Over the Falls BAM AS DESCRIBED BY A MAN WHO SAW IT In a recent issue of your paper says a newspaper correspondent I read an in which reference was made to that once famous individual known Patch Having myself seen him in the flesh and having betn an eyewitness of some of his dar ing feats I thought perhaps I might state Borne things about him lhat would interest your many readers I will pre mise by Baying ho was no impostor but that in his brief career he always per formed all that he promised in a straight forward and honest way He never re sorted to the uee of rubber straps coils of wire or a parachute in order to ren der his leaps free from apparent danger Sam Patch as he was familiarly called was a native of Paterson N the son of poor but honest and for some years lived there alone with his widowed mother j He is said by some persons to have been a lazy shiftless and dissipated fellow but I was assured by an old and reputable merchant of the place a few years ago who knew Sam well that this was not so The same gentleman kindly to me to tho place where ho made his first leap into the Passaic of some eighty or ninety feet and which he repeated sev eral times During the summer of 1829 Patch went to Niagara Falls and made one or two successful leaps into the seething waters below In October of the same year Jie came to Rochester and gave out that he would leap from island above the upper falls This was the last of October and was an that called together more people than ever saw before Full were on hand to witness for the first time a during feat that no ever attempted in this country On this occasion I took my staud below tho close to the waters edge and nearly under tho projecting rock from which ho was to jump Promptly at the hour announced Sam made his appearance on the spot end greeted with and a tiger such as any human might be proud of After surveying the vast assemblage for n moment ho removed his outside gar ments and tied a red bandana around his waist Soon ho waved a farewell to the people on all sides which no doubt sent ft thrill through many n bonom and orma extended leaped tho tors below I shall never forget the ns I looked up and saw him coming down 0 nst as he reached the water he brought his arms to his rido nnd went in without a ripple upon the surface In nn he reappeared nnd swam with no injury save a slight bruise on his shin against a sunken tree He was taken upon tho shoulders nf some present nnd carried up tho bank bo received tho hearty con gratulations of all tho vast admiring crowd On the 9th of November following ho made another and big last thin time from an elevated platform 25 foe high making the wholo distance of tho leap 125 It was a chilly nnt day with some ico in tho river and to protect himself from tho cold he rather too freely of brandy as we noticed in following him closo on to the island from which he was destined never to return He ascended to tho place of leaping with apparent ease and coolness nnd after looking out upon tho eea of heads for a moment he as before re moved all his garments except pants and shirt and tying tho bandana his body he motioned to all n lust farewell and walked off to almost instant death He struck tho water on his breast and as it closed over him we felt sure lhat for him this was the last of Diligent search was tit once mode for his body but all in vain Early tho next spring however it was found floating nt the mouth of the river at Charlotte with tho handkerchief still on His remains were decently interred in tho village cemetery A Babbling Eddy There is

his pains Last month two Paris newspapers reprinted in whole or part from a Barcelona newspaper a bitter letter written by a former camp of the pretender As the story is told Don Carlos missed ons day his jewelled collar of the Golden Fleece bequeathed to him by bis uncle the Duke of and worth aside from its associations about The theft was brought home to this who is said to have owned up and begged for mercy But the matter was in the hands of the police and Don Carlos could not save him from the dis grace of exposure Hence this letter in which the aidedecamp not only ac cuses Don Carlos of having sold the jewels then plotted the ruin of a devoted friend in order to avert a row with his family but charges him with cowardice at Plevna and else where Don Carlos brought suit against the two Paris newspapers for republish iu the slanders As it did net appear that the was malicious the Court dismissed the complaint and condemned Don Carlos to pay the costs Southern California turist

Norway shipbuilding is the most com mon it not tha only form of investment Instead of putting their money in a bank and leaving it to the banks to utilize the inhabitants of a village or parish or county pool together their savings and build or buy a ship If situated on a fjord the village builds the ships and places them tinder tho command of its own sons if sit farther inland it sends its
