SURPRISING FLIGHTS OF TIE Won

SURPRISING FLIGHTS OF THE Won
DERTUL ~WoMAN.-Wednesday morn
ing a number Of the press assembled,
by invitation of Manager Ford, at the
Academy of Music, to see Mile. Ariel,
the wonderful flying damseuse, who is
to appear next week in the spectacular
production Of the 'Noyagers in South
ern Seas The newspaper men were
invited to seats near the stage. and
shortly Mile. Ariel appeared. She Is "a
petite and pretty woman, We'll proper
tened, and wore a red and black suit.
She is not over five feet liz height, and
weighs about 50 pounds. Standing in
the centre of the stage she made her
bow to the audience, and suddenly, with
a most graceful little jump, lcaped Iii
rectly upward. and was out Of sight
among the flies of the theatre. SO
quick and gracefully was the feat per-
formed that the critics were startled,
but as soon as they recovered burst
forth in a hearty round of applause.
This upward flight IS one of the most
difficult and beautiful OF all the lady
flying feats. 1t is a fight of sixty feet.
She uses no spring, but has the most
complicated machines ever put on the
stage. 1t was but a short time before
she appeared on the stage, entering
from one of the wings, and every one
asked how she got down. Mile. Ariel
then tripped lightly to the centre of
stage, and, with a most graceful mo
ton, suddenly sprang into the air about
twenty feet, coming down again only to
execute some steps, and followed with
another flight This was followed by
her flying upward and alighting on the
outstretched arm OF her ballet master (;
then another flight upward, and com
ing down on his baud. She then danced
to the left Of the stage, and made ali
upward fly and described an arc in the
air. But n of her most pleasing and
surprising fights was from right side OF
the stage, and then a perpendicular
downward flight to the place whence
she started thus, describing a perfect
triangle in the air. She gave several
other flights. In all her movements
she is graceful, light and surprising.

As for the ball on the evening Of the
4th o! March, it will surpass in size, !
firmly believe, anything we ever heard
of. The building in which it is to be
held (that of the new National
Museum) covers nearly three acre,
Of ground, and is admirably ar
ranged for the purpose and not
a square yard of room will be wasted.
1t is in the heart of the grounds OF the
Smithsonian Institution and in the
evening the trees will be hung With
thousands OF lanterns, and the walks
and drives illuminated by the calcium
lights, electric light and locomotive
lights. The effect can be imagined.
But the ball Will have its drawbacks.
The tickets have been fixed at s. each
and thus far, ii it said, more have been
sold to colored men than to their white
brethren. There is scarcely a darkey

A Character Sketch.

The mule seemed pensive. ever sad.
As If by conscience pricked;
But when they came to share his woes
He raised objectIons-kicked.
The cat came up to .ympathizs,
With new and gentle purr;
Aiasl she got within his reach,
Notwithstanding apd iur.
The dog, in pity, neared him to
Alleviate his care;
He tried to pass around him once,
But-sausage meet and hair.
And join, the honest farmer boy
Who had the beast in charge,
Trisd recklessly to harness him
His funeral wa. large.
Oh. t~rifiing we're the cause which
His tisxile legs nnfurled;
And many were the qusdlupeds
That sought another world.
He V did a decent thing;
He wasn't worth a ducat;
He kicked and kicked until he died,
And then he kicked the bucket.

the men, utterly exhausted. was ready
to succumb, but his companion bound
him to the boat with a rope, and thu.
prevented his obstruction. Finally
they were carried bv the wave to with

Mr.. Edtt0r.-Thc long and interest
ing letter from your correspondent of
Louisburg, reminds me that it is not
often We hear from FraLklinton through
the columns of your paper. and al
though not Il resident of the place, au
near enough to feel Il lively concern
that her senior sister shall not have y
prior place III the estimation OF stran
gers. Though MAJ not he able to
'sing as swsetly" a. your Louisburg
correspondent, | will yet say a few
things, in behalf of our httie town.
Situated favorably as Frankiinton i,
the people have not betn indifferent to
her advantages, and have improved
them greatly, as can be seen III the u
creased activity of every line OF bu>i-
ness.
Mr.. j. G. Hines. assisted by Misses
Meta Hicks, of Oxford, and Miss Hines.
of kittrelis, has a large mixed school in
successful operation while Miss Leila
Norfieet, of Franklin, Va, has charge
of the Baptist school. Each school is
fully endorsed by its patrons, and the
healthy location and numerous advan-
tages offered in the situation of them,
will no doubt cause them to be yet more
largely %patronized. Louisburg, even
her anticipated railroad, Will have only
one advantage over Franklinton, and
that is in the proprictorship of a news
paper, and, l think, our prosper
Gus Institutions Of learning, will per,
haps counterbalance that advantage.
The farmers around. have beenthrown
back UNUSUALLY late, by the severity Of
the weather, but are now working with

awake to their interests, and the better
