"A Duel in IL Balloon.

An affair Of this nature took place on the
occasion of the last assent but one of the Gel
ebrated and lucky ieronaut Mons. GODDARD
Mr.. GODDARD took with him that day, as his
compagnon du Voyage, a wealthy private gen,
tleman, who paid 1 900 francs for the privi.
lege of sharing in the perils of his expedition
The weather could not have been more pro-
pitious, and the balloon shot up rapidly to a
considerable altitude.
"What effect does that produce upon
you ?" asked Mr.: GODDARD of his companion.
Nothing" replied the gentleman, lacon
ically.
"My compliments to you," said GODDARD
"You are the first whom hare seen arrive
at such an altitude without betraying some
| emotion" "
Keep on mounting" said the other, with
gravity supreme.
Mr.. GODDARD threw out some ballast, and
| the balloon assembled some 500 feet higher
"And now, does your heart beats" asked Mr.
GODDARD
Nothing yet" replied his companion
with an air which approached closely to I'M,
pudence.
"The deuce,' replied GODDARD; 'syou have
really, sir, the most perfect qualifications to
be an eronaut."
The balloon still ascended. When 1,00O
feet higher GODDARD asked his companion
"And how nowg
"Nothing, nothing; not the shadow Of a
fear whatever!" answered the traveller, in a
tone positively discontented, and like one
who has experienced profound decep-
ton.
"Goodness me! so much the worse then,"
said the eronaut, smiling; II must renounce
all hope of making you afraid. The balloon
is high enough; we are going to descend"
"Fo decend"
Certainly; there would be danger in our
mounting higher"
"That don't make the slightest difference
to me, don't choose to descend"
"You, what? ?" asked GODDARD
IL say wish to ascend higher; keep on
mounting. have given 1000 francs in or
der to experience some emotion; must do
so, and will not descend before have felt
some emotion"
GODDARD laughed, believing that it was a
joke.
"Will you ascend?" again demanded the
man, seizing GODDARD by the throat and shak-
ing him with violence; "when shall l feel
some emotiOn!n
Mr. GODDARD relates that at this moment he
felt himself lost 4 sudden and dreadful
revelation broke upon him in regarding the
strangely dilated eyes of his companion; he
had to deal with madman!
To try to make a maniac listen to reason
To ask for help amidst the clouds!
If even the unfortunate eronaut had had
any defensive weapon, he would have been
capable of defending himself; but it is not
usual for persons to furnish themselves with
pistols for voyage in a balloon, and certain
ly one would not dream of meeting with a
warlike encounter i'm the stars. The earth
was five thousand feet beneath--most horri-
BILE depth-and the last movement OF the
now furious madman might cause the car to
capsize. GODDARD, with the presence of mind
acquired by him in so many of his ercal ex-
peditions, made all these reflections in the
short space of second.
"Ah! an you are mocking me, my fine
fellow" continued the madman, without

its reptiles; and it is safe to presume that
more persons are bitten every year than
in all other sections of the country COM
bined. The invariable "cure" there is
whisky or other intoxicating spirits. Be-
fore this remedy was discovered the to-
bacCo cure was resorted to; but this is too
harsh a remedy, and, if taken in sufficient
quantities TO overcome poison, il is liable
to throw the patient into violent spasms.
But in the whisky cure there is no danger.
There can be no intoxieation until the
poison Is counteracted, no matter how
large the quantity administered, no more
than if water instead of spirits had been
given, The certainty of this remedy
should throw all unreliable ones-and
nearly all others that have been named
are such-aside. 1t may be assumed as
correct that what will cure the bite Of
poisonous reptiles in one locality will cure
it in another; hence the whisky cure from
it reliability should supercede all others
that have yet been tested, and in this way
many valuable lives may be preserved.
Persons who have been bitten by rattle
snakes usually become excited, and their
blood, if not already heated, is sure to be
very soon. In this way the poison, inter-
mingling with the blood, circulates with
surprising rapidity throughout the system.
Active and powerful, then must be the
treatment IN order to rescue the patient
from immediate death. We have known
persons to become blind in twenty min
utes after they were bitten, and in such
instances it required over pint of liquor
to relieve them. In no case where either
whisky OF French brandy has been ad-
ministered before the patient was actually
dying did we ever know this remedy tc
| fail to cure.
Here in the North, where poisonou:
reptiles are comparatively scare, rattle,
snake bites have unusually terminated
fatally. The most sllllful physicians have
been completely baffled, after resorting Il
all the remedies of the naateria nledica
and their patients given up to die. Blu
there is no reason why the fang Of rattle
snake should be more fatal than the bite
of New Jersey mosquito. In case yol
are bitten, then, resort to the remedy W.
have named.
We do not approve of drunkenness un
der other circumstances, but should yo
ever be so unfortunate as to be bitten b,
a snake, by all means get 'gloriousl,
drunk and the sooner you do so tn
sooner you will be "all right. ~ Y
