LETTER PROM NIAGARA.
IntorotltiK Gorreioiidince From 11 Shell
hiiiIoiiIi Hclioul Txcli4-r.
Editor IIkkAM In conaldcratlou for tho
groat kindness shown mo by my frlonds dur
ing tho contost In giving mo tholr support, I
will endeavor to tell what I saw on my trip
to Niagara Kails.
Wo left Slioiiuutloali ut U.08 a. in., Aug. 10,
nnd arrived in Iluilalo at 10. 15 p. m. Here
wo decided to remain for tho night. Knrouto
wo patsed through tho beautiful
Wyoming Valloy and could not help
remembering how hero occurred a massacre
(luring our struggle for independence, lie
sido noting tho points of beauty on all sides,
our trip was very much enlivened by tho
presence of n number of musicians, who rcn
dcrcd Bomo fine selections.
Hut tho objcctlvo point was tho Falls, and
thither wo went. When, as I am writing, I
think of tho impression which this most won
dorful creation of a Supremo Iicing had on mo,
nnd hear its mighty roar, I fail to ilnd words
to describe it, and most heartily wish that all
may somo day behold it.
Among tho many points of interest which
wo visited I would luuno Goat Island,
Luna Island tho triple islands of thtco sisters
and tho Whirlpool Kapids. Wo also crossed
tho Suspension Bridge to view tho Tails from
both tho American and Canadian sides -Hut
to mo tho most awe-inspiring part was to
stand at tho foot of llorsoshoo Falls and
look up at that enormous volumo of water
ovor rushing over a perpondicular height of
105 feet, and never ceasing in its How. It Iiub
been estimated that 11 vo billion barrels of
water How over overy twenty-four hours, a
quantity which the finite mind cannot grasp.
As wo Blood hero tho spray roso to tho
heaven like a thick veil ot mist, whilo on
looking irom tho top this mist and the sun
shining on it formed a most beautiful rainbow
-with a back ground of what looked to mo
llko a great mass of ico brokon into count
less small pieces.
At every turn somo now beauty struck tho
sight until at length wo turned away bewll
derod and could but oxclaim, "How wonder
ful aro Thy works 1"
Whon wo crossed tho bridgo wo soon dis
covered that wo wore not treading on our
native soli, becauso hero wo saw tho Kuglish
flag floating around us instead of our glorious
stars and stripes. Hero wo wont through
beautiful Victoria Park, and had our atten
tion drawn to tho battlo field of Luudy's
JLano.
I could now toll tho height of the different
falls and tho width at different places of tho
river, but so much has been written on this
jwlnt, which all havo undoubtedly read, that
for mo to attempt to repeat would be of no
interest. As our stay hero is drawing to a
close, with indulgouco I will use tho words
of another to express tho impression which
tho Falls havo mado.
'l'low on torover, In thy glorious robo
OI terror ana ot beauty. Yea, flow on,
Unfathomed and resistless. God hath sej
Ills rainbow on thy fojehcad, and tho cloud
Mantled around thy teet. And lie doth give
Tbo voice of thunder power to speak of Him
Eternally bidding tho Hp ot man
Keep silence, and upon thine alter pour
IncenBO ot awe-struck prulse."

Ixmxw. Auk. 33. The march of tho
linking miners from the Hhondaa Valley
lo Ebbw Valley, Wales, proved n complete
lizzie. Tho object of the strikers was to
force the miners In the Ebbw Vnlleydin-
Irict who tiro still nt work to leave tho
Inineft mid join tho strikers. About 4,000
lien wero In line when the lnnruli began.

Imck to their home. Not many milenlmd
lce!i traversed beforo there wna n more
mpid (lwindlluK in the number of the
Inurohers, tho men now openly ileeiiiiiK
their comrade.
When thoie who had coni'- ! the
Inarch had readied Merthyr " il they
Were met by a strong force of t. ..'re, who
announced that they would march the
rest of the distance with them. Thin fur
ther dampened tho nrdor of tho strikers,
and a majority of them quietly wended
their way back to tho place from which
they bad started. Only 200 of tho -1,000
Men who hud started persisted In their de
termination to proceed. Tho police did
tiot think it necessary to accompany this
tmall number, and consequently they were
Itllowed to k ahead without n polleo es
cort. It is evident they did not go far,
however, for .hey havo not yet arrived nt
their alleged destination. Tho non-union
miners are still nt their work.

TRAMPS ENJOYING LIFE.

Thero aro over fifty tramps In rendezvous
about half a mile from Slabtown, In tho Roar
ing Creek Valloy, who arc living on tho best
to bo had In that neighborhood, and they
seem to bo enjoying themselves. Thoy havo
nearly all tho comforts of a homo thero, and
aro right in tho ccntro of a good producing
neighborhood, whore they havo llttlo troublo
In getting food. The only thing thoy
lack Is "cawfay." That, they say, Is very
difficult to get, s their neighbors pcrslit In
keeping It out of tho cellar and thoy Jock tho
upper part of their houses.
When a reporter called at tho camp tho
other afternoon thero were a dozen or more
of tho wandering boys stretched beneath tho
shady trees, and close by them were tho dying
emborsof a flru In a rudely constructed firo
place, aud tho remains of tlireo or four fat
pullets, innumciablo roasting ears and pota
toes. Their noonday meal had Just been
ended and they were enjoying a sleep which
their medical adviser told them was a splen
did aid to digestion. None of them seemed
to bo troubled with dyspepsia or kindred dis
eases, but they wcro taking no chance.
They all awakened when tho reporter en
tered tho camp, and with remarkable unanim
ity they inquired :
Say, cap, liov yo got any torbacccrV" and
learning that "cap" had none, thoy fell back
Into a doze again, unmindful that a stranger
was in camp, and with tho reckless abandon
of men who do not need tollo awako to guard
their valuables. Ono big fellow who could
not look toward tho creek without shuddering
at tho thought that It was largely composed of
water, was drawn into conversation. He said
ho was Colorado "Pete."
I'm not a tramp," was his superfluous
oponlng explanation; "I'm on do bum temp'
prilly. Do ship in silver turn mo out of work
an I'm forced into dls. I've tried to got
suinthin' to do but can't. Y' seo I've been
used ter workln' about the silver mines, an' I
can't get n tap to do at mo trail e. I can't
work very well at anything olso, an' I'vo got
ter wait till Congress passes do frco coinage
law. It's not tine dat wo'vo been robbin'
peoplo about here. Course wo'vo bin fotag-
in' a little. I'll admit dat, but den wo must
live, an' how'llwe livo unlcsswogctsumtbin'
to eat? It's rediclus to think so. Wo call
dls placo Camp Wait, part In honor of my
friend Guverner Wnltoand part because wo'ro
waitin' t'seo wot Congress will do. fc'ny can't
you duff up nuff stuff to got us cawfay? 1
tink if I could jess get ono cup ot good black
cawfay it ud put my stummick in llrtt class
skapo. Dercs nuthln' llko cawiay when
you's travlin' 'less 'tis a snifter of booze
now'n then."
"Tell you wot,' said a worn nnd weary ono
who was resting his head at tho roots of tho
treo that shaded Gov. Waito's gen'leiuan
frcn',"dls fnanshul stringgency is jus ruinnin
tho country. Would you b'licve it, out
dero's tousands of hones men, like me, trown
idlo by it. My bizness is ruined an I'm lef
widout a frcn' in do worl'. Wot blznes was
I in? Wy, I was a coiu collector, but dcro so
raro now dat dcro isn't a decent livln In it
for any one. Waro was my placo of blznes?
Wy, at do East St. Louie er' of do big bridge.
Do toll dero's a nicklc, an' it was do bes'stan'
in do country. No good now. Say pard
could'n you givo mo a nicklo? I think I kin
get som cawfay near hero."
They all had stories to tell, but the ma
jority of them assuied tho visitor that they
were honest workingmcn with good trades,
who were thrown idlo by the general busi
ness depression. As a matter of fact that the
dullness of trado never bothered most of them
half so much as tho discovery of an empty
cellar, unproductive spring house or a chicken
less hencoop.

tures in all sorts of odd weaves, dots, threads,
cross-threads, hair-lines, lines here and there,
many at a glance appearing alike, but upon ex
amination are found entirely different. Our
assortment of silks is complete china silks,

We have this season, for the first time,

expectations. This department will be under
the same management aud conducted on the

our entire business. We shall keep everything
