The Governor General and Princess at Niagara Falis.
Directory,
S. =
The exploration of Niagara Falls, which the Marquis and the Princess Louise have just concluded, ought to satisfy all who take an interest in these distinguished per- sonages that neither of them is lacking in personal courage and physical endurance. The New York WHerald’s correspondent writes of the incidents of the 23rd inst. :—
On reaching the Canadian side, the sleighs again came into requisition, and the party proceeded at a rapid gait up and through the village of Clifton to the back road running straight for the falls. The snow on the back road being much drifted, it was full of pitch-holes, and the sleighs jumped and bounded over them ata furious gait, much to the amusement of the Prin- cess, who highly enjoyed the thumping and rolling of the sleigh. The object of the fast drive was Mr. Isaacs, who, while at the rapids, was, as usual, on the constant lookout for the comfort of the party and anxious to show them interesting points to the best advantage. Observing a change in the wind, his view was to make a beld rush for the Table Rock, so that the party might get the view from beneath the great Horseshoe Falls without being interfered with by the spray, and he most successfully made it.. Arriving at the Table Rock House, the party donned stout iron creep- ers, furnished by Mr. Davis, and descended the spiral stairwey to the fearful chasm be- low, making the descent in five minutes. Reaching the bottom, they pushed boldly forward, and here, turning her face to the awe-inspiring sight, Her Royal Highness gave vent to an expsession of delight, say- ing, ‘* Don’t speak; let me drink in the whole scene.”’
The scene here was really very beautiful, there being§ nillions of the most picturesque icicles, large and small, in all imaginable shapes, and mountains of ice piled up in every direction. The party proceeded some distance, when Mr. Isaacs remarked that to proceed further was dangerous, but the view being grander at this point, Her Royal Highness, nothing daunted, said ‘‘Push on, I will follow ; why not view sucha grand scene thoroughly?” So on they went, wending their way through tremendous icicles, climbing with great effort and difii- culty the rough bowlders of ice till the ex- treme point was reached. Here Her Royal Highness turned and beckoned to His Ex- c2llency and suite to follow, expressing by signs that the sight was grand. They fol lowed and were well repaid, for it is from here that Niagara in winter has to be seen to be fully appreciated, Pen cannot begin to describe the scene. His Excellency ex- pressed himself by saying that it was far beyond his expectation, and Her Royal Highness the Princess exclaimed, “‘I never have nor never shall see such a grand sight again. WhatI should have missed had J not seen it.” The wind was blowing from the north-west, taking the spray away from the party and consequently giving them an unobstructed view. The whole party were loud in their praises and gave vent ts ex- clamations of delight, remarking that they were well repaid for their perilous journey.

1879. NO. 513,
‘* Courier,” writes: ‘Her Royal High- ness, the Princess Louise, stood alone upon the very summit of the mound. She is of medium height, has an exceedingly petite figure and is very attractive. Uer hair is rich brown and her eyes are liquid blue. She bears a strong resemblance to her Royal Mother, Queen Victoria, and can be recog- nized by persons who look upon her even for the first time. Her digmfied bearing and majestic mien betoken her royal birth, and wherever she appeared volumes oi honest praise were showered upon her. Of course, these complimentary remarks were unheard by the Princess, but the pleasant welcome which she was awarded everywhere did not pass unnoticed by her, Her simple manner conquered everybody, and her first visit to the United States was certainly an auspicious one. Her dress was as simple as her personal bearing. She wore ashort walking suit made of black silk, and wore no ornaments except mag- nificent pearls in her ears. She is in half mourning, her dress trimmed with crape. She also wore a costly sealskin sacque,lined with plucked ottor, a magnificent garment. Over this she wore a soft Red-River robe or ulster, which was banded upon either arm with a broad band of crape. Upon her back was a hood or chapeau, which, how- ever, was not worn upon the head on this oceasion. Upon her head she wore a jaunty sealskin cap and a white nubia was careless- y thrown around her neck. Her hands were incased in fur-lined buckskin gloves, while her wrists were protected with a heavy pair of soft weollen mits. She wore heavy English walking boots protected by English Arctic overshoes. Her size is num- ber three and her foot is very pretty. Her step is elastic and firm, and she knows how to use her feet to the the best possible ad- vantage. Her Royal Highness is thirty- two years of age.

Sending Silver in Letters.
Many persons are in the habit of sending silver in letters to the United States. The following extract from the Postal Law will show the folly of such a course :—
‘*No letter containing gold or silver money, jewels or precious articles, or any- thing liable to customs duties, can be sent, registered or unregistered, to any place
beyond the limits of the Dominion of Can- ada.”’

The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.
