THE ROPE WALKER AT NIAGARA. Mr. Willis, in the Home Journal, thus de- scribes M. Blondin’s passage over the Niagara river in the character of an Indian chief :— “ After ‘being dressed in his flesh-colored tights, wampum apron, bead neclace and moe- casins, he came out (with his particularly uo- combed sandy hair uncovered as yet by its crown of feethers) to look a little into the ar- rangements for his performance. For fifteen or twenty minutes the little Tecumseh was hopping about, trying the cords which held the ropes to the stanchions, cocking the pistol which was to be fired to announce his return, ving directions for the music, binding the igatures of his ance-pole, and answering very merrily all the jokes and questions of the lookers-on- In his motions, back and forward, he took no regular step; he simply bounded. Like « child's soap p Bas the difficulty seemed to be to get to the ground—to keep from floating away. During all this time, of course, I had the desired opportunity for the study of his face. It was one which nineteen Persons out of twenty, on seeing it in a crowd, would pass over as wholly uninteresting—the twentieth and more observant man giving him a good look; as one of the most coolly de- termined and honestly spunky little fellows he he had ever seen. The top of his skull, of course, is very _— with his bump of firm- ness. His cheek-bones are prominent, his nose straight and with thin expanded nostrils, his lips thin and firm, his cheeks hollow and pal and he wears a sandy moustache and imperial —a la Louis Napoleon Though anything but a beauty, he is a man it is impossible not to take afancy to. Retiring to his shanty fora minute or two, after all was arranged, his re- @ppearance was announced by a grand utmost- iaha from the band, and forward came Tecum- seh, with a = crown of many-colored feath- ers on his head—not with a slow pace, as would be expected from an Indianchief, but dancing a jig all the way to the precipice. It was cu- rious, however, to see that the smile on his lip, and his other signs of merriment for the many, were altogether mechanical and arti- ficial, while the closely-pressed eyelid, through which his keen blue eye was hardly visible, showed the inner mind’s utter absorption and concentration in the work he had todo. The rope was drawn from shore to shore, 800 feet across and 250 feet high above the Niagara rap- ids—a perilous bridge for human feet to walk! I took Eola of his arm as he stood trying the rope fora moment with the ball of ‘his foot Tt was like @ bunch of iron wire, wholly unim- pressible. And away he went, his moccasined teet hugging the two sides of the swaying cable, his balance-pole playing up and down, and his little figure gradually diminishing as he walked steadily on and reached the middle of the chasm, where he proceeded to stand upon one leg and hold the other out at right angles The spectators, of course, were all breathlessly silent; though [ found it much more breath- less to think of afterward than to see it done He did it with such apparent ease and certainty that it was like seeing a bird fly or a spider walk the ceiling—not to be wondered at for that kind of creature. I am inclined to think it would be more startling (better enabling one to imagine himself in the performer’s place) if he were to do it in common clothes. a searcely larger than a butterfly as he the opposite shore, Blondin remained fifteen or twenty minutes out of sight, and then the pistol was fired to announce his re- turn. He came quietly on to the center,where he stopped to lie down at full length on the rope, and execute various postures and gym- nastics ; and, between this and his reaching our shore again, he made several pretend trips, asif ee'g 2 his balance—the screams of the affrighted ladies, at this, very comically varying the tune which was being endeavored by fy bane) Ashe came =e the slant of the rope again, I saw that his lips were tightly drawn together and his features were rigidly set with the mental exertion, and it was an expression of face that would be worth paint- ing as a type of determined will. Through all the anxiety of a spectator’s suspense, I could not help admiring the little man exceedingly, and Iwas the first to give him a hand as be stepped en the cliff. It was a cold, clammy grip that he gave me in retarn, and his fin- gers felt icy and wet. Everybody who could rexch him gave him a shake of the hand on his way to the shanty, and the enthusiasm for him seemed universal. And so ended‘the show’ of abuman life put fearially in peyil! Mr. Blondin, I was afterward told. has a wife and several children, and resides at Niagara, hav- ing adopted it as his theater of performance. His act seaceaee profits amount to $10,000 a year.”’ The Ancient Town of Jumfries. Va Acorrespondent of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, writing from this place, says: “The soil of all this region was exhausted b: the early tobacco planters, but of late years it has been somewhat restored by the application of guano, lime, and plaster, with a rotation of cro] Fifteen bushels of wheat or thirty beskels of corn are regarded as a good crop. Labor is scarce. as the slave popula- tion is slowly diminishing in numbers Accepting the offer of dle-horses and himself as a guide, from a gentleman before whose estate our yacht was anchored this morning during the ebb-tide, we came to this almost deserted city. A hundred years since it was a flourishing commercial port, with deep water at wharves on the inlet of the Potomac, now almost entirely filled i @ Upwards of a Death of Jerome Bonaparte The steamer at St. Johns brings us intelli- genee of the death of Jerome Bonaparte, the — brother of Napoleon the First. | De- ei was born at Ajaccio, December 16, 1734, educated under Madame Campan at Paris, and next at Juilly, and was early placed in the naval service, where he remained until he was sent, as lieutenant, to St. Domingo, under (en. Leclerc, his brother-in-law. Re- turning soon to France, as bearer of des- patches, he received an independent com- mand and sailed again for Martinique. Durii the hostilities of 1803 between 5 a an England, he cruised between St. Pierre and Tobago, but for some reason or other he was Siiged to leave the station and went to New York. Dec. 24, 1803, he married Miss Eliza- beth Patterson, the daughter of a weal thy and eminent merchant of Baltinore. After the ye was declared he returned with his wife to Europe; but his marriage had not pleased the imperial will, she was not allowed to land in France. Napoleon had the marriage an- pulled by a decree of his council of state, but the Pope to whom politics were not in this ease a superior consideration to r-orals, re- fused to sanction the divorcee. Madame Bona- parte went first to Holland, where, too, she was not permitted to go on shore, and then to England. In that country she gave birth to a son, July, 1805, who was named Jerome Napo- leon Bonaparte. The father himself entered France after awhile, and was given a captain- ey. Subsequently he was created rear admi- ral, and in 1807 he was transferred to the land service, with the rank of General of Division. He commanded a body of Wur- tembergers and Bavarians in the campaign of that year, and was successful in a movement against Silesia. August 12, the same year, his brother caused him to be married to Frederica Catharine, daughter of the King of Wurtem- burg, although his own wife was still living. On the 18th, Westphalia was erected into a kingdom, and the youthful, half-educated, and extravagant Jerome made the king. Ifis gov- ernment, however, though excessively lavish and prodigal, was an improvement upon that of the old regime; he was little more than the deputy or viceroy of the emperor; but the em- peror was a greatly superior man to the con- servative Germans, whe before had held sway. In the campaign against Russia, in 1812, he led acorps of Germans, and considerably distin- guished himself for his bravery; but ha been guilty of some neglect, which disconcert the plans of Napoleon, he was severely repri- manded by him, and went home in a dudgeon In the ensuing year, when the French were driven out of Germany, Jerome went with his family to Paris; but in [314 they were com- pelled to quit France. His wife was arrested just as they were leaving Paris, in a body of the allies, but was speedily released. After Napoleon’s abdication he lived alternately at Biols, at Gratz, and at Trieste, and did not get back to Paris till April, 1815. He at once em- braced the fortunes of his brother, and fought with him at Ligny and at Waterloo. The final downfall of the family sent him wandering through Switzerland, to settle at last near Vienna, as Prince de Montfort, a title conferred upon him by his father-in-law. In 1852, when Louis Nrpoleon assumed the supreme control in Paris, he was called back to France. Marshal of the Empire, President of the Senate, and, in the failure of a direct succession to Louis Napoloon, heir to the throne. By his first wife, Miss Patterson, he had one son, who was lately a citizen of the United States, and by his second, two sons, Prince Napoleon, and and one who is not now living, and a daughter. During the twelvemonth past, his health has been very infirm, and his death will cause but little surprise ~ e+e OrigisaL Mone or Securing a Pretry Wire—Bovp aut Ussvccessren EXtTerreisk A new mode of securing a pretty wife, says the correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, has just been invented in Paris, and, though the first essay has not been attended with quite the success which the patentee had a right to anticipate, strong hopes are entertained that, after a few more trials, the machinery will work quite smoothly. The initial experiment was attempted upon an absurdly obstinate Mon- sieur V.. who, lately, had the impudenee to take te his bosom a young and lovely spouse. The obdurate V. and te bieonitng Madame V. were, the other evening, taking # honeymoon stroll, arm-in-arm, down the rue Saint Martin, when they were suddenly brought to a «+ pull- up,”’ and their sweet communings rudely inter- rupted by a stranger, who finding Madam V. very much to his (the stranger’s) taste, loudly declared her to be his (the stranger’s) wife, who had some time since Posies Wy from the conjugal fireside, but had now happily ep- peared to his longing gaze, and must imme- diately restore herself to his desolate heart. Ineed scarcely inform you that the stranger was no other than the proprietor of the inven- tion mentioned above, and that never bvfore, in the whole course of his natural existence, had he looked upon the blushing perfections of Madame V., who, if the truth must be told, was not a little frightened at this claim to her person, put forward by ed, seer ps not yet presented according to the forms of polite so- ciety. Seizing by the collar the inventor of the patent wife-securing apparatus, V. kicked him, jitively kicked him, two blocks and a half down the rue St. Martin, and not a single beholder of the shameful scene interposed to prevent an act of such unqualified brutality! Comment upon Parisian justice in the nine- teenth century would be superfiuous. hundred sail of square-ri vessels were then employed in carrying to Europe the tobacco collected in its ample warehouses, and in bringing return cargoes of the manufactures of foreign Tanase, not at that time produced by home industry. An old ledger preserved in one of the brick mansions yet standing, shows how perfectly dependent the “ Old Dominion’”’ was on the mother country for everything. D Dy hardware, medicines, groceries— pas , sll the necessaries and comforts of life—were ordered each year by the [owe whose invoices were sent out by the merchants separately, and the goods came back directed to the purchaser, at whose plan- tation landing on the Potomac or Ra - nock they were delivered. This enabled the merchants here and the factors in England to each charge a commission, and th: y 2lso charg- ed for forwarding and selling the wbaceo, wit interest on advances, &c ne charge against nearly every planter having an account in the ledger now at Dumfries is, ‘for rowling to- bacco.”’ Roads were bad in those days, and eads were rolled to market, by putting iron pins through the centre of each head as an axle, to which shafis were attached. Dum- fries was settled by “eanny Scots,”’ and while they had their kirk and their school, they also bi da theatre for the amusement of their cav- alier customers, which enjoyed a high histri- onic reputation in its time. Even now, the la- dies of the plece tell how a knight of the buskin wooed and won the heart of the daughter of ene of the very first families. ries was the home of that eccentric biographer, Mr. L. Weems, who was at one time settled here as a cle an, and was a zealous Free- mason, presiding over Lodge No. 50. The court-house, built in 1775, with a hotel, and a few mansion-houses, substantially erected, defy the attacks of time, but hundreds of ‘buildings have gone to ruin, and sev- eral streets can be traced in flourishing eorn fields, by piles of brick, or by hollows showing where cellars — large and thickly populated grav. , numerous =e tabl record the wealth and social refinement of = vinden bade pe mercial prosperity. whole coun- try is rich in historical souvenirs.

It is for a moment his idol, and how dearly he cherishes it! The youth, however, is impressed with a habit of destructiveness, and looks upon everything in the form of fireworks or any composition of powder as a means of gratifying that propensity. No sooner is he of the imitation of Chinese manufacture—for all Chinese crackers are not made by the Celes- tials—than he communicates the ignited ex- tremity of his piece of punk to the fibrous stem of the cracker and eagerly watches it ex- plode. The operation is novel and delightful tohim. Perhaps it is the first bs gad ty he had ever had of affording himself such intense gratification. He takes the harmless cracker with some misgiving as to the probable result, examines it carefully, and then, urged by his older companions, applies the papied punk. He watches the rapid progress of the fire, and when it approaches near to the body of the eracker, extends itin his tiny fingers Haas as his arm can reach, closes his eyes wi an effort as to seriously contort his fe 4 and —, the eines npg at > He hears the report, fee! sting in D- , and o Bis eyes to the reality. How faseuesite delighted he is He dances about in excess of glee, and straightway rans to his paternal er—to whom all little bo: fly when in want of money—to procure the funds for a more extended investment. He is soon gratified, and with an entire pack of crackers contents himself in demonstrating the fact that he is not afraid of powder, and is doing his best to celebrate the anniversary of American independence. Of the latter he cares less than the former, and so long as his pack of crackers holds out is supremely happy.
