Captain Webb's Body Found Floating in
 the Niagara-Fully Identified.

Captain Webb's Body Found Floating i'm
 the Niagara-Fully Identified.
 SUSPENSION BRIDGE, NIAGARA FALLS, July 29.-The body of Captain Webb, the famous English swimmer, who lost his life on the afternoon of the 24th inst. while attempting to swim through the whirlpool rapids, was found floating in the river near Lewiston, four miles below the head of the rapids at half-past ten o'clock yester lay forenoon It was first discovered by R. w. Turner, la- borer employed near the river bank, who, in company with Mir. Robinson, took it to small boathouse on the American shore near by where it was at once identified as that of the brave captain. The body is but little disfgured and still has on the red silk trunks worn by the captain when he made his fatal plunge. His right hip is considerably abraid- ed and there are several black and blue spots on the head and shoulders giving evil -dence of his having been bruised while the blood was still in circulation. At the in- quest held this afternoon verdict of Found drowned" was rendered. During the examination of the body ragged cut was discovered on top of the head. The cut was about three inches in length and was opened sufficiently to expose the skull. It had the appearance of being cut by rock or other hard rough substance, and is supposed to have been done at the entrance to the whirlpool where the rocks in places project above the surface of the water, and where the current is widest. This wound was considered sufficient in itself to have caused death and it is thought that he sank imme- diately after receiving it. Mr- Frederick Kyle, Webb's manager, sent a dispatch from Boston offering $10O for the recovery of the body.

Mr.. Lcmp's Opinion Of Idaho.

John Lemp, who has just returned
from trip through Oregon, Ca!ifor.
mia and Nevada, says that Idaho sur.
passes them all as the country for a
laboring man to live in, and that no.
where did he see place where the
great majority of the people were do
ing SO we'll as in Boise City and val.
ley. Mr.. Lemp is man of much
practical experience anu close OBJ
server, and perhaps no one in Idaho
would examine into the condition
OF the laboring classes everywhere,
IN travelling, more rigidly than he !;
aud when he says that the States
through which he went are not to be
compared with this Territory as a
poor mans country, he knows what

Shooting Niagara Falls.

One must 60 away from home to
hear the news. In an editorial on
Captain Webb's proposal to swim the
whirlpool Of Niagara, the London
Telegraph favofs its readers with the
information that the falls themselves
had been safely shot in . boat. Ac-
cording to the Telegraph the exploit
was performed many years ago by a
chief Of the Tonemanta Indians, and
his exploit is thus described:
"This chief, being in liquor, went
to sleep in u canoe, which was moored
in little creek, just out of the ride of
the Niagara river, above the rapids.
He had bottle of rum in the breast
of his blanket coat. His squaw, find
ing she could neither wake him or get
possession of the bottle, lost her tenn
per and showed her canoe out into the
river. 1t floated down with the cur
rent, and the drunken Tonemanta did
not awake till the roar and tossing of
the rapids brought him suddenly to
his senses. Then, however, he took
in the situation at a glance. His life
probably was lost, but there was still
time to prevent the waste of good
liquor. So he raised the bottle to his
lips and took drink proportionate to
the occasion. That draught saved
him. 1t brought back skill and cour-
age. He grasped his paddle, and had
v'gor enough to guide his fraii bark
over the CLASSY curve, and he was then
sitting upright, safe and sound in his
boat, affectionately pressing the bottle
in his hand.''
The Telegraph comes about as near
the truth in this story as an English
journal usually does in dealing with
news. 1t would be inter-
esting to his heirs if the.editor of the
Telegraph should attempt to repeat

Not New to Him.

A group of ladies and gentlemen
sat upon the hotel veranda. The sub
ject of their conversation was bathing.
and right merrily the nimble tongues
ratified. Miss a. had to tell how
dreadfully frightened she was when
she first entered the surf; Mrs. B.
gave her infallible rules against
chills; young Mr.. c. boosted OF his
natatorial exploits, while the ladies
gazed upon him admiringly; Miss D.
told for the twentieth time about her
''such time this morning in the salt
sea waves" and messieurs and mes.
danes the remainder of the alphabet
added each his and her quota to the
edifying conversation. As Fogg, who
sat near the party, had said nothing
all this time, it occurred to one of the
ladies' to remark.
81 suppose our conversation doesn't
interest you very much, Mr.. Fogg?"
"Not particularly" he replied; "the
subject hasn't the charm of newness
to me, you see. l frequently battle

A CROP WITHOUT IRRIGATION.
Thirty Bushels Of Spring Wheat per
Acre Grown on Soldier Creek.


w. w. Smith, of Soldief Creek,
Camas Prairie, brought to the TINES
office, this morning, dozen stalks of
wheat raised on Squire Abbott's land,
about half mile from Mr.. Smiths,
the kernels of which are unusually
large, plump, and full. This wheat
is of the Defiance spring variety, and
was raised without any irrigation
whatever. 1t was sown May 5, on
land that had only been broken this
spring, and the yield will be all of 30
bushels per acre, with every proba-
bility, based upon results heretofore
obtained, of yield of at least 40
bushels next year. Mr. Smith is al
old settler from Iowa, and is aston
ished at this, as the experience with
new broken land has heretofore been
that it had to "rot" the first year,
while only a small crop could be
gathered the second, and he says that
he is satisfied that Camas Prairie will
prove to he one of the best winter
wheat growing countries in the world,
and that the yield per acre will be
greater than in Michigan, New York,
and even Canada West.

Two ladies, one elderly, the other
young sauntered T. acounter in Tiffany's
and asked to see some pocket match
safes.
"Of any particular kind, or at any
special pricey" the salesman inquired
mo. We want to select one from
the prettiest you have, y the young lady
replied.
The salesman showed several in
bronze with raised designs in silver.
One of the designs was a cluster of
small growing daisies and a bug hover
ing yer it. The salesman pressed a
spring, the top fey open, there was a
crack and a flash, and a wax match
stood bolt upright ignited. The hinge
on which the lid worked was perforat-
ed, and by a peculiar spring the match
Immediately beneath the p~erforation
was thrust through it and ignited by
the friction.
"How much is this?n the elderly lady
asked.
twenty-five dollars, madam"
"Oh, mamma" the young lady said
in an undertone. II don't care to get
a match safe as cheap as that for him. "
Let me see some other Designs
said the elderly lady.
She was shown some more in copper,
with raised letters and monograms in
silver, and at about the same price.
The young lady shook her head mega
lively at these, and also at some, Deauti
full safes of fine tortoise shell with S2fer
clasps.
"You can have initials in silver or
gold on these, the salesman remarked.
''and on these of alligator skin.m
But none of those was satisfactory,
and the salesman brought out another,
saying: ''These range from $50 to
$175."f HE% Xw0FN MAM
The most expensive n was a safe of
gold betten and Jumped SO that it look
ed like rich ore. A diamond sunk in
one of the Jumps indicated the position
of the spring. The cheapest was of
beaten silver with aFruby. From the
lot the young lady selected one in bea-
ten gold, with burned gold designs and
a small diamond. 1t cost. $125. A
man looking through the entire lot
would have undoubtedly selected that
In copper and silver first shown as the
most tasteful and practicable.

Out In the dark, where the waves roll high,
And the sleepless ocean curls and tum-

The pilot stares at the broad, black sky,
While the thunder ever nearer grumbles.
But the ship must still sail on, perforce,
With none but he 20 guide her course.
Though a warning voice through the air
hath sped,
And chilled his heart with its message
dread:
'Take carei take caret
To the windward bear.
Breakers aheadl Breakers aheadi
Pilot, bewarei /.
There are breakers aheadi',
Hard n starboard he puts the ship,
From the line where the dim gray surf
assemblies;
Though white in the cold is his tight-drawn
lip
His heart fears not, his hand never
trembles.
He thinks not of home, nor Of life and death,
Nor his mothers prayer, nor his sweet
hearts faith.
He moves not a muscle, he breathes not a
breath,
But holds right on, for the keen voice
saith;
Keep thereI Keep theref
To the windward bear.

The Best Receipt for q Long Life.

Apropos Of Sir Moses Montefiore,
whose approaching entry on his hun
dredth year is a subject of such general
congratulation, what is the best receipt
for a very long lfe-supposing a man
to consider it an object worth attain
ing? Milton laid stress on ''the rule of
not too much,n which is no doubt an
excellent one, but vague in its applica-
ton. Moreover, Milton followed his
own advice, and yet failed to live sc
years. Fontenelle, whose life embraced
almost exactly a century-11th of Feb
ruary, 1857, to 9th of January, 1757,-
was formally asked his opinion ON this
we1ghty question, and replied that he
ascribed his length of days to two
maxims he had LAID down for himself
and rigidly adhered to-the first, every
body Is right" the second, ''every-
thing Is possible The late Canon
Beadon was less sententious, and
would laughingly explain that he had
reached a hundred simply by never
wearing an overcoat. 1t was either he
or another centenarian who said he had
never eaten cold meat, but always hot,
and thus saved his digestion from pre-
mature exhaustion owing to double
work. 1t is related of Lord Mansfield
that whenever Il hale and hearty old
man gave evidence beforehim ,he would
question the witness in a friendly way
as to his habits. with the result that he
found every one to be an early riser.
The topers are said to have been as
numerous as the water-drinkers; which
is propable enough, the latter being an
extremely limited section Of the Eng
lisn people in the eighteenth century.

More French Preten dsrs

The children of the pretender Naun-
dorf, q German matchmaker. who re-
presented himself as the son of Louis
XVI, have addressed q letter to the
french nation beginning ''Frenchmen.
in which they deny the claim OF the
late Comte de Chambord, or of the
present Princes of the House of Orleans
to be considered the heirs OF the French
throne. They sign their names Louis
Charles de Bourbon, ""Charles E1monI
do Bourbon" and ''Adelberth de Bour-
bon," the last being a Captain in the
Dutch army. They allege that thu
sovereigns who have governed France
1898 have deceived the people in con-
cealng from them the fact that the I'M
fortunate SOL of Louis XVI was saved
from the Temple where he was placed
In charge of Simon, the cobbler. TINS,
they say, is nowadays a matter Of his
tory. The usurpers of the legitimate
nights have sacrificed his interests TO
their cruel ambitions, and the fact that
these have gone unrecognized has given
rise to the parties which divided the
people, tear them asunder and drag
them to their ruin. They wish to pro
test against the theory that the descend
ants OF Philippe Egalite are heirs to
the throne in order that they may pre-.
serve France from the lowest OF degra-
dations.
