Arriving at point on the Pralrles about
200 miles from the Indian lines, the party
bivouacked for the night, picketed their
horses, and slept on their arms. The
method Of Picketing the horses was that
in common use-lastening huge rope
some 80 feet in length 10 a stake firmly

considerable length, one end attached 10

The wives of Presidential Candidates.
Ii is an interesting fact in connection
with the several candidates for the ffesl-
dency that they all have Southern wives.
Lincoln married lady OF Lexington,
Ky, where his opponent, Brecklnridge,
was born and married MIR. Bells vile
is, we believe, also a native OF kentucEy;
and Mr.. Douglas married a native OF
Maryland-his first wile was a native OF
North Carolina. 1t is credilabIe fact IN
the histories of these several candidates
which will go far to redeem the errors and
shortcomings Of some Of them, that they
should come TO the South for their wives.
Doubtless their success and prominence
have been as much due TO their wives as
10 themselves. Southern ladies far sur
mass others in the quality Of winning
friends for their husbands and in promo
ting their advancement in popular favor.
They are more thoroughly ldenItled with
their husbands, guard their interests with
more devoted zeal, and cultivate In a
larger degree those gentle and captivating
traits which often extend shield over a
public man, protecting hlm from violent
assaults and at the same time aHoldng
him a solace for the anuoyances and dis
gusts of his position.
We had almost forgotten to add that
Gen. Houston, who is also candidate
for the Presidency, is married to South
ern lady, and furnishes in his own case
s,Iord;I illustration of the influences Of a
devoted wife. The excesses and dissipa'
ton which threatened a, one time TO make
a miserable wreck Of this remarkably glf-
ted man no longer stain his character and
disgrace his position.
Whichever of these candidates shall
win the position to which he asPires, ii is
a consolation TO know that IN the Presl-
Dental mansion the manners, the tastes
and, we hope the sentiments which char
acterize our Southern society, vii! pre-

TIE HOUR OF PARTING.

Is this the hour of parting,
With those we love so well ?
And must our full hearts utter
The last, sad word, farewell ?
Many happy day we've passed,
Sporting with our friends so dear,
Little thinking that the hour
OF parting vas so near.
We 90 to happy places,
TO verdanI fields so gay,
To woods aud shining rivers,
Where glancing sunbeams play,
Yet we think upon The days
OF whose Joys we scarce can tell,
And our hearts refuse to speak,
The sad ming word, farewell.
Yet part we not forever
We hope TO meet again,
And closer join together
Each link Of friendships chain
Then our parting need not sound
I'.oour brotherhood kneIl,
But with hope and love we may
Speak the word farewell.

The Rope-Walkers at Niagara Falls

Extraordinary FeatS.-During the
past week they have had two rival rope
walkers at Nagara-NIons. Blondin and
Mons. Farini. The Buffalo Republican
has the following account of their daring
feats:
On Wednesday, at 5 P. NJ, Blondin
started from the American side on arun,
and when near the middle of the rope he
cooIly sat down upon il. and having Ias-
ened his balance pole to the guys, he
went through some Of his intrepid perior-
mances, standing upon his head, laying
down upon the rope, passing hand over
hard, foot over foot, &C., after which he
returned on quick run TO the American
side, " here he was greeted with cheers
that reverberaled above the sound Of the
rushing water below. After having his
feet encountered with peach baskets, and
being chained from head TO foot he agaln
started for the Canada side. Having
reached the centre of The rope he again
stood on his head, and elevated the peach
baskets between heaven and earth-or
rather, the rapids beneath. After little
delay, Blondln, altIred as French cook,
made his appearance, and after having a
cook stove strapped 10 his back, balance
pole in Land, he started on his return 10
The United States; having reached the
centre of his cobweb he sat down, and
unstrapped his stove, made fire, and
proceeded TO cook an omele;te, after doing
which, and picking up his cooking uten-
sls, he proceeded on his journey and
landed in safety.
FarIn has stretched his rope and built
his enclosures few rods from the Gaia
ract House, just below the Gas works, on
each side OF lhe river.
Fsrini appeared at the American end of
his rope al 4 o'clock, p. NJ, on Wednes-
day. He is a man of about 80 years of
age, apparently not very athletic. His
pole was about thirty feet long, tipped al
the ends with metal, and SO slender that
II bent in the form of a bow when he lift
ed il. On his feet were India rubber
,hoes, and on his hands lilac kid gloves.
AS he stepped upon the rope, II beceme
evident lhal it be crossed The rope he
would DO i. a, fearful risk. His step
was uncertain. and his pole bent so that
the ends were constantly IN The guys.
This necessarily made his progress very
slow. A short distance from the shore
he ashed his pole and stood on his head
and repea,ed the same feat several times
daring his transit. =, |
Abou, midway of the cable a small
rope was led down to the "Maid OF The
Mist" and pulled up. with two larger
ones attached. which being fastened to
lha cable, Farini went down on them 10
the boat, not head first. as announced, but
in The orthodox style. He returned in
the same unannounced style. He was
Iortv-eiehl minutes in crossing. Blondin
walks on the 2Olh, and on iha, occasion
will carry man on his back, from shore
