The admirers of ~crinoline will be
proud to learn that the invention of
balloons Is owing to a similar con.
~trlvance. The French give a curious
auecdote of a simple occurrence which
led the inventor Of such machines
Montgoliier-to turn his attention to
the subject. 1t is to this effect: A
washerwoman of the Rue aux Jnifs,
In the Marais, placed a petticoat on
a basket-work frame, over a stove, to
dry. In order to concentrate all the
heat, and to prevent its escaping by
the aperture at the top, she drew the
strings closely together which are
used TO tie 1t round the waist BY
degrees the stuff dried, became
lighter, and the stove continuing to
heat and rarely the air concentrated
under the framework, the pettiloat
began to move, and at last rose 10 the
air. The washerwoman was so as
| tOnished that she ran out to call her
neighbors; and they, seeing 1t sus-
! pended In the air, were amazed. One
individual, however, a simple paper
maker from Annonay, named Mont
golfer, as much astonished but more
sensible than the Others, returned
home, and without loss Of time
studied the work OF Prlestly on diff
ferent kinds Of atmosphere. The re-
suit was the discovery OF the first
balloon, called Montgolaer'S of which
he was the inventor. The Nautilus
probably gave the idea of a sailing
vessel; Sc also very simple oauses
often produce great and unexpected
results.

To be possessed Of royal Blood to
ONE of a long line Of princesses; to
be pretty, gentle, generous, and good
what more need any woman desire?
Yet Her Royal Highness, Victoria
Mary, the subject of our water-color
frontispiece, and better known
throughout her native land as
Princess May of Teck, is all this, and
more. Only daughter of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, the Princess
May has from her very birth been sur
rounded by all the refining and en-
nobling influences that help to mould
and form a character already gentle,
pure, and noble. Educated by the
most finished and thorough teachers
that could be found in the United
Kingdom, and add to this a remark
ably keen and ready appreciation OF
the advantages of learning, it was
but natural that the young and at
tractive Princess - already richly
gifted by nature-should have de-
veloped into a most accomplished and
brilliant young woman. Such Is
Princess May, who possesses not only
a knowledge of the dainty and de-
sirabIe arts of the educated young
woman of the century, but her royal
mother has seen to it that her daugh-
ter was taught also in the practical
and more common things Of life. A
ministering angel among the poor, the
unfortunate, and the distressed, she
gives her aims with a modest and
generous hand. Betrothed to the late
Duke Of Clarence. eldest son of the
Prince of Wales, the Princess May
has had her full burden of sorrow,
aud she has, of course, since his death
Withdrawn from society; but her
family and friends know her as q
sweet, pure-minded woman, though
every inch a Princess. --Godey'a

Congress-.

In the U. S. Senate yesterday at 3 p.
IN. the business was suspended in order
that fitting tributes might be made to
the memory of Senator Barbour, of
Virginia, who died in the city of Wash
ington Oh the 14th of May, 1892. Eu-
logies of the dead Senator were pro-
nounced by Messrs. Daniel, of Virginia,
dem; Henderson, of Nebraska, rep;
Faulkner, of West Virginia, dem; Gal
finger, of New Hampshire, rep; Platt,
of Connecticut, rep; Hill, ofNew York.
dem; Hiscock, of New York, rep; and
Hunton, of Virginia, dem.-Mr. Bar
bour's successor in the Senate. The
usual resolutions were agreed to; and
the Senate, as further mark of respect
to the memory of Mr.. Barbour, adj
journed.
The following allusion to the Bar
bour funeral ceremonies in the Senate
chamber occurred in Mr.. Hills re-
marks: "We have not forgotten that pc
culiarly solemn ard impressive funeral
of his-thc first of its kind, believe,
ever held in this chamber-where the
beautiful rites and ceremonies of his
mother church were administered in
our presence, whereby we were taught
another lesson in behalf of religious
tolerance and Christian brotherhood
on earth. 1t was peculiarly fitting
that such services should be held here
over the mortal remains Of one of Vir-
ginia's foremost sons-Viryinia, whose
grand Senator he was; the State that
had given to the country the great JEFF
ferson, who had done so much for the
of bigotry and prescription,
and on whose monument is inscribed
the noble and imperishable record that
he was the author of the statute for re-
ligious freedom in Virginia"
In the House the deficiency appro-
priation bill was passed. Mr.. Peel re-
ported the Indian appropriation bill,
and it was placed on the calendar.
Business was suspended and resolutions
were passed and eulogies delivered to
the memory of the late Alex. X. Craig,
of Pennsylvania.
