 EXcI RsIoN TO NIAGARA FALLS AND
 CHICAGO.
 Saturday morning the scribes bade the hospitable city of Detroit re- gretful adleu, and were off to Mag ara Falls, going through Ontario, Canada. via the Grand Trunk R. R. Farms are well kept up in the Do- minion, though land not near so good as the vast fertile fields we saw in passing through Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. In many places, huge stumps were so arranged as to make long strings of fencing-a novel sight to our large party. Arrived al Niagara Falls, \. r., at 6p. m., and many immediately walked down to view the worlds most wonderful and grand cataract. Words are made Quate to describe its grandeur, mag nihccncc and impressiveness. No wonder that thousands flock here from every quarter of the globe to gaze with feelings of solemnity, awe and admiration on the tumultuous ! fall of waters. and to adore the power and majesty of the Almighty as these are exhibited and realized amid such sublime scenery. The American Falls have a perpendicular helght of l64 feet. while the large Horseshoe | Falls have ljS feet. After quiet night rest we took carriages and visited all places of interest. Viewed both American and Horseshoe Falls, on board steamer Maid of the Mist" directly below them; visited the rapids, whirlpool, Cave of Winds, etc. Shall never forget the awful experience of going behind the Falls in Cave of Winds, in company with Mcssrs, Thos. Rees and ]. B. Gill, of Ill.,, and --- Thompson, and an other friend from Louisiana. While there ( Graham claimed that he went over the Horseshoe Falls, about G o clock. in his barrel, and another man, Steve Brodic, claims to have since gone over in rubber suit, but few believe either actually did it only three or four witnesses con firm their story. Many persons have passed over the Falls, but always with fatal results. But enough about the Falls Everybody who can should visit the great Niagara, even if it is expensive, and money is demanded
