NIAGARA FALLS.
NIAGARA FALLS July %, 1875.
| The season at Niagara Falls is now ut It height,
and the hearts OF the hotel Keepers are made
glad at the sight OF many guests. In point OF
popularity the Cataract seems to take the lead,
but che Clifton and International hotels are also
doing'a fine business. Since last season the VII
lage has been much improved, and is now one OF
the prettiest summertng spots In the country.
HOW TO VISIT THE FALLS ECONOMICALLY.
Thousands of people visit this place every sea-
son. and thousands more would be glad to come
II they thought they could do so and not have 1t
cost too much. IL can be done economically and
| satlsfac orIly. as l have learned by ex-
! perIence and inquiry. The great majority
OF visitors come here and remain only
n day or TWO, ana in endeavoring to
.do" the place In twenty-four hours are often
done for. 1t is worth while to take time In see
ing Niagara. Tor in some respects 1t is like wat
kius' Glen, hard place to see thoroughly II one's
time Is limited. Instead OF going TO one OF the
high priced hotels the visitor can If he wishes TO
spend a few weeks here, secure board with some
nice private family, that viii guard his footsteps
as 1t were, from the snares OF the swindlers.
Thus situated the visitor can secure season
tickets to Goat Island, Prospect Park, the bridge
and other places at about the cost OF two single
admissions, giving him the privilege oil going or
coming as often as he pleases. AS every one
knows who has been here, there are many pleas
ant drives both sides OF the river, and good
carriages can be Obtained at the rate OF 81 per
hour and less If a bargain 10 made. In the alter
noon and during the evening music Is furnished
on the pIaZzas OF the hotels supplemented by
a hop every Saturday evening. The music
! and the moonlight are Tree to all. The
proper time to visit the place in
moon Is at or near It's iul. Last Sunday evening,
as the lu orDed moon arose seemingly out OF the
smooth waters Of the Niagara, far above tue
rapids, gliding the foaming, seething mass below
and turning the spray to silver, it presented
sight from the upper balcony or the cataract in
describably beauGlful ana grand.
There is NO place like Niagara lor

| '.for men may come and women go, but they go
on forever" Ii beats Saratoga, Long Branch ana
Newport ali combined in tnls respect, and the
reason Is evident. There are so many loving little
brides here every week who seem to take an
| pecial delight III "spooning' before folks and In
making their marriage known. The rush and
roar Of the rapids crowns the sound OF the
