Adventure with a Madman
A THRILLING NARRATIVE. ‘
‘Well, Tout, you don't mean to ay
you funk it? I thought you bad tire
pluck than to stick at a little thig
like that. Suppose the spire is a h'tl
dt-ed and fifty feet high, why there re
ladders all the way up.and isn’t it j as ns
easy to mount the hundredth steps
the first?’ urged my adventurous cm
rade, as he looked wistfully up at he
tall, tapering steeple, which wrk
tnen were then newly painting.
‘I tel! you what, Willie, I don'tsee
the use of running the risk of bteakng
our necks >n the attempt. For jou,
who have so lately recovered fronnhe
brain fever, it would be the heigb. of
folly.’
•If so, Tom, it's folly’s height, ikelf
I’m going to climb to, and withinten
minutes I will be astride of the wcith
er-cock. Good-by, my boy, I’m sirry
you haven’t the courage to follow,’ ind
whistling a lively tune Willie Brauiey
walked toward the Church porch.
I was now ashamed to hang bad ; I
knew that the next day Willie’s ad’en
twe would make hjm the hero of the
-ehool —a position which we were over
truggling for in jealous rivalry ; so ere
he reached the chureh porch I over
took him and signified my intention of
sharing the adventure.
‘That’s right, old fellow,’ was the
retort; ‘but eotne, be quick before the
workmen return from dinner,’ and
passing into the belfry we ascended the
steep winding steps of the tower and
-oon gained the battlements.
So far all was well. We had already
ascended one hundred feet from the
ground ; but above us rose the tail, ta
-r, J-—-—L*-r I- ‘-r*. - 1 .*
and hity more, its eonotnian pinaacic
surmounted ly the glittering weather
cock, which had been newly gilded.—
The ascent had to be made by ladders
which were bound to e.aih other, and
secured lighily to the stone work.
I glanced at Bradney. He seemed
cool and determined. His right foot
was already on the ladder.
‘Goon,’ I -aid, if you are resolved,
I’m with you,’ and away he went and I
after him.
There is nothing much easier than
get ing up a ladder. I took care to
grasp my way tightly with my hands,
and neither to look up nor down. Wil
lie, however, climbed much faster than
1, though unaccustomed to the work.—
We both often paused to rest.
At last I heard him shout—
‘Here’s a pretty go, Martini this
confounded pinnacle projects a matter
of two feet above the top bar of the lad
der, I don't see how to clamber over
it.’
‘Comedown then, like a sensible fel
low,’ I cried, for I heartily wished the
adventure was over.
‘Oh, go to Bath!’ wa9 the courteous
retort, and, looking up, I perceived
Bradncy’s legs dangling iu the air, as
he endeavored to clamber over the (
projecting stonework to reach the iron
!
vane.
In this he succeeded. I was equal
ly lucky. A moment later, aided by j
the cross bars which marked the points
of the compass, we ascended the huge
weather-cock and sat astride of it fac
ing each other.
It was then tjiat the horror of uir
situation seemed first to burst upon
each of us. I looked down, and two
hundred and fifty feet below lay the
town, and the great square filled with
people evidently intently gazing up at
us, and looking no bigger than dolls. —
Then glancing at the church-yard di
rectly beneath, it presented the appear
unceofa small, level grass plat, with
wirte mice running over it, far to my
bewildered vision the very graze stones
seemed to move. I felt that I w-as be- |
coining dizzy; the flaky clouds above
seemed to flash by with sickening ra
pidity, and I threw m y arms backward
round the tail of the cock for support.
At this moment a holloV, harsh
laugh broke .from my companion; for
the first time I looked in his ace, and
the terrible expression depiettd there I
shall never forget.
His eyes flashed lurid and wild, his
fafte was pale as a corpse, aid a light
foam stood upon his lips.
‘lsn’t this glorious?’ he screamed,
with another maniacal laugh, ‘right to
the blazing sun, I tell you, wo are soar*
ing fast Look at the gaping crowd
below. Ah ! ah ! they can’t stay us.
There’s the old church tower, too, 1
should say a mile down; hut where is
the spire—the tall spire we climbed up
once,’tis gone, never mind! Oh, brave
bird!’ and he straclf the cock with the
flat of his hand, as if to encourage its
flight.
A terrible thought struck me. My
i friend’s reason, so lately prostrated
with brain fever, 'had left him. I was
1 alone with a madman.
This idea was soon confirmed. Again |
rang forth the shrill, hollow laugh, and
again Bradney shouted yitb the ac
cents of delirium —
‘Ah ! ah ! faster and faster! See the
blood-red clouds above and below us!
the world is gone ! There is the sun,
a ball of fire; aril we arc sailing into
its very vortex. I say. Martin, let us
throw ourselves off this stupid bird’s
back ; we shall get along faster with
out .him ’
‘No, no, Bradney; I'm tired, aud
like riding. Let u stop where we aae,’
I replied, for I knew it was the best
way to humor a madman; but my
words hail no effeet. With unnatural
chuckle he answered—
‘No, no, my boy; you promised to
follow me. and you shall come off wiih
me, nr I’ll pull you off by main force.
We fly so fast that if wo don’t take the
lent) at the same moment, one will be
dropped twenty, eh, thirty miles be
hind.’
He crept toward me as he spoke still
clutching and mouthing. I saw his
intention. I again glanced below; more
fearful than ever seemed to mo the
feaiful depth at my feet.
Tighter, with the tenacity of despair. 1
I grasped the tail of tho gilded bird;
h'jy jvlmt would that avail against the
, Vt ibis mo
ment a gost or wind causen -
to spin around from east to north. —
That sudden hirst saved my life. Poor
Bradney lost Lis balance and fell from
the giddy height. I saw him sink
through the air. strike against a pina
cleof'the tower, and rebound like a
ball.
1 remember nothing more until I re
covered my consciousness many hours
afterward and found myself in

Yavijiafiou in the Air.
Mr. 0. F. Ritchid, of Corry, hag been
perfecting a flying machine on anew
plan in the Riverside Hotel, East
Bridgeport. The machine stands in
the hall nearly complete 1. It consists
of a bjack silk cylinder twenty-four feet
long and twelve feet in diameter, hold
ing Hires thousand feet of gas, and ii
car euspended from the silk cylinder
by cords and rods. This car is of slen
der brass rods and extends the whole
length of the cylinder, tapering to a
point at each end. In the centre is s
platform, upon which the occu ant sits,
[ti front of the seat are two cranks at
tached to a wheel, which in torn is
connected with on upright shaft, attic
lower end of which is a fan similar to
the screw of a propeller. This fan is
about level with tho bottom of the plat
form, and is made of thin brass plates.
At the front end of the long ear is an
other brass fan, which is so constructed
that it can be turned in any direction
by the feet of the occupant of the ear,
while the centre fan is at the same
time worked by his Jiftpds.
A man of ordinary strength can re
volve the handles at the rate of one
hundred a minute, which gives the fan
3.500 revolutions. The silk cylinder,
filled with hydrogen gas, which is ihe
lightest that can be used, is to sustain
all but a fraction of the feight to be
carried, and the central fan is expect
ed to lift the rest by a pressure upon
the air similar to that which a propeller
wheel has upon the water. The air
being much less dense, the fan or aerial
screw is given a rapidity of motion
sufficient to partially overcome this dif
Terence. By reversing the amt ion nl
the fgn the power is 90 exerted as tn
raise or lower the machine at will.—
The fan at the end of the framework is
also revolved with great rapidity by
foot power, and eau be turned straight
ahead or on either side, working on a
plan similar to that of the Fowler ste i
ing propeller. By the use of this fan .
the machine can be steered like a -hip. |
and the inventor expects that atrial
navigation will be accomplished in the
same manner that the ocean is travers
ed by ships, the gas filled cylinder —>
ing the purpose of a sail, and t fan
guiding the machine through th tir
Mr P. T. liarnum, who is inter i I
in the invention, was present at yester
day’s test. There was a flaw iu th
steerage apparatus, by which the fan
was caught and broken ; nevertheless
the machine raised as high as the ceil
ing and was lowered at tho will of the
operator. We are informed that the
machine was tested a day or two ago in
the presence of an expert from New
York, and that it worked perfectly, sail
ing about the room, and nil the time
under the perfect control of the opera
tor. Mr. liitchel has been working
upon the invention since 1871 and is
confident he has found the much-
aought-for principle to be safely applied
in serial navigation, He has applied
for a patent in the United States,
Canada, Great Britain and Fiance.—
’ . |
He expects that a largpr machine, cap
able of carrying several men,would work
even more Successfully than the small
one now being tested, as more power
could be employed, and ho e.v-n ha
hopes of a still larger one, in which the
motive power will be furnished by a ;
small engine, lie informs us that the !
model of hia invention has been shown \
to the editor of the Scientific American, ;
who said he believed it might be made j
so succesful that a trip coo'd he taken
to the North Pole in it. Mr U tube]
is a very intelligent looking gentleman,
apparently about thirty-five years of
age. He claims that all othnr inven
, tors have failed with their flying ma
chines because they have tru-ted-entirc
ly to the lilting capacity of the balloon
appendage, rising by throwing out bal
! u.-t and falling by letting out gas
Another defect ha-s been the placing of
the steering apparatus in the center.

The foil iwing is an extract from the
seymon of Father Havermans, Troy,
N. Y.. preached Sunday last in relation
ito Hell, We copy from the Times of
i that city. He said :
| ‘As to reason although reason can
not demonstrate the existence or non
existence of the place —is it not self
evident that God must have some place
to punish the reprobate wick and ? lb
allows the guilty to flourish, aml to
triumph often iu this world : and per
rnits the good and the holy aud the
humble to he oppressed and despised.
Has he not some place reserved where
this order is all reversed ? Everything
, we observe has something opposite to
!it in, character. We have heat and
I cold, fire and water, light aud darkness
poverty and riches, life and death. All
things and all states seem to have their
antitheses. God is the supreme good,
aud the devil is the representative of
evil. And iu thi- way Hell is the an
fit In-sis of Heaven. The latter place
is the extreme of repose, of felicity, of
love, of peace, of harmony, anl of holi
ness. Hell is the reverse of this. It.
is the other extreme. Gods eternal
justice could not be properly manifest
ed without such a place.”

One hundred and twenty-three
men and twenty-five women com
mitted suicide in New York City
last year Of tho various means
of self destruction shooting was
principally resorted to, forty eight
tnen and one woman having cbosfiu
this method. Thirty-six men and
eleven women, or neatly half the
whole number of female suicides,
took poison. Sixteen men and
four women hung themselves, and;
fifteen men and one womrn used

Every man of sense and refine
ment admires a woman as a woman,
and w hen she steps out of this char
acter, a thousand things that in
their appropriate sphere would be
admired, become disgusting and
offensive. The appropriate char
acter of a woman demands delica
cy of appearance and manners, re
finment of sentiment, gentleness of
speech, modesty in feeling and ac
tion, a shrinking from notoriety
and public gaze, aversion to all that
is coarse and rude, and an instinc-
I tive abhorrence of all that tends to

principle or action. These are the
traits which are admired and sought
for in a woman.
