years ago, yielded ourselves up to the guid-
ance Offliln whose-“yoke is easy and whats

this rough journey, made. Smooth and the
path pleasant; ' ' ‘ .
There would .be little pf novelty for-me lO‘
‘vvrile'abOut, on thejOurlicy from New YOrk
to Saint Louis. There were tears in the eyes
‘ ofa few dear ones, whom we left at home
near Norwalk, and these occupied our
thoughts to theexcthion of all else, till we.
got to Pillsbury.~ There the fiery blasts ofa_
thousand furnaces, and the rolling thunder
of hundreds awake us to attention. Pitts-
»burg is a very picturesque place, viewed
from’lhe hill tops, along the edge of which
our train glides, so near that you sometimes
feel the beat of the furnaces. The city with its
flames of fire, jets of while steam and black
smoke ; the beauliful bridges spanning the
Monongahela and Allegheny, winding
among the green hills of the suburbs, presents
a plcture not easily forgotten. The proxim-
ity of Coal and Iron; facilities for transpor-
tation by its rivers. give it an advantage in
the manufacture of- iltou and steel over all
other cities in the Union. It has many
ul-ighbors. Along the Pennsylvania Central,
after it crosses the Allegahany, there are
towns and villages where either coal or iron,
or both, are mined and forged. Some of
these, like “Johnstovvu” are immense con.
came, with millions of Capital, and thou-
sands of workmen. All thie~mercliaudise,
’and- the wealth intelligence and‘llbcrallly
of'lhe people are proverbial.
. The ride across the Alleghanies is quite
equal to that over the Sierra Nevada’s, with
this advantage that you haven’t to go so far
for it. The “Horse Shoe of file Benn, Central
R. It. is as grand as the Cape Horn" of the
Central Pacific R. R; Creseon, on the mono.
lain top, looks like a charming resort.
The digging of coal, iron and other min-
erals from the hillsides interests you. That
such lhing’s are found neatly ready made,
’—only requiring cooking over the fire like
potatoes—is always a surprise to me. You
meet with it on this route as far as St. Louis.
Like the people on the Cherokee neutral
lands in Kansas, nearly every farmer there
has a coal yard on his place, all he has to do
is to dig for lg Ill some places not half a
dozen feel ; handy! is it not, to have an in-
cxhauslable supply of coal in your back
yard, or iron in your cellar. Up in North
Western New York, they find by digging
down twenty feet Sulphur Water, lhirty:five
feet Saltwater. So when you set a man dig-
ging he asks which you want, Sulphur, Salt
or Pure. If its for home consumption you
say “pure.” If its to preserveglur neigh-
bors you use sail, if its to “darn” him you
give Sulphur. Note the pure require the
hardest digging. V. C.
WESTERN TORNADOES.
CARSON CITv,COL0nADo, Aug 2d, 1871 .
That was a big story they told aboutlhe
tornado, at East St. Louis, two months ago,
lifting a locomotive “bodily off the R. R.
track and setting it down square on its wheels
twenty feet away and then upsetting it}:
' How do they. know it was lifted up ant? set
down square, “you ask,” because there was
not asign of a mark of its having touched
.lhc sides of the embankment down which or
over which it was “lifted,” is their reply,
you look surprised, "that's so neighbor as
surc’s your born” says a bystander, “it took
the roof of the elevator, scattered half a
dozen R. R. Depots, in a thousand pieces
within a radius of a quarter Of a smile, and
beyond that even the corn in the fields stood
undisturbed. But looking at the frail char-
acter of the buildings erected out west, the
"umbrella. frames,” and “band box” cover-
ing the only wonder that occurs to you is that
there are not more blown down, and the
thought occurs that they have about as high
winds at the East. but then the locomotive
story comes in and we retire humiliated.
But they get up winds here at shorter no-
lice audio higher style than with us, andas
the prairies, like the sea, give them unob-
structed sway, and the soil is light alluvial,
in summer'dry, they raise a dust which to
be appreciated must must be seen and felt,
you have nothing like it in the cast. It
clouds the air so thick that you cannot see
across. the street, fills your 'eyes, nostrils,
ears and mouth,so full you can neither see,
smell, hear nor breathe. Shutting yourself
in doors wont keep it out. It comes down
the chimney, in the edges of the doors and
windows, through every crack you see and
hundreds of cracks you need never expect to
be able to find,‘ or supposed existed. If you
are riding in a vehicle, it surrounds you
with a cloud so thick you suffocate, and you
come out of it only to find that you and eve-
ry thing you possess, is covered with it. You
can realize what the‘Slmoon or the desert
must be, and as this kind ofcountry extends
all the way from the Missouri river on the
east tolhe Sierra Nevada on the west, and
from the British Possesslous on the North
to Mexico on the South, with the exception
of Rocky Mountain Range, you have no es-
cape from it in certaul seasons. With what
a deep feeling of joy we first came in sight
of the rolling clouds of the Pacific Coast on
the Columbia river beyond the cascade and
deserts of Idaho; we shall always remember
fogs, Clouds and storms ;~ thunder and light-
ning were henceforth and forever attractive,
and yet one gels a liking for this country.
A Californian returning with us from the
East one day stepped out Of the cars on the
Central Pacific R. P. at Humbolt South and
where there is nothing lobe seen but while
'soda colored sand, suge' brush, and barren
hills, and rubbed his hands with uufcigued
delight exclaimed “Ah thank Heaven I have
got back into ‘God’s‘ country once more."
At first I thought he was fooling, but soon
found he was in earnest. I had food for an
hours meditation on the text. There is, no
Store. .-
elry. no, in this country, at Weed’s Jewelry '
accounting for taste, but on coming back to
”'Longfellow contributes to the Atlantic, under
' ceiling, as Leonardi De. Vincis last supper
there could not-have been any political or
two, I confess-a feeling of delight in again
trampling «over the} boundleSs prairie, feel-
ing the neverccasing breeze once more fun-
ning my face, and enjoying the uninterrupb
ed view-of its beautiful ever varying skies.
CHURCHES OUT WEST. ‘
The Town of Lawrence, Kansas, is not a
Metropolis, audyet it has thirteen churches,
two or three of them are as as'haudsomc
as any in Boston or Philadelphia. The Con-
gregational church is larger and handsomer
than Henryyvurd Beecher-’5 church in Brook-
ly‘, to be sure that is not saying much! The
ceiling is painted with eight or ten large water
color (fresco) paintings, copies in colossal of
familiar pictures illustrating the life of our
Savior; Some not happily chosen for a
wifh'fhc dishes threatening tofall upon our
heads, t yet not ugly, and surprisingly lib-
eral an ambiliOus; the reading desk L':

the organ ousting five thousand dollars; the
seals roomy, luxuriously cuShloued ; carpet-
ed harmoniously with walls and wood work;

choir superb. ' . . '

byterian churchesmll first class. It is the
same in Chicago, the churches on Wabash
Avenue being models of practical comf
and elegance. V. C.

on the “ South Norwalk Palaces,” in the
WM'OI- August 7th, which doesgreat
injustice to Hon. E. A. Woodward by inii~
maling or asserting that all the-money
loaned by himself and the Insurance Com-

quired the utmost limitfor security and that
he sparedltotfiu case of non-fulfillment of

opponent ‘of the, said Woodward, has the
pleasure of "stating thilt he knows Of many
crises where not one of the charges is true,
and also that he does not know of a single
case where they are true. He has obtained
loans of Mr. W. for friends in both parties
and was never asked their politics. The
scoopily required in no Case has been ex
orbitant, nor has be ever crowded the de-
linquent if by mistake or otherwise the time
'of payment run over a few days. Your car-
rlspondvnt also has the pleasure of know-
ing of some private acts of kindness which
Mr. Woodward could easily have excused
himself from performing, and for which
