The New York English Girl.

New York Letter to San Francisco Argonaut.
was very much amused by the antics Of a
wOuld-be English girl and an unquestiOnably
British bull terrier, on 5th avenue, yester-
day afternoon. She came out of the front
door OF her house with good deal of q swing
tall, slim, well-formed and composed. Her cos
tune was Of black and white material-I have
q dim sort of suspicion that 1t was either silk
or satin-and she wore small, square-toed boots,
a jaunty hat gloves OF tan color, and q rather
refined ''hOrsey" look in general. She carried a
riding whip in one hand and clutehed silver
chain in the other. TO the other end Of the
chain was reluctantly attached Il black-muz-
Zed and SuperciliOus bull-pup, with q bad eye.
His fOre-legs were bowed; his tail and ears stuck
aiOft, his chest was broad and he had almost
no nose at all. His under jaw was held forward,
look of a pup of thoroughbred blood. The
girl had an Understandable starched appear
ance, was extremely straight, and her manner
was naughty. She descended the steps with an
admiral BILE affectation of carelessness, consider
ing that at least q score of men were staring at
her, and turned up Fifth avenue. Perhaps 1t
would be more proper to say that she attempted
to turn up Fifth avenue AT all events the ma
neuver was not a success. The dog suddenly
shot around in another direction and wound
the tall girl up in his chain. She struck him
snartly with her whip and he growled; then she
struck him again, and the brute started to Jump
at her, when a man who was passing shouted
at him sharply. The girl went at him pluckily
said 81 am greatly obliged to the man who had
attempted to rescue her, and started up the
avenue. Even during the excitement her ac-
cent was irreprOachably English, and she was
altogether as full-blown and complete speci-
men Of an Anglomaniae as have ever seen.
The girls here have peculiarly English walk,
or one that passes for English now, and this
particular beauty practised it to perfection.

Falling Half a Mile With Parachute.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times

Falling A0If Mile With q Parachute.
From the Philadelphia Times
The greatest balloon feat ever witnessed was
in September, 1857. Upward of Is, 900 peO-
pie were at Lemon Hill and along the banks of
the Schuylkill to see Monsieur GODDARD go up in
balloon along with his brother and drop the
latter out from among the clouds in a para
chute. 1t Is said that the feat had never been
attempted before in the history Of ballooning;
crowded to see 1t. When the balloon sailed
gracefully upward outside of the enclosure
Monsieur GODDARD and two friends were in the
basket, while below it Monsieur +. GODDARD, his
brother, was seated upon small bar of wood
attached to the parachute. 1t looked like an
immense umbrella. The balloon went over the
Schuylkill in a sonthwesterly direction, and
after it had reached an altitude of about six
the parachute began to expand. When
within >about three thousand feet Of the
earth the cord was cut and the parachute rapidly
descended. with GODDARD hanging on to the bar.
The balloon shot upward again. The descent
Of the parachute was keenly watched by the
thousands OF spectators, and many expected to
see the daring man dashed to the earth in the
that the nearer to earth the parachute came the
descent was slow and easy. At last the man
and his big umbrella faded ont of sight over the
hills. and we learned next morning that he came
down all right on his feet, like q cat, about a
haif-mile west OF the old Bell tavern on the
Darby road. The balloon landed in Delaware
county, near the Philadelphia line. GODDARD
turned to their native country, and, believe
were valuable to their country men during the
FrancO-Prussian war. Gambetta sailed out of
Paris to Tours in one of their balloons"
