From Robert Dale owens Footdlls. !
A Marina Anparitiau.

During the autumn of 1857, Mr. Daniel
M, young American gentleman, after
having travelled throughout Germany, was
returning to the United States in Bremen
packet.
One tempestuous evening his mother, Mrs.
An, residing near New York, knowing
that her son was probably then at sea, became
much alarmed for his safety and put up in
secret an earnest prayer that he might be
preserved to her.
There was residing in the same house with
her at the time, one of her neices, named
Louisa, who was in the habit of receiving
impressions of what might be called clair
voyant character. This neice had heard the
expression of her aunt's fears, but, like the
rest of the family, she was ignorant that
these fears had found expression in prayer
for her cousins safety. The day after the
tempest she had an impression so vivid and
distinct that she was induced to record it in
writing. 1t was to the effect that her aunt
had no cause to fear, seing that the object of
her anxiety was in safety, and that at the
very hour Of the previous evening when the
mother had so earnestly put up secret
prayer for him, her son, being at the time in
his state-room, had been conscious Of his
mothers presence.
This she read to her aunt the same day.
thinking it might tend to comfort her.
And then she waited with great anxiety
for her cousins return, when she might have
her doubts resolved as to the truth or false
hood of the mysterious impression regarding
him.
He arrived three weeks afterwaYd, safe and
well but during the afternoon and evening
that succeeded his arrival, no allusion what
ever was made by any one to the above cir
cumstances. When the rest of the family
retired, Louisa remained, proposing to ques-
ton him on the subject He had stepped out,
but after a few minutes he returned to the
parlor, came up to the opposite side of the table
at which she was sitting, looking agitated,
and, before she herself could prefer word,
he said, with much emotion, cousin, must
tell you a most remarkable thing that hap
pened to me-" And with that, to her astonish-
ment, he burst into tears.
She felt that the solution of her doubts was
at hand; and so it proved. He told her that
one night during the voyage, soon after he
had lain down, he saw ON one side of the
state-room opposite his birth, the appearance
of his mother. 1t was so startlingly like a
real person that he rose and approached it.
He did not, however, attempt to touch it,
being ultimately satisfied that it was an ap-
partition only. But on his return to his berth
he still saw it, for some minutes, as before.
On comparing notes, it was ascertained
that the evening on which the young man
thus saw the appearance of his mother at
sea was the same on which she had so
earnestly prayed for his safety; the very same,
too, which his cousin Louisa had designated
in writing, three weeks before, as the time
when he had seen the apparition in question
And, as nearly as they could make it out, the
hour also corresponded.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL MAN BURNT TO DEATH
IN BoNFIRE.-At Akron, in this State, on
Wednesday night, in celebration of the
Fourth, bonfire was made at the corner of
Market and Howard-streets. A young man
named Samuel O'Neil, carrying barrel to
the pile (which was already blazing with tar
barrels and pine-boxes) by accident, fell
headlong into the flames. He was, for sec
onds not counted, in the midst of the fire,
and came out crawling on his hands and
knees, with not shred of raiment on him.
"Kill me p he shrieked, "For Gods sake kill
me. Cut my throat-anything-- kill
me-" After all effort, that medical or surgi-
died the next morning, after suffering physi-
caldistress unspeakable.

BIoudin's Fourth of July Performances at
Niagara.

The Buffalo IN. W Courier says of Blon-
din's performances at the Falls on the Fourth
T. The assemblage from all quarters was
large, the ipclosure on the American side
being well filled, while the bridge held one
thousand spectators, its full compliment.
Between four and five o'clock Mr.. Blondin
made his appearances on the American side Of
the rope, dressed in his usual costume. Mid
way between the shores he hung slack-rope
some twenty feet below the main cable, and
on this he performed a series of the most
thrilling aud extraordinary feats-hanging
by his heels, head toward the abyss, whirling
wheel-like in the air, and doing many other
things equally impossible to any other than
the champion of the rope. Having reached
the Canada shore, and rested fora time, he
reappeared upon the rope, this time in the
character of "Jocko," the ape, and propelling
a wheel-barrow before him. He reached this
side safely, ofcourse, and was warmly greeted
on his arrival by the spectators. This was
one of Mr.. Blondins most successful exhi-
billions, and seemed to afford general salts

The ORIGIN OF THE Word TARIFF.-At a
southern point of Spain, running out into
the Straits of Gibralter, is a promontory,
which, from its position, commands the en-
trance to the Mediterranean. A fortress
stands upon this promontoTy, called now, as
in the times of Moorish domination, Tarifa
1t was the custom of the Moors to watch mer-
chant ships going into or coming out of the
midland sea, and Issuing from their strong
hold to levy duty, according to fixed scale,
on all merchandise. This duty was called,
from the place where it was levied, tarifa;
hence our word "tarif"
