A Courageous Workman.

4EsTERDAYmorninga about nine o'clock,
as the boat Good Templar was passing I'M
der the Ferry street bridge that spans the
Erie Canal, a little daughter of the Captain
OF the boat (Johnson) about eleven years
old, took it into her head to swing
from one of the iron rods of the bridge,
and before she could release herself the
boat passed on and left her suspended over
the water Her cries attracted the atten-
ton of the workmen engaged upon Gen.
Rathbone's new foundry, but her position
was such that it seemed almost impossible
to render her any assistance, she being
about midway under the bridge, and the
only alternative left her, apparently, was
to drop into the canal and take chances of
being rescued by some of the spectators.
This she would not do, yet it was but a
question of time before she would be COM
PEELED to relinquish her hold and drop ex-
hausted into the canal. At this juncture
re lief came to the little sufferer. A man
named M ichael Casey, residing on Ferry
street, seeing the crowd, had come to learn
the cause of the excitement. A glance
was sufficient. With a GOODNESS worthy of
record he Invested himself of coat, hat
and boots, and getting down the side of
the bridge took a flying leap and caught
the iron rod on which the little girl was
suspended. He then "walked" hand
over hand till he reached her, and having
got his arm around her waist lowered her
down until she rested her arms on his
feet. In this way he returned to the tow
path side of the canal and deposited his
charge in safety on the bank. 1t was a
herculean task and one which would re-
fleet credit upon a professional gymnast,
not to speak of the GOODNESS and courage
displayed by Mr.. Casey.-A16ang Argus

to mingle with our fellows. If we go out,
they say we never attend to our business.

Marriage.
dug. H..

EVERY now and then some of the Jour
nails in the large cities have a spasm upon
the economy of marriage and the amount
OF income necessary before matrimony can
safely be contracted. A year or two ago
the New York Times devoted column after
column to the subject for many days, and
the Inter- Ocean is now following suit
Scores of communications from all sorts of
people are interesting, as showing the
varying opinions of people on the subject,
and many are amusing and racy, and
others are quite instructive as relating the
experiences of those who have tried mat
rimony, and write out what they know
about its costs and pains, and penalties
and pleasures, for the benefit of the single.
But the object of them all is supposed to
be to find and declare the exact point at
which the amount of income will warrant
man in taking a wife-to decide, in
fact, upon an arbitrary amount that will
enable man to say: & Now can take
and support wife"
This is what cannot be done, and so in
the end lifelong discussion of the subject
amounts to nothing, except in the gain of
some Incidental information that may be
of use to young people about to marry.
The amount of income necessary to mar
riage depends entirely upon who the con-
tracing parties are. What is their. posi-
ton in life, how they were reared, what
their dispositions and tastes are, what they
expect, the circles they desire to move in,
and the sacrifices they are willing to make
for the sake of marriage, if any sacrifices
are required.
Saws one writer: CAS- life is now in the
large cities, and as things go, it would
take brave man to marry upon an income
of 81 200 or 81 800 year" 1t would
take nothing of the sort. fla man is will
ing to cOnfine himself to the kind of life
such an income will support for the sake
of woman, and the woman consent to
share such life with him, then the couple
will find that the income named will pro-
cure them all the necessaries of life and
some of the Injuries If they are happy
enough in each others love and the pleas
ures of their mutual affection to make
them content with their lot there is no
reason why life should be unpleasant to
them, or why they should not enjoy it as
we'll as though they had 100000 year.
When young man says to awoman " /
cannot marry you because my income IS
but $4,000 he may be, all things consid-
cred, earnest and exercising good judg-
ment His own tastes and habits, the tastes
and habits of the woman, their social ties

Three Men Lose Their Lives by a
FOOlhardy Exploit.

JUST in the out skirts of Paterson, N j.,
Passaic River tumbles over dam ten
feet or more, and then, after rushing over
huge, rough masses of blue rock, throws
itself Over precipice ninety feet in
height Facing this waterfall, and scarce
ly thirty feet distant from it, is an abrupt
wall, equaling the cataract in height, and
forming firm barrier against which the
river hurls itself in its fall. The I'M
prisoned waters can escape from the
chasm into which they have beer trapped
only by turning sharply from the base of
the bluff and rushing away through mar
row defile to the plains. The scene is so
grand that the people of Paterson have
converted the surrounding acres into
pleasure park, and have spanned the mar
row gulf into which the waters leap with
a light bridge. Around this bridge, when
the waters are high and the river is strong,
clouds of spray arise so dense as to hide
from anyone standing upon it the depth
of the gulf below.
Above the dam there are moored half

living close by, who use them to fish from
in the mill-pond, for ordinarily there is
no water pouring over the dam, and no
current whatever in the pond. All the
surplus water in such times is carried
away through large sluice, and the rocky
bed lying between the dam and the falls
is so dry that children can cross from one
grassy shore to the other, and can play
around the huge masses of stone whose
tops can scarcely be seen in flood season.
The rains of the past week have filled
the river, and over the top Of the dam the
waters pour three feet in depth with Won
derful force Above the dam the surface
is still, CLASSY and unbroken, but the cur
rent is resistless and dangerous, more
dangerous for being unseen.
On Sunday morning James Grogan
went with his companions to borrow
neighbours boat for row on the river

Imports and Exports During Las
Year.
WASHINGTON. Aur. ID

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ia.
The detailed statement of IMPORTS and
exports for the year ended June %, 1875,
has Just been issued by the Board of Sta
tistics. Compared with the preceding ifs
cal year marked falling off in the aggre-
gates of our foreign and domestic trade is
shown. The total value of imports for the
year was 1858, 906,253, falling off of
nearly $40, 100000 compared with the pre-
ceding year. Of the merchandise i'm
ported S167, $50, ga was non-dutiable,
leaving 1886, 725, 500 to pay $156, ,131
collected from customs last year The de-
crease in gold coin imported was s5,773,
313, and in silver coin $2,2O5,9 16. Dur
ing the wear the excess of gold coin ex-
ported, compared with 1874, was $50, 542,
S27, and silver coin $569, 252, which shows
a loss in coin for the last fiscal year ofover
$39,000,000

make marriage between them upon such
an income like suicide, or the means of
bringing upon them endless misery and
unhappiness.
A man and woman matrimonially in
clined must be their own judges of their
ability to marry upon the income that will
be theirs, and no arbitrary rule that will
cover the case of another couple will meet
their case. But when once they resolve to
take their chances upon small income,
to live as that income enables them, and
to be content to give up all else for each
other, then they may find in such mar
riage much pure happiness.-Cincinnatj

Can a Dead Man GrOan9

DIR. b. HOLLAND writes as follows on
this subject in the British Medical Jour-
nal: The possibility and probability
alike of such circumstance as the utter
ance Of groan after somnatic death are
sufficiently heterodox to ordinary credence
to induce me to record the fact of my hay
ing, in connection with others, heard
veritable dead man groan. ]. B., aged
fifty-seven, committed suicide by hanging
After he had been very effcctually suspend
ed for an hour be was cut down by me
and two others. AS the double rope was
slackened from the neck air escaped from
the thorax through the larynX, and pro-
longed, rather loud groan was the conse-
quence. The two men who. assisted me
exclaimed: He amt dead;' and I, for
the moment, fell in with their views,
ripped open his clothes, and practiced ar
titicial respiration; but | soon noted that
there was not the slightest attempt at res
piration; that the heart was still to eye,
hand and ear, and that his well-opened
eyes were glazed as only dead mans eyes
glaze, and that the dilated pupils were in
sensible to strong light. He was certainly
dead, and dead from the first, and the
groan we all heard had, imagine, the fol-
lowing causation: The suicide braces his
body for the final throe by taking deep
breath; and, when hanging is the method
adopted, the construction of the air pas
sages is too immediate and effectual to al
low this air to escape; but, when the rope
is relaxed, the lungs and thorax contract
with sufficient force to occasion a groan,
even an hour after DEATH

I'd like to draw fifty cents from the char

Mr. Baird looked at the man in sur
prise. There was pause, during which
the speaker whistled softly.
But said the former, @ if you are
destitute, as you say isn't it little reck-
less in you to marry"
The man leaned over the counter and
whispered:
Il wouldn't do it, he said, "if the old
folks wasn't kicking up such row about
it. Isn't there fund to help old soldiers
in distress?''
There is such a fund, but it is to
diminish their Affections, not to increase
Them" returned Mr.. Baird, severely.
The stranger looked at him for long
time in silence. Then he sighed gently
and went out. A few moments later he
passed down the street with his bride
