he should by all means prevent the

Senator Vest is the ablest ready de-
batter on the democratic side of the
senate; and he was the only member
of his party in that body with whom
the brilliant Ingalls, of Kansas never
sought forensic wrangle. Senator
Vest is a very apt story-teller, and
sometimes makes some OF the most tell
ing points in his speeches by anecdotal
illustrations. One of his most telling
applications of an incident was deliv-
cred when he ridiculed Senator Hill,
who is known to be Cleveland's worst
enemy, but who had delivered a long
speech in the senate, ostensibly in de-
Tense of Cleveland for his course in
tariff legislation. Senator Vest said:
II once made a speech in defense OF u
noted criminal, but in order to save
him it became necessary for me to pic
ture him ITO, the sjury as man OF tspefs
low order of moral sensibilities
that Il he was ignorant of the .ex-

therefore could not commit crime.

great waterfall at NIAGARA was suspend
cd and that many people passed over its
dangerous rocky places dry shod. He
says that this miracle was wrought IL
lS4S, during the month of March. To
be exact, it was on the morning o.
March 30, lS4S; and for several hours
the wonderful, the resistless. the cease
less torrent did cease to flow, and the
greatest river in the world ran dry.
Its power was paralyzcd. Its roaring
sunk into silence. 1t was quenched
and Inundated, bleak, bare and barren
as desert.
The preceding winter had been q
severe one. and the ice which had
formed in Lake Erie was of phenomen-
al thickness. There came on March
p sudden exceedingly warm spell of
weather which melted the SHOWS, and
then warm rain poured down in
torrents during the entire day of the
2sth of March. The lee was loosencd
and strong east wind drove it far out
in the lake during the night. But at
sunrise on the Goth the wind came from
the west, and. as the sailors say, it was
blowing great guns. This terrific
gale drove the immense iaaSs of ice
into the mouth of Niagara river, where
it was gorged and piled up IRON shore
to shore, Theoretically sealing the river
and damming the waters back into the
lake. Thus it happened that Niagara
ran dry, its falls became bleak. barren
rocks, and its mighty thunders were
put to sleep. Within four or five hours
tiny streams of water began to
trickle through the gorge. The
tremendous power back of those
streams accelerated their flowing; and
i'll short time the ice dam gave way
and there never was such wild,
roaring, mad flood in Niagara before
or since. And thus the cataract became
itself again.
This story suggests to me the thought
that the same power which thus
throttled the mighty Niagara may as
readily have divided the Red sea and
the Jordan; and unbelievers may no
longer have reason to doubt those
! miracles.
