fONTINUKll.
Ill tho sides of the covering thus ad
justed around tho car, had bien insert
ed tlneo circular panes of thick but
clear glass, through which I could f-eo
without difficulty around me in every
horlzonhil direction. In that portion
of tho cloth fotmlng tno bottom, was
likewise a fourth window, of thn snino
kind, and corresponding with a small
iiperture In tho floor of tint ear Itself.
This enn bled mo to hto perpendicularly
down, but having found it impossible
to place any Mmilar contrivanco over-
heatl, on account of the peculiar man
ner of cl osingup the opening there.und
tho coiirrqiieiit wi inkles in tho cloth, I
could expect to etc no objects situated
directly in mj zenith. This, of course,
was a iiiatu-rof Httlu consequence; for
hud I even been ablo to place a window
at top, the balloon Itself would hnvo
lire vented my making any Hie of It.
About a loot below one of tho side
windows was a circular opening, three
inches iu diameter, nnd fitted with
brass rim adapted In its inner edge to
tho windings of n screw. In thin lim
was i-crewcd the Inrgo tubo of tho eon
denser, the body of tho niachlno being,
of course, within the chambpr of gum
elastic. Through this tubo a quantity
of tho rare titinosplieie circumjacent
being drawn by means ol n rafiiiira
createtl in tho body of Iho machine, was
thenco discharged, in a state ofconden
button, 'to mingle with tho thin ulr al
ready In tho chamber. Tills operation
being repeated several times, nt icngtl
filled tho chamber with utmospheio
proper for all tho purposes of respira
tion, llut in bo confined a space it
would, In a short tini", necessarily
become foul, and unfit for uo from
frequent contact with the lungs.
It was then ejected by a small valvo
at tho bottom of tho car; tho deiibo nir
readily sinking Into tho thinner atmo
sphere below. To avoid tho inconven
ience of making a total vacuum at any
moment within tho chamber, this puri
fication was never accomplished all at
once, but In a gradunl manner, the
valvo being oi entd only for a few sec
ond, then closed again, until one or
two strokes from tho pump ol tho con
denser had supplied tho place of tho
lifnioMihcro t-iccted. For thu s.iko of
experiment I had put tho cat and Kit-
tensJnn small basnet, atui siispeiuicti
it outside tho car ton button at thu bot
tom, close by tho valve, through which
I could feed them nt uny moment when
necessary. I dUrthls at some llttlo risk,
und beforo closing tho mouth of tho
chamber, by reaching under tho car
with one of the poles beforo mentioned
to which u hook had been attached. As
soon us deuse air was admitted In tho
chamber, tho hoop and poles becaino
unnecessary; tho expansion of the en
closed ntmosphero powerfully distend
ing tho gum-elnstlc.
lly tho tlmo 1 had fully completed
these iirrai:geiiienfH,iuid filled thueliani.
bents explained, It wanted only ten
minutes of nino o'clock. During the
wholu period of my being thus employ
ed, I endured thn most terrible distress
from difllculty of respiration; und bit
terly did I repent tho ncgllgenco, or
rather fool-hardiness, of which I had
licon guilty, of putting off to tholaat 1
moment a matter or so much impor
tance'. But having nt length accom
plished It, I soon begun to reap tho ben
efit of my Invention. Onco ngnln I
breathed with perrcct freedom nnd cnao engagement of tho basket nnd Its nbso
and Indeed why should 1 not? I was lutodlsappoaranco with nil that It con-
nlso ngreenbly surprised to find myself,
In n great measure, relieved from tho
violent pains which had hitherto tor
mented me. A slight headache, accom
panied with it sensation of fulness or
distention about the wrists, thn ankles,
nnd the throat, was nearly nil of which
I had now to complain. Thus It seemed
evident tlintngrcaterpartof tho uneas
iness nttcndlng the removal of atmos
pheric pressure had actually tcorn oj,
an I had expected, nnd that much of tho
pain endured for the last two hours
should hnvo been attributed altogether
to Uiu effects of u deficient respiration
At twenty minutes beforo nine o'clock
thai Is to say, n short time prior to
my closing up the mouth of the chum
ucr, tho murcury ntlalncil lis limit, or
ran down, in thu batometer, which as 1
mentioned berore,wasonoof an extend
en eoii.su net ion. it then intiicatctl tin
allltuuo on my part oi ix.',iimu feet, or
flvc-aiid-lwcnty mlles,atid I conse
quently fctirveycd at that time tin ox
tent of tho earth's area amounting to
no less than tho threo-hundred-and
twentieth part of its entiro superficies.
At nine o'clock I had again lost sight
of laud to Uin eastward, but not beforo I
oceanic awaro mat tno uaiioon was
drifting rapidly to tho N. N. W,
The ocean beneath mo still retained Its
apparent concavity, although my view
was often Interrupted by tho masses of
cloud which floated to and fro.
At half past niuo I tried tho uxpori-
ment of throwing out n handful of
feathers through tho valve. They did
not float as I had expected ; but drop
ped down perpendicularly, llko a bullot
cn masse, nnd with tho greatest velocity,
being out of sight lu a very few sec
onds. I didnotnt first know what to
make of this extraordinary phonomcu-
on; not heing nolo to believe that my
ralo of n-iccnt had, of a sudden, met
with so prodigious an acceleration, But
it soon occurred to me that tho atmos
phere was now far too rare to sustain
even the feathers ; that they actually
fell, as they appeared to do, with great
rapidity ; nnd that I had been surprised
by tho united velocities of their descent
nnd my own elevation.
l)y ten o'clock I found that I had
very ltttio to occupy my immediate at
tention. Affairs went ou swimmingly,
and I believed the balloon to bo going
upwards with a speed Increasing mo-
mently, altho ugh I had no longer any
means ol ascertaining tho progression
of tho Increase. I suffered no pain or
uneasiness of any kind, und enjoyed bet
tor spirits than I had at any period
slnco my deparluro from Rotterdam ;
busying myself now in examining tho
state of my various apparatus, and now
in regenerating tho atmosphere within
thu chamber. This latter point I de
termined to attend to at regular inter
vals of forty minute--, moro on account
of the preservation of my health, than
from so frequent n renovation being ab
solutely necessary. In tho meanwhllo
I could not help making anticipations.
Fancy levelled In tho wild and dreamy
regions of the moon. Imagination,
feeling herself for onco unshackled,
roamed nt will among thu ever-changing
wondeis of u shadowy ttud unstable
lantla Now there wero hoary and tlmo
honored forests, and craggy precipices,
anil waterfalls tumbling with a loud
nolso into abysses without a bottom.
Then I camo suddenly into still noon
day solitudes. whero no wind of heaven
ever Intruded, and where vast meadows
of poppIi'S,and slender,llly-lookliig flow
ors spread themselves out a weary dis
tance, all silent and motionless forever.
Then nguin I Journeyed far down away
into another country whero it was all
one dim and vague lake, with a boundary-line
of clouds. Put fancies such
as these wero not the sole possessors of
my brain. Horrors of a naturo most
stern und most appalling would too fre
quently obtrudo themselves upon my
mind, nnd shake the innermost depths
of my soul with Iho l.uro supposition of
their possibility. Yet I would not suf
fer my thoughts forany length of tlmo
todwell upon these latter (peculations,
riglitlyjudglng tho real and palpablo
dangers of tho voyage siifllcient for my
undivided attention.
At five o'clock, I', m., being engaged
In regenerating the ntmosphero with
in tho chamber, 1 tool; that opportunity
of observing tho cat and kittens through
tho valve. Tho cat herself appeared to
sillier again very much, anil 1 hail no
hesitation in attributing Iter uneasiness
chiefly to a difllculty In breathing; but
my experiment with tho kittens had
resulted very strangely. I had expect
ed, of course, to seo them betray a sense
of pain, although iu a less degree than
their mother; nutl this would havo been
siifllcient to confirm my opinion con
cerning the habitual endurunco of at
liiosnlicrlc pressure, llut I was not
prepared Jo find them, upon close ox-
ainliiatlon, evidently enjoying a high
degreo of health, breathing with the
greatest easo and perfect regularlty.nnd
evincing not thu slightest sign of un
easiness. I could only account for all
this by extending my theory, and sup
posing that tho highly rarefied ntmos
phero around, might perhaps not be, as
I hud taken for granted, chemically in
sufllclent for tho purposo of life, and
that a person born In such a medium
might, possibly, bo unuwnro of any in
convenience attending Its Inhalation
while, upon removal to tho denser lira
la near Uio earth, ho might endure tor
tures of a similar naturo to those I had
so lately experienced. It has slnco been
to mo a matter of deep regret that an
awkwaril accident, ut this time, oceus
Inued mo the) loss of my llttlo family of
cits, mid deprive) me of tho Insight In
to (Ids matter which n continued ox
perlniMit might havo afforded, hi
passing my hanil through the valve,
with n cup of water for the old puss.tho
sleeve of my shirt become entangled III
tho loop which sustained tho basket
and thus, In a iiiomcutdooseucd it from
tho button. Had tho wholo actually
vanished, Into iilr, 11 could not lmvo
shot from my sight In a raoro abrupt
nun lnsinnianoous manner, x'osuivciy
there, could not havo lntorvcncd tho
tenth part of a second between tho dla
tnlncd. My good wishes followed It to
tho earth, but, of course, I had no hopo
that cither cat r kittens would over
livo to tell tho tnlo of their misfortune.
At six o'clock, I perceived a great
portion of tho earth's vlslbloarca to tho
eastward Involved In thick shadow,
which continued to ndvnnco with great
rapidity, until, nt flvo minutes beforo
seven, tho wholo surfaco In view was
enveloped hi the darknessof night. It
was noj, howover, until long nfter this
tlmo that tho rays of tho setting sun
ceased to lllumlno the balloon j nnd this
circumstance, although of course fully
anticipated, did not fall to give me an
lnflntto deal of pleasure. Jt was ovldent
that, in tho morning, I should behold
tho rising luminary many hours nt least
beforo tho citizens of Rotterdam, In
splto of their situation so much farther
to tho eastward, nnd thus, day nfter
day, In proportion to tho height ascend
cd, would I onjoy tho light of tho sun
for a longer nnd n longer period. I now
determined to keep a Journal of my
passage, reckoning tho days from ono
to twenty-four hours continuotisly,wlth
out taking into consideration tho inter
vals of darkness
At ten o'clock, feeling sleepy, I de
termined to 1 io down forthc rest of tho
night; but hero n difllculty presented
itself, which, obvious as it may appear,
iiad escaped my nttentlon up to tho
very moment of which lam now speak
ing. If I went to sleep as I proposed,
how could tho almospheroin tho cham
ber bo regenerated In the interim T To
breathe It for moro than nn hour, nt tho
farthest, would bo a matter of Impossi-
bility : or, if even tills term could bo
extended to an hour and a quarter, tho
most ruliiousconsenucucos michteiisuo,
Tho consideration of this dilemma gavo
mo no llttlo disquietude ; and it will
hardly be believed, that, after tho dan
gcrsllind undergone,! should look upon
this business in so serious a light, as to
glvo up all hopo of accomplishing my
design, and finally make up my mind
to tho necessity of a descent. But this
hesitation was only momentary. I
reflected Hint man is tho veriest slave
of custom, and that many points in tho
routine of his cxistenco are deemed m-
scntially important, which aro only so
at all by Ids having rendered them
habitual. It was very certain that
could not do without sleep ; but I might
easily bring myself to feel-no inconven
denco from being awakened at intervals
ol an hour during tho wholo period of
my repose. It would requlro but flvo
minutes at most, to regencralo tho at
mosphcro In tho fullest manner and
the only real difllculty was, to contrivo
a method of arousing myself at tho
proper moment for so doing. Put this
was a question which, I am willing to
confess, occasioned mo no llttlo trouble
n its solution. To be sure, I had heard
of tho student who, to prevent his fall
ing nslcep over his books, held in ono
land a ball of copper, the din of whoso
descent Into a basin of tho sauio metal
on the floor besldo his chair, served ef
fectually to sturtlo him up, If, at nny
moment, lie should bo overcomo with
el rows I n ess. My own case, however,
was very ellfl'erent Indeed, nnd left me
no room for nny similar idea; for I did
not wisli to keep awake,but to bo arous
ed from slumber, at regular Intervals of
time. I at length hit upon tho follow
ing expedient, which, simplous It may
seem, was hulled by mo, at tno moment
of dIscovery,as nn invention fully equal
to that of tho telescope, tho steam-en
gine, or tho art of printing itself.
Tt is necessary to premise, that tho
balloon, at tho clovation now attained,
continued Its course upwards with un
oven nnd undoviating ascent, nnd the
car consequently followed with n stead-
ncss so perfect that it would havo been
Impossible to detect in It Iho slightest
vacillation. This circumstance favor
ed mu greatly In tho project I now do-
tcrmin Mil to adopt. My supply of wat
er had been put on board iu kegs con
taining flvo gallons each, and ranged
very securely around tho interior of tho
car. X unfastened ono or these, ami
taking two ropes, tied them tightly
across tho rim of tho wicker-work from
one sldo to tho other; placing them
about a foot apart and parallel, so as to
forma kind of shelf, upon which 1 plac
cd tho keg, and steadied it in a horizon
tal position. About eight inches imme
diately below these ropes, and four feet
from the bottom of the car, 1 fastened
another shelf but mado of thin plank,
being tho only similar pleco of wood I
had. Upon this latter shelf, and ex
actly beneath ono of tho rims of tho keg
a small earthen pitcher was deposited,
I now bored a holo in tho end of tho keg
over tho pitcher, nnd fitted lu a plug of
soft wood, cut In a tapering or conical
shnpc.Tlds plug I pushed Inor pulledout
as might happen, until, ufleru few exper
iments, It arrived at that exact degreo
of tightness, at which tho wnter, oozing
from the hole, and falling into thopltch
cr below, would fill tho latter to tho
brim Iu tho period of sixty minutes.
This, of course, was a matter briefly
and easily ascertained, by noticing tho
proportion of the pitcher filled in any
given time. Having arranged all this
tho rest of tho plan is obvious. My bed
was so contrived upon tho floor of tho
car, as to bring my head, in lying down
immediately below tho mouth of the
pitcher. It was evident, that, ut tho
expiration of nu hour, tho pitcher, get
ting full, would bo forced to run over,
mid to run over at the mouth, which
was iomowhat lower than tint rim. It
was nlso ovldent, that tho water, thus
falling from n height of moro than four
feet, could not do otliciwlso than fall
upon my face, and that the sum conso-
iiiiimco would be, to waken iniup In
staiitauiously, oven from tho roundest
slumber lu tho world
It was fully eleven by tho tlmo I had
completed those arrangements and
Immediately betook myself to bcel

I disappointed. I'tinctunlly overy Bixty
minutes was I nrouscd by my trusty
chronometer, when, having emptied
tho pitcher into tho bung-holo of tho
keg, nnd pcrformol tho duties of tho
condenser, I retired ngnln to bed. Tlicso
regular Interruptions to my slumber
caused inn oven less discomfort than I
had anticipated ; nnd when I finally
nroso for tho day, It was seven o'clock,
nnd tho sun had nttalncd many degrees
nbovo tho lino of my horizon.
A Bridegroom Gets Drunk, and tho
"Best Wlan" Marries tho Bride.
Tho Port Hopo Canadian says that n
couple residing in thu rural districts, not
far from town, wero engaged to bo mar
ried, and wero "called" threo times In
ono of tho town churches, Ou tho day
appointed for the celebration of the
ceremony which was to "make this
twain ono flesh," tho happy couplo
enmo to town arrayed in all tho glory
of now storo clothes, bringing with
them a brother of tho bridegroom, who
was to ofllcialo as "best man," and who
tho resnlt proved, was entitled to that
choractcr. Leaving tho blushing dam
sel in charge of his brother, tho Intend
cd husband adjourned to a bar-room to
get "something hot" to cheerhls spirits
under tho trying ordeal through which
ho was to pass. Hero ho met some
friends, and amid tho congratulations
with which ho was overwhelmed, par
took of moro than wusneccssary for tho
purposo of elovatlng his courage to tho
proper point, and soon becamo oblivious
to all sublunary matters, wedding party
bride, prospective bliss, and all. After
waiting a reasonable time for Ids reap-
pcarance, Ids afllanccd und tho rest of
tho party grow uneasy, and finally nn
expedition was organized logo in search
of him. They discovered him In the
tavern In a comatose condition, and re
ported tlint fact in tho proper quarter.
Tho bride boro up bravely under this
trial, declaring that sho didn't caro a
cent, ho was a good-for-nothing drunk
en wretch, and she wasgladto get clear
of him. Moreover, she was not going
to bo humbugged that way out of get
ting a husband; sho catno to town to bo
married, and married sho was dctor
mined to bo to tho first man that
would tako her, Rather than sco the
girl disappointed about a trifle llko that
tho brother who camo to do tho "best
man" business volunteered to bo her
victim himself. Tho bargain was soon
made, and oil" ho started for a license,
returning In n short time, when they
wero married and started for home,
leaving tho other individual to enjoy
his little sprco as best ho could. The
affair has created no llttlo talk, and
much merriment among those acquain
ted with tho facts, nnd tho intended
husband, is now having n rough tlmo
among tho wag3.
Never Traveled.
A story is told of an old lady who
lived near Rochester, who had never
seen or traveled on a railroad. Wanting
to go on a visit to a small town a short
distance from tlic-eity, sho thought sho
would try ono of tho pesky things.
She went to tho ticket office, carrying
her rctlculo on ono arm and nn old
fashioned rocking chair on tho other.
Sho bought her ticket, walked out on
tho platform, put down her rocklng
chalr, sat down In It, took out her knit
ting, and went to work diligently.
Steadily sho rocked and worked, trains
coming In or leaving as tho car time
rolled round. Tho old lady made no
attempt to get on board tho cars, but
kept knitting.
Tho day drew to a close, and night
camo on. Tho last train was about
starting, when tho depot master went
up and asked her if sho wns going out.
"Yes, sir," replied tho lady.
"Hadn't you better get on board nnd
secure nseat?" said tho depot master.
'Thank, you sir, I'm very comfort-
able," replied tho elderly dame,
Tho train lelt. Tho master came
around again
"Madam, I shall havo to disturb you;
it is Into ; tho trains havo nil left, and
wo must closo tho depot. Shall I send
you to a hotel?"
Well!" exclamcd thn old liuly, drop
ping her knitting nnd holding up her
hands, "ain't tho thing going to move?
Hero I brought my chair from homo so
as to havo a seat, on which somo pesky
man couldn't squeezo himself. I've set
hero all day waltln' for tho thing to go,
and hero I'vo had all my troublo for
nothing. I thought It was a long time
moving. I declare that tlicso hero rail
roads is tho biggest nulsunco and hum
bug at ever was I" and tho old lady,
with bag on ono arm nnd rocking-chair
on tho other, gavo n toss of her head
and marched off in high indignation.
The
Most Remarkable) rather
and Son.
A most rcmarktiblo case of consan
guineous uffectlonnnd sympathy Is that
of n father and son, living in thondjoin
lug county of Iteming. Tho father Is
about 15 years of ago and the son Is not
yet 20. Wheu ono has uny complaint
tho other Is blmilarly affected. If tho
father has tho headuchc,tho son has it at
tho sumo time; if ono suffers with tho
toothache tho other also suffers with It;
whon ono gets a cold, tho other gots It
nlso; nnd to It goes on through all the
cataloguo of ordl nary complaints. But
yet moro rcmarkablo still Is thoslmllar-
Ity of their appetites, temperaments
mid general actions. What ono likes
und eats tho other likes aud eats; and
what ono dislikes and won't eat, the
other dislikes nnd won't cat. Ifono bo-
comes angry, or gloomy or happy, to
the same degreo and nt tho same times
is mo oilier ungry.orgioomy, or nappy,
They sncczo at thosamo time, sleep tho

they dream at tho snmo time, and tho
dream of tho ono is tho sanio as that
tho other. Wo might goon and enu
merato many other instances of tho re

Tho Iscariots of tho World.
John Ruskin, in tho Crown of Wild
Olives, characterizes in his trenchant
stylo thoso who llko to havo money as
imitators of Judas:
"Wo do great injustice lolscariotin
thinking lilm wicked nbovo all wicked
ness. Ho is only a common money
lover, nnd llko nil money lovers did
not undcrstnnd Christ; could not mako
out tho worth of him or meaning of
him. Ho didn't want him to bo killed.
Ho was horror-struck when ho found
that Christ would bo killed; threw ids
money away instantly and hanged him
self. How many of our present money
seekers, think you, would havo graco
to hang themselves whenever thoy
killed? But Judas was a common, sel
fish, muddlo-hcaded, pilfering fellow;
ids hand always in the bag of tho poor,
not caring for them. Ho didn't under
stand Christ, yet ho believed in him
much moro than most of us do, had Been
him do miracles, thought ho was strong
enough to shift for himself, and ho
(Judas) might ns well mako his own by
pcrquislties out of tho affair. Christ
would come out of It well enough, and
ho havo thirty pieces. Now that is tho
money-seeker's idea all over the world.
Ho doesn't hate Christ, but can't under
stand him; ho doesn't caro for him

Docked nu for Lost Time.
Mark Twain, in his humorous lecture
on tho "Sandwich Islands," tells this
llttlo story in Illustration of meanness:
"A company in Lower California
had a man nt work drilling nnd blasting
rocks. Ho had drilled n holo about
four feet deep, put in tho charge, and
wns tamping it down with an iron bar
abo ut nino feet long.whcn a premature
explosion occurred. Up went the man,
still tightly grasping tho iron bar, till
ho looked no larger thnn a boy; up, up,
till ho looked no larger than a doll;
still upward, and ho looked no larger
