But the gray,'Bullen river refused to
- give up its - dead, and the young officer,
half frantic with - grief, was compelled
to :go on to Washington'. Within a
week however, he received word from
below that the body of the lady had
been writhed on shore ; that those.good
country people, generous foes, had se
cured it, and were keeping it for him.
It happened that just at that time
imperative orders were issued from the
War Department.prehibiting all inter

it was with some misgivings that Col

his- little 'private parlor,. alone . in the

I'll drive you to thd War Department
and we'll see Stanton about this-mat-

aicithe good President, his homely
face tranSfigured With the — glow
earnest, tender feeling, " humanity
should overrule considerationi of poli

matters like this."
The Secretary was 'touched, and he,.
said something of his rdgret at not
having felt himself at liberty to grant
Colonel Scott's request in' the first
place.
• "-No, no, Mr. Stanton," said the
President; "you did right in adher

Of course, the impossible was ao

To the surprise of the Colonel, the
President insisted on driving him to

that some obstacle might be thinly') in
the way of the pious expediition. He
waited at the landing till all witS -ready,

A DAY AT NIAGARA
Tirir MARK TWAIN
Niagaia :Falls is one of the finest
structures in the' known world. I
have'beeii ;visiting this favorite water
ing plaCe- recently, for the first time,
and was well pleased. gentle!Man
who was with me said it was customary
to be disappointed in the Falls, but that
subsequent visits were sure to set that
all right. He said it was so . with
him. He said that the first time he
went the hack fares were so much
higher than the Falls that the Falls

regulated now. The' hack men have
been tamed, And numbered, and black
guarded and brought into subjection to
the law, and dosed with Moral Princi ,
ple till they are as meek as mission
aries. They are divided into two
clans now, the Regulars and the Pri
vateers, and they employ' their idle
time in warning the public against each
other.' The regulars are under the
hotel banners, and do the legitimate at
two dollars an ,hour, and thb `priva
teers prowl, darkly on neutral ground
and pick
~Off stragglers at halfprice.
But there are no-more 'outrages. and
extortions. That sort of thing oured
itself. It made the Falls unpopular
by --getting-into , -the'--newspapers, and
whenever a public evil Achieves that,
sort-of-a success t'or itself, its days are
numbered. It hecaine apparent that,
either the Fallhad to be discontinued
or the hachmeti had , A) subside. They
could .not darn the'. Falls, so they
damned the haekmen. One can be
comfortable and happy there now.
SIGNS AND SN'AIIIOLS
I drank up most of the American'
Ealls hciore I learned that the waters
were not considered medicinal: Why
are people left in ignorance in this
way ? I might have gone on and ru
ined a fine property merely fok the
want of t-o litiic trttling hiformalion.
And yet the sources of information at

means of placards on-the - wall, like
these :

"Don't nerape matches on the Wall."
" Turn offy o dr gas when you retire."
" Tie up your dog."
If you place - your boots Outside the
door they will be blacked—but the
horse, will not be responsible for their
return:"- [This' is a confusing,,,tangle
some proposition—because it moven
-you to delitiCiaie 16fig:aud painfully as
to whether it will really be any object
,to you to have your boots blacked
less•they_ ore returned.]
" Give yotir key to the omnibus

with you."
Outside the hotel, Wherever you
-wander, you are intelligeutly assiated
by the signs. , You cannot come to
grief as long as you are in your right
mind. But the difficulty in to slay in
your right wind with so much hist rue
.tion to keep track of. For instance :
" Keep off. the_gralea._
" Doif!t climb the trees."
'; ; lauds off the vegetable's."
" Do not hitch your horse to the
shrubbery." •
" Visit the Cave of the Winds."
" Have your portrait taken in your

"'Forty per cent in gold levied on
all peanuts or othif.r,lndian curiosities
purchased in Canada."
"Photographs of the Falls taken
here."
' "Visitors will please notify the Su
perintendent of any neglect on the

'• The proprietors will not be respell-

I always •had a high ward 'for the
signers of the Declaration. of Independ

It was because I noticed at last they

the very thing I was just wanted to do
I clesired to roll on the grass ; the sign

the sign prohibited it I longed to
smoke ; a sign forbade it. And I was
going to throW a stone over to astonish
and pulverize Buell parties as might be
picnieing below; ,- when a sign I have
just mentioned, forbade that.' Even
that poor satisfaction was denied me,
(and J. a -friendless orphan) There
was' no resource now, but to seek con
solation in thp flowing bowl: I drew
my flask Nom my' pocket, but it was
all in vain. A • sign confronted me
which said :

another the, character of a man as the
lord of an animate world. Of this
great and wonderful sphere, which,
fashioned by the hand of God, and up
held by -His power, is rolling through
