over the Passaic Falls.

PATERSON, N. j., July 28-Nearly
6, ZOO pessons assembled in the vicinity
of Passaic Falls to day, where Professor
Leroux had been advertised to ascend
in balloon 500 fest and then, with only
a parachute in his hand, to jump from
the balloon.
The program was net carried out, but
the 8ronaut entertained the spectators
by jumpiD efom the falls bridge into
the river, q distance of about sixty feet.
In the centre of the bridge long pole
was securely fastened in an upright pc
sition. To this the parachute was held
by q rope. Leroux caught hold of the
small hoop attached to the lower end of
the parachute and swung himself into
midair.
He descended rapidly, the parachute
not filling with air until he was near
the water, and after be had disappeared
beneath the surface the spectators
feared that he might have been injured.
He soon reappeared, however, and
swan around to show that he was not
hurt. Lsroux is confident that he can
Jump 800 feet without injury by the aid
of his parachute. His exhibitions, he
says, are meant to prove the utility OF
this invention as q life-s saving appa-
|ratus.

In Favor OF CreInatIOn

DIR. Charles D. Green, the well-known
surgeon, delivered lecture before the
Cremation Society, Of Philadelphia, a
few evenings ago, urging the expediency
of cremating the dead in order to pre-.
vent poisonous atoms entering into the
organism of the living.
The theory may be right, but the cus-
tom of burying the dead in the ground
cannot be abolished for years to come.
The earth is a great deodorizer, and
there is far less danger of poisonous eff
huvia escaping from graves than Is
imagined By many scientific men.
A greater absurdity was never ad
vanced than the earth is likely to be
rendered unhealthy on account of the
etfete matter which passes into and is
AFFORDED py it.
The process going on converts foul
substances into harmless elements and
makes them contribute TO vegetable as
well as animal life. 1t this were not
so, the earth would loug ere this have
become one vast Golgotha.
While great burial grounds are no
desirable in the heart CT great cities
there will be room in the rural district
for all the dead for tb ~ .ands of year
to come, WITHOUT dAnkel W sLo .11eiCl

as a feast, to which several of his coun-

AN smpor,an, bankrupt DccIsIoa.

Judge Paul yesterday, in the United
States District Court, in an able opin-
ion, decided new AMI Important ques-
ton in bankruptcy in the case of f. j.
Burton, bankrupt. The opinion says
il is a case, SO far as the Court IS in
formed, that has not hcretofors been
judicially settled. II is this; Can
bankrupt become the purchaser of liens
and debts against bis estates in bank
ruptcy aud collect the same for his OTn
use OF the assets in the hands Of the
assignee 20 the exclusion Of sub seq1ent
ieu.holders? Mr.. Burton, the bank
rupt, after receiving his discharge,
bought up certain judgments, liens,
debts against his estates from Slaugh-
tee, p0indextor's administrator, and
others. amounting 10 about $1,000,
and took assignment thereof TO himself,
and claimed tina. be had right to col
lect them out of the assets Of his
estates in bankruptcy, according to tho
priority they held when in the hands Of
the original holders, tho assignees Of
Burton. lie claimed that by virtue Of
his discharge in bankruptcy, he stood in
relation to his estate in bankruptcy as
a disinterestsd person, with right TO
buy his own debts and collect them
ont Of his estate surrendered in bank
ruptcy. Judge Paul decided that the
discharge did not destroy the debt
that it could only be plead as bar to
the remedy for the recovery Of the debt;
that the bankrupt character Of the
debtor was not destroyed by the dis
charge in bankruptcy that the obi
cation to pay his debts remained, and
that in paying these debts he had only
done his duty, and that by taking an
assignment Of them to himself the cha
racters Of the debtor and creditor were
united in the same person and that the
debts were extipguishei. They were
ordered to be stricken from Commits
