CAN' AWAY IX A BALLOON.

IIow a Swindling Aeronaut Snapped Ills Fingers at Ills Austrian Creditors. VlEXNA. Jane 24. Some time ago Atlolph "VcTer began advertising himself in Vicuna as Senor Jabw, "the great South American aeronaut." lie put notices in all the dailies' and on all the bill-boards that on June 2 he would ascend to eomo fabulous height in a balloon and drop back to earth under a rarachute. About a week before the date of the proposed ascension Senor Jabvr, alias Wever, began to live extraordinarily 'high. He bocght great quantities of jewelry, laces and silks for his -wife, aud wines and fine cigars galore for himself. Heato at tho best hotels and ordered clothes of the most fashionable tailors. Ho paid for nothing, however. He told tho jeweler, and the tailor, and the dress-maker, and tho liquor-dealer that he would settle accounts with them immediately after the balloon ascension, from which he expected to realize much money. With the credulity characteristic of continental German tradesmen they believed him. They sold him all lie wanted on credit and tried to sell him more. On June 1 Senor Jabw invited the city officials of Vienna to observe his final rehearsal before the exhibition. In the presence of the Mayor and tha City Council be and SeuoraJaliw, alias Fran .Wever. and .tho parachute ascended in a balloon. as mguasa lw-iooi rope, maue last to a tree and the balloon-car, would allow. After bobbing about over the official heads of Vienna for a couple of minutes, Senor Jabw cut the rope that held him to Austrian soil and blew away. That is the last Vienna, and its City Council, and its tradesmen have 6een of Senor Jabw. Warrants were sworn out by his creditors f or his arrpst on the afternoon of his departure. Telegraphic instructions to detain him were Rent out by the Viennese, police to the police of all other Austrian cities. The chief of detectives in St. Poelten replied that the balloon had already passed the city. From Linz came a similar report. Dispatches from northeastern towns announced eventually that the fugitive balloon was over the Bavarian boundary, where Austrian policemen and Austrian warrants were powerless. The bills of the credulous Viennese tradesmen against Jabw-Wever were a dead loss to tneir holders. The aeronaut and his wife had smuggled out of Vienna all their belongings several days beforo their llight. Tho officers who wt i to their apartments to attach the r? icles they had never paid for. found theu only baje floors and bare walls. - Prince Leopold and Princess Louise Married. Berlin, June 24.

Lester Martin, aqed three years, was burned to death and his mother fatally injured, early this morning, as the result of the carelessness of a servaut in lighting a gasoline stove. Ella liirdshaw was the servant. She works at the residence of Mrs. Martin. In lighting the stove she forgot to removo tho pan which had become almost full of leaking oil during the night. It caught tire, and to ' get rid of the blaze she attempted to throw it out of the window. In doing so tho llames caught the clothing of Lester, Mrs. Martin's three-year-old child. The mother, who was in a very delicate coudition, heard the confusion in the kitchen, and risiug from her sick bed, saw her son burning to death. In attempting to rescue him she was fatally burned about the head and neck. Her son was burned almost to a crisp, and lived but a few hours. Tho servant escaped with slight injuries. A Peculiar Virginia Statute. IUltimohe, June 24. Owing to a peculiar statute in the Virginia laws, the conviction of Mrs. Virginia Taylor of murder in the second degree for poisoning her husband has been set aside, and instead of serving a sentence of five years she walked out of jail to-day a free woman. Judge Gaunter, of tho Circuit Court, has decided that the County Court erred in instructing the jury that they could lind the prisoner cuilty of any degreo of murder, as by tho Virginia law killing by poison is murder in the lirst degree. Uy tne same atatute Mrs. Taylor cannot be tried again. HORACE GREELEY'S ROMANCE. The Attire In Vf hlch He Presented nimself to the Woman Who Ilecame Ills Wife. Ithoda E. White, in New York San. In 1835, Mr. White went to New Orleans, to commence the great suit of the then Mrs. William Clarke Whitney against the executors of herfiithers will, who.it was alleged, had embezzled tho propertv of Daniel Clarke, deceased. William Whitney was the son of General Whitney, of Binghamton, my grandfather, who employed Mr. White as attorney to begin the suit that would bo the greatest on record in America, owing to the immense amount of money and the miles of landed property involved. Mr. White tiled his bill, proving the marriage of Daniel Clarke, and the probate of a wi 11 by the executors, which was not his lawful testament. Wo returned to New York, iu 1836, and looked around for a house. The lower part of Greenwich street, near the Battery, was tho locality most desired at that time for private residences. A largo four-story brown-stone house, with a circular front, attracted our attention. There was only one fault to be found, it was very large, built in English fashion, with high ceilings, and, consequently, longstaircases. Mr White had met Mr. Greeley there, a young man from the country, who was bold enough to start a newspaper in the city, aud this brave adventurer did not stop hero in his reckless grasp at fortune's gifts, lie had just returned from the bouth, where ho had married a young lady of tho North who was spendinga year with some Southern friends. She was very young, handsome, and attractive. One of her friends, from whom I learned these facts, told me that she admired Miss Cheney very much, and knew but one man who would be the one to win her heart aud. hand; that man was the young journalist, Horace Greelev. She set to work, as some women foolishly do, to bring about the union. Mr. Greeley and Miss Cheney had never met. This match-maker told her story of the young lady with skill to the innocent 3oung countryman, and so awakened his desire to become acquainted with the lad3r that he allowed his iriend to writo to Miss C. that he would like er3' much to correspond with her. Her letters to the mutual friend were written with a frankness and originality seldom found, and rather pleased the young man to whom they were shown, and having no experience in theknowletle of the mysteries of the female heart, ho was easily caught in love's net. His friends remarked tho symptoms of the increasing fever, and lost no opportunity to l.righat the poor fellow. Miss C. enjoyed the innocent pleasure of a correspondence with the gifted young journalist, and ought to have kuown tho danger, but the letters were go delightful, each one growing more and more attractive, and at last, Mr. Greeley, in the simplicity of his honest nature, avowed that his heart and his life he offered to Miss C, and begged that she would accept them; tin worthy as they were, etc. He had been told by his friend that she was beautiful and very young. It was not necessary, this friend thought, as she told me. to describe Mr. Greeley. So love born in Miss C.'s heart, from the letters, allowed her to picture, him as fancy dictated. After a suitable time hnd passed, it was arranged between them that Mr. Greeley should go South, spend one day, be married, nnd return North immediately. I X paper demanded this unromantic ha&te. But Mr.

Greeley was not romantic; he was severely matter of fact. . . Miss Cheney was in every respect the opposite of her lover. In tho warmth of her youthful enthusiasm he had clothed him with personal beauties and graces that were justified by the adornments of his character as seen in his letters. He announced to his companions that tho fortunate event of his life was near at hand, anil that a short absence must be allowed to him to bring home his younc wife. The hour of their first meeting was the ono which both parties anticipated with a strange feeling of curiosity, but neither doubted the full satisfaction to bo realized. It was a dangerousexperinient and a severe test of love. They met. and stood face to face. Miss C. had with womanly coquetry decked herself tomeethcrlover.and looked charming in his eyes, more than fancy had painted her. He, stood speechless a moment, while her large brown eyes opened wide in utter amazement, scanning the figuro before her from head to foot, and remaining in a state of almost breathless bewilderment, as if unable to believe her sight, so entirely was he unlike what sho had imagined! His Uax-white hair was long and fell around his neck loosely; his face was fair as a woman's, and its expression was tho mirror of a noble heart; his chin was dimpled, and on his mouth sat the n'rmness of his manly character that redeemed tho face from effeminacy. But the figure of Mr. Greeley, the young mau before her, was to her painfully without grace, his voice as in the extreme drawling and nasal, and there was in his manner a total disregard of conventional rules or ceremony.' Miss C. could not conceal her disappointment, but they eat down in the most matter-of-fact way to arrange the business part of the immediate marriage. Mr. Greeley had traveled by land several daya and presented himself in all the haste of an imEatient lover to his lady, without changing is apparel or even thinking of his appearance, and his delight with her was so great that ho failed to see the effect his presence had produced upon her. Her almost utter inability to speak was attributed to a natural timidity on the occasion. 'Can you go now!" ho asked, after a half hour's conversation. "Go where!" she enSuired. "Go to be married," replied Mr. reeley. To be married! Why, I can't marry yon. Now that I see you I do not love you," she said, half choked by tears. 'No, I cannot marry you." His sunrise was greater than hers had been. Then came to his aid that firm, strong will that those remember who knew him well in after years.. He stilled pride, bore the humiliation like ft hero, but insisted that Miss C. should keep her engagement with him. What his arguments were she did not tell me later; but fehe told me that he had a strange influence over her at the time that rendered her submissive. She looked at his travelbtained clothes and boots, and asked him to prepare for the marriage, but to understand that he married her knowing that sho had no love for him. Many, many men havo ventured the same, some to win happiness,; often more to wreck domestic comfort com-: pletely! Mr. Greelev went with all speedto a barber, and after tho shave, with a' proud air, told the man that ho was to bo; married in less than an hour. "Brush olt; my clothes," he ordered. Tho barber, with; brush in hand suspended in the air, asked, "Not going to change this suit?" "No, no;: have not brought any other; go on brush! off tho dirt and dust." : "But, sir, look at the bottom of yourj trousers; the stains will show, do what V can." "Never mind, cut oflf,the bottom." Putting down his brush, for fear's sake; ho obeyed the order, and cut off the gar-": ment, and tho good mau 6oon presented.! himself to the lady, tellingherthat ho made arrangements with a minister to perform' the ceremony, and to go with him at onco to the place appointed. "I went in a trance, it seemed to mo,"v said Mrs. Greeley two months later to me "and I am yet in a 6tat of wonder at my own act." They were married. Mr. White and Mr. Greeley met after the return of the bride and groom to New York, and arranged to take the large brownstone house in Greenwich street together; and there began a friendship between them that increased yearly, and lasted through many years till each had risen to distinction and to tho honor of a good name among men. Both are now gone to judgment and reward. Many were the precious hours of social intercourse between Mr. and Mrs. Greeley, Judge Whito and myself. During the war a closer union of thought and action existed between us. Mrs. Greeley and I were well acquainted, and though differing in many points, loved to compare notes. I remember when she wished to compliment me she told me I was like her.

STErNIAK AT II03IE. A Big, Artistic, Jewish Man, Married to a Beautiful Woman. London Sunday Times. Since his coming to London Stepniak has lived in some three or four houses. At present he occupies a pleasant little houso in fSt. John's Wood. A little square garden leads up to tha three or four steps in front, and in tho center of the "low-browed'' house. Upon these steps, the odds aro ten to ono, unless rain is falling, that you lind' Stepniak's dark, shaggy-haired little dog, Parenka, lying. This giant in body and in mind has a passionate love for animals, and this is much more rare he understands them. Stepniak opens the door himself. Then he may lead you to tho bright little room at the end of the passage, from whose window another garden slopes down to the trees on the marge of the Kegent's Park canal. Or he may take you into his study on the left. Here are his books, his dictionaries, his writing-table. A little room to the right is for dining. Below, Stepniak's wife does the cooking, and above are the sleeping apartments. Mme. Stepniak is a woman of exceeding beauty, body and soul. Both husband and wife are passionately fond of music, and, of course, only of music of the highest order. They think, however, with many another, that this includes the weird, melancholy peasant 6ongs of their own home land. In a word, they are artists. And in truth, after all, that is the best name in which to sum up Stepniak if any one word can at all sum up a personality so complex as his. He is an artist, with the true artist's love for perception of and power of nutting into form the beautiful that which to tho lesser natures is "without lorm and void." Even in politics, and in the most acute phases of these, Stepniak is still an artist. He brings the artistio instinct into tho discussion of abstract questions, into tho carrying out of apparently sordid details. He is a prolound mathematician and physicist; he is master of many languages, he is upon this he prides himself most highly a splendid shoemaker, and he has made a table and tho frame for the picture already mentioned. But, above all this, and through all this, he is an artist. And, therefore, it is good that he has written a novel in English. Those that have been privileged to see this new work in manuscript speak strongly of the profound impression it has made upon them as a study of human nature lirst. and of Russian nature second, as a work full of exquisite analysis and beauty of thinking, as a picture of the revolutionary movement from within. Not the least astounding thing iu connection with this novel is that it has been written in English, and in very excellent English. The few corrections that have had to bo made have been, as a rule, simply syntactical, and upon -not a few pages of the manuscript not an alteration was necessary. Its author is prouder of this novel than of his more polemical and descriptive works, although possibly other judges, and, perhaps even "old Justice Time," raav look-upon this as but another case of Milton and "Paradise Kegained." Further, there is more than a possibility of titepniak's appearing as a dramatic author. An earnest student of the drama in his own country and in the lands of his adoption, he feels very strongly how Russia has not on tho English stage "a fair 6how.w He does not regard seriously the one or two attempts that have been made in London of recent years to depict Bussian scenes, Bussian people. Russian manners. Even "The Bed Lamp" did not satisfy this exigent national critic. The acting of it did, of course, but not the incidents. Nothing would induce him to take seriously the rushing off of Alan Villiers, tho New York correspondent, to inform the Czar personal' of a plot against him. and to stop his carriage on the way to the fetation. All things nearly ) are possible with journalists especially American ones -but stepniak swears that any one trying to reach the Emperor of all the liussias iu this fashion would only have reached him on the point of h bayonet. More in sorrow than in any other less worthy emotion, Stepniak is wont to point out that on "The Bed Lamp programmes were printed a number of extracts from "Underground Russia," which the author of that work contends had no bearing on the play, and

to each of which was appended tho name "Stepniac" (sic.) "Christina." according to the same authority, contained errors not less striking, aud so did "The Monk's Boom." The intention of Stepniak is to work at a play purely Russian, and not necessarily revolutionary; to give a picture of tragedy in Russian life, whose essence is even more cosmopolitan than is the immense national tragedy now working out in eastern Europe; to deal with motives more general than the especially revolutionary idea. Later the attempt may be made to write a play whose incidents and personages will have to do with tho struggle in Bnssia. Such a play will, at least, have the advantage of being fathered by one who has been and is in the very heart of the Bussian revolutionary movement. Personally, Stepniak is of immense strength, both phvsicaBy and mentally. Of clearly Jewish origin, he has a bodily frame cast in a gigantic mold. Not more than live feet nine or ten inches in stature, he has the shoulders of a Samson, a hand of enormous power, with tho tenderness of a woman in its grasp, a leonine nead, with thick black hair ana beard. His courage is perfect. His coolness is utterly incapable of disturbance in the most strenuous emergencies. Both have been tried in the most fiery of furnaces, and neither has been found wanting. Only their owner has when the Russian police were after him. Of course, Stepniak is wanted. What revolntionirt exile from the dominions of the Wrhite Czar is not! And, of course, his friends know what he is wanted for retrospectively and prospectively. And, for the matter of that, so do not a few journalists at least. But. eo far as I know, there has been no printed reference to the "affair" in this country, save in one instance. There, the referrer was the Bussian Eve, among whose tempting and tempted serpents, tho wicked gossips say. have been Hungarian ministers, generals, English statesmen and responsible editors. Politically and speculatively, Stepniak is of what is called in the slang of to-day the "advanced" order. He is a Socialist; he is a free-thinker. Whatever we in England may think on speculative matters, we have to face tho fact, and to take it for exactly as mnch as it is worth, that among educated Russians, whether they are revolutionists or not, thereliRious question does not exist. They cannot be made to understand how the question of belief or non-belief can trouble any bodv to-day. Bightly or wrongly, the educated Russian I am not speaking of tho revolutionists only has decided in favor of non-belief. Stepniak is a Socialist, and although he will not identify himself with any of the various leagues, whose main occupation is respective vilification, he is a regular attendant at any "advanced" meetings in London that are likely to have any practical outcome. Nor must it be thought from his active attitude in respect to his own country that he in any way advocates what aro called "extreme measures' here.

In all cases where a cathartic is needed, these Pills are recommended by leading physicians. Dr.T. E. Hastings, of Baltimore, 'says: "Ayer's Pills are the best cathartic and aperient within the 'reach of my profession." Dr. John VST. Brown, of Oceana, W. Va., writes : " I have prescribed Ayer's Pills in mv practice, and find them excellent. I urge their general use in families." For a number of years I was afflicted with biliousness which almost destroyed my health. I tried various remedies, but nothing afforded me any relief until I began to take Ayer's Pills." G. 8. AVanderlich, Scranton, Pa. " I have used Ayer's Pills for the past thirtv years, and am satisfied I should not be alive to-day if it had not been for them. They cured me of dyspepsia when all other remedies failed, and their occasional uso has kept me in a healthy condition ever since." T. P. Brown, Chester, Pa. " Having been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer's Pills, and deem it both a duty and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great benefit from their use. For over two years past I have taken ono of these Pills every night before retiring. I would not willingly be without them." G. W. Bowman, 2o East Main St., Carlisle, Pa. "Ayer's Pills have been used in my family upwards of twenty years, and have completely verified all that is claimed for them. In attacks of piles, from which I suffered many years, they afforded me greater relief than any medicine I ever tried." (Thomas F. Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. Ayer's Pills, PEKfAEED BY Cr. J.
