plondin,. Great Feat.

B1oSpIN AT THE FALLs.-Next TO
Louis Napoleon, Blondin is confessediy
the most wonderful Of Frenchmen. Al
the Falls, yesterday, he performed all he
promised, and more. Between four and
i've O'Clock, he crossed the rope for the
fourth time. He was dressed in Indian
costume. His journey 10 the Canada side
was not marked by any feat of peculiar
daring. He went over on a trot, merely
hating for an instant TO balance himself.
His homeward trip, however, completely
eclipsed his previous feats. When about
one-quarter Of the way across, be stood
on his head, holding the balance pole in
his hands. A little further along he laid
down on his back, with apparent COM
posure. When near the center of the
rope he tied his balance pole TO the guy
rope, and navigated by means of his hands
and feet, his body being in state Of sus-
pended animation beneath. After pro-
ceeding some distance in this way, he as
sumed perpendicular position and 70
turned for the balance pole, and then
walked on. Another feat which he per-
formed was turning sort of handspring
Lying down on his back he extended the
balance pole the length of his arms, anc
then threw his body over the pole, strik
ing astride the rope. Without the pole
he hung by one leg from the rope, anc
supported himself by one arm. During
bis passage he stood on his head severa
times, and performed variety Of feat'
which we have not time TO re-capitulate
The number of persons present wa
greater than at any previous exhibition
We understand that Bondin will give an
other exhibition on the 18th inst, whel
his programme will be varied.

played out, and flour which had sudden

Railroad travel ON the Sabbath un-

BY a decision Of the Supreme Court
at Philadelphia, on the 22d ult., travel

Why should persons be allowed to travel

the week. If il is designed as a day Of
rest, travelling on business or pleasure is
certainly improper, and, as we view it,
morally wrong. The command that en-
Joins cessation from labor on the Sabbath,
enjoins equally that the six days preced-
ing, should be employed in doing call
our work and the physical and mental
constitutions of man require rest and ces-

always bent eventually loses its elasticity
and becomes comparatively worthless
SO to enjoy a healthy mind in healthy
body, nature requires relaxation, and the
God of nature has wisely instituted one
day in seven for that purpose. And
hence we look upon those laws that re-
quire cessation from labor and travel on
tie Sabbath as extremely salutary in Their
application, and as such, they should, by
all means, be enforced by the executives
of our laws.

draft, rs in Prussia, where every person is
required to take his turn asa soldier
Mr.. LIE CLERIC did not call the atten-
ton Of the Secretary specifically to the
question, as the above shows conclusively.
We take another extract TO show the
hypocrisy of the Clarion in selecting par
ticulsr paragraphs to suit its own ends.
We insert the Clarion's selection in ital
les, it all being in the same connecticut:
"7He moment foreigner becomes
naturalized his allegiance TO his natioe
country is Severed .toreuer He expert
ences new political birth. A broad
and impossible line separates him from
his native country. He is no more res
ponsible for anything he may sag or do
after assuming his aeD character than
If he had been born inthe United States.
Should he return to bis native country he
returns rs an American citizen and in no
other character. In order to entitle his
original government to punish him for an
offence this must have been committed
whilst he was subject and owed allegi-
ance TO that government. The offence
must have been complete before his ex-
patriation. 1t must have been Of such a
character that he might have been tried
and punished for il at the moment Of his
departure" DC.
Now we look at the Clorion's manner
of selecting extracts, as above shown, un-
Just, dishonest, and beneath the dignity
of any respectable Journal. No paper in
Western Michigan is louder in its walls
upon the prevalence Of immortality than
the Clarion, and here we have an exhi-
bition of its unmanly practice, in spe-
cies of garbling that merits the indigna-
ton and censure of every good citizen in
the country. We think the subject is
generally understood through the coun'
try, and therefore have no fears for the
result, leaving our readers to judge wheth
or the Clarion or News has done mos
to bamboozle our naturalized citizens.
