FYoolhardy Feat.

\A BICYCLER RIDES HIS MACHINE AT A HEIGHT OF 125 FEET.

(Washington Star,)

A daring and foolhardy feat was per- ‘formed by a bicycler at Cabin John Bridge, ‘near the city. The place is a general plea sure resort, about twelve miles from town, over the military road built by Jeff Davis |while the latter was Secretary of War. The bridge is said to be the largest single span of masonry in the world. It is 125 feet |high and about 200 feet long, a single mag- /nificent arch spanning a deep and rocky | gorge. | There is a brown stone coping on the three-foot wall on either side of the road- way. This coping is about a foot broad, and is beveled on the two upper edges for an inch or two. On the inside of these walls is the solid roadway above the duct. On the outside is a perpendicular descent of about 125 feet in the centre of the bridge, and no less than seventy-five feet at either ent. The young man stopped and dismounted at the end of the bridge and lifted his machine upon the coping. The act was noticed by a couple of gentlemen smoking under the trees, but it was looked upon as a freak of a young man who liad been drinking a little much, and no particular attention was paid toit. The next moment there was an exclamation of horror from the direction of the bridge, and the young man was seen mounted upon his thirty-inch wheel, deliberately riding along the narrow coping.

too

| The sight froze the blood of the ladies and children picnicing in the gorge beiow,

and was enough to appal the stoutest heart. The gentlemen in front of the ho*el started to their feet and called to the other wheel- men within. ‘Stop him! For God's sake stop him !” shouted a lady with two chil- dren clinging to her, wringing her hands with fright. It was too late. The young man was already in the cencre of the bridge. He never swerved a hair’s breadth from his

seat. From the end of the bridge he seemed a toy machine running by

inechanism, so erect and motionless he sat, and so evenly he rode. ** Let him alone, cried one of his companions, * he could ride it if it was a rope.” Neverthe- less, the fear that interference might hasten the horror that all wished to pre- vent left the party rooted to the spot. In two places the coping makes a zigzag by the widening of the roadway, and at these places the rider must steer his wheel through a very narrow open space at nearly right angles with his course. The daring fellow had passed the first of these ticklish spots, and when he carefully wore round the second not a single one of the horrified spectators could draw a breath for fear. From thence to the end was a short and straight run, and in another moment the young man had completed hig dangerous ride, dismounted, and was waving his hand laughingly at the frightened men women and children who had witnessed it. —_——_— hh ee ——

| A Denial.

The Colchester, N. S., Sun has been shown a letter from a resident of the North- West, late of Londonderry, Nova Scotia, in which the writer disputes the story that the Indians are starved, and states that they get more fresh meat than some of their white neighbors. He adds that the Indians are fond of gophers, and that if the Government would give them a bounty for the destruction those animals they would partly support themselves and a pest could be exterminated. The expense to which the country is put in order to keep the | Indians from starvation is in a large meas- .ure the result of the mistake of the Mac- kenzie Government in including in the Indian treaties supplies of Winchester Rifles. Before these destructive imple- ments were served out the buffalo were ‘plentiful, but since the Indians have been

furnished with them the food supply has disappeared. The buffalo having been killed by thousands, Canada has to meet

the deficiency thus created with beef. The present Government tried to withdraw the W nchesters, but the fatal error had beer: committed and it was too late.

A Monster Excursion Train.

On Saturday morning an extraordinari! y large excursion party left Chicago for Bos- ton over the Chicago and Grand Trunk Railway. The contract with that company called for sixty Pullman and forty Wagner sleeping coaches, fifty regular passenyer coaches, aud twenty baggage cars. The drst section of this remarkable train left

Chicago on Saturday at 9a.m. The Grand Trunk Company cleared the tracks of all other traffic, us far as possible, and fast time was made. This great excursion went to the Oddfellows’ celebration to be held in Boston to-day, when the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the World will hold its neetings.

The Oddfellows vainly tried to get low rates on all lines, and entered into a con- tract with the Grand Trunk for $13 for the round trip. Since then other competing roads have made concessions. From 8,000 to 10,000 members of the order assembled in Chicago and made the grand start for Boston, Special rates have been made for meals on the way.

The celebration in Boston is expected to eclipse anything ever attempted by the Oddfellows before. The Patriarchs Mili- tant (the military branch of the order) wil! for the first time participate in the annua! festivities, and it is estimated that 10,000 chevaliers and 60,000 subordinates will make up the parade.

ES On Recent Facts About Rivers.

iG

The explorations of recent years have considerably changed our nections of the comparative rank of the great rivers of the wold. If we class rivers according to their length, both the Nile and the Yang- tee-Kiang must be named before the Ama- zon. The Nile’s 4,000 miles of waterway from its head waters south Lake Vic- toria to the Mediterranean make it the longest river in the world, nearly as Jong

e > as the Mississippi and the Missouri together, and about 1,000 longer than the Amazon. The Amazon croatest river iin the world, because it has immense tri- | hutaries, of them larger than the the Rhine, by means of which ithe Amazon basins cover an area of about 1,000,060 square wiles greater than that of ther river. The Congo river is the fourth longest river in‘the world, but in the volume of water that it pours out into the ocean, it is the second only to the Amazon.

In olden times, when a single hook some- times cost afortune, it was an eapensive luxury to be a book-buyer even on a small scale. It is said of Jerome, who died in 42, that “he ruined himself by purchasing a copy of Origen’s works,” and that the great and good Alfred gave a large estate for one work on cosmography; that was about the year 872, when books were rare, and we know well how hungry and _ thirsty was this king for learning, grasping eagerly at all helps within reach. The Roman de la Rose was purchased for thirty pounds, and two hundred sheep and tive quarters of wheat were ‘*‘ given with gladness of heart” for a certain popular homily. It must net be forgotten that tranecr|..ng and illuminat- ing by hand were slow and necessarily very expensive processes, thus rendering it im- possible for any but the wealthiest to buy such wares.

penathies and the Public.

People who complain of errors in the

newspapers are often the very ones who refuse to give the slightest information to

reporters. The latter are always anxious to be aided in their work and anxious to be accurate. Many people seom to think Lhat the reporters can get informa- tion without asking questions, making inquiries or interviewing. To this latter process many unreasonably object, but if they would consider fully the matter, they must see that they protect themselves and

confer a service on the public by making themselves accessible to reporters. Always be ready to give a reporter information,

and let it be accurate.
