ON THE ELY.
Fonda, N. ¥., August *25, 1886.
EntTOIIH SKNTtNKt.:
The next day was spent in Glovers
ville, a town of 15,000 inhabitants
that sprung up aw if by magic. Its
phenomenal growth is attributed to
ita strict temperance laws. Intoxi
cating drinks were novel allowed to
be sold within its borders. The day
was spent with the family of n
wealthy manufacturer. He
took great pains in showing us
through his large establishment where
several hnndred girls were busy put
ting the finishing touches on tin » kid
gloves that were soon to adorn the
lilly hands of the daughters of the
rich. His good wife and charming
daughters were equally attentive in
showing us around the grounds at
their palatial home mid entertaining
us with fine music, and best of nil
that good old fashion dinner, consist
ing of six courses each in succession
eclqwing the other in flavor and the
artistic mannel of serving. Wo went
to the barn which looked more like a
fine dwelling than n place where
horses and cows are kept. The
horses peeped at us through the
glass windows and had evidently en
joyed their dinner as well as we, if it
did not consist of quite ho many
countes. They as well as ourselves
seemed a little reluctant to leave and
quit© naturally cast a lingering look
behind. The next Sunday was spent
in the sprightly town of Canajoharie.
Thia is is one of the prettiest and
moat enterprising places in the Mo
hawk Valley. They have at this place
a flourishing temperance organize
tion called Rvchabiles. 1 met Mr.
Hawley, one of the leaders on Satur
day. He allowed me through then
new apartments just completed. The
next day at throe they were to have a
service called a gospel temperance
meeting. After telling Mr. H. 1
would try and Im- with them, he in
sisted on me leading the meeting.
After assuring me there would t>e but
a small gathering composed almost <-u
tirely of young men 1 consented to be
on hand. The next day at one of the
large ami bn -t fashionable churches
a notice w n read, r’nting (hat the
meeting at the temperance h.-dl nt
three would bo conduct (• I by
a Georgian frc-ih from the
battle field in Columbia county
and every I.■■•ly was request* I to-be
on blind ns n rare treat wuh in store
for them. 1 found I had got my foot
in it. I ».Tuic<l r -,cil< 'lly mid bur
riedly over the crowd, composed of
the elite .flic city. S > ninny bid 1-
hend.d null mid finely die <d ladies
all looking n I vainly suppose 1 right
nt me. I fell like a dry inullen stalk
in a bed of pinks nml roses. I tried
to imagine how I -hotild feel at three
o’clock when this fashionable crowd
hud wedge,l themselves into that hall
nml wer., < xj'-efing to be entcilained
by my eloquence. How I would be
looking for- >mo aperture or private
<l<>or through which I might slip un
noticed and board the first cunnl boat
for sleepy hollow. iJ.it trouble like
danger always looks more frightful in
the distance. If we face it boldly it
sinks into insignificance and usually
disappears < ntirely before we come in
contact with it. So in this case, while
its true, nearly the same ben of roses
and pinks w< re here, but in stead of
feeling like a inullen stalk, I really
imagined myself a stately elm or a
tall cicamore, nml passed through
what 1 had expected would boa ter
rible ordeal without a scratch or
blemish.
The next day I paid SI.OO for a
round triii ticket to Niagara, which
insured me a ride of GOO miles over
the finest road in the world. It’s
called the nickel plated road. All the
equipments nru of the finest and best.
The cars are provided with paper
wheels and carries you noiselessly
along nt the rate of 50 miles an hour.
The track is so smooth and the wheels
so tluo and round that one can scarce
ly feel tiny motion and unless you
look out of the window would really
think you was passing the time in
some finely furnished parlor. We
left homo at midnight and at seven
wo were taking breakfast nt the Cata
ract House, amid the roar of the
great falls. Three hundred miles left
behind nml we hardly realized we
had been traveling. Our party con
sisted of eight, nil of the sterner sex.
We secured a couple of carriages and
struck out for gout island, which is
above the falls nml divides theAmeri
ean from firn Horseshoe or Canada
falls. After getting safely on the is
aml we alighted nml commenced to
explore every nook and corner.—
The day wns clear nml just
cool enough for comfort.—
This is by fur the greatest natural
wonder that I ever beheld and to
give you any idea on paper is simply
impossible. 1 bought some photo
: graps, but they nil look so tame and
' meagre compared to the real that I
don't think I shall show them when I
got home. We crossed the new sus
pension bridge which is about one
haff mile below the falls. We stop
ped in the middle of the bridge ami
let the carriages go on. Here we have
| erhaps the best view of the whole
falls We are IMM) feet above the wa
ter and suspended in the air by slen
der wires that have no support be
tween the towns that are 12(10 feet
apart or nearly one half mile. From
his point wo could see the people
just under the American fulls walking
along on th* slender bridges from
point to point with their rubber suits
on. milking their way to the eave of
the winds which is immediately un
der the falls. They looked like little
insects from our elevated position,—
The view down the river is also grand
from this point. The other bridges
are a mile below but don't appear
more than a hundred yards. Just
below the falls and right b< nenth us
n small steamer called the "Maid of
the West” is constantly running
loaded with the more adventurous
clothed also in rubber suit* to pro
tect them from the mist or spray.—
ll« re the surface of the river is quite
smooth for a distance of nearly two
miles where the gorge suddenly nar
rows and the ;. ri at waters are col -
fined between perpendicular walls of
;UH) feet in height and one-fourth of a
mile apart. Here commences the
whirlpool rapids where tin water is
supposed to be fifty feet deep and
dashes and plunges over the rocky
bed over an angle of some 300 feet to
the mile to the whirlpool at the bot
tom when it again widens out ami a
few tulles farther enters into Ontario
Lake I saw Graham and Scott
m ike their ]x.-rilous journey through
these rapids. One in a (barrel with
his head sticking out, the other with
only a jacket of cork. The first got
through badly bruised but with a
little life in him, (he other was dashed
to pit cr-s on the rocks; three was bare
ly enough left of him to fork, a nu
cleus for n funeral. The next day we
went over in Canada and some of the
party proposed going up the river a
few miles where there was an encamp
nient of Indians. We nil decided to
go ami spend a day on English soil.
