The Trip of the Maid of the Mist.

Philadelphia Record
short sketch of the memorable trip of
the Maid of the Mist, on which were the only
persons who ever went through the whlrl
pool rapids, and the whirlpool ITSELF and
came out alive, will be of interest The boat
which made this trip vas built in 1854. For
awhile she took passengers from both the
American and Canadian shores, and ran up
very close to the foot of the falls. Owing to
some change in her appointments, which
confined her to the Canadian shore for the
reception of passengers, she became unproft-
able Her owner, wishing to leave the
place. determined to sell her, and he
received an offer of little more than half her
cost if he would deliver her at Niagara, op-
posite the fort This he decided to do after
consultation with Joel f. Robinson, who
acted as captain and pilot on her trips under
the falls. Mr.. Robinson consented to act as
pilot for the fearful voyage, and the engineer,
Mr. Jones, agreed to go with him. ma
chinest, Mr.. Mcintyre, volunteered to share
the risk with them. The boat was put in
complete trim, all superfuOus articles being
removed from the deck and hold Notice
was given of the time of starting, and
large crowd assembled to see the fearful
plunge, nc one expecting to see either boat
or crew again after they should leave the
dock, which was just above the railway sus-
pension bridge. About clock in the after
noon of June 15 1861 the engineer took his
place in the hold, and knowing that their
fitting trip would be short at the longest,
set his steam valve at the proper gauge, and
waited the tnkling signal that should
start them on their flying voyage. Robinson
took his place at the wheel and gave the
starting signal. With a shrek from
her whistle and white puff from her escape
pipe, the boat ran up the eddy short dis
tance, cleared the smooth water and shot
like an arrow into the rapid under the bridge
She took the outside curve of the rapid, and
when third of the way down it a jet of
water struck against her rudder, a column
dashed up under her starboard-side, keeled
her over, carried away her smokestack,
started her overhang on that side, threw
Robinson on his back and threw Mcintyre
against her starboard wheelhouse with such
force as to break it through. Every locker
on breathed freer as she emerged shook her
wounded Sides slid into the whirlpool and
for a moment rode again on an even keel.
Robinson rose at once, seized the helm set
her to the right of the large pot in the pool,
then turned her directly through the neck OF
it, Thence, after receiving another drench-
ing from the waves she dashed on without
further accident to the quiet bosom of the
river below Lewiston. The boat was 70 feet
long, with II feet breadth of BEAM feet
depth of hold, and carried an engine of 100
horse power.

Standing beside it at the waters edge, and
considering that the whole volume of the
water in the river is rushing through 1T with
a current whose unbroken surface indicates
its immense depth, the spectator witnesses
manifestation. of physical force which makes
a stronger impression on his mind than even
the great fall itself.
And it was through this foamlng rift into
the great pocket of mighty currents and
mysterious forces, that Webb was carried.
Four minutes after he entered the first wild
rapids, about 800 yards below the bridge, ne
was seen by a small party of spectators who
stood at the landing at the whirlpool rapids
Dead or alive none could say. He was near
ly erect in the water, and was being whlrled
about. Then, as in a flash, the rushing
mountain of foam and roar closed over MN.
One said: HE dove" another, "he was
drawn down" Who knows? He was seen
no more.
The rest of the tale is at hest sorry one.
The few watchers at the whirlpool and on
precarious points below strained their eyes
and saw the swimmers head in every eudY,
every bit of drift or whirling foam. one
gentleman felt sure he saw something that
might have been Webb" carried out OF the
whirlpool on the lower Canadian side and
whirled off down the river Down the
river meant another stretch of five miles OF
sucking currents and laundering waves
whose power no one knew Even II,
after the gyrations and deep submergence
of the whirlpool, the exhausted and
beaten swimmer had been hurled out INTO
the lower rapid, what chance was there then!
A long strip of rapids, gradually smoothing
themselves out into placjd-lookine river,
but really hazardous succession OF cauld-
rons and whirlpools-this lay before him ere
the harbor at Lewiston could be gained, sew
en- miles below. The swim, if powefless
man in the awful clutch of that river can be
said to swim, was about a mile and half,
He was last seen seventeen minutes after he
entered the river.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
1t has been rather a curious question of
late, since the demise of the venerable Arch
bishop, whether Bishop Elder is at present
the Archbishop of the province or not In
quiries among the Catholic clergy of the city
develop the following facts:
Bishop Elder was transferred to the do
cese of Cincinnati from Natchez, Miss, as
cOadjutor to the late Archbishop, Cum jure
SUGGESTIONS" as canonical language puts it;
that is, coadjutor with the right of success
sion. Bishop Elder, therefore, after the
death of the Archbishop, is. to all intents
and purposes, the Archbishop of Cincinnati.
That is, he 10 the Archbishop de iure, but not
de facto. Archbishop de facto he becomes
when he shall have received the pallium
from Rome, which is a solemn confirmation
of the increased authority received from the
Pope However, in this country where the
canon law is not generally established, the
title of Archbishop confers more honor than
authority. He presdes over provincial
councils, and enjoys certain other privileges
but over his suffragan bishops he exercises
no authority whatsoever.

FINDING OF WEBB'S BODY.
The Remains Found Floating in the
River Below Lewiston, n. Y.
The Head Badly Cut and Bruised by Con-
tact with the Rncks-How the Swimmer
Prepared for His Voyage to Death.

QUEENSTOWN, Ont, July 28.-The body of
Captain Webb was found floating in the river
a short distance below Lewiston, n Y, this
afternoon. At the inquest, held this after
noon. verdict of found drowned was rem
dered. During the examination of the body
a ragged cut was discovered on the top of the
head about three inches in length, opened
sufficiently to expose the skull. 1t appeared
to be cut by rock or other hard, rough SUBJ
stance, and is supposed to have been done at
the entrance OF the whirlpool, where the
rocks in places project above the surface of
the water, and where the current is the wild
est. This wound was considered sufficientin
itself to have caused death, and it is thought
he sank Immediately after receiving it. The
body was placed in a coffin and removed in a
hearse to Suspension Bridge, N. Y, where it
will be prepared for shipment to Boston,
where Mrs Webb is residing
The news of-the finding of Webb's remains
caused great excitement at the falls and the
surrounding country, and hundreds of peo-
ple hocked to the scene, among
them the clerks of the hotel
where Webb stopped, and several
parties who had conversed with Webb pre-
vious to his entering McCloy's boat. When
found the body was lying in the position as
sumed by Webb while swimming. The re-
mains were somewhat decomposed There
was also cut extending about four inches
on the right side of the head, while the left
shoulder and both hips bore evidence of
having come in contact with rocks or some
heavy substance, as these portions of the
body were badly bruised and discolored
The body had on when found the scarlet
trunks worn while in the water, which burst
from the body when lifted from the water
The body was somewhat swollen. The face
was bruised in places, but retained asome-
what placid expression.

The Acton Park Assembly.

indianapolis Saturday Herald.
We would remind our contemporaries, and
ourselves as well, that 1.-The Acton Park As
sembly" is not the old-fashioned camp
meeting" 1t is an outgrowth of that, but it
is better. 1t is an attempt to substitute rea-
son and intellig ence for the former fervid
halelujah service of the camp-meeting. In
tnat sense it must be regarded as all advance.
1t is an effort to help liberalize the Methodist
church by keeping it even with the best
thoughts of the age Truth in belief and
honor in conduct make the true morality
and the supreme religion. They are better
than belief in the creeds and disciplines
which have been outgrown by the world.
The Acton Park Assembly, is an effort to
turn the minds of the people into the high
and holy ways OF reason and intelligence.
For that it is to be congratulated, and for that
it should be encouraged.

New HAVEN, Conn, July 2S.-The Supreme
Court decided adverse to Edward Malley, in
the suit brought by him against the insur-
ance company to compel payment of the
policy on his burned dry-goods store. Com
panies holding $127000 insurance refused
payment on the ground that the policies
were made out to Edward Malley, while the
store, when burned, was owned by f. Malley
& Co., the partnership having been formed
shortly before the fire and the policies not
having been changed. The case just decided
was a test case.
