AN EDITOR DINING OUT~ Quite a distinguished citizen of our city, and one of the members of the corps editorial, nnde a short excursion into the country, where they revelled some hours among the breezes and treezes, and finally returned at four o'clock, with appetites ii may easily be imagined, nicely *h irpcncd for the enjoyment of a good dinner. After imbibing a glass of wine bitters, at Hi iOM i /*' ! .1 r it i oi. o uanes, our menu 01 uiu scissors ana quill was invited to join liim in a cjuiet dinner at his own domicil. "I have nothing nice," said he, "for 1 didn't think we should reach honi>; in time to dine, but 1 reolton I can m ike up something that will answer t'ie demands of hunger for the nonce." "Oh, I'm not particular," replied the editor, "anything will answer my purpose. I'm one of those, you know, whose wants are very easily supplied." .S'hortenimr the wav. hvr easv and fa miliar chat, they reached the gentleman's dwelling, and at the summons of a bell, a favorite female servant came to the door, with her shining ebony face v roathcd gaily in smiles. Whispering a few words in her master's ears, almost as soon us he had crossed the threshold, he exclaimed? "You don't say so ! What arc they ?" Now, the editor, though by no means hard of hearing, did not quite distinctly understand the reply, for the reason that he d id not wish to listen to what appeared to bo a private co'o uv. lie thought, however, that the remainder of the conversation was about as follows : "A fine pair of ducks," said the servant. "You don't say so," said the ho.->t. "Well, now, I am satisfied. Who would have thought that. Go into the parlor," said he to his guest, "I'll join you there in about five minutes." The editorial gentleman quietly wend cd his way alone to the parlor, wondering in his own mind why such unusual disturbance about the diniu r should be mnd > in a house where everything was generally conducted in the most simple and unostentatious manner possible ; but nevertheless, sccretly felicitating himself upon the fact that the dinner he was to enjoy was far more inviting than it had been represented. Five, ten, fifteen minutes had elapsed, and his host did not present himself; he fumbled over the pic in cs and noons on me. tuple, playing awhile with tho poodle dog, which was taking a nap on the sofa, half whistled a tune or two, hummed the fraction of a pvtlm, nnd was finally found gazing on n painting of Marv Magdalene, to discover new beauties, when his entertainer made his appearance, just, exnetly the happiest looking man tho editor had ever stumbled upon. "Excuse my detaining you," snid he, "but you heard what Betty said in the door ?" "Oh, yes," replied tho editor. "A p;\ir of 'era, by .love !" "So I understood her to say." "And n tiiw pair I never saw, though I any it who should not; jus plump, as fair nnd as bright as any I ever hid my eyes on : eomo join me in a drink." Adjourning to the sideboard, they fil]?;d their clawes; the editor gave: "ITore^ to them " "Good!" said the ho^t, "hero's to thnm !" The edrMir w?s 'lightly astonished, for his fiiMid's Way of rejoicing ovor the ducks was quite singular?he. tossed oft' hi* vine and commenced promenading 1111 "liffr v.1 the room, rubbing his hands, chuckling, anJ occasionally givi >g vent to n guffaw. "A p.iir?who d have thought it, and ft 11 doing so nicely too!" was his exclamation. "How are you having them fixed ?" inquired his visiter. | "All, 1 leave that to tue women 01 | course, 1 don't meddle with that busiI nesa," "But it's .1 pity, considering they are : so very fine, that you havu't another J friend to dine with you!" J "Pardon mc, I forgot, I hiu compelled ' to ask you tc go somewhere else for your dinner." "To do what?" "To dine somewhere else ! You see all i h in confusion, the servants are all as buI ? ? ? - r.. .4 ; sy as oees, it was so um:xpuciuu?m iuui, . 1 didn't think it would co:nc ofl' lor a | week." "Co-i'.c otf, what do you mean?" "Why the aiV.tir up stairs." "And what the dc\il is the affair up stairs." "Why I thought you heard what the girl said at the door?" j "So I did?she s;sid you had a fine pair of ducks for dinner." "Fine pair of what ?" "Of ducks!" "Fine dcviis. She told me that while we hud been absent my wife had presen ted mo with u line pair of twins, both ' boys." ****** I The list we beard of the poor editor, I1U U tW Uill VI auup OVIHiU y UUU alone"?at a restaurant in (J hurtles street, 1 A 150 MILES TRIP IN A BALLOON.

IKU1IV U 1X1 UUti| j who set out from that town in a balloon I on Sunday evening, the 2d ot' September, j at G o'clock. Letters from Turin have j been received, announcing his arrival on 1 the 3d, at 2 o'clock, a. in. (j. o. eight ' hours after his departure,) at the Abuey of Stupini, not far from the capital of IV ! edmont. We subjoin the itinerary of Mr. i A rluin "Having set out on Sunday evening, the 2d ul (September, from the Chateau tie.; Flours, Marseilles, 1 passed over the wood ot Ksterel at U o'clock, and my experiments showed me that 1 was then at an elevation ot 1UU0 metres. 1 he temperature was already cold, but dry, and my centigrade thermometer ma iked lour degieis below zero. '1 lie wind blew fcSuuthnest, and carried me towards Mice. For two hours 1 was enveloped in tlnek clouds above my head; my pelisse was no longer sutlicent to protcct me against the cold ; and my feel suffered most guevously. 1 ucveriiieless resolved to comin ue my voyage, deciding to cross the Alps, from which 1 knew 1 was not far distant; my supply of gas being sutiicient to raise my balloon above uie highest peaks. Tnc cold increased, the wind hccame steady, am: the moon lightened my path like tnc meridian sun. i was at ti.e loot of the Alps; the snow, the cascades, and the mountain torrents sparkled in the light; the abysses and rocks iormcd large black m isses, which served us a shade ic I Ilic iri.r >nli<' nii>!iii'? 'I'lm win.I i".illn>i b*0 .1.1..V,. ballLd liie regularity of my coin so ; 1 wat ; alternately obliged 10 desend and ascend, itl order to surmount the incessant peaks, it was 11 o'clock at night when 1 attained the summit of the Alps ; the horizoi then becamc clear and my course regular i then began to think oi supper, t was 1GU0 metres high ; and was obliged as < matter oi necessity to continue my voyagi towards Piedmont. 1 only saw a cnao. before me, into which a descent was im possible. 'After having supped, I con ceived ihc idea oi throwing my empt) brandy bottle into the midst of tne snow) waste, in order that any subsequent trav cller might discover some \esiige of mj asccnt. At half-past 1 a. m. 1 lound my telf above Mount V'iso, which 1 knew well having explored it on a former occasion The i'o and the Durance thence derive their source, i recognized Hie position and discovered its magniiicenl plains, lie fore this conviction had been obtained, i singular elfect of mirage, produced by tin reflection of the moon on the snow and i the clouds, would have led me to imagine I that I was on the open sea. The we.il ' wind, however, had not ceased to blow, i and my exact observations showed me i inat l couiu not ue mucn uqovc ine jcvcj of the sea. The stars camc to my assislance, and 1 descried Mount Blanc, the position of which indicated that 1 Wiia approaching Turin. Mount Jilanc on my left, soared above all the clouds, and resembled an immense block of crystal, which scintillated with a thousand corusj cations. At a quarter to 3 o'clock, Alt. j Viso clearly showed me that 1 was near i Turin ; and 1 resolved to descend, 1 did j so without dillicultj . i descended in the vicinity of an immense farm; several | wo' :>idogs greeted me, and my pelisse ?

They informed mo that it ; was 2 o'clock in the morning, and that 1 was in the village of Pion Forte, nearQtu ? | pini, six kilometres 1'ioni Turin. I passed I tl)C lUglK 111 ino Iiiriiiuuuac, uuv* iuu UV4V morning obtained a certi6cato from tho Mayor, attesting my arrival. . I reached Turin at 0 o'clock, a. m. and immediately wrote to my dear wife at Chateau des Fleuis. 1 then repaired to M. l>oia le Comte, the French Ambassador, who de, livered me a passport, and at 11 o'clock I attended mass in tho Church of Madre di-Dio, at th funeral service in honor of ! the death of Charles Albert. I afterwards 1 saw a review ; in the evening I went to ; tho Theatre of Angonncs; Ligier played i tlir> nurt of Louis XI. I could not help meditating on the fact, that on tho prece1 ding evening, at tho selfsame hour, I was . at tlio Chateau des Fleuru, ut Marseilles, i near 140 leagues distant!" IX FOR IT?IIOW TO GET OUT. Once on a time there was a gentleman who won an elephant in a radio, j It was a very tine elephant, and cheap , at the price the genileina paid for his chance. But the gen tie ma u had no place to put ] i: in. ; iNoboily would take 11 on ins nanus, lie could'nt alford to feed it. 11c was a!raid of tho law if he turned it louse into the streets. lie was too humane to let it starve, lie was afraid to shoot it. In short, he was in a perplexity very i natural to a gentleman with?moderate ; means, a small house, common feelings of Immunity?and an elephant. France has won her elephant at Home, ) She has brought back inu Pope. She is at her wits' end what to do | with him. She can't abet the Pope and tho Gar ' dinals, because she interiercd in ihe cause j of Liberty. She can'1- abet Republicans, because she interfered ill the cause et' the Pope : and Cardinals. She can't act wit Austiia, because ! Austria is absolute. ! ,Vhe can't act against Austria, because j France is conservative and peaceful. She can't continue her army in Home, I because it is not treated with respect. I She can't withdraw her army from j Rome, because that would be to stultify j herself. >Shc can't go forward, because :>he insis i ted on the Rumuu people going backward. cMii't (in luLckuMnl. hi'i'Rii.Ni* I.lie Freneli people insist 011 her going lorj waru. fcihe can't choose the wrong, because public opinion Juices her to the right, i /b'ho can't choose the light, because her own dishonesty has forced her to the I wron.g j In one word, slic is on the horns of a dilemma, and the more she twists, the . | more sharply she feels the point on which she is impaled, like a cockchafer in a cab inet, for the inspection ol the curious in : ! he lighter and more whirligig species of : political etymology. Poor France?will nobody take her piecious bargain oil her hands? lxoine is j her bottle imp. tthe bought it dear enough, but can't get rid oi it at any 1 price. :!
