arrived here yesterday morning in the
ra'h-found winter clothes supplement-
ed with an overcoat comfortable.
We were kept in doors all day y~ester,
terday by the rain. which prevented us
from going over to Brooklyn and hear
ing Beecher preach and interviewing
him on the question of woman's rights.
1t occurred to us that his great and di-
versifed learning and experiences might
enable us to Gull something from an in
terview that would be both instructive
and interesting. What we would have
learned must remain in the hidd II and
unexplored field of conjecture with the
thousand other flowers that bloom and
blossom there.
We stopped one day at Niagara Falls
and saw the wonders OF that celebrated
place OF resort. l could not but ex>
claim on seeing the Falls in the poetic
language of the F~renchman. "They
come down fust rate, by Gar" We
remained at this place II day, and
found every facility imaginable for re-
lieving ourselves of surplus cash. There
was the hackman, skilled in the tricks
of his trade; the boot-black, INCREASING
in his demands to give you a shine,
Last, but not leant, was the female shop
keepers, with every variety of toy ant
trlnket, from a ~pin>cushion to All III,
dian warrior, with all the destinations o
her sex, Turing you to purchase. 1 en-
countered one that was hard to shake
off. [ could appreciate how Morl
Twain felt when he was encountered by
the woman who had the soap. I fel
too like telling her that [ was a poor
unprotected male, travelling alone, ;
stranger in a strange land, but would
defend my honor at all hazards. She
first insisted that l should buy somthins
for my wife, but when I told her that
was a poor, lone man, with no protector
and no one to provide for me, she sug
gested that I should buy something TO
my sweetheart. 1 replied that [ ha,
never found one to snit me until cam
to Niagara-in-fact until Icame in tina
store, and she was the gal, and Their
was no use buying them for her for sh
had a big store full already. She thel
implored me in the name of suffer
ing humanity, "of whom she wa
which," to buy a set of studs for N.
shirt. At this startling proposition m.
breast heaved with Indignation, for
bearance ceased to be a virtue, and
said boldly: woman, them thing
wasn't made for the shirt, but the shin
for them" and one shirt at a time We
enough for any stud, and it was non
!, sense to be talking to me about havin
!, a set of studs for one shirt; told her sh
r had better keep them, she might hav
use for them herself. At this point
began to beat a hasty retreat. bu
thought of my friend T.. who had en-
, tered the castle with me, and thought
would be cowardly to desert him, a
thought it was hazardous to remain
So I began to search for him, and foun
him at bay, surrounded by painted nor
keys, Indian warriors, from Sitting Blu
down to Spotted Tail, eagles, vultures
stuffed birds and other stuff. In con
mand of this formidable array was AT
other woman. / SAW from my friend
r care-worn look that he had been fearful
ly beset, but had kept up the struggl
manfully against fearful odds. He wi
try Godbold's we'll water on his retur
: home, and with it's aid hopes to regal
his usual rigor and strength. We wer
not strong enough to carry the work
! by storm, so proposed a compromise b
! each buying a pin>cushion; this was az
+ cepted and we were released. We 81
lected one each with a thrilling romano
connected with it, too long to rarrai
? here. They were the only ones of not
and celebrity there; I know this b.
| cause the woman who sold them said 81
We left that place satisfied more tia
/ ever that the necessities of the countr
:: demanded the election of ''Tilden an
, Reform" That's the ticket. Whetht
f "Reform" is a soft or hard money ma
seems of little consequence here, e,
g erybody's for him, even Peter Coope
By the way, there is one very rcmarI
able feature about this President,
S campaign: While I'ilden and Hayt
e poles and flags may be seen in almo:
: every town on the Railroads, PETE
} Coeper's are all in the interior. Tru
, l did not go into the interior, but the
| are not on the Railroads, and therefor
] must be there, 1 give this as a morse
of encouragement to the respectabl
and enthusiastic minority who are goin
, for Cooper and Greenbacks in Brook
haven. The rural districts, where a
those poles are supposed to be, may y'
swell to the proportions of a "tid'
wave" and sweep the country.
Louis Lewenthall, Henry TIARA dn
Martin Nalty are here. The two latte
L have not seen, but.how I come t
think Of them in connection with Pete
; Cooper I am at a loss to know. If
had mentioned my friend Charley i
that connection it would be perfect
natural. 1 commenced on Beecher an
will here end on Peter Cooper.
Will write you from the Centennial
unless you telegraph this is enough.
