"A DAY AT NIAGARA.
tencernin z the Falls,

| NIAGARA Falls is o,oo tha ~
in the known world have haoS' s'rtet,lres ;l,.i
this favorite watering place recently, for the
| first time, and was well pleased. A gentle
man who was with me said it was customary
to be disappointed in the Falls, but that sub
sequent visits were sure to set that all right.
He said that it was so with him. He said
that the first time he went the hack fares
were so much higher than the Falls that the
Falls appeared insignificant. But that is all
regulated now. The hackmen have been
tanned, and numbered, and placarded, black
guarded. and brought into subiection to the
law, and dosed with Moral Principle till thev
are as meek as missionaries. They are divi-
ded into two clans. now, the Regulars and the
privateers, and they employ their idle time in
warning the public against each other The
Regulars are under the hotel banners. and do
the legitimate at two dollars an hour, and the
privateers prowl darlly on neutral ground
and pick off stragglers at half price. But there
are no more outrages and extortions. That
sort of thing cured itself. 1t made the Falls
unpopular by getting into the newspapers.
and whenever a public evil achieves that sort
of success for itself. its days are numbered.
1t became apparent that either the Falls had
to be discontinued or the hackman had to
subside They could not dam the Falls, and
so they damned the hackman. One can be
comfortable and happy there now.
