It is irightul to contemplate this mass Of corrup-

fruit, so does a neglected cold or cough terminate
in consumption. 1t is hard thing to conquer in
its later stages. It should be vigorously attacked

was compelled to throw out all the ballast he
mad on b0arI in order to keep the balloon from
/ gong INTO the water. Thus lightened the ship
again rose. In thirty minutes he had got
clear of the STORM
A little after six o'clock, when he had been
about two hours in the air, he encountered
another violent thunder storm, the atmosphere
beng very cold and the thermometer standing
at about 30 degrees. The teeth OF the profes.
| sor chartered like a pair of castanets in con-
| sequence of this sudden change in the tenn
perature, and the rain falling heavily he was
again made dripping wet, while his balloon
| again commenced rapidly to sink, from its in
creased weight by water. He now gave up
all hopes of reaching the shore before the bal
loon would strike the surface, but he still con-
timed to exert himself to the utmost and did
all in his power to keep her afioat. Every thing
was Immediately cast overboard-grappling
irons, ropes and even his oyercoat but all was
OF no avail. Down she came into the water,
but not till the storm had passed so that he was
enabled to determine where he was. He
found himself some ten miles from the mouth
of the Kalamazoo river The atmosphere had
by this time become almost calm. Al seven
o'clock and five minutes he struck the waters
of Lake Michigan nine miles from shore, but still
going towards the shore at the very slow rate
of two or three miles per hour. This progress,
however, did not last great length of time as
the wind suddenly hauled around to tie east
and drove him farther out to sea again.
L knew says Professor s., that if l could
by any means reach an elevation of eight
thousand feet, could again get the great east
ern current, but as everything had gone
overheard, had nothing to cast loose by
means of which to tighten my balloon. l at
once got into the rigging Of my balloon, and cut
away the car The balloon Immediately be.
gan to rise very rapidly. Thus cnging to
the rigging, made the second ascension, and
in three minutes had attained the desired al
tltude, and struck the eastern current, and in
fifteen minutes more l was on the beach, |
now pulled the valve rope and made rapid
descent, but was caught by the under current
and taken out into the water about ten feet.
With the aid of a few fishermen however, |
secured my balloon uninJured, and had it con.
veyed to the light house. Then l secured
passage 10 this city on the famous steamship
Milwaukee, Capt Cross, and arrived here with
the balloon and car on the night of Friday last,
none the worse, bodily, for my trip. The car
drifted ashore about twelve miles north of the
kalamazoo river, on the morning of the 9th
but when | secured it it had been ritied of its
contents. The voyage was 1913 miles, and oc
cupied two hours aud thirty minutes. Had
not encountered the thunder storm, q greater
distance might have been accomplished in an
| hour and a half Such is the fearful narration
of this daring @ronaut's eighty-ninth ascen-
sion.

Prof Steiner, the eronaut, left Milwaukee
on Monday ID inst, and had n stirring time
oft. He went up two miles, and encountered
a terrible thunder storm when over Lake
Michigan. With the repeated flashes of
lightning and heavy claps OF thunder rain be
gan to fall very fast. His balloon was soon
saturated and the rain, following the sides of
the gas holder down to its mouth fell upon him
in streams, so that he was soon completely wet
through; added to this the temperature Of the
atmosphere BECAME very cod, and altogether
he was decidedly uncomfortable. The rain
increased the weight OF his balloon SO much
that it began to sink very rapidly. The pro.
fessor thinks the weight of his balloon must
have been increased by moisture, at least two
hundred pounds, and upon its rapid descent he
