A Donaldson's Eventful Life. ATHLETIC FEATS OF HIS BOYHOOD FIRST PERSOS TO 1STRODIJCK TUB VELOCIPBDB OS rTUS TWHT BOPB THR CB08SINO OF I AO ABA FALLS ONK OF HIS BABLY FEATS DONALDSON AS ATHLETB, ARTIST, VENTRILOQUIST, VARIETY MAN AND BALLOON 1ST. This celebrated, daring, though careful aeronaut, has possibly paid the great debt of nature. It is two weeks since be made his balloon ascension from Chicago, and no tidings have been received rs to bis late or that of his companion, member of the press. Mr.

Donaldson's litis was full of interesting events. A short narrative of the most promiuint of them will be acceptable to the gentral reader. HIS lilKTnPLACK. He was born Oelober 10, 18 10, on the east side of Second street above Wharton, in the diitriut of Southwark, Philadelphia. His father, David L.

Donaldson, was an alderman in that district for several terms. He was an active politician in those days and fraternized with the adherents of General Harrison in the "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" campaign. The little stranger was named after Washington by the mother, and tbe father added tbe name of Harrison, in honor of the General, who was in tl a following mouth elected President of the United States. YOUNO DONALDSON was sent lo the Weccacoe grammar fcbool, at the corner of Second and Reed streets, and he proved himself to be an apt scholar. He was naturally fond of romantic adventures, and frequently indulged in amateur athletic sports.

His father on one occasion, took him and a brother named Augustine to witness a pantomime, then being performed at General Welsh's National Theatre, at the corner of Ninth and Cbestuut streets, on the site now occupied by the Continental Hotel. The many sceues there enacted had a wonderful rliVct upon the mind of ni he was familiarly called in that early period of his life. It was not long before he engaged himstl', at all convenient times, in practicing various teats of i kill, iu which he admirably succeeded. ONE OF HIS FIRST LTFORT8 was balancing him itlt'ou the top round of a ladder on its end, he ran up the rounds, and then, keeping it in a vertical position, accomplished the balancing iu such a manner as to rather astonish older athletes, who tried the same feat but failed. One day, while on Reed street wharf, be observed a considerable quantity of new rope, which had been placed ttiere for the purpose of being stretched, xoung suggested that the best way to do so would be to place tbe ropes across poles and let him practise KOrE WALKING, RUNNING AND DANCING upon it.

The person who had charge of the rope acquiesced, and the next thing Donaldson was plaving all sorts ot fancy dances and gyra tions, several feet above the ground, much to the astonishment of the people in that section of the city. He had many imitators among the boys of that day, but noue of them possessed natural ability and, therefore, abandoned further attempt. Young Donaldson for a time assisted his fatber, woo possessed rare genius as an artist, but the sen having a sort of roving disposition the confines of a studio became monotonous to him and he began 1 STUDYING LEOBRDEMAIN and accomplished this art to a very high degree in a short time. Besides this be was an excellent ventriloquist, and occasionally amused his friends with wrangling discussions between half a dozen penons, ot uitlereut nationalities, old and young people, occiMvnally introducing a crying babe, in what was supposed to be a dis pute in a New York tenement house. He was the first person to introduce the velocipede on the tigut rope, and was the tint to introduce in this country the balloon trapeze performances, lie also crossed on a wire rope stretched OVER THE FALLS OF NIAGARA, and made the cfTtr, for a stipulated turn of money, to drive a mule over the same wire.

During his public performances in his early days he appeared at Locg's varieties on South Third street. Here he placed his brother Augustine against a board and then threw Spanish knives all around him, which entered the boards within a few inches of the head of Augustine. The latter had great confidence in the skill of his brother, or he would not have submitted himself to such a hazardous ordeal At a later period he introduced a new feature in hia magio art, that of cutting a man's head ott and then restoring him to lite. So exceed ingly natural did this trick appear to be that the audience were horrified at tbe bloody spec tacle. Mr.

Donaldson, when he had prepared l.i. mis jor puuuc exuiuuion, THOUGHT HIS FORTUNE WAS MADE. He was mistaken. In vain did be attempt to onviuee his auditors that "it was all a trick." Finding it to be unpopular he abandoned what lie considered one ot tbe greatest teats in American magic. Returning to his native city he gave several performances on a tight rope stretched across the Schuylkill, below the bridge at Fuirniount, and offered as a matter of business to cook, eat and sleep on that rope for one ween without coming down, ibis, now eve', was not consummated, there being no person or persons willing to remunerate him.

Being naturally fond of novelty, he turned his attention to aeronautics, and in the course of tl me constructed HIS FIKST BALLOON. which he named "Magenta." With this air ship he made ascensions from Reading, Allen town, liethlehem and otber places 1 ennsvl vania. It was during this period of his life mat ne presented tne trapt ze performances in mid air. In a conversation with him about one year ago be said that ballooning was tbe height of his ambition. It seemed to him to be akin to immortality to float around in the vast ethereal space, oftentimes far above the clouds in eternal sunt hine.

He entertained an idea that the earth could be circumnavigated bv means of a balloon or balloons, and he thought ne would be able in lime to satisiactonly de monstrate tuts to the wor.u at lame. His connection with the Graphic balloon enterprise brought him more than anything else under tbe direct notice of Mr. P. T. Barnum, who bnally entered into an agreement with him to make balloon voyages at a stipulated annual salary, TUB LAST BALLOON ASCENSION was made directly in the face of an approaching thunder storm, bat it had no effect upon the nerve of Donaldson, who had long siuce blotted the word lear from Ins vocabulary.

mere are perhaps tome people who will cod sider it a piece of foolhardiuess to go up in a balloon at such a time, but Impartial history will record the fact that Donaldson, ia the event deatb, died doing bis duty to bis era ployer, iu accordance with the agreement above referred to, ami on better epi'aph could be written. ilr. Donaldson was married to young woman of Heading, from whom he was divorced a few years ago. He had two children left to his care, and for whom be bas ever manifested that kind attention to them which is the natural attribute of a good hearted Wtxtte.l'niiadtijmia Jiecont.

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company has for some time been preparing plant and making arrangements to meet the wants of the large concourse of people who will nse the road to visit the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia.

We have heretofore announced that splendid and spacious passenger cars fitted np in the most magnificent style are being constructed for use during the coming year, and this morning we give place to a description of the new depot to be erected by the Company in Fairnioum Park for the accommodation of the Centennial excursionists. It will be a handsome frame structure situated near the Art Gallery. The building will, however, be permanent, and Will serve after the exhibition, as a general depot for park excursionists. LOCATION OF THE DEPOT. It will be located within a sort of triangle formed by the junotion railroad, river road and Landsdowne drive, facing, and west of the railroad, and 800 feet east of tbe Art Gallery.

The depot is intended to be a place for the reunion of parties that have come down to the Exhibition building, and, after having seen the building, are waiting for the departure of the trains in wbioh they came. Trains from the oity and from Pottsville, and along the line of the road, will all discharge their passengers for the Centennial at this point. TUB BUILDING will be in the Frenob Swiss style of architec ture, light and rural in its general outline, and possessing at the same time an imposing appearance. It will comprise one grand ball and waiting room, 48x128 feet, with a ticket office in the centre, and two large wings, each 40x80 feet at either end of tbe building. Of tbe latter the eastern wing will be used as a grand restaurant, to which there will be two entrances from the main hall, with a kitchen 26x30 feet; and the western wing, also 40xtS0 feet, will comprise ladies' and children's waiting rooms, eto.

TUB TRAINS will discharge their passengers upon a conveniently constructed platform, extending along the track for a distance of 660 feet, with a mean width of 35 feet, the greatest width being 6i feet. Tbe main hall will be reached by a grand staircase 43 feet wide, rising from the platform to tbe height oi 20 feet. The visitors will pass from the main hall into the restaurant on tbe east, or through a covered bridge 48 feet wide and 30 feet long, into the Park. The entire staircase will also be covered.

Beneath the main hall, and extending its entire length, there will be A LARGE REFRESHMENT BOOM, to be readied by a platform rising six feet from the lower or track platform. The interior of the building will be varnished, and the tower construction will be kept clear, in ord that the belfry may be seen from below. The exterior will be painted in light colors, the prevailing tint being chromo. The building will bo lighted with large windows in ornamental stained glass, designed to produce a very pleasing effect, particularly at the main hall. As the structure is intended to be a permanent one, it will be finished in a very careful manner throughout, and every means will be taken to render it commodious for visitors, especially for ladies and children, and an ornament to the Park.

THE WORK OF ERECTION will be began in time to have tbe building finished by the Centennial. The plans were prepared by Mr. J. V. Fay, under the supervision of Mr.
