The Twenty-nnh Contest.

II there has been any calculation that
Thomas W. Phillips, the Harmony nomi-
nee for Congress in the Twenty-fifth dis
trict, will be defeated on Tuesday next, so
as TO allow the Democratic candidate TO
win the seat, il is rather more likely than
not to prove serious error. Mr. Phillips
is an honest and popular man His in
tegrity and straightforwardness are perfect
ly well understood by the people; and he
il nobody's servant in politics. That both
bargaining and bribery were conspicuousiy
involved In the first Republican nomina-
tion no one pretcnds to dispute. Mr.
PHILIPPE, tho second nominee, represents
the opposition TO these agencies.
There are many Democrats who on an
issue Of this sort, and in support Of such a
fair man as Mr.. Phillips, should be able to
rise superior TO party lines. At the time
they are commencing numerous element
in the Rcpu blican party for taking stand
in the Governorship contest outside Of par
tisan influence, 1t might be consistent and
becoming to exhibit, for their own part,
something Of like spirit ia the Twenty
fifth district At all events, until the ma
tjonal councils Of the Democracy change

tinctly be subserved by sending Repub-
licans to Congress -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Jack Carroll, swimmer, diver, man-o'-

scaler, swayed back and forth Just trlfe
less than go feet from earth at the noon
hour to-day, when thousands going to and
from work stopped and craned their necks,
expecting every moment to see him fall to
ground, says Boston dispatch to the
Chicago Herald. He was in a swinging
chair, suspended by slender rope, and the
force of the wind, that blew fully
forty miles an hour, rendered his
task one of deadly peril. Carroll
was attaching a Lightning rod to
new chimney at the electric-power station
on Albany street, the most lofty structure
In Boston to-day, and one of the largest
chimneys in the world A stout rope had
been run up the inside of tie chimney
through blocks and down the outside to the
ground again. Then Jack fastened to it his
sling, with stout plank for a seat. The
wind blew so fearfully that guy-ropes had
to be suspended from tho top. His seat
had an arrangement on the ends so that it
could be attached to these ropes and slide
between them, else the wind would have
blown him out SO far that he could not
have reached the chimney at all. Used
as he was to such trips. it seemed only
joke to him. But the wind was a little

fastenings still more secure. Then he went
up again and commenced work, fastening
the thin sirius of metal to the iron inserted
IN the patchwork done as the masons pro-
crossed upward. The wind still blew him
out SO far that he had to unlock his seat
from the guide ropes and use his feet on
them to pull him toward the chimney. just
under the bulging head of the chimney the
work was most difficult, but he effected it
safely. Then he worked along downward.

Sometimes the dikes, however carefully

follow. In threatened places guards are
stationed at intervals, and a steady watch is
kept up night and day. AT the first signal
OF danger every Dutchman within hearing
of the starting bell is ready to rush to the
rescue. When the weak spot is discovered,
what do you think is used to meet the
emergency? What but straw-eyerywher

The celebrated case Of John Blyew has
ended. says Vanceburg (Ky.) dispatch to
the Cincinnati Enquirer. After twelve
hours deliberation the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty, fixing his punishment in the
penitentiary for life. He murdered all of a
colored family except two little picannies-
being family of six-four of whom were
literally hacked to pieces with an ak. The
cabin presented shocking sight on a Sab
bath morning in August, 1865. There lay
the llfeless body of Jack Foster with
twenty-one cuts on the head
BY his side was the body of his wife with
six gashes on her head and as manv on her
back. showing that death came to them
while fighting to protect each other. In a
bed near by was found the dead body of
Fosters mother, with her skull split in
twain. Then trail of blood was followed
to the house of Fred Nichols, 200
yards distant, and there Richard Fos-
two wounds on his head from which he
died that day, but not until he told who the
murderers were. One little girl had two
wounds on her head, which were shown to
the jury In this trial, but she was not per-
mitted to testify, as she was only years old
at the time of the massacre.
The State and defense were both ably
represented by counsel, but the ingenuity
and ability OF defendants counsel, although
twenty-five years have elapsed since the
deed was committed. could not deter or
prevent jury from inflicting just pun
ishment on the guilty ones. One member
OF the jury Is especially to be commended.

guilty against John Blyew would carry with

The girls figure was slender, her lively face
was softly tinted, her eyes were blue and in

daintily before her, says writer In the New
