Shooting the Rapids.

c. D. Graham, a native of Philadelphia,
and cooper by trade, went through the
Whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Falls on
Sunday of last week in cask that he built
for that purpose. With Graham inside
the barrel was towed out to where the
current caught it, and the stream carried
it on towards the whirlpool. At first it
moved slowly along, then faster and faster,
until the mad current dashed it on with
its full force. The cask bounded up and
down over the great waves, and turned
several complete somersaults, but generally
speaking the wider portion remained up
psrmost, although it twirled around like q
top. The cask kept pretty we'll in the
centre of the river until it reached the
whirlpool, when it struck strong side
current, and was carried swiftly through,
reaching the waters beyond in safety
From here the journey was comparatively
quiet. The cask foated on toward Lewis
ton right side up and all danger was pass
ed. 1t was picked up at Lewiston, about
five miles below the starting point, and
Graham crawled out of the barrel unin-
jured, with the exception of slight bruise
on the arm, which he received when pass
ing through the whirlpool. He remarked
"When struck the eddiss it was one con-
tinued round of jerks, but 1 am not hurt
bit.''
The cask is feet long, 33 inches in
diameter At the widest portion, % inches
at the top and 16 inches at the bottom
1t is bound around with iron hoops, and
weighed 25Opounds. The ballast which wal
attached to the cask to keep it in position

In the Fourth Congressional district Mr.

In the Fourth Congressional district Mr..
Findlay, it is still claimed, vii! be can
I1ou6l6 lie independent ticket. Both
Judge Fisher and Mr.. Rayner have been
spoken Of as his opponent The Repabii-
cans profess to be much encouraged by
The condition of things, and claim that
they can slip in straighout Republican
between the regular Democratic nominee
and Mr. Findlay's Democratic iniepeud-
ents 1t is confidently believed, however,
in political circles that even Democratic
split would not give Il sfraightout Repub-
lican q chance, because the mos active,
iute ligent organizers and workers Of the
Republican patty are still in office, and
are hiding behind the civil service regu a
tions too timidly to be available They
will obey literally the Presidents recent
letter, and will refrain from political ac
tivity. As they are the people who have
heretofore paid the assessments and sup
piled the sinews of war, and as they were
the active and effective organizers they
will he too sorely missed for the Republi-
can party yet to make an aggressive fight.
1t is claimed by Republican leaders that
the keeping of these men IN office is a
great blow to the party. While it does
not change the hear and convictions of
the men it ties them to political idieness.
Indeed some of them do not vote, and
some encourage their relatives to help the
regular Democrats in the hope that such
service may save their official heads \
knowledge of this leads the Democrats TO
regard Republican opponent here as not
by any means formidable this fall.-Balti-
