Considerable interest is now felt in
ballooning, and the lovers of aeronautics
are evidently determined that some-
thing shall be done to increase the
usefulness Of this department. of science.
The balloon society formed in England
some months ago is now followed by a
similar association in Berlin which in
tends to hold an aeronautical exhibition
at some time during 1882. Among the
plans proposed to the British Balloon
Society, is that of balloon to be kept
under control by means Of compressed
gas. The gas would be stored in a
suitable tank under pressure, and the
balloon would be reduced in size or en-
larged at pleasure by admitting or with
drawing gas, which might he effected by
simply turning a crank. The balloon
would Of course fall when reduced in
size and rise as it became expanded, so
that ballast and waste of gas would be
unnecessary. Improvement in another
direction is still sought by aeronauts who
are striving to travel considerable dis
tances in Predetermined courses. Little
success has attended these efforts. The
most important ballooning scheme now
before the public is Commander Cheyne's
project for reaching the North Pole. He
proposes to travel by sea as far s'prac-
ticable, and to complete the distance to
the pole in immense balloons. It is to
be sincerely hoped that the thought and
money now being devoted to air naviga-
ton may lead to useful results. Pro-
gress thus far has been very slow, and it
must be confessed that little material
advance has been made since the time of
Montgolfier.

On recent occasion the bread distrib-

Algeria, was found to he mouldy, al
though made only forty-eight hours
before. Refusing to eat it, the men
threw it to their horses. Two of the
latter ate each about pound of the
bread, which resulted in true poison
ing, seriously injuring one of the ami
mails. The bread was investigated by
NJ. Megnin, who found upon it two

who was married couple of weeks ago
to DR.. Webb, son of Gen. Webb, at one
time Minister to Brazil, and formerly
editor and owner of the New York Courier
and Enquirer. The reception was not
large AS receptions go-but it was very

The interior of this palace is marvel of
beauty and wealth; the rarest genius of
our time has contributed to its adorn-
ment, and the earth has been ransacked
to furnish it, and it is beyond all ques-
ton the most magnificent private house
on the American continent.
We are just new entering on an era of
extravagant living-the like of which
this country has never seen before. The
style of living in fats in magnifcently-
appointed houses is becoming quite
common with people of wealth. Houses
are now erected eight and ten stories
high, with three or four complete suites
OF rooms on every floor Into these suites
of apartments are introduced every
modern convenience the houses are all
heated by steam, controlled in each
apartment There is large dining
room, drawing-room, a reception-room,
kitchen, library, and five or six chambers.
Parties of gentlemen are now clubbing
together and putting up these houses at
cost Of from $3.50, 1000 to $500, 900, and
there are still others costing over a
million. Rich tapestries, costly hang
ings, statuary, paintings, and articles of
bric-a-brac load the rooms in all parts.
The change in the style of living during
the. past five years is almost without
precedent in the history of the world.

from his country during that time,
returning to Ney York will find himself
a stranger in the land Of his fathers.
The weather has played pitch and toss

PASTOR DANKwART.

PCMEKAN1A. loUt.
Twas in the Northern German land
Fast by the Baltic Sea,
When the French Emperor sent his troop
To bend the peoples knee,
And dwell within their houses,
Feasting on wine and corn,
Till German hearts should learn to feel
The might Of foreign scorn.
They came to Bodenstede,
A hamlet green and still,
With fountain in the market-place,
Where maids their pitchers fill.
They overran the village street,
They overran the inn,
They stole the peasants ripening crops,
And strove the maids to win;
And up and down throughout the. night
They sang their ribald song,
While hidden evils darted forth
To join the lawless throng.
How fair was Bodenstede!
But deeds the Frenchmen wrought
Among her pleasant summer fields
No peaceful harvest brought.
The people seized the soldiers,
And bore them to the strand,
And shipped them to a barren shore
Within a hostile land,
And then returned rejoicing;
But he, the nations fate,
Quickly dispatched q mightier corps
To hold the conquered state.
Alas fort lBodenstede;!
How sad the sun uprosc
That day the foreign flags returnedi
Before his golden close!
Rode forth Commander Mortier:
Seize all the men," he cried,
"Who rule in Bodenstede,
And place them side by side;
"And at the signal given,
Shoot each man where he stands,
They that remain shall live to see
Their blazing homes and lands"
Then forward stepped the pastor;
His eyes were bright as flame;
Z" If any man is shot, shoot me!
Mine is the guilt and shame.
81 bade the people to revolt,
And drag the men away;
sent them to the Swedish shore;
Twas urged on the fray.
Hear me, U sire, how innocent
These people surely are;
l pray thee EuFH my gWlLv TOOI,
But all the others spare"
The stern Commander Mortier
Heard what the pastor said,
One moment stood irresolute,
Then turned his horses head
And putting spurs to flank, they rode
Out from the wondering town;
And as they passed, the word was given,
'These fsher-huts burn down!'
A few poor sheds where no man dwelt!
No blood that day was spilled,
And thus Commander Mortier
The Emperor's law fulfilled.
Those battle-felds are overgrown,
Dim is their glory now;
But Virtue ever wakeful shines;
The stars are on her brow.
The pastor in his flowing gown,
Before the armed host,
Joyfully giving life and home
If he may save the lost:
Deep in the German fatherland
This rooted memory grows,
And safe within the children's heart
The living picture glows.

MY DEAR FLoRR1E:
How do you suppose have been anus
ing myself to-day, and consuming all the
idle moments, or rather hoursi Why,
by acting as amanuensis to my esteemed
brother-inlaw. Could you have peeped
into his sanctum and seen mo hard at
work at the desk, aud he comfortably
ensconced in luxurious easy chair, you
would at first glance have ascribed the
chief work to me and voted him lazy,
perhaps. But the mental work was his
II simply had to write with great rapid
ity his swiftly flowing sentences. Imust
confess his haeacy was little distracting
occasionally, and proved for the first
time in my experience, slightly irksome
to my fingers, at least! Happily, am
so rapid a writer that I managed quite
fairly to keep pace with even his vo!u-
bility, and he declares am becoming a
valuable assistant. l wonder at his ap-
probation of all amanuensis, for the pen
is always an inspiration to me, and /
don't think I could ever dictate satisfac-
torily.
You know / told you in a previous
letter Of Edwin Booths projected visit
to Houston. You may imagine how JOY
full we all were at the prospect of seeing
that eminent tragedian, aud how this
pleasure loving city has been on the tip
toe of expectancy these many days in
consequence thereof. Judge, then, of our
crcst-fallen condition when the edict
went forth, few days ago, that Calves
ton alone would he honored with his
presence. Some misunderstanding arose
between the managers of the respective
theatres, and while they were trying to
adjust their differences amiably, Booth
made his plans to appear in one Texas
town alone. Well, there was certainly
no use in crying over split milk, and the
most sensible and remunerative method
of neutralizing the disappointment would
be to proceed in body to the "Island
City" for the purpose prepense of seeing
with our eyes and hearing with our ears
this greatest living actor.
Do not imagine that I am about to
descant upon SO trite subject as the SUI
periority of Mr. Edwin Booth as all actor.
1or his merits are too we'll known through
out the length and breadth of the land,
to require a single eulogium from my
humble pen. hope you will all have an
opportunity of seeing him in the Cres-
cent City, which place understand lie
contemplates visiting next week. He
will stop on the way at Mr. Joseph Jeffer-
sons charming home on Orange Island,
near Yerm;lionville. By the. way, Floy,
did you know that Mr.. Jefferson married
the daughter of clergyman Does that
strike you as an incoDgruous marriage!

BEN BosEN..'

II. c. DODGE.
Ben Bosen was sailor man,
But not a man assailer,
Therefore lie would not whale man,
But only man whaler.
He'd sail the seas and seize sail,
And when he'd heave the lead,
He would be led to heave and, pale,
Throw up the sponge, most dead.
He'd eye his pipe and pipe his eye
When smoking was forbidden;
When wet he'd say that he was dry,
And search for liquor hidden.
Sometimes he'd see a ship; sometimes
He'd only ship sea.
The climes he saw were mostly climbs
Upon the mast to see.
Ben's hard-tack was to tack the ship;
Yet never man was sooner
Than he, when in the slip, to slip
And quick attack I" schooner"
He was aboard when on the sea;
When on the shore boarler;
Though not a boarding pirate, he
Was then pie rate boarder.
Though Ben could rot direct at sea,
At sea he could die wrecked;
His resurrection day would be
The day they'd raise her wrecked.
One day shark went swimming by,
And Ben, alas, he filled him.
No shark, they said, could make him die
Unless the shock first killed him.
