An Attempt to Swim the English Channel

II The English sporting world has been
greatly interested by q wager, OF $4,000
against $3.50, that j. b. johnson, the
''hero of London Bridge and champion
swimmer of the world" could not swim
the English Channel, from Dover, Eng
land to Calais shore, France, distance 10
miles. But owing to the strong tidal cur
rents in the channel the actual swim
ming distance was estimated at between
forty and fifty miles.
johnson is described as twenty-four
years Of age, of medium hight, and one
of the finest built men it is possible to
see. He measures forty-live inches round
the chest, and at will can initiate it to
about five more his muscular powers are
also enormously developed. The terms
of the bet did not allow of his coming out
of the water, consequently, although his
abilities rs q swimmer might have enabl-
thought, and it afterwards proved, impos-
sible to keep up the circulation of the
blood for so long a period.
On the appointed day, August 23d, a
large concourse of people assembled on
the Admiralty pier, at Dover, to witness
the departure of 'the hero" For an
HOuE OI So, TIC entertained J1C iuulCIlCc
by diving from the bows of a steamer and
performing various aquatic feats: after
which, in company with party of friends,
he embarked on the steamer Palmerston
to begin his exploit of swimming across
to France.
When some 200 yards from the pier,
johnson assembled to the paddle box, ire
mcndous cheers greeted his appearance.
He then dived, the time being 10 40 A.
NJ, and striking out to sea with vigorous
strokes, accomplished the first two miles
IN thirty minutes. The wind was moder-
ate from northeast; a strong tide
was also running, with a short chopping
sea. At II 20 he partook of port wine,
and again at II 80 refreshed himself AT

meath the dignity of middle Age. lie
sleeps on the bed wit b our FOLKS. On
very cold nights he burrows under the
blankets. His hptf Tor retiring is -
He signifies bis readiness for rest by 60
ing to thsrbed-room door and looking
anXousE around. He likes to arise by
| daylight. If our folks do not respond,
he makes three separate demonstrations
First, he gets up, stretches himself, then
sits upon our folks and looks grayp@y in
their faces. Sometimes he TOUCHES one
Of their eyes with M laaw. This is his
gentle way Of saying, ~. me to get
up" But if our folks say, W. Eelomon's
sluggard, "a little more 81 mbef*a little
more folding Of the hand T." &C., Sack
jumps off the bed and ma fes himself very
disagreeable and noisY6y scratching at
the door. If there is@hen no movement,
he jumps on the VI again and trots all
over our folks Ehis is more determin-
ed way of saying, Come, come. Well,

Jack is heavy; MI alderY,Afc. His
trot generally brings ~ tpKs to terms.
When he sees them doTlkStairs and the
kitchen fire kindled, lfseehs better sat-
istied. He smells hown breakfast not
afar off. But he troubles none with the
demands Of his stomach until the rest are
satisfied He is a cat of order, regularity
and etiquette
When he sees the chairs drawn back
and the knives and forks laid down, be
indicates that his time for being served
has come, by Il slight wel-bred NEW. He
knows his place in the family. He knows
ne is ornamental. useful. and amusing
lie asks but for Justice and the warmest
corner by the fireplace. For that, in WIN
ter he has u weakness which sometimes
fills the house with the smell OF burnt fur
His hatred of other cats is intense. He
allows none on the premises. The sight
OF one in me back yard oyerturns his
whole mental equilibrium. He spends
hours 1T the window on the lookout for
invaders. lie seems to have discarded
ali comp9nlonshlp with his own race.
Sometimes there comes Il terrible cutlery,
splitting and scratching from the cellar.
Jake has found therein a strange cat. He
is routing the enemy. He comes up stairs
in his war paint, brstles still raised, tail
enlarged, eyes glazing. Vengeance has
been done The territory is cleared of
intruders. Somebody's cat has gone home
to die
But Jake has a cowardly dread OF boys
He knows instinctively that boys inhu-
mainly to eats has caused countless thou
sands of his kind to mourn. He knows
that most boys are savages who would
delight in putting him to any prolonged
torture. When he sees 4 gang OF boys
proving about the neighborhood, he re-
tires into the innermost chamber. Had
he his way, there should be no boys. He
would like to have been King IIerod's
cat. Lippmcot's Magazine.

II As he approached the steamer and r.
quested something to eat, asking whether
he might come on boord. Mr.. Stra{ee,
seeing that in consequence Of the s4ong
tide, ETC., his chance Of reaching the

it advisable he should DO so. WHEN as
sisted on deck it was found that Ms legs,
from the thighs downward, weE numb

to have almost stopped-in tytt, the cold
had SO thoroughly mastereN the system
that he was unable to raise 4 basin of beef
