THROUGH NIAGARA RAPIDS.
Carlisle ID. Graham Ftfsh Success.
ful Voyage Through the Rap
tds In . Barrel.

Niagara Falls, n. ", July 1A--
About three thousand persons saw
Carlisle ID. Graham make his fifth sue
cessful voyage through the Whirlpool
rapids in a barrel. Sunday afternoon.
The barrel is of locust wood. oval
shaped. except that il has a fiat head;
Il is about five feet long, 10 inches In
the head. With its 100 pounds of bal
last il weighs ,6j pounds. The start
was made from the Maid of the Mist
landing below the falls. The barrel
was caught in an eddy and circled
about little above the cantilever
bridge for a quarter of an hour. The
stronger current in the middle of the
stream finally jcrked it out of the
eddy into the foaming waters of the
rapids. Passing under the second
bridge the barre, had a narrow es-
cape from being dashed to pieces
against the stone abutments of the
bridge. The passage through the
rapids was swift. 1t took the barrel
five minutes TO reach the eddy from
the starting point and 90 minutes to
get out of il. but il took only three
and half minutes to pass through
the rapids and the whirlpool, dis.
tance of about mile. At no time dur
ing the passage through the rapids
was the barrel lost sight of. 1t was
taken from the water after il had cir.
cled about in the whirlpool for few
minutes. Graham was slightly bruised
about the elbows and knees, but be

mustache were curled in the best style
of the tonsorial art. Withal, he was q
handsome creature. and could hardly
wonder that the girls adored him.
As to the bride, / regretted to observe
that she was in all details of dress as
different from her race as possible. Her
face was rather pretty. and she had a
natural grace. but she had spoiled all
by making Of herself a bad copy Of an
American.
So they passed by amid cheers. and
Nicola remained quiet by the door. Ap-
parently his desire for vengeance had
exhausted itself in conversation. I be-
gan TO despise him. for ne had before
his eyes the sight of Marta, who would
have fallen but for the wall behind her
and whose hands were clasped upon her
breast as II there were a knife ia her
heart.
I went out to the street 10 tell White
about Nicola. but failed to ind him aft
er considerable search. On my return
met Viani. who told me that 1 should
find 4 seat reserved for me in the ban
quet hall.
When I entered, observed .mmedi-
ateIy and with surprise that Romano
was not there. The chair by the brides
side was empty, and there seemed to be
some embarra Ssment because Of this
circumstance. I was informed that Ro-
mano had been called out upon some

An Excellent Retnrt

Dr.. Samuel Johnson, the great Eng
fish writer, had no love for Scotland or
the Scots. He said many severe things
about the land and the people, but he
often got as good as he gave.
On his return from his famous tour
in that country a Scottish lady living
in London invited him TO dinner and,
out Of compliment TO his recent journey,
had hotch potch served during the
meal After the doctor had partaken

a light that would drown that of the
