CAPT. RHODES GREAT, JUMP.
SAM PATCH's COUSIN PROPOSING 10 TAKE A
LONG LEAP INTO THE EAST RIVER.
Nra., Yori. Gr,, sod


SAM PATcH's COUSIN PROPOSING TO TAKE A
LONG LEAP INTO THE EAST RIVER.
New York Sun, 22d.
Capt. J. D. Rhodes, who has been an
nounced in an unauthorized way to jump
from the great bridge into the middle of
the East river, says that he has come down
from Buffalo to take a look at the structure,
but it is not yet steady enough for his pur-
pose He needs, he says, a platform thst
will not sway. He prefers solid ground.
If the platform is not firm, he cannot gov
ern his flight through the air as bis foot
leaves the boards. Ifthe angle is not great
enough between his body and the water, he
would be sure to be Killed by the fall. The
nearer the perpendicular, the better.
There are other things TO be taken into ac-
count The head must be shielded; for,
striking the water at distance of eighty
feet is like diving against a pile of lumber.
The diver says that be holds has cIasped
hands over his head, presenting his knuck-
les to the water In recent dive, Capt.
Rhodes says that he neglected to keep his
legs Strengthened out, and although his
body escaped injury, the blow on the SUR
face of the water made bis legs as black
and blue as though be had been pounded
with club. Lastly, the direction of the
current of water must be noticed. The
diver should enter the water with his back
to the current, 50 that, as it runs against
him in his rapid descent, it doubles him up
in the natural way of curling up in a ball.
If the current doubles him up in the other
way, the Captain says, it would break his
back. When the roadway is stretched
across the great bridge, Captain Rhodes
anticipates making the jump. He is a
cousin of the noted Sam Patch, who lost
his life jumping from Genesee Falls. He
is of medium height, and thick set. He
went to Portage, N. j., last evening. where
on July a, he is Co jump from the top of a
bluff rs feet high into water 90 feet deep.
His wife and sister are to jump 40 feet at
the same time. Last Fall he jumped at
Portage and struck a rock under water.
He was laid up'four months in consequence.
Immediately after the Jump at Portage,
Captain Rhodes sisR to go to London and
Jump from London Bridge into the Thames.
He challenges any one to jump there with
him. He proposes to make twenty-five
Jumps on the coast of England, Scotland

An optical illusion or mirage was seen
by three or four farmers few miles from
this city afe1w days since, the appearance
Of which no one is able philosophically to
account for. The facts are these "A man
while ploughiIg in field with several
others, about p. M, happened to glance
toward the sky, which was cloudless, and
saw, apparently, ABOUT half mile off In a
westerly direction. an Opaque substance,
resembling a white horse, with lead, neck,
limbs and tail cleariy defined, swimming in
the clear atmosphere. 1t appeared to bo
moving it's limbs AS II engaged in swim
ming, moving its lead from side to side,
always ascending at an angle Of about As
degrees. He rubbed his eyes to convince
himself that he was not dreaming, and
looked again, but there it still was--still
apparently swimning and ascending in
ether. He called to she men-about 100
yards of Ftand told them to look up and
tell him ~hat they saw. They declared
they saw white hosse swimming in the
sky apa were badly frightened. Our in
formant, neither sapeastitious nor nervous,
sat down and watched the phantasm {if we
mas so cali it1 until ii disappeared in space
qfways going in the same direction and
moving in ghe same manner. No one can
account for the mirage or Illusion except
upon the uneven state oftlas atmosphere.
Ilusicng of different appearance have
been seen atdifferent times III the same
vicinity, frightening the superstitions and
laughed at By the yceptical.

Miners are continually dying of heat in

The professional journalist never, think,
adequately realizes the public's ignorance
of what to him are the most familiar pro-
fessional facts, and is subject all his life to
new surprises as one phase or another of
it is revealed. For example, | was asked
not long ago, by one of the most intelli-
gent persons of my acquaintance, why the
ArgonQ Qut did not achieve all attainable
literary excellence in all its features and de-
partments. My first reply was, naturally,
that did not manage the Argonaast; but,
perceiving that this might be misunder-
stood as reflection on those who do, /
"amended the answer" by making it a
question Why does yonder merchant
keep on his sh elves any but the best and
highest priced goods 9'' Being told that
that was :" a different matter" frankly
confessed it was, and there this luminous
and instructive conversation died tho
peaceful death Of spent match. :.
