A FEENCH STORY. An Ride with a Man. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writing from Paris says Here is the last baloon story Monsieur Godard, in his last journey to the clouds but due was accompanied by a single fellow traveler, who had paid one thousand Panes tor the privilege of a place by the side of the celebrattd aeronaut.

The weather was splendid aud the baloon bad reached a considerable height. "What effect has it on you?" inquired Mr. Godard of his companion. "None was the cuit reply. "I must compliment you," said M.

Godard, "You are the first amateur I have ewer known to reach this altitude without experiencing some emotion." "Go higher," said the amateur coolly. M. Godard threw out some ballast, aud the baloou Hew up some sixty yards higher. "Now, how do you feel "Just as usual," said the companion, in rather a petulant lone. "By Jove!" exclaimed M.

Godard, "you are a boi aeronaut, sir The baloou kept on rising, aud, when a few hundred yards higher, M. Godard, for the third time, questioned his companion as to hi. emotions. "Emotions not a trace of emotions," replitd be, with the tone of a man who feels that he has been taken in. "Well, so much the worse," said the aerouant.

"1 see I shall not be able to alarm you we have risen high euough aud we shall now descend." "Descend "Yes, certainly; it would be dangerous to go higher." "I don't care about the danger, and I don't choose to descend. I'am going higher, I am. 1 paid one tbouiand francs in order to exDertence some emotions, aud emotions I'll have before going down again." M. Godard burst out laughing. He thought the mau was joking.

"Are you going higher up or not?" said the companion, at the same time grasping M. Slodard by the throat and sbakiug him violently. "1 intend to have my emotions." M. Godard saw at a glance that he had to do with a madman. The dilated eyes, tipi furious grasp, the very tone ot bis voice lest no doubt about that.

But what was to be done? They were some 3,000 feet high among the clouds; a struggle was out of the question, as one violent motion of the madman would be euough lo upset the car. All these thoughts passed through M. Godard's miud in less than a second. His adversary was a powerful mau, and, without looseniug his grasp, he called out, "Ah my tine fe'low, you have beeu playing the foci with me. You have made me pay one thousand francs and not given a single emotion." "Well, but what would you have me do?" asked M.

Godard, calmly aud soothingly, "I'm going to throw you over, the madman, with a wild laugh first au idea strikes me I'll go up to the top of the and, suiting the action to the word, he jumped into the rigging of the car. "But, my poor frieud," said the aeronaut, you'll kill youisely like that "said "but The madman uttered a threat, M. Godard, "let me put a rope around your waist to prevent an accidei At we higher. "Agreed mid the madman, who seemed to enjoy the idea of so prodigious The aeronaut keeps to his word he throws out uearly the whole of his ballast and the balloon shoots np rapidly bui while the madman is attentively watching this operation M. Godard observes that among the cordage as yet untouched is the pulley ot the gas escape.

He gently draws the cord aud the gas begins to escape immediately under the spot where the lunatic is perdied. In a few moments the combined eflects of the gas and the now intensely rarifled air are apparent and the madman sinks into a state of lethargy. The aeronaut cautiously brings down his balloon and the terrible crisis is ended. In African in London the kino of bonny and the liberian I'RKMIKK SEEING EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION. From the Cincinnati Commercial.

London, July King of Bonny to the Eboe tribe, and on a throne which has belonged to family for twenty-seven generations. He a tine-looking man, over six feet high, of fhapely frame, and ot a complexion that ca, color," though there is not a particle of European blood in his He wan and Is not yet years of age. He has a mind well formed, acute, and smaulike, and is entirely absorbed in the work of jusfly governing his subjects of Uouuy, who are just emerging from barbarism. Ina conversation I have just bad with him by a of Ir eigM chiefs, these being representative of about twenty chiefs distributed through the country. Peaceful government in Bonny means inducing these chiefs to co-operate and not fall out with each other.

The towns and villages have each its Governor, chosen by agreement of its residents with the central Council, and this local officer's chief work is judicial. From his Magisterial decisions there exists a right of appeal, and the King, with his Council, hear the appeal, and decide upon it. The practice of offering human has been so nearly trampled out that if an instance of it it occasionally does in the remoter corners of the Is made the subject ot special inquiry and rebuke. chief form in which native superstition survives is 111 the homage paid to a small, white, glistening serpent called the Lomboth, that is, the Leaner. It is beautiful, and its bite is deadly.

It climbs trees, whence it sometimes leaps on its victim beneath, and it leaps from branch to brauch, so as to travel far without touching the ground. It is these leaping tree-snakes probably which have given to monkeys their frantic terror at sight of a snake and if in the anthropoid period any superior monkey aud monkeyess had gained a securer place, defended by precipices from quadrupedal beasts, they might still have tound one of these Leapers in their simial Eden. The Eboes who inhabit Bonny have a tradition that the Hebrews were originally captured in their country by Egyptian invaders, and they shrink from explorers coming from that region. There are some curious philological coincidences pointing in favor of their tradition; for instance, they call the Destroying Angel Abadan, ana their name for sorcery, Obeaisra, resembles the Obe woman or Pythoness, of the Cible. One belief which the people of Bonny have closely resembles that Plato, as detailed in the vision of Er the Armenian it is that after death human spirits are able to return to this world in any form they choose, and they generally choose such forms, animal or numan, as will enable them to avenge the rungs they have suffered while encased in flesh.

The worst specimens of white men, especially kidnappers, are sometimes believed to be tne rein-carnations of negroes who wish to punish certain persons or tribes by whom they were ill-used during life. This belief extends among some tribes which have been visited by Stanley, and they have no difficulty in indentiiying him as one of these vindictive ghosts. These learned Africans have perfect fath in the future of their country. They report a continual progress among the people, but they plainly do not think it is materially aided by the They do not speak with prejudice or mosity against the missionaries, and careful to mention with gratitude the services done by some of them. But they still feel that what Africa is knowledge rather than creeds.

They believe that it would be more helpful to the negroes if, instead of merely repeating the command. "Thou not steal, they were to show them how they can untold the vast resources of their country, and, having gained comfort by houest industry, have no need to Having both lived in England beforehand being now familiar with its great achievements in science and art, they long for the day when such forces as these shall be brought to bear on that country. If the ig of Bonny had been reading the UniStates papers from his cradle to his throne, he could hardly be better informed of the exact progress of events there during the last twenty years. I need hardly add that both he and Dr. Blyden entertained here with the greatest respect by persons of high they were the lions of the Caledonian fancy ball last night, patronized by the Queen and conducted by the Scotch an equally cordial reception will be accorded to the United States negro Senator should he remain here long enough to participate in the festival of our season.

Dr. Edward W. Blyden, the Liberian Minister, was born in the West Indies, and is much darker than the King of Bonny. He is a highly cultivated gentleman, and his articles on Africa and Mohammedanism in that country, live of which have appeared in recent numbers of Fraser's Magazine, are the very best 0,1 their subject which have been pubI lished in England. The style is clear and forciWe an the matter be-speaks a thiuker who has thoroughly mastered the subject of which he treats.

Accordot ing to Dr. Blyden, Mohammedanism not only steadily gains ground in Africa, but many features which particularly anbe rationalized description, its para di8e is spiritua ized, and its hell ree from physical terrors.
