of applause--and the earth with all this life
gradually sinking down—down—stilt deep
er clown excaed mo very much, and I in
voluntarily began to wave my 'kerchief in
liesPanse:to the happy 'selutionslcif my good
friends below. My husband handed Me the
talismanic flag to wave, while he would
throw overboard ballast composed of bund-.
les of business circulars, and up, up. we
went at a glorious rate. My replies to his
questions for awhile were only—" Splendid
splendid !?!,: My heart was palpitating with
joy over the beautiful spread out beneath
and around, so that I could do nothing but
gaze upon grand scene before rnc.When
We got beyond the built-up part of the city
I ventured my °head through the barrier of
ropes to look straight down, and beneath I
spied what seeined a. idea little Christmas
garden, with little,buildings in We middle,
which my, husband told me was Franklin
and Marshall College, and just at this mo
ment a milk-like vapor rushed down before
and underneath us, entirely obscuring the
world below., 'Ali at mice my joy and ob
servation:clianged ton feeling of amazement
=amazement most profound. Oh, what ,
a solemn silence surrounded vs. It was an
awfully. mysterious -thing to me how this
heavenly curtain*dew drops could so sud
denly wrap-itsolf all around us. The big
paired up globe above oar bends, scarcely
'visible, seemed to bend and stagger with
this load ofvapor weighing pperi it.' Pre
sently a cheerful; mellow glimmer of light
came- from above, which cheered us again
into conversation. Hero - Mr. W. threw
, overboard a considerable bundle of business
-cardS, and as they scattered through this il
luminated cloud, they crackled like little
torpedoes. I wonder what caused it. Mr.
W. said : " It sounds like electric sparks."
As they floated leisurely about they
shone like silver and gold: 'Presently we
came out , at the top of this cloud, and here
again came 'n new. .seene. How beautifully
'Strange,up hero—great big masses of white,
softlooking, fleecy clouds below. Oh, they
looked as soft and silky as tho finest down,
and they rolled about, as it were in a wan
ton' voluptuousness. ' " But, where are we
now ?" I inquired ; " I can't see the world
—we are entirely partitioned off; how will
we vet down ?" Mr. W. said—" I will take
you dowu now ; but before we go let us eat
a bite of our provisions, kindly furnished
usby our friend,John Sides. "No, indeed."
said I, "this is 'a feast of reason ; I can only
feast with my eyes." But, to please him,
ate a few grapes of a bunch placed fa the
car by John Adams, which he was devour
ing with a gusto that indicated a keen ap
petite, as he also got out of the basket a
roasted fowl to regale himself with.
While in this solemn stillnss I was sud
denly startled. "Ob, what was that?" Mr.
W. said, " I let off seine gas to go down."—
When the valve snapped shut, it cracked
like a gun and made me tremble for a mo
ment it made such a strange noise up there.
Now we gently and softly sunk down
through this fleecy bed below ; in its midst
it was more dark this time, and as we came
out gradually below, I saw the city as be
hind a thin gossasamer curtain, and the
clattering of iron wheels, and puffing of
steam 'engines, and ringing of bells, con
trasting strangely with the bright silent
World above the clouds.
Here we could see the beautiful Susque
hanna, and here and there a village peer
ing' from Behind a dark cloud, and the peo
ple below hallooing all around us ; and I
heard' a voice distinctively 'cry, " Charley,
come down—comedown—comedown.'
We repealed these. cloud scenes five. or
six times, going up and down, and I was
almost led to believe that when we shall
change from mortality to immortality, it
will be- our happy destiny to soar through
the' realms of space, visiting on spiritual
wing, this globe-and-that globe; for the
good book tolls us that, " in my Father"
bikise there aro many mansions,"' and I
verily felt when I was away up above the
'Clouds . ; that the'houstr of sod—it
was so solemnly grand and sublime.
I shall - dream of this.all my lifetime. I
can now hardly realize it—it seems to me
more like the shadow of a vision—a trance
than a 'positive thing. I don't think any
body could make such an adventure with
outbecoming better, and particularly grate
ful to the Creator, for the privileges he has
granted us.
We landed safely one hour and ten min
utes ai:cr we left the earth on the farm of
Mr. Hoffman Hershey, about 9 miles north
west of the city. 'l‘fr.'7Ohn Herr invited us
to his house, where we took supper.

The balloon was made on a Wheeler A:
Wilson lock-stitch sewing machine, Mr.
Joseph Blaschecki manager of the Com
pany having gratuitously done all the sew
ing, at his office. Prof. Wise pronounces
the stitching to be perfect in every respect.
Four hundred and fifty-yards of tine cam
bric were used in its construction. It was
cut into 36 gores, each gore measuring 22/
yards in lengths ; then sewed in sections of
6 gores, before oiling and varnishing; after
which the 6 large sections were sewed to
gether on the machine to complete the form
of the balloon, 17.390 stitches wero used for
one seam of 224 yards. 740,000 stitches were
used for it entire. -- The balloon took 40 t
hours th sow, and some of the seams of 22/
yards were sewed in 10 minutes. If the
gores were laid by lenglits, the material
would extend over one-half mile.
