A DARING FEAT ABoVE NIAGARA
FALLS
From the Weuand Tribune.


On Thursday of last week the tug
Minerva, which is engaged in towing
mud scows from the Welland Canal
to the Niagara river, had proceeped
we'll out into the river just above the
falls, with her usual tow of three
loaded scows, when the lines holding
the last of the three parted, and the
scow reeled around and made for the
rapids. Jim hampton was at the
wheel, and with great presence of
mind he headed his tug for the rapids
and made circuit around the scow,
which was now dangerously near the
rocks. In the mean time the men
boarded the two remaining scows
and dumped them, rendering them
easier to handle. When they ap-
preached near enough the runaway,
a man jumped aboard of her, fastened
a line, and dumped her. And now
came the tug of war. They lay on
the very edge of the rapids, when
the throttle was thrown wide open,
and the tug headed up stream from
the cataract. 1t was nip and tuck,
and they were about to cut away part
of the tow, when the tug seemed to
gain little on the current, and grad
ually emerged into safety with her
full tow.

A rather novel breach of promise suit
has just been begun before the Superior
Court for Windham county. David l..
Rock, sturdy young man Of Wauregan,
two years ago began to pay his addresses
to bright, black haired, black eyed girl
by the name of Agnes Greenea The
swain bought little presents and paid his
sweetheart the most undivided attention,
but Agnes didn't think enough of David
to become his partner for life, and plain
ly told him so. David didn't like the
"mitten' bit, but watched every on
portunity to enjoy the company OF Ag-
mes. About three month ago John La
Rose appeared oil the scene, and his at
tentlohs to Agnes We're reciprocated and
after short courtship they were marri-
ed. After the knot was tied, all the
chances of David Rock were gone, and
he now brings suit for 500 damages

The Kind OF u lIan Who Illus
Been Appointed u. n. Senator
by the Governor OF Missouri.

Special to the CIrelnnAtI Conmsrcill.
ST. LOUIS, September %. The GuYer-
nor has appointed David II. Armstrong,
Of this city, to the vacant Senatorship y.
The selection, TO put it mildly, is about
the most wrelched that could have been
made. There is no room for doubt lha,
the Governor has been actuated in max
ing this choice by considerationsol person
al ambition and selfinterest, utterly ignur,
ing the honor and interests Of the Com.
monwealth. There are perhaps lhun,
sand Democrats in the State better fitted,
morally and mentally, to fill this hieh-vo,
sition. The only hypothesis upon wbir!,
the appointment OF Armstrong can be &C
counted for is that he is pledged to do all
in his power TO aid Governor Phelps to
secure the Senatorship at the regular
election in March, 1879. That Mr..
Phelps would he governed by the con-
sideration involved in this theory ws.
anticipated IN the Commercials special
kilograms from this city announcing the
death of Mr.. Bogy and SpecnIating upon
the su ccession.
Armstrong is i machine politician in
every sense Of the term. He is schemcr
and wire.puller Of the most inveleraie
type. He has held number Of appoint.
i've Offices in this city, but could not Sc
cure from the people the traditional
office Of "dog-peIter." He is al present
one OF The Police Commissioners. He Is
q man Of no intellectual caliber, of low
instincts and Of vulgar associations. lie
is brutal and tyrannical, ill.bred, profaue
and affected, ponpous and loud. Fe Ia
generally considered honest, however, No
scandals have been connected with his
official acts, and 1t is possible he may
make Stagger towards doing the State
some service;n but the appointment, on
the whole, ia discreditable 10 the Govern.
or, and WILDE \ disappointment to the
people.
The newly made Senator was serenad-
ed tonight at the Planters House, The
affair was gotten up and conducted BY
some OF his intimate and personal friends.
Most conspicuous were Gen. ]. McKiu

and who has since lived in i'll odor here.

in court to having corruptly subsidized

putable detective, was also active. Col.
John A. Joyce, otWhlsky Ring notoriety,
was among the frat to publicly appear on
the balcony and congratulate Mr.. Arm

The ab.ence Of all the respectable ele.
ment OF the Democracy from the demon
stratiou was marked. The appointment
cah not fail 10 provoke intense indisna.
tion throughout the State. Il is simply
disgaceful.
