The Rival Rope svaEkers--Excite-
mcnt at Niagara---Farinf and
uevnndfp,

There was, says the Rochester Union of
Thursday last, increased excitement at the
Falls yesterday. The rope walking mania
appears to have broken out anew. The an
nouncement that there were to be two exhi-
bItions, at different points of the river, drew
a large crowd. Fourteen car loads went
from Buffalo, and more than that number
! went from Hamilton, to say nothing of
great many who went up the Central, aud got
to the place by other routes. Farini made
his first essay In public at the falls, his rope
one thousand seven hundred feet long-being
across the gorge half mile or so below the
great cataract. This rope is of MANILA, two
inches in diameter, weighs four thousand five
hundred pounds, and is sustained by one hun
dred guys, in which fifty thousand feet of rope
is used. The defexion of the rope is great
no: less than eighty feet, but, owing to its
great length, is gradual. Farini marched
down from the grove on the American side
to the tune Of band of music.
He carried balancing pole of unusual
length, which soon became entangled in the
guys aud gave him great deal of trouble
This accident led many to fear that he would
not safely accomplish his feats. Many pre-
dicted and openly declared that he would fall
from the rope. His GOODNESS restored conf
dence to the crowd. He went over the rope
and performed various feats in his progress.
such as standing upon his head, hanging BY
his hands, by one arm at the elbow. &c. He
spent half an hour in crossing to the Canada
side, where he was received with cheers. Af
ter spending a little time at the Clifton House
IN taking refreshments, Farini returned to
bis rope aud proceeded quickly to the middle
oe the river
The steamer Maid of the Mist had been
lying below for some time, awaiting the COM
ing of Farini. She steamed up to point
right under the Signor, aud he dropped a
line on board. by which he drew up a large
rope. This made fast to the main line down
he went, nearly hundred feet, to the deck
of the steamer, sliding by his hands, feet fore
most. After receiving the congratulations of
the large crowd on the steamer. ne slowly as
cended by his rope to the point from which
he had descended. He climbed up slowly
but without difficulty, and then went to the
American shore. dancing as he proceeded
over the rope. Although Farini did not de-
scend to the steamer head-foremost, he did
all else promised, and :he audiance appeared
to be as well satisfied as though he had bro
ken his neck for their amusement.
Blondin appeared at six o'clock upon bis
rope below the Suspension Bridge, aud per-
formed many of his most daring feats. He
was stimulated to e1ertion by the presence of
his rival, who had just made such success
full exhibition up the river. The paying au-
diences were not very large, as many prefer
red to take outside positions to paying any
thing to the performers.

Are Weemen Naturally Polite,

Mrs. Wyllys asks that question, and ther
elaborately answers 1t herself, thus:
Are women naturally polite. did you ask,
dear, good Public!
Did you ever know a woman to make room
in an omnibus, five on side, when Number
Six was entering, founced and velveted, un-
til ordered by the driver?
Did you ever know little pair of gaitel
boots to turn one inch either to the right oil
left when they could have saved you from a
streaming butter by the operationl Patent
feathers don't behave so-n0t they!
Did YOU ever know a woman to say, al
am sorry to have given SO much trouble, .
when the dry goods clerk had turned things
topsy turvy, without finding the shade or col
or that never existed!
Did you ever know woman who did not
know it was Outrageous for another woman
to travel with baby, or who didn't regard 1t
as s'c-uel and barbareous," if any one object
ed to the crying of her baby!
Did you ever know two women to talk over
a third without ridiculing her, even If she was
her .'dear particular friend?"
Did YOU ever praise one young lady in the
presence of another, without being coniden-
tally told of some enormous fault or deformi-
ty in the former which you hadn't dreamed
of?
Did Won ever tell your wife what beautl-
full new dress your neIghbor had got without
learning that sit was only that dowdy old
silk dyed over?"
Did YOU ever know pretty woman to
make an impression without half dozen 9TH
er pretty women running the effect OF It the
instant she left the room?
Did you ever know a woman to apologize
for having Knocked another woman bonnet
into .'pi'' CHATS printerism, but expressive,
Notwithstanding with the corner OF her par
asol?
Did YOU ever hear of a woman who had an
idea that she was making trouble by her little
airs and grace?
We don't believe you ever did, reader
They are race of unaccountables, the wo-
men, Just as sweet and piquant as june roses,
sometimes, and then again, brlstllng Ike SO

There's one thing we nerer ceased to be in
wardly thankful for-that we're not man,
and consequently not obliged to marry one of
'em Why she would drive US crazy In
week, with her whims aud fancies, her exac-
tions and her petish ways. We would make
the most heDpecked husband in the world,
unless. indeed, we had the nerve to run away

until she promised to behave better. When

Rich Story.

A good story has recently been told of a
characteristic trick performed upon his sister,
the Princess Amelia by that "hard case" the
rogue Duke of Cumberland.
His sister one day took him to tack, ar
raigned his disspated conduct, and said she
never would he instrumental to it. He as
sured her that the money he then solicited he
wanted to complete an improvement in Wind
sor Park, wnere it was well laid out IN en-
ployinS the surrounding poor; and to convince
her of the truth of this statement he proposed
to take her down to inspect the works. He
lad at that time nearly five hundred men
digging canal. She went to the lodge, aud
he drove her around the Park in a one horse
onaise, aud had SO contrived it with the man.
ager that as she passed from one place to
another, the same set of men, as in theater,
removed to another spot, which, when she
was brought to them were seen planting trees;
at another, five hundred men, (the same)
were found grubbing hedges.
''Well, brother" said she, 81 had no con-
ception of this. You must employ near two
thousand people,"
"True," said the noble duke, "and if I
were to take you to the other side of the park.
1 could show you as many more"
1T is not necessary" said the princess
al am satisfied that your money is better ex-
pended than had apprehended.
And the unsuspecting princess lent him the
f10, 900, he wanted.

The Necessity of Labor.

The notion is false that genius can secure
its aims without labor All the great minds
who have left their marks upon the history of
the worlds progress. have paid for their sue
cess and notoriety by the price of unremittIng
toll and labor.
Napoleon Bonap.rte worked hard and in-
cessantly, and has been known to exhaust the
energies of several secretaries at one time.
Charles XII of Sweden, frequently tired
all his officers
The Duke of Wellington was the hardest
working man in the Peninsula; his energies
never tagged.
Milton. from his youth, applied himself
with such indefetigable application to the stu
dy of letters that it occaSioned weakness Of
sight and ultimate blindness.
The labor of Sir Walter Scott is evident in
the number of his literary productions. and it
masses of general information which abound
throughout his multitudinous works could on
ly have been acquired by dint of many years
hard study.
Byron was in the habit of reading even at
his meals.
Luther made it rule to translate q verse
of the Bible every day. This soon brought
him to the completion of his labors, and it was
matter of astonishmeht to Europe, that in
the multiplicity of his other labors, besides
travelling, he could find the time to prepare
such a surprising work.
Newton ahd Locke pursued their studies
with tireless efforts, and Pope sought retire
ment so that he might pursue his literary OPP
erations without interruption aud distraction.
Industry is essential to all; by forming the
habit of doing something useful every day, a
man increases his own amount of happiness
and enlarges that Of others about him.
Many one, by judicious use of the odd
moments, those little vacancies in every day
life which occur to all, have rendered them
selves famous among their fellows
Nature is preserved in its proper working
condition by constant exertion, and man, to
keep healthful condition of mind and body,
must exert his mental and physical faculties;
the constant employment of the first will give
the strength of character. SO that it is capable
of thinking on any subject at any time, and
by active bodily exertion he preserves his
health, fortune and worldly position.
The Marquis of Spinola once asked Sir
Horace We're ''of what his brother died?'
HE died, sir, of having nothing to do

Rules for Health,

Never 60 to bed with your feet sticking out
of the window, particularly when it is raining
or freezing.
More than three pigs feet and a half mince
pie eaten at midnight, will generally cause
the consumer to dream of houris, paradise,
accommodating bankers, and other good
things; at least they are not apt to do so.
Never stand in the rain barrel all night
1t checks perspiratiOn, and spoils rain-water
for washing purposes.
Never spank your children with hand
saw, or box their ears with the sharp edge of
hatchet, as it is apt to affect the brain.
To enlarge the muscles of the arms and
legs, climbing up and down the chimney (es-
pecially if the house is a four storied one)
three or four times before breakfast, is a cheap
exercise, and gives veracious appstIte.
Ear-ache In children is a common and vex-
atious complaint To cure it at once, bore a
hole in the tympanum with gimlet, and
pour in oil and things. If the child keeps on
crying bore it all the way to the other ear
Corns may be easily cured The most tor
turing corn can at once be e1tirpated as fol-
lows-Take a sharp knife, and find the joint
of the toe whereupon the corn resides; insert
the knife in the articulation, pry off the toe
and throw it away. 1t will never return
again, unless your dog brings it back to you
in his mouth. (Pateut applied for
The habit of drinking can be cured by
giving the drinkers all the liquor they want
to drink all the time. We know of two in
our own experience who were cured in three
weeks. One jumped out of a fourth story
window and ran a curbstone into his head
The other dIdn's get up one morning. and has
now a universal curbstone growing over his
head in the graveyard.

"A good story is related of conductor on
one of the railroads centerlng 10 certain vii
lage, who was a strict church man, and was
always found promptly in his church on the
Sabbath. On Saturday evening his train was
in very late, and he did not take his custom
airy amount of sleep-which, however did not
prevent him of attending divine service as
usual. During the sermon he unwittingly
fell into troubled sleep, sOOthed By the mo-
notonous voice of the clergyman. All at once
he sprang from his seat, thrust his hand un
der his arm, and giving his neighbor in front
push, shouted: .'Ticket sirr' The startled
neighbor also sprang to his feet, which thor
oughly aroused the conductor who looking
wildly around. and seeing all eyes turned
towards him, instantly comprehended his po-
sition, and ''slid'' amid suppressed litter
