noted hotel, the beauty and grandeur Of the
picture spread out before you Ia indescribsble.
Right In front, and within hundred feet, lie
the deep gorge through which, at this short
distance below the Falls, slowly eddles (appar-
ently) the greenlsh-blue waters Of Lake Erie,
after having poured over the awful preciplee
above; and directly across, to the right, is the
"Americsu Falls;" further 10 the right, Goat
Island; then. still further around, the Horse.

wonderful panorama before the gazing, eager
eye. This is q faint pen. portrait OF the rithout.
Turning riilin, we have dark and damns-

both south and north or Mason's and Dixon's
line, give personal presence at the bar, and
character TO the tobacco-spitting and smoking,
as well as gormandiEng, apartments. And
these men, who q few short months ago
boasted Of their birth-right, their banner and
their nationality, now, as cowardly self-exilee,
plot vile treason against race and law, ances
