XIagai a Falls in Winter.
Have "you ever, asks a correspondent of
the New loik Commercial, seen this mighty
cataract and, its surroundings when the Frost
King held sway over them? If not you have
never yet seen Niagara in its greatest beauty
and marvcloasncss. From above the great
fall, down both sides of the river to below
the ferry, every tree and shrub is cncaccd in
frozen spray not ice, like frozen water tim
ply, but a pare, solid, whito mas?, granular,
like fine marble. the perpendicular cliUs col
umned with mighty icicles, which appear like
vast supports to tbeseTeternal walls cf stone.
Flashing in the sunlight, the wholar scene a
yon approach the river's, bank Jwtles sight
and brings to raind all the glories of the' fairy
scenes whereof we read ia that ch ild's book
of enchantment, the "Arabian Nights.
Luna Island Little Luna from across the
stream, looks, with her stunted cedars weigh
ed down and covered with this frost work,
lik? a heard of white elephants; but when you
go over to it, and wtlk ia v.nder, as you can,
you aro really in a grotto of diamonds the
bright eun shining down and giving an ep
pearance of splendor not elsewhere to be
found. The eddies have clogged and cemen
ted the cakes of ice that came down over the
falls, and a bridge is formed for foot passen
gers, and seemingly strong enough to bear a
horse. Of this, as there is nothing to pay
for crossing and looking, (& wonder of the
Niagara's wonder) numbers hourly take ad
vantage. Standing cn mid river and lookiug
upward, the scene is impohiugly grand and
beautiful. With a pole I measured through
the different fissures to ascertain the thickness
of the see, and found it was nearly fifteen feet.
Getting as near raid river as I could. I
"spread myself," and stood oa the water with
one foot on Q'icen Victoria's dominions, the
other on our own. The scene by moonlight
and starlight is equally beautiful, standing
on the ice, the flashing of the water and the
brightness reflected from the ice enabled me
to read easily the ordinary print of a news
paper. Believe me, Niagara in winter will
repay a journey from the extremes point of
our country, and it is surprising that so few
take advantage of the facilities for reaching
it, and witnessing the glorious burst of raJi
ance which nature at this season there spreads
out.

Not many years ago two young Frenchman
oue wealthy and in possession of ready
cash, the other poor and penniless occupied
by chance the eamc room in a suburban -hotel.
In the morning the seedy one rose first,
took from his pocket a pistol and holding i;
to his own for'diad, and backing against the
door, exclaimed to his horrified companion:
"It is my last desperate resort; I am pen
niless and iired cf life; give me five hundred
francs, o: I will instantly blow out my brains,
and you will bo arrested as a murderer!'" The
other passenger found himself the hero of an
unpleasant dilemma, but the cogency of his
companion's argument struck him "colJ;"
he quietly crept to his pantaloons handed over
the amount, and the other vamoosed after
locking the door on the outside. Hearing of
this, another Frenchman of very 6avage as
pect, one night contrived to room with a tall
Lrawboned gentlcmon from Arkansas, who had
been rathrr free of his money during the
day, and evidently had plenty more behind.
Next morning "Pike," awaking, discovered
Lis room mate standing over him with a'pistol
levelled at his own forehead, and evidently
quaking with agitation. "What ia are
you stacdin' thar for in the cold'" asked Pike,
propping himself on his elbow, and cooly
surveying the Gaul. "1 aia desperatt!" was
the reply; "you gives to me one hundred dol
lar or I blow out mine nrains!" "Well, then
Llow acd be dammed"' replied Pike, turning
over. Bote you vill be arrest for za meatre,"'
persisted Gaul, earnestly "E'a what's thatV"
aiJ Pike, "oh, I see!' and tuddenly draw
ing a revolver and a large bowic from under
his pillow, he sat upright. "A inaa 12 ay as
well be hung for a sheep as a lamb," he cool
ly shouted; and at the wcrd he started for
the Gaul, but the latter was too nimble the
"Loss pistol," innocent of lead, exploded in
the air, and with one frantic leap our little
Frenchman was standing in his night robe
at the foot of the staircase. A proof that

The Smelling Committee. Theslyle, says
the Washington Eceainj Star, ia which tha
majority of Mr Covodc's committee are dis
charging their duties, is in fair keeping with
that inaugurated by the never-to-be-forgotten
"Hiss Committe" of the Massachusetts Leg
islature. Washington is foil of jokes con
cerning the way in which Mr. C. 13 pecpiog
under the political beds he corncs across, and
peeping into the contents cf what he imag
ines he finds there. So far, however, hs has
found literally nothing. Ia finding it. he Las
exhibited to the world the fact that Lis pur
pose is not to seek f r truth, let rather, for
some god send malevoleul gossip, out cf
which ho hopes to bo able to manufacture
6ome dirty charge as Hiss was looking up
when coseing in tha dormitories of the reli
gious house in Charlestown. Massachusetts.
11:3 questions asked yesterday of Collsctor
Schell, were as silly as impudent. Yet it is
fortunate he asked them; because they prcTe
that he U already aware that he has so far
discovered nothing whatever oa which to base
a plausible charge against the 1' resident,
his political opponents at large.
