BIondin's Feat Recalled.

In the whirigig of momentous
world events it is not strange that
there should pass almost unnoticed a
few days ago the fifty-eighth ami
versary of Blondin's exploit of cross
ing Niagara gorge on four-inch
tight rope, feat that still stands as
the acme of daring and nerve. One
of the thousands of spectators that
lined the river bank was the prince
of Wales, late King Edward This was
the first time anyone had crossed Nj
agara gorge on rope. Blondin car
ried man on his shoulders on one
trip, wheeled a wheelbarrow over on
second trip, and on third trip car
ried stove on his balancing rod and
fixing it on the rope, cooked cakes and
threw them to people in small boats
below on the river Blondin was after
ward killed In Paris.
He made a test in 1859, and in the
following year successfully car
ried out his feat, October 10, 1850.

upon him the responsibility Of eonsid-
ering the merits Of the claims and the
persons to whom payment is made.
Il is the desire Of the Director Cen
eral that justice shall be done to all
employees who are injured in the
discharge Of their duties This does
not mean that yerdicts based upon
prejudice or passion shall be paid or
that large sums shall be paid by the

itors who have no claim upon the Gov

sider the merits in determining what
