wonderful consummation of human achieve-
ments. The august glories of that day, have
become as radiant on the pages of on} na-
tional history as were the gleaming tints of
sapphire and gold that flecked the Western
sky as the sun went down in an unwanted
splendor on that eventful day. That mar-
vel of our modern civilization, the electric
telegraph, by arrangement, flashed from
ocean to ocean in simultaneous‘waves of
exultation the exact moment of the triumph~
ant alliance. In San Francisco the bells
were rung out in wild pools of jw. In New
York and Boston and other Atlantic cities,
artillery awoke the echoes and pronounced
the momentous event. Since the surrender
of Lee’s army at Appomattox, the nation
has ‘not been so exultantly thrilled, and
entirely proper were all these demonstra-
tions, for the end of this beginning is not,
and cannot be discerned. The tide of emi-
of the road. Red Range, the next mountain
spur, is noted only as the dividing territorial
line between the miserable Plates and Shos-
ones, said to be the most brutal and wretched
of all the Indian tribes. Battle Mountain,
and Rock Creek are rapidly passed by.
Large and rich copper mines are located
here, but not much developed as yet. A‘r-
genta is an eating station and has two stage
lines running out to Austin and Reese mi-
ning country, 175 miles distant. And by
the way, our conductor was 0. E. Kimball,
erst of the New Haven road, who runs from
Carlin to Toane. A still greater surprise to
our party was the advent of George Corn-
wall, just as we had emerged from our sleep-
ing berths and were performing our morn-
ing ablutions. Not kilowing that he was
withiutliree thousand miles of us, his fa-
miliar outcry of “ tickets” produced an in-
sfantaneous home feeling that for the mo-
justice. It is enough to say, in general
terms, that all were delighted. The mana-
gers of the Association are under special ob-
ligations to Mr. Gough for the generous
terms on which he lectured, for “oldlac-
quaintancc sake.” . , .
The next two lectures will be delivered
by Rev. W. C. Richards, next week. These
are to be scientific lectures, illustrated by
experiments, and vi]! prove as interesting as
they will be valuable.
Concern—A concert is to be given at
Lockwood’s Hall, on Wednesday evening,
under the direction of Miss Minnie Howard
Briggs, conductress of the Bridgeport Mad-
rigal Union, assisted by Misses Keep, Judd,
Benjamins, Bradley, and Messrs. Atkinson,
Wilmot and Peck. The programme will be
found elsewhere. Miss Briggs has a fine
reputation in Bridgeport as a singer and
one of the most respected and prominent
citizens of Bridgeport, was found dead in
his bed yesterday morning. He is supposed
to have died in a fit of apoplexy. .
WAt the South Norwalk depot, upon
the arrival of the 10 o’clock a. m. train on
Saturday morning, a span of horses attach-
ed to a cab became frightened and ran up
past Peck’s store .into WashingtOn, Street,
and in front of the Post Office ran‘into Mr.’
Snowden’s carriage in which a lady was
seated, tearing of the top and throwing lady
and all on to the sidewalk. The carriage
was completely wrecked, but strange to say
the lady was uninjured. The horses were
stopped before further damage was done.

pecially our Delegations in Congress have
ever been the earnest and active friends of
this grandest public work of modern times.
But we muse-no longer tarry in our nar-
rative, for we have yet near seven hundred
miles to glide on the iron rail before we
reach the land of gold.
As we said, we bid adieu to our special
Pullman at Promontory, the C. P. using
their own sleepers which are denominated
“ Silver Palace Cars,” and palaces they are.
They, with all their- regular passenger
coaches are built at Wilmington, Del., and
are most luxuriously constructed in every
anticular, We aver without a fear of con-
tradiction that the passenger car equipment
between Omnha and Sacramento is twenty
years ahead of anything seen upon New
England roads!
Supt. Crocker, whose estimable lady had
joined our party, provided a special car, for
our accommodation... andvre were soon glid-
ing over the boat, or at least the smoothest
nailroadr'bedr we had ever traveled upon.
Anti: wemay as well brand here as false,
wicked and malicious, all attempts to deny
the. good quality of these two railroads. '
The only possible criticism to which we
think either road at all liable is the narrow-
ness of the earth embankments in many
places This is all well enough in the dry
seasons, but the rains of winter will, we
think, he likely to so wash the light gravel
as to affect the solidity of the outer ends of
the ties. But this is a defect easily remedied
if experience proves its necessity. One
thing is certain: The amount of subtantial
comfort and even luxury provided the trav-
eler in riding, eating and sleeping, is a great-
er marvel even, than the wonderful rapidity
of its construction. Let no man or woman
hesitate to take this trip for fear of discom-'
fort, An invalid can travel from New York,
to Sacra mento with less of annoyance and
discomfort than from New York to Boston
or- Wasbington, so strenuous and successful
have been the efforts to popularize these
roads.
Promontory is about five thousand feet
above the sea, and as we before intimated,
not specially attractive to the tourist, though
a place of historic renown and prime iln-
penance. to the companies, so we hasten on,
in the eye of the setting sun. The valley of
the Humboldt andeumboldt river are the
next topographical objects of interest. Here,
herds to feed the world with beef, may be
fed and fattened, it is claimed, on the rich,
bottom grasses of the valley, while water,
the great desideratum of this region, is
abundantly supplied by the river and nu-
merous creeks and mountain brooks. Elko
is the first station of- cousequence. It is the
Ila-“pd Quarters of all the Whtie Pine travel
and commerce. .Wells, Fargo do 00., send
out a stage daily and one comes in to meet

The one which had just arrivedas we halted
at the station, badzbrought in about $40,000
in silver bars—a load of itself—and to show
the exhilarating nature of stage travel, on
that line, the coach cover was perforated
with seven bullet holes, shot by a gang of
robbers recently organized for the plunder
of treasure coaches from the miners. A

Still further laconically asserts, “ the mules
only was brought back, they being the only
- things of value,” and the chaotic state of
society existing beyond the civililizing i-n-
fluences'of the railroad seems to justify this
code of Judge Lynch. ,
Carlin is the next important station.
There are several hotels and a railroad
dining house, and canvass and other build— -
ings of various pretentious. The company
have a round house, and their Division
Workshops located here. Here a toll road
- biz-inches off to theIdaho mines and stages
run in connection with the trains. The Pill-
isades or Humboldt Canyon,brings us again
to the wild, grand, bleak and bare walls of
mountain rocks'as frowning and awe-inspir-
ing as any that we have met before. The
track seems to squeeze itself through this
Canyon, besides walls rising from the very
ing aspect. Sage-brush and alkali disappear
and we can now descry tall, green cedars
bedecking the mountain sides. A novel
cave in Mineral Hill, is worthy a visit. It
is some three hundred feet long in its main
chamber and a hundred feet _ overhead. Its '
roof being covered with the silicate of
lime in the form of warts 01' globules. An
internal stream of pure and very cold water
. flows down some subterranean cavern at its
inner extremity. We next pass Verdi, the
last station before we pass the line of the
golden State. Winding around the wild,
bleak and broken Sierras, we dodge here
and there a tortuous and tumultuous little
stream, turning saw mills and giving wash-
ings to the miners, till we reach Truckee
City, the largest town on the Central east of
Sacramento. It is in the midst of a heavily
tilnbered region, and where the snow falls in
winter, any number of hundrcdfeel, accord-
idg to the depth of the Canyon or gorge be—
low. One of the engineers assured us that
tho snows fill in here to the depth of three
hundred feet during the inontb of March.
Of course these dense masses of snow are
the result of snow slides rather than the de-
posits of the storms.’ The road, as a matter
of course, now dodges all the ravines it can
and keeps well up on the mountain sides.
The town is the head-quarters of a rich
mining district, and the amount of mer-
chandise teamed into the interior amounts
to $150,000 per month. DonnerLakc is the
next object of beauty and interest. It is
about a mile wide and some four long, and
no bottom yet found, although two thou-
and feet of line have been dropped. It is a
silvery gem right in the heart of the Sierras
sand is conjectured to be the crater of some
extinct volcano, where water has replaced
the fires of the volcanic period.
Snow sheds now catch our eye. Thirty-
six miles of continuous shed, built at a cost
of $10,000 in gold per mile, both interest
and vex the tourist. When completed,
about forty miles of these ponderous, sharp-
pcaked snow sheds will- cover the .central
track across the the crests of the. Sierras, a
line the as far astrom New York to Nor-.
walk. Cisco, A'lta, Dutch Flat, You Bet,
Red Dog, Gold Run and other euphoneously
named stations are hurriedly passed, when
we “ round Cape Horn,” the most stimulating
part of the entire road, especially to weak.
nerves. The road passes along the brink of
a precipice ranging from six hundred to
three thousand feet in its awful depths! At
one point, the track is both masoned and
trestled up, so as to maintain its line and
- cross a gulch on the mountain side. The
main track is cut into the rocky side of the
.mountain and in). plenty of places a jump
of three feet would land our train in an al-
most bottomless abyss. Colfax is the next
station of moment. It is the Depot for
Grass Valley and Nevada City. Here we
emerge from the wildest of the Sierras’ scen-
ery and rushing by numberles small mining
towns, land at SACRAMENTO, less tired, less
annoyed and perplexed and the usual dis-
comfort of travel, than in any trips we ever
made to Washington or Boston. Adieu.

ANNA Drcmsox 0N run Monitor's—It
is an error to suppose that the women in
Utah out-number the men. The actual cen-
sue will show that there are really more
men than women in that region. A great
many men there have but one wife each;
the majority of the young men have no
wives at all. The men who are bishops in
the church, and apostles, and elders, and
governors, under Brigham, have the money
to support the wives. The theory of poly--
gamy is universally ado ed and univers-
ally believed and supported by Mormon
minds, and hearts perchancc, but it is not
universally put in pra‘ctice,for the very good
reason that there are not women sufficient
'to carry it out. There are no fi'ce schools,
no general system of education, no libraries,
no reading rooms,no mental life, no hapr
piness, no mirth. True there are family
schools, established and supported by the
Saints, each exclusively for himself. ‘
Neither are there any homes in Salt Lake
city. The houses where the wives are kept
are gloomy, cheerless places. The palm is
given to the wife who bears the most chil-
dren. When I saw the little, stunted anni-
mals stamped with the degradation of wo-
men,I cried in bitterness “Would to Go
they might be in their graves.” I covered
upm face and wanted to die. Yet are
