utter brokenness of spirit insisted that our
party should ride and pay him just what Wt
were a mind! We fi-ankly ever, we never
expected to see this day at Niagara—it was
only that we much preferred to walk at the
same price, that we could muster courage
to reject the driver’s importunities. Ever
: that august personage the Hotel Clerk, looks
up at you on your arrival and actually mani-
fests some slight interest inthe disposition or
your luggage. We well remember him on
our first visit to the falls, when we had to
approach him in his fortified entrenchmenl
with as much caution and art as an assault-
ing general would ,sn ambushed battery.
Niagara has improved and we advise all
who desire to see the most wonderful exhi-
bition of human art and divine powers, to
' go there this season. We were the victim o:
misplaced confidence but cum during our
stay, and that was in our effort to get sway,
and was owing doubtless to the altered state
of the Ho e1 Clerk aforesaid. He had in-
formed us that the Westward bound trail
for Bufi'alo, left on Bufialo time; whereas
the cars left on New York time, and we
found ourselves left, to the evident delight of
Mr Clerk, to the disappointment of our par-
ty, and serious wounding of our traveler’:
pride, as it was the first instance of the sort
in our whole life. Not to be thus outwitted
we took carriage and a pair of fleet horses
and rode up the river to. Tonawonda, four-
tecn' miles, and overtook the train, with three
minutes to spare, having had a most exhil-
eratiug ride with our hopes and jclitj
crowned by success.
Arrived at Buffalo, we took the cars for
Cleveland, where, in that umbrageous For-
est City ofIthe West, we spent Saturday and
Sunday in visiting the friends of other days.
'and in recuperation. We passed Ashtab 1!.-
in .the night watches else should have sum-
moned our old friend and tutor, J as. Refl-
and family to a telegraphic visit at the Dr
pot—as when we passed by to the Chicago
Convention of ’68. At Cleveland we met a
number of COnuecticut people, Mr. and Mrs.
Wm.H. Benedict of South Norwalk, being
there though we did not chance to men
, them. We did stumble upon our venerable,
but never old, and waggieh friend Colonel
Kingsbnry of Gen. Ferry’s Fifth Connects-
cut Volunteers, and a member of our 185:2
Connecticut House of Representatives. He
had been away up in the Pembina or Red
River district and was returning with a little
niece, a most pleasant and winning child of ‘
some twelve or thirteen winters, we should
say, in view of the fact that her father’s
house has but two other houses between and
the North Pole. The Colonel always did
have'experiences. He had them going to
New York on Bishop’s dead-head Legisla-
tive eirsion, and again at the State Prison
Banquet given by the prisoners to the men:-
bers of our Legislature. The Colontl
staid away on that occasion, because, as
he said, he had called upbn those felIOWS
once and they hadn’t returned his visit, and
he would have them know he had some self-
'respect left if he was a' member of' the Leg-
islature.~ On this occasion his feelings were
outraged in the following manner: On en-
tering the steamer at Superior he met an old
friend who desired to know what brought
him to that out of the way place i Having
the little Miss with him, he replied he was
hound East with his new wife.
being overheard by two bystanders, one in-
~ stantly remarked, “ What a d— old fool
that must be to marry that child !” “ Yes,”
said the other, “and the child’s mother must
have been a bigger dance to let her daugh-
ter have such a played-out old back as he
is!” The lacer‘atcd feelings of the Colonel
were anodyned a little ' by the concluding
.s—‘L‘Pfiksfu Well, the grizzly old octogenari-
' an Itas pftfirsbiy got money and that accounts
for the milk in that cocoanut.” The Colonel
'w wends his way ,toZConuecticut with that
lf—deference he had always supposed due
to an honorable old age sadly damaged.
We attended the Second Presbyterian
Church at Cleveland, and heard an able dis-
course mm the Rev. Dr. Eelgwho left the
same church some years shine fer Brooklyn,
from thence went to (hlifornia, from which
last engagement he has just been released'to
go back to his old people. He is a man of
power but has the difficult task on hand of
healing a bitter dissension which sprang
up during his absence.
Leaving Cleveland for Chicago, we reach-
ed the latter city Monday,where we enjoyed
a day in showing up thebeauties and irreg-
ularities of this Western Babylon to the ju-
’ jvenile members of the party. Michigan av-
enue is unrivaled as a place of fine residences
but all else always seemed to us but a cob-'
house sort of temporary make-shift. The
city is growing enormously. It is full f
intense, earnest, capable, business men, and
witl'theirpmh, which seems. all combined,
the city must become one of the greatest
commercial centres of the Globe. N a one
thing has contributed so much to its growth
and prosperity, ne‘ite unparalleled numbe 1'
of parallel Railroads piercing the city from
every point of its circumference. For miles
and miles in all directions railroads branch
01". their-tracks not being a stone’s throW‘
from each other, yet they find business to
do, their stock is in demand, and the city
and country penetrated by them advances
in material wealth and development with
marvelous rapidity. i How long, »Oh, "how
long, shall it be before Connecticut shall
awake to similar commtm sense, or to ,a, at
least, partially similar prosperity.
From Chicago, a ride of a day and a
night on the fast Pacific train, and in one of
Pullman’s sumptuous railroad palaces,
brings you to 0mm, but erst the further;
most outpost of our civilization, but now, a
teeming, thrifty city of over thirty thousand
inhabitants! And here adieu. B.
Guess Lana, Mich, Sept. 4, 1869.
Dun Gmm .-On Monday last we had;
a pleasant drive to the neighboring city
of Jackson. This we found to be a very
thriving and prosperous city; in fact, there
were more evidences of rapid growth than
in any place yet visited by us. qu build-
ing; were being pushed up in all direc-
m many of them evidently intended for
' Wand handsome stores, as we noticed
- iron andIr'nsrble pieces for boats on the
ground ready for use. The streets were also-
being graded, repaired and fixed up gener-
ally, throughout the city. It is a “place of
.Iaboutlfifleen thousand'inhsbitsnts, and up:
apnea to be doing a very, large business, it
beingsmortnfoentcre’for the surrounding
co‘untry,withgood railroad accommodations.
. The Michigan Central runs through the
place, the Michigan Southern has a branch
fi-om Adrian up, and it is also the terminus
for the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw Road
running fig), and one out to the Grand
River Vail ; so you will perceive it is
quite a railroad center.
We passed by the ground of the Jackson
. County Agricultural Society on which ‘the
State Fair is to be held two weeks hence,
and was quite pleased. As seen from the'
_ road, it has the appearance of s' handsome
Park, with well graveled and shaded drives
and walks, well encloud; it looked charm~
ism and inviting after our hot and, dusty

Park. This is a new Park, out on the north-
ern limits of the city, handsomely laid out
with walks, drives, mounds, lakes, cottages,
grottoes, &c., a la Central Park. It has
llSO, its swans with a few ducks and geese.
From the Park it was but a few steps to the
bathing, although there is not, of course, as
nuch of a swell as there is at Long Branch
or Cape May.
The National Temperance Convention
was in session in‘ the city, with Gerritt Smith.
of N. Y., Judge Black of Penn., and Ned
Buntline of California, as its bright and
shining lights. Rev. Wm. Goodell (l) figured
somewhat as the delegate from Connecticut,
and he being the only representative from
the Nutmeg State, felt, I suppose, obliged to
ac somewhat prominent. Did you ever hear
of him before i must be a new comer, I think,
among our public characters.
A Boulevard for public driving, &c., has
recently been laid out around the city, and
its a consequence it has enhanced the valur
of property in the suburbs enormously.
One acquaintance, two years ago, bought
several lots for $200 each and now has offers
of $1000 each for them.
The weather here now is splendid, and
the farmers are jubilant over a rise which is
now going on in wheat. Ithas been down
very low, $1.20 per bushel, and consequent-
ly some of them had become desperate anr‘
left it stacked. _ Now it has been going up
for several days, some 4 or 5 cents per day,
tnd they are very busy thrashing out and
getting it ready for market. ‘ ,
They begin to have their jokes about the
Pacific Rail Road: one current here is, that
1 party of Indians attempted to lasso lht:
iron Horse; they went to one of the canons
through which the road passed, and a largo
number of them took hold of one end of the
line so as to hold him when caught; when
:he engine came pulling along the lasso was
successfully cast over the smoke-stack, and
then ensued a rich scene of grandaud lofty
tumbling, not down on their programme of
performances. " '

The Washington correspondents agree in
their reports of a conversation which the
‘ President held on Thursday with General
Clark of Texas, who during the war was
General McPherson’s adjutant general.
General Clark says the interview related al-
most enrirely to matters in Texas, \during
the discussion of which the President de-
clared himselfunreservedly in favor of Gen-
eral Davis for Govenor. He said that Ham-
ilton had deserted the republican party, and
that be (President Grant) would rather vote
for Throekmorton, or any other straight-out
democrat, than for General Hamilton in his

er is a high tribute to the noble qualities of
Gen Rav'vlins. The President arrived at the
depOt at five o’clock, and was driven to the
residence of Gen. Smith by Gen. Sherman
with all possible speed. He arrived at five
o’clock and twé minutes, just one hour af-
ter his friend and companion had breathed
his last. He anxiously inquired how long
the Secretary had been dead, and showed
thedeepest emotion. He asked a few ques-
tions ofDr. Bliss, and expressed,with tears
- in his eyes the deepest sorrow at his delay.
His first act wes to write a message to Mrs.

er dispatches to absent friends. He asked
if he could remain with the body at night,
but some of his friends urged him to seek
rest. “No” he said “I must be near the re-
mains." . A. few hours before the Secretary’s
death, in speaking of his . beloved family,‘
he said it was a terrible (thing to ‘ see and
lmow that his family was unprovided for,
and that his only joy was in the education
of his boys. A high officer of the old Ten-I
nesee army, who stood beside his bed, took
his hand and said “General, will you allow
the Old Army to adopt your boys, and ed-
ucate and provide for them?” The dying
officer, his eyes filled with tears, looked up
into the face of his old comrade and smiled,
and a faint “Yes” escaped his lips.‘

to us about at one of our Y. M. C. A. Lee-

been written up by the innocent Mark
Twain, noted as one of our most facetious
writers, and brought out in a handsome vol-
ume of 050 pages by the American Publish-
ing 00., of Hartford. It is illustrated with
236 spirited and appropriate -engravings,
and is entitled “The Innocents Abroad, or
The New Pilgrims Progress.” It is need-
less fo say that Mark has laid himself out
on this book, and that it is as full of genuine
fun. and good sense as a nut is of meat.
His humor. is catching and ever prevalent, '
but still the work is not simply a book of
jokes, but is full of good, reliable descrip-
tions what is really to be. seen in the old
world by ordinary travellers,and while some
pictures provoke .the ' risabilities, others
help us to understand the descriptive parts.
The author takes special delight in knock-
ing out the poetry and romance from prefi
0119 standard books of travel, and never '
dulges himself in rose-colored discriptions.
The book must be seen to be appreciated.

internal arrangements and adornments are
convenient and costly. The one at the
North end (Mr. Wilcox’s) is built of Mil-
waukie pressed brick—cream color—with
brown free stone trimmings,‘and when fin-
ished will probably cost a hundred thous-
and dollars. The other (Mr. Miller’s) is
built of wood with elegant carved work
within and without; and cost flour fifty to
seventy-five thousand dollars. They are
both situated on lots elevated above the
street, and overlook the city and country
for miles arOund. 'Just ofi‘ from Broad
street, on still higher ground East, on a new
street just obened a hundred feet wide, and
over half a mile long, and when graded
straight as an arrow, called Parker avenue,
is situated the new and beautiful modern
residence of Wilbur Parker, Esq, from
whose portico you can overlook the entire
city. A little way off from him is located
the home of his Father-in-law, J. Canfield,
Esq., also a very pleasant and attractive
house.
From my study window, where I am now
wri ing, I can see the country to the West-
ward for miles in the distance. A little. to
my, right is Lamentation Mountain and Cat
Hole Pass;'by whom, or when christened
with their names I do not‘know, nor why
so named. Right before me is West Peak
witbjts abrupt brow thrust into the clouds,
and thgn fitlling ofi' perpendicularly down-
ward like the face ofa man fi‘om forehead
to chin. Between this Peak and another a
little to the Eastward of it, lies the 'basin
that is being constructed with the Reservoir
that-is to supply Meriden with water. Leav-
ing these peaks and turning your eyes a lit-
tle to the left, over and far beyond the build-
ings Which lie in the valley below ' us, rise
the long line .of Prospect hills. And this
morning there is just enough haze in the at-
mosphere to-soften the glare of the sun and
make the view impressive and grand. 0
what lofty thoughts of creation, and above
all, of the Creator, do these bills and this.
landscape inspire! I never throw. up my
sash and throw open my blinds on a clear
morning, without being presented with a
picture of loveliness and beauty no artist has
ever been able to equal. While looking at
this scene, there comes to my ears the hum
of busy life; the rattle of wagons, the rush
of the cars, and the buzz of machinery; for
Merideu abounds in industries. We are
truly a busy, enterprising, manufacturing
city. I can now count from six to eight
mills and factories right in sight of where I
am sitting; which employ thousands of op-
erators and millions of capital. One of these
factories~ is over four hundred feet long, and
five stories high. The others. vary from one
hundred to between three and four hundred
feet each in length, and of proportionate
height. The largest, ivory, and I presume
the largest, or at least, one of the largest,
silver plating factories in the world, are lo-
cated here. We manufacture all kinds of
hardware, table cutlery, piano stools, bench-
es, vises (not wicked, although hard ones)
&c., doc. , '
At this time of writing, our improvements
are in the transition state. Our streets are
torn up, that they may be laid down in bet-
ter form and grade; walks and roads are
being widened; water and gas pipes being
laid; buildings raised or lowered or re-
mdved, in fact, it is house cleaning and fix-
ing time with us—city wise. But the in-
ducements to incomers are great. We have
large industries, new and elegant sch.ol
houses of the first class; new and elegant
churches; which taken together with our
past growth and prosperity, and our future
prospects—for we are destined to be the
capitol of the State—Meriden is no mean
tion and influence. ‘ J. J. W.

The nomination for Govenor of 001., Rob-
inson, The Green Bay Advocate, by the
Wisconsin democrats, recalls a good story
of his early editorial career. Before the
days of rapid travel the Colonel set out fol
a business journey to the city, leaving
his paper in charge of his wife—a shrewd,
lively, independen and talented Rhode Is-
land woman, who ad been educated in the
strictest faith of the Whigs. No sooner
had her devoted lord get well on his jour-
ney than she changed the politics of the
Advocate to suit her own notions, very much
as John Phoenix did with Judge Amcs’ San-
Diego Herald, under the like circumstances.
For three or four weeks, until, in those days
of slowtruvel, the irate husband and. editor
could get back, the Democrat was the blush-
ing organ of the most downright Whiggery
first to the amazment and then to the amuse-
ment of its Democratic readers, who had
sense enough to take a joke. So bad the
Colonel, but never heard the last of his
wife’s editorial coup and probably never
will.

Every housekeeper knows that during the heated
term, meats, butter, fruits, etc, must be kept cool,but
do not know how best to attain the desired end. To
such we would say that the Zero Refrigerator, patent-
edby Mr. A. M. Lesley, has been before the public
for many years, and is highly recommended by pro-
fessors, hotel keepers, and heads of families. The ice -
keeps longer in this than any other refrigerator; the
food does not come in contact with the ice itself, and
the box is cool without being damp. These are a few
of its advantages. Mr. Lesley has recently invented
what he calls a “wine and milk cooler.” It is really
a miniature rekigcrator, is portable, and for use in
bed-rooms, where it is desirable to have milk, water.
etc, cool in the hottest nights, it is indispensable
