II. De Lave on the Tight Rope.

the Genesec Falls on tight rope OH Tuesday
afternoon. 4 eoncourse OF from eighteen
To twenty Thousand people witnessed the per-
tormauce, and were thoroughly drenched by
IL severe thunder shower which occurred just
previous to the commencement OF the feat
The Rochester Democrat says:
De Lave made his appearance, dressed IN
tights and velvet jacket, such Az IL worn by
tight rope performers ordinarily. lie wore
on his head II velvet hat gail decorated with
ribbons. An immediate rush WAS made to
the end of the rope by the people who had
not secured seats, and it was some time be-
fore the police could force the crowd " fall
back; but at length order WAS measurably
restored and DE Lave, taking up his pole,
turned to the spectators and having bowed
gracefully around. started boldly out rn his
perious walk. lie had proceeded but short
distance when ii became apparent that the
rope vas not properly Suyed. lie swayed
from side to side with n sort uf waving mo-

than anybody else. but he evidently found 1t
necessary to use great caution. Once or twice
lie was obliged to stop short, but never lost
his bslanre for u moment, and maintained
lhruus hout the utmost selt-p1sseSslon. Some
expected To see him quail as he reached the
sheet of water pouring over the rocky pre-
cipice, but he did not, although his position
was apparently one Of extreme hazard. lie
walked calmly over the roaring cataract,
and reached the root Of the sawmill amid the
dcafcnins cheers Of the multitude which
watched his progress. He remained Oh tho
roof Of the building not far from five minutes,
and then started on his return.
About half of the way across he suddenly
dropped astride OF the rope. and there extcn-
ded himself at full length on his back after
which he recovered his upright position sSaln.
and, after sitting Il few seconds, dropped on
his breast. lie then rose b. his feet and
stood on one les for some time. Resuming
his walk. he speedily gained tho east bank,
and was received with thunders vi applause
Several individuals became 81 much excited

shoulders oti the ground. He did not exhibit
any particular evidence of WEAKNESS, and we
have no doubt he could have walked twice

Now Mode Of Hanging Pictures.

\ very simple and hand y method for hang
ing pictures, has lately been patented 10y MIR
Adams, of the llaynarket. 1t consists III
taking one or two strips of brass, which art
made strong. and ut the same time ornamen'
ted with u pattern upon them; these are
either hooked upon the rod which is usually
fixed along the cornicc Of II room, or fast
.nd by common brass headed nail, and are
allowed to hang down against the WALL
Upon this band slides IA kind of stud. ca.
p,hlc Of hcing fixed tight by turning the
head with screw, ami upon this stud,
which has projecting mob, is placed the
ring which il fastened Ia all picture frames,
umd thus the picture is hung. The nd>an,
tnges OF this plan are that pictures ARE very
easily taken down or put up; or If 1t II
wished to examine Il picture closel Y, it may
hr readily lowered by loosening the sliding
pegs, and ~ easily restored 10 its position
aud fixed there. The proper height. with re.
gard to light is obtained with less difficulty
than i'll the requisite shortening or lensthen-
ing of the cord generally omployed. Almost
any number ol pictures may be hung upon
the same strips. and their relative position
varied to please the fancy, without much
trouble.
