RIedern Miracle.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. IA young Nor
Wegian named Rosendahl, from Minnea-
polls, gave an exhibition yesterday of
walking on the water. 1t was complete
success. With his feet secured in two
small boat like structures the young man
walked rapidly and easily ON the surface
of the water. The, popularity of Rosen-
dahl's invention is the possibility of
making progress by an actual walking
movement. There was no striding back
or sideways, but straight forward walk
at the rate of at least three miles per hour
Thousands of spectators Witnessed the
feat and the crowd was very enthusiastic
over the young mans success. The swell
occasioned by passing tugs did not dis
turb the walker to any noticeable degree.

Comments OF the New York Press.
New YoRK, Sept. S.-The Times saws of
the Vermont election: The most sang
uine of the estimates which were other
than mere guesses, gave the republicans
this year the majority OF 1876, between
5000 and 24,000 but all returns so far re.
ceived shew that the majority of 1879 has
been exceeded.
v, T.sl IL
gain in the lS1 towns not fully reported,
as they have gained in towns heard from,
their majority will be $3.50. This would
exceed the widest anticipations of the
most sanguine republicans. 1t would
exceed the largest republican majority
for governor in the last decade. The re-
publicans have already $4,000 majority
in ITO out Of 23l towns, and they wuuid
have been satisfied with 10000 in the
whole state.
