The Savannah Dally Herald
The Walker.
After walking six miles I came to “the
ridge" which was once an ancient shore of
the lake. Before being compelled to take a
smaller bed, Ontario bad stopped there to
roll up sand and gravel for a million years.
It appears from this, that men are not the
only things which were larger once than
they now are. “This lake ridge,” says the
Cyclopedia, “is a narrow elevation ranging
from Sodus, in Wayne county, to Niagara
River, nearly parallel with the edge of the
lake, and at a distance of from three to eight
miles from it. Its elevation is in places
nearly two hundred feet above the lake, and
generally exceeds one hundred and sixtv
feet.”
Leaving the ridge, which stretches east
and west, between two rows of maple and
locust trees, I turned down the road towards
Ontario, aud walked straight Into the misty
haze which hid the end of the road aud cut
off my view of the lake. The iorests on
both sides of that long straight road, seemed
to be retreating in a solid body. There were
no stragglers except the stumps. Looking
down the road, I could see a faint swell of
green made by the small trees, whioh the
people had planted near their homes.
Walking on that road was a steady pull
between rail-fences and red stone-walls. —
The grass-hoppers flew up in small clouds
and cleared the way lor me ; the butterflies
made a weak and uncertain flight among the
weeds, while the bumblebees hovered
around the great red-headed thistles and
bumbled ns they went. My road was direct
and flat, and I knew where it would lead
me. But I did not admire the science which
makes a straight road in western places, and
brags about certainty. If a man is brave
enough, he shall find it pleasant to walk on
a crooked road and trust his wit.
The houses were small and brown and
made in some cheap barn-like fashion. I saw
many lean women about the doors, where
they had spread plums and peaches to dry
in the sun. I heard a gun and a dog and a
cow-bell in the woods, and I inferred that
the back places and towns are all one when
it comes to the matter of cow-belis. On one
of the farms 1 saw a flock of sheep which
had huddled together in the middle of an
open field; every sheep was holding its
nose uuder the belly of another ; but I did
not see hew their union could give them
strength in such hot weather.
When not more than a mile from the lake,
I crossed two or three small ridges of red
sandstone, and then came to broad fields of
clay where grass and grain and farmers have
things all their own way. I met the tog just
before I came to those ridges, and I smelt
the same odor which had attracted me in the
morning. Meeting a couple of men, I said
to one of them, “Do I smell the lake ?” He
stopped long enough to sniff my quality,
then turned his nose into the cool breeze
from the lake, and said he thought I could.
Near by was a neat farm-house in front of a
cabin like those I had passed. I then saw
the amount of taste ttiat is packed away in
mean houses, to wait for its chance to re
build the world.
I heard the swash of the lake, but I could
not see the warer until I came near the bluff.
The shore—a high bank of earth with stones
below—is raw and unfinished, and it hag
none of that wonderful refinement which
you often find on the borders of the sternest
things. The pebbles were well rounded,
however, and, when I waded into the strange
water, I found I was walking upon a mosaic
ot red and green stones that were smooth to
my feet. The fog soon began to lift itself,
and I had a full view oi the lake. There
were no craft in sight, and I had the sensa
tion of being outside of all men. The hired
man, who bad no speech for me at dinner
time, soon joined me and had words a plen
ty. He had fished in Huron and bathed in
the surf at Coney Island. He told me of a
smuggler-craft which he had observed sink
ing barrels just off where we sat; and be
then told me of other boats that came in the
evening to fish up the sunken whiskey. He
talked, and those gieen waters, lonely as they
were, soon took on a flavor of romance and
reckless adventure. —Oneida Circular.
By the by. we see that Mr. Speaker Col
fax has put General Banks at (he bead of the
Committee ou Foreign Affairs in the lower
House. Now, that" Massachusetts has a
monopoly of Lord John Russell, Louis Na
poleon, the Emperor Maximillian, President
Juarez and Senor Ortega, besides the cotton
factories, we hope that indefatigable com
munity will be sufficiently occupied without
coming on here at short intervals, as has
been their custom, to see vahetber our under
pinning is in order. —New Yorlc Herald.
An Imposter Exposed. —The German cal
ling himself Deja Baume, who figured con
spicuously as a"witness in the Wirz court
martial, testifying to having seen Wirz mur
der Federal prisoners, and representing him
.self as a great-grandson of Lafayette, and
'who, on the recommendation ot members of
Congress, was appointed to a clerkship in
•he Interior Department, was discharged
from that position on the 24th ult.. several
officers and men.of the Seventh New York
Volunteers having convinced Mr. Harlan
that he is ap imposter and a swindler, and a
deserter from that regiment.
