which was immediately sent to Bryce. Cau

I dismissed them.
Bryce came.
“Well, sir, what have you against me ?’’ he
asked, rather stiffly.
“A claim on the part of John Wallace for
two thousand dollars,” I replied, poking over
my papers, and appearing supremely indiffer
ent.
"Paid it!" said be, short as pie-crust.
“Have you?” ami I looked him in the eye
aha-ply.
Tnc rascal quailed. 1 saw that he was a vil
lain.
“I have.”
“Nevertheless, if, within one hour, you do
not pay me the two thousand dollars, and one
hundred dollars for the trouble and anxiety
you havo caused my client, at the end of the
next hour you shall be lodged in jail to an
swer to a criminal charge!”
“What do you mean, sir ?"
"I mean what 1 say. Pay, or take the con-
eciuences.”
It waa a bold charge, and if he had looked
like an houest man, I should not have dared to
make it.
“I have paid the note, I tell you,” said be,
•I have it in my possession."
“Where did you get it?” .
“Why, of course, when I paid it ”
“When you feloniously entered the house
of John Wallace, on the night of Tuesday,
February 20, at ten of the clock, and took
the said note from the secretary."
“Yon have no proof," stammered he, grasp
ing a chair for support.
“That is my lookout. I havo uo time to
waste; will you pay, or go to jail ?"
that tho evidence I bad
strong for his denial, and he immediately drew
his check on the spot for twenty-one hundred
dollars; after begging me not to mention the
affair, he sneaked off.
I cashed the check, and hastened to Wal
lace’s house. _ The reader may judge with
what satisfaction he received it, how rejoiced
was Annie and her lover. Wallace insisted
that I should take the hundred dollars for my
services; but I was magnanimous enough, to
take only twenty. Wallace kept his promise,
and ever after was a temperate man. lie died
a few years ago, leaving a handsome property
to Chandler and his wife, the marriage be
tween him and Annie having taken place
shortly after the above circumstance occurred.
A Perilous Hour.
I was apprenticed to a decorative painter, but
being of a bold, danger-loving turn I ran away
to sea before my time was out

tired of maritime life, and having married and

Iaisn Revivals.—The London Lancet,
medical journal, thus relates these “manifes
tations," medically, pathologically:
The accounts given by eye-witnesses of the
Irish “revivals” in Belfast present vivid pic
tures of epidemic disease, such as.no instruc
ted physician can fail to recognize. Those
who are “tnken,” display all the symptoms of
contagions hysteria, snch as are occasionally
witnessed in female wards of large hospitals,
and amongst the inmates of boarding schools.
The fanatic tone of religious frenzy which is
peculiar to revivals, adds a note of higher ex
ultation to the excitement, and seems to bo
considered as a justification more than com
monly outrageous. The •'sufferers" display
various phrases of hysteria, coma, and clipti-
form convulsions. A young married woman
was seised during tho night with paroxysms
of violent convulsions and bodily agitation,
and continned next day in a very excited state,

lent hysteria. Once institute that condition
amongst one or two of a largo company of
females, and rigorous measures need to beta
ken to prevent it from spreading through the
whole body. Free and pitiless drenching with
cold water, and separation of those “taken,
would quickly reduce the revival. All means,
however, are employed by the organizers of
the agitation to increase its violence.
American Iron.
The experiment upon the Georgia. Centrd
Rail Road, as to the relative durability and
cheapness of the American and Imported Brit
ish iron, was conclusive ns tp the evident su
periority of the former. The General Super
intendent of that road has borne witne** to the
fact in his report. We extract the following
in relation to it: ... . ..
The Philadelphia North American publish
es several conclusive testimonials os to the
superiority, both in point of durability and
cheapness, of rails made of Pennsyl vania iron,
over the imported British iron. An experi
ment was tried on the Central Road of Geor
gia to test the qualities of the two kinds of
rails, the result of which has proved tn the
highest degree favorable to the rails of our
own manufacture from American iron. ™a

and part American rails; they were laulon op-
nosite sides of the same track for a long «*

better than the imported ones. Testimony of
this character will, of course, ha\e its due
weight.
Texas Election.
In regard to the election, the Galvestpn Civ-
in r . t lms the following para-
y ropes,
or cradle. Having fiown the kite, and drop
ped its line across the top of the chimney, we
soon drew up a rope at the end of which was a
block, through which ran the line whereby we
were to be drawn up.
Colly bail only been married a fortnight; and
as wc stepped in the cradle the men banteringly
asked him if he hadn’t a last dying speech to
leave to his wife; and then Mr. Staming having
shaken hands with us, and bid as be cool and
steady, wc were drawn slowly up. It was
known all over town that the conductor was to
lie fixed, though, as the day was not named, I
did not expect we should have had many spec
tators ; but as we gotjhiglier, and tho view op
ened under our feet, I saw that the streets were
already thronged with starers. Colly was very
quiet; and when I waved my cap to the people,
he said snappishly that this was no time for
such folly, and that he thought I might think
of better things than how to amuse these gap
ing fools, who, he dared say, desired no better
fun than to see us meet with an accident.
I had come up in the best heart, thinking, in
deed, nothing about the danger we incurred,
but as we drew nearer to the top, and had no
thing, as it seemed, belonging to this world
near us, but the straining rope, 1 began to sec
the peril of the undeHoking. IVhat Colly
thought of it I don’t know; lie sat at the bottom
of the cradle, never looking out, though I told
him he would do better to keep his eyes about
him, so that he might grow used to the height.
.Good heaven! what was this ? Here wc were
within a yard of the top projecting coping, and
still they were winding away, without slacking
speed in tho least I guessed in a moment that’
they mistook the height, and that with the great
purchase of that windlass the rope would be
broken when the cradle came to the block. I
had sprung up, and catching the rope dimlicd
hand over hand to the coping. Colly, too,
sprung np nnd followed me. lie, too, got safe;
and still they went on winding up, the rope
sprung again with the strain there was upon it.
Then it snapped, and the cradle, hauling line
and the main rope with it, fell down. Thas we
were two poor men left in a most desperate sit
uation.
Poor Colly was completely dazed with the
affright; and the moment we got on the coping
which was only a foot and a half broad, he call
ed out, "Where can I nray?” and so I said very
solemnly, "Sit down, Jim; God will hear as if
we pray to him sitting down.”
The color of his face was traasparent blue,
and it was distorted and twitching, as if he was
in a fit His eyes were very wild and drawn
into a squint, and ho couldn’t sit steady, but
swayed hia body backward and forward, so that
1 felt certain th'at he must topple over.
“Come, Jim, lad,” I said, thinking to take
the fright off him, “its had enough, hut it can
be mended. Hitch up a bit and put your arm
around-the rod—may lie it will steady you.”
"Where arc you, and where Is this rod?” lie
asked in a very low voice, though he was look
ing straight at me, and the rod was only a foot
or two at his left. Bv this I knew that he was
gone blind with fright; and self-preservation
said, don’t go near him; but then 1 remember
ed his new wedded wile, and taking him all
through, he was a decent fellow, and I thought
how I should like him to have done if I 1iad
been in his place. Of course I dare not get on
my foot | but working myself on my hands, I
got to liim,%nd putting my arm around his
waist, and telling him, as clieerly as I could, tQ
keep cool, I got him with his arm around the
rod. It had, however, sprung the stapling for
five yards down, and it was so loose that it
swayed with him, and I expected every minute
to see him falling heels over head down, and the
rod tearing away with him.
There was a great bustle down below ; people
were running round the yard pushing to get in,
but as there was some score of men at the foot
of the chimney and by close looking I saw them
put somebody on a board and carry him to the
engine house. One of the men walked after,
that it must be poor Mr. Staining, as none of
our men wore hats. Not a face was turned up
to us. I learned afterwards, that our men were
so taken up with sorrow that so good a man
nnd to kind a matter should be killed, that for
a while they had never thought about us, and
the people outside imagined that we had come
down with the cradle, so thus we were left in
total isolation for as much as twenty minutes.
While I was watching them below, feeling
very sorry for my poor master, I was startled
by a wild laugh from Colly, who began making
cat-calls, and yelling as if he was possessed.
Then, of course, 1 knew thatdic was gone mail
Even now I tremble when I think of th* 1 J , J ne »
it was horrible to peer down the shaft, black
and sooty and yawning, and scarcely less so to
look outside and sec a flight of pigeons sweep
ing round at a considerable less height than we
were. Then Colly—thank God, he was so
dazed that he could not seo mo—called my name
three times, as 1 sat fairly cringing in drrad
that his sight might clear, with ghastly grins
and chewings witli his moutii, lie began \vork-
ing himself towards me. I worked away from
him as noiselessly as I could, with every hair of
my head standing on end. . He followed me
twice around that horrid coping, making most
hideous poises, and then being, come a second
time to the rod, he got an idea in his muddled
head, that I was fallen over, for he never lost a
sense of where he was all this trying time. -
Then he tried to get on his feet, but at nsk of
my own life, I could not let the poor fellow rush
on certain death without one more effort, and 1
cried out for him to sit down, and he cowered
down like a whipped dog, nil trembling. X sup
pose it bad been put into his bead that 1 was a

persons. The excursion train from Rochester
was composed of twenty cars, all full The
train from I^wiston, ten cars full, and the Great
Western Railway brought in thirty-five coaches;
these, also, were as full as they could hoi A The
steamer Zimmerman, from Toronto, brought
over J,2oO persons. A very largo number of
persons, from both sides of the river, came down
in their own carriages, and helped to swell the-
number of those present The Great Western
and Detroit and Milwaukie Railways, run a spe
cial excursion train, at half fare, from Milwau
kie to the bridge; and the Michigan Central
Road put on an Excursion train from Chicago,
to connect with the Great Western at Detroit.
When we arrived upon the ground, at about
four o’clock, every available seat and lookout
was secured, and 'both banks for some distance
back, were a mass of human beings, all eager
to catch a glimpse of Mon. Blondin and the man
he was to carry across on his back. Many
doubted whether M. Blondin would attempt the
feat, and others nsserted that he could not find
any one who would be willing toaccompany him.
About half past four o’clock, M. Blondin en
tered the enclosure, and proceeded to the end
of the rope on the American side. His appear
ance was the signal for a general cheering, which
-was responded to from the other side of the
river. He was dressed as on former occasions,
in silk tights, bareheaded, and had on his feet
rough-dressed buckskin shoes. In a few min
utes after his arrival, he ascended the rope with
his balancing pole, and started to cross the river
alone. Before leaving, he tied a pad of papers
around his waist After proceeding about one
hundred feet, ho stoppod, swung one foot and
then the oilier, and tiicu walking along fifteen
or twenty feet, stopped and stood upon his head
—his head resting upon the balancing pole,
which lay across the rope, the ends supported by
the guy ropes. He then ran along the rope,
stood tipon his head—sat down—turned sum-
ersets backwards and forwards, and proceeded
to tile middle of the river where there arc no
guys. He hero laid down on the rope on his
back at full length, stood on his head, laid his
balancing pole across the rope and stood upon
it with one foot, and balanced it with tho other
foot, his hands lying by his side. He then pas
sed along the rope to where the guys on the
Canada side were fastened, and laid down his
balancing pole. He now returned with his
body beneath the rope, running along with his
liands and feet as an ape to the middle of the
rope, between the guys. He hero went through
with all the feats attempted by tight rope per
formers, such as hanging by one foot, then the
other, by one band, then dropping his body
down full length below the rope and whirling
round, resting his breast upon the rope and with
arms and legs extended as if in the act of swim
ming. He hung by both arms and then passed
his body between his arms and the rope—and
in fact performing all the feats ever performed
by the most agile tight rope performers. He
then returned to where his balancing pole was,
took it up, and crossed to tho Canada bank,
stopping several times to turn summersets, to
stand upon his head, upon one foot, and to lay
down upon the rope. I'pon his reaching the
Canada shore, he was received with tremendous
Cheers by the crowd, and the locomotives on
the bridge and on both sides of the river re
sponded with their whistles. *■
M. Blondin occupied something over half an
hour in crossing, roost of the time being spent
in his pernmnaiiccs ™ ti»» He remained
upon the Canada side, to rest and refresh hira-
sell some fifteen or twenty minutes, and again
appeared upon the rope. This time he had his

the rope very slowly and cautiously, as if feeling

crossing, and each time Mr. Colcord dismounted
and again resumed his position. He had bis
arms around Mr. Blondin's neck, and his legs
rested on the balancing pole. He was in his
shirt sleeves, and wore a straw hat About
twenty-two minutes were occupied in accom
plishing the first half of the rope, and the bal
ance in twenty, making forty-two minutes from
bank to bank.
For some seconds before the American shore
was reached, the crowd gathered around the
end of the rope became very noisy, and a good
deal of excitement prevailed; and when he
reached the staging on this side safely, the vast
crowd shouted with the greatest cnthusiAsm.
On reaching the landing. Moils. Blondin was
much flashed, and appeared very much fatigued,
while Mr. Colcord was pale, but did not betray
any signs of fear. It was about half pAst six
o’clock when he reached fliis side, and the trains
which had been detained and were ready, start
ed immediately for their several destinations,
with probably 5,000 persons.
The daring feat was most successfully accom
plished, and we understand Mons. Blondin will
repeat it on Wednesday of next week. -

paper can be printed, the Times can use three
or four presses at once, and thus print its 59,000
copies, on an emergency, in two hours’ time.
The Times employs in its establishment some
350 persons. It has eighteen reporters at the
Iloascs of Parliament, and for these, as well as
for the majority of its compositors, the working
