BAlOONINc A CRAZE.

Ballooning in the eighteenth century
the ninteenth. and a writer recounts
some half. forgotten SORES of-the days
OF Horace Walpole, who, old grumbler
that he aas, had q special dislike to
the aerial contrivances. In the early
days OF the sport the balloon was sent
up much After the fashion OF kite-fy-
ing; lar, animals were attached TO
the balloons, and their immunity seems
to have emboldened many notable per-
sons to hazard the aerial ascent. 1t be-
came the popular craze, its very dan
ger lending it a charm TO men OF dar-
Ing minds.
In 1854 the sky was crowded with
these aerial carriages. and to make a
balloon a~ce t was one Of the achieve
ments o. en- OF fashion. The Due de
Chartrs undertook a short voyage
from Cloud. piloted by the brothers
Robef., and a reverend father of the
Oratorian Order came from Nantes in
balloon. In 1855 Blanchard. accom-
panied b. Or. Jeffries, crossed the Eng
lish Chs snel to Calais, and DR.. Potain
Jew ever ST. Georges Channel from
Dublin to London. These daring ex-
PLOTS increased the popular admira-
ton, and England did not escape the
balloon contagion.

man of courage, not easily daunted by mi
nor difficulties, else he would never have
succeeded in launching his balloon.
The correspondence between him and a
friend in Italy is full Of interest, and
sets befor. IS in life-Iike manner his

sincerity which the letters displi y have
the charm which always attends a per-
social narrative. We gather FROM this
correspondence that Lunardi was by
no means a man to whom money was
co object. On the contrary, the outlay
caused By building the balloon mads
it matter of necessity that he should
make it paying success.
After many contretemps and disap-
pointments our Secretary carried his
project into effect on September Is.

but the knife, but they use it in diff

Other men who use nothing but the
knife simply stab the oyster. Epicures
declare that this spoils it, but oyster
men say that for the general trade it
makes little difference. If a shucker
has been brought up in the South,
Baltimore or Norfolk, for instance, he
uses a hammer as we'll as a knife in

New YORK CRY (special).-Th'
life of the sailors aboard Admira
Dewey's flagship, the cruiser Olympia,
is a duplicate of the routine peculiar
TO every other boat in the United
States Navy. The discipline has not
been relaxed because the jack tars &C
quilted themselves so we'll at Manila.
On the contrary, an extra effort is
made by the crew to hold by good be-
havior in peace the laurels they won
in time of war. The men-o'-war's men
Of the Olympia are feted and petted
while ashore, but ono under the Ad-
niral's eye they return to the stern
realities of life on the ocean wave.
It is got a very fascinating or wildly
hilarious life that of the man forward
On board a modern warship. There is
q m~onotony and sameness of things
that eat into the heart at times, and it
is only the excitement caused by a

lends a welcome air OF diversion to the
naval day. Torise at $50 to the harsh
notes of a bugle and drum is the or
