JBrUQ Navigation. About a year ago, au elaborate de? scription appeared in these columns of Dr.. Solomon Andrew's projected flying ship, then building at Perth Aruboy. Since then, the enterprise, following all improvements, has taken " '?. np its residence in New York, and for several months has been undergoing preparations at the corner of Hons - ton and Greene streets, having passed into tile hands of an efficient com? pany, of which Dr. Andrews, the in? ventor, is president. Yesterday afternoon at 4 p. m., all being in readiness, four gentlemen Dr. [An cl re ws, President; G. W. Trow, vice-President; C. M. Plumb, Secre? tary; arid G. Waldo Hill, a director of .'The iErial Navigation Cooi ? pany," entered the spacious basket of i -j> the "iEreon" cut loose from terra ? . firma, and started upon a voyage of discovery through the azare ether that hong as a veil of beauty over the busy city. The ship easily and gracefully ascended at once to a height of some 2,000 feet, or conside? rably more than six times the height of Trinity steeple, -where, in mid air, the ceaseless hum of thc city ascend? ed with diminished and softened affect, and from whence the multitu? dinous mass of humanity that darken the streets appeared as Lilliputs, sur? rounded by houses of equal minia? ture extent, each intent upon his petty'task of pleasure. The island" and its suburbs lay stretched in masslike distinctness, through which rivers and streets threaded their sinuous way, -with au effect to which distance lent enchant? ment that converted edifies! gross? ness into outlined beauty, and toned down deformities to a varied and sug? gestive smoothness and cleanliness ns pleasing to an artist as it would have been satisfactory to the argus-eyed Board of Health. For the first five minutes the ship drifted steadily in a North-easterly course, but, a little ballast cast ont, she instantly and gracefully obeyed the direction of the rudder, and was headed in a South-westerly line along which, though under a minimum of gas, she shot at an undeviating un swaying rate of less titan three mi? nutes to the mile. As the trip was urely experimental, the aeronauts cpt afloat- no longer than -would assure the practical success of the und cr taking, and suggest any needed improvements and alterations advisa? ble to the more complete outfit of the flying conqueror of the atmosphere and the annihilator of current. A further lengthening of tho "jerostat" or gas-containing section, of the ma? chine to thirty feet, so as to secure a flight angle ol fifteen degrees, and a stronger stiffening of the rudder, were the only additional measures recommended by the results of tito trip. These will bo immediately ef? fectuated. While in the car, tho wind blowing quite freshly, came almost directly athwart the faces of the voyagers, and pieces of paper cast on the bosom of the air were wafted in a course contrary to that pursued by the machine, thus conclusively prov? ing that, unlike baboons, tho "JKreon" can proceed if need bo, against, and not slavishly, with the wind, as tho former always do. After being supra nimbos for about twenty-five minutes, tho docile and beautiful steam-winged bird was suc? cessfully persuaded to pay a terrestial visit to Astoria, where both her high? ness and her privileged masculino convoys wero received with surprise and welcome acclamations by the as? tonished denizens, and whence, gath? ering in her plumage, the Queen of the Air allowed herself to be borne in a plebian cart to her resting-place in the metropolis. Other and more extended flights are in design during the snmmer weeks. The initial and gratifying success of this measure is tho reward of years of thought, toil, expense, and intelligent scientific research on tho part of Dr. Andrews, in the face of skepticism, opposition and red-tape indifference, and assures him not only recognition and peerhood among the foremost inventor? of the age, but we hope a return of substantial results that will bo none tho less de? served because wholly a secondary consideration to his mind. Lovers can henceforth soar actually as near Heaven as their aspirations can carry them already, -while ?bove tho terrestrial grandeur and fashion of Central Park pleasure parties can partake of rarified sweets in ratified atmosphere, and earthly items at a stand-still, adventurous reporters will make a raid for topics upon the now explorable dominions of the "Prince of the Power of tho Air." [New York World. Among the advertisements in a late London paper, we read that "two sisters want washing." What a dirty couple, to need such a public admo? nition. , . Tryinff iii? Patience. j ,,1??V tb? Washington correspondent of th* Cincinnati Coiiiniercwl, comm unie? tes the fol? lowing: T s ? They tell ?.story about the Presi? dent and a severe test upon bia go Gel humor, which will do to relate. The "Right Way" isa small, seven-by nino sheet, sadly misnamed, and de? voted, primarily, to the nbnse 6f An? drew Johnson, ?nd, secondarily, to the advocacy bi thc Smmuerian inode of reconstruction. LiC\v. Campbell happened to pick tip a copy of it, a few months ago, which was peculiarly "rich" iu vituperation, and scandal. He took it to the White House, and, in the coarse of an interview with his Excellency, drew it from his pock? et, with tim remark, "Now, Mr. l*re ftideat, I'm going to test your dif? ferent men hil and moral qualities. Iiot me see how yon are as to phi? losophy." Campbell then read an ar Molo en? titled "Andrew Johnson and Thomas [ Paine,*' written after the manner of j Plutarch's 'Comparison,' and to ?how that Paine was a very estimable j man, compared with Johuson. The ! President listened to inattentively. "How do you like that?" said I Campbell. " Well, it's uot bad." said Andy, good humoredly. I "Now," said Campbell, "I want to test your patriotism." And he read an article, showing that, as be? tween Andy Johnson and Benedict Arnold, there was a largo bain noe m favor of the latter in tho matter of love of country. .1 How do you like that ?" said Campbell. " Oh, it will do. This is a free country, you know," smilingly re? plied the President. " Well, now prepare for a t^st of your fidelity," said Campbell, and proceeded to read an article entitled "Judas Iscariot and Andrew John? son," to the effect that tho betrayal of his master by tho former was a.s nothing compared with the betrayal of his party by the latter. " What do you think of <7?.;, Mr. President ?" "Well, I guess my shoulders are broad enough to stand it." replied his Excellency, not at all moved bf displeasure. "Now, hore comes the climax," said Campbell, aud began to read a double-leaded editorial to the effect that the Right Way would be circu? lated through the agency of the Freed? men's Burean, under on order fr? ?ni Gen. Howard. " How do you like that, Mr. Presi? dent ?" inquired Campbell. The President laughed, looked his Ohio friend in tho eye, and said: "Well, now, I don't mind the other things, but doesn't it strike yon the Howard part is a little too steep?" Campbell said it really did appear to him in that light. The President finally took the paper and made some notes on the margin of the order of General Howord-since which time, it is supposed, thc Freedmen's Bu? reau hasn't been instrumental in cir? culating the Right Way to n very great extent. -? ? The dress of a Parisian lionne, at tho Sunday races, is thus described : " She had on a blue taffeta robe em ?iire, tho train of which was slightly ooped up. A petticoat of tho last make swept tho ground, all Valen? ciennes insertion, muslin frills and lace as snowy as cambric. Tho tight casaque and robe were trimmed with three rows of white satin, cut on thc cross and placed at oven distances, between which and down the trout were sown oxydizod silver buttons. The accessories were a silver belt, silver heels to high blue boobs, a white Brussels lace parasol, fringod with marabout, and a bonnet, the veriest nothing of a bonnet-beginning lifo under very trying circumstances. It was a corn-colored tulle Pamela, with a garland of green foliage, having, here and there, a rosebud, while sprigs of tho same were twisted in her chignon under a very invisible net." SOME TRUTH.-A good many freed? men may daily be seen around the court house, having been summoned to tho Superior Court? as witnesses. An old fellow remarked a few days ago, "white folks dono turned foo] 'bout niggers stcalin'. Why don't dey give 'um whipping, and let 'um go 'bout bLsuess, and not turn fools in making us come hero to bill 'bout it, when crap full o' grass. What niggei kere 'b out massa' 1 a wy er and 'tentiaryi All bamboozle." -Columbus Sun. A man who was boasting that Iber, never was any rope or cord, whet he: mado of hemp, wiro, or anything else, in which he could not tie i double bow knot, was summarily pul down by being requested to t?o ? knot in a cord of wood. "Sir," said a little blustering mai to a religious opponent, "to wha sect do you belong?" "Weill don' exactly know," replied the other "but to judge from your size and nj) pearanco, I should think you beloii) to the class called insects." A Texas editor was recently shot ii a street recoutre. Fortunately fo the man, he carried his misfortune about him. Tho ball lodged in ; bundle of unpaid bills. He was 01 a collecting tour.

Among tho i miumerable-anecdotes related of /lib? f?hl of persons at play, there IA ono worth relating, which-rettrs to a Mr.- Porter, a geix-. tletnan who, kl the reign of Queen Amie, possessed one of the best estates in 'Northumberland, tho whole of which he lost at hazard, in twelve months. According to the story of this madman-fe?r we can call min nothing else-"when ho had just com? pleted tho loss of Iiis last acre, at a gambling house in Loudon, and was proceeding down stairs to throw himself into a carriage to conve}* him homo to his house in town, he resolved upon having one more throw to try to l-etiivo Iiis losses, and immediately returned to the room where the play was going on. Nerved for tho worst that might happen, he insisted that the person he had boen playing with should give him ono chanco* of recovery or light with him. His proposition was this. That his carriage and horses, tho trinkets and loose money in his pockets, bis town house, plate and furniture, in short, all he had left in the world, sh.mid be valued tn a lump at a cer? tain sum, and be thrown at a single east. No persuasion could prevail on him to ?lepart from his purpose. He threw, and lost; then, conducting thc winner to the doe>r, he told tho coach? man there was his master, and marched forth into tim dark and dis? mal streets, without house or home, or any creditable means of support. Thus beggared, he retired to an ob? scuro leidging in a cheap part of tho town, subsisting partly on charity, sometimes acting as the marker at a hilliard table, and occasionally as a helper in a lively stable. In this miserable condition, with nakedness and famine staring him in the faee, exposed te> the taunts and insults ed those whom lu- had nnrc supported, he was recognized by au oki friend, who gave him ten guineas to purchase ne cessarie s. Ho expond ed five in procuring decent apparel; with the remaining live he repaired to a common gaming house and in? creased them te) fifty, ile theu ad journed to ono of the higher order of houses, sat down with funner asso? ciates, ami won ?20,000. Returning th.- next night, he lost it all. was once more penniless, and after sub? siding many years in abject poverty, ?lied a beggar at St. Giles. Pus AT HOME.-- Don't be afraiil of a little? fun at home, good people. Don't shut up your h<?use' lest thc sun should faelc ymir carpets, ami your heart lest a hearty laugh shake' down some of tho musty e>lel cobwe bs there. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the throsholel without, when they come home at night. When once; a home is regarded as only a plae-e to eat, think ami shop in, the work begins that euils in gambling houses and reckless dissipation. Young people must have fun and relaxation some? where; if they do not find it at their own hearthstones it will l>e; sought at other aud perhaps loss profitable places. Therefore, let the tire burn brightly at night, ami make tho homestead delightful with all Umso little arts that parents perfectly uu derstand. Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children ; half au hour of merriment round tho lamp ami fire-light of a home blots out the re? membrance of many a care and an? noyance during the day, anel the best safeguard they can take with thom into the world is tho unseen iufluenco of a bright little domestic fireside. ? - -<? ? ?
