A FR1AN DEMoNsrRArIoN.-Las night q
ssrenads wss made at the Metropolitan Hotel in
eomplimsnt Of President Roberts, Of the Rsuisn
brotherhood. Mr.. Roberts responded In terms Of
bitterness toward Great Britain, and Of mild as.
perity toward the American Government. II wa,
evident from his remarks that he did not like the
course taken BY Gen. Grant in enforcing the nsu.
tralty laws or the subsequent proclamation Of the
President on that subject.
Mr. Hagssrty was next introduced, and he
talked eloqusn,y against British oppression Of Ire.
land and limited that II Generals Grant, Meade and
Barry had not interfsred to enforce the neutrality
laws. John Bull would have been knocked out oil
time.
Mr.. Haggerty introduced Mr.. woodmsn, Of Bos.
ton, as Fenian, and Mr.. W., after few remarks,
called out Hon. Green Clay Smith, who made an
eloquent speech In favor of freedom everywhere and
promised to make, on some proper vcoasiOn, %,
speech to the "Finnegans.n
Hon. Mr.. vau Horn was the next speaker. and,
We believe, others followed Cheers were given fol

The Perils.of Rope Walking.

In San Francisco, on the 18th ult.,
Miss Rosa Celeste, the well-known
funambulist, or rope-walker, was ad-
vertised to wheel barrow with man
named Kennovan (the pedestrian) in
it, along cable stretched from a high
platform to the top of the pavilion.
1t appears that when the time came
for performing the feat, it was found
that Kennovan was distrustful Of Miss
Cclcsto's ability to wheel him across
in safety, and had been nerving him
self with liquor. Miss Celeste declin-
cd to undertake the feat with a tim
id man but as the audience, miscon-
structing her action, jeered for her
want of courage, she was stung into
the imprudence ofattempting it. BE.
fore Miss Celeste had gone ten feet
from the platform, and when she was
twenty-five feet from the ground, her
companion in the barrow changed. his
position. BY the aid of the balanc-
ing pole che had nearly recovered to
her equilibrium, and again essayed
to go on when the foolish man NOV
cd second time, and Celeste, Ken
novan, and the barrow came to the
earth. Kennovan was undermost,
and, besides bruises from the fall, he
was terribly mangled by the iron
work of the barrow, which tore hil
ear from the socket, and lascerateC
tho muscles of his neck. Celeste
hung to her pole, and one end Off
striking the ground, broke her fal
before it snapped, and she struck or
her elbow, breaking it.
