Our New C-risaiaag Prosecutor.

At times during the past week our
court room has been the scene of
unusual interest. AS often happens
in trials where life or liberty is at
stake, there was manifested the ut
| most desire to hear and understand
all the incidents that combined either
to create or mitigate what was charg-
ed against the accused. Generally
court rooms are neither the qaietest
nor most orderly places. Crowds
enter and depart at pleasure, and
often the CHATTER of feet and the buzz
of conversation rise above arguments
addressed TO bench and %juries, but
during the periods alluded to the
most perfect order prevailed, and
even ladies listened with comfort to
the debates. His Honor, Judge Por-
ter, always d~ignifed, self-possesed and
impartial, maintained order, directed
proceedings and at proper points in
structed both counsel and juries ac-
cording to the ancient precepts of the
common, and the more modern re-
quirements of The State law.
The interest of the occasion was
heightened by the presence of eminent
advocates from adjoining counties,
among whom were Messrs Guitar and
Douglass of Boone, and SIR. Brace,
Of Monroe county, whose searching
examinations and vivid oratory i'm
parted increased zest to what had
been interesting without them. So
far as individuals were concerned
however. after the accused, our new
criminal prosecutor attracted most at
tention. Watched alike by friends
and foes, it is acknowledged on all
sides that Air. rrinbis is a sueces-.
The expectations inspired by his
canvass have been realized. Com
pared to the most successful of our
own and adjoining bars he stands at
least their e9usl. Exposed at the
very outset of his official career to as
sharp a forensic tournament as he is
ever likely to encounter, not one
laurel has been plucked from the
wreath that already adorned his brow
and his reputation rs Il DICTATOR rises
freshcr and higher than eve His
presentments are plain, systematic
and intelligent. He does not get
mixed up. He rarely uses two words
where one will suffice. He makes no
over statements on which opposing
counsel can base rejoinders, and yet
he has ability TO impart conceptions
of offences and arouse Indignation
corresponding to their enormities.
He has the merit also of being in
earnest. OF this he may be satisfied.
In the prosecution of his arduous
duty to vindicate the law, he has the
sympathy and good wishes of all
right minded citizens.

SILVER.
From Hon. Thomas Ewing's
Speech.

-
Mr.. Ewing said, the time had not
arrived for changing the weight of
either the gold or silver dollar.
Let Congress rcmonetize silver, and
if a large difference remained between
the gold and silver dollar. then would
be the time to determine how they
should be equalized.
The United States was the great
silver producing country of the world
and the advocates of this bill were
appealing to the Representatives of
the people to let the great American
money product be money. If he
were the strongest advocate for re-
sumption, he would say: Reinforce
your gold with all the silver money
you can, at the old ratio of 16 to 1,
and when foreign trade turns against
you, if it should turn, and you have
to send your gold abroad, you can
do so without the humiliating shock
Of a suspension. Referring to the de-
monetlzation of silver, he character
lied it as the result of a union of
usurers to double their wealth, and
at the same time double the burdens
of debt and taxation. 1t was a gigan-
tic and monstrous conspiracy against
the people. OF course when he talk
ed about its being a mistake he was
speaking ironically. 1t only added
five thousand millions of dollars to
the wealth of the creditor class. Was
that a mistake? Men did not often
make money by mistake. Mr.. Kelly:
Was it not more of an accident than
a mistake? MI. Ewing replied, that
he believed it was an ingenious, well
devised, secretly expected fraud
upon the American people. Gap
plause.) The stealth with which it
was done illustrated the saying in
the merry Wives CT Windsgr."
''Where money goes before, all ways
are open." What was the present
condition of society? The people of
Europe and the United States were
laboring under the heavy weight of
public and private debts and taxation.
There must come some relief. There
must be some revival of prices from
an enforced gold level and it could
only come by restoring silver and
gold to an equal, free, unlimited
coinage. Whatever tended to de-
grade and inpoverish tie laboring
masses of the country, tended incvi-
tally and swiftly to the establishment
of class rule, which had always, and
everywhere, cursed humanity. Here
was q money metal that was before
Abraham, before Troy, which had
been pre-eminently the money of civ
ilized men. 1t HAD been the very
torch of civilization. 1t had lighted
Rome to imperial splendor. When
it had been extinguished, the world
had sunk for a thousand years in
darkness. When it had been rekindled
it lighted the civilization OF two con-

Harmon PEERS Perilous Leap from Niagara
| 4ImJfs@a Suspension Bridge Esf,
A small platform was built on the
downward side of the bridge, while
from the top of the bridge there was a
long beam. Peer drove to the place he
had arranged for his perilJus task, he
was clothed in very light, waterproof
I garments, while in front Of his face and
in bis ears he had fastened large sponges
| dipped in alcohol, the object of these
being to prevent his losing his breath
by his necessarily rapid descent. From
the long beam overhead there was q
small wire, which was connected to a
sort Of harness around Peers body and
shoulders. This had the effect of keep
ing him in an upright position, and was
to guard against his being doubled up
or sent head foremost down. The wire
paid out over the projection beam men
toned from a large cylinder on the
bridge. It was light enough, and SO
arranged that he would not be stopped
in his fall, or any other accident occur
by it. Peer walked out on the small
platform, and, after +. giving a
farewell salute to the . people on
the bridge and shores, he let
go Of the plank, Like bullet he shot
to the water below, disappearing for
minute, and then appearing about fifty
feet below the place where he struck.
A small boat which had been awaiting
him followed him and took him in. He
was removed to the hotel, where, after
being relieved of the sponges and other
attachments, he stated that he was all
right, and his Jump had had no bad
effect on him. He had closed his eyes,
and the only description he could give
Of the sensation of falling was that it
was similar to any other fall. His de-
scent was accomplished in four seconds.
Harmon Peer resides at Teeterville,
County Norfolk, Ont. he got his first
idea of jumping when he was sailor,
seven years ago, in the Caribbean sea,
accidentally being knocked off a top
mast into the sea, distance of 1O8 feet.
After that, in Milwaukee, he was acct
dentally thrown from a vessels mast,
sixty-two feet, not being seriously in
lured in these falls. He jumped from
Watson & Co.'s elevator, in Nil
waukee, a distance of seventy-two feet,
turning twice over in his descent There
is no Jump recorded to exceed this. The
next best is Sam Patch's Jump at Nj

intends to repeat his feat of to-day, at

MADAME RENTZ'S MINSTRELS

Another excellent concert last night and a
most charming entertainment by the Bur
lesquers Miss. Rosa Lee was in fine voice
as was also Miss Raynham, Miss Ten Brock
and Miss Mortimore. We seldom hear a
more cultivated voice than Miss Marie Pas
coe's-and what a beautiful figure that lady
has Henshaw and Gilbert fred off fresh
volley of jokes, all very tart and meaty and
acceptable, and the entire performance (Which
was witnessed by one of our best and biggest
audiences of ladies and gentlemen), was high
~ satisfactory from first to last. ''Paris' is,
if anything, more charming burlesque than
"Pippins," and Miss Mabel Santley is abso-
lutely superb. Indeed all the ladies-by all
odds the handsomest we have ever seen here
were very beautiful and full of grace and
animation This troupe of splendid artists
will give but one other entertainment in Car
son. This will take place on Monday night.
Let none fail to witness it,

programme, and the richest and most tempt
ing bill of the season.
