ATTiE' MERCY dF A CATARACT.
perilous Adventure of an Acrobat Under
the Niagara Falls ,
"I was pretty near heaven forhalf an
' hour , " said H. 0. Prentice , the acrobat
Acrobat Prentice's remark just quoted
was the prelude to the story be told the
$ ulfalo Express reporter of his adventures -
tures while viewing Niagara falls for
the first time.
Mr. Prentice and Thomas Adamson
went to the falls , and they tried to keep
together as they went from point to
point viewing all the famous spots about
thecataract. They spent an hour or so
in viewing to falls from above , and
then they put on rubber stilts and started -
ed below. They went down the elevator
and then down the stairway to the
rocks. After a time they concluded 'that
they had seen all that was to be seen
below , and were upon the point of re-
turningwhen Prentice told Adamson to
go and ask one of the guides if there
were anything else to be seen down
there. Mr. Adamson turned about and
went to hunt for the guide. Ho was
gone about five minutes , and when he
came back his friend Prentice was
missing. Adamson was puzzled at the
disappearance of Prentice. Adamson
had spent about half an hour looking
for Prentice , when the news reached
him that his companion had been found
down between the rocks up to his neck
in water. In a few minutes after this
news reached Adamson he was joined
by Prentice , who told of his experiences
after Adamson had left him to look for
the guide.
Mr. Prentice said that after Adamson
turned back he thought he would walk
down into a gully between the rocks.
He noticed that it was comparatively
dry there. He was therefore considerably -
bly surprised soon after he got down
into the gully to have a stream of water -
ter two feet deep and moving with
great'violence strike him in the back
of the legs. The stream was so strong
that it staggered him , and to avoid being -
ing swept from his feet and carried on
into the river he crouched down in an
angle of one of the rocks , with his back
to the torrent and braced himself to resist -
sist the power of the stream that had
cut off his line of retreat. He had hold
of the edge of the rock with his hands
and he did not dare to lot go for fear
the current would sweep him out from
1
behind the anglt He yelled for help ,
but the noise of the water droned his
cries. At one time he looked over the
edge of the rock and saw the Maid of
the Mist 100 feet away in the river. Ho
shook his head , hoping that the passengers -
gers on the little boat would notice the
motion , but no one saw him.
After he crouched down behind the
rock the water washed over his body up
to his neck. He was on the point of giving -
ing up when a stranger who had also
come down to the rocks saw him and
notified the guides. Prentice was hauled
out with a pole. The stream of water
that surprised him came from a millrace
that is closed part of the time.

BROKEN HEARTS IN FRANCE.
Held of Less Account , by the Law Than
Broken Legs.
In no instance does the profound difference -
ference of national character in England
and France appear more striking , says
our Paris , correspondent , than in the
views held on both sides of the channel
regarding breach of promise. Of course
engagements are broken off in France
as well as in England , but it is only in
England that heavier damages are
awarded for a broken heart than for a
broken leg. The offense is all but unknown -
known in the French law courts ,
whether it is that Frenchmen are less
inclined to it or that the French girl
dislikes bringing her sentimental troubles -
bles into court. To show English readers -
ers how incredibly prejudiced French
persons of both sexes are upon this subject -
ject it is enough to say that a young
lady who attempted to turn her wounded -
ed feelings into cash would be regarded
as only a degree less mean than the
faithless man.
The very small number of suits for
breach of promise have always been
supported by a plea that the lady was
put to expense , and there must be besides -
sides evidence of an intent to deceive.
Damages in any case are very small beside -
side the royal amounts awarded byEng-
lish juries. Recently an action for
breach of promise a 1'Anglaise was
brought into the Third Paris police
court. The lady and her father , as nearest -
est friend , produced a bill showing that
they were 50 out of pocket for the
broken engagement. They might have
had this ; but , badly advised , they put
on another item of 350 for the moral
prejudice. The French judge did not
understand this , and he dismissed the
case.-London News.
Napoleon's Statement About EnghIen.
When Napoleon was on his deathbed ,
a maladroit attendantreadfrom an English -
lish review a bitter arraignment of him
as guilty of the duke's murder. The dying -
ing man rose , and catching up his will
wrote in his own hand : "Thud the Duo
d'Enhien seized and tried because it
was necessary to the safety , the interest
and the honor of the French people ,
when by his own confession the Comte
d'Artois was supporting 60 assassins in
Paris. Under similar circumstances I
would again do likewise. " Nevertheless -
less he gave himself the utmost pains on
certain occasions to unload the entire
responsibility on Talleyrand. To Lord
Ebrington , to O'Meara , to Las Cases ,
to Montholon , he asseverated that Pal-
leyrand had checked his impulses to
clemency.-"Life of Napoleon , " by
Professor William M. Sloane , in Cen-
tury.
