NIAGARA EcLIPsED.-An astonish-
ed tourist writes to the Frontier Inder
from the curious district surrounding
the Yellowstone Lake of Montana:
''Near the outskirts of this mon
strous 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 leading
opposite Wind and Green river and the
other opposite Henry's Fork of Snake
River, in the same vicinity that the
Madison and Gallatin 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 thousands of feet,
the spray rising several hundred. A
pebble was timed by watch in drop
ping from an overhanging crag of one
perpendicular fall, and is said to have
required eleven and half seconds to
strike the surface of the river below.
That beats Niagara falls call hollow"
The river at these greatest falls is repre-
sentcd to be half as large as the Mis-.
souri, at Omaha, 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.

TRIAL OF MEMoRY.-A fellow was
once on certain occasion, boasting in
Foote'S presence of the extraordinary
facility with which he could commit
anything to memory, when Foote said he
would write down a dozen lines of prose
which he would not be able to repeat
from memory in as many minutes. A
wager was instantly laid, and Foote
wrote thesfollowing 1850 she went into
the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to
make an apple pie; and a great she bear
coming up the street, pops its head
into the shop. What! no soap? So he
died, and she very imprudently married
the barber. And there were present
the Piccaninnies, and the Jobalillies,
and the Garulillies, and the grand
Panjandrum, with the little round but
ton at the top, ard they fell to playing
catch as catch can, till the gunpowder
ran out of the heels of their boots"
Such mass of nonsense was too much
for the boaster's memory, and the wit
won his wager.

A CoRCEcT SENTIMENTAL man
and wife were sitting at breakfast the
other day, the husband trying to read
the paper while the wife was lecturing
him on his dissipated hours. He sud-

said -"Here's perfectly correct
sentiment. A writer in this paper
says, the best capital, to begin life with
is capital wife!' "That's very true,

her remark would elicit compliment,
