NARROW ESCAPE.

There was great excitement in tie vicinity
of Niagara Falls, Monday, in consequence Of
a painter named Mccullough, who was en-
ployed in painting the bridge leading from
Goat Island to the Three Sisters, having fallen
from the bridge into the rapids below. He
drifted with the current to point within
forty feet of the falls, where he found anchor
age in the middle of the stream that separates
the islands by coming in contact with rock,
to which he chung. In few moments the
news of the accident spread like wildhre
through the village, and an immense crowd
of spectators gathered to look at the unfor-
mans perilons situation, from which il seemed
impossible to rescue him.
Mccullough had given up all hopes ofbeing
aided; his arms and body were fast becoming
benumbed and losing their hold on the slim.
perry rock, when shout went up from the
threats OF the spectators which told him that
aid was nigh. In that vast crowd which Mad
assembled on the islands and bridges there
was but one man who was willing to risk hi,
own life in trying to snatch fellow creature
from out the jaws of death. Tom Conroy. a
guide at the Cave of Winds, jumped into the
rapids, and, holding IN bis left hand the end
Of rope and sw winning down the current, he
reached Mccullough in safety. He immed-
lately tied the rope around himself and the
nearly exhausted man, and they were both
safely landed ashore in few moments Nc
Cullough was badly bruised about the head
and body. A purse was Immediately taken
up for Conroy, who is now the hero of the
hour.

NEJV PUBLICATIONS

c. A. Nichols Co. Of Springfield, Mass +,
are the publishers of volume entitled "The
Polar and Tropical World-A Description
of Man and Nature in the Polar and Equa-
torial Regions of the Globe" The work con-
tains two volumes in one and has more than
eight hundred pages. The author is DR.. G..
Hartwig. Some chapters are edited by DR..
A. II. Guernsey. This is the most complete
and comprehensive popular book on the
polar and tropical regions within our knowl-
edge. 1t combines in form for general
readers all that may be found in various
other works upon the same subjects. 1t
comprises the two volumes previously issued
by Dr. Hartwig, has an account of Halls ex-
petition, contains valuable and interesting in
formation from the researches of Squier in the
great table-lands of Bolivia and Peru, of
Ortons explorations in the valley of Quito,
Agassizs contributions from the mighty val
ley of the Amazon, also gleanings from the
travels and explorations of Anderson and
Baldwin in Southern Africa. Barth across the
Sahara, Spoke and Baker on the sources of
the Nile, and Du. Chaillu en- the line Of tie
equator. Wallace's work on the Malay Ar
chipelago is made to contribute soIe ofthe most
important chapters in the volume. Indeed it
is quite library by itself. 1t has two hur-
dred illustrations which are said to be truth
ful representations of nature but Of that we
cannot youch. 1t has an account Of the Polaris
and the party on the ice hoe that sailed down
SO miraculously through the Polar sea to the
waters of the Labrador coast. The most val
liable part perhaps Of the whole is summary
of Artic explorations to the present time and
new maps, making it highly useful for refer
ence. The style and matter are adapted to
the popular understanding. Even children
may read it with pleasure and profit, and every
household find instruction and entertain
ment in its pages. 1t is sold only by sub
scription. This city will be canvassed for
subscribers by Mr.. r. N. Fisher, an author
lied agent for that purpose.

The Boston Journal discusses the Con-
gressional elections, and tavors the reten-
ton of old members while no reasons ex-
list for change. "In New England" says
the Journal, "and generally in most of the
Atlantic States, the presumption is in ia
vor Of no change Of membership. unless
there is a change of politics in the district
Or special reasons have arisen. This pol
icy has unquestionably added immensely
to the power of our representation in Con-
gress; and, from the present appearances,
the disorganizing influences rife at the
West will make the retention of this pol
icy of unprecedent Importance in the next
Congress. For all that, it is incumbent
upon the Republican electors ofevery Con-
gressional district in New England to
faithfully scan the record of their Repre-
sentatives, and ifthey find they can do bet
ter, to make the change infexibly. No

cal life would be cured"

THE NEWSECRETARY.

The new Secretary of the Treasury,
General Bristow, Is citizen of Kentucky
and lawyer BY profession. All reports
represent him as man of ability as we'll
as of fine appearance. He comes from a
section where initiation is supposed to be
popular, but his opinions it is said are of
an opposite character. President Grant
would not have nominated him probably
had he been an infationist. His appoint
ment seems to give the best of satisfac.
ton. He was confirmed without oppo-
sition, and the comments of the news

General Bristow was born in Kuntucky
and is connected with an old and respected
family in that State. His father was a
Wing member of Congress. lie is still a
young man, being but forty-one or forty
two years old. AT the outbreak of the
war he was engaged in the practice of the

were enforced in his district with unusual
vigor and success, and all his official
duties were quietly and modestly per-
formed, without show or pretense. The
ability which he exhibited as District
Attorney led to his appointment as Soiic-

organization of the Department of Justice

that office, and he organized and con-

AN INDUSTRIOUS WORKER.

1t is said that Victor Hugo rarely
makes use of the pen; he works with
the brain and not with the hand. When
composing his works he PAGES the floor
of his room, holding high his head, and
debating to a secretary sitting at a desk
in one corner. He dictates very slowly,
sentence by sentence, as Moses, to
whom the poet often compares himself,
must have dictated the words engraved
upon the ancient tablets of stone.
Moses lie regards as the greatest man
that ever lived, but there are grave
doubts in his mind whether or not
Moses and Victor Hugo are one and the
same person. If Hugo did not live a
few thousand years ago under the rame
of Moses, he thinks that the soul of
Moses must have descended to the
Hugo of to-day. 1t is wen said that he
has declared any other mind that yer
existed incapable of writing the first
books of the Bible, and rather i~nclines
to the belief that he wrote them him
self. If he extends this theory to 9th
ers his lofty contempt for the rest of
mankind must make him assign the
rest of us to n brute state of existence
Mt the time he was the chief of the He
brews and the law-giver to the human
race. Victor Hugo works necessarily,
wearing out two secretaries when
pressed for time, and he eats as heartily
as any mar alive. The amount of fish
he consumes by himself would supply a
small family, and his beefsteaks are of
old-fashioned dimensions. After all,
there is nothing like a good appetite and
an excellent digestion, especially when
one rises at five o'clock in the morning
and works until midnight.
