FEKITXWI BALLOO* AlCEJlSlCW-The I ,-vKKOWAUNT II* LAKE ERIE. .t.iA ]Frdm the Detroit Tribune.]

We received a call this: morning from Mr. John Steiner,' of ?htiadelp]iia, a somewhat noted aeronaut, who has just made his fortieth ascension, which proved quite a perilous adventure.

After several clays' delay, he finally succeeded in making the ascent from Erie about half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon. The weather was stormy, with squalls of wmd, wliicli rencTered the voyage not'entirely pleasant. The wind, biyng in the right direction, howefver, the ascent was determined, it being his purpose to sail across the lake and alight in Canada:

He immediately rose, to .the height of about three jniles. and.,started off ,'fpr.t^e Canada shore at a slow but steady ratc:

The out-look was very beautiful.. The lake could be seen from one side to the other nearly, save as .clouds, intercepted it occasionally from view., At one time Mr. Steiner, counted thirty-eight, sail .vessels, all in' sight, and far below pmv The hands on board several.of the vessels saw liim, and, rightly apprehending that lie was an aeronaut, chcered him heartily, anu he states that their .shouts could be heard by him quite distinctly.

The wind kept blowing steadily from the right quarter, jind.thc voyage promised a very successful termination. lie ncarcd the Canada shore a, little below Long Point, and was gradually coming in to shore.— When about ten miles from land, however, a counter-current struck him, which was bearing directly down the lake. This was quite a strong one, much more so than the one which had propelled him safely thus far, and he .was accordingly driven towards Buffalo,

4i(i'

He was about two-and-a-half miles above the surface of the water night was coming on and it became apparent that he could not with this current get away from the water before dark, and after nightfall it would not be so safe,, to come down. Seeing a propeller making way up tlie lake he resolved to descend, and, if possible, strike the water so as to be rescued by the steamer.

The propeller proved to be the Mary Stewart. Her officers discovered the balloon .''bout the same time that they were deftcricd by its occupant. The American ensign was run up and her whistle sounded. Mr. Sterner responded by waving a small American tiag from his car. He threw out a large anchor, att.'^hed to about 30 feet of strong rope, for the purpose of making fast to the vessel if he should rross above her, before reaching the water. He then began to descend, and came down rapidly.

He first struck the water about 25 miles below Long Point and three miles above tlie propeller which was bound up. In seven minutes lie passed her about twenty rods astern. During this time Mr. Steiner says he thinks his balloon bounded from the water at least 20 times. It would strike aiul then rcbouud like a ball going into the air from 20 to 50 feet, and still rushing down the lake at railroad speed.— [lis anchor not catching to anything caused this not very agreeable episode.

A boat was immediately launched from the propeller, which went in pursuit of him. They got hold of a long rope which he had thrown out, and which was attached to the balloon, and began to haul in. But as soon as tlie line was made taut, the balloon took the boat in tow with a will. The sailors pulled the oar-locks off the boat, but could not stop their novel "tug." Mr. Steiner then abandoned the balloon, leaping into tho water and swimming towards the boat, which speedily reached him. lie was taken on board, hospitally entertained, and brought to this city wjiorc lie arrived last evening, none the worse for his adventurous voyage.

This is tha third balioon Mr. Steiner has lost. It cost S500. He requests the Canada papers to state that any person who may pick up the balloon is requested to communicate with him at No. 286, Parish street., Philadelphia, lie goes down to Cleveland to-night. -He desires us to return thanks to tlie Captain and crcw for their hospitality..

We have been permitted by Capt. "Woodwortli to copy the following account of this singular meeting from the log-book of the Mary Stewart: "Sailed from Buffalo, June 18, at fifty minutes past 12. At 2 1-2 P. M., wc had a heavy squall from W. N. W., with heavy rain, which lasted 40 minutes. At 5 1*. M. wind at S. W. and squally, as my mate and myself were standing forward, I saw an object bearing about S. S. W., and at an angle of about 45 degrees which, after considerable observation, made out to be a balloon. Wc were heading directly towards it, and I instantly set the American ensign, and sounded the steam .whistle, which was responded to by the balloonist displaying the American ensign. This was twenty-five miles below Long Point, and about in the centre of the Lake. Iran up to leeward of him and sent a boat to pick him up. As he passed close under our stern, I had a fine view of tlie balloon, as well as of tho recklessness, striking tlie water and rising to the height of 50 to 75 feet, and descending suddenly again to the surface of the water with such force that wc were very apprehensive of his safety.— As the boat pulled up and men took hold of the balloon, and my friend Sinbad left his planton ship, a sudden gust of wind swept away .the balloon. _My Jirst mate being in the boat, used every endeavor to save it, but the wind was bio,wing so hard that his efforts were unavailing, and it soon disappeared before the gale. By this time my new passenger was on board, and I agiain shaped my course up the lake.

DEED OF BEING A GAL.— I was talking with my Sunday-school class on the necessity of getting anew hart, and being born again, when I obsrrved a litt!e rosy fellow, about five years old, who had been one of my most attentive scholars,' with hid hands to his eyes, and crying bitterly: I asked him'what was thehmtter, hut'for some time his sobs would not:le1. him audibly.~ At length he odd, tanvdlsiTfely:. **i don't wantrfolrii be boni agaihv'for fear tiext timd 'mighthe a gal."'—Exdkangt

:rats. y"-j" j.

As civilization advances, human ingenuity is severely taxed to supply man's natural and artificial wants. Our grandfathers would have 'said that the destruc-. tive vermin which infest our cellars, under the name of rats, would be the last thing' which could ever be turned to a useful' purpose. Even.the fine lady of the present day, who piques herself on her exquisitely fitting gloves,. would give one of those little shrieks, which she thinks so sweetly, feminine, if told that, the thtmib of her glove was made of rats kin, as more elastic, yet tougher, than kid. The nineteenth century, in fact,, sees rata elevated to an article of commerce. In Europe, the fur of the rat isnised by hatters, having been found to excced in delicacy even that of the beaveri''*A'company exists in Paris, on the principle of the Hudson's Bay Company, to buy up all-tfie rats of France. In London

!mariy

persons earn a livelihood by

hunting rats in the sewers/ A late num. ber of the London Quarterly Review makes these facts' the text'of a curious and interesting article on the habits of the. xat,an animal heretofore considered unfit to be. introduced into decent socicty, but which, under the auspices of the Quarterly, makes quite a respectable figure.

Nearly every portion of the habitable globe is infested with these vermin. Hardly a vessel sails without carrying with it a colony, and thus even the islands of the Pacific are supplied with rats. On board of ship they generally kcejf-"out of sight, provided they can command that great 'necessity, water but if this is guarded against their depredations, they will come on deck on rainy nights to drink, and will even ascend the rigging for the sake of the moisture lying in the folds of the sails. When very thirsty, they have been known to attack the spirit-casks, and get, like wiser beings, tipsy, though, we believe, they never beat their wives, even when drunk. Sometimes two distinct colonics arc to be found in the same ship one occupying the stem and the other the stern. It is no uncommon thing to destroy five hundred in a single East Indiamnn on her arrival at Calcutta. Often, when water has been scarce on the voyage, tlicy voluntarily desert the vessel the night after her casting inchor, generally passing to land, in single file, along the niooring-rope, though, if this is impracticable, they do not hesitate to swim. The genuine ship-rat is a more delicate animal than the large brown rat, and approximates to the original English rat, which is not yet entirely extinct, though some naturalists have asserted to the contrary.

Few persons have an idea of the vast numbers of these vermin. The Quarterly says, 'rats arc to the earth what swallows arc to the nir, universally present." But, unlike their feathered rivals, wc* rarely sec them, and lieuce are ignorant of the of the countless millions that burrow under our cellars, ruu upland down between our walls, haunt the sewers of great cities, and devastate the grancrics of farmers. But is about slaughter-houses that they "most do congregate." At Montfaucon, in France, the proprietor of a slaughter-house had a walled inelosure, where, one night, he threw the carcasses of two or three horses,

and then went quietly with his workmen and stoped up all the holes by which tlie rats had entered it, after which he went in, with these same workmen, armed with a stick. The rats thus entrapped were slain by hundreds. In a single mouth, he killed sixteen thousand and fifty, and two thousand six hundred and fifty in one night.— It has been estimated that the progeny of a single pair of rats would amount, in three j'cars, to six hundred and fifty-six thousand, if they could all find food and escape the accidents that make the mortality among them so groat. Between the large brown rat and tlie smaller species, there exists a mortal antipathy if ail equal number of each breed are put into a cage over night, tho bigger ones, if not hungry, will cat off the long delicate ears of the smaller, which they seem to consider a great luxury but if half starved, nothing will be seen in the morning of Uic smaller species, cxccpt the tailsand bones.—Baltimore Sun.

TIL): SUEZ CANAL.

The genius and energy of Western European civilization, are about to accomplish for Egypt and Southern Asia what ages of speculation and effort by the inhabitants thereof have been unable to execute. Sixteen hundred, and eighty years before the christian era, Sesostris conceived the plan of uniting the waters of the Mediterranean and Red Seas by means of a canal, and partly carried it out, and which successive rulers of Egypt, down to the time of Ptolemy Philadelphos, have endeavored to perfect.

A scientific commission! appointed by the Viceroy of Egypt, have examined the feasibility of the projcct, and have reported that a direct canal of only a hundred mile's in length, can be constructed at a cost of about $40,000,000, which will pass vessels of the largest tunnagc from one sea to the other. Should it be carried out, it is calculated that it will shorten the distance from New York to Bombay nearly 7,000 miles that from London to Bombay upwards of 8,000 from Marseilles 9,000 from St. Petersburg 7,000, and from Constantinople 12,000 miles.

Besides the commercial advantages of this project to the western nations of Europe and our own country, the effect of introducing the energy of western civilization and enterprise cannot fail to have a revivifying influence" upon the old nations of the world, which were at one time the seats of refinement, of learning, of science and art, but which are now sunk into imbecility and ignorance.

The execution of the project of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien would, likewise, have a'highly beneficial influence in enlarging the intercourse of nations, by quickening and cheapening the transit of trade and personal intercbhimunicatioin.— It is by these means that the'Brotherhood of- the race will be developed,' christian civilization diffused, until all humanity shall he benefitted by its energizing and ennobling impulses, and the enlightmenta and^rts of each nntion be made to contribute to the'advraeem^nVandhappinessof tifti rest.

OLD 3IEX.—A man will ncVCr rust out.As long as lie can move or breathe, lie will be doing something for hiiVisclf, or his neighbors, or for posterity. Almost to the last hours of his life, Washington was at work. So were Franklin, mid A Jams, ancf Young, and Howard, and Newton. The vigor of their lives was not decayed. No' rust, marred their spirits. It is a foolish idea to suppose that wc must lie down and die because wc arc old. Who is old? Not the old man of energy not the day laborer in science, art or bcnCvdlenCe but he only' who suffers his energies to waste away, and the spring of life to become motionless on whose hands the hours drag heavily, ami to whom all things wear the gaj*b of gloom. There are scores of grey headed men wcv should prefer in any important enterprise,to those young gentlemen who fear and tremble at approaching shadows, and turn pale at a lion in their path, a harsh word or a frown.

How A SITN-STROKR AFFECTS MAN.—* The general impression is that death by sun-stroke is very painful, but the contrary would seem to be the fact, judging from the following account of the effect of such* a visitation, given by General Sir C.

A.NOTIFEK REV. FKKMONTKR IN TROUBLE.We have again to record a notice of adownfall of a political preachcr in Ohio, a' class ofiWcn who seem to be' peculiarly unfortunate in judicial investigations aboofc these days. At recent term of the Court, in Carroll county, Ohio, the Rev. Joseph.: Barclay was found guilty of seduction and breach of promise of marriage to ElizaVetft Sharp, and mulcted in damages to the value of $5,000. The Stark county Democrat in noticing the ease says:

The cfe feud ant was a preachcr of thc( Covenanter or Seceder faith, and was one of the leading Fremont Kanrn.3--shfciking preachers ofCarroll county. The evidence 011 trial showed that he had for some time been paying his addresses to Miss Sharp* an accomplished and highly respectable young lady of the county, that he promised to marry her, and then with the hellish! machinations of a fiend, but sheilded witb the livery of heaven, he set about Iris wort of destruction, and by prayers and great professions of righteousness, coupled with his promise of marriage, he succeeded in seducing the young girl from the path of virtue, and accomplished her ruin and deserted h^r".
