A HORSE IN A BALLOON.

Osman Pasha, an Equine Aeronaut, Maxi
ing Ia ly Ascensions in Berlin.
The latest novelty launched on the
circus-going public of Berlin is desig-
mated on the programme of the famous
Corty-Athol circus as 'Osman Pasha,
the great and only equine acronaut of
the nineteenth century" Osman Pasha
is described by the New York Press as
proud black stallion with fine head
and symmetrical proportions.
The trainers found little difficulty at
first in inducing the stallion, who was
very doeile, to step in the car of the
balloon, and in order to prevent acci-
dents two stout straps connected his
bit with heavy iron rings fastened to
the sides of the car. After his first
aerial trip, however, he strcnuously
objected to leave terra fr1na, and it
required several months ofpatient and
careful coaxing before Osinan could
perform his feat gracefully. And even
now. after many trials, he exhibits q
cN~t'i-' lae'- IF confidence, When o.
man receives his command to step into
the balloon conveyance he acts like a
woman on the point of taking cable
ear-he wants to be sure that the
thing does not fly away before he is
comfortably installed. During the as
cension he behaves phlegmatically and
stands perfectly STILL Notwithstanding
the manipulations of his keepers be-
low, who are constantly pulling on the
ropes attached to the car, swinging it
violently back and forth so that
screams of terror escape the ladies',
who fear that the poor beast may
tumble down at any moment. The
only symptoms of fear the horse
evinces occur during the pyrotecnnical
finale. From the moment the attend
ant approaches with his flaming torch
with which he l1indles the fireworks
the stallion begins to stamp and snort
furiously. During this part OF the per-
formance his fiery eyes and priclxcd
ears denote his interest, ana when he
is finally released there is a sudden
dash for the stable, under the uproari-
Gus applause of the appreciative multi
tude.

rough cuts. The paper appeared in
purple ink from geiatine copying
press, or helStograph, and it's editorials
and local news were usually SO clearly
presented that the little journal was
influential in the territories, read with
avidity in the newspaper offices Of
eastern Canada and constantly quoted
as an authority. A newspaper by the

most northerly of newspapers is said
by the Youths Companion to be the
Nord Kap, published weekly in Ham

who lives and works in little turf
rooted house. The Nord Kap is, how
ever, regularly printed from news re-
ceivcd by a ship which touches at
Hammerfest but once in eight days.
Sometimes the latest news arrives on
the day of publication for the former
batch, and then ''the latest" does not
get into the Nord Kap till it has been
known fourteen days or more to the
great world to the southwark. But the
most curious paper of all is that de-
scribed by G. A. Sala, as formerly pub
lished in the Deccan. This paper was
autographed every morning on a
square of white cotton cloth. After
having perused it the subscribers en-
ployed it as pocket handkerchief.
Then they sent it to the local washer

A Monument to BE Dedicated.

The monument to commemorate the
charge made by the first regiment of Maine
heavy artillery at Petersburg, Va, June
49, 1864, will be dedicated on Friday the
14th instant. Gen. Walker, in his history
of the second army corps, says: THE
charge was a most gallant one, though I'M
successful, the Maine men advancing over
a space of $50 yards swept by musketry,
and only retiring after more than COO Of
their number had fallen, the heaviest loss
sustained by any regiment of the Union
armies in any battle of the war. Thus
ended the last of the great series of as
saults upon intrenched positions" The fol-
lowing members of the regiment are located
in Washington: H. S. Hall, Chas. l.. Pat
ten, Calvin Farnesworth, Frank A Clark
Geo. j. Brewer and Albert P. Eastman.
Most of these were wounded in the charge;
the last two were left for dead on the field.
Patten went down in the Fords Theater
building last year, narrowly escaping
death. The survivors Of the old regiment
are scattered all over the country. and
many will not be able to attend, but for
those who can be present the occasion will
be most interesting one.

MARRIAGE LICENSE LAW.
A Minister Under the Impression That
n Change Had Been Made.

Rev. Byron Sunderland. pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church. on Friday
brought to the Office of the clerk of the
District Supreme Court some 200 marriage
licerses. The licenses ran from 1871 up to
the present time. and represented mar
riages which the vert cradle clergyman had
perform ed here during that period. In
mar.y of the cases Dr. Sunderland had fail
ed to make the return required by law. AS
explain ed in The Star some months ago,
the law. while requiring officiating min
listers to certify to all marriages performed
by them. fails to prescribe period in
which such certificates shall be filed. Dur
ing the last session of Congress a bill was
favorably reported requiring clergymen to
file such certificates in the clerks office of
the District Supreme Court within forty
eight hours. DIR. Sunderland had evidently
not read The Star as closely as usual. for
he came to the clerks office Friday I'M
der the impression that the bill had become
law. Being told that the old law was
still in force, DR.. Sunderland left the IL
cense5 with the clerk, promising to return
in short time for the purpose of certify
ing to those marriages which he had over
looked.
Among the 300, licenses brought to the
clerks office Friday was that authorizing
the arriage Of Grover Cleveland and
Frances Folsom. both of Buffalo, NY. All
the world knows, however, that Miss Fol-
som became the wife of the President of
the United States on the I'd Of June, 1886.
An Investigation of the records in the
clerks office showed, too. that in that case
the venerable clergyman had promptly
made return of the marriage
In connection with the Presidents mar
rage DR.. Sunderland stated that he had
permitted some one to inspect the certified
20 license shortly after the marriage, and
dld not see 1t again for about tive weeks
.%hen 1t was returned to him by the late
Joseph Shillington, well-known local
oookseiier The loss of the license then
would have mattered little, however, as
the marriage had been both performed and
certified to.
