Monday afternoon, Nj. Blondip,
again crossed and recrossed the Mag
ara on his rope, in the presence OF
more than ten thousand people. He
started from Whites Pleasure Grounds
and first walked down the rope nearly
one hundred feet backward. He then
returned, took his balancing pole, and
walked to the Canada side. He pro-
posed to put on sack before leaving
the American side, but his friends
there refused to permit him to do so.
The sack was sent around to the Cana
da end Of the rope, and NJ. Blondin
put it over his head and returned with
it to the place of starting. This sack
was made of Indian blankets, with
places cut for his arms. He had no
difficulty in crossing thus blindfolded,
except that his balancing pole caught
two or three times in the guy ropes
He laid down upon the rope in the
sack, and performed some other fea.s.
The success of M. Blondin in walking
this rope seems to be established now

We notice that a number of the
badly frightened Black Republican Or
gans are attempting to get up and put
in circulation, a report that Gen.
Dodge will not consent to run for
Governor Of the State Of Iowa. Don't
let any Democrat believe this story !;
il is false, and they who wish to make
il appear true don't believe what they
intimate. There is no doubt in the
world, however, that the Republicans
would hail a declination on the part Of
Gen. Dodge with huge satisfaction
Our contemporary in this city would go
into ecstacies over it but that 10Y is
denied them. Since we have heard
the late effort at making a speech, by
Sam Kirkwood, we arc more than ever
convinced of the weakness and feeble
condition Of the Democratic ticket,
and more firmly impressed with the
great improperly Of even comparing
Gen. A. G. Dodge with Sam kirkwood.
To do so, would be to offer direct
insult to the former.
The nomination Of Gen. Dodge was
a happy one, and the idea that he
will not run is preposte,ous and will
not bear noticing. The old war horse
will soon be upon the stump id this
State.

It was "good radiance Of bad
rubbish" when Sam Kirkwood va
moosed the democratic ranks. The
Democracy Of Iowa have, in his de-
parture, subject for rejoicing; and if
there are any more "of the same sort"
in the Democratic party, we trust they
will remove instanter. The party does
not want any such kind of trash, be-
sides the opposition has no need
of such drones, ont Of which to make
its candidates. Let them 60, and may
their going forth be hailed as blessing
to the party whose principles never
change.

Tho Faith that Saves Us.

In the Highlands of Scotland there
is mountain gorge, twenty feet in
width and two hundred feet in depth.
Its perpendicular walls are bare of
vegetation, save in their crevices, in
which grow numerous wild flowers of
rare beauty. DESTROYS Of obtaining
specimens Of these mountain beauties,
some scientific tourists once offered a
Highland boy handsome gift if he
would consent to be lowered down the
cliff by rope, and would gather a
little baskettul of them. The boy
looked wistfullv at the money, for his
parents were poor; bnt when he
gazed at the yawning chasm, be shud-
dered, shrank back, and declined. But
tilial love vas strong within, and after
another glance at the gift, and at the
terrible assure, his heart grew strong,
his eyes flashed, and he said -
"I'll 60, # my father UiH hold the
rope"
And then, with unshrinking nerves,
cheek unblanched, and heart firmly
strong, he suffered his father to put
the rope about him, lower him into
that abyss, and to suspend him there
while he filled his little basket with
the coveted flowers. 1t was a daring
deed, but his faith in the love of =
fathers heart gave him courage and
power to perform it.

The IRON Crown OF CHARLEMAGNE.
The celebrated iron crown which
Austrian prudence has just locked up
in the solid and fortified city of Lom-
hardy is not SO much OF iron as its
name indicates but on the contrary,
is Of gold, and is of form which in her
aIdry is called "a baron's torse'-that
is to say, circle about three fingers
wide, encrusted with thick borders Of
different colors. but in the inside is a
real iron crown-a ring which tradi-
ton pretends has been formed out of
one of the nails which we're used in
the cross on which Christ was cruci-
fed.
This famous crown was, in the year
TIA, placed upon the head of Carlo
Msgno Charles the Great) by Pope
Adrian the First. In l452 it was re-
moved to Rome to crown Frederick
the Fourth, and in 1880 to Bolonia,
where it encirclcd the brows Of Charles
the Fifth. Lastly, in 1905, Napoleon
the First placed it on his own head,
repeating the exclamation attributed
to another monarch twelve centuries
before-"God has given it to me-wo

This historical and religious treasure
was, until the 22d of April last closed
within the frame of a thick gilt copper
cross, which was exhibited on certain

a sort of Milanese Versailles, four
leagues from the capital.
1t cannot, therefore, be seen without
much difficulty, through thick crys-
tai which encloses it in the interior of
that great cross. To see it near, a
special permit from the military gov
ernOr of Milan is necessary.
