charmed at the decisions of the judges.
The capital city is of extraordinary
magnifcence The houses are con-
structed of porcelain, porphyry, varie-
gated marble, and even Of precious
stones of different kinds. The balcon-
les, locks, hinges, knockers and roofs
are made of gold All in the sun pro-
duce the most dazzling appearance.
A superb river of curacao winds
through the city, over bed of sweet
meats, pistachios and almonds. A
multitude of elegant boats made Of
sweet biscuits or Of almond cake plow-
ed gracefully the succulent waves, with
masts made of sugar OF barley and
with oars made Of spiced bread. More
than 100 bridges cross the river, and
connect the two banks by arches of
candied sugar or Savoy cake. AS to
the wharfs, they are simply construct
ed of chocolate and are paved with
petals of roses.
THE RETURN.
In spite of all these magnificences,
my cousin regretted bitterly that earth
where he was born, and he promised
that If ever the occasion to return pre-
sented itself he would not let 1t pass.
The chance at length came.
The news that an animal had
tumbled from the earth being promptly
spread among the inhabitants of the
moon, people came from all parts of
the planet to see him, and that af-
fiuence augmented still more the mag
| nificence OF the capital. The king of
neighboring country, pretended, in
/ his jealousy, that the balloon, having
fallen upon his territory, the animal
belonged to him. But the prince that
had taken possession of Laroutine and
had made him his favorite ape, did not
wish to be separated from him.
A war was the result of this great
dispute, and battle took place at the
foot of the diamond mountain where
the balloon had settled. While the
two armies were fighting, my cousin,
seeing the earth above him, escaped
secretly, found again the path by
which he had descended from the
mountain, and reached the summit
where he found his balloon as he had
left it.
He Immediately opened the bag in
the basket, found the ingredients nee
essary to initiate it, and succeeded after
a time in imparting to the balloon its
old rotundity. Then he sprang into the
basket and the balloon rose majes-
tically into the air. He saw the two
armies still fighting, but they were
soon lost to view.
In returning he repassed all the
phases Of his first trip, and redescend-
ed in the Champs de Mars Paris, 12s
days after he had so accidentally
quilted it. His joy was great, for be
took back with him from the moon a
fortune in rubies, emeralds, diamonds
and other gravel of that country.
Unhappily, his relatives, covetine
his immense fortune, treated as illus.
ions the adventures he recounted tc
them, and, after having exasperated
him by their incredulity and theil
treatment, they denounced him to the
officials as dangerous to the tranquility
of the public, and they had him bound
and incarcerated in the insane asylum
at Charenton. There he remains to-
day, and there he recounted to me all
these things, when l made him visit
the other day.

Joe Hughes, the colored bootblack,
whose trial for alleged theft was re-
ported yesterday, was acquitted late in

innings and Hughes took the stand
himself. He repeated the same story
that he had always told, namely. that
he had found the watch, did not know
who it belonged to and kept it only un-
til he could find she owner. AS soon
as he heard that it was Moore's watch
he returned it and asked for the re-
ward that had been offered, as he con-
sidered himself justly entitled to it,
The prosecution Introduced some
testimony as to certain conversations
had with the defendant intended to
show that 1t ad been his intention to
keep the watch for his own use.
After hearing the arguments OF the
attorneys and the court charge the
jury brought verdict of acQuittal in

During the trial Hughes was calm
enough to outward appearance but
when the verdict was announced he
could not restrain his JOY and express
ed his hearty thanks TO the jury for
their verdict.
