Incidents Of Fravsl-A Trip to Niagara.

einnati, and a delightful trip it was. We
had party on board from Mammoth Cave.
Music and dancing BY the party added
much 70 our pleasures. Ny dissingue com
panion, Mr.. R. II. Jenkins-better known
among his many acquaIntsncss at Tsryan

never let slip en- idea or acostiveness of ian
guage to express them, is also here, and
"sports himself in distingue style" ind

Our route from Cincinnati to Columbus
and Cleveland was precipitats9 The heat
from the time We left Nashville till we ar
rived at Buffalo, was simply terrible--ii vas
hot-rather so-for all day long; and H-in-
uies were twice IS losg as in winter. We
rode in a sea ffrey sunbeams, and had the
malicious satisfaction o. having sbundsnt
company ia our misery. wss it hotg We
have not yet been down 70 the place
where 0rpheus sought his wife, but If those
days do not belle Us, that place was some
where near about US. Was it hot? Indeed
it was, and 50 hot that the moon. which
ought 10 have been up at six did n t come
until eight, and then looked terribly suR-
burnt. We remained but short time IN
Cleveland, but was much pleased with what
we saw of it. Trains entering or leaving
Cleveland have queer ways with them
passing around the lake, elbowing the bluff
to the right and to the LETT, dashiDg, dash
ing down ihe ravines like hound after
hare, plunging out Of sight Ike rabbit into
burrow, creeping meekiy along by tall
terraces Of vineyards on the hill sides; By
troops Of oabbages apparently going up the
earthen stairs TO bed; below houses Perebed
upon the bluffs; above the smutty noses Of
kitchen chimney's, bresthing fried bacon
and onions. You see little focks Of goats
upon the roof Of cabins and Htsle hocks of
children upon the peaks Of hills. As
heard a passenger say: II you ever visited c.
on q steamer it may do, but if yOu only saw
it through a car l0iHdo1O never tel any body
y.u ever saw Il. You might as we'll talk Of
Jupiter's moons after taking an obssr-
walton Of the belied planet through a
dinner horn. The man who dons his best
garments TO travel in--mounts the train as
clerical as black and brosdclota can make |
him, and leaves it With the look OF 3 miller.
The night scenes are amusing in the ex-
trsme As night wears or, the fellow who !
has all day beoa funny, Aickers out-be-
comes restless--nods -evsn Homer noddedat
times. Why not he2 rhs young girl, with
her everlasting giggle, like ripping water, |
inlermts, grows intsresting and falls asleep. !
Men make letter rs OF themselves, shut up
like poekst knives, roll op like porcSpines,
divirge ike ks. Trim and shaPeiy |
women tumble to pieces aud lie in little
heaps Of undistinguish. bic garments upon
the seats. Then comes snoring. You |
have bsrks, snorts, snufs, and groWling. |
OHs pants like an engine, or whines like 3
spaniel, or is forever blowing out candles
Every one Who has travelled much knows |
whereof the writer speaks. We tarrisd /
over night in Buffalo, besutiful aud thri-
wing city Of upwards Of a nsiderable pop |
uIaiion. Last night we had what il known |
here-pOttsd about ths grand Rotel-
"Hop this evening" TWAS the greltsss
display Of beauty, dignity, and ability,
ever looked upon. The visitors, and the To-
males Of the city, display great taste in
dressing. There sre q arge number Of Wis
i.ors. All the hotels are crowded The In
tOrnstionsI snd Cataract are the two princi-
pal houses, snd dessrvedly doing nsgnif-
icent business. Nashville is well represent |
ed here. Mr. James HsmiIt5n and family, |
W. 5. Cheatham, Esq aud Mr.. Anderson. |
We a 50 met at the Clifton House, Canada,
Mr.. James NJ. Bryan, looking just like he
hBd been linked to a lovely bride.
We saw Harry Leslie, the American
Biondin, walk acro,s The Eisgsra River
and perform remarkable feats gOndsrful 10 |
bshold-start from the American side and /
stop half way with his stove, take II of his
back, cook his meal, eat il, return the stove |
to his back and proceed 70 the Canadian
side, and again return 10 the american side.
To speak CT the Falls of Niagara, there is
too much sublimiiy, majesty and Oyerwhel
ming grandure for oite minds 10 co1npre-
bend OF explain. They appear like the
hand Of Deity stretched out for his creatures
to look at. "Lo these ars parts Of HE ways"
but the thunder Of bis power, who can un-
dsrstand%' I am surprised shAt have not
been here before. an stin more sur
priaeS that the intelligent man who is aba
to visit this 'worlds wonder can remain
content as home, % exc out telfish, naiser- /
able existence, tosattsfy craving ambition
to be called Flei. We leave for New York |
City, via. Albany, at 5.lO, P.E.
Farewell NiagaraI We leave you soon
but We hope not forever.
