vith evidently eager interest on the peo
ple passing and re-passing the carriage

of these was not great, and we were stiU
alone when the train again moved off.
When wo were outside the station a
change came over my fellow , passenger.
He threw his book on the floor and rose
to his feet. Hitherto, I had, being pre
occupied with my own thoughts, given
email heed to him.. Now, without know
ing why, I felt myself fascinated. There
was a light in his dark eyes, an expres
sion in his mouth which at once repelled
and attracted me. ... ,,..
"Have you been much of a traveler?
he asked suddenly. He was standing
with his back to the door watching me
curiously. . , ,

Yes, the man was mad, raving mal.
There could be no doubt about it. Only
a maniac oould laugh the mirthless
langh which now came from hi throat,
he drew two stops nearer to me and
hissed at me, "We shall travel together
to the moon. Adieu to the fogs; say
with me, adieu to the fogs." :
I was now erect, watching my compan
ion intently, nerving myself for a strug
gle, which it was easy to toll was very
near. I eould easily see I was no match
for such an antagonist. My hope was
that I would hold my own for the few
minutes necessary to reach Sjm road,
here plenty of assistance w
available.
"Your balloon would scarcely travel
on such a night," I said, with affected
indifference. "The atmosphere is too
thick!"
"Too thick! Do you tuinn iot lie

I do. Consider the density oi tue
fog. How could we possibly get tnrougu
it?"

amis and made a clutch at my throat.

self and follow you." One shout l gave
for help, but it was lost in the report m
a fog signal.; then we were swaying back
wards and forwards in the carriage in a
struggle which was literally for life and
death. fThe madman's breath came hot
on my face, his strong arms held me in a
nerce emurace. iuom w
in his eyes. ... n.
Tho foam worked out of his mouth,
and his teeth gnashed angrily with each
other. . ,,
Life is dear, and I felt no inclination
to yield mine without a desporate strug
gle. I tore my antagonist's hands from
my throat, and for a moment forced him
to act on the defensive. I shouted again
and again for help, and now i wugou iw
Spa road no words can describe. The
train was now running at good rate and
I knew the station could not oe iar uu.
If only I could Tiold my own for one
half-minute all would be safe.
Tausing in his exertions for a moment
tue madman suddenly quitted me. Just
then to my horror tue tram tuLu
through my station without evou Black
ing speed. I was in the wrong train
and there was no hope of asswtance till
we reached New Cross, it was eviucuv
that my fellow-passengers had not heard
my shouts for assistance.
Without a word of warning my com
panion again threw himself upon me,
this time with a f ary so resistless that 1
was borne to the floor.
"We shall go to the moon, he
shrieked. "I have a knife wo can cut
our way through the fog."
I felt myself helpless. My previous
exertions had exhausted my strength,

On opening the door Tip rushed in, and
tbey were tearing arouud the dining
room in high frolic. Don't toll me cata

I wonder why music affects dogs in
such a mournful manner. If Tip had
any sorrow the sound of the piano al
ways seemed to bring it to the surface.
We were singing Moody and Sankey the
other evening, and Mr. Blowhard, our
handsome tenor, was doing his prettiest.

ing hastened thoreta by a gentle re
minder from the tip of Mr. Blowhard's
boot. He broke up the conoert. 1 have
heard others speak of the same effect of
music on dogs. ...
If Flossie, the cat, loved Tip, she hated
Poll Parrot, and we could never keep
peace between them. Poll's weapon
was her strong beak, and if she wanted
a convincing argument she would bite
hard enough to draw blood. I've seen
Poll perched on the back of a chair, Bi
lent and motionless, asleep as you would
say, but I, knowing her innate ugliness,
would be sure she was planning mis
chief. Kitty would be taking her after
dinner nap by the fire, when Poll would
climb down the back of the chair, wad
dle across the carpet, and grab tho ond
of Kitty's toil. With an angry mew sue
would dash for the lounge, while Poll
would cive vent to an amused chuckle,
and waddle back to the chair, muttering
"Naughty Poll! very naughty Poll!"
Kitty would drop asleep again and roll
after watching her from the corner of
her eye, would steal down again, climb
the lounge, and get a firm hold of the
cat's ear. This would be too much for
kitty and she would rush for the door;
Poll would chuckle harder than ever.
But Kitty would have her sweet revenge
for Poll was always on hand at dinner
time, perched on the back of a chair, so
ber as a judge, and waiting for a chicken
leg or wish bone. She would hold the
bone with one claw, and look very much
as if she was playing on the flute. Now
was kitty's chance; she would jump on

You couldn't make Tip understand he was
not one of the family, a sharer of joys
and sorrows, and perfectly proper to be
with ua on every occasion. Sundays were
trying times for him; if he was not locked
up in the house he would be sure to go
to church with us, and his mournful face
at the parlor window, and dismal whine,
would quite haunt us. The Doctor re
membered one Sunday morning that the
back pantry window was open, but hop
ing Tip wouldn't find it, gave himself up
to the service, iiut lip was on mo toi,
and was out of the pantry window and
was off for church before the service was
well begun. A late comer let him into
the church, and Tip walked up the broad
aisle, smelling at every pew-door as he
went along, lain aoom perBBymum.

navigating the Air.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
introduction of a locomotive machine
which would transport a large number of
people through the air in any direction
required, at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, would be a startling novelty in our
traveling arrangements. Let us glance
at the advantages it would offer. Com
paring it flrt with aquatic locomotion, it
would be far quicker than any boat hith
erto made, vastly less expensive in first
outlay and ooBt of working, would re
quire no harbors, would produce no soa
sickness, and would escape the greatest
dangers inherent in water navigation.
Viewing it, secondly, as a means of land
transport, it would bo quicker than com
mon road traveling, and would compare
fairly with the ordinary spoed on rail
ways, while it would entirely dUponse
with the enormous and costly provisions
requisite for both -these modes of getting
over the ground, and bo free from tho
multitudes of liabilities to acuideut at
tending thorn. Hut it may naturally be
objected that such a mode of locomotion
would have peculiar dangers of its own.
No doubt balloons have hitherto been
very subject to acoidents, and the bare
idea of anything going wrong at a Light
of thousands of feet above the earth has
in it something very appalling. But
much of this impression will vanish be
fore common souse reasoning. It
must alwavs be borne in mind that,
for the purposes of locomotion, there
would 1m no reason for ascending high
into the air; it would only be necessary
to keep sufficient altitude to clear torrcs
tial impediments, and this would not
only do away with much of the terror of
the idea, bufwould greatly increase the
Srobabilityofa safe escape from aooi
enta of what ever kind. Let us see in
what direction dangor might, in extreme
case, lie. The loss of gas by rupture of
the envelope or otherwise is a remote
possibility; but the exporionco of moviy
actual eanes has proved, that the resist
ance of the air to tho largo surface" e
nosed has snfttoed to prevent any rapid

Sr. Parnell'i Ancestor!.
On Lis father's sidoMr. Parnellcan
boast of a distinguished ancostry. The
representative of a younger branch was
raised to the peerage in 1841, as Baron
Congloton for thev were originally a
Cheshire family. Mr. ParnoU'a great
grandfather.Sir John Parnell, was Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, Privy Coun
rillor, and Lord of the Treasury in the
Irish Government for a considerable
period between 1782 and WOO. It ia re
corded in Burke that he was strongly op
posed to the Act of Uuion between Great
Britain and Ireland; but it appears from
incidental notices in Mr. I rondo's vol
umes that he was ono ofsthe men upon
whom the English Government oould
plw-e most reliance in opposing the
fiercer patriots of the school of O rut tan.
A generation or two further back Mr.
Parnell counts among his ancostas two
Judges and one Lord Chief Justice of
the Irish Court of King s Bench, so thA

The respect which the Irish have for
their priests does not prevent them
from enjoying' a joke at their expense.
I remember hearing of an instance of a
poor girl going to a priest to ak him
to unit her to the boy of her choice.
Tho holy man domanded two sover
eigns for the accommodation. The
girl ploaded hard that she had not so
much money; but he was inexorable;
two sovoroigni he must have.
She was leaving the house in the
freateHt despondency, when her eye
ighted on the priest's cloak hanging
on a pog in the hall. A bright
thought occurred to hor quick Irish
niiad; she took it down and vanished.
Half an hour lufcr sho rcKirned with

Lamar boys are nothing if not imita
tive. If they were to hear ofamaa
being ground up by a thrashing machine
they would at once run ono of their num
ber through a fanning mill to "see how
the eld thing workod."
One of the boyB had been reading
ByTon'B Mazeppa, and he got three or
four of the boys down in the
southwest part of the town ana tuey
concluded to play Mazeppa. From what
we can learn not having been provided
,;t, a i-mnnlimflntarv the play was
rather more startling than instructive.
They got a cow and about forty foet of
clothesline and a number seven boy
with rod hair and a freckled nose to do
the Mazeppa part, while a gentle youth
of twelve or thereabouts, wrapped a sad
dle blanket round his bead, and as the
jealous Sheik, shouted:
"Bring forth the horse. xuej
fotched" her. A heifer of the muly
breed and wild wild as seventeen kmus

They got her on tho barn floor and tieo

anemei to realize that her credit as
at stake. Her acting was
splendid and brought down tho house
by sections. Whenever she run over
one of the boys you eould hear the ap
plause for four blocks.
Although the audience all had parquet
and pit tickets, they thought tbey could
look at the piay ueuer iroui wo j ,
and so they slid up into the hay-mow
and tried to crawl out through the roof
while the old cow was churning about
fourteen years' growth, out of Mazeppa
bawling like a steam cainope, wmio iu
zeppa passed most of the time yelling
like a pig Btuck in a fence.
