An Amateur Acrobat oil a Tight Rope
Across Passaic Palls.
New York Sun.
Some weeks ago Harry Leslie walked
across the chasm under the Passaic
Falls in Paterson on a tight rope. Geo.
W. Dobbs, an acrobat of Paterson,
vt hose father is now dead, was once city
marshal, immediately advertised that
he would do all that Leslie did, and
more too. Dobbs kept his word, and
surprised the Patursonians. Then Dobbs
advertised another performance of the
kind that was to be yet more startling,
on September the 4th. This was post
poned on account of stormy weather
until yesterday.
Yesterday a great throng gathered at
the falls, many having come from long
distances to witness Dobbs’ perform
ance. There were more free spectators

Washington Letter.
Washington, Sept. 16,1$79.
There was a bad and threatening bolt
from the New York State Convention
last week, made up of certain leaders
and followers of the Tammany Hall
section of the Democracy of New York
city, But it was then evident, and is
now certain, that outside of the city the
bolt had few sympathizers and less sup-
i, and it is now equally certain
that only a email portion of the city
Democracy will follow John Kelly and
companions into the camp of the
enemy, Mr. Kelly announced, when
he received the bolters’ nomination for
(lovernor, that his purpose was to ruin
the party if he could not rule it. That
is not the talk that rulers make, or that
Democrats approve. Mr. Kelly
[and those of the Tammany organiza
tion who follow him will find, long be
fore election day, that, though the party
may he necessary to them, they are not
necessary to the party. Victory can be
[achieved without them, and will be.
The National Board of Health traces
[a very favorable distinction between
[the yellow fever of 1878 and that of. the
'resent year. Another advantage we
iow have is in the much more prompt
'fforts to check the disease. The Ho.w-
"Is anticipate an increase in the num
r of new cases at Memphis, but with
he financial and other aid offered they
mfidently expect to prevent any such
pneral spread of the disease as in 1878.
There will he a grand reoeption for

on the hills than paying ones in the
inclosure. A rope about an inch and a
half in diameter was stretched from
bank to bank, below the falls, being
fastened to two trees 224 feet apart.
The wator foamed and eddied seventy
feet below, sharp-cornered bowldeis
themselves a little below the surface.
After some preliminary performances
by two or three acrobats, Dobbs dressed
tights and carrying a thirty-six
pound balanoing-pole, started across the
chasm. He seemed perfectly cool, and
his paoe was almost a run. Then he
orossed back, walking backward on the
rope. Next he opened a bottle of
wine, poured out Beveral glasses for
spectators, and going to the centre of
the rope, poured the remainder of the
wine into a glass, drank to those on
shore, who swallowed their wine at the
same time. As Dobbs threw the bottle
high into the air a sharp report was
heard, and there was a frightened cry
from the spectators, who thought the
rope had snapped asunder. But the
flying bottle was shattered to pieces,
and then it was seen that the report
came from a gun in the hands of Chris
tian Rineharat, who stood on the shore.
Dobbs threw twelve glass balls into the
air, and Rinehardt shattered them all,
in accordance with a fifty dollar wager.
Dobbs had advertised to carry a
twelve years old boy across on his back,
but the city authorities forbade the act,
and Dobbs obeyed them, although the
chosen boy cried to go. Dobbs had ar
ranged to walk across in a sack and
with peach baskets on his feet, but
some of the spectators interfered and
persuaded Dobbs’ friends to take the
saok and baskots away. Then Dobbs
put a small hoop over his ankles, which
prevented him from stepping more
than a few inches, and walked across
and back, throwning cakes at the
ladies on the shbrs. Feats by the other
gymnasts followed; one, oalled the
“iron-jawed man,” being pulled across
the river on a rope stretched over from
Morris Mountain, while he supported
himself by his teeth, and fired revolv
ers, waived flags, and threw glass balls
to shoot at.
Later in the afternoon Dobbs repeat
ed his performances, and in the evening
there was a flying trapeze aot, in which
a performer named Mat Loxley, in
taking a sixty feet leap, missed his
aim and fell among the spectators,
breaking his nrm and dislocating his
jaw. That ended the performance.
How Maine was Carried by the
Radicals.
A Portland correspondent of the Hart
ford Times writes to that paper as fol
lows :
Not all the votes which were cost for
Davis were secured from love of the Re
publican cause or admiration of an hon
est dollar, or party prejudice, or fear of
Democratic ascendency. It is a shamo
to be obliged to record that there was
much bulldozing of a “civilized sort”
resorted to by wealthy firms and rich
corporations and manufacturing estab
lishments upon their poor employeo.
Many workmen were discharged for
avowing their purpose to vote the Green
back ticket. Many cases of this nature
can be named to the shame of the State
and our New England civilization.
Then the votes of many army and navy
pensioners were influenced by threats of
the examining surgeons and others,
that if they did not vote the Republi
can ticket their pensions should be with
drawn. This disgraceful appliance is
thought to have added materially to the
vote for Davis. The search of Con-
;ressional committees for cases of bull-
lozing and intimidating voters would
be promptly rewarded by a visit to
Maine. It would seem that Congress
should take some notice of the threats
made to the disabled defenders of the
Union, and it is understood that the
case of one pensioner in Oxford county,
who was cut off on account of joining
the Greenback party, will be presented
before Congress early in the next sea-
~ ! on.
Just as Effectually.
There is no swear words in the Sioux
language, it 1b said. But don’t let your
sympathy go out to the poor red man on
that account. He doesn’t feel the loss
of them. When anything doesn’t please
him—when, after carefully sharpening
his lead pencil, the point snaps off—in
stead of relieving himself with a string
of oaths, he mutters two or three terri
ble-looking, five-story words with bay
windows and mansard roof, and rushes
out and soalps a pale face. ThissootheB
his angry feelings just as effectually as
if he had all the profanity of the French
language at his command.

eases, Scaly Eruptions, Itchlngs,
and Irritations.
The testimonials of permanent euros of Skin
and Sealp Diseases, which have been the torture
of a lifetime, by the Outicura Remedies, are
more wonderful than any ever before performed
by any methods or remedies known to the med
ical profession.
Cutloura Resolvent, a powerful Blood Purifier,
is the only purifying accent which finds its way
into the circulating fluid and thenee through
the oil and sweat glands to the surfaee of tho
■kin, tbuB destroying ths poltonous elements
with whioh. these vessels havo been daily
oharged.
Cutloura, Tho Great Skin Cure, applied exter
nally, arrests all unnatural or morbid growths
which oover the surface of the diseased glands
and tubes with Sealy, Itching and Irritating
Humors, tpeedilylt rsmoves them, leaving the

ticles of matter.
Thus internally and externally do these great
remedies aot in conjunction, performing cures
that have astonished the most noted physicians
of the day.
SALTRHEUM~FOR 30 YEARS
On the Head, Face and Greater Part of
tho Body, Cured.
Messrs. Weeks A Potter: Gentlemen—I have
been a great sufferer with Sait Rheum for 30
years, commencing in my head and face and
extending over the greater part of my body. I
have taken gallons of medicines for the blood of
different kinds and tried good physicians, all of
which did me no good, ana I came to the oonelu
sion that I eould not' bo eared. But a friend
called my attention to an artiole in the Union
on skin diseases, and I got a box of Gutioura.
The first application was a great relief, and the
third took the soales all off, and I felt like a
new man. I have need three SO cent boxes and
my skin Is smooth, and I consider myself en
tirely cured. Hoping that this may bo aeon by
some one efflioted as I have been (il there is
any) is my earnest wish. And I cheerfully reo-
ommend it to all persona sffiioted with like dis
eases. Yours truly,
B. WILSON LORD.

There are a great many Democratic
platforms and planks, but it seems to
vfs the real, vital issues of the day can
be touched in a few questions.
Shall the Democratic majorjty rule,
or must it submit to a Republican mi
nority ? ...
Shall the will of the people be obey
ed, or the will of a few daring political
desperadoes ?
Shall a party be continued in power
whioh openly refuses to obey both the
law of the land and the votes and voioes
of the people?
Shall the Republican party own this
republic as if in fee simple?
Shall Grantism, imperialism and cor
ruption take the place of honest local
self-government ?
Shall the people not only condone
fraud and crime, but elevate and pro
mote its perpetrators ?
Shall tho minority party, now )n
power, submit to the majority 1
Shall the South bo governed by lie-
publicans from Washington, mstoad ot
governing itself?
Shall there be real ppaoe, reconcilia
tion and patriotism among the people
or must there be eternal hatred flue
Shall centralisation and sectional fa
naticism accomplish what secession
failed to accomplish ?
