!? * SNATCHED FROM NIAGARA. ' f I ? " Yes, stranger, it is a mighty fiao fall. | I guess Niagara beats creation for big- , ness. Yon curiosity-hunters can't lind a dip of water better worth eyeing over in all your juunts anywhere. Well, you see, it's just an ocean, as it were, rolling | oyer that limestone lodge. Foam, spray , and thunder?one dull, eternal, awful roar, spanned by shifting rainbows? that's it. # " It's like an entertainment provided I for those who house at our hotels; some- i thing to draw customer and tot up a j jolly return for the capital invested. That's it, isn't it ? It gives you a pleas- i ure to talk about and pay for, and brings | dollars to those that let you lodgings, i Oome, it is up to your notions, ic it not, ' stranger ?" " Can't you sec something bc-yond i dollars and cents in this wonder of : wonders ?" I said. " I krjow familiarity J breeds contempt toward most things, | but I rather expected to find Niagara j * beyond this customary result." " Well, to say the plain truth, I don't | go in for outlandish bowlings about this i foarer; but when you talk of my having i any sort of contempt for it, I tell yon my fanoies about Old Thunderer are some - i thing particularly different to that. J Shall I tell you why ? Are you in a \ listening tit ? ' Yes ? Then for onco I'll j let out a story I have in my mcroory, I and no living man, native or foreign, j has anything to pair off with it as re- i spects this tumbler below us." So, with j the dread music in my ears of this mighty 1 mass of flashing-down waters, I listened to a tale that has v.ver since formed part of my reflections of Niagara. " I'm tong'fci?v? still, you see. Oldish 1 rather, for sixty odd years I've lived i hereabout; for here I was born. I know ! this place pretty well, I guess; every foot of every rock, of every track for long mile* away?up to Erie and down to Ontario. iTi* Id and forest know my shoe leather all tnrough these parts. "When I was thirty, or thereabout, I hutted up this river some four miles or so away. You've tracked it down maybe to here. You'd hardly think we } were coming upon this. The country ; up river is flattieb. Tbe river slides along quiet enough, too. No ciags, no 1 precipices, no darksome forests; all is fertile and good to the eye of roan? just peace and plenty. It is different, ! though, as the sound of thunder ahead grows upon you?dull, awful, everlast-! ing, thai has sounded on from creation, and will outlast you and me, stranger, and thousands of generations yet to oome. "How does it strike you? You see it, I dare say, as I saw it two score years ago. To you it is terrible, but not all terror. It's lovely, too. And to me ? well, to me it is horror only; it has been so since that day when I hung on ^ its very brink for hours, and thought of it as one might think in a nightmare dream of some hideous thing, incon- ; oeivable, unutterable, that held one in ; grasp. But mine was no 1 vision o!~the -night,- to laugh at when j awakened. Those hours grizzled the j then brown of my young head into the iron gray you see'it now. Their iron entered into my soul, as they say. It I has lived there ever since, night and day, season and season. There it will stay till the death-rattle kills the memory of all this side of my coffin, y-y? "I hunted and fished then. That's how I lived. Visitors then came pretty plentiful to see this wonder. I conld get a ready sale for what I caught, whether it was fur or fin. I had canoed it from when I could recollect anything, ftnrl rsraa r?rotfv ctitt T foil fon wit.Vi flip paddles, and pretty venturesome, too, I became, till I thought I was strong enough and skilled enough to run risks hereabout that others would have shud- j dered from. " I thought I knew Niagara too well to be in any danger from it. 1 was so familiar with it, I thought of it with none of the scare newcomers found in | it. I used to langh at their genuine j fears at the very night and sound of it. ! I knew it by night when the calm moon- ! light poured down light through the I silvered spray clouds that hung over it; ! by day, when the glad snn danccd rainbows above its flashing floods. Then it j was too old a friend of mine to be dreaded by me. "One day changed all this, an3 I I knew ic for the hungry monster that it j is?pitiless, craving for its human prey, j, "It was one Wednesday in August, i The hotels were full. Fish was in re- I r quest, as much as I could bring. Price J ' didn't matter. Pleasure seekers bleed ! freely. I was paid well for what could i be charged for as they liked. I had I found that nearer the rapids I got the ' t finer seemed what I caught, and the j, more freely the bait was taken. I had no often gone where most were too 1 timid to venture that I had come to be- 1 lieve I could skim anywhere. " Even now I think had my paddle ' ' been pound, I should have come off safe. j " Well, that morning I was out at , p sunrise, and pretty successful I was. I steadied my course, letting the canoe , drift little by little toward the rapids j ?, that frothed and raved some miles be-?few. I felt at any moment I could 6hoot j * it out of the strength of the current into ' the smoother waters by the shore. " I got fully employed with*my lines, ! for, as I glided down stream, my take J ? ?? was rapid, and that of the finest. So * -. eager was I that I failed to pay that at- I ? "tention to the drift of my canoe which - was so needful. ' * " "It was with a start, at last. I felt I was far too much in the deep current of i * the river, and that its strength would -* need my utmost efforts to escape from i its grasp. For the first time I felt real * dread, for tho boiling and hiss of the seething waters could almost be heard j below me. I plied the paddles strongly, ! * V. and for & while I had hopes of safety, j though I had never known the need of . the exertions I was now using to draw [ ,V, myself out of the mighty force of the | .. - flood tnat sped onward to 't fearful 1 fall. c ' * "Inch by inch I fought my way up j ^"stream and toward the shore where I 1 was to sell my morning's takings. Every 1 c ii}ch was won by a strain that made the i1 f .perspiration start from every pore. It * .^'was for life I fought, for dear life. It 1 . -was. death that I pulled against?and ' 1 such a death ! for it was as if a curtain i ? was suddenly withdrawn to show me all I 1 the danger E had so long been running unconsciously. It flashed into mv i? thoughts how I had played in the very i J jaws of destruction that now seemed to i' ^hunger for me. j f " As I toiled frantically against the < rushing waters, they were living things ' whose clutch sought to drag me with ! * them to share their awful doom. I had 1 * grown so used to the roar of th6 cataract ' r t (as I now recollected, so near 1) that my ' r thoughts had caased to be cognizant of 1 it; now it almost stunned me. ' * . "Minutes that had seemed hout3 had * * passed, and still I was struggling fran- ; ' * feically, streaming with frenzied exer- :' ' ' *' tions. I had wou some way. I had edged some distance from the central rush of 1 i the river, and safety would be found in | ] the slower waters that skirted the bank, .< could I but reach them. "i bent still more madly to the effort. -j2n a moment I had lost my hold on j * existence, and was rushing, helpless and ' "^hopeless, to the dreadful fate I had been lighting against. On a of my paddles, j ^overstrained, had broken, and, at the i .. Sbercy of the mighty flood, I was speed- j jug ftvery minute more swiftly to what '"knew so well?what I Baw as plainly 1 with my mind's eye as I had thousands I: of times seen it with my living sight. 44 How I Baw all we are looking down - pchere! Not a sight, not a sound we seeing and hearing, but what was IB that moment nearu huh ascu uj mo i 1 -mora vividly than now. I was literally , ' _ bewildered with the roar I now hear bo ?? calmly. "I shrieked alond in my agony as I clasped my useless hands over my sight, ? vainly, to shut oat the smooth slide of 'the inland sea, as I saw it flashing back ^tbe morning sun as it leapt into the misty gulf into whose thunder it shot. "A few moments bore me down to the rapids. A few minntes, and' I was through them?safely. How I escaped wreck among them pozzies me. I was V too paralyzed with horror to nse my one paddle, to in any way steer my light craft through tho foaming enrrenta on i l ' < v svhich it tossed. Its lighfcaess must have saved it. Had it been a heavier built boat it would have been dashed to shreds a score of times before we reached 3mooth water. As it was, it danced along, frolicking, as it seemed to me, with a ghastly defiance of the destiny to which it so surely hurried. "(Out of the hissing ! out of the frothing foam ! We were 011 the calm, majestic mass of water?the sea tide, you might surely call it, that was to hurl itself and me to atoms. " How oddly the mind acts in such moments of horror ! Would you believe it! a tradition of Niagara actually occurred to me as I flashed along. It was an Indian legend. I remembered how an Indian squaw, long the favorite of a famous chief, found a young maiden was to snpplant her in her wigwam. I recollect?I swear I saw it as plainly as if imagination and reality were one?she bore the best-loved child she had borne to its father from her forest home till she reached a canoe. Then she paddled herself and her boy into the full stream and cast the paddles from her, and with a heavy heart, nerved by hate and revenge and misery unendurable, stood up chanting her death song, that recounted her wrong and her misery, and welcomed her coming escape from it, till they shot into eternity amid the turmoil of waters below. "Even while this was for an instant flashing through my bewildered brain I was entering the very heart of the thunder of the fall. Moments only separated me from my release from agony. But the Indian stoicism was foreign to me; I could have yelled aloud in the terror that possessed me. " I dared not await seated the awful last moment that was so near. I faced my fate ; I turned ; I stood up. I looked straight nhead to where the curving waters were to launch me to peace eternal. "The flood had scarcely a ripple on its surface." " Was it real ? Within a few yards of the awful brink the canoe bad shot by a flat speck of rock that off the shores of Goat island lay stirless on the very edge of the abyss. " With a hardly conscions effort in passing I had sprung to the slippery surface. That moment had saved me from instant annihilation. The canoe was gone. I was standing, as yet alive, while, almost washing my very feet, the sea of waters hurried on?on?on either side of me, and disappeared, "I gasped a cry of blessing for deliverance. Deliverance? Was it deliverance ? For how long ? I yet breathed, but who would, who could, save me from the rushing flood that tore past me, from the thundering cataract that fell almost within reach of my touch? " Oh, heaven! What had I saved life for ? For a prolonged agony ? For such misery as must end in starvation, madness, suicide ? Could my mind long bear the strain now upon it? How could it ? "Let your eyes skirt the rounding edge of this nearest fall. You can see the very rock I was on. It looks but yards from the larger space of Goat island, but those yards were as bad as miles. They were an impassable gulf hfitween me and the stretch of rock that seems so near. " What were my chances of escape ? Dared I hope there were any ? I was almost too wild with terror to think at all. Yet the brain seemed fevered with life in such moments "Should I be Btarved? Should I slide into the rushing tide from cold and exhaustion? Would sheer, unbearable terror fling me to death from my utter inability to endure the horror that possessed me ? " What could be done for me ? Was rescue possible? Could a boat be floated in any way down to me ? Even i if it could be guided to so small a point, could I dare to trust mypalf to it ? " I looked to this very rock on which we stand. Here, on this spot, I saw a throng of excited spectators. I was seen; and who eonld see a human being in such peril and not faintly share the ! terror that I felt ? " I could hear the calls of men to me I to have heart. I could catch cries to me that I should be saved. I could see women wild with pity. Ah! what oould their pity do for me ? Yet that, perhaps, ?v>T? lifn A nTrfl>ir>Or Wtt3 bUDIWVlU^ Ui UUJ Uiv. ? anything to make me forget the everrushing waters that unceasingly flashed ay my feet and disappeared. " Men were crowding the river bank. They were consulting, I could see, excitedly, debating what should be done. " There is a rush of some from the j ;rowd. Time passes, ages to me in my tgony. At last a boat comes, borne on ! ;he shoulders of boatmen at a run. They j ay it at the water's edge. There is a I ush of others with a coil of cable, not a j ope; rope they knew would be murdor. , "I see fhem boring the boat's sides | ?passing the cable tlirougk?knotting j t?nailing it securely. " The boat is towed along the still lide-water far up stream. The crowd ollow it. What will they do ? What lane being will venture his life to save ' nine ? Delay I delay ! They have j ttopped. Talk 1 chatter I will they ! lever act ? Oh, dear God, help him? )less him ! A canoe pulls out from the bore with the boat iu tow The canoe, is well as the boat, has a cable secured I o it, by which those on the bank regu- ! ate its drift down stream. How strong- ! y it struggles up and out into the full j lood ! Both cables are secured round i rees aud paid out by numbers. " Fighting up find across the tide,1 Irifting down it us the cables slack their ength, I watoh?with what hungering : jyes?the canoe steal inch by inch to j There it and the boat it holds are in a 1 ine with mv feet. The set of some cur- ! ent drifted me to the rock I stand on. | The boat is detached, straining on the :able, guided, too, by a rope from the learly stationary canoe. The current sets it toward me. It is bronght up by he strain of the cable ashore. Still it Irifts nearer and nearer. " There are moments in life that j swallow up all the rest of existence in >ur memories,, They haunt us awake. ! kYe dream them always. If I Bhould j je a Methulselah with centuries of jreath it seems to mo one thought vould always absorb all others, as Aaron's snake devoured Pharaoh's inagician's serpents. " I remember nothing else but that I iwoke in bed at Forsyth's. I was told ! [ hail been in a death agony with a arain fever. What mattered that ? I j elt the blessedness of peace, of safety, ' )f life wruug from death. " They dared not tell me it was real? i ;hat all I am now telling yon had been iwful reality?that I had dared as the Doat drifted abreast of me to risk a leap nto it?that, on the very edge and utter arink of death, the strength of scores inKnrA lmtl overnowered the rushincr Hood? that amid the shouts and tears md sobs, not of women only, but of bearded, iron-nerved men, I had been lifted senseless from the boat and borne to enjoy brain lever safely in the hotel yonder. " Do yon think I have told yon a lie or a believable truth?tbo bare fact? I know it is plain trnth, and yet I only half credit it myself. Well, stranger, dream or trntb, I never forget it; it's part of me always. " God save any one from ever trying, in fact or fancy, such an experience as mine! " Now you know why I don't see anything of beauty in Niagara. I leave that to be discovered by those who never came so near to being a real part of it ae I did." The Pbyalolocy of the Liver.

DESTROYING LOCUSTS. The Enormon* Number Killed In Two m Hours, u, The following is published iu the Je English papers, from a letter recently ns received from Ajmere, in Rajpootana, pi India: m " The young locusts, which have for p3 several weeks threatened us, are now a taking their marches preliminary to kj their wings having grown sufficiently ei for flight, and they are doing enormous cs damage. It is heartrending, after the m scarcity of Jast year, to see the fields full of fine, tall, healthy crops one day ei reduced by the next to a waste of bare m brown stalks. I was congratulating e: myself yesterday on the escape of our cl garden, but this morning I saw our ser- ^ vants and several other men in an m excited state, shouting and waving b: branches, trying to divert the hopping a masses past our boundary, and thus tl save the garden. Twenty-eight men b; have been at this work since quite early w this morning." ni The same writer continues a few days di later: "I had heard, but had doubted ic the truth of the story as to how they ti get rid of the army of young locusts in b Bikaneer. You know, I suppose, they p spring from eggs deposited by previous w flights of locusts, and when hatched I: hop along in dense masses while yet w unfit for flight, and in their progress ta lay waste all vegetation. I had heard p that in Bikaneer they dig trenches to re leeward of where these young broods di appear, and take measures to drive the ct locusts into them; and the sides being ti perpendicular, the creatures hop in but si cannot hop out, and earth is thrown in it upon them. I resolved to make an ex- g periment. I suggested to C , who h was lamenting the devastation going on ii around, that he should call out a party tl of men from his regiment and let us dig tl some trenches and drive the locusts into tl them, and so prove the truth or otherwise for ourselves. He promptly re- s< sponded, so we collected spades and or- w ganized fatigue parties, and set to work, p Some time was lost in getting matters si into training, but in about two hours a we succeeded in getting several trenches b dug, varying from twenty-five feet to P I nirfrv ffififc lone, one foot wide and about tl two feet deep. 8, " Then we sent1 Sepoys' (native sol- to diers) in a liorphoe direction from the f' trench about 1,000 feet away to wave 8' hands and drive the locusts on. They S came, and thickened as they approached, ^ one dense mass, hopping along until E they hopped into the trench. It waa a a curious sight to stand at the end and a' look at it all?a seething, hopping mass n inside the trench, while a regular short cataract came pouring down on them h until they were about two inches deep; n then the hopping ceased in the trench. n They had nothing hard to kick against, 8 but the influx continued till they were b half up the ditch, when wo quickly 81 threw in earth and buried them, and P then off to another trench and repeat P the whole operation. We continued n this for two hours. 1 " While at one of the trenches I gent for a finger-glass and immersed it in the mass of locusts, as one might dip it into water, then struck it off with a piece of cardboard, so I had it aa full as ' it would hold. When I got home I v weighed the glassful, then emptied it and weighed the glass, so I got the weight of the locusts; then 1 counted them out (566), then measured very ac- ? curately the solid contents of the glass, 11 by weighing the amount of water it held and computing from that; thus I had J space, number and weight for data. r " Knowing we had dng and filled 300 a. feet of trench one foot wide, filled to j] one foot deep, I calculated that the re- jj suit was: killed and buried seven and a ? half millions of locusts, weighing ten and a half tons, in two hours from the a time the trenches were ready; about four a hours altogether." ^ - ' p Horse and Locomotive Racing. b The following incident, noticed in t< Prof. Blackie's work on railroads, illus- r< trates in a striking manner the progress t< of events: ffi "In 1830, at the time when Mr. ii George Stephenson, the inventor, was w introducing his first locomotive in Eng- to land, the active mind of Peter Cooper ui was also busy solving a like problem in p' this country. He had constructed a lo- it comotive that was to outrun a horse, fi The Cooper engine could hardly be w called more than a working model, as w the whole weighed only a ton, and was v< of about one horse power. The boiler, hi about the size of a common kitchen w boiler, stood upright, and was fitted a( above the furnace, which occupied tl the lower section. The cylinder was c( only three and one-half inches in diameter; the wheels were moved by gearing, cc In order to get the requisite pressure of tc steam in so small a boiler, a sort of i? blower or bellows was provided, whioh C was kept in action by means of a drum B attached to one of the car wheels, over w which passed a cord which turned a ni pulley, which in turn worked the bel- tc lows 0 " When all was ready the trial and st test of the engine against the horse took C nWfl nn t.hfl Baltimore and Ohio rail- oi road, and resulted in a victory for the pi horse. The horse -won the race, not by d< fooling on ore side or a sell on the other, fr but by an accident?the slipping nf the n< cord that moved the bellows. tl " Mr. Cooper, who was his own en- tfc gine driver, struggled hard and man- ai fully to replace the cord without stop- ef ping his engine, but before he could do ir do the horse had won the race. There sc was, howover, enough done to prove ai that the locomotive could outrun the le horse, because the former was ahead of st the horse when the accident occurred." W a< The Seven Wise Men. sc Most people have heard of the w " Seven Wise Men of Greece," but very .. few know who they were or how they , came to be called so. The seven wise men of Greece are supposed to have ?! lived in the fifth century before Christ. Their names are Pittaciw, Bins, Solon, ? Thales, Chilou, Clenbulns and Periander. The reason of their beiug called wise is given differently bv various authors, but the most approved accounts | state that as some Coans were fishing, T certain strangers from Miletus bought w whatever should be in the nets without re seeing it. When the nets were brought ft in they were found to contain a gold a) tripod which Helen, as she sailed from g, Troy, is supposed to have thrown there. 0< A dispute arose between the fishermen h, and the strangers as to whom it be- jE longed, and, as they could not agree, sl they took it to the the temple of Apollo it and' consulted the priestess as to what h, should be done with it.

J vv A Triumph in Horse Surgery. The Buccess of Griffith G. Williams, a erchant of Utioa, in treating and savg a valued horse that had a broken g, is proved to be complete, and it iturally attracts much attention, and rovokes no little discussion among en who have to do with horses. The ractice from all time has been to regard broken-limbed horse as ruined, and to :11 it. In view of Mr. Williams' experilce, it may not be uninteresting to reill the circumstances and the treatent. The animal was a black mare that tBilv made her mile in three minutes, a odel of grace and beauty, and of snch ccellent disposition that women and lildren drove her with safety. Mr. Williams valued her at $1,000, not so inch for her speed as for her rare comination of good qualities. A twist in rut broke her right hind leg between le fetlock and the gambrel joint. The reak could not have been made in a orse place. The advico of the veteriiry surgeons that she be killed was isregarded. The mare was slang up i a blanket, and precisely the same eatment was given as is employed in roken limbs in men. The bones were laced carefully in position, the limb as bandaged, and then set in plaster. q six weeks the animal could bear her eight, and in seven weeks she was iken from the sling. At the broken art there was considerable enlargelent, and there were not wanting eviences of the limb's weakness. The ise was widely commented on at the me, and the prediction of those who iw the mare and of writers who joined i the discussion was unfavorable to the etting of any praotical service from er. The New York sporting journals 1 particular expressed the opinion that ie cost and bother must come to more lan the animal's worth, even though ie operation were successful. This was in March, 1876. The reprejntative of the Utica Morning Herald, ho has visited the mare within a week, ronounces her absolutely cured and semingly as sound in the injured limb s she was on the day before it was roken. The enlargement has entirely assed away, and the mare spins around ae driving park track or over the mooth Oneida county roads at her oldme three-minute gait as readily as beare. While moving at her fastest she Hows no sign of having been injured, he is the mother of a promising ' 1J. A LUIIIUJUI/ULIIUU UUXU tvrir uiuuvuo viu* Ixperienced horsemen pronounce her bsolutely as good as previous to the ccident. The total cost of the treat?ent was less than $100. Mr. Williams, who is something of a orse fancier, is strongly of opinion that ine out of ten similarly broken legs lay be reset and the horse saved by the imple process he used. Whether this e eo or not, it is plain that veterinary argeons cannot longer ridioule his exeriment; and it is altogether quite ossible that he has opened to them a ew door for Btudy and practice.? \Tcw York Sun. A Queer Story. Some months ago a man who had beome pretty well-known on the east side s a German adventurer of high family, ut eccentric habits, jflied of a fever in ae insane asylum at wara s lsiana. ue ^as known as Christian Minck and, acirding to his own statement, his father ras of noble family and was attached to lie conrt of Wurtemburg as private seoBtary to the king. The knowledge of bis fact led a Seventh street undertaker, saac Smith, to take the body and at5mpt to preserve it on speculation, in ae hope that the family would receive ; and pay all expenses. He wrote to termany, and, in the meantime, transjrred the corpse to Ferdinand Brown, nother undertaker, at Second street ad Avenue A. Mr. Brown interested [iddleton & Warner, the allekton prorietors, in the case, and they coated the ody with their preparation, also hoping > be ultimately paid. The. first reply iceived from Germany was unsatisfao>ry, and alluded to the fact that the tmily had once been deceived regardlg the son and would not again forard money. Thereupon the body was iken to the ^iorgue and has since been Bed as a specimen of the work accomlished by the patent. The body was l a semi-putrid condition when the rst coating was given it during the hot eather of July 3d, and the specimen, hich was regarded as an unusually faorable advertisement, was shown to andredB. The men who had kept it ere, therefore, surprised Home weeks jo by the newspaper announcement tat Herr Minck was on his way to this mntry to recover the remains. An injstigation, made through the German jnsul's office, and by other means, led ? a somewhat sensational result. The isane dead man, instead of having been hristian Minck, was identified as Otto Merger, Jr., and his story of his family as untrue, though it bore, except in xmes and localities, a close resemblance ?the truth. The truth was brought at by two letters which Mr. Brown ;nt to Mr. Berger, who occupies at n liiir? flm fowilw lino 111 UC n JLLXgu ^/uQiuxvu iu vuu inrni xj I the grand duke of Baden, and who roves to have been the father of the jad man. The younger Otto ran away om home for some unknown cause, ?arly nine years ago, and had learned ie trade of an upholsterer. He was in ie receipt, however, of a liberal allowice from home, and having a small state left by his mother, he worked regularly or not at all. His habits >on gained for him the titles of "crazy " id "the crazy upholsterer." Not the ast singular thing connected with the ory is the letter received yerterday, by [r. Brown, from the elder Berger, who jknowledges the body as that of his >n, but refused to have anything to do ith it. The remains will now be kept for exibition, as they seem to bo of no use i any one except those who have taken ire of them, and the city will not be at ie expense of burying what is now only hardened, brown and mummy-like >rm.?New York Graphic.
