SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE-We learn
from Washington that more extensive and
efficient measures have been initiated by the
Administrator for the suppression of the Slave
trade. The squadron on the African Coast is
to be materially augmented, aud among the
vessels to be sent there are to be several small
steamers suitable for navigating waters too
shallow for those ordinarily engaged in the
service There will be force of one hundred
and sixteen guss on the Slave coast, which is
double the number required under the treaties
of Great Britain An efficient naval force is
also to be maintained on our own Coast, for
the purpose of capturing any savers which may
succeed in euding the vigilance of the vessels
of the African squadron.

Blondin Crosses the Niagara River With
a Cook Stove, and Cooks an 0melet.

The crowd gathered at the Falls, Thursday,
to- witness another of BlOndin's performances
upon the rope, although large, and numbering
many thousands, was somewhat tbe smallest
we should say that has yet been collected, and
hardly more than two-thirdS "a great as that
of the last occasion. Bondns performance
would have been accounted in the outset of
these exhibitions marvellous one, but after
the great, over>hadowing, aud unSHrpassabe
feat of last week it could not seem very as
tonishng nor produce any very thrilling de-
gree of interest in the minds of the spectators
1t was more of a curious and laughable spectacle
than an exciting one, and might be by many
preferred to the terribly great performance of
last "Wednesday.
Blondin first crossed from the American 10
the Canadian shore in manaces-a collar about
his neck, a chain pendant from his arms, and
two others from his wrists aud ankles The
fetterS were not very weighty and could not
have materially interfered with his performan-
ceS, or added very greatly to the fatigue of The
journey. During the passage, he performed
most Of the feats previously exhibited-stand-
ing upon his head, hanging beneath the rope,
| swinging his body under it backward, sustain
ed by the arms with the elbows bent, &c-aN
difficult and daring in the extreme, but by
| Blondin himself made commonplace and simple
The return performance was the most interest
ing.
After a stay of fifteen or twenty minutes up
on the Canadian shore he started back with
cook stove swung npon his back. the culinary
appurtenances thereto consisting of saucepan,
Iadle, Sundry dishes, and a pair of bellows,
securely fastened upon the stove. 1t must not
be imagined that the stove he bore upon his
back was fulSized cast iron Victor" neither
must it be fancied a miniature affair-a disguis-
ed spirit-lamp chatting dish 1t was a goodly-
sized, properly fashioned cooking stove, made
of Russia sheet iron, and boaSIing of a smoke
pipe about two feet in height Arrived at the
centre of the rope, Boldin secured bis pole and
proceeded with nonchaIance to make prepara-
| tons for camping" Unslinging his stove he
placed it upon the rope before hira, sat down,
! and with some pitchy, combuStible material
built his fire, exciting it with the bellows. and
soon raising o smoke which proved the geAuin-
ness of the preparations for cooking
When proper degree of heat had been at
tanned, he prodnced his eggs, broke them into
his dish, and threw the shells into the river -
The omelet was prepared with the skill OF a
chet dc cuisine, and when it was complete he
lowered it to the deck of the Maid of the Mist
where, we doubt not, it was divided into the
smallest possible shares, and eagerly treasured
by the passengers. Gathering up his hotel"
BOndn readjuSted it upon bis back, and ouick-
ly landed himself and it upon the American
shore, amid the loud cheers of the throng.

a suspicion of exaggeration. At Denver City

AN AWFUL RETRIByTICE-Some time last

vile, Ill., for the Kansas gold regions. While
travelling through the Indian country on their
way out, one OF the company, young man Of
desperate character, from the vicinity of Gray

happily, during the day they overlook on the
prairie defenceless sqnaw when he in mere
wicked wantonness, leveled his guu and shot
her dead
His companions were horror stricken at the
bood-thirSty deed, but felt that they had 10
power to punish him. The tribe to which the
squaw belonged was not far distant when the
deed was perpetrated. They discovered her
lfeess body, and saw at once the manner Of
her death. They pursued the party of Illinois
Pixies Peakers, and in a few hours overlook

found themselves surrounded by nearly two
hundred enraged Indians. who threatened to
immediate the whole party if they did not point

own lives, they gave mp Haynes to their ven

After while the Indians returned, with their
victim literally Bayed alire. They had skinned
him from head to foot. The wretched being

had been tortured, but was soon released by
death from unspeakable sufTerings. Terrible
