ANTIQUE SPECIMENS OF DESIGN IN GAUL.

ANTIQUE SPECIMENS OF DESIGN IN GAuL.--
In cave on the banks of the river Oharente,
in France, in the department of Vienne, NJ.
Jolly has discovered conglomerate of a re-
cent geological formation, which contains
among pebbles and natural cement which
compose it, a considerable quantity of objects
worked by the hand of man, in flint or in
bone, such as knives and arrow-heads. On
a fragment of polished bone, broken out of
the mass, he has found designs of two quad
Iupeds in profile; they appear to be deer.
This is certainly the most ancient specimen
judge by the very crude nature of the in
struments found In the same place, and by
the absence of metal in any form in the con-
glomerate, il may be attributed to the very
first age of civilization. All these speci-
mems have been deposited in the Museum at
Cluny. tF.. 'r'#W -r ~ w

EXTRAORDINARY FUNERAL CUSTOMS IN
BRAzIL.-When person dies in Rio the
front entrance of the house is closed-the
only occasion when such thing happens.
The law requires the body to be buried in
twenty -four hours. If the deceased was
married, festoon of black cloth and gold is
hung over the street door; for unmarried,
lilac and black; for children, white or blue. or
gold. Collins for the married are also black.
but for young persons they are red, scarlet,
or blue. Fond Of dress while living, the
Brazilians are buried in their best, and.
punctilious to the last degree, they enforce
etiquette after death.
Formerly it was the custom in Rio, and
still is 80 in the interior, to carry Young
corpses Upright in procession through the
streets, when, bit for the closed ewes, a
stranger could hardly believe the figure
before him, with painted cheeks, hair blow
ing in the wind, in silk stocking and shoes,
and his raiment sparkling with Jewels,
grasping palm-branch in one hand, and
resting the other quite naturally on some
artificial support, could be dead child.
Large sums are occasionally expended in
dresses and jewels for the dead. Mourning
is long affair, and widows never lay aside
their weeds unless they marry; yet clusters
of small purple flower are known as
widows tears" They bloom but once a
year, and soon dry up. @

Blondin's Last and Greatest Feat at
Niagara = His Terrific Rope-w Walking
Across the Abyss on stills.
On Saturday Blondin walked on the rope
stretched across the Niagara River on stills,
for the benefit of the Prince of Wales, who
desired him in vain not to do so. The Buff
falo IN. " Commercial gives this account Of
the thrilling feat;
All were waiting and looking eagerly for
the last and greatest act of the day S perform-
ances-the stilt-walking. We think that all
| who witnessed this feat will agree with us
in pronouncing it one of the most terrible
and daring ever attempted by mortal man.
Many who were there to see would frequently
turn their eyes from him during his passage.
! fearful lest, as they gazed, the intrepid man
might miss his precarious footing. and be
precipitated into the seethng abyss.
The stills are slenderly made, are about
two feet in hight-the bottoms having three
iron prongs resembling a trident in shane
the wooden portion being covered with silver
leaf. An incident occurred when Blondin
was a short distance from the American
shore, which produced thrill of horror in
| the breasts of all who witnessed it. Il was
not generally understood that, in the passage
over he was to make three leaps on his stills
The first time he attempted it, the center
ana longer prong in the bottom of the stills
caught against one of the guys, tripping him
slightly. All held their breath in horror for
an instant, thinking he had fallen. But the
daring and self-possessed performer lighted
safely astride the cable, and looked toward
either shore as if nothing had happened, In
coming suddenly and violently upon the
rope his balancing pole-as before stated a
very heavy one-was cracked and strained
so that he dare not attempt repetition of
the leap lest it should be broken
The task of rega'ning his standing posi-
tion on the rope with the stills on, was seem
ingly most difficult one, and MANY ex-
| pressed doubt as to the success of the at
tempt. But with him, as with the cunning
old Cardinal, there seems to be no such
word as fail, and after two or three trials
the difficulty was overcome. AS be pro-
ceeded, step by step, the spectators gained
confidence, and those who had expressed
doubt and apprehension, breathed freer as
he approached the termination of his voy-
age.
When safely on terra .tfrna, shout of ex-
ultation went up followed by cheers and
clapping of hands; and again he was greeted
by the Prince and the Duke of New Castle,
and others of the party, the former express
ing to Mr.. Blondin, in French; his astonish-
ment and delight at the unparalleled feats.
The Prince, the Duke, and others, took the
stills in their hand and examined them. re-
peating at the same time their encomiums
upon the professors skill and daring.

reward and enemies to punish; man who is
not the tool of any clique, but who has jadg-
ment to know the right, independence to pursue
it, aud energy enough to rely upon the people

With such sentiment ruling the party
action, and such man as its candidate, the
conservative elements of the country will at
once avail themselves Of the democratic orrani-
cation and drill to check and break up the CON-
bination of fanatics and broken down politicians
which, in its ruthless pursuit of power, would

democratic politicians will soon fnd them

organization reduced to mere skeleton, whose

power Of public plumber to keep it even 10

the hope that common sense and the feeling of
common danger, will induce the Charleston
Convention to adopta heightened conservatism,
and nominate candidate whose name shall be

union. If 1t does not do this, if 1t persists in

country look to the Baltimore Convention, aud
