WALKING ON THE WArER.-Mr. Hickock por-
formed his feat of walking on the surface of
the bay, yesterday afternoon, in presence of
nearly four hundred spectators. The perform
ance took place on the north side of the island,
short distance froom Noodles wharf. Shortly
after four o'clock Mr.. Hickock left the shore in
boat and donned his "boots" in about seven
or eight feet Of water. By means of long
pole he stesdied himself for second, and then
walked off with brisk step. After walking q
few rods, followed by a large number Of boats,
he turned briskly round, and walked back to
the place where the bulk Of the spectators were
standing. Although his boots have rather a
clumsy and unwieldly-like appearance, Mr..
Hickocl appeared to move about with great
facility, and in whatever direction he wished.
After marching upon the water for about half
an hour, Mr.. Hckock approached the land and
explained the theory Of his invention. He also
stated that in short time he expected to ap-
pear in another pair of "toots," in which he
would leap into tho middle Of the bay and
walk about where he pleased. Toronto Globe.

Interesting to Commercial Men.

A suit of the Atlantic Bank Of New York,
against the Paterson Manufacturing Company,
on trial in the Passaic, IN. j.. Circuit Court, for
a week past, terminated on Tuesday in ver-
dict for the plaintiffs for the full amount
claimed. The Trenton American says:
This action, one of much interest to the
commercial community, has settled, according
to the charge Of the Judge, that negotiable pa
per issued by corporation for accommodation
is, in the hands of bona fde holder for value,
without notice of its peculiar character, valid.
In this case, the President Of the Paterson
Manufacturing Company loaned, as the defend
ants allege, to friend in New York, for the
accommodation of the latter, the checks Of the
company to very large amount, some $4,000.
This paper, made payable to the Presidents
individual order, and indorsed by him. was
passed for full value to the Atlantic Bank in
the course Of business, and taken by them
without notice Of the fact that it was accommo-
dation paper, and that as these checks were
made payable at q future day, and the words
acceptance waived" were written across their
face, any holder would have had legal notice
of their character. The court charged the
jury that even if the company had no power
to issue the paper, yet, If that fact did not ap-
pear upon its face, that checks in the hands OF
bona fde holder, without actual notice, are
good against the company. .......-..--

DREADFUL HURRIoANE-TwENrY HOUSES De-
MoLIsHED.-The Wilmington IN. C.) Herald of
of the 23d inst. says:
A friend writes US from Rockingham the
particulars of dreadful hurricane which
swept over Richmond County and the upper
part of Marlboro District, S. c., on the 10th
inst. The destruction Of dwellings, crops, &C.,
appears to have been terrible, anu it is feared
one or two lives have been lost. So far as
heard from, twonty houses are reported as COM
pletely blown down; while the number un-
rooted and otherwise damaged is almost unac-
countable. A kitchen in Marlboro, in which
were four negroes, was blown clear away, with
out hurting the negroes. The corn blown out
Of the field into the swamps, is represented as
being many thousand bushels. Pine trees two
and three feet in diameter were taken up by
tho roots and carried two and three hun dred
yards. Light wood stumps in tho open fields
were torn up and blown away. In fact, such q
wind has mover been experienced in that Sec
ton before.

The PRECIOUS MErALs.-The latest reliable
Investigations as to the disposition Of the i'm
mense quantities of the precious metals now
produced, point to an annual consumption Of
twelve millions sterling in the arts, seven
and half millions sterling by loss and abra-
sion of coins, and ten millions boarded in
Europe and Asia. From England alone the
foreign export Of silver during seven years,
C951-'57,) was forty-six millions sterling,
and gold f4,7OO,O 900. In 1856, equivalent to
sixty millions of dollars; in 1857, to eighty
millions Of dollars, and from the Mediter-
ranean ports, from ten to fifteen millions Of
dollars annually.

..... WASHINGTON, September 2S.
The correspondent of tho New York Herald
says:
I am informed that some additional propo-
sitions to those already before our Government
have recently been submitted by Mexico, in
regard to the settlement of claims, and for pro-
lection, or the manner Of protecting the Transit
route.
Among the proposed stipulations to be con-
sidered by Secretary Cass and the Mexican
Minister is an important one in relation to
the settlement Of claims of citizons Of the
United States upon Mexico, which requires
that tho claims bc adjudicatcd by four commits
sioners, two to be appointed by the President
of each government, and an umpire, to be Sc
lected by the commissioners, or In case Of their
disagreement by tho Secretary Of State and the
Mexican Minister, and the amount of such ad-
Indicated claims over tho 100000 which the
treaty has provided for the payment Of them is
to DO settled by ten annual payments of equal
amount, with interest at six per cent. until
paid, bonds to be given for the amount, which
will be receivable by the Mexican Government
for any export or import dues to that govern
ment.
1t is proposed also TO obviate the objections
of the Mexican Government to our PROPOSE.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTMENT.-Thc late eminent
Judge, Sir Allen Park, once said at a public
meeting in London:
We live in the midst OF blessings till we
arc utterly insensible of their greatness and
Of the source whence they flow. We speak
of our civilization, our arts, our freedom, our
laws, and forget entirely how large share is
due to Christianity. Blot Christianity out OF
the pages of mans history, and what would
his laws have been-what his civilization?
Christianity is mixed up with our very be-
ing and our daily life; there is not a familiar
object around us which does not wear diff
ierent aspect because the light of Christian
love is upon it-not law which does not
owe its trust and gentleness to Christianity
not a custom which can not be traced, in all
its holy, healthful parts to tho gospel.

ARREST OF A RoBBER.-An ex-penitentiary
convict, named Charles Alden, was arrested
last night by Marshal Coffroth and officers
White and Whitzel, upon charge of robbing
gardner near GAINESVILLE of four hundred
dollars in silver, during the late State Fair.
Alden, who was discharged from the peniten-
tiary about three weeks ago, confessed having
assisted in the robbery and spent his share Of
the plunder, amounting to about two hundred
dollars, in this city since Saturday last. Forty
six dollars of the stolen money were found in
his possession. He appears to have lived like
prince during the brief period allowed him,
and said that he only regretted being arrested
before he could spend all his funds among the
gay associates of either sex he found in this
city. He was locked up in the station house
to await orders from zanesville.- Columbus

Terrible Suffering OH the Plains-Two
Men subslsting on Grasshoppers and
Buffalo Bones.

We find the following in the Manhattan
(Kansas) Express:
Nows recently reached Fort Riley, by two
soldiers who came in on express duty from
Prairie-Dog Creek, that two men who had
started for Pixies Peak were lying in starv-
ing condition at one Of the distant unoccupied
stations Of the late express company of Jones
~ Russell. The soldiers reported that il ad
equate means were sent To their relief, it was
still possible that they might be found alive,
although they were left in q delirious and
feeble condition. First Lieutenant Charles
Griffin and two others were Immediately dis
patched with what limited means the Quar-
ter-master at tho post could furnish. The
philanthropic mission reached its destination
ON the third day. Both father and son were
found even in worse condition than repre-
days before they were relieved by the small
quantity of tea, bacon and bread that the
Sergeant, who first discovered them, could
sparingy, else death would ensue-thcy be-
ing so we weak that they could scarcely stand
up without holding on to the door.
1t appears that they had lived on grasshop-
pers and widowed corn picked up from among
tho excrements lott by the animals which had
fed at tho station. Providentially, a few young
shoots of corn were found to be springing up
about tho station, and dried skull Of buffalo
had boon thrown aside. They caught from
twenty to thirty grasshoppers every morning
while the dew was still on the grass, until they
became too faint to procure this scanty supply
of food, which they had to husband, in order
to make a stew Of grasshopper, buffalo hide
and young n-stalks, in a small tin-cup, to
eat at night, to promote sleep and prevent
delirium. Thus they sustained life until they
obtained the cupful Of tea, (about quarter Of
pound,) two loaves of bread and pound OF
two of bacon, left by the Sergeant. When
found by Mr.. Griffin, they were too debilitated
to DO immediately moved. He accordingly left
private Machler to take care Of them, and wen
on another days ride to repair his wagon
which had been broken at the camp at Prairie
Dog Creek. ..-.... .'..-........

Disease of the Isabella.

failure of the grape crop annoys our citi-
zens almost as much as general potato rot
would, for the reason that almost all house,
holders train vine in their roar yard upon
which, in the various oGiployments Of pruning
tho sticks, trimming the side-shoots, crushing
tho caterpillars and fumigating the insects that
infost it, they spend great many happy hours
Of the growing season, and hang about their
vine rich clusters of homely pleasure. The
vine pays for itself, though there should be
nevor an edible atom of fruit forthcoming.
When the purple clusters do ripen fair and
plump, silver would scarcely outweigh their
value in the eyes Of those who have watched
the growth Of every leaf, the twining Of each
tendril and shading Of each grape. The vines
of New York and Brooklyn generally escaped
tho frosts of June, which, in many parts Of tho
State, and Of Michigan, Ohio and the North
west, cut off all prospects Of crop. Butthere
is no denying that the Isabella, which for its
hardness has long been favorite in these
parts, is diseased. ..
Some young vines in well-sheltered cor
ners have even this year produced hand
somely, but as general thing, tho lower
leaves have turned brown and are falling
prematurely, leaving the clusters to ripen
unevenly, or not at all. Close pruning, upon
which this effect was charged by many last
year, is not the cause; for those which have
been allowed to run riot in luxuriance Of
foliage present no more promising appear
ance than those which were most unsparingly
trimmed back. At the last meeting of the
Farmers Club the subject was talked over,
and in strains that made the owners Of o
house, lot and grapevine feel decidedly mel.
ancholy. But they who sit under their OWE
vine, better still rejoice in its shades, and by
no means be tempted to root out their Isa
belas for the present. No one pretends tt
say whether the disease may not be tenn
porary ailment, for which it will recover il
another year. At the worst q tolsrable crol
can be raised with care, and no other specie
of vine promises to do enough better to justif,
its hasty adoption in place of our tried fa

G3-The celebrated physiologist, Magendie,
says that medicine is a great humbug. Lie
knows nothing about it and knows of nobody
who does. He says that when he was physi-
clan at tho Hotel Dieu, 5000 to 1900 patients
passed through his hands every year. These
he divided into classes. With the first he fol-
lowed the regular dispensary practice; to tho
other he gave bread pills and colored water.
Sometimes he created a third division, to whom
he gave nothing all, and though they frettod,
could not get medicine, they always got wcll.
There was little mortality among those who
had the bread pills and oolored water, and the
mortality was always greatest among those
carefully drugged according to the dispensary.
A hard dose this to those who take comfort in
being killed according to scientific principles.

nounce the arrival in that city of one of the
favorite Sultanas of Abdul Medjid, and a mu-
scian, with whom she eloped. The Sultana
has the odd namo of Sarsafras. She is young
and beautiful Circassian, who lately was in
the harem OF the Sultan. She was much
priced, and was covered with presents. As she
had charming voice, she took singing lessons
from director Of the music Of the palace, an
italian named Guatelli. One day, when out
driving, she entered house leading to the
Bosphorus and disappeared with the musician,
not forgetting the diamonds and other riches
which she possessed through the munifcencs
