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. H.
