MONTGOMERY HOUSE,
Five Mile River, Fair-field Co., Conn.
I HAVE recently leased for a term of years a new
and commodious Hotel, 2):: miles from Norwalk
and 5 miles from Stamford, (a new station, - “Row“.
ton,” has just been opened within M mile of the Hop
tel). The House has been furnished with new furni.
ture throughout. It is located on the banks of Five
Mile River, with a frontage of 150 feet. House 50x45
feet, three stories and basement. It has a command-
- ing view of Long Island Sound, and in close roximl-
ti to a desirable beach forbathin '. By the ew York
New Haven Railroadit is reae ed in from 1% to 2
hours. There are also plying constantly between N.
Y. City and Norwalk, two steamers, one leaving every
day, morning and evening, also, a sloop from the Ho-
tel once a week. thus affording a varlet of conveyan-
ces to and from the city. Within hf o a mile of the
Hotel are two churches, as well as numerous residences
of highly respectable families, forming a settlement
at once agreeable and delightful to the sojourner. My
experience as a public 0 terer, both South and East, is
that of acknowelcdge ability to keep a first-class
House. There are numerous drives in this neighbor-
hood _that are unsurpassed; those'who appreciate
aquatic sports, will find the boating and fishing unc-
qnuled. The terms of board are accommodating, and
vary according to rooms. For further particulars en-

HARRY’S HORSE.
The baby lies in her mother’s arms,
Quiet and pale and thin;
But the little head is once more raised
As Harry comes bounding in,
A wonden horse in his band he holds,
Dark gray, with a long black mane;
And an eager, longing look lights up
' The pale little face again. '
“No, baby dear, I will hold it. clpse,
But I cannot give it you: ‘
I’m afraid you would let it fall, amt break
My horse, so pretty and new."
But the pale little eager face still pleads,
Outstrctched is'thc small hand still:
He stands for a moment, then holds it out—
“I'll loud it, baby, I will i"
The ‘day is past, and he finds it again
Where the baby had thrown it aside;
Her coral red, with its silver hells,
Still fast to the bridle tied.
There’s a touch of paint off the bright green stick,
And a chip 011' the horse’s car; '
But oh! not that to the boy’s blue eye
Brings the quickly gathering fear!
7 And while Hurry lives he will still be glad
That he lent her his horse that day;
For the baby has gone where neveragain
Can she ask with his toys to play.

‘At seven p. m. we arrived at Cheyenne, a
city six months old, with several hundred
buildings, five or six thousand inhabitants,
noted for the rapidity of its growth,its wick-
cdncss, &c. Our party obtained accommo-
dations at the Ford House,a two story frame
building, where we fared well, had comfort-
able rooms, and all the conveniences we
could reasonably expect, for which we paid
at the rate offoui dollars and fifty cents per
day. Herc,.at the base of the mountains,
Where wild game is supposed to be plenty,
we all hoped to find something besidesbe e
stake, but when some of us called for buffalo
steak, brui-n cutlets, &c., the waiter laughed
and compromised the matter by bringing
broiled venison and beef steaks. At the Hotel
we met Mr. J. B.'Bcard, (sou ochacOn Beard
ofDanbury, )who is a contractor on the Road.
He resides at Council Bluffs, Iowa, but was
here looking out for the business of his con-
tract. After supper he kindly ecorted us
around to view the city and see the sights.
Cheyenne is well started and will undoubt-
edly be a permanent town, although already
a, large number of its former population,
chiefly gamblers and prostitutes, have gone
west to ply their avocations and swéll the
growth of Lar'ainie. These vampires follow
the construction trains, and fast as the “ter-
minus” changes thcy change with it. There
is no clviliaw here and they have their own
way and do pretty much as they please.
The location of Cheyenne, at the base of
the mountains, is in its favor; it is the end of
a Division of the Road, and the Company
will necessarily be obliged to maintain large
Works here; and it will probably be the
junction of a branch road to Denver, which
is now being constructed; so that it has fair
prospects of becoming a city of some impor-
tance. The city can be “ done” in ten min-
utes, there being no public buildings, no ar-
chitectural display visible anywhere, the
buildings are all of wood one or two stories.
high, slightly constructed and apparently
ready for a “ move ” at any time. The
“ sights” require more time. The city being
so new there are no permanent homes, and
the entire population at pfesent is necessarily
floating. There is considerable legitimate
business done in the place, but as everything
is merely experimental and speculative, the
merchants and others are of com-so not
settled, and in a new, wild country with
such a population, dissipation is of course
the order of the night. Drinking Saloons,
gambling hells, (lance halls, theatres,billiard
rooms, &c., crowd each other, and are the
only places that do any business or are of
any interest whatever. They are all open
on the public streets, and are made as con-
spicuous as posible. The largest and finest
room in town is a flourishing gamblingbcll,
filled with tables where all manncrofgames
of chance are played; money in large quan-
tities, is freely displayed; the bar is well
patronized, and the large room is filled with
a rough lo'oking set of men partaking in or
watching the various games ;- in one corner
Of the room is an old piano at which a paint-
ed, worn-out_ looking woman presides and
sings, to whose syren notes no one seems to
listen, while a man in the opposite corner
presiding over a game of “Keno”. is never
without auditors, and victims; in an adjoin-
ing room is an apparently well kept Billiard
Saloon. In this hell disputes and fights of-
ten occur, and occasionally men are shot or
stabbed. The city has been somewhat puri-
fied by the exodus of villains, and the action
of a powerful vigilance committee which
hanged three men in the public street a few
months since, and murders, fights, &c., are
now of not such frequent occurrence. Other
hells abound in the city, and are always in
the most prominent locations and best build-
ings. Sandwiched in with these are Dance
Halls,-——anothcr flourishingr institution of the
place. They are all alike and conducted on
the same plan. How any man can become
so debascd'as to derive any amusement from
these places is a wonder. The “business”
however, is evidently a paying one. In
these Hulls the Whole ground floor is used
as a dancing room. The stock in trade con-
sists of four or five girls, a fiddle, and the
bar. The Manager calls for partners; with
little delay four young fellows, generally al-
ready “pretty wcli set 1111,” come forward,
and a plain cotillon is danced as dccorously
as at public picnics east; at the end of each
dance the fellows take their partners up to
the bar and treat them to what liquor they
choose to call for, and then pay the manager
one dollar—too much for the whistle, as
Poor Richard would say. None but square
dances are attempted; they are ‘dull, unex-
citing, and always the same thing over; the
girls are universally-plain, coarse, unattrac-
tive, and though bold, brazen faced, still act
'quietly, and in a certain sense decently,'and
dress modestly and plainly without even
any attempt at “style ;” the spectators are
numerous, but male dances, we were glad to
see were comparatively scarce. These pla—
ces abound all over the city, but will proba-
bly soon thin out. Already some of the rooms
were, at times, out ofcustomers entirely. A
decent man feels decidedly uncomfortable
in any of these places, the novelty of sight
seeing soon wears off, and he breathcs‘frcr
and feels safer soon as he gets into the Open
air again. ‘
Near the depot is the location of Goo.
Francis Train’s hotel that he made such a
fuss about. The stone foundation has been
completed, and that is the end of the grand
hotel, at least until other parties can he found
to finish it. Train is an unmitigated hum-
bug. ‘ , I
In the city we met young Denny Lane, a
Norwalk boy who has strayed out here seek-
ing his fortune. He had been to Texas and
worked his we I through the western
wilds, encounteringfiuny adventures, to this
place, where he is working at his trade, and
doing exceedingly well. _
Next morning we left at 9 ’clock for the
terminus of the rbad. The country around
Cheyenne is undulating, and the soil good,
but as you advance it becomes rocky :fixd
hilly. The gradc to the summit is about 85
feet to the mile. On this morningr the day
was bright, the atmosphere clear, and we had
tine views of the snow clad mountains in the
distance, and the Black Hills close by.
Thesc‘flills are compqscd largely of a dark,
reddish rock formatiOn, covered with stunt-
ed, shaggy pine trees, and are not .vcry inr
viting to the eye. Thirty five miles from
Cheyenne we reach “The Summit,” the high-
est point on the line of the Road. The sta-
tion is on a level plateau, and there is not
much to be seen, the scenery in many other
places beingmore grand and beautiful. The
sea, but the land all around, within sight, is
just. as high or higher, so that one does not
appreciate the “elevation,” only by the puri-
ty and lightness Of the air. Again, we ar-
rive at this elevation having been scarcely
conscious of ascending; the elevation at
Omaha. is 967 feet, on the start, and 6,062 at
Cheyenne, leaving only 2,200 feet to be over—
come in thirty-five miles. For several miles
here the road bed is at present very rough,
and curves around rocky points as best it
can to get over the summit. It is of course
generally understood that this “summit” is
not the summit of the Rocky Mountains,
some peaks Of which range, tower 5,000 feet.
above, but the summit of the Laramie Minor
Black Hills, and the highest point on tbcline
of the Road, being 700 feet higher than .
point reached by the Road in the Rocky or
Sierra Nevada Mts.
Four miles from the summit we crossed
Dale Creek .Canon by a bridge 460 ft. long,
built: upon nine piers, the highest of which is
125 feet. This, it is claimcd,is the most ex-
pen’vc bridge on the route. It; is appar-
ently strongly built, and the scene from the
top is grand and beautiful. Seventccnmiics
further on the train stopped at Fort Saun-
ders, quite a large Fort and apparently well
garrisoncd. Here Judge Carter and his in-
teresting family left us to take carriages'for
Fort Bridger—distant about 300 miles. Only
think of that ride across the plains and over
the mountains! Next spring they can prob—
ably travel ,thc entire distance in the cars-
Another five miles and we reached Laramie
station, the present terminus of the road.
This is another mushroom cit'y, two weeks
old, growing rapidly, but in a months time
there may not be a shanty left. Morally, the
place is probably worse even than Cheyenne;
the mostimposing edifice is a large two-story
frame building—the “Diana” gambling hell,
and of course throughout the place there are
plenty of inducements offered the fool to
partwith his money. SomeOnicrchants use
tents for stores, and a Pullman Sleeping Car
is kept here by the company, on a side track,
for the accommodation of respectable per-
sons who may 'stay over night. Here the
overlandfsmges of Wells, Fargo d7 00., con«
nect with the Road for Salt Lake, Califor—
nia, &c. “’0 witnessed the departure of the
mail for California. The stage was full,
(nine passengers,) and every available space
Was crammed with mail bags and parcels
tied on. The passengers were cramped up
and the driver had a totlish seat on top. The
stage was drawn by six horses; passengers
were all armed. ‘ Formerly these stages I‘illL
to the Missouri over the old Pony Express
route, whichzruns through Platteyaileysouth
of the river, in sight of the Railroad .track.
Now they connect with the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific. The track layers were
several miles ahead, putting down truck at
the unpreccdcntcdly rapid rate of three miles
per day, and crowding close on to the con-
tractors who grade the ROad. We foun’d we
could not get to the track layers without
staying over another day, and putting the
ofllccrs to lunch trouble to furnish transpor-
tation, so the party voted to return. ,
We reached Cheyenne that cveuing,and ief t
for Omaha at 6.30 nextmorning. , Theieturn
ride was tiresome, there beingno new scenes
to gladdcn the eye and relieve the montomy
Of the plains. Occasionally we would meet
emigrant trains plodding slowly along west-
ward; pass a cavalry regiment camp; see
several horsemen and once in a while a lone
man on the plains “ out of sight of land" as
it seemed, for it is hard to get rid of the im-
pression that you are at sea; stop at stations
and get out to walk around to rest yourself
and gatherbeautiful boquets of prairie flow—
crs,scveral varieties of which grow in pr ofu-
sion all along the track; watch the antelopes
which Occasionally start up, som times alone
and again as manyns six or eight Ogcthcr, in
their mud efforts to outrun the train, and
which are shot at from‘ the car Windows by
the passengers, as are also the cunning lit—
tle prairie dogs whose holes line the- tra.
thick as fleas, and each one of which is
jointly occupied by a. dog, owl and snake ;
adobe breastwOrks and huts probably built
as protection against; the indians, months or
years ago, and the telegraph line and adobe
stations on the old stage road, and the
boundless expanse Of pinins comprise the
onlytobjccts of interest, but the social travel-
ler will find much to amuse in the appear—
ance and conversation of the passengers,
many of whom have lived on the plains for
years, and are full of incident and story. In
our sleeping car was the famous Jack Mor—
row andfi. companion named Brown, on
their way to Omaha on business. Jack has
lived on the plains since 1849, and claims
that. he can control more indians than any
man on the frontier ; in addition to his
ranche he is now a. heavy contractor on the
Road, is evidently highly prosperous and
proud of his powcr'and influence. He post
ed as upon his affairs, told stories of his ex-
perience in the wilds, cracked jokes, and in-
terested the whole party.’ He drank freely of
the strongest liquor he could find, without
any apparent bad effect, but admitted that
after the transaction of his business at Oma-
110,110 was bound to indulge in the “tallest
kind of a drunk.” - When drunk he spends
money freely, so he and his friendlmvc latc-
ly adopted the shrewd policy of only one.
getting drunk at a time, the other keeping
sober to protect his mate from the sharpers.

“THEY HAVE ERRED' THROUGH WINE.”—
“See that bloated and rugged wretch playing
a violin at the door of the dram~shop. Drunk—
ard is stamped on his high forehead. IIis
garments are thin and worn and soiled. The
passers by now and then drop him a penny.
He is jccred at by the hangers on, and the
common customers of the grog-shop treat
him with contempt. Yet, strange to tell, that
man was once a ininistcrof the gospel. Years
ago he was beloved by an admiring congre- -
gation; and popular through all the region.
But he forgot that wine was a mocker and
strong drink raging. He drank more and
more till he was degraded from the ministry.
Then faster and faster he went down, till he,
at the door of the grog—shop, would fiddle
and beg for his dram. [Little did he heed the
warning. At the last it biteth like a ser-
pent. Little did he think that he would die
in a checrless garret, crying with his last
breath for drink. Yet so it was. Look not
thou upon. the wine while it is red,
when it giveth its color in the cup, when it
movcth itself aright."

“The Corners” In The Convention.
Nasby gives a graphic-account of tin-
nomination ofdclcgatcs to the“ New Yorl;
convention. They worked at it a week at
the Cross Roads, but nobody would go.
Finally they made a selection, under the fol»
lowing circumstances:
On the eighth day, at about ten in the mom»
. ini.',Dcckin Pogram’s youngest boy,a fair
haired lad of fourteen summers, who resem-
bles the dcckin to a degree quite coinplimcn-
tary to his mother, came in with the N00
York Day Book, which the deekin takes but
never reeds. The dcckin tost is over to Bas—
com, who opened it and red a minnct, when
his face changed instantly. “Hell!” scd he
to himself, and then he arose:
“Mr. Checrman,” scd he,“ to end this on-
profitablc session, I wud say that I have re-
considered my determination. I will go to
N 00 York i”
The convcnshen was thunder struck.
Whatdid it mean? The dcekin seized the
paper, and glanoin over its columns, red
painfully a minnct , and scd he was snppris-
ed at Mr. Bascom's ashoorcncc. “I shell be
a. delegate myself,” sed he. _
By this time McPclter red it, and I got it
and red this paragraf;
“Let the western dhnocrisy beware. They
must cum on the 4th prepared to cnkounter
bribery and corrupsbcn. Belmont and the
Wall street clique hev raised $1,600,000 to be
yoosed in the purcimcc of delegates to defect
Pcndlcton.” ' ' '
The deekiu pertcstcd agin Buscom’s goin.
“You kant be spared !" shrickcd 110. “Who
will run the biznis in yoor absensc? Is thcr
a man in the Corners yoo dare trust insied
yoor bar a niinnct? No, I will go.”
“Not so," slirickcd McPclter, “I will go oz
delegate. I have borne the heat and burden
uv the day—I wuz with Forrest, and now
ther is a. chance in make suthin—that is, now
that ther is aposishion uv profL-witch iz to
say honor, I want it.”
Issaker Gavitt, witha face pole with dis-
appointment, that he hadn’t taken it when
it wuz offered him, swore thet ef the Gavitt
\
family wuz to be overlooked why the sooner
dcmocrisy wuz buried the better.
Some where in the course nv my readin,I
cum across an account uv the trouble thctwaz
pcrdoost in a. mythological heaven by some
cuss who lost in a golden apple, labeled “to
the fairest," or words to that. effeck. The un-
nouncement thet Belmont bed a million and
a half to delegates wuz the golden apple wicb.
set us in uproar. Every cuss in the conven-
tion wanted to be delegate immcjitly, and
the result wvuz, the cutireJJilin cum to blows.

his fingers clutched in the necktie uv the ven-

Composition on Corns.
The Dubuquc Times publishes the follow-
ing as a boy’s composition oil corus: Corns
are Of two kin'ds, vcgctu and animal.
Vegetable corns grow in rows, and animal
corus grow on toes. There are scveralkinds '
of‘cOrns; there is unicorn, capricorn, corn-
dodgcrs, field-corn, and'toc-corn, which is the
corn you feel most. It is said, Ibelicv'c, that
gophers like corn,but persons having corns
do not like to“go far” if they can help it.
Corns have kernels, and many coloncls have
corms. Vegetable corn grows on cars, but
animal corns grows on the feet at the other
end offlhc body. Another kind of corn is
achrn, these grow on oaks, but. there is no
hoax about the corn. The acorn is a corn
with an indefinite article, but the tOé-cm'n is a
very definite article indeed. Try it and see.
Manya man,whcn he has a. corn wishes it
was an acorn, of any other kind of corn.
Folks thathave corns sometimes send forthe
doctor, and if the doctor himself is corned,
he wont probably do so well as if he wasn’t.
The dOctor says that. corns are produced by
tight boots or shoes, which is probably the
reason why, when a man is tight, they say
he is corned. If the farmer manages well, he
can get a good deal or corn on one acre, but
I know of a farmer that has one corn that
makes the biggest acher on his farm. The
bigger crop of vegetable com a man raises
the better he likes it but the bigger crop of
animal corn he raises the better he don’t
like it. Another kind of corn is com dodger.
The way it is made is very simple, and is
made as follows, (that is if you want to know).
You go along a street and meet illllflll that
you know has cams and is a rough character,
then you step on the too that has the corn on
it, and see if you wont have occasion to
dodge. In that way you Will find out what
a corn-dodger is.
