CHANGES IN THE CONFORMATION OF THB FALLS—OTHER CHANGES NOT QUITE AS RADI- CAL BUT OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO VISIT- ORS—A DEATH BLOW TO EXTORTION—THE FALLS REDEEMING ITSEL¥—PROSPECTS FOR THE SEASON. CLirTON Housm, NraGaRa fs dune 13, 1875, Everything indicates an unusuaily large oum- ber of visitors at Niagara this season. Already tue arrivals are greatly in excess of those at Sara- toga, Long Branch or Cape May. Ofcourse the late spring bas had an uusfavorable effect on our watering places, but with the advance of the sum- Mer solstice and the prospect of a counterbalanc- ing protracced heated term to make up for the continuously cool weather of the past few weeks, there {s a fair show of {all hotels and 4 season of unwonted gayety and briliancy. One thing, moreover, tnat is going to help Niagara greatly, or at least ought to, is the great improvement in the hoteis since last season, the putting under Proper curb the host of avaricious and unscrupu- lous hackmen, who have heretofore made every one coming here the victim of their merciless ex- tortions, and the reduced prices of the dealers in curiosities, whose audacity in tne way of exorbi- tamt charges has been only second to the bola effrontery of the hackmen, and which two classes together, in their impositions upon visitors, have given this place a reputation, the odious brand of which it will take a long time vo efface, THE OLD, OLD sTORY. Not much can be written of Niagara Falls that isnew, The deep Giapason of ics thundering roar still fils the air, Ics veil of mist rises and falls and dissolves in beautiful spray—veautiiul, poeti- cally 80, when lit up with rainbow tints under the noonday sun; but commonplace, exceedingly so, 4s shirt collar and bosom and wristband and the delicate tracery of feminine laces and all the other wonderful paraphernalia of femaie appareling be- come limp and lustreless and lugubriously lach- rymose, The earth still tremoies before its mighty power—a trembling that to the highly wrought, sensitive soulis grandly aw/ul, but to the tired-out and nervous, with strong anti-som- nolent tendencies, a fearful nutsance in its inces: gant, noisy shaking of creaking blinds and win- dow sasres, but, looked at from any point of view, whether from eyes young and bright and flashing with yoatnful enthusiasm or dimmed by overwork or age, there is that overwhelming sense of grandeur in the presence of this mighty wateria!l—that feeling of wonder and adoration— that makes the falis an object of unceasing inter- est. Of course, there are some drawback: While to many there 18 almost an irresistible impulse to cast one’s self over the mighty precipice, a feeling, indeed, that is acutely pain- ful at times when one realises that he is not yet quite an angel, endowed with winged power, Othe! quite as equally apt to forget that they are mortal, and in allowing themselves co get drenched to the skin through too long Lingering in the spray pave the way for lumbago, neuraigia or rheumatism, the three mighty ills to which man- kind has fallen heir through the untimely impra- dence of Adam in the matter of clothing. The feverish unrest of our American haste leads to tn- discretion in this matter, Tke bride in a low- necked dress forgets that her shoulders and neck need care, and does not guard hersel! suficiently against sowing the seeds of insidious consumption, Visitors, after their teurs of observation, should be carejul to divest themselves of their damp cloth- ing. In fact acaution in this respeet should be ingerted in the guide books, or much better, a rigid rule laid down, for somehow when people go to watering plac nd often for the sole parpose of reeuperating their health, they seem to disregard all its primary laws, Making excuse for this di- gression, which really, however, is called for, itis proper to note some oi the CHANGES AT THE PALLS. Asis well known, tke theory is that gradually through the long lapse of centuries tue tall has oy w degrees worked its Way irom the opening of the chasm several miles below. If this theory ve correct, the upward progress of the fall has been exceedingly siow, for the old- est inRabitant 18 able to indicate but Careful ovservers, however, detect change im tie conior- mation of the Horseshoe Fail, The incessant rush of the mighty cataract bas perceptibiy deepened the indenture near the American side, 80 that its shape is quite diferent from what it was a year ago. The great bulk of the water flows over this fuil and it is quite natural that the wearing away of the edge suouid be more rapid and percepriole here than at other points. ‘the American Fall oes Not show as Straight a line heretofore, proving very clearly that time Working ita cvanges here also. that the fall will Buffalo; but the po: very likely to disturb t equanimity of tue hotel keepers or cause any diminution in the ue of real estate, There {8 one positive cn that old tourists particularly notice, aod that is the absence of the old lighthouse. No vestige of it remains, and it is @ matter of general surprise, considering the flue view optained from 1t3 Summit, that @ Hew 4nd more massive and substantial stracture is not erected in iis place. Of course the necessity of such a tower, as lar as sightseeing 18 concerned, ts obviated to some ex- tent through the elevators enabiing visitors to view tue Falls frum the Suspension Bridge towers; Some go so far a3 to assert | but then the poetic effect is vastly different, for in | of the awiul chasm THE BLESSING OF THE NEW BELLIS FOR THE he ob- | served, that “fubal-cain was a hammerer and | artifieer in every work of brass and iron ;’’ do not know that the ancients used bells, Among the Jews tie solemn fesitvais were announced to the people with metal trumpets, and tne year of et we | | Pali, the American rapids and the uppe: jJamlee was ushered in by the blasts of trumpets | made of rams’ Doras, The bell, however, is | ‘A PECULIARLY CHRISTIAN INVENTION.
