Niagara Eclipsod.

An astonished tourist writes to the
FOREIGN Inder from the curious district
surrounding the Yellowstone Lake of
Montana:
Near the outskirts Of this monstrous
locality, there is lake on top Of the
mountain that is yet frozen over, the ice
and snow covering its surface some
twenty feet deep. Two main forks of the
Yellowstone, one heading opposite Wind
and Green rivers, and the other opposite
Henry's Fork of Snake river, in the
same vicinity that the Madison and Gal.
latin rise, empty into the big lake, which
has for its outlet the Yellowstone river,
and Just below the lake the whole river
falls over the face of mountain thou
sands of feet, the spray rising
several hundred. A pebble was
timed by watch in dropping from an
overhanging crag of one perpendicular
fall, and it is said to have required
eleven and half seconds to strike the
surface of the river below. That beats
Niagara Falls all hollow" The river
at these greatest falls is represented to
be half as large as the Missouri at Oma-
ha, and as clear as crystal. The great
lake, like all others in these mountains,
is thick with salmon trout Of from five
to forty pounds weight, and where the
milky, boiling mineral waters from the
geysers intermingle with the pure clear
water from the running streams, these
elegant fish can be "forked up by the
boat load.

From the New York World.
"a woman speaking" remarked DR..
johnson, dis like dog dancing; it is not
done well, but we are surprised TO see it
done at ALL" The iudicious mind sees no
reason in Miss Dickinson's performance to
induce a modification of this remark. The
patriotic Pythoness appeared last night for
the first time in New York, we believe, in
the popular comedy, written especially for
herself of Breakers Ahead" 1t must be
owned that Miss Dickinson is voluble, and
glibness goes a great way on the rostrum,
particularly with such an inarticulate look
ing audience as nearly filled the Cooper
Institute TO hear her. The lecture goer

loyal lecture IL distinct sub division.
The male has a shiny forehead, wide
smile, plauditory umbrella, and a general
air Of lank loyalty. The female reioices
in a voluminous red shawl, frosty nose,
and an aspect of repulsive intellectually,
and manifests delight by stage whispers to
her neighbors, and smile which is like
the cracking of an iceberg. With these is
mingled, when Miss Dickinson attracts,
of much smoked ham, who assume pensive-
ness while tie wrongs Of their race are re-
counted
OF the lecturess, as everybody knows her
appearance, it is only necessary to say that
her hair has not grown of late, that she
appears in tight black silk dress, with
white rufles at the wrists, and a large lace
bow at the throat, and that her voice has
not lost the least in strident strength nor
gained in fexibility. For an hour and
half it sounds as monotonous, az steadily
in one key, as the intonations at 81. Adams,
whatever variation the theme may seem to
require. Mics Dickinson has not, indeed
the slightest dramatic talent, and when she
travels beyond mere monologue into at
tempts at mimicry, her failure is conspicu
Gus. But distinct defamation she does
very tolerably we'll As 10 the matter Of her
discourse, it is not much matter what she
says But there is a certain uddity in her
aggregations Of adjectives which we were
sure, when we had listened to her for five
minutes, was a Renaissance of something
we had heard before. All at once it flashed
on us that Miss Dickinson came from Phil
adelphia, and had imbibed her political
instruction from the fount of Forney. Then
it was clear Here was the same lurid
coloring Of Copperheads, the same eloquent
flummery about the flag, the same riotous
recklessness Of vituperation, the same
sleek ignorance about everything, bolstered
by the same copious citations from news
papers, to which the sage of his two papers,
both daily, has accustomed us. From
Forney comes the sacred FIRE that afti1tes

THE CHARACTER OF THE NORTH
CAROLINA CONVENTION.

From the Raleigh Sentinel, December Z.
One or two examples will suffice TO illus.
trate what we have said as to the chsrac-
ter Of the coming convention. Craven was
represented, in the convention of 1885, by
William CASTOR and Richard Dobbs
Speight It's mis-represented, in 1867, by
one negro, and two men who have hardly
acquired a domicie in the State, and whose
only prominence, so far as we know, con-
sists in the fact that they haze feathered
their nests pretty well as Federal officers.
A negro, in 1867, comes from the county
which sent Nathaniel Macon to the con-
vention of 1885. Guilford, which honored
itself by sending Jno. NJ. Morehead to that
body, is now disgraced in the person of one
Tourgee, who, not being appreciated in
Ohio, has squatted in this State. Halifax,
which sent John Branch, is represented by
two negroes and Berthe which elected
David Outlaw, also sends two negroes, both
Of whom are described as unusually litter
ate, and one Of whom is said TO be as vi
cious as he is ignorant.
