GREATER TH4S NIAGARA.

An Eastern gentlemen, having visited the
Great Falls on the Snake River-the southern
fork of the Oregon-writes home a description
of this marvellous natural curiosity, in which he
says:
"When we arrived at Rood Greek, one day
travel this side of Salmon Falls Ferry, we left
one morning for the Great Fails aud took a
straight line for Snake River. At distance Of
four miles we came upon them all unawares, as
the bluffs are over 5000 feet high ON each side,
consequently you could not hear them There
we commenced the descent to the falls on horse
back, to within few hundred yards of the aw-
full preeipice. Then fastening our horses, We
soon descended TO level with the river above
the falls. The sight that then broke upon the
view is too sublime to described by one so little
capable of doing it justice as myself We meas
ured the distance that the whole volume of wa
ter falls in one sheet, and found it go feet
Then above, l should Judge it to be about twen-
ty five to thirty feet fall before it reaches the
grand fall. The width of the fall should Judge
to be about 800 feet. I have visited Niagara
many times, but this fall eclipses it far. Four
miles further above we found another one ofless
note, where the water divides into two parts and
falls the distance Of 167 feet. Should you ever
again cross the plains, don't go by the falls
without visiting them, as 1t is well worth one
year of ones life Our measurement may be re-
lied upon as perfectly correct as we started

RICH STORY.

A late Parkefsburgh paper says that sew
eral members OF the West Virginia Leg
islature took the cars at Grafton late on
the evening of the 18th ult. for Wheeling, and
among the numbers was Mr. G., OF somewhat
large proportions physically, and Mr.. d. Of
proportional undersize- These two-the stall
wart Mr.. G., and the smoothfaced little Mr.. D.
took the berth together, it seems, in a sleeping
car The little man laid behind and the good
natured, waggish Mr.. G. before Mr.. ID. soon
was sleeping and snoring furiously. Mr.. G..
more restless under his Legislative burdens, soon
arose, and was sitting by the stove, when an el-
derby lady came aboard and desired s'sleeping
berth. "AH right, madam" said Mr.. g., i took
berth with my son, and you can occupy my
place in that berth where my little boy is sleep
ing. Taking G. at his word, the lady disroo-
ed, and laid down with the boy. After aqulee
repose of some time, the bog, Mr.. D., became
restless from some cause, and began TO kick
around to the annoyance Of the old lady. Sc
in maternal manner she patted the boy on the
back and said: "Lie still, sonny; pa said might
sleep with YOU" aWho are your said the Leg

We hardly need any other evidence than the
thick-cOming events of every day that the reb-
els not only are in most desperate straits but
that they know they are. The COnfederacy is
crumbling from the circumference to the center,
and its rulers are collecting together its force
at acentral point for one last effort of despair.
What their chance OF even temporary success is
we do not now mean TO consider, but the very
fact that they are gathering. their strength from
all quarters for one great blow shows that they
have no hope left should they fail in that. We
learn, moreover, from authority which we be-
lieye to be entirely trustworthy, that the rebel
Senator Foote stated repeatedly on his way from
Richmond that in the secret sessions OF hls iel-
low members for three months past the Rebel
cause was given up as virtually lost They
knew and acknowledged TO each other that
they were beaten and that none but desperate
measures were left for desperate men. The
events which we are welcoming every day by
salutes and the waving of banners justify his
assertion.-NeW York Tribune.

WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL.
GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION
READINe, Pa, April Is, 1864.

READING, Pa, April Is, 1864.
DR. WIsHART-Dear Sir: One year ago the
Examining Surgeon of this district told me 1
had Consumption of the Lungs, and that could
not be cured; and judging from all my symptoms
at that time, myself supposed this to be true.
l was for more than one year troubled with a
hacking cough, which gradually grew so bad
that l could not have severe fit of coughing
without splitting up blood in large quantities.
For months could not work at anything,
and was obliged to keep my bed most of the
time. While in this condition / was in Mr..
Rowbotham store, in this city, and he seeing
how low | was recommended me to try your
Pine Tree Tar Cordial. He said he had sold a
great deal of it. and that as it had cured so many
Others, he believed it would do some good
bought bottle and commenced using it. In a
very short time l saw that | was getting better
yery fast, and after taking several bottles l was
entirely restored to health, SO that l could work
every day at my business, which is very heavy
work, in an iron foundry. When commenced
to use your Pine Tree Tar Cordial, my weight
was only one hundred and thirty-five pounds;
since the use of it have weighed on an average
one hundred and fifty five. l shall be glad to
have you publish this, as l believe should not
have been living at this time if had not used
your great medicine, and l wish all who suffer
to receive its benefit.
Very truly yours,
Capt. SAMUEL HARNER.

ORR. CRRnIT ABROAD.

A private letter from Frankfort in Germany,
says: "There continues to be u great demand
for American securities in this market as well
as in Amsterdam. On Friday everything was
bought up which was offered. The Rothehilds
were very large buyers, whether for themselves
or upon orders we do not know The price is
three eper cent higher than N ew York quotations,
and that in Gold 1t must be comfortable for
Secretary Fessenden to know that Uncle Sam S
paper is worth three per cent. more here (or
about seven in paper), above the price at home,
and good demand at that. Ii seems pity
that Mr.. Fessenden could not sell some in this
market as well as in New Y York, but it seems the
law does not authorize it."

ANrIMONY VS.. PETROLEUM.

A company engaged recently in boring for
oil in Writ count, West Virginia, struck rich
vein of antimony, rare and expensive metal,
in great demand for type casting. The sum OF
$3.50 per ton was at once offered for all the dis
coverers could supply, aud at these rates their
profit will rival those of the silver mines OF
Washoe and the oil wells of Vsnango. COnsid-
erable excitement is created by the discovery,
and antimOny mines are likely to be as much a
source of speculation as the oil wells are at
nresent.-P Pits5,trq Chronicle

The flow of gold into Che Treasury through
the Custom-House evidently is not to be stop
ped by croaking, or damned by warfare on the
Government credit or the commerce of the
country. The amount Ofrevenue from customs
in January was $5,46O, $40 so. This is the
most unfavorable month in the year, for reasons
connected with the weather and the course of
trade. Yet, even at that rate of the influx of
gold, more than sufficient provision Is made for
the interest ON the gold-bearing bonds Of the
