Aerial Investigation.

! Are we at last in q fair way to
solve the problem of navigating the
air successfully All attempts have
hitherto failed, including the recent
one of the French Nabar; but the
enthusiasm of soaring genius is not
TO be dampened by failure, and a
machine is now building in San Fran
cisco, which ia the opinion of lead
ing journal of that city, holds out fair
promise of achieving.the long souggt
result. This machine is called the
''Avitor," or "Hermes' the former
being the generic title of the system,
md the latter the name of the special
machine now building. The journal
nom which these facts are taken
gives nearly two long columns to a
minute description OF the apparatusa
its principles OF construction and 10
comotive direction, but the chief
features are these:
The materials are bamboo, iron,
steel and shirting muslin coated with
a peculiar varnish. The shape is
that of hybrid between fish and a
short billed, short neclxed bird with
wings expanded. The dimensions
are: lenghth, eighty light feet; height,
twenty one feet; greatest diameter,
twenty one feet The power is
steam. applied by a series of propel-
lOrs of original shape and arrange
ment. The cubic contents of the gas
bag or balloon are fourteen thousand
five hundred feet, to be filled with
pure hydrogen.
This novel machine depends on
three principles for sustenation in
the air. First, the bnoyancy of the
gas with which il is inflated; second
ly, the support derived from its own
bulk increased by its wings expanded
on either side; thirdly. the motion of
its prOpellers when set at suitable
angle. To rise TO any height it is
claimed it needs hut to place its pro-
pellers at an angle OF forty-gve de-
grees or less, depress its movable
wings ten or twenty degrees, give its
tail twist, ard it will describe a
number OF spiral circles until it at
tains the height required.
While the gas holder remains in
good order and the wings remain in
position, it cannot fall so rapidly as
to endanger the lives of the passen-
gers, even though the engine should
get out of repair.
The steering and directing ma
chinery is arranged much after the
manner of a ships rudder and sheel,
combined with an apparatus for
swiftly changing the relative position
and direction of the wings and pro-
pellers.
Such, in brief are the peculiar fea-
lures OF this experimental air car, and
the enterprise is undertaken by
company of sanguine capitalists,
styling themselves The Aerial Steam
Navigation Company of San Fran
cisco .-.-
Lastly, but far from least, the in
ventor is also a citizen of San Fran
cisco. by name Frederick Marriott.
Whatever be the result of the ex-
pertinent, it is certainly highly in
teresting one in many points of view
and we shall await the intelligence of
Of the trial trip with considerable in
terest.

NeHrO Suffrage.

Attorney General West, in his late
able speech at Columbus. threw the
following bombs into the Democratic
theory of the inferiority of the races.
He shows very clearly, we think,
that the negro is not inferior in re.
spect TO rights and obligations. He
said
COncede, then, that the African is
tie feebler race-aye, inferior, if You
please; is his inferiority of such a!
degree as to place him below the
reach of this just principle thus as
serted by the authors OF the Revolu-
tion, andsOubject him to the absolute
discretion and uncontrolled will of
the Caucasian superior? Ii he were
SO far inferior as 10 be without these
attributes of manhood, those rights
of man, which are the subjects of
government and law, this might be
so. BIT is it SO? /
Yon concede his equal right to lite
in common with yourself, for you
visit his homicide with the same
death penalty; you concede the equal
sacredness OF his person, for you
have provided tor it the same guar-l
anties OF inyiolahilityi you conceded
his equal title to personal liberty,
for you shield it by the impartial
privileges of ha5sas corpus you con-
cede the equal dignity of his rights
to property and the fruits of his own
labor and enterprise, for you guar
antee to them the imperial protection
OF the judicial remedies. 1t is not.
then, in the nature of the dignity OF
these rights that his inferiority con-
sists, for in respect to them, and the
measure Of protection and security
20 which they are entitled, you con-
cede to him to be the equal of oil
other men.
Does it consist in the nature of his
obligations as member of eommu.
nifty In respect to these you also
regard him as one having the attri
butes of manhood. You enforce him
his equal share of public burdens
you hold him equally amenable to-
the laws, and inIict upon him the
impartial penalties of their violations,
and bind him by the ties of allegi-
ance, and punish his infdelity to the
state as treason; You treat him in
respect to all these things as one
having rational, intelligent, equal
manhood. 1t is not, then, in the ma
ture of his obligations as member
of community that you regard his in
feriority as consisting.
But these rights are the rights of
men--these obligations are the Incl
dents of rational manhood. For the
protection and enforcement of these,
and these only, government is insti-
tuted. II has no other purpose
these are the only subjects of its pow
er. Does it not follow, then, as a
logical sequence, that as the African
has, in equal degree with all other
men, the rights and obligations of
rational manhood, for which the pro-
lection and enforcement of govern
ment is instituted, he ought to have
and exercise, in common with them,
such measures of political power de-
lriyed from his consent, as will make
them permanently secure? ? This nee
essarily results from tte principle
upon which government is founded,
and in which our own liberties repose
for security 80 -.sae Il

The Lady Of Larose.

Not many years ago the gay world
OF Paris was excited by strange and
romantic affair. Emile Lamont. a
young lady with a splendid fortune,
and highly accomplished in mind and
manners, announced to the world
that she would bestow her hand and
fortune upon any gentleman who
pleased her. but thai. he must be will
ling, in consideration of her wealth
and other attractions, to put up with
a face of unparalleled ugliness. A
certain time each day was appointed
to receive the visits of the suitors at
Larose, Mademoiselle Lamonts beau
tiful residence in the vicinity of
Paris.
Among the first who responded to
the singular announcement was Slr
Charles DashiDgton, a young Eng
lishman of noble family, who had
squandered a princely fortune in the
gambling houses OF the dissipated
capital of France. He eagerly seized
upon the opportunity to mend his
fortunes, and so establish himself
again in the world of pleasure
Dashington was possessed OF that
beauty of form and face which at
tracts the gaze of artists and wins
the love of women. His self-conceit
led him to suppose that no woman
could resist him; and he thought 1t
only necessary to present himself be-
f5re the Lady of Larose in order to
win her hand, and what he valued
more, her fortune. With this object
in view, he attired himself in a mag
nificent suit of clothes, hired a car
riage, and proceeded in dashing stvle
i'm search of wealth and wife.
1t was delicious day in June, and
the gardens and grounds of Larose
presented q scene of ravishing beau
" to the eyes OF Sir Charles Dash
ington, who looked upon himself as
soon to be ssmonarch of all he sur
yeyed." After a drive of a quarter
of an hour through winding roads
bordered with sweet and brilliant
flowers, and through shady and cool
groves, the superb villa Of Larose
burst upon his enraptured sight. AS
he drove up he was met by servant
in handsome livery, who conducted
him through an elegant marble gal
lery into the spacious reception
room.
The matchless splendor OF THIS
apartment dazzled the eyes OF Sir
Charles Dashington. The floor was
composed of exquisite mosaicsr
wrought into quaint and curious pat
terms; the walls were beautifully fres'
coed after the manner of Raphael;
before the crimson tinted windows
hung purple silk curtains, which
trembled in the vibration of low,
melancholy music, whose origin could
not be discovered; tables of pearl and
agate were placed in different parts
of the room; some of them loaded
with richly bound books, and Others
having on them gorgeous vases OF
flowers, whose odor pervaded the
ishole apartment. In one corner
stood a massive cabinet containing
lcuriosities, and surmopnted with
lbusts Of celebrated authors, among
whom the Englishman was pleased
to see Shakespeare crowned with I'm
moytelles,

A RooM FULL OF GoLD.-Gold is
nineteen times as heavy as water, and
as cubic foot of the latter weighs a
thousand ounces ayoirdupois, the
same dimension of gold would weigh
$4,000 ounces, valued at somewhat
more than eighteen dollars per
ounce, or the whole would be worth
a little more than third of million
dollars. The amount of the preci-
Gus metal now existing is estimated
at 50 $50, 100000. in value. Ii this
was melted, the residing mass would
have nearly $50 cubic yards, and
might be placed in room five yards
high, eight yards wide and sixteen
yards long.

to Deiraud by Mail,

Many curious cases of attempts to
defrsud persons by letter come to
the notice of post Office detectives,
and strange to say, large part of
these dishonest efforts are made by
women. This is no doubt because
women do not know how difficult it
is to swindle in this way, and also
because they do not think there is
any danger of detection.
A sculptor called upon posto!flee
detective one day and showed him a
letter which had evidently been open
ed at the end and fastened again with
muciIage, as a small corner of the
bill still adhered to the paper. The
letter asserted that the writer had
forwarded ten dollars in it to her
iiTIena. II ne uetcvtIso doubted tho
assertion, and said he thought she
pasted the piece of bill on the paper
herself. The sculptor would not be.
lieve this at fiyst, and said there
could be no reason for her resorting
to deception. 1t appeared that he
had chiselled hand from a piece of
marble, and presented it to the wo-
man and did not intend to charge for
it, but as she pressed him to name q
price, he said it was worth ten dol.
lars. After returning to this city,
he received the letter, and of course
thought it had been opened and the
money stolen. Not so the keen de-
tective. He told the sculptor to
write to the woman that the letter
contained no money; to say nothing
about the piece of bill adhered to
the paper, but to say that the flap
had not been broken open. lad.
The woman wrote back, saying
that she had fastenened the bill to
the paper with mucilage, and asked
him to look at the end OF the envel-
ope and see if it had rot been cut
open. This reply confirmed the sus-
picions of the detecrlve, and a mi
icroscopic examination of the frag-
ment of the bill showed that it had
been torn from one dollar note. In
this case the woman's dishonesty
proved most unfortunate to ler.

Victor returned to his hook and
studies from his visit to Larose will
a feeling of satisfaction to which he
had long been stranger. His pros
poets looked brighter. He had Sc
cured u powerful friend in the Lady
of Larose. Her kindness to him had
touched his tender heart, and ii
seemed as natural for her to be
agreeable as it is for the flowers to
bloom and birds to sing.
Emile had invited Victor to visit
Larose by moonlight. He did so one
beautiful evening. They strolled
about the lonely grounds He told
her of his struggles, Of his golden
aspirations, and of his dIsappOint-
ments. She cOnsoied him with sweet
and gentle words, aud she pointed to
the great future and assured him that
his hopes wonld be realized. Victor
felt that the Influence Of that delic-
ious voice, and in that soft hour he
knelt at her feet and told her that he
loved her.
To shorten the story, the day APP
pointed for the wedding arrived--ev-
erything was ready. Victor, hand
some and expectant, advanced to
meet the bride, when lovely girl of
nineteen, with face and form which
might have served as q model for
Appelles when lie painted his exquis

and took the hand OF the future hus-
band. This beautiful being was none
other than the Lady OF Larose, who
had so long excited the curiosity Of
the people OF Paris, her ravishing
beauty being concealed by frightfal
and ingeniously constructed mask.
Her object in yelling those charm
ing features from the gaze of the
world was to secure partner who
would not marry her for the acci
dental advantages of wealth and
beauty alone, but for her own intrin-
SIC worth. She obtained such a
partner IN Victor St. Aubyn.
