N. V. Times Correspondence.
There may be persons new living who
have seen all the sights of this place, but
I doubt it. Sir. Vanderbilt has net been
here lately, and there arc lew ethers who
could anerd it. mere are a great many
things here worth seeing, but it is incon
venient te carry mere than 0110 or two
satchels full of money when traveling.
The vister te the Falls, as far as my
knowledge gees, usually drives te a hotel
for no man has ever yet mastered the
mysteries of Niagara Falls streets eats a
meal or two, and drives out te see what he
can from a carriage window. After pay
ing the carriage bill he gets out of the
town while he is still able te move about
and before he is utterly paralyzed. I have
succeeded, during a brief stay, in familiar
izing myself with the topography of tua
surrounding country, in seeing most of the
curiosities, and in escaping, te a great
extent, the snares of the hackmen. He
who can de this will find Niagara Falls a
place of beauty,- full of wonders, and well
worth visiting. My miraculous escape
from the hackmen was due te seme ex
perience with them en a former visit. I
have been looking for the last four' days
for the man who has been writing news
paper paragraphs saying that the swind
ling at Niagara is all done away with aud
that everything tins year is inarvcleusly
cheap. Anybody who meets this person
will please step en him ; he is a humbug.
In driving up the Canadian side of the
river toward the hotel 1 had selected I
noticed a sign en the edge of the cliff, "Te
the ferry," with a wooden hand pointing
down the hill, aud the beginning of a steep
read. Away down below, looking like a
bug swimming across a wash-tub. was a
small row beat crossing the river. It went
up almost uudcr the falls while I watched
it. Later in the day, having seme'business
te attend te ever in the town, I determined
te cress by this little ferry, and here be
gins the brief description of a little recent
cxpcticuce with the Niagara Samaritans.
It reminds ene of traveling in the Jiible
lands, where he can say, as he rests by the
wayside, " I was a straugcr, and ye took
me in." I went down the steep read, with
many windings, te the river's edge. It
was a very exhausting wane, in the net
sun, even though it was down hill, aud I
"cannot tee strongly warn any delicate per
son from attempting it. The read is se
steep it is harder work te held yourself
back than it would be .te climb up. Half
way down the hill there was .standing an
undeniable Methodist parson from the in
terior, whom I had seen in the cars a day
or two before, making anxious inquiries
about the Falls. He steed upon a grass
knell, under a tree, with all his treasures
abeuthim a delicate .vife,twe babics,and a
little girl aud was dragging them about
the scerchiug town. He was a fearful and
wonderful example of the man who gees
off in the summer looking for pleasure.
At the feet of the hill thcre were three
ImilL'ings all made of rough beaids. Twe
were little dwelling houses a short dis
tance from the water, and the third was a
shed at the starting place of the tiny ferry
beats. This shed was tilled with bits of
pottery, pieces of weed carving, mocca
sins, bottles, pin cushions, caucs, whips,
and all the truckery that gees here under
the general name of Iuffiau curiosities.
Taking a pin cushion at $1, aud a ten
cent cane at 75 cents, the prices of the
things may easily be gauged. The geeds
were guarded by a sweet young creatine
in short skirts, who was very well te llirt
with until a better loekiug ena put her
head aud shoulders out of the deer of one
of the neighboring houses and waved her
haudkerchtcf at the passengers who were
waiting for the beat. Fifteen of us were sent
across at once in the row beat, but it was a
geed solid conveyance, aud could easily
have carried 10 mere. The boatman took
us up te the very edge of the mist at the
feet of the falls till we were almost drench
ed. Then the current, the instant wc
touched it, swept us flying down the river.
It was like riding iu a boiling tea-kettle
with the spray, the turbulent water, and
the scorching sun. The minute we lauded
(having paid ever 25 cents each, which
was cheap enough), we were seized by a
squad of terrible looking creatures clad in
oilcloth clothes, who wanted te take us
under the falls. - They would net let us
go, but fairly dragged us into their place,
at the feet of the cliff. I de net-use this
word dragged iu a metaphorical sense.
One of them seized me by the arm aud
pulled me by main force into his den.
When they became satisfied that none of
our boat-lead were te be bled they urged
us te walk te the end of their gallery aud
leek at the falls through their stained
glass windows. We did se, and a beauti
ful sight it was. There were patios of red
glass, blue glass, green glass, aud yellow
glass, and the effect through each of them
was charming. There was a path leading
upward among the rocks, within 20 feet
of the great sheet of water, and almost
immediately in front of the window.
Looked at through the green glass, this
was ene of the prettiest things I ever saw.
The price of our ferriage entitles us te ad
mission te the ' park" that hides the
American Fall from the public, and we
rode up in the elevator. This is the ma
chine 1 mentioned iu a former letter, amd
pronounced dangerous. The fact that it
has been running ;since 1S15 without an
accident docs net alter my opinion of it.
Ne place is safe, iu my humble opinion,
where a human life depends entirely upon
the strength of a single rope. The distance
traveled by the elevator is 3G0 feet up an
inclined plane.
"This is the place te go under the
falls," said one of the oilcloth men at the
feet of the cliff., "Over en the Canadian
side they charge you a dollar for putting
en the suit that's what they de." Over
en the Canadian side they told us just the j
reverse et this story. At the ten of the
inclined piano we were iu the "perk,"
which has been owned by the Prospect
park company since 1872. The natives
knew this spot as "Ferry Greve"
or 1
"Point View," and one of them told me
that the park company had net been suc
cessful in their negotiations te buy the
space around the late comet and fence it
off. This is the only place en the high
land from which a geed view of the
American Fall can be had, aud admission
is 25 cents. I will net express any opin
ion of this company ; it might be libelous.
They de net charge anything for walk
ing up the street after leaving the park.
There arc mere "Indian curiosity" stores
in the principal streets of the village than
there are clothing stores in Chatham street.
Behind the counters in all these stores,
and sitting about the doers, are scores
and hundreds of girls, making merry with
the few customers they have, and, in the
lack of customers, ogling and smiling at
the passers-by. After seeing seme of the
New Yerk shop girls, I thought there was
net much mere te learn in that direction,
but it was a little startling, upon entering
one of the stores, te be asked, by one of
these gorgeously decorated misses, "My
dear, what can I de for you te-day?" It
was about the time of arrival of a train
and nearly time for the omnibuses te be
going across the river. Having finished
rav business. I desired te return te the I
hotel en the Canadian side and te go in
the hotel's omnibus. Knewing the street
it must go through, I steed for seme time
at a corner waiting for it te pass. Ne
omnibus came, and at length I asked a
policeman who was standing near by
whether it was net nearly time for it.
"Oh, no," the policeman replied,
"there will be no omnibus along for mere
than two hours new. The only way te
get ever there is te take a carriage." Te
my everlasting shame be it recorded that
I believed him. We arc used te tough
policemen in New Yerk, but they are net
liars. I found a hackman en the next
corner who thought he would net sacrifice
his professional standing by taking me
ever te my hotel for $2, I te pay the tells.
Ha was net quite sure, he said, whether
the tell was lifty cents or a dollar. I was
sure enough. We had nearly reached the
bridge when the omnibus of my hotel
came along aud passed us. I hailed it and
left the carriage, aud it was worth the 50
cents I paid the hackman te learn that
the Niagara Falls policemen are in league
with the ether swiudlers. Safelj back en
the Canadian side (it is tee bad te
have te say se, but eue is in less danger of
being bitten by the sharks en the Canadian
side ), the omnibus drove past an old mu
seum in a big stene building, with a line
garden by its side. Hanging en the front
wall et tins museum was a wooden sign
that immediately attracted my attention.
It read thus, in bii letters :
It gives me much pleasure te nay that
this Museum, which adds te the attractions
et tliK beautilul place, it arranged with :
science, tate and skill. ;
U. SILLIMAN.
Proleier, Yale College.
Si.lT. '11, ISM.
Beside this sign was a mammoth paint
ing of two buffaloes, a group of Indians,
aud some ether animals. This was also
arranged "with sience, taste and skill,''
but without the slightest touch of nature.
The straits these museums are driven te
this season for customers is illustrated by
the devices of the runners, who bother
every passer-by with such invitations as,
"Won't you step in, sir, aud take a leek
at the scenery from the tower ? There is
110 charge." There- are two of these big
museums en the Canadian side, and after
being in their immediate vicinity for sev
eral days, I have net seen a single person
go into either of thorn.
This is only a sample trip, I have had
twenty such experiences in the last few
days. But a limit iu the matter of space
prevents me from detailing them. Of the
remainder of the places worth visiting, I
cau give only a brief description. There is
a paragraph, however, 1 found in a Niagara
guide-book, that I waut particularly te
quote, for it tells the exact truth: " Com
plaints arc frequently made by strangers,"
it says, "of being outrageously gulled by
hackmen and guides. The usual price for
carriages is $2 an hour. The compensa
tion for the service of guides is less defi
nitely fixed. Othere complaints of a less
specific character arc also often madeL such
as 'a quarter is demanded at every corner,'
&c. The greater part of the world are se
much accustomed te consider a tangible
material return as the only form of the
quid pre quo that they are net satisfied."
This is the truth exactly. People are se ac
customed te having some return for their
money that when they come hcic and de
net get it they arc dissatisfied.
In visiting sonic of the places of interest,
aud in passing by ethers, I have kept a
record of the charges, which, as far as I
have learned, are as follews:

These prices de net, in any case, imlu le
the expense of reaching the places, but are
merely the rates of tell or admission fees.
I have met with a new race of people iu
the last few days the people who have
charge of the islands, of the parks, of the
inclined railways, the guides, and the var
ious attendants. They ceme mysteriously
out of unexpected places, like gnomes ;
theg are all rough in manner, aud general
ly outlandish iu costume.
The Niagara river, from Buffalo te the
Falls, is a beautiful sheet of water. I
traveled its entire length in a carriage once
when the railroad was disabled, aud early
in the morning before the sun grew warm.
It was as delightful a ride as can be found
anywhere. Its average fall before it
reaches the rapids, is a feet te the mile.
Grand island, 12 miles long,. and from 3 te
6 miles wide, divides the river exactly in
the middle. In the last three miles before
it reaches the cataract it falls 53 feet. The
average height of the falls is 101 feet, and
"the river falls 1)8 feet mero' between the
feet of the falls and Lewiston, seven miles
below. Thus it falls nearly 350 feet in less
than 30 miles. Geat Island, en the brink
of the precipice, divides the American
from the Canadian fall. Somebody built
a wooden bridge te the island early iu the
century, and an iron one took its place
about 35 years age. Geat Island is cool
and shady. It is surrounded by several
smaller islands, none of which have any
great interest. When they were repairing
the old bridge, .about 40 years age, a work
man named Chapiu fell overboard aud
ledged en one of the little islands, and it
has ever since been called Chapin's
island. Geat Island is owned by the
Perter family, and I suppose they are
responsible for the 50 cents tell. The
island contains ever GO acres. At ene side
of Geat Island is a slippery but solid wood
en stairway, fastened te the rock with
heavy iron belts, leading far down into
the abyss. This is known as Biddle'3
stairway, and was built by Nicholas Bid-
die, president of the United States bank,
in 1829. There are about ene hundred
steps, leading half-way down the cliff. At
the lower end arc two paths ene leading
te the Canadian fall, the ether te the
American. The Canadian path is blocked
up, but the American is still used and
leads te the Cave of the Winds.
Price, $1. The Horseshoe Fall, as seen
from the island, has nothing of the shape
of a horse's feet, but is an . acute angle.
This falls leeks its best from Geat Island,
and only here can an idea of the immense
body of water constantly going ever be
obtained. The depth efT.be water, at the
instant of going ever is estimated at 20
feet. A ship called the Detroit, drawing
18 feet, once went ever without touching.
It was Grand Island, a few miles further
up the river, that the late Majer Neah, of
New Yerk, selected as the gathering place
for the scattered tribe of Israel. Mere
than half a century age be there laid the
corner stene of the " City of Ararat" and
built a monument, which. is still standing.
"Hew deep is thd river below the
falls ?" is a never-failing question, and
one net easy for the obliging boatman te
answer. But the aeverment settled the
question last year, when an official survey
was made. In the middle of the river, in
the track crescd by the frail ferry-beats,
the water is 192 feet deep. It is clear and
cool, and quite fit for drinking. Te dig
out the vast trench it is said the Jwater has
been falling for I forget hew many years
with a weight of 2,000,000 tens a minute.
The man who weighed it is dead. Table
Reck, en the Canadian side, is a thing of
the past. Guides still pretend te take you
under it, aud charges $1 for the kindness ;
but Table Reck fell some twenty years
age, only a few minutes after a number of
persons had left it. It was en Table Reck,
se the guides say, that Mrs. Sigeurney
wrote her "Apostrepho te Niagara." If she
could sec it new she would be mere' likely
te write a semicolon te the tell-gates and
an exclamation point te the hack-drivers.
About a mile above whero Table Reck
used te staud is the Burning Springs. The
spring is at the head of the rapids, and
the water is charged with gas, which
burns when lighted. AVhcnever the
people in charge of the spring sec a visitor
coining they light the gas. Anybody who
has 50 cents worth of curiosity cau see the
gas burn iu a dark room. The new sus
pension bridge, about a quarter of a mile
below the falls, is l.eOO feet long, aud the
natives are fend of calling it the longest
suspension bridsre in the world. It has
slender towers 100 feet high, te which, of
course, au admission tee is charged. It is
wide enough for only ene carriage at a
time, and for this reason it sometimes
takes nearly an hour te get across it. It is
very high, 190 feet above the water. Na
ttves buy commutation tickets ever this
bridge.at the rate of 8 cents each. Strangers
pay 50 cents. The old suspension bridjre.
two miles further down the river, was built
by J. A. Roebling. In crossing either of
these bridges, a custom house eflicer comes
out and examines your baggage. As they
leave you nothing en the American side,
and thcre is nothing te buy en the Cana
dian side, this is au unnecessary precau
tion. The whirlpool rapids, aud the whirl
pool itself, wcre both built for the benefit
of hackmcu. They are some distance away
aud there is no comfortable way te reach
them but with a carriage. The water in
the rapids is said te be 250 feet deep.
It was in an unintentional visit te the
whirlpool and greater things beyond that I
gained the experience of Niagara hackmen
that has since served me well. Starting
out en a 25 cent trip from the Spencer
Heuso, under contract te be taken te the
falls aud back for "a quarter," I was
gradually inveigled into driving down te
the old suspension bridge, up the Canadian
side, and ever two or three tell bridges,
till the hackman's bill was a little ever
10, te say nethiug of the live or six toll tell
gates en the Canadian side, between the
bridge ami the falls.
Falls street is the principal street in this
town of 3,000 inhabitants. It has all sorts
of stores aud sevcral large hotels, and a
great many trees. It is. a bread street,
dusty, and net particularly attractive.
Down at the American end of the old sus
pension bridge is a town with the ambiti
ous name of Niagra City. It is composed
priucially of restaurants and alehouses. If
thcre is a house in the town where oyster
stews are net te be had it is devoted te the
manufacture of lemonade. Between the
two towns is the Oakwood Cemetery. At
