Forlovers of the beautiful- in nature, the
pleasant yiilagepf Amherst is fast becoming
a favorite resort. Finely, situatcdnpona
slight elevation, and completely encircled
with mountains, it commands an extensive
view in all directions. Holland and Beecher
have each immortalized the beauties of the
scenery surrounding their alma mater.
Amherst in itself has many attractions for
summer visitors. It is a quiet old-fashioned
country town abounding in pleasant drives
a id walks. ‘ The, > college affords a fife
museum and‘ library, and there is also a good
town library. About a mile from the center
is the Agricultural College whose extensive
grounds and beautiful green-houses are well
worth visiting. And looking somewhat out
of place amoug'its more modern surround-
ings, stands the old yellow house in which
Noah Webster lived and where most of the
Dictionary was written.
Amherst is within easy driving distanze of
Mt. Holyoke and ML] Toby. The former
mountain range is about ten miles long and
lies directly south Of the town. Uprn the
summit at the western end which overlooks
the river is a hotel, which is reached by
driving to the steepest part, and then being
conveyed by steam up the inclined railroad
to the top. The view is most extensive and
beautiful, and line telescopes and other facili-
ties for observing thelandscape are provided.
0.) the north livs Mt. Toby, and Mt. Monad-
nook, with pent s of the Green Mountains in
the distance. At the south is Springfield,
whose armory can be plainly seen in a clear
day. On the west is Greylock, the highest
mountain in the slate, and in all directions lie
fields of various colors, like squares upon a
checker board, miniature villages dotted
with numerous church steeples, sure sign of
a settlement in New England, and winding
itself about like a long and glittering serpent
flows the beautiful Connecticut. Upon its
placid bosom repose numerous islands, and
mills and factories dot its banks.
The view from Mt. Toby is much similar
to that from Mt. Holyoke, but at the foot is
a pleasant grove with swings and croquet,‘
much frequented by picnic parties. A faint-
ly marked foot-path winds about the sides of
the mountain, through dense woods and over
and under immense moss-grown rocks, cross-
ing and recrossinga laughing and tumbling
mountain brook. Those .who are able to
climb through the woods find themselves
amply repaid for their trouble. Upon the
summit is a lower seventy feet high, anchor-
ed to the rocks by huge iron cables.
:Beside the mountains there are many other
places of interest in the vicinity of Amherst.
A pleasant drive through Hadley leads to
Northampton, in the upper part of which is
Round Hill, a noted watering place, whose
spacious hotels are filled with Summer board-
ers. Deerfield, famous for,its old Indian
massacre, is not far‘nort'h'west of Amherst.
Over among the hills. of Belchcrtown, admir-
ers of Holland will be pleased to see the place
where he was born and spent his early boy.
hood. '
The beauty Of its situation and grandeur
Of its scenery have this summer drawn to
Amherst a large number of visitors, and the
hotels and boarding houses are filled to over-
flowing. Among other boarders at the Orient
House are Prof. Eddy and family of the
University of Cincinnati, Prof. Boyeson of
the State University of Indiana, and Prof.
Atwater of the same place, Prof. Newton of
Oberlin College, and Prof. Richardson, lately
of a University .in California. .Rev. E. A.
Reed, Of the First church in Springfield, has
leased ahonse and will spend the summer
here with his family.
A Normal School, conducted by Prof.
Sauvcm, is held in the College buildings, in
which many modern and ancient languages,
Sanserit included,“ are taught, byanew and
peculiar method. Alout two hundred pupils
havc already arrived and a large corps of
teachers, including Miss Leonowens, of
literary fame. The presence of these
students give a very novel appearance to our
town, for instead of jcollege‘ boys standing in
groups around the' corners, we meet at every
turn flocks of young ladies with eyeglasses
and laden ‘with school books. The gay cos-
tumes and bright faces enliven the library and
other college buildings, hitherto sacred to the
sterner use. ADDISON AIMWELL.

Redemption, 'or is Expiation a
Fiction ?
The above title describes a sermon by T.
S. Childs, D. D., published recently from the
press of Clark & Bulkley, Hartford, but orig-
inally preached in the Windsor Avenue Con-
gregational church of Hartford, May 25th,
1874, at an ordination.
The reasons assigned by the author in a
prefactory note, for the publication are these :
“Exceptions have been taken to the writer's
‘theological position’ as misrepresenting ‘the
position of the Seminary' "—the Hartford
Theological Seminary, in which he was then
5 a professor, and he proceeds to defend his po-
sition as in full accord with that of the Sem-
inary as understood by him, f‘first as trustee,
then as professor," from “personal acquaint-
ance with some _of_ its foundem,”-fand from
“sketch of its origin andobject by the author
of its Constitution and Creed.” Among the
founders or friends referred to are Rev. Drs.
Hewit, Hall and At‘water, of Fairficld West
Conscociation; and the writer Of this brief
notice, associated withthem in this body and
by election in the Pastoral Union, is free to
state his conviction as to the substantial iden-
tity of the two theological positions;
Another reason given for this publication
is the present air and aspect of “theological
controversy” in New England.
The writer of this welcomes this
sermon of Dr. [Childs 7. as a timely and
very valuableidiscnssion of principles which
are radical in this'and all controversy whose
worthy and most important object is to as-
certain and vindicate the essential truths of
the Gospel.
The members of the First Church of Nor-
walk need no assurance of the ability, logic,
and .scripturalnéss of this discourse of Dr.
Childs, their former pastor; and it is cordi-
ally commended to them by one of their
brethren. B.

“When the good Gad. is troubled with

At last -I am back in the American's Para-
dise and; may‘iidpe to be more regular in my
letters than I have been lately. As so long a
break , has Occurred I think I had better
change the plan‘s little, and, though continu-
ing our wanderings, devote a letter now and
then to events of more immediate interest.
To day I.’Wii1_',§Péak about our coming to
Paris,.and my next shall be devoted to the
fetc of-th'e 301k of May. , I also expect to
tell youh’tjw the Exposition strikes the for-
eigner. .The difficulty is there are so many
things to 'tell it is hard to choose.
If your memOry is good you will remem-
ber that we saw. a little of London in the last
letters and. became wearied. Charlie remark-
ed :-—-"I fain would rest. Besides I begin to
yearn for a sightof the sun once more before
I die. Let’s go.” We iwerc innocent then
and thought-,thc-sun always shone on Paris.
But of our sad avv'akcnin'g-later.
So we packed upourbelongings at an un-
earthly __i.dnrfmie pimping and took the train
for Folkestonc. Chi'selhiirstlies 0n the route,
but tho' we strained our eyes We saw no signs
of second-hand crowns. Possibly Eugenie“
was not yet up..
Arrived at Folkestone we found the wind
blowing a gale, and, as misfortunes never
come singly, who should we see on the quai
but the Duke and his inevitable pipe. Those
two parted company before long. He was
delighted to meet us and We had. the face to
pretend. to feel an equal joy. Somerset had
never before been on the sea, his nautical ex-
ploits having been confined to a‘pu‘nt on the
Thames, but like many others of his ilk talk
waxed very salt from the moment we crossed
the gang-plank.
* The steamer was a little tub and barely
held all the passengers who crowded on.
Comfort ro one was rash enough to expect
and few were disappointed. The paddle-
wheels turned and we made off,—-and up and
down and sidewise, for as far as pitching goes
' I’ll back up a channel steamer against the
best “professional” you can name. And, oh
ashes of my uncle, how that boat smelt of
garlic and steam and ancient cheese 1 I said _:
“Boys, if this thing keeps up much longer I
depend on you to break the news gently to
my suffering family.” Neither answered.
' Their grief overcame them. Charlie, with
his coat collar about his cars, sat in a corner
leaning against a tar bucket. Ills eyes were
shut and he communed with himself,—about
Bible history it seemed from the few words
I caught. “Poor Jonah! Poor whale, I say!
I’ll erect a monument when I get home to
that abused,—oli my poor country! And
this is pleasure l” I turned to the Duke.
His lips were a trifle asby, but that noble man
did not quail. No, he had taken out his
phrase book and was trying between the
qualms to store his mind with useful knowl-
edge. “ ‘Have you my uncle's green but 'r"
Hum, let's see,—‘est-ce qua yous avez’,—yes,
is it that you have,—‘le chapeau vert dc mon
oncle ?’—the hat green of my uncle. Beastly
language; why cannot tfi beggars talk de-
cently. Green hat. Who wears a green hat?
Ye gods! if I was not so confoundedly queer-
ish I'd brain that rascal for setting that basin
in front of me,—-insnlt to injury. ‘No, but I
have seen the brown monkey at the Jardin
des Plantes.’ That fellow is not to be trust-
ed, with his equivocal answers. ‘Non, mais
j'ai vu single brun an J ardin des Plantesa
‘Sir, will you,——if I must die let it be seen by
all the world how ends 11 Somerset.” And
be wrapped his rug about him, and weak but
danntlcss zig-zagged to the side of the ship.
I saw him no more on the voyage. In fact
I saw nothing until the town of Boulogne-
sur-mer loomed up out of the water on it‘s
bluff, for I had no time for indulging in idle
curiosity. I was in too great dread of being
sick. Fortunately we ran into the harbor be-
fore the thing came to pass, but I believe an-
other hour would havc sent me to the Duke’s
assistance.
As we passed ashore a custom house officer
asked each of us in French and English:
"Any tobacco? Any liquors?" No more no-
tice was taken of us except to see that we en-
tered the right car. They will not allow a
man to make a mistake in _travcling, these
‘continentals. At Amicns, where we stopped
forafew minutes, the Duke began to feel
peckish, as he put it, and tried to buy some
pears. The old woman could not understand
him and he called me up to make the bargain.
Then for the first time I learned that they do
not speak French in France—or thought I
learned it. I said: “Come-beang '2" She
looked at me absently for a moment and
then indulged in a few words ina foreign
tongue, to my utter annliilalion. But as the
old man chanced to have his attention drawn
in another direction for a moment, I took
three pears and furlively held out a handful
of coppers and let her pay herself. Thus I
saved my reputation.
Oh we jogged through a flat barren coun-
try of great un-interest. It was evening
when we neared Paris and our impressions
of its appearance were as one of those old
fashioned lanterns made of tin full of small
holes thro' which light is sprinkled. NO
trouble at the station for an official procured
us a cab and gave us a little slip of paper
upon which was printed what we had to
WY-
To the Grand Hotel we drove and Obtain-
ed :1 mt. on the fifth floor at the rate of
six francs a day each, not including service,
lights, meals or anything but the simple
room. After washing (with our owu soap,
of course,) we went out in search of dinner.
This was in November, the 20th, but still
there were quite a number of people sitting
at the little round tables on the sidewalks
in front Of the cafes, drinking black cofl'ee
and cognac.
We entered a restaurnt where the sign
stated that dinners were to be had at three
francs and twenty-five centimesa head. One
hundred centimes make a franc which is
equal to about twenty cents. We managed
to make enough out of the bill of fare to
get a decent meal and then walked out once
more upon the Boulevards. The great
Boulevards really form one long street reach-
ing from the Madeleine to the Chateau de
Ean and are fine broad streets bordered by
trees and paved after the McAdam plan.
Bright with their dazzling‘shop windows
which, according to the French habit in
many other things, usually contain the en-
tire stock of the establishment; and lively
with their sauntering crowd of pleasure seek-
ers who never will turn in any direction.
It was a fine night but the city was all
onlhe street. I found out, alas too soon,
that fine weather is a rarity and when it
does come, or a semblance of it, all the
world turns out to take the air whilst it may.
It has rained here this year almost constant-
ly from September to J tine. .
But I have reachd the end of our first day
in Parisand will stOp. I hope to send you
the next letter in time for next week's paper ‘
and do not mean to allow so long an inter-
val to escape again unless I take a trip some.
where. ,
By the way, if any one has any questions
to ask about Paris or Italy or if there is
any particular thing over here one desires
described, let him (or iron) send me a note
to the care of the Editors of the GAZETTE
and I will try to answer. If I do not know
I will try to find out and if that fails I'll
say so and not give sham replies.

GREAT THROUGH LINE
AND
UNITED STATES DIAIL ROUTE
The attention of the traveling public is respect-
fully invited to some at the merits of this great
highway, in the confldentassertion and belief that
no other line can offer equal inducements as a
route of travel. In
Construction and Equipment
TIIE
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
stands confessedly at the head of American rail-
ways. The track is double the entire length ol‘thc
line.ol' steel rails laid on heavy oak ties.which are
embedded in a foundation of rockballast eighteen
inches in depth. Ail bridges are of' iron or stone,
and built upon the most approved plans. Its pas-
senger cars, while eminently safe and substantial.
are at the same time models of comfort and ele-
gance.
The Safety Appliances
in use on this line well illustrate the far-seeing
and liberal policy of its management,in accord-
ance with which the utility only of’ an improve-
ment and not its costhas been the question of'con-
sideration, Amongmany may be noticed
THE BLOCK SYSTEJI 0F SIGNALS,
JANNEY COUPLER, BUFFER AND
PLATFORM,
THE WHARTON PATENT S WITCH}
AND
THE WEB TIN GH 0 USE AIR-BRAKE,
forming in conguncfion with a perfect double
track and road- ed a combination of safeguards
against accidents which have rendered them
practically impossible.
Pullman Palace Cars

important points.
THE SCENERY
Of the Pennsylvania Route
is admitted to be unsurpassed in the world for
grandeur, beauty and variety. Sn erior refresh-

courteous and attentive. and it is an inevitable
result that a trip by the Pennsylvania Railrwl

Total Depravlly of Files.
Everbody will remember the old lady of
blessed memory who expressed the convic-
tion that total (lcplavily was a very good
doctrine, if PCOple would only live up to it.
It *8 CVident flint the common house-fly is
!an earnest believer in this doctrine, and
“mm lives us to its faith with the utmost
zeal and fidelity. The man does not live
'who has ever discovered a single virtue in
;these pestiferous creatures, while there is
{not a vice known to the moral code to
which they are not recklessly and hopeless-
ly addicted. It is a case or original sin work-
ing out its results unchecked, and no chemcs
of regeneration has ever been introduced
among. them. The nut is industrious, the
bee is skillful and useful to man,thc flea
may be taught amusing tricks, spiders have,
ere now, become pets and relieved the
tedium of solitary prisioners, and even bugs
and worms have their modest merits, and
at least serve as food for noblcr formsof
creation; but the fly was never known to
ptri‘orm a meritroious act,and all his energies
are devoted to making an unmitigated nui-
sance of himself. Perhaps his most con-
spicuous trait is his colossal impndcnce.
Albeit diminutive {in size, be will outdo a
wilderness of hotel clerks and railroad'ofll-
ours in the display of arrogance and imperil-
nence. He is more penetrating thauJovc,
and stony limits cannot keep him out. NO
privacy is so sacred that this pcstilent ii:-
truder does not make his way to its inner
depths, without even offering an apology.
He never waits for an invitation, but comes
every-where as a “dead head,” without as
much as remarking, “by your leave.” The
most enterprising and persistent of special
commissioners is diffident incomparison. In
august assemblies Of state he invades the
seat of honor, and does not forbear to perch
upon the nose of the grandest plenipoten.
tiary, or to explore the nostrils of the Prime
Minister. Even Kings and Queens are not
exempt from this prying curiosity, and he
walks boldly into the royal cars, if carelessly
left- open, without the smallest compunc
tion. At banquets he envades the most vigi-
lant door keeper and makes himself at home
-—an unwelcome and unevitable guest. He
pounces upon the choicest viands and takes
a taste from every dish, and does not scruplc
to use the frills and laces of the company as
his napkin. He hies him to my lady’s
chamber, and unblusliingly explores its most
guarded secrets. What he does not know
about these things is not worth knowing,
and he pries into them from sheer depravity.
Thence lie ranges through all- the habitations
of high and low, and makes himself ac-
quainted with cverv household. He is
found at every resort of fashion of pleasure,
and is thoroughly cosmopolition in his tastes
Sea shore and mountain are alike to him, if
he can find human beings to torment and
annoy:
Not only is the fly an intolerable bore,
through his persistent presence where he is
not wanted and his offensive familiarity,
but his habits are every way bad. As a
“dead-beat” he has no rival in animated
nature. He keeps all manner of late hours.
and utterly disregards the law of health
and decency. He loafs about bar-rooms,
and partakes of free lunches without the
least sense of shame and degredation. He
cats and drinks of everything that can be
eaten and drunken, and always at the ex-
pense of somebody else, and without the
slightest show of gratitude. Filth isas at-
tractive to him as elegance and luxury, and
he has a most repulsive habit of exploring
every accessible mass of pollution and
straightway betaking himself ,to the unpro-
tected check of beauty or the delicious cakes
of the fastidious epicure. He delights in
tormenting man, from whose labors be de-
rives his chief sustenance, and will take
any mean advantage to give him annoyance.
If his victim has the misfortune of having
to part his hair with a towel, he will rally
.his forces and make the sensitive expanse Of
the bald cranium a regular parade ground.
He will pounce upon a man while he is
helpless in a barber’s chair, with his arms
swathed beneath half a dozen yards of calico,
and the perilous edge of the razor at his
throat, and will harry him almost to distrac-
tion. He will catch his victim in the act of
trying to take a. nap, whether in the morning
as a fringe to the disturbed slumbers of the
night, or after dinner as arestoration from
the cares of the day, and with maddening
ingenuity will keep him from the desired
boon, and bring 'him to a state where he is
ready to accept the counsel of Job's wicked
wife.
And what are the consequences of the life
of iniquity pursued by this depraved insect?
Is there' retribution adequate to his offenses
prepared for him either in the this world or
the world to come? On the theological
branch of this inquiry we shall not presume
to offer an opinion, but we are sure that he
never comes by his full deserts here. He is
idle, dissolute, gluttonous, pestiferous and
tormenting, and yet he seems to pass his
life gayly, free from care or trouble, and
defiant of all laws, human and divine. He
even defies the law of gravitation, and trav-
els with equal ease in any direction or on
any surface not smeared with some treacher-
ous stickiness. Apparently, he enjoys com-
pletc immunity from tlic'retribntiou which
his conduct deserves, except when he is en-
trapped through his insatiable appetite into
sloughs of poison or intricate traps from
which he never escapes alive. We believe
it is a fact that he never dies 3 natural death.
NO one, ever knew a fly to be stricken
down by disease or to linger under medical
treatment. Fevers and headaches are to
him unknown, and he breathes contagion
with perfect impunity, He sometimes fails
a victim to his invincible curiosity or in-
satiable appetite, and is scalded in tea,
drowned in milk, or smothered in molasses,
and occasionally he is crushed or slaughter-
ed as a penalty for his temerity, but he
never dies of sickness or old age. Bari-ing
accident or violence, the fly is practically
immortal, a perennial nuisance, a’ standing
example of total depravity, without, so far
as we know, the eternal punishment which
is its proper corollary.

What Kissing Really is.
He was fresh from over the range, and
had just stepped in to get the latest news.
He listened attentively to Jim while relating
his experience the night previous with his
“solid girl!" at'a kissing fray, when, with a
sneer of derision, he opened his mouth and
said: “Oh! talk about kissing? Go away!
Ihavc kissed in the North; Ihavc kissed
in the South; I have repeated the soul stir-
ring operation East and West; I have kiss-
ed in Texas and away down in Maine; I
have kissed at Long Branch and at the '
Golden Gate—in fact, it every State of the
Union; in every language and according to
manners and customs of every nation; I
have kissed on the Mississippi and all its
tributaries; but young man, for good, sound
kissing, give me a full fledged Caribou girl.
When you feel the pegs drawn right through
the soles of your feet from your boots, that’s
kissing, that is.”—Denoer Col. Mirror.

The chief American export to Japan is pe-
troleum. The first direct consignment was
in 1870, when $600 worth was sent to Yoko-
hama. The trade has been steadily growing,
and it amounted in 1877 to the sum of some
one million of dollars ; it reached in quantity
366, 639 cases to Yokohama, and 128,158
gages to Hioga, which had never réceived any
