We've enjoyed many a joke about
the long names Of the rivers aud

names are big enough to speak for
themselves, suppose we all quit

An American minister of fine de.
scriptivc power, was on one occasion
preaching about heaven, and to show
the absurdity of Emanucl Sweden
borg on tho subject, drew graphic
picture OF tho Swcdonborg heaven,
with its beautiful fields, fine houses,
COWS and pretty women and in the
midst of his glowing description, a
good old sister, carried away by the
scene, went into raptures, and OK
claimed, aGlory, glory!" The
preacher was SO disconnected that he
paused, seeming hardly to know
what TO do, till the presiding elder,
IN the stand behind him, cried out To
the ehouter, "Hold on, there, sister,
you are shouting over the wrong
heaven" ,gl~ ta gIxAM

The Great Walking Feat.

The telegraph informed us a few
days ago, that Mr.. John Davidson,
Of Quincy, succeeded in accomplish
ing the remarkable feat of walking
four days, fournights, and nine hours
"a total Of los hours-in succession
and that he then was stricken with
paralysis and died.
Mr.. Davidson was in this city yos-
terday, and we improved the occa.
sion to interview him. The PROPOSE
ton was that he should walk back
ward and forward on a board the
time above mentioned, without rest
or sleep, stopping only twenty-eight
minutes every twenty-tour hours for
medical treatment. The attempt
was at first looked upon as an I'm
possibility, and it was believed by
some that tho affair was a hoax
His trial was watched from first to
last by reliable citizens, of Quincy,
who are willing to depose that tho
attempt was an honest trial of endu-
rance, and was successful. He walk
ed the time without distress until
4:30 a. m. OF the last dayFwhen he
became Eighty and slightly stupefed.l
His trainer succeeded by Furnishing
him lightly, in railying him and re-
storing him to consciousness. At
noon he weakened and appeared to
be sinking, but was again brought
up and continued his ceaseless tramp
ing. About II o'clock Davidson ap-
peared to be giving way; his feet and
ankles were swollen and he appeared
to be entirely stupefed. He had to
be held by the arms as he walked for
fear he would sink down or STOP
The excitement in the hall from this
time to the end was intense.
The time closed at Ills, be hay.
ing walked forty-two minutes Of the
time allowed him for stoppages. He
only used six minutes of the twenty
eight allowed in the last twenty-four
hours, for fear that if he once stop
ped he would not start again. About
two minutes before the time was up,
he seized the ropes with an iron
grasp, and it was feared that he
would fail on the last minute, but
they were cut in an instant, and the
walk continued until "time" was
called, and then ensued a scene of
excitement rarely witnessed. The
was received with loud
cheers.
He was carried away unconscious,
but subsequently rallied, and when
we saw him yesterday, appeared in |
usual health. Tho muscles of his
limbs were of a character to excite |
the admiration Of gymnast, and
mis- general physique Indicated great |
endurance. lie is fairly entitled to
be dubbed the champion walkist."

With feelings OF uncommon satis-
faction, We announce TO the public
that Ottumwa has highway bridge
across the Des Moines river, which
was completed SO far as the roadway
is concerned, and thrown open to the
public this afternoon, at three
o'clock.
A large procession of teams and

is' Excursion Wagon, which was gai-
ly decorated with flags, etc. Arriv-
ing at the south end, speech was
delivered by W. J. Mitchell, Esq, re-
sponded to by the multitude in a
general hurrah. Beer and wine
flowed almost as freely as the water
beneath the bridge, and. as we 90 to
press, the bridge is crowded by the
delighted popu. ace.
Sometime last March, Lotion e.
Gray, John G. Baker, Capt, G. A.
Madison, Col. S. d. Carpenter and
Col John s. WoH-fve of our most
wealthy and public-spirited citizens
made up their minds that we have
hadtoolishnes and talk about a bridge
long enough, and SO with them to con.
clude was to act, and at once articles
ofincorporation were entered into ; a
charter procured from the Board Of
Supervisors; a contract for the iron
work was'made with q. King & Son,
the celebrated bridge builders. of
Cleveland, Ohio, TO do the iron work,
and precisely eight weeks ago TO-
day, work in procuring the timbers
was commenced by Gray, Bakor &
Co, the bridge firm, while Mr.. Long,
of Fairfield, one OF the most ener-
getic and skillfuf mechanics in the
West, assumed charge of the iron
work for Messrs. z. King & Son.
The bridge and its approaches are
all built in the most substantial and
durable manner, and the total cost
when entirely completed, will an.
proximate $4,000.
