BIondin still Active.

Thirty-one years ago M. Blondin made
his famous journey across Niagara falls
on the high rope. 1t may surprise many
of our readers to learn that the veteran
gymnast is not only still living, but that
he was few days since, although now
in his 67th year, again astonishing large
crowds in the neighborhood of London
in the old style and with the old agility
and daring. The occasion was two
days fete at Brockwell park, Herne hill,
prior to the handing over of the beauti-
tifully wooded estate to the public, and
Blondin gave his high rope (seventy feet)
performance twice each day. The hemp
en- track was not only high, but unusu-
ally long. and upon it he went through
varied entertainment Of more than an
hours duration.
Appearing in glittering brazen armor,
he rang and skipped along the cord blind
folded (by means Of a sack pulled over
his head as well as free, and subsequent
ly carried his son upon his back, stood
upon his head, and rode bicycle with
grooved wheels. His piece de resistance,
however, as in the olden times, was his
appearance with an oil stove strapped to
his back, which stove he balanced las
well as himself) on the center of the rope
while he prepared, cooked and tossed
a savory melette.-Belfast News.

pilrrims to MECCA in Ill Lucls.

Cruel i'll luck has befallen some of the
Indian pilgrims to Mecca this year. The
pilgrim steamer Deccan, which left Bonn
bay for Jeddah on the nth of June, had
on board more than 1900 of these pious
Mohammedans, packed, it is said, as
usual, 'elike herrings in a barrel" 1t is
not surprising that during the voyage
six cases Of cholera occurred. This led
to the ship being detained in quarantine
at the great Red sea port for ten days.
When this period had elapsed another
case was declared, which involved a sec
ond quarantine.
By this time the period of the sacred
ceremony Of walking round the kaabah
or temple of the prophet and kissing the
black stone said to have been given by
an angel to Abraham was at an end, and
the poor pilgrims having spent all they
had upon this pious duty were compelled
to return as they came. 1t is painfully
significant that the Deccan brought back
1872 persons less than she took out. a
similar incident, it is said, has not oc-
Cured for more than half century. It
is regarded by the faithful as visitation
of divine displeasure. London News.
