aged Woman The rascally
7ruth.Seeker had its name set up Turtle
Seeker recently-which was a severe joke
for the turtles. Once paragraph beginning
Miss Dickinson (meanng the eloquent
Ann) appeared with the auspicious start of
The disbursion,' which naturally made the
subsequent remarks somewhat confused. But
the telegraph makes as amusing blunders
as the type. A sentence OF Lord Csrnarvon's
essay ON sermons, at a recent Anglican
Diocesan Conference, was THUS despatched:
The worst-paJ country curate is expected
to preach twice on Sunday with the persua-
siveness of a. journeyman tailor and the
eloquence of a barrow. For journeymau
tailor read Jeremy Taylor, and initial
barrow with capital letter, and all is
right.

DELEGATE Cannon.

According to a Washington despat ch,
Delegate Cannon, of Utah, declares that the
desire to disfranchise Mormons is born OF
hope among impecunious people in Utah
that they will be able to control the offices
and disburse the taxes of Utah if the scheme
of disfranchisement is carried out. Mr.. Can
non denies that he has recently been married
to fifth wife He says also that it woHd
be contrary to all precedent for the house of
representatives to take any action toward
expelling him. If he has offended against
the laws, he is to be tried by the laws, and
not by congress. He refers approvingly to
the grounds taken by General Butler a few
years ago when it was proposed to expel
several members of the house for their con-
necton with the Credit Mobilier specula-
tion. General Butler then declared that the
people OF congressional district might send
known thief to congress if they should
like, and that the house would have no right
to expel him. The people of Utah elected
Mr.. Cannon, knowing HIM to be a polyga-
mist, and that gentleman says the house has
| nothing to do with that fact

NapOleOn's Mother.

The family of Bonapartes were of pure
Italian race there was not drop of French
blood in any of them. Their ancestors had
come from the main land in the early history
of Corsica, and their names are found in the
remote annals of Ajaccio. Carl, Bonaparte
was poor gentleman of excellent breeding
and character, who married in his youth a
young and romantic girl, named Letizia
R,molino, who followed him in his cam
pagns up to the moment of the birth of
Napoleon. 1t is impossible to say how much
the history of Europe owes to the high
heart and indomtable spirit of this soldierly
woman. She never relinquished her author
ty in her family. When all her children
were Princes and Potentates, she was still
the severe, stern Madame Mere. The beau
ty and grace OF Josephene Beaubarnais never
conquered her. the sweet Tyrolese pretti-
ness af Maria Louisa won from her only a
sort of contemptuous indulgence. When
her mighty son ruled the Continent, she wa,
the only human being whose chidings he
reg ,rded or endured. She was faithful in
her rebukes while the sun shone, and wher
calamity came, her undaunted spirit wa
still true and devoted to the fallen. He
provincial habit of economy stood her il
good stead in her vigorous old age; she wa
rich When the Empire had passed away, an,
her grand-ch ildren needed her aid 1t mus
have been from her that Napoleon took hi
extraordinary character, for Carlo Bonapart
though brave soldier and an ardent patrio
in his youth, was of an easy and genial TEN
per, inclined to take the world as he foun
it, aud not to insist too much on having
go in his especial way,-Harper's Magasir

TWO WONDERFUL BOYS IN KENTUCKY.

Two of the most marvellous specimens of
the genus homo have been discovered in Nor
gan county, Ky. They are two boys named
james and Henry Elan, aged respectively
eight and twelve years. These boys talk
nationally are ordinarily intelligent, but are
peculiar in having no hair on their bodies
aud heads. Their skin is covered with heavy
scales like fish. At the elbow, knee and
foot joints the skin is very thick, resembling
the skin of an alligator They never per-
spire,b but turn quite blue when they get heat
ed. They take to water as naturally as fish,
but, strange to say, can't swim. They dive
and crawl along the bottom with great ac-
tivity and delight. They cannot walk bare
footed, their feet cracking open, but have to
wear shoes all the time. Their eyes are large
and round, mot almond shaped, and the lids
are very red. They never wink, and sleep
with their eyes wide open are always in mo
ton when asleep. Their features are said to
be very good and regular. They have tc
keep their bodis creased when no in water
When the body becomes dry the skin cracks
open. Their heads are covered with scales
in lieu of hair. The boys handle snakes
with impunity and delight, frequently guar.
reling over single reptile, but satisfied wher
each has one, and snakes have no antipathy
to them, but follow them as dog does hi
master. The mother of t hese monstrositie
has borne eight children. The eldest,
daughter of sixteen, is beautiful OF form anC
features, and the other children are not a
all peculiar. She cannot account for Ma
ture's freak in their cases.-M, Sterling Ky

Curious Astronomical Fact.

Two persons were born at the same place
and at the same moment of time. After an
age of fifty years they both died at the same
instant-yet one lived one-hundred days
more than the other How was this possible?
not to keep our friends in suspense, the SO.
luton turns on curious, but, with lit
tie reflection, very obvious point in cir
cumnavigstion. A person going around
the world to the west loses day, and to-
ward the east he gains one. Supposing,
then, two persons were together at the Cape
of Good Hope, whence voyage around the
world may be performed in year. If one
performs this constantly to thewest, in
fifty years he will be fifty days behind
the stationary inhabitants, and if the other
sails equally toward the cas-, he will be fifty
| days in advance Of them. One therefore =,
will have seen one hundred days more than
the other, though they were born and died
10 the same place, and at the same moment, ,
and even lived in the same latitude, and
reckoned time by the same calendar.
