REMOVING WATERFALL-Some workmen re-
Gently excavating for a mill-race on Hennepin
island, Just above the falls of St. Anthony, cut
der the bed of the river. During the late rise,
the river washed its way into the cave, and it is
now feared that the whole body of it may soon
follow, leaving the old bed dry, and finding an
outlet under the ledge which causes the falls
In that event, the business prospects of Minneap-
oils and St. Anthony, which depends on the wa
ter-power supplied by the falls, would be en-
tirely ruined

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

An exchange says Wendell Phillips
used the following language toward
President Grant in a recent oatbursr ::
A Jockey and seaside lounger; a restless
bow constantly needing to be amused, and
SO impatient of business that he cannot stay
at his pos more than a week at a time. To
your tents, o, Israel for a second Buchanan
sits in the WI ite House, temporizing while
the enemy gets in battle array.
Probably, ali thiDgs being considered,
Wendell Phillips is The most gifted man
in the United States. The classics of
the ancient and modern languages are
as familiar to him as are his toys to
child; and with his learning nature gave
him a noble presence, voice ike silver
bells, and that charm Of speech which
We call eioquence, but which we cannot
explain. Tuen in private life be is as
sporless MS IN the public world he is
great. And yet there is, after all
m-auness and jealousy in his nature
which all his greatness cannot conceal.
No great man has ever received hearty
praise from Wendell Phillips, at least
not nnril sancrified by death and his
fame made secure. Toward President
Lincoln his inv-ctives were frequent and
fierce He could not call him a Jockey
and seaside lounger," but be could and
did call him a ''trif1er aud jester.
Of the heroes of the war there was but
one obscure enough to permit OF his
praise That was Fremont.-Intdnd
