LAYING THRIR RopEs.

San FRANc1sco, Dec. 9,-The Legisla-
ture oi the State will meet again to-day.
The adjournment Of yesterday Is consid-
cred trick oi sharp practice to give the
Democrats and Republicans time 10 com.
plete their plans sgsinst Booth and the
independents, whom be leads. II seems
TO be- generally conceded, however, that
Booth will be elected for the long term,
and Rowe, Democrat, for the short one.
Who the latter may be has not been def
nitely settled. There is report that Cas-
serly Is working 10 defeat Booth, but It q
not generally credited. There are all
sorts olrumors Of bargains, compromises,
etc, but the proceedings oi to-day will
probably tell the whole story.

Sam Patoh's Last Jump,

A correspondent of the New York
Commercial Adrertiser writes While
in Rochester few days ago l met
Mr.. Hebbard, an old resident of Gen
esseo county, who saw Sam Patch
make bis famous jump of Genesseo
falls, 80 or 40 years ago He says
that jump day was great day in
Rochester The people, gathered for
miles around to see this intermittent
American jumper, as he performed
his last feat
Sam Patch had previously jumped
over Niagara. Then, saying "some
things can be donc as well as Others"
he slashed around like Sergeant Dates
through the western part Of the State
to back up his proverb. Before this
last jump, he bought biz black bear
OF circus man and led him over the
turnpike TO Rochester
The morning of the day came
Sam had arrived in town with the
black bear, and tho crowd rushed into
Rochester from miles around. Twelve
O'Clock was the hour to jnmp-to
jump 100 feet downtown the terri
bic fall into the boiling caldron below.
A staging had been built out over the
water, and Sam appeared on the stag.
ing dressed in n sailors fancy jacket.
Ills friends now took mp u colec-
ton on the shore, while Sam swung
his hat and said, after jumping him
self, he would return and throw the
bear over. Then, amid n death.likc
stiffness, he ran few steps and gave
one leap into the air and fell, cutting
the mist, like lead sinkcr, two hun
dred feet into the scething whirlpool,
As he left the staging his body us.

foremost, but above his feet. As he
struck the water there was u dread.
ful silence, while the populace await
cd with choking breath his rcarpcar-
ance. One minute, two minutes, three
minutes, and no signs Of the daring
jumper. Then tho people set up II
loud wail--a long murmur of sorrow.
This was tho end Of Sam Patch.
They say he had boen drinking dur
ing the morning, and failed to keep
his feet together and his body perped
dicular, as on previous occasions. SO
when he struck the water the breath
left his body, and he was knocked

they found his body away down below
