Change Of Base.-The barges that have
been laing at the wharf of Messrs. Nive-
ling & Co., from time to time, during the

A TRIP TO GILPIN'S FALLS.

[ A romantic correspondent sends us the
following graphic description of Gilpin's
Falls a spot of pic mic fame, in this county.
We had no idea they We're such d,c-ful falls
1t would seem they about rival Niagara or
Yosemite.-ED.
On the morning of the 9th of July in
company with number of ladies and gen.
tlcmen, l started for Gilpin's Fall, alias
The Rocks" The morning was quite
dull and gloomy but before reaching our
destination, the clouds dispersed and the
sun burst forth in all his midday splendor.
After a few hours drive through pleas
ant and highly improved country, we
landed on the romantic spot. After secur-
ing our horses and taking brief rest, we
spent the remainder of the day in contem-
plating and exploring Nature in her wild
est mood. On reaching the bank of the
Falls, the eye of the traveller is greeted by
scene that thrills him with terror. The
banks on either side are nearly perpendicu-
lar in their descent, and majestic cliffs,
jutting rocks, lofty and towering trees are
the gorgeous decorations of this theater
of wonders" To gain the bottom of the
Falls we had to descend the bank on the
eastern side, and in so doing we had to
follow a rugged and narrow path that
winds its way among trees and around
large rocks, which entirely conceal the
scene below.
On reaching the desired point, the mind
is filled with wonder and awe. The Falls
are in full view, from the first leap over
the fearful precipice until they reach the
quiet waters below. The first and greatest
fall clears about fifty feet, when the rocks
jut up in the bed of the stream, forming
arrest the angry water in it's mad career.
| The next fall clears about thirty feet,
whirling the wator headlong over huge
rocks, where it seems to completely lash
itself into foam. The last fall is about
twenty feet, over sheer precipice formed
in the bed of the stream: after rolling
down this at a rapid rate, it finds relief in
the lake below,-after having made total

Falls the noise is very great and appalling,
resembling loud thunder.
After contemplating this romantic dis
play of Nature in her grandeur and per-
lection, we agree with Morris that $50
indelibly have the visitations of Heaven
been stamped upon the face of the earth,
as witnesses for God and the Book of His
truth, that no authority of prosecutors
can silence the voice they utter; no efforts
of infidels can efface the record craven
upon their brows; no edict of kings OF
potentates can extinguish the sacred asso-
Citations with which their names will for
ever come up in the mind of man. While
the mountains stand or the rivers flow even
| inanimate nature will thus preach to the
ransomed church of God of His Law and
Of His Love to man." Y.

LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, July 1871

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, July 1911.
st. Paul and Minneapolis the two rival
cities of Minnesota, are but eight miles
apart-thc former being on the East and
the latter on the West banks OF the Missis-
sippi River. St. Paul is built rather irreg
ularly on bluff, which rises terrace after
terrace till it terminates in "Daytons Bluff
and "Summit Avenue, and good deal
of money and labor will be required to
reduce its location to comeliness, while
Minneapolis is regularly laid out on 4 level
prairie and has broad sandy streets that
need out little grading or improving. st.
Paul has three daily papers and popula
ton of 22,000 and Minneapolis has two
daily papers and a population of 1900.
In both cities there are quite number
of handsome, substantial buildings, the
most of them of blue magnetism limestone
that is very abundant in Minnesota, and
can hardly be told from the finest granite.
ST. Paul is at the head of navigation, the
distractions in the river preventing boats
from going farther, except at high water.
Some half dozen railroads pass through
or terminate in it. There is an immense
wholesale business which has rapidly
increased within the last few years, done
in the city, and it's people claim, that with
its location and rapidly increasing trade,
nothing can retard its healthy and speedy
growth. But Minneapolis has superior
natural advantages in its available water
power, which is unequaled on the continent
a careful estimate having placed it at
154, Geo horsepower. The current of the
river at that point is Is miles an hour, and
the total descent within mile is IS feet.
The entire volume of the Mississippi which
at Minneapolis has perpendicular fall of
IS feet can be made subservient to use. In
and around the city forty mills of various
kinds, grain, wood, paper, saw, oil, &c,
are supplied with power by the Minneapo-
lis Mill Company and the St. Anthony
Falls Water Power Company. Without,
however, pretending to decide which, or
whether either, of these rival cities is to
be the great metropolis of the North West;
or whether or not Jay Cooks wildcat city
of Duluth is to carry away the palm from
both, have no hesitation in writing down
St. Paul and Minneapolis as pleasant pros
porous places; and l think that both of
them, if they are not consolidated in a few
years, are destined to be cities of consider
able Importance and wealth.
Minnesota has healthful and bracing
climate, productive soil and an illimitable
water power, and is rapidly filling up with
energetic restless Yankees and industrious,
economical Norwegians Swedes and Bohe
mians who are making it great manufac-
turing, as well as vast wheat producing
State; and it is utterly impossible for any
Of the numerous towns and cities scattered
along her railroads and rivers, or located
upon her numberless lakes to retrograde
or remain stationary. Every year they
increase in population and wealth, and
with such resources as the State possesses
to induce immigration, can see nothing
to retard their growth or prosperity for at
least the next half century. WIPE.
