JUixoox Uaui:. Last evening, there waa a billuon race from Place d'Armes, which, for tin tlmo being, created no little excite meiit. One balloon was that beneath which Mr. Moran t has made to many ascensions, and the other a new factory cotton concern, Inflated with vaporized alcohol. Moral's balloon was filled, a utunl, with gas. and was the favorite in betting circles, as It pre sented the most approved appearanco In tho ribbed rotundity of Its silky sides. Tho other was under, or rather above, tho man agement of an Engllthmau named Wells. At the start, alcohol took the lead, as If to "get high" wa natural to It; but when any body, human or otherwise, gets high under the Influence of alcohol, ho, she, or It, Is likely to havo a speedy fall. Such was tho case with the balloon which took up Mr. I Wells. After ascending k 00 or 1,000 feet. It stopped short, and the gau-fllled globe passed It, and sailed off majestically In the blue ether. The turning point In the fate of alcohol was soon reached ; cool air condensed the vspor, and It escaped through the lower opening of tbo balloon, which then began fait and faster to descend. Thousands of people, animated by an amiable deslro of being "In at tho death" for It was almost certain that Wells would be killed by tho detcent ran frantically towards the spot which promised to be tho scene of the ca tastrophe, Ilut the full was faster than the rush. The balloon landed on a housojust in the rear ot the bank of Louisiana; and Mr. Wells thinking, doubtless, that It would be wH to do so jumped from hi basket and saved his bacon by clinging to the roof, leaving his intoxicated balloon to take cars of itself. Down tumbled tho shape-i less mass into a yard, and Wells looked about to enjoy tho excitement which he bad created. Beneath, every available ipot was crowded by a dense mass of humanity, em bracing all sorts of crinolinlty wedged in by all sort of masculinity. One man who, fn bla excitement, hod gone up to A bouse-top td seo tho fall of the tero uaut, fell himself, and got pretty badly hurt. no was carried off to a drug-store, and the rumor ran that Wells wsskllled. This made tbq outsldo excitement still more Intense, and WelU), from his vru on the roof, fol lowed with his eye the follower of. what they supposed his own mutilated corpse, which was not a corpse after all, aad not Wells at all. Eventually, Mr. Wells got down from hi refuge, picked up bla bal loon aud walked, blessing his star that he was able to do so. The other balloon crossed the river, and made a tuccessful descent in Hit &gi hood of the IielivUie iron worts, minated tb first balloon-race ef the A". 0.

Dr. Frank lin once said: "It Is other people's eyes that ruin us. If all wcro blind but myself, I should neither want fine houses, line fur niture, nor line clothes," The desire to ap pear well In the eyes of others, Is rarely graduated by the depth of the purse. Tho servant-girl not unfrcqitciilly expends two months' wages fora bonnet or dress, because her old one Is out of fashion J not because Iti! worn, or untidy, or uncomfortable, but simply because It Is unfashionable. This Is ' one of tho worst species of slavery and op- predion that can well bo Imagined. It Is not to be expected that her nature Is so su perior to thoso who rnoro In higher circles than her own, that sho can content herself with being singled out as an oddity, and called old-fashioned. Snmo of the edicts of fashion are a com pound of ridiculous fully and cowardly weakness. What can bo moropulnftilly hu miliating to a man nf good sense than to see an American lady sweeping our dirty -. -. "-K M of a costly dress, "" '" -. - "v aihsmid to have them scon! So, because ,. , ,. , , , , , .... h" n - - - -r , I dresses, that do the work of street cleaners, to hide positive deformity, American ladles must Imltato the fashion, uven though It may conceal perfection Itself. We know of nothing mure ridiculous than this, unless It bo tho prevailing custom of turning tho fe malo faco entirely out of doors, whether pretty or ugly, simply because 'some one across the Atlantic had more beauty of countenance than modesty aud propriety of deportment. This love of extravagant display, tn fol lowing the fashion In dress, produces the most unhappy effect upon the morals of society. The Superintendent of thu Boston House of Ilcfiigo declared, some years ago that this was the most efficient cause of tho degradation Of the young uud Inexperienced females of that city. Ou thin fact, tho cele brated Miss Sedgwick remarks, with great justice and truth : "If this be to, should not the reformation begin among the educa ted and reflecting I How oan a lady whoio dresses aro teeming with French laces enjoin simplicity and economy upon her domes tics t" New fashions, and their frequent changes, not only nperalo with great hardship and oppression upon tho poorer classes, but they arc also ,-,,., .,' .,,, Iso oppressive to those n tho mldd o of life.

For a lady to wear a shawl which costs some hundreds of dollar, Is wleked, even though her husband aud father may possess unbounded wealth, That we, as a nation, are rapidly losing the principles of virtue and ecouomy which were so eminently Characteristic of our re publican fathers, Is a melaiicholly fact, which no ono will attempt to deny. A lovo of show, extravagance, and display, is an Infat uation that Is leading our land to ruin. It Is the whirlpool that will sooner or later engulf our national glory and prosperity in its foaming vortex. It is a subject upon which we have not time to dwell At greater length to-day, vitally Important though It be. It Is not merely the extravagance which wastes and consumes, that we so deep ly deplore, as it la the depravity and cor ruption that such habits always bring In their train. It Is this which makes them such destructive eaemle of liberty, virtue, and public happiness.

At Hoboken, on the 2d September, tho par ties met, attended by their seconds aud a surgeon. A ridiculous Incident varied tho well-known routine of the proceedings, and furnished tho town-gossip with a joke aud a by-word for many n day. Before leaving home, Col. Burr had been particular to ex plain to his second, Judge Burke, of South Carolina, that tho balls were cast too email for his pistols, and that chamois leather, cut to tbo proper size, must bo greased and put round them to make them At. Leather and grease ncro placed in tho caso with the pis tols. After tho prlsolpals had been placed, Burr notl:cd Judge Burke vainly endeavor ing to drive iu the ramrod with a stone, and at once suspected that the grcaso had been forgotten. A moment after the pistol was handed to him, With that singular coolness which he was wont to exhibit nt critical moments, bo drew the .ramrod, ifelt the ball, and told the judge It was not home, "I know it," replied tho second, wiping tho perspiration from hi face, "I forgot to grease the leather; but you see your man Is ready ; doii't keep him waiting. Just take a crack a it is, nntt I'll greasy tho next." Shots were exchanged without efuct. Mr. Church then made the reuUlte apology, and the parties returned td' the city In the high est good humor. . fiSr Mary Jane Crlbbet brought suit In Cincinnati against Win- Mathers for seduo- tioa and breach of promise of marriage.
