EXTRAORDINARY jEAT.—A few clays ego,
two young chimney sweeps entering the burgh or Linlithgow
from the cast, spied a new and tall steam engine vent, whose
cloud-capt summit seemed to challenge their Climbing powers.
Quitting the high road, the young rogues entered the building,
and contrived to creep up through the interior of the vent to the
top ; and after performing many capers and gambols on " the
speculative height," to the terror and amazement of the specta.
tors, one of them suddenly executed a somerset, pitched down
on his hands, and raising his heels in the air, continued to kick
against the clouds for some time, with all imaginable ease.
the vent stands detached from every other building, is seventy
feet high, three feet diameter on .the outside, and eighteen
inches within, so that our tumblers had only a ledge nine
inches in breadth to gambol upon. Certes, this surpasses the
feat of the English sailors who astonished the land of Egypt,
by carousing on the top of rompey's Piller.--(Ediribufgh
