It was a day of public rejoicing, for Elzia,

to recognize,. except that. of the youth,
which was buried in, the bosom of the

they had fully scanned it all, it was thrust

pointed dtit to Ifini:ffie ?Various objecui over

balloon must be directly over Boston.—
My. fellow traveller_ then,for the first time
betrayed some'uneasiness, and anxiodsly
inquired whether I thought he could be re
cognized by any one at our, then distance
from the earth, :It was I,told him:quite.
impossible.:. Nevertheless he continued
very Uneasy, frequently repeating ho pe
they don't see,' ana entreating me earnestly
to discharge more ballast. It then flashed
upon me for_ the_ &et time t,hat his ,offer to I
ascend with me had been, a whim of the
moment, and.that itesfeared being seen at
that perilous elevation by any member 4:4 his
own family. 1 therefore' asked 'hitt! It he
resided at tioston, to which he replied in
tho affirmative; urging again and with
great vehemence the emptying of the re
ninining,-sandbags.
This however, was out of the question
considering the-altitude of the balloon, the
course of the wind, ind the proximity, of
the sea But , my comrade was-deaf

more ballast, deliberately pulled Off and

'but it's not enough yet,' and he began un

Ili the meantime, the maniac, sill repeating
his insane cry of 'higher, higher, higher,
divested hinself of every remaining

as taken off, to the winds. 'rho inutility
of remonstrance, °or rather the probability
of its producing a fatal irritation, .kept me
silent during these operations; but judge of
my-terror when having thrown his stockings
overboard. I heard him say, 'We are not
yet high enough by' ten thousand miles—
one of us, must throw otit the other.' .
