| am but Dumb -


The Matterhorn has its magnificent 4rc-ea-
eiei, which almost equals the finest rainbow !;
England, on the South coast, AMI France, on her
North coast, are both proud Of their high beat
ting cliffs bel yecu which rolls the mighty cur
rent Of the channel.
On the Niagara similar and more imposing
cliffs are brought nearer together, forming the
boundaries of a turbulent river, upon which no
ore can lo,k without being reminded of the &c
count given by the ancient writer's Of the much
dreaded Styx.
We visited the place whers Webb lcapel int o
the food and were shown where he was last
seen. Report says there is another man in
Canada who is preparing for plunge into the
great maelstrom, but when he will attempt il
no one can tell.
The Three Sister Islands, located in the catu-
ract short distance above the falls, are all very
| nuciy ,oc.rru anu excellent views OF the sur
roundings may be obtained from either.
The Falls are illuminated by electricity, or
rather the electric light is thrown upon them
once n week, and we were fortunate to sec the
falls under different circumstances, viz: by
day, night, moonlight and electricity. Uowev-
err. we cannot always dwell upon the subject we
most like, or stay at places we mos. desire, 80
we hasten en- to Strategy, the place of life and
f,shio on th, continent.
Leaving Niagara early IN the morning we took
the n. Y. Central and Hudson River r. r., the
only quadruple track road in the country, which
carried us at great spcel-tnly an occasional
stop hcing madc-through the central portion of
the Empire State, via Rochester, Syracuse Uti-
ca. anl then the Conductor shouted in the car
door "Saratoga-passcnge going North change
cars and our destination was reached.
The country through which we passed is
known rs the greA apple orchard and bean gar
den Of the Yankee nation. Ones eyes at times
would almost become sore from looking Mt heans.
You could see beans all over tho fields, at nil
imagine that some Of the people you saw were
shaped like beans.
Since our arrival here have met several old
ac4uaintances, and l feel entirely at home
Some Of my friends l had not seen in years, and
OF course our meeting was unexpected and o
source of pleasure to us.
Saratoga is place where u visitor can by
himselfsee some very amusing incidents. There,
better than ut any other place. can one see the
great love that the Yankee has for the negro and
dog exhibited to best advantage. Almost any
lay you can see q beautiful young lady riding
with negro on one side and one Of those pug-
nosed English dogs on the other. The women
feed the abominable little creatures from their
own plate, let thom sleep the lounges and,
while passing through the corridor Of the hotel
the other day, I saw one lying between two snow
white pillows. To discuss dogs further would
take up too much time, SO 1 will stop by saying
that in this country whenever child dog is
los, they ring the fire bell so many times for
each one-I believe once more, perhaps, for ibe
dog. ted.

II must also be considered that in a
building like that OF this banking house,
1t Is not possible for a fresco artist to
elaborate any large and striking per-
spective designs, but he has to content
himself with hut little perspective, which
must be heightened by intensity of col

order to produce the most pleasing emo
