not only the common fea's Of tight.
rope performers, bu, many more
startling and dangerous. Leonard
compelled him to walk the tight-rops
blindfolded. to ascend and decend .
rope fastened to IN angle of forty i've
degrees and . score more Of sea's
which the equilibrists decline to un-
dersake. and aii without any netting

Of falling.
Berrh stationed few officers IN
the audience, and when Leonard and
the boy appeared, they sprang upon
the stage and seized them both. A,
the examination the next morning, it
VAS shown that the child was the soa
Of . drunken rsg-pieker in Pbiiadel-
phia. that the father sold him to Leo
nard. Who has tsained him Leonard
has habi,usIIy beaten, starved and
abused bio When pvacsiciDg. il The
child failed in the siightest rssticalAr,
the brute would kick and bruse him,
without mercy. He performs none
of the feais willingly; in fact there is
terror in his face frum the moment
he is forced upon the rope 'ill he is
through. He ,rembles so With fear
during his performance that the chan
ees of failure is largely increased, but
he does il because he knows that II
fails he takes the chance oil being
killed bv the fall, and that If he es-
capes that his brute Of master will
half-kill him with beating. Think of
putting boy seven years old, on
small rope stretched from foor to
ceiling, . distance Of sixty feet, at an
angle OF forty-fve degrees, and CON-
pei Kim to crawl up the terrible in
cline. And then when 1t the top,
sixty feet from the stage, 70 slide
down the steep decent with frighsful
velocity, rrasping the rope only with
his toes, bringing up in the arms Of
his master.

Because . man hsppers 70 be rich

most of them, live as quietly IS other
people, and . great deal more 50 than

up . long WAY into the miiiions, lives
On Fourth street, . most uniashions-

Gramercy PARK. and Hamilton Fish,
on 18th and Second Avenue. Dan
iel Drew's abode Is on the corner Of

tions have been abandoned bv the
fashionable. years ago, but the old
fellows love their old homes, and say

the corner OF 18th and Broadway, In

keeps his COW on il. The ground is

the ground, the old gen.leman's milk
cos: him about go per quart, but he
doesn't care for that. He waits

gets it.

MooDY AND SASKEy
Are not the sensation they wsre when
they begin. You can get into the
Rink now, without the slightest
trouble, and unoccupied seats begin
to show. Still the Evangelists keep
up their efforts with " much vigor
- ever, and the religious element of
Brooklyn seem to be in no wise dis
eouraged. While their success is
not what We anticipated, there can be
no question that they have accom-
plished great good. They have sue
ceeded in awakening the protesting
Christians to q more keen sense of
their duty, they have brought back
backsliders, and have alarmed thou
sands Of sinners. The requests for
prayers come from every State in the
Union. Moody's method Is peculiar.
He selects subject for each meet
ing and compeIs the attention of the
audience to that one subject, and
nothing else. For instance the other
morning, the subject was "Love."
