complain, and justly that promises have not been
kept. their supplies of provisions have been either
withheld or have been insufficient in quantity and
totally unfit in quality. The chiefs of the BlnCkfcet

have protested again and again on this subject.
Now the British settlers are encronching on tho

Bicycle Riding in Mid Alr---Lavvs of
GravitatiOn Defied.

An extraordinary performance took
place at the Circus CIV. W. Coles, last
evening, which will bear special men,
ton, as the like of it was certainly never
before seen in this city. A single cable,
of probably two inches in thickness, stood
stretched from one large pole to another,
a distance Of about sixty feet, and e!e-
waited some fifty feet in the air.. BY aid
of rope ladder, the performer climbed
from the ground to the elevated cable.
A Bicycle was hauled up to him from be-
low, and placed upon the wire. The ar.
list mounted the Bicycle, and commenced
his perilous performance. Starting out
upon the wire, he crossed it rapidly, the
wheels revolving rapidly till he reached
the opposite end. The suddenness of
the feat astounded the audience-cer-
tainly it was not prepared for such a
scene. Bicycle kept it and the rider in
perpendicular position, but the next
move dispelled this theory, for backing
the bicycle slowly until it reached the
center, he stopped dead still. The band
ceased playing, aud the audience appar-
emily stopped breathing, for a most death
like stiffness pervaded the amphitheater,
the rider suddenly dismounted, which
was certainly the most difficult and non
plussing feat he had as yet accom-
plish ed, requiring nicely of balance
simply unbelievable. Standing upon
the wire he rested himself upon the BIZ
cycle, he'd in one hand, thus of course
retaining his equilibrium. Now that he
was safe, the enthusiasm of3the audience
escaped, and such cheering, hallooing
and waving Of hats and handkerchiefs
was never excelled.
The above is an extraordinary recital.
The reader must be prepared for more
astounding one. A couple Of ropes
shaped like a trapeze, were given to the
B!cJclist, and by him attached to the
Bicycle, swinging below it. He again
mounts the Bicycle, throws rope to the
ground, and two young men climbed
hand over hand, reached and seated
themselves In the trapeze. The Bicycle
rider propelled his vehicle back and
forth, the men below executing the or
binary trapeze feats, and as a fitting con-
clusion to the act, giving the Bicycle q
rapid start, he stands upon one foot

Editor Transcript:-We would say to the
voters of Frankfort and Grand Meadow that
signed the petition for r. A. Donaldson for
County Commissioner, that the petition was
sent to T. T. Mcintyre, to be presented to the
Appointing Board. The Board say they new
er saw the petition. We, the friends of r. A.
Donaldson, would like to know what has be-
come of the petition, and why it was sup
pressed. An explanation is now in order. -
THE above communication was mailed to
us by A. S. Hunt, Grand Meadow, with a re-
quest that we should insert, and "oblige
many subscribers We have taken pains to
inquire of Mr.. Mcintyre regarding the Dom
aldson petition, and he emphatically replies
thac he did notify Messrs. Wyckof and Cam
eron, of the Appointing Board. soon after
receipt of the petition, that he had the said
petition in his possession, and asked them
for an opportunity to present the same to the
full Board, before the appointment should be
made. Notwithstanding this opportunity was
promised him, the appointment was made
without notice. This is Mr.. McIntyre's
statement of the case. Mr.. Wyckof says Mr..

Return Of Geo. w. Merrick.

The readers of the TRANsCRIPF have al
ready been advised of the sudden disap-
pearance OF George W. Merrick, now of the
grain commission firm of Merrick & Lindman,
Milwaukee, but. heretofore for many years
associated with Andrew Knox in the hard
ware business in this city. It was the gener-
ally accepted idea that Mr.. Merrick had been
murdered for the money he was known to
have had about him, but those best informed,
among them his brother, w. n. Merrick, of
this city, inclined to the belief that his brain
had been over-worked to such an extent as
temporarily to dethrone his reason, and that
laboring under an alteration of mind, he had
wandered off. This latter theory proved to
be the true one, for on Saturday of last week,
he was discovered at his own house in this
city. Where he had been, or how he went or
came, no one had the least idea at the time
he was first noticed, Since then however his
friends have been able, by putting this and
that together, to learn with tolerable certain
ty that he has been to Joliet, ILL.,, st. Louis, NO.,
Little Rock, Ark, Dallas and Houston, Texas,
and Omaha. His personal appearance ia
much changed, his hair having been clipped
short, his whiskers and moustache shaved of,
and he having exchanged his Derby hat for q
black soft one. When he was found he was
minus his coat and some articles of jewelry
but his watch and what money he had not used
In his travels, he had upon his person. 1t is
the opinion of DR.. Gibson, who is his attend
ing physician, that his condition is the result
of an overtaxed brain, and the DR.. eptertains
hope that, in very few days, he will again
be as well as usual. Mr.. Merrick's wife, who
has been at Chicago since his departure three
weeks ago, returned to Austin Tuesday, &C.
companied by his brother, L. G. Merrick, of
Chicago. Mr.. Merrick recognizes no one,
and the greater portion Of the time he is tram
sacting business. It is believed that he came
to town week ago last Tuesday, and up to
Saturday, the day he came into his house, he
had remained secreted in the hay-loft of the
barn on the premises, subsisting on few
crackers.
Mr.. Merrick was held in high esteem in
this community, and much interest and SYM
pathy are expressed both for himself and
family.
P. s. Since writing the above, we. are
pleased to learn that Georges reason has
been fully restored.

PROF. sHOEMAKER DEAD.
The Well-KnOwn ElOcutiOnlst Breathes His
Last In AtchisOn, Kansas.

The Well-KnOwn ElOcuti0nlst Breathes His
Last In AtchisOn, Kansas.
Professor Jacob w. Shoemaker, who was
widely known as teacher of elocution in
Philadelphia, died on last Saturday night
at Atchison, Kansas, of consumption,
aged 3S years. For the last three years
Prof. Shoemaker has been in declining
health, and little less than month ago he
left the East for Atchison, hoping that a
brief withdrawal from active business and
a change of air might result favorably.
Last week his wife received information
that he was rapidly failing, and she left at
once to join her husband, but he died be-
fore she reached him. Mrs. Shoemaker,
will bring his remains on to Philadelphia.
Prof. Shoemaker was a native of West
Overton, Westmoreland county, Pa, where
he secured a common school education,
subsequently graduating from the state
normal school .. = -:llersville. AS an old
student of the normal, teacher of pen
manship, and later of elocution, and as an
institute lecturer, he was we'll known in
the educational circles of Lancaster county.

Wine for Females and Invalids.

1t is well known that there are cases when
the most strict advocates of temperance are
obliged to use some sort Of wine, especially
those who are old and infirm. Many weakly
females as well as invalidS and dsbilitated per-
sons in warm weather need q little strengthen
ing wine. The great difficulty has been in pro-
curing a ri wine that is reliable. There are
many cases where wine would be used to great
advantage in place OF alcoholic drinks if only
a genuine article could be had, and upon
which physicians could rely as being strictly
pure, without alcoholic admixture. The Port
Grape Wine of Alfred Speer, of Passaic, New
almost every state and has always been proved
strictly pure and beneficial. This wine is new
being used in hospitals and in families for me-
dicinal purposes, also in churches for commui
niOn services. Mr.. Speer's mode OF conducting
the fermentation is such as to retain the rich
flavor and sweetness of the fruit withoutmuch
fermentation to create stimulative properties

This wine IA endorsed by Drs. Atlee and
Davis, and sold by II. f. Slaymaker.

An Error in the Adjournment Resolution.
The House adjournment resolution
reached the Senate to-day, but up to 2:45
no action was taken. An error in the
phraseology has been discovered,
which may necessitate the reopening
of the whole question. The resolution
as sent to the Senate is in the form of a
joint resolution, whereas it should be
merely a concurment resolution. The for
mer would need approval by Hayes.
