Great Swimming Feat by /. Girl. Z.

The London "Echo' of July says
yesterday Miss Beckwith succeeded In
swimming from Old Bridge at Chelsea to
Greenwich Pier. Large crowds had gath
cred to see the start, and when, few min
utes after 3, she leaped from watchman's Is
boat into the river, she was loudly cheered.
There was fair breeze, which made the
water rather lumpy, but the force of the
| ebb tide was all in her favor. With gentle
breast stroke the young swimmer, with
every encouragement from the curious pub
lie, proceeded on her arduous feat. A pilot
In small boat, in which were her father
and brother, the latter ready to jump to the
aid of his sister in the event of any emer-
gency, led the way. She swan close to it's
stern, and kept that position more or less
during the whole of her task. About ten
minutes after starting she placed a straw
| hat on her head, but soon as the sun became
| scured by clouds she threw 1t to her father,
and never had occasion to use It again. A
crowd, composed Of many hundreds, had
| followed her from Chelsea along the En-
bankment, and at Patterson Suspension
Bridge 1t became greatly augmented by
larger crowds, though the elimination in
the number of spectators was reached at
VOpGiulHl5ICI OIuSC. NduAudll OTluHC
was reached in thirty four minutes. When
| she had passed under 1t she several times
passed her body through a hoop-a feat
which elected special cheer. At West
minister the sight of an immense populace
on the bridge was of itself remarkable. But
in addition the Albere Embankment seemed
10 be equally crowded, and, on passing
under the bridge, the Victoria Embankment
as far as the eye could reach was densely
throngcd In seventy minutes Miss Beck
with had reached Blackfrars Bridge, and
from this point to the end of the course
spectators appeared on masts, crowded
wharf windows, and occupied every avail
able position. So far the young swimmer
has displayed not the. least fatigue. She
proceeded with the ease of skilled swim
mer, while the distance had not impaired
the remarkable grace of her style. London
Bridge, crowded, of course, was passed in
one hour and twenty-five minutes. The
boats after this became more unruly than
ever, and on several occasions Miss Beck
with was nearly struck on the head with
their bows. Opposite Greenwich Pier Miss
Beckwith, at 5:55, was taken on board the
Volunteer, having swum the ten miles in two
hours and forty-six minutes. During the
time she was in the water she declined all
offers of refleshment, and when she ap-
peared on board the steamboat she was ap-
parcntly as fresh and sprightly as when she
first came out Of her cabin at Chelsea"

Newark's New Agitation.

A new phrase of the Newark tragedy has
sprung up, from the extraordinary verdict
of the corqner's jury, it is the question
whether the Grand Jury will take any action
bearing ont one halfor the other half of the
verdict referred to. The verdict finds that
Policeman Elsden, Charles Fischer and
John Albers were murdered by the three
Thielhorns, but holds the workmen at Daw-
sons who drove the banditti into the river
and who effectually put a stop to their MUIR
derous assaults by killing them care ccnsur-
able for the Thielhorn's DEATH" The: paper
speaks again of ''the result" being salts
factory to the community" but eve feel
compelled, in justice to the public good, to
say that any attempt, however feeble. to
exercise mob law in wel-regulated COM
munity meets our condemnation" That
verdict, said leading local journalist to the
HERALD representative yesterday, "reminds
me of the court which found the prisoner
not guilty and discharged him, but warned
the prisoner not to do so any more" The
fact is nine people out of every ten IN New
ark heartily approve the course taken by
the outraged, life-imperilled workman, and
even those who do not agree with this view
oppose it solely from an idea that Jersey
Justice is cheated because three murders
have taken place bnt yet there can be no
hanging matches. A few good souls feel
scandalized that such summary proceed
ures should have taken place in law abiding
Jersey, but in their hearts .they-are glad the
Thielhorns were served as they were. An
effort will be made by some to get the Grand
Jury to indict or to present the slayers OF
the Thielhorns. Dickerson, the coiored po
licmen, continues to improve. SO does Mr.
Cahil. A subscription has been starred fol
the relief of officer Elsden's family. Ame-
liza, the sister of the Thielhorns, proposes
to give $50 towards it. 1t is believed that
the Common Council will take fitting ac-
ton at its next meeting, and donate $500 OF
perhaps years pay.

Exter Cathedral.

The choir at Exter Cathedral, which mas
been restored at cost of about E4O,OO0,
was opened June 80, the Bishop and Dean
preaching at the respective services. Some
idea of the nature Of the work just carried
out may be gathered from the fact that
nearly one hundred tons of marble have
been used in the restoration of the pillars,
which are clusters of shafts, and were found
to be much decayed. They are now semi,
polished. The removal of whitewash and
ART brought to light some of the original
decorations in many parts, and the original
designs and paintings have as far as posi-
BILE been restored. A thousand pounds has
been expended in restoring the Bishops
throne, a magnificent specimen of oak
carving. For the repair of the sedilla J.
300 pieces of stone had to be inserted. Ihe
reredos, about which there has been &c 80
much contention, and which cost G2,O00,
has oeen raised, and now shows more prom
inently. The Lady Chapel has also under
gone restoration. The organ has been
almost entirely renewed, the pipes having
been recast. There are 5000 Of them alto
gether. The restoration of the nave is now
to be taken in hand, and it is estimated that
It will cost about 100000.

Pew.Flghting in North wales.

One of those pew-Hghts which are now Of
such frequent occurrence has recently taken
place in a chapel in North Wales. The cir
cumstapces, as related by the western
Mail, Pare ofa peculiarly painful description.
1t seems that q farmers wife, considering
that her dignity was hurt by person In an
inferior position occupying a pew imme-
diately in front of hers, caused screen to
be erected between the two. Prompt was
the retaliation of the other lady. Piling
cushions on her seat to such height that
the screen was rendered useless, she
remained mistress Of the situation. Grow
ing tired, however, of her elevated perch,
she hit upon the design of demolishing the
screen altogether, and accordingly, on q
convenient occasion, she hewed il down
with billhook. The screen was, on the
recommendation of the chapel authorities
restored {; and here, for the moment, the
matter rests but the nerves of the congre-
CATION are kept constantly on the stretch,
and no one knows from moment to moment
whether the screen will be allowed to
remain standing, tho general impression
being that it will be down again before long:
