sAM PATCH OUTDONE.
Tom BOyd's PerilOus Leap of 12O
Feet Into Green River.

MUNFoRDsvILLE, KY, April ia
few DAYS since Thomas Boyd, clock
tinker, claiming Belfast, Ireland as his
home, came to this place and had no.
tce published in the Hart County Dem
ocrat that he would on Sunday (to-day) J
jump off the rail- DAD bridge across Green
River, structure l25 feet high. At 10
o'clock people began to gather from all
points in the country, and the trains
north and south brought from Bowling
Green, Cave City, Horse Cave, Bacon
Creek and Upton's hundreds more, to
witness the big jump Al II O'Clock al
least 1000 people had collected, eager
and anxious to witness the unparalleled
feat.
When the bridge watchman informed
the impatient crowd that the railroad
company had given him orders to stop
Boyd from jumping, numerous threats
we're made by the most determined to
have him make the leap whether the rail-
road company was willing or not, yet
none were bold enough to place him on
the bridge.
Dissatisfied the crowd maved short
distance up the river and made Boyd
climb sycamore tree about 40 feet and
jump from that. This he did with ease
and dexterity. The crowd cheered furi-
ously, and became so much the more
anxious to see him make the leap from
the bridge.
Finally, as last resort, dispatches
were sent to the proper railroad author
ities in Louisville on the subject, and, IN
reply, word was received that he could
do go under protest and at his own peril.
Clothed in black pants and white vest, a
tight fitting skull-cap and in his stocking
feet, he walked out to the middle of the
bridge as cool and collected as most men
under ordinary circumstances, and laugh
ed and joked a few minutes with the
crowd, when he announced that he was
ready to make the perilous leap.
The immense gathering Of people, so
far beneath. that they looked like pig
mics, was moved by intense feeling, and
became hushed and silent. One, two
three, and the daring diver sprang head
foremost I20 feet down into the water
below. For few seconds he was un-
derneath the water, hut as soon as he ap.
peared above the surface, swimming lus
tily, a tremendous cheer went up from
both banks of the river and the canoe
that padded him ashore was met by hun
dreds of excited people, and Boyd's car
was filled to overfowing With silver.
He is The same man who jumped of
the 0hi:;c Falls bridge; but this is at leas
80 feet higher, and is decidedly the high
est jump and the most daring feat of th'
kind ever performed in America. Sat
urday he proposes to jump off the rail.
road bridge at Bowling Green.

GBA correspondent of the Cincinna.

GyA correspondent of the Cincinna-
ii Commercial, who signs himself Meth
odist' makes complaint Of the burden Of
finding gratuitous food and lodging for
four weeks for the delegates Of the Cen
eral Conference of the Methodist Church
in that city. The Commercial, in reply,
reminds the correspondent that this tax
"origiuates in the system of support for
the ministry of that church" This re-
mark it explains as follows:
"a Methodist minister depends for
his income upon the voluntary offerings
of the church or churches to whose. ser
vices he is appointed by the Annual Con.
ference. If the circuit or station hap
pens to be in a community of wealth,
and the church membership a liberal one,
he may get his full allowance; but as
there are no stipuations, nothing In the
shape of a contract that can be enforced,
he must accept what he can get, be it
less or more-and it is generally less
and thank the Lord it is no worse with
him. We recall one Methodist minister
and he is a representative of thpus-
ands-who was in the active itineracy of
the Caurch for forty-eight consecutive
years, and for twenty of them Presi-
ding Elder, whose receipts averaged less
than S240 year. He was thought to
have Jared well.
If the preachers were paid fixed salar-
les, as those Of the other churches are,
or their services stipulated for at so
much year, they would come to Gen
eral Conferences, if chosen delegates by
the Annual Conferences, prepared to pay
their own hoard bills and select their
own quarters. AS it is, they must look
to the local membership of the city hon.
ored by the General Conference to help
them out. Like the Apostles, they take
neither purse nor scrip with them, and
look to Providence with as much conf.
dence as the old prophet iu the wilder
ness, to provide for them. TheSMetho
dist Episcopal Church is now SO vel
anchored in the land, and has grown sc
great in numbers and wealth, that tbt
time seems to have cone for thorough
revision of the itinerant plan, and, abov,
all, for doing away with the voluntary
feature of the system Of ministeria
maintenance"

How ro mAKr moss nAsKErs.

Very beautiful baskets for holding
flowers can be made of the long and
moro feathery kinds of mosses. We
have made them often, and never do
either garden or wild flowers look more
lovely than when clustered upon ver-
dant border of that most delicate and
beautiful material, which, by proper
management, may be made to preserve
its freshness and brilliancy many
months. We will here give directions
for their manufacture: A light frame.
of any shape you like, should be made
with wire and covered with common
pasteboard or calico, and the moss,
which should first be well picked over
and cloansed from any bits of dirt or
dead leaves which may be hanging
about it, gathered into little tufts and
sewed with coarse needle and thread
to the covering, SO as to clothe it thickly
with n close and compact coating, tax
ing care that the points of the moss are
all outward. A long handle, made in
the same manner, should be attached to
the basket, and q tin or other vessel
filed with either wet sand or water,
placed within, to hold the flowers. BY
dipping the whole structure into water
once in three or four days, it's verdure
and elasticity will be fully preserved,
and block of wood, about an. inch
thick and stained black or green, if
placed under the basket, will prevent
oil risk o damage to the table from
moisture. To make such baskets affords
much pleasant, social amusement for
children, who viii find constantly re-
newed pleasure in varying their appear
