The Republicans, it is trne, have elect
ed their ticket in this county, but it is
because the opposition was divided
They owe their victory to the triangular
fight, and not because the party is in the
majority in the county, as an adding of
the vote given to the opposition shows.
If we were united we could have carried
the county by upwards of three hundred
majority. What should then be the ac-

sPELTERINI.
How shc Hops over Niagara.
A Niagara letter SAYS :

Niagara letter says:
The excitement during the past month
las been the Spclterini, very interest
ing young Italian lady, who yesterday
gave her fifth exhibition on the high
rope over Niagara rapids. She is quite
the rage at Niagara, and much petted by
the ladies, as they thoroughly appreciate
the magnitude OF the performance she
has just completed. Peculiarly it has
not been such success, "A with the ex-
ception of few clear-heasled individuals
that saw the benefit 10 the town derived
from the walks of Mile Spelterini, her
subscription list was very thinly filled.
and even then one. third of those who put
their names down declined To pay when
the collector paid them visit The rope
on which Tile Spelterini walked is 1900
feet long and was stretched across the
gorge Of the rapids about 800 feet below
the railroad bridge. At that point she
was walking about 200 feet above the
rapid. running water. On each occasion
that NH Spelterini has performed she
has executed her difficult task without
the slightest mistake, although once or
twice she had to encounter some
especial danger. A sunstroke on the
street is not very pleasant, and on a
rope 200 feet over water would
be likely to unnerve a per-
son, but the young girl went down on
one knee and rested until she recovered
her senses and could see clearly. The
great strength In the performance of
NJ lie Spelterni is the peculiarly graceful
and artistic manner in which she exc
cutes the most difficult feats, and also the
wonderful en- durance that enables her to
walk $50 feet on rope, carrying sixty
pound pole. 500 women out of 1000
could not carry a sixty-pOund pole 100
feet while walking on the ground. 1t is
also so much the more tedious when
walking in baskets, blindfolded, in a sack,
backward, in chains or in any of
her other ways Of going. Yesterday
was her last performance IN Niagara, as
although the business has improved con-
siderably. it does not pay, as over two
thirds of the spectators remain outside
the Enclosures and evade paying the adj
mission fee Of twenty-five cents. If she
has not made any money she has made a
reputation that will follow her all over
tile world, as she is certainly the most &C
complishcd artist that ever crossed the
Niagara Rapids on single rope. Her
friends are having a gold medal made in
Buffalo, which Will be presented to her as
a souvenier of the Falls and rememb-
rance OF the difficult task she accomplish
ed during her stay. Thr medal will be
the gift of some OF the guests OF the In
ternational Hotel, where Mile Spelterini
had her rooms.

The Lenton and Ware Combin:

The Lenton and Ware Combination
gave their first entertainment last
evening in Turn-Verein Hall, to a
good house, and We fancy If the pub
lie had really known the excellence of
the performance the hall would have
been crowded. !, We have not space to-
day to give each one belonging to the
troupe their due need of praise. We
can only say that it is one of the best
entertainments it has been our good
fortune to witness anywhere. Mrs.
Ware, in her comic songs, received an
encore every time and was immensely
funny, and the old plantation darkey
was feature of the performance that
will be long remembered. The aero
batic part of the performance we re-
gard as perfection. We do not believe
that it ever will or can be eXcelled.
We have never Seen it equalled, and
cannot do it justice. All we can say
is go and see it and you will never re-
gret it. The serio-comic Operetta of
Dennis, "O'Dowd,u is both pathetic
and numerous, and alone is worth the
price of admittance. This evening it
will be repeated and we hope to see
the hall filled to repletion.
Yesterday afternoon the petroleum
in the lamp used for heating water in
Robinson's Palace Shaving Saloon,
caught fire and made it rather warm
for the proprietor for little while.
He pitched the whole concern into the
back yard, eventually where it scat
tered around for a considerable dis
tance and came near setting fire to q
pile of boards. Notwithstanding the
ruin of his lamp, Robinson says he
shall still shave for fifteen cents.
Joe Williams, at the Palace saloon,
sets lunch every day that would be
a creditable dinner in first class ho-
tel. His ale, wines, and liquors are
of the best quality and all this for one
bit. Joe says it does him good to see
people grow fat, and the boys are
willing to crafty him, so every one is
satisfied.
The telegraph is now in operation to
Whitewater and the rails are being

We clip the following from an Illi-
nois exchange:
We are indebted TO our old friend j. A. Nell
son for copy of the Los Angeles (Cal.) Daily
Herald. The paper contains a comprehensive
statement of the resources OF the country
oontigous to Los Angeles, and would natural
ly give the reader the California fever II he
were gullible enough to swallow everything
he reads. California; Is no doubt very excel
lent state, but we believe Illinois is good
enough for us yet awhile. We are, however,
OBJ iged to James all the same for the paper.
This is all right. 1t is not the OBJ
ject of the HERALD to make people
dislike their own country. We only
design to give true presentation OF
California for the benefit of those who
are dissatisfied where they are; and
there are enough of such to fill our
State to overflowing. The writerof the
above paragraph is an editor, and we
presume he is doing well where he is.
We would advise him to stay.
