NIAGARA FALLS. The contrast between the life, gaiety, ant cheerfulness of Saratoga and the ponderous solemnity of Niagara Falls is great. Not- withstanding the eternal roar of the falis, Niagara i8 tne quietest place in the ¢ sary The mejestic anthem Of nature seems not ouly to deaden the ear to all minor sounds, but tomake gay talk and the frivolities of life app: #rverr bly ont of place. Was anyone ever heard to laugh here, or to talk ex cept in mobosy lables? It seem out of the giestion to Imagine these great Lotels ever filed with a gay crowd of amusement seekers. Who could conceive of a hop or ball here, or pao- ple dancing to the music of a ‘string band” the presence of that solemn, all-pervading ase? Of course, It is easy to see that Niagara can ver undertake lo compete with Sara. toga #8 @ pleasure resort; bul the contrast is So great b tween the gay, crowded streets of the o1 e village, and the solitary quiet of the other, that the enquiry rises why there is such a diserepancy in the cumber of visitors to the two places, and why the greatest won- der of nature in’ the worid 1s parently 50 neglectet. It cannot be the fault of the hotels. The spacious International hotel, for in stance, with an excellent table aud hand- somely-furnished rooms overlooking the Tapid+ and the great cataract, bas reiuced its prices to atleast adollar less per day than those prevailing at Saratoga. It can no longer be charged to the account of the extor- tenate hackmen. They are annoying now, only from their numbers and their pertina! cious efforts to uuderbid one another and cure custom. It was my experiencs th carriage could be hired by the hour, day or Job, for less than half what would be the price in Washington. THE REAL DRAWBACK AT KIAGARA, But there is 4 substaatial reason why tour- ists give Niagara the go by, or stop there for the briefest time possible. There is not a pointon the American side from which a tol- erable view of the failacan be obtained that bas not been fenced tn by the owners or les- sees of the grounds. who charge exorbitant rates of admission. The aggregate amount of these tolls is so great us tomake it loo beavy a drain upon the purse of the average | tourist to allow @ leisurely visit to the place, aud in the caseofa family par. y, Lace 91 foots up something enormous.

AS there is nothing of tnterest in the yiliage aside from these points, where there is au ex- erbitant fee for admission, it will be se that few visitsor care to, or can afford, make it an abiding place for the seasou. WHAT TO DO WITH IT. This fence-monopoly, by which the people are sbut out from the view of this marvel of nature, is offensive to every American, but what is be done about it? The owners of the property bave undoubted right to utilizs it as asource of income. It is owned in six- teenths, by minors, orphans, aud widows, and with some, ifnot all the heirs, their only source of income. The danger is that they may avail themselves of their further Tight to sell the falls as a water privilege, ta which event the whole ground and all its ap- id be coverel with mil the wouk Then, Sense the one ey le are = neering for the on roperty to throw & rail bridge over iby way of Goat ud in @ way to frightfully disfigure The oniy way to rescue the great cataract would cay te be for the Porters for #120 ou @ swarap land warrant, it would seem to be iis duty now to remedy this great blunder by repurchasing it in behals of the American pacple.
