' A Madera Miracle.
Milwaukee, Sept. 7. A young Nor
wegian named KoNenduhl, from Minnca
pons, gave an exhibition yesterday of
wanting on tne water, it was a complete
success. With hi feet secured in two
small boat like structures tbeyoung man
walked rapidly and eusily on the surface
of the water. The peculiarity of lioson-
dahl a invention is the possibility of
minting progress by an actual walking
movement, mere was no striding back
or sideways, but a straight forward walk
at the rate of at least three miles per hour.
Thousands of spectators witnessed the
feat and the crowd was very enthusiastic
Over the young man's success. The swell
occasioned by pursing tugs did not dis
turb the walker to any noticeable degree.
The Vermont Election.
Hukmnoton, gept. 8. One hundred and
fifty towns heard from give the republi-
cans a majority of 17,000. On this basis
, tlio republican majority overall will bo
about 22,600 and their plurality about
27,000. The legislature will have but one
democrailu senator. The bouse will be
overw helm i ngly republican .
ommenU of the New York Press.
New Yoke, Sept. 8. The Timn says of
tlio Vermont election: The most sung
uine of the estimates which were other
than mere guesses, gave the republicans
this year the majority of 1870, between
.'.yw and iH.uuu but all returns so fur re
ceived show Unit the majority of 1872 has
been exceeded.
The 2'riiimr suys: If the republicans
gain in the 181 towm not fully reported,
as they have gained in towns hoard from,
their majority will bo 25,790. This would
exceed the wildest anticipations of the
most sanguine republicans. It would
exceed the largest republican mujority
for governor in the lust decade. The re
publicans have already 15,000 majority
in 110 out of 231 towns, and they would
have been satisiled with 20,000 in the
whole state.

Presonoe of mind and a slight knowledge
of the special giavity of the human body
would have saved much of this frightful
loss of life. There was loose wood
enough about the boat to have floated
ten timus the number of passengers on
the ill-fated vessel, if it had boen used
with judgment. The human body
weighs about a pound in tlio water, and
a single clinir will carry two grown per
sons. That is, it would keep their heads
above water, which is all that is neces
sary when it is a question of life or
death. The burning vessel was close to
shore, the water was cairn and warm,
and all thcno passengers might easily
have jumped overboard and paddled
laughing ashore, if they had only pos
sessed and used the simple knowledge
thut one finger placed upon a stool, or a
chair, or a small box, or a piece of
board, would easily keep the bead above

back and forth across a deep,

that would not sustain five pounds.
In fact, that sometime small bov
is now writing this. Children and all
others should have practice in the sus
taining power of water. In nine cases
out of ten the knowledge thut what will
sustain a pound - weight is all that is
necessary to keep one's head above
water will serve better in emergencies
than the greutest cxportuess as a swim
mer. A person unfamiliar with the
buoyant power of water will naturally
try to climb on top of tho floating object
ou which he tries to save himself. If it
is largo enough that is all tight. Eut it
is generally not largo enough, and half
of a struggling group are often drowned
in the desperate scramble of a life aud
death struggle to climb on top of a piece
of wreck or other floating object, not
large enough to keep them all entirely
abovo the water. This often happens
when pleasure boats capsize. All immo
diutely want to get out of tho water on
top of the overturned or half-filled boat,
and all are drowned except thoso whom
tho wrecked craft will wholly bear up.
If they would simply trust the water to
sustain ninety-nine hundredths of the
weight of their bodies, and the disabled
bout the other hundredth, they might all
bo saved under most circumstances. An
overturned or water-filled woodon boat
will sustain more peoplo in this way than
it will carry. It would keep the heads
above water of as many people as could
get their hands on tho gunwale. Theso
are simple facts, easily learned, and may

Schoolboys aud Headaches.
Trof. Treichler has delivered a lecture
beforo the German Association of Natur
alists and Physicians which contains a
fact of some interest to teachors. Ho
says that headache in schools decidedly
increases, until in some schools, and
notably in Nuremburg, one-third of tho
scholars suffer from it. He believes
thut the cause is over intellectual exer
tion, caused partially by the adoption of
too ninny subjects, but principally by
tho tendency to demand night-work.
The brain is then freshly taxed when its
cells are exhausted. We begin to hear
the same complaint in England, es
pecially irom liomlon schools, ana are
tempted to believe thut in some of them
an imperceptible but steady in increase
in tho amount of night-work demanded
has oeen going on, which is passing a
safo limit. It does not hurt the quick,
und it does not hurt the stupid, but it
does hurt tho boys and girls who want
to fulfill all demands, und have not
quite the quickness to do it. The usual
quantity of Latin, for example, to be
learned at night has within the last
with his on hand, fixed a heavy padlock.
The chest was carried outside the town
and buried in a garden belonging to the
minister; barloy was sown over tho spot,
a wall was erected around it and senti
nels posted. On the lortieth day, when
the chest containing the fakir was dug up
and opened the man was found cold und
stink iu precisely the sumo condition
as that iu which he had boen left.
With much troublo ho was restored to
lifo by means of heat applied to the head,
alllution in the ears und mouth, rubbing
tho body, etc. Tho minister, Eajuh
Dhvan-Singh, assured a friend thut ho
had this fakir, whose numo was Haridas,
for a period of four months under tho
earth at Jummeo in the mountains. On
the day of his burial he had caused his
beard to be shaved off, and when ho was
taken up again his chin was just as
smooth as on the day when he was con
signed to the earth a proof, as would
seem, of suspended animation. It is re
lated that the fakir in question took a
purgative some timo before the burial
disjilay, and for several days afterward
lived only on a scanty milk diet. On
tho day of the interment it is said that
instead of taking any nourishment, he
swallowed 30 yards of a strip of linen of
the breadth of three fingers, which he
immediately drew up again, his object
being to clean the stomach. However
wonderful and perhaps laughable these
operations appear to many, it is plain
that these peoplo must havo a singular
control over the different organs of their
bodies, and more especially over their
muscular contractions. When all the
necessary preparations havo been accom
plished, the fakir closes all the openings
of his body with stoppers made of aro
matic wax, lays his tongue fur back
in his throat, crosses his hands
ou his breast, and suspends ani-
nation by means of holding his breath.
On his being brought buck to life one of
the hrst operations is, by menus of the Cork as a "resort" labors under dif-
fingers, to draw tlio tongue away from Acuities. When a trans-Atlantic traveler

with which they had been stopped, and
aner great exertion opened his mouth by
inserting the point of a knifo between his
teeth, and while holding his jaw open
with his left hand, drew the tongtio for
ward with his right, in the course of
which the tongue flew back several times
to its curved positiou upward, in
which it had originully been, so as to
close the gullet. He then rubbed his
eyes with ghee (or clarified butter) for
some seconds, till he succeeded in open
ing them, when the eyes appeared
quite motionless aud giazed. After
the cuke had been applied for the third
time to the top of tho head the body was
violently convulsed, the nostrils became
inflated, when respiration ensued, and
the limbs began to assume a natural full
ness; but the pulsation was still fuiutly
perceptible. Tho servant then put some
of the ghee on his tongue and made him
swallow it. A few minutes afterwards
the eye-balls became diluted, and recov
ered their nntural color, when the fakir
recognized Eunjeet Singh sitting close to
him, and articulated in a low sopulchral '
tone, scarcely audible, "Do you believe
me now?" Eunjeet Singh replied in the
affirmative, and invested tho fakir with a
pearl necklace and a superb pair of gold
bracelets, aud pieces of silk aud muslin,
and shalls, forming whnt is called a
khelat, such as is usually conferred by
the princes of India on persons Of dis
tinction. I share entirely in the appar
ent incredibility of tho fact of a man be
ing buried alive and surviving tho trial
without food or drink for various periods
of duration; but, however iucombatible

contrary, I am bound to declare my be

A Brave Bhakku.in. A most daring
act of bravery was performed on the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Eail
way a few days ago. Train No. 4'.) was
approaching Kirkwood, a small way
station. Thaddeus Tuuney, a brakemau,
who was sitting on the pilot of the en
gine, saw a woman walking on the track
a few roils ahead of the tram. He seized
the bell rope, and giving it a sudden
jerk, drew tho attention of the engineer,
who blew his whistle several times very
loudly. The woman paid no atiention
but kept on the track. Tho engineer re
versed the engine, somewhat reducing
the speed, and the brave lanncy gave a
leap from the head of the pilot, landing
safely on his feet. He ran like a deer
np the track, and reaching the woman,
seized her with a herculean effort, and
threw her off tbe track. The engine was
by this time within a few feet of him,
and, mustering together all his strength,
ho gave one desperate bound, landing
safely among the bushes along the track.
The brave brakesman was slightly in
jured, but the woman's life was saved
without her receiving a bruise. When
asked why she did not leave tho track
when the whistle blew, she said she was
o frightened that she did not know
which track the train was on, or which
way to go. The) train was stopped, and
the brave brakeman congratulated for hia
brave act.
