We take the following extracts from a

Gen. John A. Rawlins was born III Ga.

years In his infancy hiSparcnts removed

Guiliord, where his father followed the
humble occupation o. q charcoal burner.

The Niagara Exploit.

WE cannot agree with the denuncia.
tons heaped upon the sagacious poll of
the philosophical Jenkins because he did
not cross the Niagara the other day on
common velocipcde, but did cross it on
bicycle, or two-whceled machine, made
for the purpose. 1t seems that jenkins
constructed the machine in accordance
with the simple philosophical principle of
getting his centre ofgravity below instead
of above the rope. This is illustrated in
our school textbooks of mechanical phi
losophy by the diagram of the model
horse, which is made to stand rearing on
his hind feet on the edge of table, with
his entire body projecting over the table,
by means of wire running from the body
of the horse, in curve line, under the
table, and holding at point far enough
behind The horse to bring the centre OF
gravity of the whole under his heels,

ance the figure. jenkins constructed his
bicycle with two wheels grooved to fit the
rope, and cogged inside, so as to grip it
firmly, and placed the saddle as low as pos
sible-within an inch or two Of the rope.
The bulk of the weight of the entire ma
chine, including himself, was then brought
below the rope by hanging an immense
balancing pole about two feet beloD the
rope The entire machine, therefore,
really hung from the cable instead of being
above it. 1t required no balancing skillto
cross on it, but merely the nerve to sit in
his saddle at a height of 200 feet over the
abyss, and steadily propel his bicycle. In
deed, it would have required several hun
dreds of pounds lifting power to have
swung the machine over above the rope,
so that the fall of the machine would have
been possible. The spectators were dis
gusted at the evident safety of what they
expected and desired to be foolhardy ef
fort at balancing. But as an experiment
in crossing difficult chasms or passing
through the air on cable, in manner
possible to any man of common nerve, the
experiment Of Jenkins is yaluaNe.-LM'

A fire broke out on the morning of the

which burned the out buildings and hoist.

escape of over 200 miners at work below.

debris which fell into the shaft, and at 10
o'clock at night two men descended, who
persisted while endeavoring to open gang

seconded afterward, were driven back by
