MY LADY'S EIHG.
‘Dreams is more lima dreams, mem/
said Charles, Ihe footmau, in a deep, sig
nificant tone.
Charles was admitted to tbe room of
which Mrs. Scarlet was tbe presiding
goddess, on account of his “ hexcelleut
heducation.” He had been known to
bavo attended several scientific meet
ings, and ‘Charles says* decided many
vexed questions on historical and scien
tific subjects in tbe servants’ ball.
. ‘And, talking of dreams,’ continued
Charles, *1 wish somebody would dream
where to find missis’s ring.’
Tbe house in Grosveuor street, where
tbe party of servants were having sup*
per, was owned by a pretty old lady—
rich and unmarried, courtly, of old-fash
ioned ways, who called her housekeeper
‘Skiarlet,’ and her chariot a ‘charyot.’
The usually quiet and regular house
hold had been sadly ‘upset,’ as they re
marked, by, the loss, within the last few
days, of a diamond ring of great value,
left by the old lady, as she perfectly re
membered, on her dressing-table one
Friday night.
There* was excitement and distress
amongst the Grosevenor street house
hold. The cook had been seen weighing
several carrots, the supposed weight of
tbe lost jewel. She was hesitating as to
the precise number of .‘several’—four ap
pearing too many, and three scarcely, up
to tbe mark, when Charles approaching
her with an ironical smile, Informed her
that, ‘although the word was the same
in hevery respect, still the jeweler’s car
rpls do not belong in hauy way to the
kingdom of vegitubles. Heverythiug
being divided inlo kingdoms—diamonds
too.*
Charles was in livery, and did not
therefore enlarge upon the subject as he
might under other circumstances. The
cook flurig her bunch of carrots into a
corner, and prepared to devote herself to
other branches of the ‘kingdom of vogit
ables.’
i was then waiting-maid of the dear
old lady, whom I truly loved. I was a
lonely creature, too, iu those dreary days;
but the comforts of the housekeeper's
room were luxuries to one who, like my-,
self, had passed her youth in a valii en
deavor to aid her parents to work their
weary way in the bush.
I was in. Grosvenor street fora purpose,
and sat amongst the servants silent and
sad. To chronicle the orations of Charles
was my great and only amusement.
Why I endured those three most weary
years, I cannot even now explain. I
could not have remained a day, had it
not been for .the love I bore my mistress.
Wo were a small but ‘select’ party of
four in the housekeepers room. Scarlet,
the housekeeper, Scarlet, the butler (hus
band and wife,) Charles and myself.
Scarlet, the butler, was enormously fat.
I think I never saw so large a head and
neck. He looked quite imposing be
hind my Indy’s chair atdlnner, but when
he threw open wide the drawing-room
doors to announce a visitor whom he
thought it worth his while to introduce
himself, then he was sublime. Ho was
entirely honest. The pride and pleasure
of his life* was to protect he wealth of
gold and silver-plate entrusted to his
care. He polished it, respected it and
.loved it. It was delightful to see him
lifting a valuable soup tureen with pa
rental tenderness from its bed of pink
cotion. Nature had denied him chil
dren, so he adopted my lady’s dish-cov
ers.
He rarely spoke; but the day in ques
tion. over his cake and wine, ho became
animated ; he, too, was under the influ
ence of the painful slate of things, and,
letting his enormous hand fall heavily
upon the table, and turning his honest
face toward us, said :
‘lf I had stolen my lady’s ling, I would
go hang myself?’
‘You would save the hangman a great
deal of trouble,’ sharply answered his
helpmate, indicating with her finger his
enormous throat.
The p»or man was atartled ami as
tonished. In all the years of their mar
ried life his wife had never thus address
ed him. She was not loving, but she was
never cross, and they Lad sailed silently
but peacefully many years together, on a
mod untroubled sea. At last he with
drew Mb’ eyes from her, and spoke no
more. Charles, who bad sought in vain
an answering look from me, continued
the conversation.
• ’Aving our boxes searched is what
hevory one would wish; but it’s the most
onsntisfactory thing a policeman does.
What's to .prevent ray taking the ring
out of my box, and hanging it in a bag
up the kitchen chimney i* Look at Mrs.
Scarlet. Hold up, mlm, hold up,’ said
Charles, vainly trying to prevent her
slipping down stiff and straight upon
the floor. While as death--not dead
though, for she shook like a leaf. We
carried her to bed, and after some time
left her recovering and sleepy. Scarlet,
her husband, forgetting the recent in
sult, poring around her, as it were, and
soothing her to rest. Poor old soul! The
loss of the diamond ring, and the conse
quent upset bad been, we said, too much
lor tier.
i'l’lie season was over, my lady closed
her house in Qrosvenor street, and start
i ed for her place in Cornwall, taking
1 Scarlet, as usual, In the carriage with
Adminiilrator, her.

[ The weather was iuteusely hot. nod
| my Indy travelled at night, taking pil
lows and comforts, Intending to sleep
and ho happy. 'Scarlet resolutely refused
t r look herself up, preferring to sit bolt
upright to keep herself awake, a vain
endeavor. She sank gradually but sure
ly into a remote corner, uncomfortably
doubled op, but fast asleep. My lady was
awake,' watching Mrs. . Sklarlet „ with
much amusement, when suddenly a look
of horror crept over the sleeper’s placid
face. She screamed aloud, ‘the purse,
the old leather purse! I took it out of
the chimney ! Oh, my Lord ! my Lord t
save a poor old woman ! The devils are
after me again 1’ Scarlet sat upright, her
eyes open, staring wildly, but fixed In
sleep; she seized my lady's arm, and
shook It. 'Here; here, in the old leather
purse—the diamond ring—lake it and
go!’
My lady was brave as a linn. She knew
the old leather purse that Scarlet had
carried about her for years. In an in
stant she understood the situation, and
with her bright little eyes glittering like
steel, ebestood over the sleeping woman,
hissing out, in an agitated.whisper, ‘you
old serpent, give me the purse.’
Slowly the sleeping woman drew it
out, nod, with the same horror-stricken
eyes, gave it to my lady, who calmly
took the missing ring from its depths
and placed it once more upon her finger.
My lady let the woman sleep till the
train was drawing up at Blank ; then
she woke her, waving her hand with the
recovered treasure before the face of . the
miserable woman, who fell, in a fit upon
the floor. . '
My lady was gone when Scarlet recov
ered consciousness,, and they never met
again. My lady left her to her misery
and her despair, but took no further steps
to punish. Another, housekeeper reigns
in her stead. My lady refused to receive
the resignation of her faithful butler,who
brought it, with tears of shame, and with
a list of the plate. After a severe illness
ho returned to his old mistress ; and I
have heard that the dishonest Scarlet de
rives tbe bread she eats from the mistress
she bad robbed.
Charles is fixed in his original opin
ion that ‘dreams Is more than dreams,
mern.’ He is now hall-porier at the
Blank Museum, a post after bis own
heart. He may frequently be seen, and
heard* escorting through the various
apartments, little groups of his old
friends, and explaining to them par
ticularly the ‘ kingdom of vegitables.’
A EAOE FOE LIFE.
An Engineer Oliased by Fire at Seventy Miles
an Hour—A Thrilling. Narrative.
A correspondent of the. Grand Rapid
(Mich.) Eagle writes: To make it an in
telligible matter to tho reader let me say
that the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburg
road intersects tne Lake Shore at this
place. The station at the junction is
named Brocton. Now iet it be under
stood that from this point to Maysville,
at the head of Chatauqua Lake, a dis
tance of only about ten miles, a train is
carried over an elevation of seven hun
dred feet From the station to the sum
mit tbe grade Is about eighty feet to the
mile, with curves which increase the.dls*
lance by four miles. It is over this road
that tbe immense quantities of petrole
um are brought. .
On Tuesday evening about niue o’clock,
a train consisting of six oil oars and two
passenger oars reached the summit on its
way to the Junction. Here, by some
cause as yet unexplained, one of the oil
tanks took fire. The passenger cars were
at once detached, and the brakes stopped
them. Next the oil ears were cut off,
and the locomotive, tender and box ear,
containing two valuable horses and two
men, passing down the road, the engi
neer 'supposing that the brakemau on the
oil ears would arrest tho course of those,
hut what was his horror, on looking
back, to see the six oars In pursuit of him
down the grade, enveloped in flames.
They not only pursued, but overtook him,
strikiug the box car with inconceivable
force, knocking the horses aud men flat
upon the floor; and yet almost miracu
lously not throwing the engine from the
track.
It was now with the engineer a race
for life, and ho gave the engine every
ounce of steam. Looking south from the
place of my residence at that (errible
Juncture, one of the most magnificent
spectacles was witnessed that a man sees
in n lifetime. , A sheet of intensely
bright flame, sixty feet high, was seen
coming down that Southern slope, appa
rently with the speed of a meteor, add
really very nearly the speed of a hurri
cane (eighty miles an hour); for the pur
suer flew over the course, or rather down
it, and around the.curves at the rate of
more than seventy miles an hour, as the
engineer declares, and as everybody can
believe who witnessed the spectacle.
The whole heavens were Illuminated,
and the landscape was lit up as by the
noonday light. Onward and downward
flew the engine, and behind, it flew the
huge fiery demon. Twice its prodigious
weight was driven against the fugitive,
as if instinct with a purpose to drive it
from the track. It seemed as if to the
heroic engineer and fireman there was a
perfect environment of peril. The speed
of the engine was such that it ceased to
pump; then again the Cincinnati ex
press was due at the junction at this
time. The engineer of the oil train
whistled “open switch,” and shaking
hands with the fireman, they bade each
other farewell, knowing that their lives
depended on the opening of the Lake
Shore switch by their friends below, and
this was to Imperil the express train com
ing down from the west with its living
freight. The engineer on this train saw
the fire when it first broke out upon the
summit; and supposing he could clear
the junction before the flaming terror
reached it, he, too, put his engine to the
utmost speed oh a level grade. A mile
short of the junction ho saw that the ef
fort was a vain one, for. the flying confla
gration had rushed out upon the Lake
Shore truck. and was roaring onward In
the direction of Dunkirk. He checked
the headlong rush of his own train and
brought it to a standstill. It did not pro
ceed until at three o’clock In the morn
ing.
The case took in another danger, and
it wae Imminent. A heavy freight train
was coming up the Lake Shore road* All
I will say of the escape of this .Is that it
did escape to tfio side- track, and only es
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13.1873.
oapod by the last minute of possibility.
Running on to a safe distance from the
depot, the engineer of.the oil train de
tached his engine and left the six cars to
consume. He says his situation was
fully realized ,by him. He expected to
lose hia life. moment he ex
pected the engine to leave the track. Ho
saw he was going at a perilous rate of
speed, but there was no help for It. The
demon wfcs behind him, and he declares
it looked like a demon. With that fond
ness, or, real affection for'his engine
which these men display, he said, •*! was
determined to stay to it to the last. 1 ' The
fireman made one attempt to escape by
jumping from the tender, but the engi
neer restrained him. Altogether the oc*
currence was a remarkable one, and in
part remarkable for this, that no lives
were lost. The brakemen on the oil cars
had gone back to tbe passenger cars,
when the oil cars started. -It was well
they did. Unless these cars had been
detached and stopped, their inmates
would have been burned to death.
VISITIH G.
BY GAIT. HAMILTON.
' There are visits which remain in our
memories as bright spots in life, and
there are visits whose only pleasure Is
that they are over. But visiting ought
always to be pleasant—pleasant to both
giver and receiver.
One of the best things connectsd with
keeping house is the freedom to receive
one’s friends. Many a, newly married
couple, many a small family without
children, could board with less care and
expense than housekeeping costs them,
and almost equal comfort. But the
boarder is dependent upon the will and
the convenience of others. He can not
invite his friends to come and spend a
week with him without consulting the
capabilities, or depending <for welcome
upon the disposition, of some other host
than himself. This puts him in an atti
tude out wholly dignified—not that which
a mature person, man or woman, would
naturally choose to maintain. But the
householder is monarch of all he sur
veys, and invites at his own sweet will.
If he meets an old friend suddenly in the
street, if she learns by chance that a for
mer school-mate is in the neighborhood,
there are-no outside authorities to con
sult, no whims or moods of a landlady to
consider. Forth from the warm welcom
ing heart goes the invitation, and the
futted calf walks to the block nt once,
knowing that his hour Is come.
This theoretically; yet practically it
sometimes seems as if the hospitality of
householders is as really hedged in as if
they were but inmates 'of a strauger/s
house* People. who are hospitable at
heart, thoroughly friendly and well-dis
posed, do yet make such a burden of hos
pitality that one wonders bow they can
find any pleasure In it. This Is a groat
pity, for the exchange of visits ought t
be what it is capable of being, one of.tbe
great pleasures of life,, a rest, a refresh
ment, an incentive, not a burden.
But to-render it so we . need not follow
the ruloe .aid down in. the books, to di
vest receptions of their terror by being
always ready to receive. Is it Buskin,
or Eastlake, or Luaucolot, or another,
who condemns extension-tables on me
ground that your table should be equally
large at all times, to indicate that you
are always ready for your friends? Go
to, Eastlake and Bauncelot I Sincerity
is the watch-word of the new dispensa
tion. We must have the supports of our.
brackets visible, and the chair-legs as
palpably as they are really and as really
as they are palpably firm ; but if the ta-.
ble is to indicate that we are always
ready for our friend, the table becomes
at once a piece of household artfulness
and not of household art, for we are not
at all times equally ready. Honesty in
life must precede honesty in furniture!
We need not direct our efforts to being
always ready to see friends, but we could
do much in the way of trying not to be
disturbed by their coming when we are
not ready. If Serena could have her owu
way, she would prefer Celestial call to
bu in the afternoon when the mid-day
meal is over, the dishes are washed and
removed, and Helena is calmly reposing
in lidy dress and comparative leisure.
But if Celestia must leave town by .the
noon train, and runs in by ten o'clock in
the morning, when Serena is trimming
the lamps, and there is much odor of pe
troleum in the air, and Serena's lingers
are not wholesome to Celeatla's gloves,
shall Serena be dismayed and apoligize
and mentally regret that she is always
“caught in the suds ?" Not the least in
the world, if she is u sensible and friendly
woman. If U is the proper time for her
to bo cleaning lamps, and she is in a garb
proper to u lamp-cleaner, she has no. cull
to be disturbed though the Queen of
England in crown and . sceptre should
pay her a morning visit.- She should not
consider herself as "caught in the suds,”
or as caught at all. She is in the suds of
her own free will and by the fore-ordina
tion of Heaven, and if “Heaven itself
should stoop to her,” it ought to find her
nowhere else at that. hour. It would be
very unbecoming that she should be
trimming her lamps in a silk gown in
the front parlor. Why not be entirely
frank and at ease, and if her work bo
pressing, bid Celestia to a safe seat by the
kitchen Are, or. if she cun conveniently
go oil duty fpr a while, take her pleasant

So far from its being necessary to bo al
ways ready for company, it is one of the
pleasures of housekeeping for
company. Sweeping and dusting are*
but dull drudgery when cleanliness is the
only object; bub how pleasant It is to tidy

you send her away? Yes, if you abso
lutely can not undertake the slight addi

sitates. But remember her visit does
not necessitate that you should go through

DEIFTS of death.
The Terrible Tempest in Minnesota—Over
Tiro Hundred JAves host—Rabies Frozen
at their Mothers* Jtreasts.
Few of the people of this section of our
country can have any idea of the suffer
ings endured by the men, women and
children of portions of Minnesota during
the late terrible snow storm. Nothing.
liKeit haa been known for years. Tbe
loss of life was frightful, While the de
struction of property was Immense. The
, following is a description of .tbe horrors
of tbe hurricane, as sent by a correspon
dent from Winona, Minn., on Jan. 18,
to the NvY. Herald:
I was in. Minnesota after the awful
massacre of ten years ago. when the red
wave of Indian invasion swept over the
smiiiqg land, and left It a.waste of ashes
soaked with blood; but the scalping-knife
and bullet of the Sioux did npt do such
havoc as the snows have wrought this
year, nor were all the tortures of tho red
fiends productive of more agony than I
have witnessed within (he past ten days.
What has been suffered and bow many
have been slain, has not yet been ascer
tained, for the settlements are far apart
and communication is difficult; but by
every mail come particulars that chill
the blood, and we can now fairly esti
mate tbe extent of the calamity. -
Up to that fatal Tuesday, at whose
mention many a heart shall ache in Min
nesota for years to comb, there had been
winter weather of tbe usual sort, clear,
cold, with occasional storms of spow,
some of which had seriously blockaded
the railroads, and Induced considerable
suffering from scarcity of fuel.
Tuesday, the 7th, was a lovely and
mild day. The sun was bright and the
air balmy. The farmers were nil out at
the nearest settlement. They were get
ting short of fuel; there was but a hand
ful of flour at tho bottom of the. barrel;
not a scrap of meat was left. But the
snows had ceased, so every farmer, hitch
ed his team for tho town. In the little
cottages of wood were women and chil
dren—the school houses were full of lit
tle ones. Such was the country, thus* its
dwellers, when the blow fell. Nature
would seem to .have arrogated to herself
all tbe savage attributes which had
marked her first children there, their
careful and patient watch for an easy op
portunity, and their sudden and relent
less onslaught.
So utterly unprepared were tho people
for the change in the weather, and so
suddenly did it come upon them, that
one man at Winnebago City describes it
as "if a man bad clapped his bands—so,
and the snow came in our faces.” Know
ing what the hurricane boded, men leap
ed into tbeir sleighs, and with voice and
lash urged their cowering horses out in •
to tbe storm. Then the work of death
again. For more than HO hours, till late
on Thursday, the freezing wind and fal
ling enow continued. It was not a steady
full of snow, but a howling hurricane—
the wind sometimes attaining the speed
of twenty-eight, . thirty, or thirty-two
miles. Tho snow came in fitful flurries
with a wild screech and u stinging whiz.
The thermometer feel steadily, till at
Champlain It registered 54 degrees below
zero! At other places the mercury or
spirit marked from 8 to 42 degrees below.
Some of the fanners who set out soon
found, that if they valued life they must
turn back. They were enveloped In
sheets of snow that blinded them. The
wind came so fiercely that, they were
fain to stop and turn around till a mo
mentary lull came. The road—why, the
level prairie was all road now—without
one track of wheel or runner to Indicate
the path of safety. Whenever there was
a slight knoll or a tree tho driving snow
sleet curled round it and broke over it
like yeasty billows over a wreck, and far
to leeward grew up drifts of eccentric
form. Then tbe snorting horses that
lolled along, pressing with their heaving
flanks closer to each other for warmth
and dumb protection and sympathy, re
fused to go forward ; the driver felt him
self becoming listless, bis cold, limbs
were growing warm, and warned of the
swift coming of death, he turned and re
traced his steps. Happy they who did
so betimes. There were many who held
on stubbornly till It was too lato. There
were many more, who, goaded on by a
dreadful fear of tho fate of their wives
aud little ones, left alone in their frail
citadels, forced on through the drifts that
glow deeper at every step, and cold that
became more intense every moment.
And there were others who grew weary
of the contest, and, lying down in tbeir
robes, were lulled by the elemental rage
into a slumber which knew no awaken
ing. Sometimes tho horses gave out, and
the unhappy driver, benumbed aud chill
ed, his movements impeded by his hea
vy clothing, hud to abandon his team and
lake to the drifts. The moans and snrieks
of tho horses that found themselves thus
deserted by their masters are said by
some few who survived, such ecanes to
have been agonizing to hear. Aud at
tbeir homes things were no better. There
wits perhaps u scanty supply of fuel in
the corner, and but a day’s food in the
Ju:dcr. Night trod closely on the heels
of noon. Perhaps the mother was alone
with her sucking chlld» her husband ton
mile* away in one direction, her chil
dren two miles away In another. Those
napless parents suffered countless deaths.
The wooden buildings croaked and rock
ed in tho swing of the storm like ships
gt sea. The timbers cracked with the
frost like rlllea. Beads of. frost stood on 1
every piece of wood work —the small I
panes of glass were so thick with Ice
that there was no chance that tbe lamp
set in the casement could send Its feeble
light to the belated stragglers without
It was impossible to open the doors, so
high had thedrifts become. The fire grew
low, though it was replenished with the
scanty furniture. Day succeeded to dark
ness, but the (Jay was as the night. Only
the chimney of the house appeared
above the drifts. The poor woman knew
that her children lay dead, hand in l
hand, on the prairie, and that her hus
band’s corpse was somewhere entombed
in the glabt drift. The little baby’s blue
lips were laid against her empty breast;
the soul had sped from. between,
them on a iittfb cloud of frozen vapor.
She lay down and died, and the relent
ing winds wafted through the apertures
of the rooch a decent dilft of diamond
snow for her windings sheet. These pic
tures, terrible as they may appear to the
readers of the Herald , who alt by warm
fires and find the music of the snow as it
tiukles against the glass a musical and a
cheerful sound, are less than the reality.
Tbe advance of death was like that of a
tortufer, - jvho comes with all his horrid
engines, to the victim bound-at the stake.
Only they were to be envied who met a,
swifter fate in the raging storm without,
and were spared the sight of their chil
dren dying before their eyes of hunger as
well as cold.
On the railroads there was not absolute
suffering. Of course trains were snowed
in for dtiys in drifts that towered'to the
telegraph wires; and passengers had to
shiver and be scantily fed. But this was
only a trifle.
When Friday, the,loth, came, the sun
rose upon a land of snow and silence.
Drifts many feet and many square
miles In extent were there. Here and
there tbe chimney of a house stood up
like a tombstone In a vast cemetery. The
laud lay like a corpse under a winding
sheet that bad moulded itself into occa
sional wrinkles over the-dead limbs or
set features. Now came the giant labor
of clearing away the giant drifts and set
ting free the imprisoned, trains, and the
sadder task of tracing through the pral
ries the steps of the dead. Everywhere
they were found lying still and statue
like in the icy embrace of death.
. {Sometimes the searchers would find
man aud horse together, the former lying
dead, wrapped in his robes, with the
whip in his hand; in the sleigh, one
horse down, the other standing in the
spot where he was fastened by his part
ner's fall till he shared his partner’s fate
Sometimes the sieigh was found over
turned, with the traces cut. Then to tbe
rlghtor loft would be discovered the dri
ver, who bad wandered round in a des
pairing circle to die. Occasionally the
beasts showed In tbeir dilated nostrils,
widely spread lips, anti staring eyes, the
'signs of mortal terror. And the men,
too, were sometimes Laocoons of ice—
statues of writhing despair. But, as a
rule, death came quietly, as it generally
does in such cases, first robbing the vic
tim of tbe consciousness of death, which
begets an agonized struggle for life, and
stilling him with a stupor said to be as
delicious as It is'deadly.
The death roll cannot be made up with
any reasonable degree of certainty. \V©
are only now getting detailed reports
from the nearer settlements, and it will be
fully a week ere these are so complete as
to be trustworthy. Many of the missing
will not be found till Spring; but It is
safe to set down all the missing as dead.
After carefully collating the various re
ports received thus far, and making all
allowance for the remaining parts of
tho State, I am leu to conclude that the
loss of life in Minnesota will range from
two hundred and fifty to three hundred.
It is just possible though not probable,
that the higher figure may bo reached.
Almost all of these are men, and a
very large proportion of them fathers
of families in straitened circumstances.
The surviving widows and children
will thus be left without means of sup
port of any description. The charita
ble of the East'will here find an object
for their sympathies.
JERONAUTIC VOYAGE •
DONALDSON’S TRIP
TO IRELAND IN SEVENTEEN HOURSt
Al.f> AIIOCT THE GREAT PROJECT.
After inquiring of several citizens of
Beading as to the character of Prof.
Donaldson, and being informed that ho
was an exemplary citizen, sober and
industrious, a JSew York Sun reporter
called upon that gentleman for the pur
pose of an interview. We extract ,:
A DESPERATE EXX’EftIMENT,
“ You see,” said tho icronaut, “I am
over my ears in this affair ; and it will
claim every moment of jny attention
from now on until July, in order to
have things perfectly arranged. I havu
just finished ray plana, specifications
and sketches for my ship, and I am ab
solutely certain that what I am per
fecting will carry me to Europe ns sure
as tho sun shines to-morrow morn
ing.”
“What is this?” asked your corres
dondent, pointing to a miniature bal
loon filled with gas.
"That,” said Donaldson, “is a model
of the ‘Will o’ the Wisp,’ my new pa**
per balloon, which is going to carry me
to the clouds as soon as tho weather
moderates sufficiently. It is composed
of common brown paper, and will cost
mo just $6 50 when completed. I in
tend trying an experiment with it when
at an altitude of half a mile. 1 have a
patent parachute I wish to test, and to
do this I shall experiment with tho
paper balloon, by exploding it when
about 8,000 feet highf to see whether I
can safely descend. 1 shall first ascend
and then X shall open my parachute
(tho model of which looks for all tho
world like three lamp shades strung on
a string about two feet apart), see that
it is perfectly filled, and part company
with tho paper balloon, after having
ignited a fuse, which will explode it a
few seconds afterward, to tho delight
of the people below. With my para
chute I expect to descend to the earth
at the rate of a mile an hour.
AN EXPLOKIG BALLOON
half n. mile high will be a nevelt.v, ami
a change of cars, as It were, at that al
situdo will also bo something new for
the sensational people of this fast ago.
But this has nothing to do with cross
ing the ocean.”
Donaldson then produced a series of
diagrams and drawings of his proposed
mammoth air ship. He proposes to
have one large balloon, which will
have sufficient power to successfully
carry him through the trip. But to be
more than safe in the raatfer he will
carry with him two other supply or
smaller balloons. With these he says
he can fill the larger balloon, in cose of
a loss or' escape by leakage or condens
ing, and when they are empty he pro
poses to pack them up, label them, and
toss them into the ocean, which will
relieve the ship of 250 pounds weight.
During the day the floating power of
the gas diminishes at the rate of about
twenty-five pounds per hour; but at
night the loss is greater through con
densation, This ■ loss, however, is
equalized by expansion when day
comes again. If it should rain or be a
damp disagreeable night it would add
weight to the balloon. Suspended un
der the large balloon will bo a metallic
life boat, with oars, sails, condensed
food, water, instruments, barometers,
&c,, ready for any emergency. Several
marked improvements will be raadfe in
the construction of his boat. In order
to test the upper currents he proposes
to use a pilot balloon.
The following are tho dimensions of
the great balloon.' It is to be 80 feet in
diameter, with a capacity of 208,000
feet of gas. To construct it, it will re
quire 2,300 square yards of cambric,
and it will be capable of lifting to the
required altitude, 9,380 pounds. The
weight of the gas chamber of this mon
strous air ship will be 1,532 pounds
while the nettings, etc., will weigh COO
pounds. The two supply balloons will
be 32 feet in diameter,which will require
374 yards of material, with a capacity
of 28i000 cubic feet, and a lifting power
of 980 pounds. The weight of tho two
supply balloops, nettings, etc., will be
280 pounds,. A small balloon to save
gas as it expands will weigh 140 pounds
making a grand total of lifting power
of 10,000 pounds ; total weight in full
about 4,000 • pounds, including rope;
life boat, provisions, instruments, etc.,
etc., leaving for passengers and supplies,
6,000 pounds. The outfit will be suffi
cient for
A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD;
or for a month at least. After Hie
above' recapitulation, Donaldson said :
“Judging from my trips on land, I
travel 20 to 150 miles per hour, so to
cross the Atlantic to the coast of Ire
land, which is the direction of the cur
rent, distance 2,600 miles, it will require
to make the trip from seventeen hours
to two days and a half. But to provide
for all delays I shall be cautious and
provide for a much longer time say
thirty days. X know-of two cases where
a single ballosn traveled half the above
distance without any previous prepar
ation. I shall take two passengers with
me; scientific men if they can be in
duced to accompany me.. There is
much to be discovered in the clouds
and published to the world, and I
know of nothing so exteremely unde
veloped as the science of icrial naviga
tion.”
The corresponds then asked Donald'
son what good could result from the
trip, even if he were successful.
The aironaut replied; If my trip is
successful lean cross the ocean at one
tenth of the cost it will require to make
the first journey. I will
CROSS THE ATLANTIC ON A TRAPEZE
PAR,
just to show the people it can ho done ;
and if the whales give mo an audience,
I’ll do a few tricks for them' above
mid ocean. Mail matter, freight and
passengers can be carried with facility,
and at a cost far below that which is
paid at the present day. Instead ol
seven, eight or fen days, the journey
cun be accomplished in two and a half;
without the dangers of storm, lire, etc.,
that await those who go down to sea
in ships. There will be no sea sickness,
but in its stead a most delightful voy
age.
TO EUROPE.
In reply to a question as to who
would accompany him, Donaldson
smiled, and proceeding to his desk
brought forward twenty-three letters,
most of which commenced : “ Prof.
Donaldson—Having read in the Sun
that you are about crossing,” etc. —
Thirteen came from jonrnalists of New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadel
phia. Three were from ambitious nov
elists, who desired to write books.
A YOUNG LADY FROM JERSEY' CITY
offered her services, saying if. she could
not be a Joan of Arc, she could be the
first woman tit cross the ocean in a bal
loon. Pour applicants wanted to go
very bad, because they thought piles of
money could be made lecturing after
the trip. The remaining two letters
came from patent medicine houses,
who desire to negotiate with the pro
fessor for some sort of advertising.
Aside from his absolute and deter
mined intention of crossing the ocean,
I find him a gentleman of leokiess dur
ing. He never possessed fear or ti con
sciousness of danger. His ocean trip
Will bo positively made during the
calm months of the next summer, and
three people will constitute his crew.
The upper or eastern current, he says,
was created for icrial navigation. The
existence of a returning current, blow
ing from east to west, Donaldson is
positive of finding.
An enamoured swain who recently
took the small-pox from his sweet
heart, while she escaped with an un
broken ekin, fell on his knees before
her at’ their first meeting afterwards,
and thanked her for so many marks of
heriovo.
Note for Darwin, touching crabs—lf
you place one auywbere In the street it
will Immediately got on the “side-walk.”
Sly knavery is too hard for honest
wisdom.

On Tuesday, Gen. John P. Hartranft
assumed bis dutitM as Governor of
Pennsylvania. A successful leader In
a hotly contested campaign, and the
representatve of a faction that has won
a great victory, the ceremonies atten
dant upon his initiation into office were
showy and imposing beyond parallel in
our staid old State. All the thousand
and one small politicians were there,
the Federal office-holders (the faithful
Prndorian Guards of our senior Sena
tor), and a host of others ready to do
homage to the power that is now firm
ly enthroned in Pennsylvania, hold all
its high offices and dictating all its leg
islation.
Simon Cameron .was recently re
elected United States Senator for an
other terra of six years. The prize
which cost him so many bitter struggles
in his more youthful days, and In the
pursuit of which lie developed those
rare qualities (let us thank Heaven for
the rarity) that have made him the ac
knowledged founder of the political
philosophy Which Tweed practiced and
the organs preach, is now his without
oven a dissenting voice in' the Repub
lican party. The septuagenarian, has
won a greater victory than over crown
ed the strong man in his prime. It is
proper that these two events should
follow each other so closely. In, the
lalo campaign Simon Cameron and
John P. Hartranft fought side by side,
the first the grand commander, and the
second a subaltern of the army of cor
ruptionists. The venerable Senator
won the fight for his young friend, and
has since claimed the credit of his vic
tory, and demanded the reward , of ; his
services,. The two incidents,, then, go
; together. They are a part of the histo
ry of the State.
’ Back of all Tuesday’s pomp and glory
[was the sinister figure of Simon Cam
eron. His subtle genious wrought the
triumph that was celebrated; it was
his. power that called together the
shouting multitude and this subservient
lackeys, and so ho loomed far above
even him in whose name the feast had
been called, Why, therefore, should
we comment on a fact 1 so humiliating
'to our State pride, and indicative of so
low a condition of political morality ?
This is Mr. Cameron’s triumph, and he
more than any other living man rep
resents the subversive side of American
■politics ; it was he who first bought his
Way into the United States Senate,
who set the shining example to Patter
son and Caldwell and others like
them.
We venture to do so simply because
.of a physical fact and of a strong hope
encouraged thereby. Senator Cameron
lost to tho conspiracy of corruptionists,
and the fabric will melt away faster
than the snow from out; fields. Qenl
Uartrunft is a young man. It needs no
prophet, too, to tell him that the days
of the Directory which lias taken him
ip hand are numbered. The demand
for reform grows louder every day.-
A new spirit is abroad. Party is no
longer held superior to conscience, and
tlie press of the State grows more and
more independent with each issue.—
Ife has a chance now to surprise both
his enemies (as those who refused to
support his claims to the Governor
ship of Pennsylvania are called) and his
“friends.” Both parties expect evil
from him ; but if ho does only good he
will win more popularity and greater
honors as a civilian than were the re
wards of his bravery as a soldier. We
appeal to him to thro w his influence in
behalf of the right, and toavail himself
of tho golden opportunity of the pres
ent. In every honest effort he makes
for reform and for the redemption of
the Executive and Treasury Depart
ments he shall have our hearty support.
Now Is the time for him to choose. It
is his own interests that are nt stake,
not the people’s. They will take care
of-themselves in the future.
This journal has chosen its path and
resolved to follow it to the end-; and,
as th§ Governor has begun his official
career by appointing M. S. Quay See-,
retary of State, to succeed the able and
and honest Jordan, we must say that
his first act is a discreditable one, and
that the Board of Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund, as reconstructed, is un
worthy of public confidence and respect.
With Simon Cameron in the fullness of
his powers, and B. W. Mackey, M. S.
Quay and Harrison' Allen at the head
of the State, it is full time to pray,
“ God save the Commonwealth.” —'
Everything rests now with Hartranft,
unless. Indeed, Allen maintains tho in
dependent spirit of whidh'he gavons a
sample a short time since.
The squirming among the bribe ta
kers is livlier than ever since Oakes
Aides found bis memorandum book.—
Thd New York him thus comments:
.The Massachusetts Sampson who has
made sport for the Philistines for all
these weeks and months has- recovered
his strengh with his memory. Yester
day putting his arms around. Colfax,
Gerfleld, Daws, Wilson,. Allison, Kel
ley, Scofield and Bingham, pillars of
the Republican temple of Dagon, he
tumbled the whole edifice of falsa;.ood
and corruption to ruins. There were
premonitions of it on Monday, when he
began to be jocular about sending mon
ey to Indiana “ where it would do the
most good.” Yesterday ho unbosomed
himself. ,-,t> ....
And so, there’s the testimony. The
very men'who with a show of indigna
tion last summer denied any knowledge
of or connection with the Credit Mold.
Her are proven to have lied—not by the
unsupported testimony of Mr. Oakes
Ames, but by the record evidence, the
cheeks and receipts, and written mom
orandu, dbout which theto can be no
mistake and which cannot be contro
verted.
Every one of them is proven to have
held stock in the Credit Mobiller, and
to have received each his share of its
enormous dividends. E\ l en though the
transaction had not worn the badge of
fraud trom the outset in being held by
Oakes Ami b in trust for men who were
ashamed or afraid to appear as stock
holders, the criminated members aru
debarred from pleading that they were
innocent of evil attention by the eager
ness with which they washed their
hands of it last summer. That of itself
was dishonorable and corrupt. They
stand before the country now branded
with falsehood and covered with dis
grace. The very least that Congress
can do is to expel them.
