A Great Waterfall.

n detachment OF troops recently scout
ing in the valley of the Snake Oh Lewis
Fork of the Columbia, discovered wafer
fall which is doubtless justly entitled to
tie distinction of being called the greatest
iii the world. The entire volume of
Snake river pours over sheer precipice
one hundred and nine-eight feet high
thirty-eight feet higher than Niagara
Snake river is full as large as the niagara !;
and the cascade is in one solid sheet, or
body. The locality of this immense
waterfall is near the point heretofore
desi enatcd as the Great Shoshone or Sal
mon Falls IF that river, but they have
always been enveloped in mystery. About
a zen years ago the writer passed along
the Snake river road For two days we
heard the roaring of these falls, but
learned no more respecting them than it
they had been in the moon. 1t was said
that there were series of falls and rapids,
making descent of seven hundred feet
IN seven miles, and the sound gave color
to the report. For hundreds of miles
across that great plain, Snake river flows
through canon, with vertical walls hun
dreds Of feet high. 1t is only at long
intervals that salient points are found by
which the river can be reached. The
road crosses from point to point of the
bends, only approaching close to the river
where there is chance to descend for
water. From these facts very few, if
any, of the tens Of thousands of advcn-
tnrcrs who have crossed the plains ever
looked upon the Great Falls. The late
discoverers report, besides the main catar-
act. many others of less height, varying
from twenty to fifty feet each, near by.
Some day they will be visited by the
tourist and pleasure-secker, and looked
upon as frequently and fnn,iliarly as Ma
Gala is to-day; and it will be admitted
that. with the strpendous grandeur Of
their surroundings, they are as far be-
yond Niagara as Niagara now cxcels the
balance of the world.

Emancipation In Russia and
America.


The world now, in both hemispheres,
is witnessing most extraordinary feature
in the loosening of the bonds of the bond
men, both white and black. While the
war, with its necessary exigencies, in the
United States is giving freedom to the
slaves by the power of the Emancipation
Proclamation and the silent but irreslsti-
BILE force of public sentiment, both North
and South. the serfs of Russia ure also
gaining their freedom from the thraldom
Of landed aristocracy. The battle of
freedom in Russia is purely moral one,
and to the noble firmness Of the Emperor
and the enlightened policy of the Russian
Liberals the world is indebted for this
noble exhibition of the extension Of free
dom in the act of serf emancipation.
Twenty three millions of an active peas
antry have been raised from fcudal bond
age to the position of freemen by the
power of serf emancipation during the
last two years. Those opposed to this
liberal progress prophes'ed that anarchy
and bloodshed must follow the great social
change. but the revolution has been a
peaccable and bloodlcss one throughout,
and the bitterest opponent Of the measure
now admit, its justice, as well as the fact
that, as it had to come at some time, it
was well to do it at once. This is, with
out doubt, one of the most important
measures for the amelioration of the human
race now in progress in the world. Its
effect upon the Russian nation can only
be imag agiued. but that ere long it will
place her in the front rank of the nations
of the earth there can be no doubt.
With freedom to the serf comes cduca-
ton, and social and political reforms will
follow which will elevate them to the same
position occupied by the American free
men and the people of the most enlightened
nations of Europe. 1t is said that already
within two years, more than eight thou
sand new schools have sprung into exis-
tcncc through individual exertions among
the pcasantry, and that they are rapidly
on the increase, while before emancipation
there was scarcely day-schOol among
that class. With freedom and education
comes industry and love Of country and
the expansion of all the noblest traits of
the human character, and the emancipa-
ted serf. like new race, will advance
with gigantic strides towards the goal Of
the highest order of civilization. Like our
own new country in the west, Russia will
soon become the giant of the eastern hem
isphcre. Freedom, education and labor
will do the work in Russia as surely as it
is doing it in this country, and the social
elevation of the serf will create new wants
which will increase all the industrial pur.
suits, and make the internal progress OF
that country approximate towards what is
witnessed in our own. One million Of
peasants. it is said. have bought up the
land on which they were located, and this
influence will doubtless spread until the
great majority of them shall become them
selves landed proprietors.
