Jury Of Inquest on the Pemberton Mill calamity,
at Lawrence Mass have rendered their verdict
which is quite lengthy, embracing a careful re-
view of the testimony. The Jury find that from
all the evidence adduced before them they do not
believe that the owners of said Mill at the time
Of the demolition, ever had reason to distrust its
security The jury further find that the fire, orig
mated after the fall Of the Mill was caused by the
accidental breaking Of d lantern i'm the hands Of
soliIC person to them unknown, and at the time ac-
tuaily engaged in aiding. assisting and rescuinc
the sufferers then alive and beneath the flooring Of
the Mill.
Upon all Of which several findings the Jury de-
terlne and say, that the direct Of tie fall of
this mill was the wea kness and insufti ciepcy of
the cas-iron Snoring. That in the thinne IS Of the
prick walls and their manner Of construction, the
length OF space from one support to another be-
meath tue floor timber, We're additional causes
ana aided in the general demolition of the build
inSs That so far as actual defects in tie cast
iron pillars existed. the responsibility rests upon
Albert uller the former contracting agent and
foreman of the Eagle Iron Foundry, then at West
Boston. That upon Charles l.. fjigelow being
the architect ds well as the superintendent of the
structure rests all the RESPONSE blity arising from
an insufficient test OF said pillar and from any
eveiy aelect, weakness and insecurity apparent
IN ana about the general construction OF said
building. That the walls were laid under his
supervision. That the timbers and flooring were
IN every respect constructed and located as be ORR
ginally designed. That the inner supports Of
cast-lron, previous to erection, had his approval
ana were by him adopted as in all parts safe and
secure. That such inspection as he required was
given to the iron pillars, ard that any want of
Skill In designing by error OF Judgment in ap-
proving or adopting any want of due care and
caution lin properly testing the different parts Of
the structure on his part appearing to that extent
rendered him responsib BILE for the dreful catastro

TAe Power Of the West.

rive have heard that Mr.. douglas says that
the roxt President is to come from illinois,
II will not be the faultof the Republicans if
this prediction is not fulfilled Whether dc.
signctily Or not, the Chicago Convention have
recognized the increasing political power Of
the West. ltis very evident TINT the tihie
is rapidly approaching when the people OF
the West will have the chief voice in saying
who shall be our Presidents, even II they do
not always take them from their own mum.
bcr. Unloss we receive large accession Of
Southern territory, the upper half Of the
Mississippi valley will control the House Of
Representatives before the close Of the pres.
ent century. The ideas that are acceptable
to that section Of the country will shape tho
policy OF our government. Tho East will
continue to retain its asccndency in skilled
labor and intellectual culture, but the West
will have the dominant power in making OUT
laws. n 81
There may have been, probably was, nd
formal or intended recognition Of this ten.
dency Of power to the West in the action OF
the Republican Convention. But we are not
sorry that their choice finally fell upon ono
who represents and in some sense typifics in
his career the vigor and growth Of that Sec
ton which is to be the home Of rulers OF this
land. We arc glad to believe that his hon.
esty, enterprise, love Of freedom, patriotism,
and manly force, which have won for him tho
enthusiastic affection of his own State, and
the characteristics which are to appear as
salient features Of our national charactcr,-
AS we look upon the future power or the
Free States we can have but slight fears for
tho cause of freedom. Whatever Is accebta;
bic to them, and only that, can bc embodied
in our national laws. Slavery will never go
North of its present boundaries. IL is con.
tinually retreating to the South. Its domain
is becoming narrower every decade. Wec can
afford to be patient. We need not he over
hasty. The mighty West is ours, and we
are hers, and both arc dedicated to freedom.
We will be just and generous to the South.
We will remember that her sofs are our
brothers and friends. But we will make free.

how many simple letters, from simple minded
women, have been kissed, cherished, and

It will always be to the end Of time. 1t is d
lesson worth learning by these young crea-

he may admire, no man ever loves woman,
for these things. He loves her for what is
essentially distinct from, though not incom-
patible with them her woman heart. This
is why We so often see a man of high genius
or intellectual powers pass by the De Stales

Blondin at His Old Tricks.

On Wednesday, Blondin walked over tho
Niagara Falls gorge on a tight rope. The
Buffalo CoWvieF says:
The rope is 800 feet long its detection
is go feet, and at the lowest point is two hun
dred and thirty feet from the seething "hcll
of waters" which daslies madly down tho
awful gorge Of Niagara: Blondin ran briskly
down the MANILA slope; pole in hand, for Z
few hundred feet, when he stopped shortt
threw out one foot, and stood poised above
the chasin on the other, presenting from the
opposite shore tho dimensions Of large
sized gnnt A little further on he sat down,
resting his p0le-the same one used by him
in ST. James Hall--across his knee, and hero
in the most unconccrned manner he rested,
waving his plurned cap to the spectators
In the middle of the rope he again stopped,
and this time lay down, almost disappearing
from sight, his pole, meanwhile, lying across
his breast. Up the hill again nc took his
'pcrilous way, and within o few hundred
yards of the Canadian bank he halted, struck
an attitude, and stood for minute statucsque
and motionlcss. Nothing could more com:
pletely illustrate the triumph Of human ncrvc
over the tcrrors Of nature in the widest mood.
Above the thundcrous turmoil Of the torrent
stood Monsieur, slim and diminutiye, yet
sublime in the consciousness Of his nerve and
pluck and looking fof all the world a. II he
were the presiding spirit Of the scciic. He
landed on the Canadian side In seven and q
half minutes from the time Of his start, rath-
er pale and detected, but not q whit the
worse for. the journey. He complained Of
the sun which had shone directly in his face.
About quarter of an hour aftcrward, he
drank glass of lemonade and started on his
return trip. Fifty yards out he went back
ward and sgain assumed the statuesque fose.
when Mr.. Evans, who was on hand with his
apparatus, took photograph Of the hero Of
the rope. He crossed on his return, in about
Ave minutes. And go the exhibition closed.
This is stated to bc the opening Of . Sc
rics Of much more surprising feats, which
will doubtless draw immense crowds in the
course Of the season. We understand that
