aeance against capitalists mine-Owners and all the
allied forces which oppressed labor" He found
the time ripe for his demagogism. He secured q
following because he gave expression TO the Wild

bones of the first settlers had been deposited-he

prospect of rich municipal offices to those who fol-

credulous. They acted one man, and almost in
day became formidable political power. With the
heln of a large number OF farmers and small land
owners who chafed under railroad discrimination,
they secured the passage OF the new Constitution.
Then followed the bitter struggle for the State and
city patronage. Kearney had lost much OF bis infu

suspicion that he was IN the market for the party
which would pay the b CHEST price for his services.
But the Workngmen's party had now gained great
power. II secured the local offices and gained
representation in the Legislature which makes its
influence formidable.
The sweeping local victory amazed even the vic
tors And then the comedy began. The Constitu-
ton imposed heavy bonds the new officers. They
were all poor men, and there the widest scram
BILE for sureties. Finally, several officers made the
compact that their bondsnen should have the priv
ilege of naming one or more clerks in the depart
ments. In this way the Tax Collector saddled
with companyRf boyish assistants. many OF whom
could barely read and write, and other officers were
placed in equally embarrassing positions. The

municipal desks could scarcely have been greater

grievance was the salary pledge. The majority Of
the officials had agreed TO turn over into the City
Treasury 90 per cent Of their salaries. They signed
bond to this effect, and socmply declared In ward

The Dark Day, May 10, 1850.

strangest natural phenomenon that ever

was some distant thunder in the south
west, said DR.. Jeremy Belknap, writing
to bis friend Ebenezer Hazard; the
forenoon was cloudy, but the sun ap-
peared now and then. The clouds soon
presented an unusual spectacle, being

You must note that for about ten days

the thrilling adventure of four balloon
lists:
Four French aeronauts, Messrs Gasta, Pom
mariOl. Gauthier and Perron, narrowly es-
capped distraction while making scientific ex-
cursi0ns in the clouds this week. They left
equipped. They were in high spirits and for
they made preparations to descend, i terrific
storm arose. Tho balloon swept on with re-
sistless force over miles and miles of country,
until, to their horror, the aerOnauts suddenly
saw the lights Of Nantes in the distance. BE.
y0nd lay the immense, somber ocean. They
at once saw that they must descend at ali
hazards or perish. Opening the valve, they
came down with n tremendous run, and in
one minute they actually struck the earth
no less than six times. Each time the balloon
rebounded like an india-rubber ball to the
tremendous height Of over two hundred feet.
The travellers chung tenacious,y to tho ropes,
uttered not single word, but grimly prcpar-
ed for death. At last the silence was broken
by NJ. Gauthier, who exclaimed. NY legs are
brOken" The balloon swept ON dragging over
the ground, which 1t regularly plOwed up
wherever It passed. At last the aeronauts
were seen by some peasants, who haste red to
their assistance, and with great difficulty ex-
trfcatcd them from the wreck. The balloon
thus lighteued, rose. and once more dashed
into the forest OF La Rocheservieres, where It
nm. Gssta and Pommaris were no sooner on
terra firma than they tainted. All Of the four
travellers were more or less injured, but they
are happily now out OF danger.

1t can be manufactured at price which
will enable all documents for which

The most important feature of the use
of the palmetto for paper is that it will
