THE CAMOa OF NIAGARA.
Mom Mraterlon than the Falls. Them
seilves Ths Denth of the Tater--Kx-rltlnst
Kxploratlnns.
The canyon of Niagara, says s corre
spondent of the Syracuse Standard, is fur
more mysterious than the falls them
selves. Within the era of civilization
in America no one was able to success
fully pierce through the fierce and terri
ble undercurrent to the bottom, until re
cently the government itself thought it
necessary, In beh alf of science, to under
take the task. All the great schemes
imagined to be strictly scientific were
pulln operation by bunglers to obtain
the depth of water beneath the falls.
Bars ot railroad iron, pails of stones,
and all unreasonable, bulky and awk
ward instruments were attached to long
lines and cast off from th railway bridge
tvnd elsewhere, but positively refused to
sink. The very bulk of the instrument
was sufficient, no matter what their
weight, to give the powerful undercur
rent a way to buoy them upon the sur
fiico, or near it. The United States
Corp of Engineers, however, witli a
small lead of only twelve pounds
weight attached to a slender rope, or
sounding-cord, easily obtained the depths
from the falls to the lower bridge. As
your correspondent assisted in the hy
arographical operations, the facts may be
given as they presented themselves.
One day lie launched in a small boat
not far below the falls and entered on a
most exciting and perilous exploration
of the canyon. The old guide, long in
charge of the miniature ferry situated
here, accompanied the party. With
gieat difficulty we approached within a
short distance of the American falls
which darted great jets of water on us
and far out into the stream. The roar
was so terrible that no voice or human
sound, however near we were to one an
other, could be heard. The leadsman
cast the lino.which passed rupidly down
and told off eighty-three feet. This wtis
?uite near the shore. Passing out of the
riendly eddy which had assisted us up
so near the falls, we shot rapidly down
stream. The next cast of the lead told
of UK) feet, deepening to 192 feet at the
inclined railway. The average depth to
the Swift Drift, where the river suddenly
becomes narrow, with a velocity too
great to be measured, was 153 feet. Just
un-lcr the lower bridge the whirlpool
rapids set in, and so violently arc the
waters moved that they rise like otiean
waves to the height of twpnty feet. At
this point our correspondent, at the
time of the survey, computed the depth
at Uio fect.wliich is accepted as approxi
mately correct.
The terrors of the gorge below this
point are known to but few. Indeed
the foot of man scarcely ever treads this
infernal lesion, where almost perpen
dicular walls rise on each side of the
verge of the river from 270 to 300 feet in
height. Here the continually crumbling
of the rocks has formed a precipitous
pathway in places on the river's edge;
elsewhere one must cling to the crevices
in tho rock, to .jutting crags, or other
wise to get along. A parly of four of us
made a survey of the interior of this can
yon from Lewiston to Suspension Bridge.
Witli great difficulty we clambered
along. It wjw a tearful yet exciting ex
ploration. At ti mes the river would
rise suddenly some ten and even fifteen
feet ns if a great dam above had broken,
causing a hasty retreat, of the parties
up the side of the ennyon. From points
above, rocks and stones frequently fell
causing lively apprehension, and. to add
to the catalogue of embarrassments, nn
occasional rattlesnake attempted to re
tard our progress, and one of them was
killed and his rattles preserved in com-
memorat,ion of the event. Getting int-
the ennyon at Lewiston was compara
tively easy, but making one's wav out
was another thing. Nearly a mile be
low Deveaux College, which is situated
half a mile north of Suspension Bridge.
the possibility of making our way alo.ijr
the river s ertgo ceased. Aight was just
approaching, ana it was a clay s lianl
work, nearly, to make Lewiston'. Above,
the ro 'k towered nearly 300 feet. We
had the alternative of remaining in this
abode of terrors over night ana relurn-
iiiir to Lewiston the following day, or of
lighting an almost impossible passage
to tne steps leading clown Irom the col
lege. We determined to accept the
latter.
After an hour's climb we made our
way to within 100 feet of the top. where
just a narrow ridge formed by the
crumbled debris seemed to extend. We
followed this perhaps half a rod, when
it eamc to an abrupt termination. Sev
eral rods beyond was a broad pathway
leading up tothe.rocks.but in the interim
only the bare walls of rock, almost P"r-
pendicul ir from the top to the rushing
water, a ) teet below, met tlie despair
lng gaz! or our party, just above cur
neans was a crevice in mo rocks vnicii
senvd to cross the intervening spa-e
With almost certain doom staring ns
directly in the face, we determined to
try to cross by standing tiptoe in the
crevice and cling to the ju. tings of tiie
rocks. Hie various implements ot tin
nan v were divided un. a heavy tlii-mlo-
lite tfillingto your correspondent, which
was strapped on his back, metallic!
clambered up to the crevice first, tin
others assisting and following, anil the
waiter getting up lost. Then began a
perilous struggle to reach the pathway
byond. All arrived there safely, when
vour correspondent, witli the heavy
burden on his back, was but midway
across. Here a sharp rock just the height
of the breast impelled the way. In at
tempting to get around this the boot
failed to find a resting piece. The heavy
instrument was pulling me on my bal
ance. The fingers were loosening th-'ir
slender hold ; 100 feet above was the
calm, safe world, 107 below the roaring
of the waters. One foot slipped off and
was going down down; a mist caiuo
over tne eyes when my toot caught on
a slender gooseberry-bush and a hand
suddenly grasped back and drew me
around to a sate standing place. In a
moment more the pathway was reached
and the safely of all assured, but never
will the frightful scene leave the senses
One of the party saw the danger and
rescued the participant, or else the
gooseberry-bush was the saving means
we have never quite understood which.
Humors of the Paris Exposition.
Among the humors of the late Pari
Exposition, says a Washington cor
respondent, are the errors committed in
the awards of diplomas to a number of
American exhibitors, growing out of the
unfamiliarity of the commission of
awards with the American vernacular.
In looking over the diplomas which
have been received at the office of the
commissioner general the following have
been casually noted: The diploma in
tended for the Providence Tool Company
is addressed to the Providence Fool Com
pany; that for the Gardner Gun Com
pany is granted for a Fusil pour la Jar
diuiere or Gun for a Gardener: that for
the Wamsutta Mills is grafted to Mous
Wamsutta- The Waterburv Button
Company receives its diploma in tho
name of Waterbury, Button & Company
Hie commissioner general, understand
ing for whom the ciplomos were in-
tended, forwarded them to their destina
tion. I he parties, however, expressed
great disappointment, especially the
"Providence 2boZ Company," who are
anxious for a revision of the award in
so far as the designation is concerned, as
they are hardly willing to make a publics
exhibition of their laurels under any
such colors as those indicated.
Tho Interoceanlo Canal.
At the meeting of the Association for
the Advancement of Science in Saratoga,
Commander E. P. Lull, U. S. N., read a
paper on "The Interoceanlo Canal
Problem." giving an account of the ex
plorations for connecting the Atlantio
and Pacific Oceans, in which he has
been engaged witli others. A commis
sion had examined all the reports, and
tound only two practicable routes one
through Nicaragua and another by
Panama. That through Nicaragua in
cludes ns an essential feature the use of
Lake Nicaragua, situated ten miles from
the Pacific coast, bnt with a surface 107
feet above mean tide on each side. It is
119 miles from the Caribbean Sea to the
lake by tho river San Juan, the outlet of
the lake on this side. A canal from the
lake to the Pacific Ocean would be
16 3-10 miles long, only seven miles of
which would be difficult. The excava
tion would average fifty-four feet, nnd
ten locks of ten feet' lift each would be
required, with a tide lock of seven feet
at the seashore. An artificial harbor
would be required on the Pacific side,
.with a breakwater, for which the ma
terials are easy to be obtained. There
are fifty-two miles of navigation on
Lake Nicaragua which will need little
work, except at the south end, where
are some six miles of swamp. The total
length from the Caribbean Sea to the
Pacific is 180.7 miles fifty-seven on the
lake, 61.7 on the canal, and sixty-two
slack water. The estimate makes the
bottom of the canal seventy-two feet
wide, and gives twenty-six feet deptli of
water. The locks are to bo 4 ii feet long.
Estimated cost, 00,000,000, and it may
come to 8100,000.000 as the outside cost
The Panama route, near the line of
the Panama railroad, would require a
feeder nenr the summit, which can be
had. The highest place would put the
bottom of the canal seventy-eight feet
above mean tide, and the surface 61 the
water in the canal 124 feet above mean
tide. Total distance, forty-one miles,
witli twelve lift locks on each side of the
summit. The heaviest cut would be
170 feet. The feeder would require 13,-
000 feet of tunnel and two aqueducts.
The breakwater nnd sea wall at Aspin-
,vall. 1,800 feet; cost estimated at $94,-
000.000. Materials are more accessible
in Nicaragua, and the country is more
healthy. The Nicaragua line enters the
ocean nt a much less distance from the
United States on each side than the Pan
ama route.
He criticised the plans of the I rench
congress recently held, and did not re
gard a sea-level canal as practicable. In
one place the cost of the excavation of
certain cuts on his plan would be jyui.
500.000, and for the French plan at the
sea level, $40,000,000. He did not believe
this generation would ever see a sea-
lcvel canal.
Gen. Alvord. U. S. A., said, in the
discussion, that tho United States gov.
ernment hart had the matter under con
sideration for thirty years, and has sent
its best officers to examine and survey
routes.
The Use of Pain.
The power which rules the universe.
this great, tender power,, uses pain as a
signal of danger. Just, generous, beau
tiful nature never strikes a loul blow:
never attacks us behind our backs ; never
diss nitfalls or lavs ambuscades; never
wears a smile upon her lace when there
is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she
teaches us her laws, plainly she writes
her warning, tenderly she graduates their
force. Ijons before the fierce, red dan
ger light of pain is flashed, she pleads
With us as though for her own sake,
not ours to be merciful to ourselves and
to each otiier. She makes the over
worked brain to wander from the sub
ifict of its labors. She turns the over
indulged body against the delights of
yesterday. These are her caution! sig
nals. "Go slow." She stands in the
filtliv courts and alleys that we pass
daily, and beckons us to enter and realize
with our senses what we allow to exist
in the midst of the culture of which we
brag. And what do we do ourselvrs?
Weply whipand spur on the jaded brain
ns though it were a iibing horse force it
back into the road which leads to mad
ness, and go on full gallop. We drug the
rebellious body with stimulants, we hide
the original and think we have escaped
the danger, and are very festive before
night. We turn aside, as the Pharisee
did of old, and pass on the other side
with our handkerchief to our nose. At
last, having broken nature's laws, nnd
disregarded her warnings, forth she
comes drums beating, colors flying
right in front! to punish us. Then we
go down on our knees nnd whimper
about it having pleased God Almiehty
to send this affliction upon us, and we
pray Hitn to work a miracle in order to
reverse the natural consequences of our
disobedience, or save us from the trouble
of doing our duty. In otliei words, we
put our lingers in tno tire ana oeg mm
t may not nurt. icmpie uar.
The Merry Maiden and the Tar.
The San Francisco Call says: The
latest local story of the difficulties that
can and will be surmounted by true love
is that in which Captain J. K. Lcnnan,
a bold sea captain, well known in
Alaska waters, and Miss Annie B. Bun
ster, daughter of A. Bunstcr, M. P.. of
Victoria, are the interested parties. The
young lady, who is just out of her teens,
was residing in this city with friends,
for the purpose of securing tho benefit
of the high class educational institu
tions of San Francisco, hen she was
met by the gallant captain. When the
captain next saw the lady he proposed,
was accepted, and then he sought the
father. He saw him, but soon left the
house, being reminded that he was not h
ing but a " common sailor," and should
not aspire to an M. P.'s daughter. Such
a rebuke did not, however, very long re
tard the lovers, but rather hastened tho
consummation of their affections. A
license was procured, the services of the
Bev. W. L. Githens, of the Church of
the Advent, were secured, and the twain
were made one. Next day the Hon. A.
Bunster was in town, but he had come
too lata to arrest what he had feared.
He at once waited upon the reverend
clergyman and demanded by what au
thority ho performed the ceremony, ns
the lady was not of age. Mr. Githens
replied that he was not acquainted with
the circumstances of the case; Captain
Lcnnan, attended by a gentleman in good
business standing, had requested his
aid; tho lady was attended by several
highly respectable lady friends, was
twenty-one years, nnd therefore over
age, and to him every tiling was regular.
liut 1 don't recognize your laws," said
the M. P. " While in the United Statrs
you must," said the minister. Seeing
that the clergyman was not at fault
that he couldnot quarrel with the laws
Mr. liunster then regretted that he had
ever let his daughter leave home. Yield
ing at lost to the unalterable, it is said
Mr. Bunster blessed tho young couple
with a very bad grace. The following
Wednesday Captain Lonnnn again sai led
for Alaska, leaving his bride in a verv
comfortable home on Geary street.
Mad Clear Through.
It is related that Gen. Scott's famous
letter to Zachary Taylor, announcing
the withdrawal of most of the regular
troops from Taylor's command, to be
placed under his own in a projected
movement from Vera Cruz toward the
capital of Mexico, was received when
Gen Taylor was at supper with his staff"
near Monterey. I he general asked Col.
Bliss to read it to him. He had just re
plenished his coffee cup, and was en
gaged in cooling it with a spoon while
the reading went on. llns appeared to
make no further impression unon him
than that indicated by a contemptuous
snilt, but as the real import ot the let
ter began to appear his whole manner
changed, and he abstractedly dipped the
: - . i 1 f . . i i i
buuuu iiifcu Buuniui iiiusuuu, which eat
upon the table, and stirred it in the cof
fee, ihis he repeated until by the time
the reading of the letter was finished
the contents of the mustard bowl were
exhausted. Without saying a word,
and to Bliss' astonishment and horror.
he raised the cup to his lips and gulped
down tne whole abominable compound,
He then broke into an excited and pro
fane harangue, consigning to everlasting
miamy every one concerned in the pro
posed depletion of his forces, and only
ceasing when his speech was overtaken
by a paroxism of stuttering, which, witli
him, usually followed a violent out
break of temper. The colonel felt sure
that from the amount of mustard lie had
swallowed, combined with the intelli
gence he had received, it would infalli
bly sicken him, but nothing uncommon
came ol it. lt.itsbane, at that mo
ment," said Bliss, " would. I am con
vineed, have had no more effect upon
him than upon tho stomach of a Mith-
ridntos." lien, l leasanton, who com
manded the general's escort in Mexico,
says that when once thoroughly aroused
he was the maddest man he ever saw
mad lrom the crown of his hat to the
soles of his boots.

narrow escape from a bottomless pit a
fortnight ago. lie had charge of a con
struction train and was hauling (travel.
A short distance out of Bouicia, and be
yond Government Point, is n picoe of
tuie land, inousanos ana tnousauus oi
yards of dirt were thrown upon it when
tlie road was built, and yet in a short
time, even during the night, out of sight
the whole would go. At last the road
was ballasted and the track laid, and the
rai.road authorities were smiling at the
thought of having their road in good
working order bv tlie hrst of hcptemier.
The engineer noticed that tlie earth had
a depressed appearance, but he was so
tir advanced that it was impossible to
stop, and having on a powerful head ol
steam, he opened tlie valve and went
rushing over the dangerous place, and
at the same time felt the ground settling
under the tram. In a moment tliey
were over the morass, and upon check
ing the engine the men on the train
looked back, and for a distance of over
three hundred feet they saw the ground,
the ties nnd tlie track la one vast body
go down into the bottomless pit a dis
tance of fifty feet.
Counterfeit Eggs.
Several most staid and dignified Brit
ish journals have recently been most
richly sold by a ridiculous story in the
San Francisco Post last winter about tlie
manufacture of artificial eggs in Call
forma for transportation. Ihe pleasant
squib was much enjoyed by newspaper
exchange editors on this side of the
water.but produced a very dinerentenect
. I . . i j r r . i A a .
on tno oiuer siuu. iorming ine text oi
grave and even indignant articles in the
TVt Jfa" Gazette, the Mark Lam Ex
press, the Melbourne Australian, and
even in the leading Prussian paper, the
Kreuzzeitung. Ihe latter, indeed, re
views tne article in great iengtn ana
concludes that the importers should be
warv in the matter ot American pro
ducts, because a chemical study of the
new egg, based upon tne, rosi aeserip
tion, shows it to be rank poison. " The
wooden hams and nutmegs sent irom
New England," says the angry Kreuz
leitung, "are still fresh in memory, and
now the Americans boldy hiipose upon
the world a counterfeit egg. lioston Ad

A Thief iu a Chest.
A young girl named Katie De Roy, who
was arrested in I'luiadeipiua on sus
picion of robbing a house some time be
fore, told a most extraordinary story.
Mie entered the cellar oi tne nousn,
where she left her shoes, and went up
to the girl's room. 1 he servant saw her
crawnne neneatn a bed ana caused tin
alarm. Ihe room was searched, but the
intruder could not be found. There
was an old chest in the room, hut no
one thought of looking into it. Yet the
strange thief was there, and there she
remained without food or water for
thirty hours. There was sickness in the
house, and everybody in the house was
awake all night. The next night, how
ever, everybody slept soundly, and the
young thief ransacked the whole house
and carried oil some change from the
gentleman s pocket, olio let a conled-
erate into the house, but as she refused
to let him carry off the silver lie lett
without much booty, she was neatlv
dressed and a pretty figure, thgugii
without much intelligence in hr lace
She was from Reading, and had only
bet n two months in the city. Her com
mittal to prison followed to answer for
tne robbery.
The forest near Dillon, Kansas, has an
uncommon hermit in tne person oi a
young and not ugly women, wiio lodges
in a rude hut, eats vegetables ana game
of her own getting, and will not say a
word to persons who intrude upon her
It is conjectured that she is insane: bur.
aside from her lonely mode of life, there
is nothing in her conduct to sustain that
belief.
Dr. E. B. Foote's Health Monthly avers
that "it is now possible to reproduce
the voice and the handwriting at a great
distance bv meani of an electric wiro
and suitable apparatus, and an instru
ment is being pertected whicu wiuniaKe
