naut. He has been in the air great many
times and may be supposed to stand ut the
head Of his peculiar profession. II he has
not yet contributed anything useful to our
knowledge Of the upper regions II Is be-
cause, perhaps, there is nothing new to be
discovered in that line OF exploration. The
expedition has for It's object the OBJ.
sevaton Of phenomena which nay be
available to scientists in general
way, and to the government signal service in
II particular and practical way. The balloon
is equipped with all necessary appa.
ratus for leading scientific facts captive,
but the chief preparation seems to he for
full md accurate accounts Of the trip for
tho newspapers. OF the eight or ten men
who are registered for the voyage six ARE
Journalists representing 80 many Of the
leading papers Of the country A member
of the Government Signal service will also
be Of the company. The plan of the aerial
cruisers was to mount into the air to the
height Of couple Of miles Immediately nf
ter the storm which has been prevailing in
Minnesota had subsidized, and TO follow the
track oithe latter southwardtill the water Of
Lake Michigan is left on the north. Tic
course will then be due east rs far as the
balloon will come One Of the objects Of
the undertaking is to settle the question Of
II west TO east current Of upper air. The
route Of the excursionists has been well
laid out for the accomplishing oil the ends
proposed but In aerial navigation az In all
other human occupations Il Is one thing to
propose and quite different thing to dis.
pose.
The Utica IN. " Herald is reminded by
thisproposed voyage that a hundred years
have gone by since the remarkable discov.
cry was made that n light bag filled with
hot air or any other substance lighter than
the atmosphere would, II freed from the
earth, rise into the upper regions Of the air.
When this fact in nature was found out by
the sons Of Peter MontgolAer the world
stood aghast lthe phenomena. Tho young
men bounded to the front rank OF discov.
efefs and were able to count among their
patrons the nobility Of Europe. Their
work proved to be curious tathCr than use.

Revenge is Sweet.
From the Boston Post.l

Gallagher is satisfied. The facts are
these: Gallagher was the president of a
dramatic club and wrote piece for them.
1t called for nine persons, and every
body IN the cast except Gallagher con-
sidered that he or she had the worst part
and that it was made so on purpose. At
first they didn't propose to play, but
finally decided to do so and concocted q
plan to punish Gallagher. He played
the hero and in the first act said farewell
to his mother and went off to sea. and
when she parted with him she cont1ived
to wrench his head and scratch his nose
on a pin fixed in the shoulder of her
dress for that purpose. That eased her
mind and disturbed his. But he sub
mltted. In the next act he appeared on
shipboard and had to be knocked down
by the cruel captain, who bit him so
earnestly with a belaying-pin that it
nearly killed him. And then when he
headed the mutiny ana cried to the
mutineers, Follow mel" somebody
opened trap and he ignominiouBly fell
through it and got terribly guyed by
the audience. He was awful mad, but
determined to conquer in spite Of the
disaster, and SO came up and went on
with the play. In the third act he was
to have terrible combat with the VII
lain OF the play and whip him. Mr.
Hencoop Smythe played the part. He
was satisfied that he had the worst part
in the piece, and that Gallagher had
made it SO to spite him. Gallagher, as
he clinched him, cried: "Villain, III
beat your life out in two seconds" But
he didn't. The villain was the strongest
man, and the way he lathered Gallagher
about the stage was awful. When it
came to that point where the villain was

he had Gallagher j8mmed under the
table and was beating him with q chair
leg, and of course his speech and Gal
laghers reply: Il viii not spare your
hfe!" sounded absurd. Before the vii
lain consented to be overcome, he had
got the audience TO sbrieking with
laughter and had beaten Gallagher black
and blue ali over. Gallagher went home
terribly enraged, and the rest Of the com
pany were delighted. The piece was 20
be played the next night, and Gallagher
reported himself too III 20 appear. But
he sent a substitute. The substitute was
a prize-fghter, under an assumed name.
He Rugged his mother so IN the parting
scene, that he nearly killed her, and
pulled her false hair off accidentally

AE air Pare.

Here is a strange fact. 1t may seem
to many men, in revising their ex-
perieuce, that they have 10 fairer page
in their life's book than the delicious
memory of some passages wherein az
lection contrived to give a witchcraft to
a parcel Of accidental and trivial circum-
stances. No man can forget the visi-
tations OF that power which was the
dawn in him Of music, poetry and art;
when the youth became a watcher OF
windows, and studio, Of a glove, veil,
a ribbon, OF the wheels OF a carriage;
when the day was not long enough, but
the night must be consumed in keen
recollections. The time when the
moonlight was a poem, the clouds were
faces, and the stars were letters, the
flowers articulate, the air was coined in
TO song: when all business seemed an
impertinence; and all the men and wo-
men running to and fro III the streets
mere pictures. Emerson.

The Sierras of Spain.
[From Macmillan's Magazine. y


The aspect of the sierra is beautiful
and varied, it's vegetation rich and null
tiform. Their monotony does not tire,
nor repetition pail. For the most part
rusticIty holds its own in spite of the
invading farmer with team and pillow,
who usurps what dominion he can, tam
ing the wild young foals by bit and bri-
die, directing the growth OF pines at
will, and stripping the cork-trees-tho8e
ST. Bartholomew of the forest-Of their
skin. Here you find among the crags a
noble sierra lex, surrounded by its pie
belan brethren, the common evergreen
oak ;ata little distance river kisses thefeet
of pensive willow, It's slender branches
dropping over fragrant oleander. Bare
gray rocks rise above waving green
rushes. Tie path taken by our traveller
curled upward amid majestic trees and a
tangle of brushwoOd, fowery, we'll
watered valley lying at his feet Now he
reaches Il spot like q bit of aristCcratic,
well-kept park; now the path narroDs on
sudden and winds round a bare noun
tain peak, where hardly blade of grass
is growing. One fraternal link, the IVY,
binds together such contrasted aspects
Of nature-the ivy, which loves alike the
barren rock and the verdant field, the
wilderness-Hke solitude and the busting
habitations of man. This exuDerant
plant fastens itself everywhere, takes
root in every spot, with the grace and
amiabihty Of youth and the consistency of
Of age. Like a mason, the ivy fills up
crannies and clefts; like sculptor, it
covers the surface of the rock with fes-
toons; and like sister Of mercy, holds
out a sheltering hand TO ruin and desso-
lation. The mountain ivy is the adorn-
ment and luxury Of the sierra, its emer-
aid iewelry neither furnished by heat,
rain nor fog.

HaN in Colorado

Hay Is $500 q ton in San Juan county,
Col. but that IS less than it was in 1860
when the price was % cents pound.
The Virginia City Enterprise says:
O. an old Frenchman made snug little
raise at packing grass up rom T'Iowery
District on an old horse. The grass
grew in lunches about a rod apart, was
about the thickness, OF riding whip,
and from six TO eight feet long. Having
no scales, the old man used to count his
hay out, giving from three to FIVE stalks
for a pound. When this kind Of hay
was criticised by custom ers, the good
old man, who did his moving with a
Ratchet, was wont to say: "Ah, sare, [
agree with you! Zee hay is leetle
coarse, but he IS very succulent. Be
sides L gives zee good weight. l neyaire
