Experiments in AerOstatiOn.

The fundamental principle Of navigating the
air has long been known, but the practical ap-
plication of the principle is modern discovery.
Any thing which is lighter, bulk for bulk, than
the atmosphere, viii ascend to a certain height
and float in it. Rarilied air was first used to
initiate balloons, it being found that 435 deg of
heat just doubled The bulk Of a quantity Of air
The discovery of hydrogen gas, by Cavendsh
it being II - times lighter than air, gave an
interesting impulse to aerostaiion, for in 1888,
Messrs. Roberts and Charles, of Paris, dis
covered way to retain this gas in balloon,
by varnish made Of india rubber dissolved in
turpentine. This was valuable discovery,
because hydrogen will pass through metals,
and there is great difficulty in retaining it in
any vessel The next valuable discovery in
the art was the application of light carburetted
hydrogen for the purpose of imitation. The
difficulty and expense Of using hydrogen, rem
ders its employment almost impracticable on a
large scale. The carburetted hydrogen, al
though heavier, can be easily made. is cheaper.
and it Just requires larger balloon than for
hydrogen, to bring up the same weight A
great number of ascents have been made in
balloons. Mr. Green is the hero Of hundred.
and so is John Wise, of Pennsylvania, but
hitherto all efforts TO navigate the air economl-
cally and safely have not been successful
The two points stated are the drawbacks to
n.
aerial navigation. Whether we shall yet see
the balloon managed with the precision OF a
steamboat or locomotive, and aerial voyages
made economically and safely, we cannot tell,
but we would like to see it. What glorious
thing it would be to safely ride upon the
whirlwind and the cloud, and on some sunny
afternoon take 'sthe high road to Boston," to
have an evenings revery on old Plymouth
Rock.
Within short period aerial navigators have
become more numerous, daring and ingenious
and the result of number of efforts may soon
bring the art to perfection If a new gas was
discovered which would exceed hydrogen in
buoyancy as much as hydrogen exceeds com
mon air, we would have hope of economical
aerial navigation; and if some new motor was
discovered which could exercise safely as much
power as a steam engine, in one-sixth OF the
space and the same of the weight, then NIGH

Never Despair.
BY HANSON d. WHITE.

Never say fail When once we have f,;rlv
canvassed its value and its duties, life will no
| longer appear speculative venture. Ii is NOT
simple game of hazard in which blind chance
| throws up the counts. Success in every tbino
depends upon effort. Man was made for ac-
ton, and Gods footstool, with all its inn,lmer-
able beauties and facilities for industry and en-
terprlse, given him as a theatre on which to
exercise and improve his attributes for good !;
Tor the welfare and happiness of himself and
OF his fellow men. And it may be recorded
as an lncontrovertible apothegm. that lust in
proportion to the energy with which these at
tributes or faculties are exerted. and made 10
second his aims, will be the ratio of his ulti-
mate success.
Your true man is something of the nature Of
an india rubber ball-the harder he is thrown
down, the higher he will rise. Ifyou drop a
stitch in the stocking of life, take it up If
you make a misstep, mend it if you can, and
look ont better for the future; but never de-
SPAR. Pcrscvere-press onward let the
dead past bury its dead, and with single eve.
and holy faith, essay, vigorously. and with
unfinchng effort, the consummation Of the de-
sired end, whatever may be its nature or its
name. Had Columbus passed his davs in
dreams, and mere fruitess theorizing, the New
| World would never have blessed his vision. or
shaken hands with the Old. Poor, unknown.
! and destitute Of the means of securing even an
| introduction TO those who could afford him as
sistance in his bold and daring schemes, he
still pressed onward, regardless of the con-
temptuous sneers, and biting ribaldry Of his
enemies, with his minds eye fixed immovablv
on the one grand object which engrossed every
faculty of his intellect, and constituted the
theme and inspiration of his life.
Had Newton paused at the commencement
Of his career,-had he folded his arms in indo-
lence, and said, as thousands have said-s"Tis
no use trying"-what glorious truths would
have remained unevolved to the world.
No reader if you desire to secure success
IN life-if your ambition points to noble and
honorable aims, you must LABOR. You may
be surrounded by all the means and appliances
of learnlng-vou may enjoy the instruction of
Plato, or an Aristotle, with every facility of
bringing into notice the talents you possess
yet, without LABOR, constant, unrelaxing, per
seyering labor, you will never succeed in do
ing justice either TO yourself, or to the society
of which God has constituted you member.
"Strength," remarks the sagacious Madam
d Stael, ''resdes at the bottom of ourselves.
Yes; the mine must be wrought, and every
segment carefully explored ere it will yield its
wealth. Leave no stone unturned, no fssure
uneXplored, and success will assuredy crown
your efforts. ''lt is hard digging for pure wa
ters at FIRST" says Seneca, ''bnt when we have
approached them, they will rise up and meet

for the Legislature in the Seventh Assembly dis
trict-Mike Walsh is up In the Fourteenth ward

himself pretty well known as a candidate for Con-
gress.
Charles A. Dana is one Of the editors Of the Tri.
brne, very gentlomanly man, and very good
scholar and good writer; but he has no practical
knowledge. He is the interpreter Of isms, and
having some German fuency, has persuaded a

a thoroughgoing sboltonist Of the Weed pattern.
In the lssi Assembly he introduced the most vio-
lent resolutions directed against Southern rights;
and as the editor of the Courier and EaqHirer, he
lends aid to the enemies OF the Union. Mike
Walsh is as peculiar as a democrat IA any Of the
candidates He s good outdoor man, ready %
90 into the Assembly, and TO desert the editorial
bureau. James Brooks has been a member Of
Congress, and he jumps about like a squirrel after
a hard frost. lie is to be found on the Union

there a hule-s kind Of blot, mottled and mis-.

Now, with regard to editors for representatives
Of the people, we have a word to say. II is an
abandonment Of their high position, to strive Tor
the prizes in the political arena. They should be
above it. As consevators Of the public peace, Of
the principles Of the constitution, Of private and
public rights, they should be beyond the influence
of party gifts. Il is descent from their intellcc.
tual position, TO crawl into the Assembly, where
they will exist 10 the midst Of iobbng and ntrigues
Therefore, we hope TO see each Of these editors
defeated We do not desire the press to be placed
on a footing with the Paris journals. Editors
should hold TO their own position to be worthy of
h. We hope they will all be shut up in their sane
ums during The winter 10 attend TO their customers

TIE PRESIDENCY AND TIE CUBA CANDIDATE
We have already stated that the Plan6eld patriots
have nominated Gen. Sam. Houston, as a highly
desirable candidate for the Presidency, in connec
ton with the annexation of Cuba, the General hav-
ing had good deal of experience in the annexa-
ton line. We find that the following journals have
also hoisted the flag of Houston -
Louisville Democrat, Kentucky.
Louisville Advertiser, Kentucky,
Wheeling Zsitung, Virginia.
Perry County Democrat, Pennsylvania.
Wsstchestsr County Democrat, Pennsyivania.
Galveston Civilian Texas
Galveston Gazette, Texas.
This is a pretty good beginning but the list
must be largely extended to be successful. To in
crease the Painfeld party, the best plan would be
10 count up their assets on hand, with view of
establishing few more banks in different parts of
the country, on the Lehigh or Plainield principle.
They will be required to secure more journals to
push along the " annexation" Of Cuba. Plain
field patriotism is looking up.
