An Aeronaught’s Story. FIGHTING FOR LIFE WITH A MANIAC 10,000
FEET ABOVE THE EARTH-—-A DESPERATE
STRUGGLE FOR THE MASTERY.
A great crowd gathered to see me ascend. Some of the citizens had promised to go with me, but their courage failed at the last moment, and I resolved to go alone.
Wherever I have made ascensions, al- though in widely different places, I had al- ways noticed among the spectators a young man whose unusual pallor and deepsunken, great eyes had impressed me. He was greatly interested in my undertaking, and pressed near to offer any slight assistance. {had beconie su used to his presence that at F I involuntarily looked around for him as I called to my men to make ready. The unknown stood close by the barrier, paler and more haggard thanever. | sprang into the boat and ordered the rope to be cut.
At the same moment I saw a movement among the spectators, but did not heed it, as 1 was arranging sume things in the bot- tom of the boat, and was stooping over and busy when the quickly-rising balloon was

‘“Your obedient servant,sir,” said he very politely.
‘By what right are you here?” I asked indignantly.
“You could not escape me; therefore I have a right to be here,” he said.
Perplexed by this answer I was. silent. Untroubled by my amazement he went on : ‘** In this way we shall never go up.” With these words he seized two bagsof ballast and cast them out.
“Sir,” Leried, angrily catching his arm. “J cannot allow that.” The barometer showed ine that the balloon had risen two thousand feet. ‘‘We must descend,” said I; ‘those clouds darkening around us, and growing blacker and blacker in the south, warn us of a thunderstorm.”
“No,” he cried, ‘‘we must dash through the clouds ; the lightning shall flash far be- jow us,” and once more two bags of ballast

The Drunken €zar.
A correspondent writing from St Peters- ‘burg says: Strenuous efforts have been made to keep the terrible weakness of Alexander ILI. for liquor from the public, but it has been extensively whispered ever since he had his first fit of delirium tre- mnes. Alexander III., shortly after the jassassination of his father, had recourse to stimulants in order to nerve himself sufficiently to meet the real and imaginary dangers which beset him, and the habit lrapidly became one of necessity rather than ichoice. From this point began what would have been to u man _ in private life his | downward career, but the divinity that erects and maintains a well-kept and ever- green hedge around a sovereign also dulls ithe senses of his subjects_to indifference as to whether he is a drunkard or net.
This, however, the Czar of Russia is: a hopeless and ofttimes helpless sot. Among those nearest to him it is well known ; but never mentioned except in whispers, that he has several times suffered from that |most frightful of all species of insanity, delirium tremens, and the narrator alleges his cruelty to thuse who were so unfortu- nate as to come under his hand upon these occasions would have appealed to the finer \sensibilities of the Kiag of Dahomy and caused that fiendish munarch to shed tears of compassion. In his lucid intervals he is ‘reasonable, and even sagacious ; but when junder the influence of champagne or brandy, which two liquors are most delight- ful to the imperial palate, not even his Ministers, and, least of all, his wife and children, can restrain his tendency to imperil his personal safety by exposing himself to the attacks of secret foes in his ‘ungovernable recklessness. It is told of this imperial manaic that on one occasion 'M. de Giers was driven from the Czar's prescence with language unfit to be heara in the lowest haunts of infamy,after having been summoned by his sovereign to report upon some matter affecting Russia’s foreign policy, and that the Czar’s conduct so outraged him that he was only induced to retain his office at the earnest eutreaty of ‘friends and upon the Czar’s subsequent

Suddenly he said: ‘‘You have opened the valve in spite of my orders.” I drop- ped the string. ‘*Fortunately,” he con- tinued, while he flung some bags over the side, ‘‘we have yet 200 pounds of ballast.
