On Sunday last Thomas Boyd, a
clock k-tinker, claiming Belfast, Ireland,
as his home, made perilous leap from
the railroad bridge at Mumfordsville,
kentucky, into Green River, descent
of one hundred and twenty-five feet.
lie was clothed i'm black pants, white
vest, tight-fitting scull cap, and in
his stocking feet. An immense crowd
was gathered to witness the perform
ance. Boyd cooliy and deliberately
walked out to the middle OF the bridge,
and when all was hushed and still at
the words of command "Oue, two,
three," he dashed head foremost into
the waters below. For a few seconds
he was underneath the water; but as
soon as he appeared d above the surface
swimming Justify, tremendous cheer
went up from both banks of the river,
and the canoe that padded HIM ashore
was met by hundreds of exciting peo-
pie, and Boyd's cap was filed to over
flowing with silver.
He is the same man that jumped off
the Ohio Falls Bridge; but this is at
least thirty feet higher, and is decid-
edly the highest jump and the most
daring feat of the kind ever perform
ed in America. Saturday lie proposes
to jump off the Railroad Bridge a,

you some little idea of the tide of emil
grafton going West.
I noticed that along the entire route
from Ravenna to this place the wheat
looks very promising for a full crop.
After reaching Kansas City we found
the ground dry and in fine condition
for farming, and farmers were very
busy putting in their spring crops.
The roads are as hard and smooth as
we have them in Ohio in July, and
have been in that condition all winter.
People in Ohio can hardly realize the
feelings of a person who has been
buried in the mud for three or four
months when he once more steps his
foot on dry ground.
About the first person we met on ar
irving here was Mr.. Olin, formerly
of Kent, Ohio. who is Principal in the
Peabody High School, in which there
are enrolled about four hundred schol-
ars.
find, upon inquiry, that parties
coming here to spend few weeks in
looking at the country can get good
accommodations for about four to five
dollars per week. Respectfully,

AS Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
is a candidate for President it becomes
of interest to know what kind of a
man he is. Senator Edmunds was a
member of the Electoral Commission
of 1876. He solemnly asserted before
the passage of the bill creating that
body that If its object was not to con-
slider all the evidence affecting the
votes of the disputed States, he would
vote against it, and then when the
time came he voted against the intro
duction of the least fact bearing upon
the case. Ii this was not infamous
nothing is infamous. Mr.. Edmunds
recently made an elaborate speech in
favor of retaining the power in Re-
publican hands to exercise partisan
control of elections ! Such a man is
too intolerant and bigoted to be Pres.
ident; but we admire the mountain
GUS assurance that enables him to i'm
agine himself fit person to fill SO ex-
alted position,-IPlain Dealer.
And this is the man who, it is said,
Hayes proposes to reward for his base
treachery and htpocricy, by appoint
ing him to seat ON the United States
Supreme Court, an office for life, and
it is expected that, if Hayes should
send up his name, Democratic Sena-
tors will walk up to the scratch and
vote for his confirmation without hes
itatiOn.

THE sharp practice of the Blaine adj
herents in Kansas in securing the con :
troll of the Republican convention OF
that State has resulted in bolt of two
of the Congressional districts, and the
selection of men to represent them at
Chicago pledged to support Giant.
The fight was bitter one, the factions
being very nearly equal in point of
strength. The instructions for Blaine
were voted amid the greatest coniu-
sion and open threats of rebellion.
The boiling gathering was held in
harmony among the participants, but
with threatening and slaughter against
those who had placed them in a false
position before the country. 1t is now
evident that, whichever of the two
rival candidates wins the day at Chi
cago, lively opposition will be de-
veloped in Kansas against his election.

people going West, so that we had just
barely standing room; no chance for
all to be seated. until we reached Mans

were mostly from about Syracuse, N.
Y, and going to Kansas. The expert
ence we had at Ravenna was repeated

Fthoughtfully handled, and some strong
points made on the too frequent prac.
tice of the laiety in patronizing the
bold pretender and sdvertizing qnack

of sure cures. The Doctor would not
lessen the importance of literary quail

sible mental training and application
in the broad field of medical knowl-
edge. The essay was discussed by

The Boston Transcript, Sherman

that when General Grant was Presi-
dent of the United States che exhibit
ed a wonderful lack of those faculties
necessary to good government, select
ing for his intimate friends and adyis-
ers men who disgraced the Republican
party and the nation." That is all
very true, and it ia what the Demo-
Gratis asserted during Grants admins

nounced by the Republican papers
and politicians throughout the coun-
try as disloyal traitors and secession

The Republicans are forced to con-
fess that the Ohio Penitentiary and
others of the institutions of the State
have been well and faithfully managed
during the past two years, and their
reorganization is demanded purely on
political grounds TO put Democrats
who have faithfully discharged their
duties out of Office to give place to
hungry Republicans. Last year they
set up hideous howl against theDem-
Ocratic Legislature for reOrganizing
the public institutions. But the pres
ent Legislature renders the O'Connor
concern respectable in comparison
with it.

abolition of the property qualification
for suffrage. In this little State, W hose

SO ignorant, is allowed to vote, but a
foreigner, no matter how well quail

the right of suffrage.
