whnt our Artists are Doing.


A couple Of weeks ago was in Cleveland,
where l found Jones-our Jones-THE Jones,
who busted Gov. Chase as never man wasibus-
ted before in America. Jones was just pitching
into work upon the Perry Monument, as full Of
poetic fire as ever seethed under his knocked
up felt tile. Sitting with Jones at twilight in
the Angler House, in came Godfrey Franken-
stein, the Panorama painter, saying he was Just
off for new sketches of Niagara Falls when
catching dim glimpse of my hisute visage, he
seized and saluted me with great warmth, for
which he was immensely laughed at by Jones
because he had mistaken horse editor for a
certain New York Artist, and so we parted.
Last week after taking a hasty aunt in
Canada West, came down TO the Clifton House
at Niagara, and going along the shingle beach
from Table Rock to the ferry, there was God.
frey, as busy as bee in pumpkin blossom,
sketching the juttng rocks and vines that hang
out just below the Clifton House. l then
jumped into one Of the skiffs that dance across
the waters to the foot of the American Fall.
thence ran over to Goat Island, Down Biddle 3
Staircase and so along to the Cave ofthe Winds,
for which place always reserved my most de-
vout enthusiasm The fall which comes down
here is unlike any other part of Niagara-the
waters make sheer leap in solid column, and
o. with what terrible rush do they tramp
their sandals upon the great threshold rock be
below, which is worn like the pavement of an
ancient city over which iron heels have passed
for centuries. Here as the wafer bites the
rock it pushes on ward in a peculiar way, and
the spray that rolls outward is like no other,
and the spray that rolls inward against the ca
vern walls is like the van of a tempest mutiph-
ed by the thousand.
Right in the face Of all this magnifeence,
stood John Frank enstein, in shirt and panta.
looms, With no eye or ear or through for any
thing else in The world, as with busy crayon
and glancing eye be caught the flashing glovies
Of torrent and rock, and spray, and the beauti
/ full iris bow, which seemed TO hover under the
mighty sheet like the Angel Ofthe Cave. And
then as the artist rested iron his work and came
/ forward to greet me, there was a supernatural
I light in his eye "O" said he, Il neyer ap
preciated this spot so much befote-when
came here TO day 10 make this sketch, / fell
more like praying than / ever did before in all
my lifel"-and his breath came and went like
that ofone who hasno words for the great emo
ton Of his soul SO when we had gone for
ward for kiss Of this giant grsndeur tumes
and LETT the artist TO resume his work, ofwhich
doubt not, the world wiz sec more, one O
these days.

EDITOR LEADzR:-Knowng that some of
your many readers would be pleased to hear
from this center of political intrigue, thought
would jot down some of tho tidal indications,
as manifest here now for their benefit.
arrived here six days ago, found everything
quiet, but it was noticed that there began to be
many arrivals, for the season of the year
Three days after the lCould be little giant S.
A Douglas made his appearance this account
ed in part for the inflow. The next day o.
j. Wise with a friend made their appearance
Ii was reported that said Wise and his friend
Olds by name, had been up to bloody Badins
burg 10 settle a little difficulty. This cannot
be so, or there is some mistake somewhere, for
l. is reported that they exchanged two shots,
but neither were hurt But this story is not
believed by many here, for there are few per-
sons can believe that two OF Virginia's chivil-
rous sons with, such sensitive honor and uns
doubted courage, as belongs to the race would
exchange two shots and both be so scared as
not to hit their mark either time Il can only
be accounted for by supposing the report a
| 'ruse" TO cover q meeting Of the Wise and
I Douglass factions
II has been apparant for some time that Wise
stock was about To fall very low, and many OF
the southern political divines are writing irea-
tses against Douglas taking for their text his
course on the Lecompton" question. Mis-
sissipp is particularly hard on him. Il is
therefore supposed that Douglas is anxious TO
secure Virginia TO himself, and as Wise 8
friends cynslJer his chances few and growing
beautifully less" it is thought to secure the
| Wise influence for Douglas. Extremes some
times meet"

falling back on first principles, viz; The Con.
