NIAGARA FALLS, June 30, 1870.
That Niagara Falls Is the pre-
eminent wonder Of the world, there
is no question. The opening of
the Pacific Railroad has brought
to light many scenes of marvellous
magnifcence, and some say that
cataracts are found, almost, il not

with descriptions Of its vastness,
that 1t becomes a general desire
with humanity to see Niagara
once at least during a lifetime
