NAeAnA.~.Niapara Falls il 4 preat

NIAGARA Niagara Falls is d great
Amerieanism 1t would be inappro-
PIRATE in any other country, and among
other people. Whoever passes from,
the East to the West, without stopping
here to worship-no matter how tnany
pilgrimages he has made-is guilt not
only Of every bad taste but OF lack Of
patriotism, amounting almost to ire
ligion. America is written all over
the Falls. It's roar is that Of the
nation. Its majestic sweep typifes
the grand progress Of America. The
maddening, dashing, seething, bub-
bling, pitching, uneasy flood, typiies
the intensity Of the American mind
and the vitality of American action.
Here is the fountain Of young Ameri-
cn--bele the breast which gives it
milk, here the nurture which gives it
vitality, And then the rainbows, hov.
ering over aud about the scene, do they
not signify the promise which America
gives to mankind, the hope which it
implants in weary laden hearts, the
home which it furnishes to the outcast
and wanderer from governmental OPP
preston and social villainy elswhere.

THE IMrER1AL CANAL OF CHINA. -
One Of the most extraordinary works
of art in the world is the Imperial Ca
nal Of China. This wonderful struc
ture, which was built by the Mopgol
Emperor, Kublai Khan, extends iron,
the vicinity Of Pekip, at which city the
same Emperor fixed the seat of govern.
nent, to the Yang tse Kiang. river, a
distance Of more than six hundred
miles to the southwark. The canal il
in some places tunnelled through
heights, and at others it is carried
through lakes, and over marshes and
low grounds by means Of stupendous
embankments. Rivers feed II, and
goodly ships sail on its waters 1t is
used not only as great commercial
highway, but as an irrigator and drain
to the country through which it flows,
aud renders available much lond that
would otherwise be useless. The ca
nal exhibits sound practical skill, and
even genius, on the part Of its con-
siructors, and as work Of labor it is
gigantic. 1t is one of the greatest of
those great works which are to be met
with III China on II larger scale than in
any other country III the world.

SERVICE. The 7Hibodanr Wiueypa
says that the Paris correspondent of
tho New York Tribune writes as fol-
lows Of n gentleman well known to
many of our citizens, and who former.
ly represented the Parish Of Ascen-
sion in our State Legislature
DR.. Cottman, of Louisiana, a gentle
man who left this city two months ago,
to join the Russian army, has, it
seems, by late advices which l have
just received from st. Petersburg,
been placed high in power by the
Emperor. He has received q surgi-
cal rank in the army which gees him
the title and position of military coun-
seller to the Emperor, and on the oc-
casion of late review | am assured
that he rode at his Majesty's side. DR..
CottDan is about forty live years Of
age---bs is rich, speaks French fluent
ly, and is warm partizan Of Russia in
her present contest. His promotion
is no doubt due in part to the litter
circumstance. His family which COB
sists of daughter only, awaited his re-
turn in Paris,
