4 New Air sim.

A Bridgeport. Conn, telegram To the
New York i'DyH says: Charles +.
Ritchcl. of thi- city, has invented a ship
designed to sail through the air. Mr..
Ritchel claim, that it can be made to
rise or fall 8, desired. without throwing
over the ballast or losing gaN, rs IN bal
looms. and will always float right side
up. It is cylindrical in form, and the
end, are cut off square. To this great
cylinder, which /, intended to float in
the air in a horizontal position, is at
tachcd by ropes the framework OF the
machine. There is no ruddor, Mr..
Ritchel having found that with thcpres-
ent progress of invention it is impossible
to steer an sir ship with any degree of
accuracy and certainty. Under the
floor, or network, as it might more
properly be called, is series OF canvas
shutters on iron frames tapping one
over the rther when closed, thus max
inc permanent, air-resiSting floor.
This latter feature is one Of the prin-
cipal features of Mr.. Ritchel' invention.
He SAYS that the tendency Of balloon,
when in mid-air, is to move either up or
down from one stratum to another with
ever-increasing velocity. These move
ments have been checked hitherto by
ballast throwing and by the loosing of
gas. He proposes to remedy this by
the floor shutters and by the means of a
canvas screw propeller rugged below
this floor and geared to several cranks
which may be driven by men from the
network of the basket above.
The propeller worked one way tends
to push the balloon or ship upward, and
by being reversed draws it toward the
earth again. When an ascent is about
to be made the balloon is cut loose from
the earth, the shutters are opened so as
to afford no resistance to the air as the
machine rises upward, and, if necessa-
nv, the screw propeller is worked to aid
in tanning the machine toward the
clouds. After the desired altitude is
reached the screw is stopped, the shut
tiers are closed, and the voyage proper
commences. The descent can he made
in the same way.
Another new feature which Mr., Mitch
ell has introduced in ballooning is new
style of cloth for balloon coverings
light and very strong substance, which
rain will not affect in either cold or ho
weather 1t is so strong that it can moi
be torn with the hand, and, though
very thin, is almost impervious to light

In Jeff Davis Clutch.

Elisha kisner, modest, unpretend-
inc gentleman, Of Watsontown, Pa,
was member OF the Third Pennsylva-
MIA Heavy artillery, which was stationed
at Fortress Monroe when Jefferson
Davis was taken there, soon after his
capture. Mr., Kisner was detailed,
among others, to stand guard over the
rebel chief. In an interview with Mr..
Kisner the other evening, he gave an in
tcreSting account Of what occurred
during this period of nearly year.
Did ever tell YOU how old jeff took
me by the throat?' he asked, while he
shook all over with laughter. "Well,
ii was something in this way. There
were two sentries in jeff room, and
this night | happened to be on duty.
Davis was lying on his bed, apparently
trying to get nap, and our orders
were to pace his room constantly, but
under no consideration to speak or en-
ter into any conversation with him.
Ny shoes, which were then new,
screeched as passed his bed, and this
seemed to annoy him Once as passed
him he turned to me and growled out,
i wish you'd make less noise. | re-
piled, i wish you'd keep quiet Then
he turned over with his face to the wall
and kept walking on, back and for
ward, past his bed. In minute or two
he growled again, Cant you keep
quiet?' To this replied, Cant you
hold your jaw?' Then he got up and
commenced to walk the floor mad as a
Gagged lion passed him and turned
to 90 back, when met him about the
middle of the room. Just as was
about to repaSs him he suddenly sprang
at me, and with his left hand caught
me by the throat, struggled TO get
loose but he held me as though | had
been in a wise | could not use my gun
as he held me close to him. struggled
for breath, but he had shut of my wind
The scullle drew the attention OF the
other guard in a moment and also the
officer outside, when he ratified his
sword against the iron-gratcd door, and
then old JEFF let loose of me and went
back to his bed tell you was weak
in the knees when he did let 90, and
though he only held me a moment or so
it seemed Ike an hour
Before this occurred an old reb out
side, who had the privilege of bringing
jeff hi, meals, used to bring in lots of
fried and stewcd oysters, and many
other things we soldiers couldn't get.
He nearly always brought more than
old jeff could eat, and jeff used to give
us lots of good things, but after this
fuss he'd always throw everything that
was left ont OF the window, and would
not even give US a smell to save our
lives. - Washington (PQJ Record

A Congregationalist in Uniyeysalist's
Pulpit,

A good and true story is going the
rounds of Boston about the adventure of
a worthy Congregationalist pastor who
ministers to a suburban church. He
had agreed to supply a RoXbury pull
pit for an absent brother. He came in
to Boston and promptly took High
land car for the scene of his evening
labor. In due time he deserted a stee-
pie, and, reaching the church, got out.
walked in, took off his overcoat in the
vestry, and went straightwav to the
pulpit, He glanced around on the con-
gregation and proceeded, after min
ute or two's delay, to give ont a good
old standard Congregational HYMN.
The congregation proceeded TO find the
place, the organ gave the tune, and the
singing began. Whilst it was in pro-
gress the sexton walked up the pulpit
stairs and said to our suburban friend:
Mr. - will be here in a few min
utes."
The situation flashed upon him, but
suppressing his emotions, he quietly
asked:
why, isn't this Mr.. IS church,"
mo, sir calmly replied the sexton;
''this is the Universaist church"
There was an exchange of places a
few minutes later. The friends of the
suburban minister are now fond of ask
ing him how he came to enter the Uni
versalist ministry. He laughs and
solaces himself with the remark
well, | got them to sing good or
thodox hymn, anyway. "-BoSton Trau-
eler.

they imperiectly understood, and for which
none OF them cared in the least. Upon
reaching the duchess apartments the am.

Surrogate Rollins to-day heard partia
argument concerning the final accounting
OF the estate of the late Charles Morgan
who, during his lifetime, was the principal
owner OF the Morgan Steamship company
Mrs. Morgan, the testatrix, cOn'tcnded that
Mr.. Morgan had disposed of about 5000
shares of the Morgan Steamship company S
stock To her and certain OF the children Il
short time prior 10 his death, and she
therefore failed to make an account
OF those shares to the referee who
was appointed To pass upon the ac-
counts. Upon the reference an oh.
lection was raised TO the account,
upon the ground that the gift was
not complete In the lifetime Of Mr.. Morgan,
and If 10 were TO be considered complete,
then 1t should be treated as an advance
ment to be charged against the shares in
the estate of those TO whom it had been
made. The referee found that the gift had
been complete. and that it was not in.

The surrogate some time ago filed memo

hear counsel in regard to the jurisdiction
of the surrogate in the questions involved
in the proc, eding, and upon this the matter

argued that the surrogate had jurisdiction

A Wreath of German Laureils for Edwin

Booth deserved to the fullest extent the
enormous applause which greeted him as
Hamlet. In this part, which for years has
been played by every eminent actor, he
surpassed nearly all his predecessors. This
interesting, melancholy philosopher and
prince was not u mere stage Hamlet. With
Booth, art has become so much part of his
being that one is startled at his fidelity TO
nature. Thus truly must Hamlet have
presented himself to the Imagination
! of Shakespeare In speech, in
! play of feature, in the whole
Interpretation, there was something
indescribably grand and touching Edwin
Booth was the living Hamlet, with all the
peculiarities and mysticism OF his character.
The scene in which the ghost appears to
Hamlet made n profound impression.
Everybody admired the mastery power OF
the actor, who by simple facial expression
was able 10 produce such an astounding
elect. Indeed, the word simple is par.
ucuarly characteristic when applied to tn
acting 0t thus artist. Not hollow senti.
