A Story Of Niagara.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes from Niagara Falls: "A
gentleman, accompanied by his wife
and two daughters, rushed frantically
up to the Office of the international
yesterday morning, and, holding on to
his carpct-bag with grip of iron, blurt-
ed out: i have just arrived; | want to
see the falls before evening; what is the
best way to do it?p
Mr.. Fulton, the proprietor of the ho-
tel, who stood by, informed the excited
and perspiring gentleman that it would
be impossible to see everything Of in
terest in one day, and that if he at
tempted to do so he would only sue
coed i'll spending II great deal Of money
and seeing very little. The visitor was
not to be persuaded He evidently re-
garded the friendly and well-meaning
Mr.. Fulton as one of the Niagara swind-
lcrs Of whom he had heard 80 much
and, after eating hearty breakfast, he
hurried with his wife and daughters-
all Of them hot, dusty, unwashcd, and
uncomfortabIe-out mo the street.
Here he was taken in nand by one of
the ever-vigilant hack-drivers, "a man
who was not attached 10 the hotel, and
after a long argument, which was car
ried on in a very loud tone, he agreed
to pay - for the use Of the carriage for
the day, and being assured by the driv
or that before night he would show him
everything that was worth seeing, he
drove off, evidently well satisfied, and
doubtless congratulating himself upon
his smartne-s in outwitting lone Of
those thieving hotel men"
In the evening the gentleman re-
turned. One of his daughters, a deli
cate little thing, was SO sick from ner-
vous excitement that she could hardly
get out of the carriage, and his wife, a.
he explained to the hotel clerk, was too
weak to leave the house that night.
Such being the case, he was obliged,
evidently much against his WILL to en-
gage rooms for himself and party.
During the evening he met Mr.. Fulton
and myself, and apologizing for what
he called his rudeness in the morning,
(he was an honest old farmer from
western state), he confessed that he had
been wrong in attempting to see ev-
erything" i'll one day. Then, becom-
ing more communicative, he took a
memorandun-book from his pocket

Running a Race with the President.

A Washington telegram to the Boston
Herald says The President, accom-
panied by his sons Burchard and Ruth
erford, left the White House Saturday
morning, and was gone portion Of the
day. As he was leaving the White
House grounds 5-foot, but corpulent
office-seeker espied him and started
after him, but the Presidents long
strides were more than he bargained
for but he tried hard to overtake him,
and made his little fat legs do their
duty, while his arms, nearly at right
angles with his body, on account Of it,
size latitudinally, kept time with his
legs like pendulums. Down q street
he gained on the object of his chase !;
but just as he thought his efforts about
to be crowned with success, and his
long-desired interview realized, the
President stepped into an + street
car. The seven-cent fare had no ter
rors for the enthusiastic otficer-hunter,
who stepped in after him He doubt
less gained the Presidents ear, but It is
not SO certain that he got his seven
cents worth on the assurance Of pay
ing place

Kindness TO Animals,

Ii pays to treat domestic animals
kindly. There is no animal SO stupid
as not to know the difference between
kind and unkind treatment, and none
50 vicious or ungrateful MS not to re-
spond in kind to the hand that pets and
carcsses it, The vicious horse has al
most always been timid colt, and re-
CURED only kind and gentle treatment
to drive away fear and establish conf
dencc, to render him docile
1t il the nature of all animals to re-
sent Entertainment, even from one of their
own species, and to fight when imposed
upon THUS the horse will return a
kick or bite, while the horned animal
will do battle with the arms with which
nature has furnished it. tM8E
A timid and spirited colt il very natu-
rally and rapidly changed into IL vicious
and unmanagcable horse by rough and
unkind handling and the timid heifcr,
by the same treatment, becomes an
ugly, hooking and kicking COW. Do
nestle animals recognize kind words rs
well a. kind acts, and cross word ut II
critical moment will bring fight and de-
termined opposition, where kind word
would have Gained fear and subducd
anger. In handling domestic animals,
that man is the most successful who
governs his own passions. With do
nestle animals Kindness bcgets kind
ness, and passion bcgets passion.

A Mountain CrulNbIing.

Near Bourg St Maurice, in Savoy,
there is mountain called the Bee
Rouge" 1t is connected with the out
lying Little st. Bernard and is 1900
feet above the sea level, but only about
half that height above the adjacent val
ley, which is called the Masure of the
Miroir, from the name of two little vii
lagos in it. This mountain is tumbling
to pieces. For several weeks the blocks
ofsolid stone of which it is built up have
been crumbling away, and the whole
side OF the mountain appears to be
pouring itself down into the plain The
scene is described by IL member Of the
French Alpine club as magnificent
The powders which detach themselves
are often of immense size, and they
leap down a steep slope at an extremely
rapid pace, crushing literally to match
wood the trees and saplngs which they
encounter The noise made by the de-
sccnding masses resembles distant peals
of thunder.

CHARACTER.-Among the happiest
and proudcst possessions of n man is his
character 1t usually procures him the
honors and rarely the jealousics Of fame.
Like most treasures that are attained
less by circumstances than ourselves,
character Is a more felicitous reputation
than glory. The wise man, therefore,
despises not the opinion of the world
he estimates it ut It's full value--hc does
not rush from vanity, alone, against the
received sentiments of others; he does
not hazard his costly jewel with UNI
worthy combatants, and for petty
stake. He respects the legislation Of de
corum. What is the essence and the
life Of character Principle, integrity,
independence! or, as one of the great
old writers hath it that inbred loyalty
unto virtue, which can serve her without
a livery" These are qualities that hang
not upon any mans breath. They
must be formed within ourselves ndis-
soluble and indestructiblc ~ the SOUL
If, conscious Of these possessions, we
trust TRANQUILITY to time and occasion to
render them known, we may rest
assured that our character,
sooner or later will establish its
elf We cannot more surely defeat
our own object than by restless
and fevered anxiety as to what the world
will say Of us There is a moral hon
esty in due regard for character which
will not shape itself to the humors Of
the crowd. And this, if honest, is no
less wise. For the crowd never long
esteems those who hatter it at their own
expense. He who has the supplcness
Of the demagogue will like to complain
of the ficSleness Of the mob.

Saratoga

Last evening l strolled into the

where, by the by, you can get a
better dinuer than at any other
place in Saratoga, not even except
ing those charming little dinners
at Moons Lake house, which con-
Sist chiefly of fried potatoes, fish,
and young turkeys cut down at an
extremely tender age and made to
do sci vice as chicken cartridges. |
found at MorrisSey's II goodly COM
pany of sports in full evening dress
white hats, cooked on one side,
yellow and other colored vests,
blue, green and rose colored scarfs;
in a word, an array of gorgeous aud
impossible colors. The whole dele
CATION, from the aristocratic center
of American culture, were standing
around waiting for something to
"turn up" and when it did turn
up it was not always satisfactory.
Among those thus standing, intent
ly engaged in watching the tables,
were statesmen, merchants, ban
kers, brokers, and men of fortune,
well known in New York, Boston
and Philadelphia, representing in
the aggregate millions of dollars. I
saw punting away grayely at rou-
lette a gentleman who, last sum-
mer, is said to have lost in one set
ting at Newport $780, 900. Jimmy
Watson's Newport successors mako
it very pleasant and lively for those
Young bloods who are fond of fight
ing the tiger in good company.
There was no heavy play ut Nor
rissey S on Saturday night. Some
Western men are expected next
week, who bet very heavily here last
season, and likewise during the past
winter in New York. Possibly
things at the clubhouse may move
more briskly when they arrive.

A Battle Picture on Ihe Russian
march Through bulgaria.

m8rch
Cor. London News.l
Yesterday afternoon we reached
a village half way between Sistova
and Sarivar, and slept there. All
the afternoon End all the night the
full stream Of invasion rolled on
steadily by us without a break. Be-
tween sunset and SUM Use the Don
Cossacks passed. M~ohammedans
invading a Mohammedau leud rode
on the flank Of the Jerek squadrons,
whose ranks are filed with old be-
levers, and over whom floats a ban
ner emblazoned with a primatiye
cross.
The infantry brigade Of the Thir-
ty-ffth Division halted in the mar
row valley road, and formed line to
allow the black-robed Oircassians to
60 by, and the foot soldiers awaken
ed the echoes of the Bulgarian hills
with their cheering as the cross.
blazoned banners were borne on
ward, Haunting their brilliant folds
over the mountaineers of Kuban,
trotting forward on their wiry
ponies.
Up the side of the valley the IL
railleur Brigade strobe forward
with an active swinging step, the
deadly Berdan on their shoulders.
There is more cheering amidst the
halted masses, crashing abruptly
through the stiffness of the night,
and from the shadow of the glen
energies into a flood of moonlight
the head of the column Of the Bull
garian legion. Its men are lighter
of frame and more lissOm of gait
than the massive Russian soldiery,
and their step has in it something
of a nervous eagerness-the step of
men whose hearts are thrilling with
the hope of breaking their chains,
with the glad prospect at length
nigh at hand Of vengeance on. the
race which for four centuries has
crushed the Bulgarians under the
heel Of oppression. On the front
of their fur caps the silver cross
CLEANS in the white moonlight, but
it is the cross Of the crusader, not
the cross which is the emblem Of
meekuess and mercy.
The day daN ms, the sun scorches
up the heavy night dew. The val
ley is filled with dust, the tramp Of
of a thousand men and the ron of
thousand wheels, but the force on
the Roumanian side of the bridge
is inexhaustible.
