THE DAILY TIMES.
Mark Twain at Maitara.
Niagara Falls is one of the finest
structures in the world. I have beet
visiting this favorite waterlng-plac,
recently for the first time, and wm
well pleased.
A gentleman who was with me sab
it whs customary to bo disappoints
tu the Falls, but that subsequent vis
its were sure to set that all light. H>
said that it was so with him. He sail,
that the first time he went hack-fare
were so much higher than the Fulls
t hat the Falls appeared insignificant
But that Is all regulated now.
The htickmeu have been tamed,
numbered, aud ptacadrod and black
guarded, aud brought into subjet'-
ion of the law, and dosed with moral
principle till they are weak as mis
slouurles.
They are divided into two elute
now, the Regulars and the Privn
leers, and employ their idle time h
warning people against each other.
The Regulars are under the hotel
banners, uud the Privateers prowi
darkly on neutral ground aud pick
off stragglers at half price.
But there ure no more outrages
and extortions. That sort of thing
cured itself. It made the Falls un
popular by getting into the newspa
pers. and whenever a public evil
achieves that sort of success for it
self its days are numbered.
It became apparent that either the
Lulls had to be discontinued, or tin
huckmen had to sabsi.de. They could
not dam the Falls, so they uid the
hackmen. One can be comfortable
and happy there now.
I drank up most of the American
Falls before I learned that the witters
went not considered medical. \Vn>
are people left in ignorance t his wav V
I might have gone ou and ruined it
tine property merely for the want ut
a little information.
Aud yet the sources of information
are uot meagre at Niagara Falls.
You are something in doubt what
tou ought to do, but you are seldom
in doubt concerning what to do.
If an infant can read, that Infant is
irlhnsurubly safe in Niagara.
If you room at the hotel you will
find your course marked out in the
most convenient way, by means of
placards on the wall like these:
"Poll the bell-rope gently, but don’t
jerk.”
“Bolt your door.”
“Dout scrape matches on the walls
or furniture.’
“Turn off your gas when yon re
tire.”
“Tie up your dog."
“If you put your hoots outside the
door they will lie blacked, but the
house will not be responsible for their
return.”
This is a confusing and tunglcsbme
proposition, because it moves you to
deliberate long aud puiufully us to
whether it will really beany object
to you to have your boots blacked
unless they are returned.
"Give your key to ihe omnibus
driver if you forget, and curry it off
with you.”
Outside the hotel, wherever you
wander, you are intelligently assist
ed by the signs:
“Keep off the grass.”
"Don’t climb the trees.”
"Hands off the vegetables.”
“Don’t bitch your horse to the
shrubbery,”
“Visit the Cave of the Winds.”
"Have your portrait taken in your
carriage.”
“Forty per cent, in gold levied on
all peanuts atnl other curiosities pur
chased iu Canada.”
"Photographs of the Falls taken
here.
"Visitors will please notify the Su
lieriutendciit of any neglect on the
part of employees to charge for com
modities.”
(No inattention of this kind is ob
served. J
"Don’t throw stones down ; there
might be people below.”
“The proprietors will not be re
sponsible for parties who jump over
the falls.”
iMore shirking of responsibility—
it appears to be the prevailing thing
here.)
I always had a high regard for the
signers of the Declaration of Inde
tieudance, hut now they did not real
ly seem to amount to much along
with the singers of the Niitgra Fulls.
To tell the truth the multitude of
singers annoyed me. It was because
I noticed at.last they were prohibit
ing the very thing I was just wanting
to do.
I desired to roll on the grass; the
sign prohibited it. I longed to smoke;
a sign prohibited it. And I was just
in the net of throwing u stone over to
astonish and pulverize such parlies
as might be picnicking below, when
a sign l have just mentioned forbade
that. Even that satisfaction vvtis de
nted me, aud I was a friendless or
phan.
There was no resource now Imt to
seek consolation from the flowing
bowl. I drew my flask from my
pocket, but it was ail in vain. A
sign confronted me, which said ;
"Nodrinking is allowed ou these
premises.”
On that B|>ot I might have perished
of thirst but for the saving 'words of
an honored maxim that flitted
through nty memory at that mo
ment : “AH signs tail in dry times.”
Common law takes precedence of the
statutes. I was saved.
The noble red man had always
been a darling of mine. I loved to
read about him in tale and legends
aud romance.
I love to read of his Inspired saga
city, and of his love of the wild, free
life of mountain and forest, and his
grand truthfulness; his hatred of
treachery, and his general nobility of
character, and Ids stately metaphor
ical speech, and tits chivalrio love for
the dusky maiden, and the pictur
esque pomp of his dress and accou
trements.
When I found the shops at Niagara
Fulls full of dainty bead-work and
stunniug moccasins, arid equally
stunning toy figures representing hu
man beings who carried their weap
ons in holes bored in their arms and
bodies, shaped like a pie, I was filled
with emotion. I knew that now 1
was going to come face to face with
the noble red man.
A lady clerk in the shop told me,
indeed, that all her grand array was
ma<le by the Indians, aud there were
plenty about the Fulls, and that they
were friendly, and that It would uot
be dangerous to B[>eak to them.
I came uixiu a camp of them gath
ered in the shade of a great tree,
making moccasins, auu addressed
them in the following language or
friendship; , „
“Noble Bed Men, Brave Grand Sa
chem. WarCtiiefs, Squaws,and High

“Down wid him!”

"Dniowu In tit 1”
It was the quickest operation I
ever saw. 1 simply saw a suddeu
flush iu ttie air or clubs, brickbats.
U, iii'iiu baski ts, altd moccasins—
a single flush and they all appeared
to hit me at once and no two of them
in the same place.
In the next instant the entjro tribe
was upon me. They tore all the
clothes off me; they broke all my
arms and legs; they gave me a thum a.
Unit UeuleU Uie top of my head till it
would hold coffee like a saucer, aud
then to crown their disgraeetul pro*
coediugs and add insult to injury,
they threw me over the Horseshoe
Fall and I got wet.
About ninety-mine or a hundred
feet from the top the remains of my
vest caugnt on a projecting roi k.
and I was almost drowned before I
could get loose.
1 finally fell and brought up in a
world of foam ut the foot of of the
Fall, whose celled and bubbly mas
ses towered up several inches above
uiv head.
Of course I got into ♦he eddy. I
sailed round aud round it forty-four
times, chasing a chip and gninuigou
it each round trip u half mile
reaching u bush on the hank forty
four times, and just missing it a
hair’s breadth every time.
At. last a tuau walked down and sat
down close to that bush, and put a
pijie in Ids mout h and lit it match and
followed me with one eye and kept
the other on the match while he
sheltered it with his hands from the
wind. Presently I remarked, “Please
excuse the curiosity of a drowning
man, but will you explain this singu
lar conduct of yours? 1 ’
"With pleasure. I atn tho Coro
ner. Don’t hurry ou my account.
I can wait for you. I wish I had a
match.”
“ Dike my place and I’ll go aud get
vmi one,” 1 said.
He declined. This lack of confi
dence “ti his part created a coolness
between us, and from that time for
ward I avoided him.
It. was my idea iu case anything
happened to me to so time occur
rence as to throw uiv custom into the
minds of t he opposition Coroner over
ou the American side.
At lust a polioei. an came along and
arrested me for disturbing the peace
liv veiling for help.
I’he Judge lined me, hut I had the
advantage of him. My money was
with my pantaloons, which were
with the Indians.
Thus I escaped. I atn now lying
in a very critical condition. At least
I utn King any way critical or not.
lam hurt all over, but I cannot
tell t he extent yet, because the doctor
is not, done taking the inventory.
He will make out my manifest this
evening. However, thus far, in
thinks only six of my wounds are
lUinl. I don’t mind the otlters.
Upon regaining my fight triitnl I
said :
“It is an awfully savage tribe of
Indians that do the bead-work and
moccasins for Niagara Falls, doctor.
Where are they from?”
I shall not be able to finish my re
marks about Niagara Falls until I
get better.
Iron Paper. In the great exhibi
tion of 1851 in London an American
specimen of iron paper wasexhibited.
A lively coinpction among iron rol
ling mailulaoturers was excited by
the above challenge from America,
as to t he thinness to wldeh (rou could
lie rolled colil. Mr. Gillott rolled
sheets the average t Idokness of Which
was the eighteen hundredth part of
an inch. In other words I,Bno sheets
piled upon each other would collect
ively measure an inch in thickness,
while the thinnest tissue paper to be
purchased iu the stationer’s store
measures the twelve hundredth of
an inch. These very thin sheets art*
perfectly smooth and easy to write
on, although porous when held Up
to a good light.
Spanish Interpretation en trant'* tie*,

London, Dec. 10.—A Madrid dis
patch to the Standard says that
Thursday morning’s papers there
express the opinion that the portion
of President Grant’s message ou Cu
ban affairs is no more alarming than
itis former utterance on tho subject.
Tho Conservative journals consider
his language serious. The general
opinion in political circles is that the
message is favorable. The Epoca
and the Diario Espunola think that
the intervention plot is not really In
tended, and iielieve that Europe
would not allow it.
Further reinforcements are prepar
ing for Cuba.

Macon, Oa., Dec. 10.—The engine

Mtwi from the Frontier
San Antonio, Dec. 10-The Fort
Davis correspondent of San Antonio,
Herald, writes that four days ago a
Mr. Lyle was shot in the leg, which
was subsequent ly amputated by In
dians within 25 miles of Fort Davis,
On same night an American was shot
through the body by Indians within
flive miles of the Fort. Soldiers and
and citizens are out in pursuit. Its is
believed at head quarters thathe per
petrators were not Indians but white
men. Gen. Shatter’* scout has re
turned to Fort Oottohl and various
companies nil returning to their posts.
Genl. Ord is satisfied with the re
sult of the scout.
Various large bands of Indians have
been dispersed and driven off, and
thus prevented from raiding into
Texas, and much valuable informa
tion lias been obtained about the
hitherto unexplored pmtion of the
Staked J?lains.
Gen. Ord says the raod from Mexico
into Texas, is as bad as if Cortina had
not boon arrested.
The feeling between the Americans
and Mexicans along the Lower Rio
Grande, is intensely bitter.
Gen. A. Baird, Inspector General of
the Division of Missouri has arrived.
Hnbrork Indicted.
St. Louis, Dec. 10. The Grand Ju
ry presented their ten new indict
ments, including one against Gen.
Babcock, for whom an officer has
gone to Chicago.
Mr. Henderson, in replying to Mr.
Pierrepont’s rebuke, says he stands
by his speoeh and has no apologies
to make.
New York, Dec. 10.-A special to
the Times from St. Louis says the
indictment against Gen. Babcock
was found by a vote of IS to 1 in fa
vor or a true bill. The charge con
tained in the indictment is conspir
ing to defraud the Treasury of the
United States. The Grand Jury, be
fore adjourning, sent letters to ex-
Marshul Newcomb and District At
torney Patrick, saying thut although
charges had boou made against them
of conspiring to defraud the Govern
ment, a full and exhaustive investi
gation had failed to convince ttie ju
ry of their guilt.
