The balloor ascension to he made at Glenbrook Park next Saturday afternoon by Prof. Melville, who has made 41 ascensions on the Coast during the past 214 years, only one of which proved unsuccessful, will no doubt attract a large number of spectators,’ not only because the Professor will give an entertainment well worth attending, but from the fact that alarge share of the receipts for gate money is to be donated to the Nevada Benevolent Society of this city and applied by the latter to worthy charitiable pur}:oses. The process of infiating the balloon is of interest to both old and young, and those on hand prompt‘ly at 2 o’clock can witness it gone through with in all its details. Ii the weather is warm, the inflating should ‘not consume more than half an hour’s time; in fact, in has on several occasions been accomplished in from eight to twelve minutes. Last Sunday the fire was kept burning furiously for an hour and ten: minutes, and even then there was not the buoyancy to the balloon that the Professor desires in order that he may give a thoroughly satisfactory exhibition. Theres were some witnesses of last Sunday’s ascension who thought he did not rise over 200 feet above the ground. The selfregistering barometer in the Pro: fessor’s possession st;owed that he had attained an altitude of 2,950 feet above the starting place, and he says there can be no doubt o. the instrument’s correctness. He gives an interesting description 0: the trip, At the highest-point -attained Glenbrook Park looked tu him about as big as asilver dollar, and Banner and Sugar. Louai mountains faded from view. He could trace the. Sacramento valley some distance and see white spots that he afterwards located on the map as various towns within «+ radius of forty or fifty miles, He says that few people who have not been ballooning realize how dreary the earth looks directly beneath from a hight of even 1000 or 1201. feet, although those on terra firm: looking upward can note comparatively small objects, such as_ the movements of « balloonist’s limbs, with distinctness, From a hight of 1500 feet the earth looks like « dark, even waste, dotted here and there with white spots representing towns. Melville loves hie f ally, and being considerable of » scientist his conversations upot. the subject are delightful to lister. to, especially as he has a simple, straightforward manner totally devoid of ‘‘brag.”’ He expresses himself as much amused at the popular errors that prevail concerning the busines even among peuple otherwise wel informed, arid says that the only way to disapuse people of ' these errors is to take them into the dizzy heights where they will see ano learn things they never dreamed of. re os The McKanlass Troupe. The McKanlass Concert Company gave an entertainment at the Theatre in this city Monday evening to a rather small audience. Professor McKanlass proved himself to possess musical abilities o: ahigh order, manipulating the banjo, violin, cornet and harmoni ca with rare skill. As a wanjoist he particularly cxcels, being without doubt second to none in thi country. In several numbers he played upon two‘instruments of a similar character—a feat that few performers before the, pui:lic. can equal him in. The Professor is a good singer and dances admirably. Miss Montell, the leading soprano, displays a rich and pleasing voice'that has been . thoroughly cultivated, and it was hard tu realize that the beautiful ‘singing with which she favored the audience came from the same person whose childish vocalizations used to muke the dishes rattle in her father’s restaurant ut this city. Miss Emma was complimented with half @ dozen encores. Miss Conchita bas a well-trained contralto voice, and Willie and Adelina give’ pleasing specialties. Mr. Sales is a successful fun-maker. ‘He haz an inexhaustible stock of langhable business, and loses no opportanity to dispense it for the amusement of the listeners.

A Swindler With Moveds: County Mines to Sell. A Philadelphia dispatch of Sun-. day relates tha following: David C. Ferris, a capitalist of Philadelphia, is seeking George S. Carrier of Southampton, Mass., in wrath and sorrow. Up toa late hour to-night the wrath was much in excess of the sorrow. Charles Swain, a mining superintendent ot! California, is also looking for Carrier. : In July, Swain came East to sell California property estimated to be worth $1,000,000. Part of it wasin mines in Nevada county and the rest in grazing and farming lands in San Bernardino county. Swain had until Cctober Ist to sell it. In New York, Swain met Carrier, who said he knew just the people to. buy the property. Vurrier was plausible and got hola: of Swain’s specimens of quartz and all the papers in the cuse,examined them, expressed himself satisfied, said the property ought to bring $600,000, and then recoimmended a New Haven friend as the purchasing party; He got some money from’ Swain and went to New Haven to arrange the matter, out was not successful. He kept vorrowing money of Swain and Swain’s friend Ferris of Philadphia ‘uotil he had run up an account of aearly $2,000. Then he reported that his New Haven friend had agreed to take the property. This enabled him to get more money from his victim. , One day Carrier received word irem home that his child was very ul. He borrowed some money and went home. Ina few duys he (elégraphed that his child had died. Swain followed him to Southampton, Mass., to attend the funeral, Standing beside his dead vhild’s coffin he pledged his word chat upon his return he would get some money from New Haven, close out the transaction and pay his debts. Swain then paid hiv vhild’s funeral expenses. Next Carrier reported that the New Haven parties would take the property, paying $126,000 in Clevesand and the remainder in New York. The money in Cleveiand was to be paid to two representives of Swain, who should be sent from California for the purpose of receiving it: The men «trived-in Cleveland September 29th. Thatday Carrrier borrowed «nore money an! left for parts un+ anown. It was found that the New Haven parties were myths. A warrant for the arrest.of Carcier on acharge of grand larceny. as been sworn out by Swain a:.d une by Mr. Ferris. Ferris is retivent about hislosses. He admits, aowever, having given Carrier #8,500. Swain is out a large umount, Fine Wine Grapes. Wiatt Huffman on Monday evening presented the TRanscaipr editor with some wine grapes of extra fine quality from the vineyard of Frank Dusson in the eastern edge of the city. Ths bunches had an average weight of a pound and a half, and were picked as they came—that is, the largest alone were not selected. Finer grapes are not raised in California, and Monsieur Dusson should hereafter make exhibits at the Fairs, 4s a display of such fruit could not be excelled. He raises an inmense quantity every year considering the limited area of his vineyard, and he makes from them the ‘‘pure juice of the grapes,’’ which is very delicious and healthful.

The McKanlass Concert Company gave an entertainment at the Theatre in this city Monday evening to a rather small audience. Professor McKanlass proved himself to possess musical abilities o: ahigh order, manipulating the banjo, violin, cornet and harmoni ca with rare skill. As a wanjoist he particularly cxcels, being without doubt second to none in thi country. In several numbers he played upon two‘instruments of a similar character—a feat that few performers before the, pui:lic. can equal him in. The Professor is a good singer and dances admirably. Miss Montell, the leading soprano, displays a rich and pleasing voice'that has been . thoroughly cultivated, and it was hard tu realize that the beautiful ‘singing with which she favored the audience came from the same person whose childish vocalizations used to muke the dishes rattle in her father’s restaurant ut this city. Miss Emma was complimented with half @ dozen encores. Miss Conchita bas a well-trained contralto voice, and Willie and Adelina give’ pleasing specialties. Mr. Sales is a successful fun-maker. ‘He haz an inexhaustible stock of langhable business, and loses no opportanity to dispense it for the amusement of the listeners.

A Swindler With Moveds: County Mines to Sell. A Philadelphia dispatch of Sun-. day relates tha following: David C. Ferris, a capitalist of Philadelphia, is seeking George S. Carrier of Southampton, Mass., in wrath and sorrow. Up toa late hour to-night the wrath was much in excess of the sorrow. Charles Swain, a mining superintendent ot! California, is also looking for Carrier. : In July, Swain came East to sell California property estimated to be worth $1,000,000. Part of it wasin mines in Nevada county and the rest in grazing and farming lands in San Bernardino county. Swain had until Cctober Ist to sell it. In New York, Swain met Carrier, who said he knew just the people to. buy the property. Vurrier was plausible and got hola: of Swain’s specimens of quartz and all the papers in the cuse,examined them, expressed himself satisfied, said the property ought to bring $600,000, and then recoimmended a New Haven friend as the purchasing party; He got some money from’ Swain and went to New Haven to arrange the matter, out was not successful. He kept vorrowing money of Swain and Swain’s friend Ferris of Philadphia ‘uotil he had run up an account of aearly $2,000. Then he reported that his New Haven friend had agreed to take the property. This enabled him to get more money from his victim. , One day Carrier received word irem home that his child was very ul. He borrowed some money and went home. Ina few duys he (elégraphed that his child had died. Swain followed him to Southampton, Mass., to attend the funeral, Standing beside his dead vhild’s coffin he pledged his word chat upon his return he would get some money from New Haven, close out the transaction and pay his debts. Swain then paid hiv vhild’s funeral expenses. Next Carrier reported that the New Haven parties would take the property, paying $126,000 in Clevesand and the remainder in New York. The money in Cleveiand was to be paid to two representives of Swain, who should be sent from California for the purpose of receiving it: The men «trived-in Cleveland September 29th. Thatday Carrrier borrowed «nore money an! left for parts un+ anown. It was found that the New Haven parties were myths. A warrant for the arrest.of Carcier on acharge of grand larceny. as been sworn out by Swain a:.d une by Mr. Ferris. Ferris is retivent about hislosses. He admits, aowever, having given Carrier #8,500. Swain is out a large umount, Fine Wine Grapes. Wiatt Huffman on Monday evening presented the TRanscaipr editor with some wine grapes of extra fine quality from the vineyard of Frank Dusson in the eastern edge of the city. Ths bunches had an average weight of a pound and a half, and were picked as they came—that is, the largest alone were not selected. Finer grapes are not raised in California, and Monsieur Dusson should hereafter make exhibits at the Fairs, 4s a display of such fruit could not be excelled. He raises an inmense quantity every year considering

the limited area of his vineyard, and he makes from them the ‘‘pure juice of the grapes,’’ which is very delicious and healthful.
