FARINI CROssEs NIAeARA AT NIaHr VIE

FARM CROSSES NIAGARA AT NIGHT WITH
FIREwoRKs.-0f recent performance at
night by Farini, the Niagara Falls Gazette
says;
On the pole he had four handsome paper
lamps and several Roman candles. As soon
as the match had been applied 10 the hre-
works, he started on his journey with
quick and fearless pace. IL was a grand, yet
fearful spectacle. As the rapid discharges
from the candles took place, he was COM
pletely envelOped with FIRE. he had pro-
ceeded but short distance when one of the
candles exploded with report like rifle.
The concussion shook our traveller, but he
kept right on as though nothing had hap
pened. After proceeding perhaps one-fhird
the distance his fireworks were exhausted
and be had nothing but his lamps to light up
the lonesome and narrow way. He travelled
the entire length of the rope without stop

out on his return. He had no lights but
that offered by the moon, which just then
began 70 peep over into the gorge Of the
river. He walked very rapidly and soon
reached the American side, where he was

ATTEMPT TO RECOVER A TREASURE SHIP ON
THE DUToH CoAsT-$lO, 600 900 Under the
Sea.-An interesting experiment is in pro-
gress for recovering treasure from the thirty
siX-gun frigate Ltttine, which foundered off
TerSchelling, on the Dutch coast, sixty-one
years ago. The Lutine had been captured
by the British from the French, and had
been selected to convey an amount of specie,
supposed, according to some statements to
be near f2,000,000 partly for the pay of
British and Russian troops, and partly for
the assistance of Hamburg merchants. Dur
ing the past thirty or forty years various at
tempts have been made to recover the
treasure, and about f50,000 had at consider
able expense been obtained, and the wreck
ultimately sanded up, and her position was
not rediscOveTedsuntil some fishermen acci-
dentally found a portion entangled in float
ing ice. Within the last few weeks the
parties interested in conjunction with the
Committee of Lloyd's on behalf Of the rep
resentatives of the underwriters who sus-
tanned loss have resolved to employ Heinkes
diving apparatus, and the result is that an
examination has been effected, which shows
that the wreck is at present unusually free
from sand, although still buried great ex-
tent, and that hopes are still held out of the
possibility of a considerable portion of the
treasure being recovered this season. 1t is
stated, however, that prompt operations will
be necessary, as from the influence of Pc
culiar wind, the sands may at any time again
accumulate.

Farini-ThriIline Account of His Daring
Undertaking.
We have already published an account of
Sgnor Farinis performance on the rope in
crossing Niagara, but this relation places the
affair in a new light, and adds to its terrific
character:
After spending some time in fixing the
guys, he was ready for the start, and ap-
peared at the end Of the cable with his man.
The man selected to bear him company on
his perilous journey was Mr.. Rowland Nc
Mullen. He was about five feet nine or ten
inches in hight, and weighs rather over l50
pounds. This, added to the weight of the
pounds-more than barrel of flour. Ad-
iusting his burden, he started out over the
frighttul chasm. Cautiously, yet fearlessly,
he travelled, while the crowd who witnessed
him were under the most intense excitement
After proceeding short distance he expe-
rienced great difficulty from his balancing
pole catching under the guys. This, with
the lateral, swinging motion of the cable,
made the performance one of the most dan
gerous and fearful we have ever witnessed.
Whatever sensations might have pervaded
the people, the bold performers showed no
signs of fear. After proceeding short dis
tance, McMullen got down on the rope and
both sat down and rested. They soon re-
sumed their journey, however, and, for
variety, McMullen walked and rode at short
intervals. In walking he merely placed his
hands on the Signor shoulders and followed.
While both were walking it required won
derful presence of mind, as well as courage
to preserve balance. The Signor had him
self and the dissimilar motions of his COM
rade to attend to. But il was very hand
somely done. They made but few stops
until they reached the middle of the river.
Here, according to the bills, they were to
turn around and retrace their steps. While
McMullen turned round the Signor passed
under the cable and McMullen, and thus
gained the desired position.
After resting some time they started on
their return. This they accomplished with
less trouble from the guys. McMullen was
alternately on the rope and the Signor's
back. The difficult and hazardous act of
climbing upon Farini's back must be wit
| messed to be understood and appreciated.
| At times the rope swayed so badly that
| Farini was compelled to stop and stand, OF
sit down until it became steady. The whole
performance was trying to the nerves o.
spectators. AS they came to terra frmd the
crowd received them with clapping of hand;
and other manifestations of pleasure.
We have no time now to comment on this
performance as its extraordinary character
demands. Suffice it to say that it eclipse:
any thing ever before performed on a rope
over Niagara River, or any where else. We
trust Signor Farini will be satisfied with hi
hard and well-earned laurels, and never un
dertake to repeat such daring and truly
frightful performance.

FEARFUL HURRICANE DURING AN ECLIPSE.
On the day of the eclipse, and while the sun
was obscured, the town and neighborhood of
Annecy Savoy was visited by a tremen-
dous hurricane. In the town stacks of CHM
neys and parts of roofs were blown down,
and the streets covered with bricks and tiles;
and in the country trees were torn up by the
roots, and others had large branches torn off.
caused by the storm, almost turned day into
night, and in many houses it was found
necessary to have lights. Reports ofsimilar
stories reach us also from different parts of
Switzerland.

PROFESSOR LOVES TRANSATLANTIC Ex-
cURsIoN FROM PHILADELPHIA Professor
Lowe, says Tuesdays Philadelphia EUsning
Bulletin, is evidently earnest respecting his
long-talked- of attempt to cross the Atlantic
Ocean by means of balloon. His monster
aerial machine is now at the Point Breeze
Gas Works, carefully folded up on the grass,
and protected from injury by long tent.
Within few days past it has receiveda a coat
of varnish to put it in better condition. The
car and boat attached are also at the works,
and yesterday workmen were busily engaged
in preparing them for their intended jour
ney. A small pair of shears has been crested,
and the car and boat suspended from it, in
order to get them in proper "trim." The
facilities for making and delivering gas at
the Point Breeze Works are so vast that the
immense balloon can be filled in few hours.
The Professor expects to start on his arial
ocean trip tomorrow, provided the weather
is favorable. He will be accompanied by
three persons, one, Mr.. John R. Dickinson,
an experienced sailor, who was for several
years first officer of the ship TuScarora, sail
ing out of this port. Mr.. D. is good navi-
gator, and the nautical part of the expe-
dition will be under his charge. He
expresses the fullest confidence of the
success of the enterprise. The other two
persons who will go are engaged to workthe
machinery. -

A DEsPEsATR LEAP FOR FREEDoM.-A
fugitive negro, belonging to the firm Of
Peterson, Mccarthy 4 Powell, Of North
Carolina, who had been absent for seven
years, was arrested in Savannah, Georgia, a
short time ago, and placed in jail for the
offense. He was taken out of prison few
days ago by his owner, who had sent him in
the Southern Railroad cars TO Petersburg, ON
cars had arrived close to Ream's Station,
about ten miles from Petersburg, and while
they were going at rate of twenty-five
miles an hour, the reckless wretch opened
one Of the side-windows and jumped out on
the line. II was not supposed that be could
have survived the terrible fall but accounts
have been received that be was seen after
ward on the railroad.

HEAvY DAMAGES CLAIMED IN PECULIAR
CAsE.-A suit for $4,000 was docketed in
one of the St. Louis courts, few days since,
which will prove interesting. This suit is
brought to test the legal right of the Mayor
to commit child to the House of Refuge,
who has parents living in the city at tue
time, but who, in the opinion of the Mayor,
are not suitable persons to have charge of
the child. Several writs of hdbeds corpus
have been tried, and this action is now
brought for the alleged false and malicious
imprisonment of the child, who is scarce
nine years of age.

MORE RUMoRED SKRvILE CoNsPIRAcIEs-
Rumors of negro instructions in the South
are getting to be quite common nowadays;
so much so, indeed, that scarcely any thing
is thought of them. The Savannah (Ga1
Republican sententiously says; "a rumor of
servile insurrection was sfted to the bottom,
in Rome, and it was found that discharged
convict had passed broken bank-bill on one
negro, and held private conversation with
another. Apprehensions were quieted, and
the convict had half his head shaved, and, on
the receipt of thirty-nine lashes, was ban
ishedp
