Supplement t 0 ©min Jerald. 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.
