Mrs. Barlow had long urged Mr.. Barlow
to have that stove put up. She assured
him that there were such draughts in the
house that the carpets rose on the floors,
that Samantha had caught her death OF
cold, and little Bertram's lungs were di-
gested, and the doctors bills would cat
them out OF house and home, and that il

Barlow surrendered at indiscretion, and
promised to put up that stove on Sunday.
Early on the morning Of the
sacred day the Barlow household was dis
turbed by such unaccustomed noise as the
pounding of pipes, herustling OF SCOT, the
rafting of step-ladders, the humping of
stoves, the suppressed swearing of Mr..
Barlow, and the by.no-means- suppressed
scolding of his spouse. Finally Mr.. Bar.
low got the stove up, brick and two chips
serving for the missing leg he erected
about five lengths Of pipe from the back,
and he suspended about five other lengths
from the chimney and ceiling. Remained
but one elbow To connect these two
perpendicular and horizontal systems.
Mr.. Barlow had by this time become
both perspiring and profane; when the
acrid SCOT got into his eyes and made
them smart he had rubbed 1t out with his
hands, which were covered with SCOT: he
had cut his fingers seven times with the
sharp edges of stove pipe, and pinched
them seventy times seven times between
joints. Mounting on chair, placed on
four bricks, placed on a washboard, placed
on tub placed on a table with one short
leg, which was eked out with a scrubbing-
brush, Mr.. Barlow essayed for some time
to tit the elbow. Mrs. Barlow, mean.
while, stood below, commenting audibly,
but by no means favorably, on his method
Of conducting operations. AT last, being
aggravated beyond bounds, Mr. Barlow
gave the elbow sharp blow horizontally.
A suspended stove-pipe offers compare
lively little resistance, and Mr.. Barlow
lost his balance. The game leg of the
table slipped from off the scrubbinp.

SchrOeder's Ballo0n-Ship,

A NUMBER of persons yesterday visited
the intersection of Boundary and Madi
sion avenues to see Prof. Schroeder
Siderable air-ship, with which he proposes
to visit different portions of the United
States and the old world, and he explained
To all the various sections and WORKINGS ~
the machine. The ladies seemed to hs
particularly interested, and told the uro
lessor :" They would so love to take Tin
beyond the clouds in his air-ship." He
said to them that he never invited anyone
to make an ascension for the reason thar
when they made one trip they always
wished to go again.
A number of applications have been re-
ceived 10 take passage in the air-ship, and
among them the application ofProf Wise
the aeronaut, who, with Prof Schroeder
is sanguine of the success of the enter,
prise, and a safe voyage across the Al
lantic. Schroeder says he has expenda
years of study and large sums of moag
upon the invention and its final comps
ton, and that many prominent scientiss
ana especially those OF Europe, believs
that all that is expected OF the ship will be
realized.
In 1872 Schroeder states that he made
an ascension with similar machine
similarly constructed, from Brazil
Yesterday was the first day that an ex.
hibition was given of the ship portion Of
the balloon. the propellers, etc. II is
constructed of wire about thre e-sixteenths
of an inch in diameter, is eighty-fve fee,
in length, nine feet high and eight feet
wide. Its lifting capacity will be for ten
tons.
The balloon portion of the air-ship,
which has not yet been adjusted, will lie
IS feet high, IS feet Ill circumference and
60 feet in diameter. 1t is CONSTRUCTED Of
/ 800 yards % cases. of cambria, from
which 1876 ropes will depend and hold
the ship The pushing and pulling pro.
pellers to be attached to the bow and stern
of the ship are 10 feet long and 80 feet in
height These propellers will be covered
with canvas, as also the sides and top Of
the ship.
The ship, with the balloon portion and
steering apparatus, will be completed about
the list of November, when Prof. SchrOe
der will undertake daily ascensions from
the hippodrome-lot. The ship is to be
worked by a crew OF eight men, and
Schroeder says he can readily steer II
through the changing currents of the airas
well as mariner does his vessel upon the
ocean.
About the 9Th of November he expects to
start upon his first trip, which will be from
Baltimore to New York. a distance of 200
miles, which he thinks he will make in
three hours. He has, he says, made sew
enty-four miles an hour in a balloon. The
venture across the Atlantic will not be
made until the spring of 1875. The ship
was christened a few evenings since, at a
meeting of the stockholders, the City Of

A Snou.Storm in the Sierras.

In his serial story begun in Sc1i6ner for
November Bret Harte gives sbe following
vivid description OF a sDow-storm in the
Sierras:
Snow. Everywhere. As far. as the eye
could reach--ffty miles, looking south
ward from the highest white peak. Fill
ing ravines and gulches, and dropping
from the walls Of canons in white, shroud-
like drifts, fashioning the dividing ridge
into the likeness of a monstruous grave,
hiding the bases Of giant pines, and com
pletely covering young trees and larches,
trimming with porcelain the bowl-iike
edges OF still, cold lakes, and undulating
In motionless white pillows TO the edge OF
the distant horizon. Snow lying every
where over the California Sierras on the
18th day of March, l84S, and still falling.
IL had been showing for ten days snow
ing In finely-granulated powder, in damp,
spongy fakes, in thin, feathery plumes;
showing from leaden sky steadily, snow
ing iiercely, shaken out OF purple-black
clouds in white, hocculent masses, or drop
ping in long, level lines like white lanees
from the tumbled and broken heavens
But always silently! The woods were so
choked with it, the branches were so
laden with it, ii had so permeated, filled
and possessed earth and sky; 1t had so
cushioned and muffied the ringing rocks
and echoing hills that all sound was dead
ened. The strongest gust, the fiercest
blast awoke no sigh or complaint from
the snow packed, rigid files of forest
There was no cracking Of bough nor
crackle Of underbrush; the overladen
branches Of pine and fir yielded and gave
,,,ttI. Tho Citanaa va
vast, measureless, complete!
Nor could IL be said that any outward
sign OF life or motion changed the fixed
outlines OF this stricken landscape. Above,
there was no play of light and shadow,
only the occasional deepening Of storm or
night Below, no bird winged Its flight
across the white expanse, no beast
haunted the confines OF the black woods !;
whatever Of brute nature might have once
inhabited these solitudes had long since
flown TO the low lands. There was no
track or imprint; whatever foot might
hevc left its mark upon this waste, each
succeeding snowfall obliterated all trace
or record. Every morning the solitude
was virgin and unbroken; a million tiny
feet had stepped into the track and filled
ii up. And yet, in the center Of this des-
olation, in the very stronghold Of this
grim fortress, there was the mark ofhuman
toll
A few trees had been felled at the en-
trance OF the canon, and the freshly-cut
chips were but lightly covered with snow.
They served perhaps to indicate another
tree, "blaZed" with an AK, and bearing a
rudely-shaped wooden eiligy of a human
hand, pointing to the canon. Below the
hand was a square strip of canvas, secure
~ nailed against the bark, and bearing
the following inscription:
