Address ° “THE PEOPLE’S JOURNAL,.” Aug. 13, 1877—1 y Portland, Vaine. 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 [Exchange ■# 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.

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 | indelicacy and impurity, either in principle or action. These are the traits which are admired and sought for in a woman. \ (lueei* Team A traveler in the Western dis trict, was struck by the absence of the usual tessellated language of a bullock driver, in the case of a man on the road with a small team, which he thus apostrophized: ‘Come hither, Baptist!
