Barnum's Masterpiece.

Barnum has performed many wonders, but
the greatest OF all is the fhllowine: 1t con-
sists in nothing less thdn passing down the
Niagara cataract in a vessel constructed for
tits purpose The vessel sa ball of gut,a
percha, thiuty feet in diameter, supported in
its interior BY hoops rings Of steel, and wood
Strings of GU ia perchn coming from four
points of the rings meet in the centre of the
sphere. where they are fixed to coat of mail
of the same material. This is so fixed that d
man bucksd hi il hangs, supported by the four
istrnes, safe in the middle of the ball. A. the
lower end Of the bail, where the lower part of
the mail is directed, some lead is put so that
swimming in the water the head side will be
turned upwards In this upper part there is u
mole which may be opened By the person in
the interior. The ball is so strong as TO sus-
tain without danger the shock of the fall. On
accoun, &C. its size it cannot sink, nor can the
person bucked in the coat Of mail suffer any
harm from the violence of the fall As'soon as
the ball, after its fall, has found lis centre Of
gravity, its inhabitant unbuckles himself, opens
the flap, and gets out of the hold, waving the
United States colors under the applause OF
some 10000 or 100000 spectators, who Bar
mum intends to assemble, one dollar each, up
on the occasion of his first performance. From
every such performance again OF 100000 or
$4,000 is TO be counted on, since from all
parts of the Union spectators will flock to the
cataract of Niagara. Barnum is about to
make an experiment with dog. If that ami
NAL arrives all right below, a niger will be
engaged for the next experiment II that one
arrives equally safe, the Yankee undertakes
the first serious passage himself. SO g ~ -.

Congressional.

WAsulYGroY, April 2lrh-SENArE.--The
special order, which was the resolution giving
the Naval Committee power TO send for persons
and papers, coming up Mr., Houston, OF Texas,
resumed his remarks on the action Of the late
Naval Board, r, hering his statements OF the
previous day relative TO Lieut.. Rolando aud
Capt. Pendergust, strongly in defence Of the
latter, who, as nm officer Of the Board, was
charged with offences similar TO those which
were alledged against other officers dismissed
from the service by that Board. Some allu-
sion by the Senator TO the former gallant con-
duct of Lieut.. BrownelI. of Rhode Island,
dropped by the action Of the Board,) called
forth few remarks from Messrs. Mallory. Al
len aud Toombs which placed the services Of
that officer during the late war in conspicu.
Gus light. Mr. Houston then proceeded with
Il review of the character and services Of Lieut.
Gibson, (put on the furloughed list by the
Bolrd) of Commander Ringgold, and OF Lieut..
Bartlett who were severally defended from the
accusations brought against them Towards
the conclusion of his remarks the Senator re-
turned to recapituae his charges against Capt
Dupont, and quoted from several documents in
confirmation Of his statements. Though these
inquiries and the counter statements elected
related chiefly TO private character, we are glad
to state that no personal usperity was manifest
ed during the discussion. The Senator finish
ed his speech with an earnest protest against
the law authorizing the Naval Board, and
while advocating the immediate repeal, urged
the appointment of u special committee of in
quiry, who should hear the appeals Of the Off
GERS uggrieved by the action of the Board, and
recommend for reappointment and restoration
to rank such as should appear to have been i'm
properly dropped or disrated..
APRIL 30-Mr Herbert, OF California, refer

Ii cur citizens are 10 receive no relief. the

conclusion, he offered resolution, which was
adopted, instructng the Committee on Foreign
AAhirs TO inquire if any, and further legisIa

We publish to-day set of spirited resolu.
tons on the Loan Bill, passed at meeting in

April. In every section of the State, there is
but one expression of opinion, and but one sen.
timent anlmatmg the people, and that is in IA.
vor of the loan Of six TO eight thousand dollars
per mile TO the Railroads. Everywhere the
State Plan meets with opposition, and while
it is known there was respectable majority
in the House of Representatives at the adjourn
ment, in favor Of the Loan Bill. there can b.
no doubt; now, Of its passage by large major

will give greater impetus to population and
production and the general prosperity Of the

9AiepEARANcEs.-Upon the subject of dress
and Appearances, the New York Times thus
remarks
A coat that has the marks of use upon il is
recommendation TO people of sense, and a hat
with too smooth a nap and too high lustre is
derogaory circumstance. The best coats in
Broadway are on the backs of penniless tops,
broken down merchants, clerks with pittiful
salaries, and men who don't pay up. The
heaviest gold chains dangle from the fobs of
gamblers and gentlemen of very limited means.
Costly ornaments on the ladies indicate to the
eyes that are well open, the fact of silly
lover or husband cramped for funds. When a
pretty woman goes by in a suit ofplain and
neat apparel, it is a sign that she has fair
expectations, and husband that can show a
balance IN his favor. For women are like
books--too much gliding makes men suspi-
cious that the binding is the most important
point. MIS-
