TIE GREATEST MAN AT NIAGARA.-On-
Sunday, we are told a curious Indication of
the state of feeling at Niagara Falls was mani
tested in the proceedings of a Sabbath School
there. A gentleman from Cattaraugus eouu-.

the duties of reverence for God ard obedience
to the Supreme will In the course of his re-
marks he desired to draw contrast between
God and the children's highest ideal of great
ness on earth, and for that purpose he asked
OF the little ones before him who was the
greatest man at Niagara Falls-the man most
entitled TO their respect when, to his aston
ishment and chagrin, dozen youthful
voices responded, enthusiastically and in en-
tire concord, "Blondin r' ssBlonaiin r, uBlon-

FASHION IN EAST INDIA-The upper class
of East Indian ladies are making violent re-
sistance to the Introduction Of English gowns
among the lower classes Of female coolies, as
the gown enables the poor woman to cover the
breast, and that Is a privilege hitherto belong
ing to women Of rank only. This has occa-
stoned so fierce jealousy Of classes that the
government has been obliged to interfere,
which IL has done by passing a law permitting
all women TO dress as they please.

they come to a canal or creek breaking of.
they 60 right ahead, wading or swimming, as
the case may be, and then trot on again in the

they have little need to complain of wet cloths,
