Senator, was so barefaced that the Board of Supervisors rejected the recount, and declared the result as first given. It was evident that the ballots had been tampered with after the first Bap Tastre.—Democratic sheets are filled with slurs and slanders of Grant because, forsooth, he has recently visited some of the watering places for recreation and pleasure. Some of these papers would do well to turn their attenbeen at the Capital of the State as a resident, and who now goes out of the State and across the continent. The Democratic critics of Grant are silent in regard to Haight, thus shows ing that party hate, and not a sense of duty, is the motive in their attacks. _Birxgp.—A telegram from San Francisco says that the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Co. have sold their line to the Western Union Company, and that delivery is to be made on the first of October. This piece of news had circulation once before, says the Grass Valley Union, and the managers of the Atlantic and Pacific Company indignantly denied the report, and said that their line would not be sold. This time the sale appears to have been made. Well, the result. is that the people who so liberally helped to build the new line for the sake of getting telegraphing done at reasonable rates, are bilked. It seems to be the fate of California to be held bound hand and foot by the monopolies. It will be a long time before our people of the mountains will Francisco men who come to get subscriptions to put up a good work.’ “Bilk” is the word such solicitors will eer,” us A Goop CLEAN Up.—The-Grass Valley Union says: Joseph Perrin’s mill was cleaned up last Saturday after'a four weeks’ rur of the mine and mill. The amonnt realized was $5,330 and of this. amount $3,272 are ‘clear profit. The millis run by water power and has eight stamps. The rock crushed in the four weeks made 139 loads. Prévious clean ups for the last few months show about the same average yiétd per load of rock. The mine is now looking fine. Joe Perrin was beaten for Supervisor in this Democratic district, but we rather guess that he is ‘elected by his mine, as a successful miner, Mr. Bridgman, of Bellows Falls, Vermont, hassevera) small ponds containing more than forty thousand trout, varying from six months to three years of age. The water is changed once in twenty-four hours, and the fish are fed on ground liver twice a day at an expense of one dollar a week. A WALNUT tree eight feet across, pet. rified into Soapsténe, was lately discovered 176 feet deep in a coal mine in Illinois. . who has“ lately distinguished himself ' pieces-of his machine, and at once prohusband’s sister, sor Jénkins is the name of a gentleman by crossing the Niagara fiver by riding a velocipede on a rope, thus outdoing Blondin, who crossed the same river several years ago. This last exhibition took place on August 25th, below Suspension Bridge. The rope was made of hemp and was two inches 1n circumference. It was stretched across the chasm, one thousand feet in Jength, and two hundred feet above the flood. The cable*was fastened securely and immovably on the American shore, but on the Canada shore-coiled around a windlass to facilitate tightening, and then twisted and tied around a-couple of cedar stumps. The deflection of the rope was about thirty feet. The ma~ chine used by Jenkins is not a veloci~ pede. It is, however, a bicycle, and turned upside down would resemble in some degree, a modern velocipede. The wheels, three inches wide, are made heavy and of wood, without tires, but in their places are grooves one and three~quarter inches deep. The front wheel is three feet two inches and the hind whtel two feet ten inches in diam~ meter. The ccnnecting rods are iron, 80 also the balance pole, which is eight feet long and: tipped with ten pound balls, and weighs twenty-eight pounds. The whole. thing, with the man thrown in, weighs 298 pounds. The propelling power is a pinion cog-wheel, made of brass, about nine inches in diameter, which is made to gear cogs which surround the front wheel at the bottom: of the groove. At 2:30 o’clock the Professor made his appearance at the small house on the Canada side, with the ceeded to put them together. With the aid of his men he first placed the fore wheel on the rope just at the edge ofthe precipice, and while one man balanced it, another placed on the standard from the under side, thus bringing two strong bars of iron on either side of the rope. ‘All being in readiness, the bicycle was fastened by a rope to the bank, and Jenkins started for his hotel to robe, but made his second appearance at 3:30 o'clock, dressed for the performance. He wore white tights, black velvet knee breeches, shoulder straps and cross belts of the same material, and on his head was placed a crown shaped hat; and all . were profubely bedecked with tinsel and beads. His feet were covered with buff mocasins. In‘a moment he grasped the handles of the pinion wheel, and turned them, moving slowly from the bank, the crowd preserving a deathlike stillness. He then turned, and waited five or ten minutes, and resumed his seat. Three pistol shots were then fired from the Canada side, and it wasa go, The machine moved slowly forward, the rope swaying genx tly from side to side until he had passed about fifty feet, when another opportunity was given the photograph artist to take his picture,after which he crawled along at a snail’s pace to the middle of the abyss, when he raised and waived his hat, and received a faint cheer in response. From the center to the American shore it was evidently hard work to propel the bicycle, but at last the edge of the cliff was reached, and the welkin did ring with the applause of the people. The time occu~ pied in passing over the rope was just eleven minutes. The amount’ raised on both sides of the river was $130, of which the Elgin House gave $50. It was also agreed that half the receipts at the bridge should go to the pers former: The etpenses were about $1,000, the rope alone costing $350. Miss Carrie A. Benning,a young lady of ‘Harris county, Georgia, who was re~ duced by the war from wealth to pov‘erty, lias in cultivation a five-acre field of cotton, which is said to be the best in the neighborhood. She planted and worked it herself, with no assistance except in one ploughing.

The}: ladies inside?” demanded a gentleman. “Well, yes,” responded the youth, languidly, “I generally smoke whenever I get achance ;’ and he continued puffing. Presently the gentleman who had spoken called for the drivef to stop. “Now, young man,” said he, “I'll give you just one minute to get out!” The youthful smoker looked his epponent in the: eye, saw he had found his match, and silently got out and climbed to an outside seat. Next morning the gentleman met-the young man on the piazza of the hotel, and, after pleasantly saluting him, remarked: ‘‘I see from the book that you are from Philadelphia.” “Yes, sir,” responded the youth, evidently desirous the interview of the previous evening shonald not be recalled. “And do you expect to go through New York on your way back?” “Yes, sir,” again was the reply. “Well, young man,” continued the gentleman, ‘from what I have seen of you, I think you will get into trouble in New York, and you may like to call upon me, se I will give you my card;” whereupon he handed him a bit of pastéboard, on which was-the name of John A. Kennedy, Superintendent of the Metropolitan Board of Police!” Fatt ELEcrions.—The ‘following elections will come off this Fall : October 5—Colorado—Delegate to Congress. , October 12— Pennsylvania — State Officers and Legislature.

THE little Princess Felicia, said to be the smallest girl of her age on the continent, is still the great sensation in Paris. She is only fifty centimeters high. On her arrival in Paris she was immediately taken to the Empress, who put her in her work basket and carried her to the Emperor’s room. The girl was placed on Napoleon's writing table on which she promenaded and danced for awhile,and closed the performance, to the great amusement of the Emperor, by turning a somersault. She is only seven years old, and the physi~ cians who have eXamined ‘her predict that she will yét grow about eight or ten centimeters, when she will be about two feet high. PRISONERS.—There are 740 prisoners in San Quentin. Ir is estimated that there are 1,100 murderers at large in Tennessse. -M. MARFoRI, once jn such high favor with the Queen of Spain, is, it is said, going to turn monk. WHIcH AND ToTHER.—The Rev. Dr. Punshon, who has visited both cities, says that “at Chicago everybody seems to be going tosome place; at Cincinnati they look as though they had been there and returned.” A Rerort.—Fanny Fern says: “If one half the girls knew the previous lives of the men they marry, the list of old maids would be wonderfully increased.” Whéreupon the Boston Post asks: “If the men knew what their future lives were to be, wouldn’t it increase the list of old maids stil] further ?” “Bos” said a young fellow at a fancy fair “you are missing all the sights on this side.” “Never fhind Bill,”retorted Bob, “I am sighting all the misses on the other.” “did you know that the ‘iron horse’ had but oneear?” “Une ear! merciful gracious, child, what do you mean? “Why the engineer, of course.” ° “Tax SHOWER OF Fiesu.—N. E. Whiteside. received the following acity of Los Angeles from a brother-in~ law, which fally and satisfactorily explains the matter:You ask in relation to the shower of “flesh and blood” in this vicinity. It really took place—as represented over a place of one or two acres at Los Nitos near a house at which were collected a number of persons on the Sabbath, for, consternation of the neighborhood was great, and ofcourse their excited im~ magination supplied a very large ver~ sion of the matter. I examined a specimen of the flesn brought to.me, with the microscope, and found it to be the muscular fibre of some young animal. But this astonishing occurrence is sus~ e have in this region an abundance of the bird known as the “Cal, Condor” one of the largest birds that flies. ‘When fully gorged it is said to contain 20 to 40 pounds of flesh. Their flight is very high—some thousands of teet— and when disturbed after one of the feasts, they are frequently uider the necessity of disgorging—say ten to fifteen pounds—which with their rapidity of flight and theit great altitude would cover quitea large space by the time it reached thé ground.
