In some part of China. How is that? ?

We. think that your friend is par
italy right, and that you are wholly
inE error. The height of Niagara is 1876
feet, but the height of the Yosemite in
california is 1850 feet. It is not the
equal, however, of Niagara Falls in
:auahtity and greatness. Niagara Falls
>is the greatest cataract in the world
but not the highest.

At first we doubted the propriety OF
answering your question at this time,
but on further reflection concluded to
do so. Your question is more prolific
in meaning between the lines than in
It's language, and hence would require
more space for an adequate ans Ger

Whom you call attention. The Rev. Dr.
Ryan is rector of the Episcopal church
of this city and is recognized by every
