From the Tribune, March !.
John La Mouutain, the famous aero
naut, died at South Dcud, Ind., on the
14th of February. La Mountain's lile
was full of adventures and of incidents,
which were frequently moro interesting
than agreeable, lie was among the
most fearless aeronauts in this or any
other country, and pursued his chosen
profession with a higher- object than
merely to make money by exhibiting
j himself, lie was compelled to make
How Mrs. G. Got Well.
Torn .Gordon's wife was a victim to
imaginary ailments. Dr. Valentine, her
physician, understands her whims and
oddities so well, that he humors her in
every caprice. If she imagines rheuma
tism is her complaint, he agrees with her,
and prescribes some harmless potion. If
she thinks her appetite decreasing; some
bread piils keep her in good spirits'until
the fancied symptoms of some other dis
ease induce her to send again for him.
About three months ago she complained
of a pain in her side, and, as usual, the
doctor was summoned. After prescribing
three or four bottles of different harmless
compounds, he said :
"All you want, to assist jnedicine in
ttle rousing. Al-

pet theory of LaMouutaiu was that there
I was a current in the atmosphere corres
ponding with the CJu'.f Stream in the
! ocean, and flowing steadily from West to
East, lie was ambitious to be the first
aeronaut to cross the Atlantic, taking
advantage of this current. lie built the
famous balloon "Atlantic" for this pur
pose. Tl is is one of the largest, strong
est and most beautiful balloons ever made.
The aeronaut determined to test his the
ory bv a land voyage first, and started
j from St. Louis to the Lacit, accompanied
by dunn isc, .nr. I lytic, an cuitor oi

IThe Will for the Deed. "I must
not forget those stockings ; there is a bas
kcl full this week."
Jennie's mother said this in a wearied
waV. The little girl was playing in her
rocm, and began to think about helping
her.
'Where are they ?" she askc-J.
'In the sitting room," tliJ mother an
Bwered, and thought no mote about it.
An hour later she wont i! .vn st.iirs.
There sat Jennie in the large arm
chair by the open window, tha b.t-ket on
the table before her, and her little lingers
very busy.
'Mother," said she, looking up with a
"bright smiled "you have twelve pairs of
stockings and I've done hair of them."
Jennie had given up a whole hour's
play to help and relieve her mother ;
but she was a very little girl and she had
made a mistake. She had sewed the
man oi ljostoti. Hie party
air over nine hours, pasinsr
holes over aud over. And she meant to
do her best, the stitches were close and
tizht. Her mother knew that it would
he at least an hour's work to rip them j
out, but she would not disappoint the j
loving heart by letting her know she Lad j
not: fully succeeded She said only,
"well, you're a dear, good little girl, at.d j
now you may run out and play." j
Away went Jennie, very happy in the j
thought that she h i 1 helped her mother, j
And she had ; rbr the kindness and love j
she had showu her were more precious t ;

company and made her needle move taster.
All of us little fuiks. and trrown folks,

over Lake Lrie, aim into 2sew York btate.
i Up to this point they had enjoyed what
; seemed to them a calm, though their
m i-uis must have been very rapid.
. U'hiie crossing Lake Ontario, a tornado
seized the balloon, and it was. left a wreck
in the woods of JeJTerson county, N. Y.
: The ; Atlantic"' had traveled 1,180 miles
in less than ten hours. This disaster
; ruiued La Mountain's plan of crossing
she ocean for the time. He Was sad
dened, but felt that the trip had impor.t-
i ant results in showing the velocity of
aerial motions, and demonstrating the
: fact that a baloon might cross larjie bod
; ies of water. A small balloon was made
! from the remnants cf the "Atlantic,"
; and he started oa a trip from Watertown,
New York, with Mr. John A. Iladdoek,
editor of the R former. The trip was a
remarkable one. The voyagers, who cx-
pecte 1 to return iu a few hours, were not
i heard from for many days, l'ublic ex
i citement became intense. The mystery
: was at last explained. Having no coui
! pass, the aeronauts had lost their bear-
ings, ami were carried far into the dense
i woods of the Ottawa reservation, in Oan
j ada. After wandering fur ninny days
; subsisting upon leaves and berries, they
j were accidentally discovered, in the last
; stages of starvation, by some Indian
1 scouts in the emplov of a lumberman.
Their story was widely published and
illustratjd by the newspapers. When
: the war began, La Mountain turned his
' attention to. military balloons, and wa?
; the first aeronaut engaged iu the service.
I The advantages gained by ballooning
j were very uncertain, however, and the
! cntere system was soon iiven up. The
Alter the doctor had retired, the pa
tient fancied that at last some serious
disease was beginning to manifest itself,
and, like a fool, she went to bed in de
spair.
Tom understood the case thoroughly,
from long experience, and said to him
self: "She wants a rousing, does she?
Well, I'll give her a surprise that '11 start
'er !" aud a bright idea ran through his
head.
Mrs. Hake, an attractive young widow,
was eugaged to act in the capacity .of
nurse to Mrs. G., and Tom thought her
j attractive qualities might be made avail
; able in jrivini; the patient the necessary
j rousing.
j A short consultation with the beautiful
young widow resulted in the arrangement
i of a plan, the execution of which was to
j influence Mrs. G. to ever after throw
; physic to the dogs.
j Late the next evening Tom called
Mrs. Hake aside, and said to her, loud
enough to be heard by the invalid :
"Door Fanny, she i sure to die at last,
and you and I may begin to arrange for
our marriage."
" 'Twill be a relief to her," continued
Tom. "I, too, have suffered as well as
she, but with you, the picture of health,
my happiness will be complete."
The widow threw herself upon Tom's
shoulders, her arm about his neck, and
began to chew his vest in mcuthfuls, to
smother her laughter.
"How soon shall we get married after
she is dead ?"' asked Tom.
'I suppose you will be willing to wait
a week or two V simpered Mrs. Hake,
as she took another mouthful of vest.
The invalid uttered an exclamation and
landed on the floor.
'You think I'm going to die, do you!"
she exclaimed. "I'll live ! to spite you
both !" As for you," she continued,
turning and grasping Mrs. Hake by the
hair, "out of my house, you designing
vixen ! I will act as my own nurse here
after." From that day to this, Mrs. G. has
enjoyed perfect health.
Corn and Wheat. The corn crop j
throughout the Uniju for 18(53 was more j
than four times as great as that of wheat. ;
The former ajrerregated 905,"000,000 j
bushels, while the latter reached only
224,000,000. Illinois was the largest
producer of both wheat and corn ; that
State having reported 138,303,000 bush
els of corn and 28,500,000 bushels of
wheat. The product of California for
that year was 20,000,000 bushels of
wheat and 1,200,OUO of corn. Illinois
and Wisconsin are the only two States
that exceeded California in the yield of
wheat.
TIobrid Example. A young lady in
Rochester was the other day, while alone,
. wo suppose, engaged iu the intellectual
and dignified operation of turniug sumer
8ts. She succeeded admirably in turn
ing heels over head, but on coding down,
managed to land so that a big needle ran
into her heel, and a doctor hail to be
callod to remove it. She is a married
woman, let it be said, for the relief of
maidenly modesty. The moral is obvi
ous never turn puddings.

Prince Pierre Bonaparte. Fierre
Bonaparte, murderer of Victor 2foir, is
now fifty-five years old, ha3 aleady, it is
well known at various periods of his life,
had violent encounters in which he dis
played a certain savage courage, and
which in more than one instance proved
fatal to his adversaries. He belongs to
the Canino branch of the Bonaparte fam
ily that branch among the'members of
which tho quickness of the Corsican is
most apt to show itself. His elder broth
er, Cario Bonaparte, Prince of Canino,
played a conspicuous -part duriug the
worst disorders f republican Home.
Prince Pierre was also a "lied" of the
deepest dye at Paris before his imperial
cousin put an end to the short republican
era in 1851. Pierre Bonaparte, in Home,
in early youth, in 184G, killed with his
own hand one of the papal pclice a lieu
tenant of carabineers, who had been sent
to enforce the order of the Prince's ex
pulsion from the Pontifical dominions,
and wounded two others. Later in life
he had acme fatal affrays in Albania, and
so stormy was his disposition, and so vio
lent his conduct that the -liuglish Gov
ernment of the Ionian Island had to re
quest him to withdrew from Corfu. In
1849 he was chef de battalion at the siege
of Zaatcha, in Algeria, and was cashiered
by the Minister of War, J1. Houtpoul,
for leaving his post without permission.
The Prince fought a duel on this occa
sion with a journalist who ventured to
make some comments on his conduct.
He then retired to private life, receiving
the Kmperor's pension as a member of
the imperial family, though not enjoying
the rank of an"imperial prince." He

THE ADVANTAGES OFFERED

ers tbo NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY of the United Slates of America worthy of
the patronage of every buincs man.
This company, during the sixteen months of
its existence, has issued
8,825 POLICIES,
covehixg
$20,800,000 INSURANCE
The extraordinary rapid progress of the com
pany attests the estimation in which it is held by
the public, and the large amount of new business
transacted it is the best evidence of the popular
ity of its principles, nnd its adaptability to meet
the requirements of its Assurers.
ITS POLICIES ARE NEGOTIABLE.
By the Charter of the Company, certificates of
obligations will be issued, agreeing to purchase
its policies at their value nhicb, when accompa
nied by the policy duly as&igaed or transferred,
are negotiable, and may be used as collateral se
cur ty, in making loans from the Company or
from other parties.
The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis
sioner of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa
nies, says , " The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that they promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most up
right and judicious management."
" By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the
premium is immediately secured to tho insured,
the Company taking all the risk. By the Mu
tual plan, the full value in insurance of the pre
mium paid, is not secured to tho policy-holder,
who takes a portion of the risk himself."
GAY" PLOWS.
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of
and
FJT1HE simplicity and practicability of this new
JL Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farm .-r. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
nnpluwed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicate 1. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and require, only two levers
to bo used in making any alteration. Tb. supe
riority of the '-Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate :
AVe, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the "tJay" Plow, hereby certify that tho :
same has given ns entlrcsntisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without ,
movi g from the seat, is simple and easy. M"e
like the plow f..r its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the p!-w-beam in
stead of the carriage ; al-o, Lccnuso it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the machinery, ami the Scat ia
always level, not thr wing tho "driver forward or
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
Vre take pleasure in recommending the "Oat"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon.
