EXPLORING WATKINS GLEN.
Correspoodent of the Boston evening Transcript.
In order to make our connections
between this place and WFftkins Glen,
We found we must take an early ora
late train.. We therefore decided to
make sure of the cool morning
and so started before five o'clock.
The day began to break as we pass
ed up Sheshequin Valley, and the
first rays of sunlight touched
tops of some high rocks, once known
here as " The Narrows." _Heavy
mists hung over Ulster and "queen
Esther's Flats," but at Athens the
morning clouds had rolled' away.
Here we crossed "the . Susquenanna
near its confluence withttie Cht
mung. There was once an. Indian'
village. called 11l hogs , at: is place.
This was afte*ards ePiged to
Tioga, and_for asltincr time -was tall
ed- Tioga Point.
The large towns, Warly and
Elmira, Were just waklngtifii when
we passed through, but ( Watkins was
wide awake when "the traiiarriVed.
As we stepped upon the platform we
saw Seneca Lake close to she track
on our right; ; . Seneca. Lakt - , so) , fa
ilier to us all through Percival's
.1,
'L. Eisunan
if eb.l IS
' ."
On thy fah' bosom, allvertike.”
This beautiful sheet of water, like
another, might 'be called the smile'
of the Great Spirit,7 fur it is said its
waters never be'Come-boisterons, and
are never
,frozen over . Yes,,Watkins
teas awake, for an army of drivers of
vehicles of every descriptip*fell up
on our,small part and iiiiiSted
- on taking us. to the Glen. 4o persis
tent and vociferous were' they,. we
were almost forced to believe we
must go to 'the MountSirillouse, and
had nothing else to do. We walked
on, however, and turnifix to our
•right, soon found ourselves at a small
building which constitutes the gate:
-way to the
. Glen, and which is not
mare than half a mile from the lake.
Here we procured our tickets, and
-divesting ourselies °N all unpessary
articles about us, and/'reducing our
wardrobeto the lighteaVixrasible
leondition, we stepped forth into the
Glen.
J. N. CALIFF
TOWANDA,TA
It is Impossible to give our first
impressions of this wonderful place.
On three sides were huge walls of
rocks? towering so high as to almost.
seem to lancet o'verhead. At our feet
ran a =till stream, gurgling and
rushing along as if eag.st to reach
the lake • below. Here was a • vast'
rocky amphitheatre with sides cover:,
ed with ferns In& shrubs and masses
of evergreens, a fitting vestibule to
the wonderful gorge : beyond. At
first we mightbelievOlere was noth
ing beyond. Only rc.:,small rift in
the rocks showed any place for in
gress, and the"roar of distant waters
allured us- on. Turning a sharp cor
ner at the right we fo,und before us
the 66 Entranee Cascade," a sheet of
water-falling sixty feet. The gorge
was narrow here, but a low , e'
and steep
flight .of, stairs led us to the top of,,
this cascade, and to another level
this ravine. We have neither time
nor space - to give a detailed descrip
tion of this .wonderful Glen. It seems
to me•the half has never been told . of
it. Hare is an ,immense 'rift in the
hills, running mostly east and west,
three miles iu length, with-a total as:
cent of six hundred feet. It is
spoken- of as a ravine - betwel i two
hilts, but,as one goes on, the i p
talon grows stronger that ,atLsom "
time thtirg, must have been agreat
convulsion of nature and.upheaving
of the earth. which .has tip the hills
asunder. The• odurse of the, rift is
circuitous and irregular . 'Sometimes
the rocks converg at the base•and
leaves a very narrow channel for the
water, and again they separate at the
base and converge at the top, until
only .a thin line of sky is to be seen
far above.. As we ascelid from height

As words can neer define.
And I turned to see our darling

tiiheight—l'or this. really "consists
of 41 number of glens.rising one above
another "—we come _ upon now am
phitheatres 'with towering _jugged
sides,. containing the 'loveliest of
limpid pools.
Great paint; have been taken to
make a trip through the Glen safe,
comfortable and comparatively easy.
We must confess it is no light work
to constantly climb '
up long flights
of - alm - ost perpendicular stairs, now
down another flight, now over a foot
bridge, and now along a narrow pith
out in thd sides of the rocks. All is
made very secure by 'stout-iron rail
ings.'
• It is not' possible to mistake our
way we have only to-follow the well .
'worn foot-path, and ifi'6, names of the.
different places are printed in large
letters:;onthe sides of thnrocks.Our
first entreirwaa into EntranCe Am
phitheatre,:froM which, we turned to
Entrance: Cascade, and, after ascend
ingnurifirst stairs, we, came to Glen
:it-101a. _Bac." -we crossed.the chasm'
by; Sentry'..: Bridge,. • And here, look
ing, from the 'bridgej_., I think 'the.'
gaffdeur of the .Glen impressed me
more than at any one time.
Up to thispointiWe had, been: con
stantly Surprised'. The views had
opened befo,miria unexpectedly and
were an increasing source of wonder
and delight. Crossing Sentry Bridge
we came to a abort flight of steps,
,and then ri narrow path cut into the
rocks. • 44 Still. Water Gorge" was
flie name printed on the cliffs, and
tke'Falls of Minnehaha, " Laughing
Water," . were before . us. Just' be
yond' rose a walltliirtjr :feet High,.
down-Which fell F airy Cascade. We
were'no* walkingT,aloYng the' sedon I -
plateau, and - far abOve, the water.
The place seethed like a huge rocky
hill, from whose covering sides all
ioundi reverberated,. Now we came
to a sort of balcon3/- with seats, of
which we' gladly availed, ourselves..
It was delightful to sit Here and ex
amine our surroundings. What . a
bewildering wildness ! Only that each
nook and corner and point of,, rock
bad .its visible name, this would seem
likesotne new And unknown world.
We could not . :lOse ourselves, how-.
ever:. This was Cavern Gorge, and
at our feet lay Neptune's - Pool, .cipe
of the largest basins, as perfet .in
proportiMiTand finish as.if carved
and polished by baud: These basins,
called,c4so _bowls and tubs and:butt's
and Pools, were very interesting.
They were formed by the falling.of
rocks and ;sand' into the bed of the
stream, where, in time of freshets,
they were, whirled round and round.
until deep holes were ground
,out
and highly polished.
The next place. we came to was-a,
- very narrow giforgeOilsely. - called the
Labyrinnts. No ray of:Sunshine pen
etrated this place. The water, gur
gling and struggling through it,
sounded as if it come from tliethro - at
of a big bottle. :Rtre, we came -tci
our fourth' falls, Called__QaVern
Cade,,which are "Jorty oiefifty feet
Behind these falls we entered a cir
cular cavern hung aound with num
erous. mosses and 'lichens, always
fresh and green. Here-, .we Were at
the limits of the secondlevel. From
tifis, , point. we climbed' , a_.flight of,
aid:rest perpendicular stairs. . Our.
guide book says of this place, " We
ascend seventy feet and are glad to
avail ourselves of the rustic seat at:
the top." By this tithe rest. was a
necessity. We were glad to sit with
eyes closed and listen to the dashing
waters below, andthe rippling waves
above, and the soughing of the winds
through the pines and hemlocks,which
were like so many reed instruments.
Now we followed the path. cut' in
the rocks.iintil we came to another
short flight of steps and another bal
cony from which the view was inde
scribablygrand. The towering cliffs
and broken crags far above and be
low us, the dashing cascades and sil 7
very pools, made a picture long to be
remembered. And everywhere, over
rocks nrinorges, grew the most lux
uriant iftgetation ; — agreat variety of
ferns, Which we were particularly re
quested'not to touch,. and of lichens
and mows; which we v. l uld not,
reach:"
Leaving this place we soon came
to the Swiss Chalet, which was built
upon a shelf of rock overhanging
the widest part of the midland gorge.
Here wealadly' rested and partook
of refreshments, seated at a table in
the halcony, which hung over the
cliff:" 109 feet above the level of the
itreatu.'N-- We were-much surprised
to filfiLafter our two - Rours climbing
that.wp were but.a half- agile up the
gorge, and were only* garter of the
waythiough, and hail yet the wildest
and- Most, remarkable . Ott of the
Glen 4.9 _gee. • From the Chalet we
crossed an iron brill e:to the Moun
tain ItOuse opposite, which seemed
to .be . full of people, - and a very at
tractive place tor a summer'airest:'
. Leaving the Chalet, we came to a
gateway where we—werobliged to
r.p._resent our tickets, from' . which' we
seeme d to be newly lanneh'ed into the
Glen: •Now we went down an easy
pathway l .until - we came to the bed of
the streant, - where we could see - and
examine and even dabble in' a large
number of those beautifuLpolished
basins of which -we have spoken be
fore. They are truly' remarkable.
Abitive us was another waterfall.
-called Sylvan Rapids, to which ire
ascended by steps• cut in the rock.
Here we crossed the chasm by a
bridge, and found ourselves ,in a
broad amphithpatTe called the Cathe
dml,' which is neatly an.
_eight of a:
mile' in length ' ; a glorious place,, in
which we would gladly linger for a
longtime; most fitly named; too,
with its high, rocky walls, and leiel
and almost - smooth floor of rocki.
At the upper end was another fall or
succession of falls, called 'Ventral
Cascade. The water comes from a
great height, but seems to be broken
in its fall. _
No* we,come' to two very high
flightti of stairs with a platform be
' tweet' for ieet. Not far from this we
came to a ,veranda aplace for•ft
really aruLfor observation. Must I
confess it?_ We here held a consulta
tion as to whether we should • make
.this our stopping place or should go

Suet then a party of Scotch ladies
came down and we appealed to them,
"It is very tiresome," said the old:
est, "but I think I / should go," after
deliberate thoolht. This decided
t ose who were faint-hearted and 1,.
a .rted on. ••• •
•
Soon we carne to ,a bridge, 41 . tia
Be crossed and then followed a very
arrow foot-path cut in the rocks.
Next we cause to Tripple Cascade,
three lovely falls called the finest in
the Glen. Our path lay behind a
sheet of water, which dashed dowr.
the side of the shelving rocks. The
sunshine falling on this glittering
spray gave the most beautiffil tints
of the rainbow. .
Now' our pathwily wound around
iii the most perplexing• manner up .
steep .stai ' and -- across bridges.
Here was :flight a -very, oarrow
stone steps eut in the rock, and be
y krnd a p thway , also cut in - the
rock—a me e line for a foot path
along the m ddle-of the cliff. , The
place is fil led- with the molt uncer
ii
lain and so bre light.- We think
this is the • 1 st path, and begin to
look back to get a view of the paths
we have been over, when we -find
oureelves at another bridge, and.in
still another glen, even wilder and
more beautiful if possible thapJhose
before. At many points the - gorge
is so narrow that trees 'have fallen
across and lodged on the opposite
side, making a natural bridge.
At last we reach :glen Facility,
where the mast •remorkable feature
of this wonderful gorge come to at
end. We art now two 'miles and a
half from ; . kiitrance Amphitheatre.
Above us are; ether 'pmts of inter
; but we 'gladly turtling back,

he could turn a Tulelato a gun-car

strapped on a mule's back,-pointing
in the direction •or greatest musics

loaded with ball cartridge.. Then
they took the mule out oil the blutT
to..practice shooting at a • target in
the river. The officers stood round
in a Semicircle, while the major went
up and inserted a time fuse -in the
vent of the howitzer. - When the fuse
was ready the major lit it and retired.
In a minute or.two the hitherto un
ruffled mule heard the.fizzing back
on his neck, and it made him uneasy.
He reached his -,
,heed round to - aseer
thin what was going' on, and, as be
did-so his body-turned, and tae how
itzer begin to sweep aronod-the.hori

!Aar into the river, as if they didn't
ear° anything at all about the. high.
Price of uffiforms; the . adjtitant 'made
good tine toward the fort; a' ser
geant began to thra*Ap breastworks
with his bayonet; the major rolled
over and groaned. In a minute or
two there was•a putr,of\ smoke, and
a dull thud, and the mule—oh, where
was he! A solitary-brute might have
been seen turning successful back
somersaults oi-er . the bluff, only to
rest at anehor.finally-_with his howit

the ball went bit toward the fort, hit

How they vome to us on.our birthday ,
as we grow older. - Never again young,
always nearer and nearer to the Very
fast—the end which is universal,
" the last thing which shall follow all
last things, and turn, them, let •us
hope, from pains to, joys.'!_ We pnt'
away our boyish toYs with an OA
heartache. We are too old to, wit*
any longer on our._ stilts—too. tall 'to
play marbles on' tbe,siclewalks. Vet
there was a' pang when we thought

REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION PROM AMY QUARTER.
From the FelladelphlaTlmes.
Quite a large searching yarty has
been organized in Eastern Berke for
the purpose of scouring Multlepberg
.d Ruscombmanor townships to
tint Op, and capture if possible, one
Of---the skrangeat-looking beasia ever
beard of Within the borders of this
country. What gives emphasis to
the sincerity .of the people engaged
is the fact that responsible and re
liable parties were first to report
having .seen -the so-called monster.
A son of lirison_lnspeetor Schmehl
was the' first to brin&the intelligence
to Tonton &Sim. 0. Hinner
shiti, proprietor of the leading hotel
there, and. a - nunabet of others went
in pursuit what Mr. Sclimehl de*
cribed. The monster had been, re
pouted on Previous. occasions, and
when Mr. Sohnibill Egiw it was lying
near 11%--gat t e! entrance to a "field
through which he was about driving
a lot of ..cattle. The "what-is-it" is
represented to be about four feet tall,
long arms, with -but tivo talon-like
fingers on each paw; feet withont
toes, furrows on its head, body
smooth and naked, quite yellow look
ing as if it had been wallowing in
clay. Jared Rissmiller heard of the
animal:— It had run up toward
Schmehl with extended patsy; and
then darted into it cornfield and was
lost--to.. view. The , two men then
went in search; and discovered the
animal on the other side of the field
lying near the fence., It reared up
on its hind legs like a man. Riss
miller says it is yellowish-brown in
color, has no hair, small eyes and
face, arms • about fourteen Inches
long, legs somewhat longer, the
hands and feet resembling those of a
human being, and hai two horns on
top of the` head , . The young men
made a - raid on the monster; vhen
(they say it darted toward-the forest
and was £lOOll lost. in the foliage. A
Mr. Ileektpan, also residing near
there,. is repo / fled to have seen the
beaSt and - he—is inclined to believe
that Ulm' large sized ape, that may
have esehped from some traveling
menagerie. Every cornfield is to be
searched, tog ether . with the'neighbor
ing swamps , for the purpose of ascer
taining what the young men ,have
really seen. After the.recent"iains
the farmers plainly saw very strange
looking tracks . in the sand„<oit the
roadside. ..They have also heard very
unusual howls aCnight, and the dogs of
the neighborhood have been trying to
hunt down the beast without success.
-At first a large number of people
Were disposed to view the thing as a
joke, but th;s feeling is gradually
changing. No etfOrt will be spared
to solve this matter and to discover
all that thesis in it. .
TWO INDIAN LOVE AFFAIRS.
Mentioning :the school for Indians
and others,
`some
existed in Corn
wall, Conn., some fifty years ago, a
write , • in the Sunday Afternoon says:
Aindig. others who attended • the
missiob school were two intelligent
young men of the Cherokee tribe of
Indians. One of them, known among
his. people as Weite, receivel, the
name of Boudinot, from Eliak,Bon
dinot, once Governor on .ew Jersey,
and for a long time . President of the
Ain - enc . :in Bible Society. The young
Indian, naturally gifted with a_ pleas
ing address and manner, Was wel- -
ccimed into the best families of the
village. His frequent calls at the
home of a ,prominent resident in - time
gave 1* -to some neighborly gossip,
butthe social life of the parish,.usu !
ally so quiet and placid, was stiffed
to a fever heat when the news spread
Tar and near that he -was about to
marry one of . the • fairest and most
cultured daughters in the place.
Against the wishes of her parents
and friendsphe persisted in her choice,
and the *oils were spoken, that
linked thefr:-fortunes for life. The
companiotrof ;Boudinot, the son.of
the Cherokee chief, was also -enam
ored with--;the beauty of a maiden
living near the village, and was
equally successful._ in his suit. These
love affairs_ seriously disturbed the
feeling of the 'community and hin
dered the ',progress of the school.
The Indians, with their . .,brides, re
turned to their nation, they occupy
ing a portion of Georgia. Boudinot
became conspicuous among his peo
ple as - a scholar; edited a newspaper,
and during the administration of
.Andrew Jackson- tooksa leading part
in' the arrangements'. by which the
tribe were removedi to Kansas.
'Ridge,,then one of the chiefs of the
Cherokees, was in sympathy. with
this Movement, hilt,A.:Strong party
was opposed to jeiivitig, the burial
places'pf their Patti* . The disatlect
ed portion of thetribkrafter the set
:tiement in „ A HU108"1. denounced
`Ridge and Boudinot as joitors and
untrue tcythetraditiona,pf the peo
ple, and in their hitternetis they clan
destinely murdered them:
EDUCATION THAT
. DOES NOT EDUCATE.
—The whole tendancy of modern ed
ucation is to lift toys - and girls to
places they aretnot fitted to fi ll, to
disgust them with work which they
are •fitted to. do; 1 1 . 3ich must be done,
and which can .l 'very easily obtain
ed. Our theory of education is con
tinually losing sight of a fact which.
never permits_ itself to be ignored, -
and teaching the young to lose sight
of it, that the mass of the people in
every, generation and whatever form
of government, must be laborers.
The, old heresy that every boy has a
chancttlYbe President of the United
States has done more mischief in the
small brains of boys who, when,they
attain manhood's strength, are fitted
to dig trenches and do nothing else
than it has even
,in lal get brains of
'public men who, once bitten -with the
personal application of the ideas, are
good for nothing afterwards. The
boy should havil an /education which,
when complete,- will make the sub
ject better, fitted f - pursue well the
work for which he ia - adOpted—which
makes bird not ashamed to do it, and
which thui . dignifies labor.—/ndiatia

that ha was doing duty on the tented

of fighting Indians, he drove a team for a

TOUOOO SLAVES.
SOME PECULIARITIES ABOUT TRIS
CLASS OP MEN.
A writer in the Gentleman's Maga
-zine who ably defends the moderate
use. of tobacco, relates the - following
instances to show whit a hold the
habit may havypen persons: "A
city man that know gets half an
hour fOr his / 166cm nor dinner in
the middle
, the day; but •he man
ages td cat a few biscuits during office
hours, and spends his half hour walk
ing np and down one of , the , quays
smoking.." This' Man walks to the
city every morning from 'his home,
the distance being three: miles; he
also. walk home every; vening and
he smokes incessmitlx, during the
walks "each day: 'Me dines at '
o'cloCk, and then - smokes' without
ceasing until bedtime: On Sunday
he smokes all 'day, except during
meals.; he will never attend'a place
of worship, because it would curtail
his smoking. He will never go into
society with his. wife, and, indeed,
will not readily talk to her at home,
as it disturbs his smoking.. In nil
other respects this man is a good
husband and father. Another ac
qaaintance of mine; who is a highly
intellectual and deeply-read man, will
tolerate nothing that 'may postpone
his smoke. At. dinner. he is in a v-Er
petual drive to - get Moue, so as to
begin his pipe; he wants no pudding ,
cheese, or dessert; taking"these would
involve loss of -time, and put off the,
smoking period - a few minutes long
er. • He likewise requires, no tea
or supper, protesting be is not
hungry, and that he does not wish to
be distiirbed in his smoke. Another
man that I know is in a Government
office, and when the usual public
holidays occur, such ask-the Queen's
birthday, his treat is to layn bed
all day and' smoke. The gentleman
is married, and always smoke's' his
last pipe in bed."
