amid oaks and poplars at the feet
OF the easy accivties, blessed with mex

immigration and industry OF upright men,

help and bless.
Regretfully we turn away from this
halcyon dale, haunted by the memory OF
the Indian maid and her lover, and perad-
venture haunted more by the spirits OF
those noble chiefs whom Christian white
men dispOssessed, and re-entering Glarks-
vile, we resume the iron road to
TALLULAH FALLS.
As we approach the terminus we are
confronted with bold rocks, which sug-
gest the proximity Of ravines. The last
mile OF the railway cost $4,000. being cut
through high masses of the hardest min
eral. But not until we have left the train
aud descended with careful step the steep
declivties of the deep chasm have we the
least conception Of the profound sublimity
OF TINS wonderful scene. "Tallulah," or
the Terrible, has here become a rapid
river. Rushing with unbridled impetu-
oslty over the polished rocks, angered at
every resistance, it dashes over
the hrst cataract as in a fit of
frenzy. Striking against huge boulders be-
low, toaming in and out of sullen recesses,
II increases in violence, and throws itself
madly over the g. cOnd precipice with
tempestuous force. Broken with the fall.
and boiling with terrific rage, it rises, and
rallying all its might for one desperate
charge, it leaps with hurricane speed over
third Drecipice into an abyssmal chasm,
where II rOars as in an agony of defeat.
Spent and subdued, the reckless cataract
reapses into the calmeT cascade, and rolls
away TO the smooth ledge Of submerged
granite over which it quickly glides
with the snowy beauty Of q bridal
veil, or like the wavy tresses of the
Ancient of Days, whose hair was
white like wool, and whose voice was as
the sound of many waters. We scramble
with exhausted muscles up the rugged
side Of the wild gorge, and steadying our
nerves stand for a moment on what is
miscalled the DEVILS Pulpit. A grander
spectacle was never witnessed under the
setting sun. The four falls of the wind

shining in the soft light like streams and
walls Of FURNISHED silver. Around these
central objects is an amphitheatre of vast
dimensions, covered with trees, which,

EXPOSING A FRAUD.
Capturing = sPi-itualist Medium in His
Underclothes by skeptical Young Men.

Capturing = SPiritualist Medium in HIS
Underclothes by skeptical Young Men.
STRAWBERRY POINT, IA, Dec. &C.
K. Wyman, a spiritualist medium, has
been holding seances at the house Of W.
B. Field for couple OF weeks, the attend
ance being large each evening. The me-
dunn collected 81 from each person pres
ent. A number OF persons have been
worked up TO high pitch, several being
on the verge of insanity over the adroit
manner in which Wyman brought up the
sO-called spirits OF their departed friends.
Several skeptical young men attended the
meeting on SATURDAY. night with the de-
termination OF exposing what they con-
sidered a palpable fraud. Accordingly
one OF them managed to secure seat
near the cabinet from which the spirits
appeared. The clothing of the medium
was sewed securely to chair in the cabi
net the circle formed and the lights
turned down. Soon the spirit Of the father
Of one Of the company appeared and
reached out TO shake hands with his son,
whereupOn the young man near the cabl-
net grappled with the messenger from the
other world and threw him to the floor.
The believers Immediately attacked the
young man, and his friends took his
part. Believers and unbeievers rolled
on the floor together. The lights
were at length turned up, when, to
the amazement of the believing circle,
the materialized spirit proved TO be the
medium IN exceedingly airy attire, while
the clothing out of which he had slipped
remained fast to the chair. The spiritu-
alists manifested great indignation. A
warrant was sworn out for Wyman's ar
rest for obtaining money under false pre-
fences. A hearing was had before Jus.
tice Baird, and Wymsn, In default OF bail,
was held to await the action Of the grand
jury. Wyman was the chief medium at
the recent State spiritualist camp meet
Ing in Clinton. He came to TINS place
from Evanston and Chicago, where he

chinese Y. NJ. G. A.

The dedication of the new building in
rear of the Chinese Church, to be occu-
pied by the Yau Hok XII Tux Ching Tt
vi, or Chinese Young Mems Christian
Association, took place last evening.
The entrance to the building is from
Beretania street by short lane. AT
the head of this lane is an archway on
which are Chinese characters in gold,
meaning Chinese Y. NJ. G.. A. This
lane was decorated with palm leaves and
numerous colored lanterns. The build
ing is two story, of neat design, and is
painted brown, with dark red trimmings.
On the ground floor is the reading and
book rooms, and twelve other rooms
which will be used to lodge destitute
Christian and other Chinese. For the
first month they will be lodged free,
after that they will have to pay rent. In
the rear OF the building are rooms for
Chinese women, all neatly fitted up.
The first story is approached by Two
flight of stairs, one in front the other in
rear. There will be found large and
comfortable hall fitted up with every
convenience, and last evening it was
tastefully decorated with ferns, palm
leaves and flowers At one end, in large
Chinese characters, is the name of the
society, and in another part of the room
the charter of the Association. In the
front OF the building is a wide veranda,
while from the one at the back beauti-
full view of the mountains can be OBJ
tanned, In rear of the hall are four
rooms, which will be kept for any Chi
nese visitors from the other islands. The
whole of the work has been done by Chi
nese. Mr.. f. w. Damon, Superintendent
of the Chinese Mission, has labored very
hard, and is now rewarded by seeing a
handsome building erected. The total
cost is 5000, and it is nearly all paid
for. The Chinese have been very liberal,
and so have many foreigners. Mr..
Damon speaks of it as philanthropic
institution, and thinks that such a So
ciety will do more good among Chinese
than anything else in the Islands.
The large hall was crowded in every
part Among those present were: Her
Royal Highness Princess Likelike, Hon.
A. s. Cleghorn, Acting Governor; His
Honor the Chief Justice and Mrs. Judd,
Hon. Charles r. Bishop, Hon. II. NJ.
Whitney and Mrs. Whitney, the Rev
erends George Wallace, J. A. Cruzan,
c. f. Grosser, E. c. Oggel and Mrs.
Oggel; Messrs. Henry Waterhouse, T,
H. Davies, p. c. Jones, w. w. Hall, c..
NJ. Cooke, J. and NJ. LYMAN, etc. On the
platform were: Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Hyde,
Mr.. t. w. Damon, Mr.. Goo
Kim and Mr.. Foo, Chinese pas
tor. The exercises opened with
the reciting Of the Lords Prayer by the
members of the Chinese Boys Christian
Association. The 24th Psalm was next
read in Chinese and English, after which
a hymn was sung. Mr. F. w Damon
gave a historical account of the Chinese
YM. c.. A, followed by Mr.. Goo Kim
with a similar one in Chinese. The ode
of dedication was read by DIR. Hyde in
English and by the Chinese Pastor in
Chinese. This concluded the dedication
exercises. Refreshments were served
and soon after the large audience dis
persed.
