CORRESPONDENCE.

[Concluded]

Left for Chicago on the 7:30 a. in. train and

arrived there at 5 p. m. Here I found a.

' prosperous city nine years old (dating from
the fire) with its solid granite, limestone and
' iron structures of the richest style of archi—
tectural beauty. We visited the following
places of interest: The Lincoln Park, on
the Lake, with its splendid drives, lawns and
flower beds, the water works with its power-
. ful engines for pumping water from the
crib, which is situated two miles out into the
lake. The larger of these engines is 1200
horse power with a stroke of 10} feet and a
pumping capacity of 2750 gallons per stroke,
or over 13,000,000,000 gallons per year.
There is a smaller engine of one-half this
capacity also in operation. The Palmer
House is the most elaborate hotel that I ever
saw absolutely fire proof ; the Board of Trade
which reminded me of the Gold Board in
New York city at the close of the war; the
new court house, built of Quincy granite and
of a very beautiful design. Also the Union
Stock Yards which cover three hundred
acres and where ten thousand cattle, hogs
and sheep are slaughtered daily. The Doug-
lass monument; a pretty'sliaft built of Quin-
cy granite; this is'a cylinder in form on a
circular base 140 feet around, with a stone

cofiin inside marked , g _ ‘

. Stephen'A._Douglass, -

Born April 23, 1813, died J line 8, 1861.
With the following inscription: ‘

“Tell my children to obey the laws and

uphold the constitution.”

This monument is 125 feet high with his
statue on top; this is' situated on the Lake
and only separated from it by the Michigan
Central Railroad. Also the Bessemer Steel
Works where wesaw the steel rails made
that are now girding the earth from North
to South and; from the Atlantic tothe' Pacific.
The steel is poured from the converter into-
the moulds which hold one ton each and
which serves to make three steel rails We

also attended the commencement- of the

Cook County Normal School, where the ex—'
ercises were exceedingly fine. We visited
the frame dwelling saved from the‘fire,which
swept a tract over lx‘miles wide, by 5 rr'les
long,'aud the only building saved in the
burnt district. This city . is destined to
eclipse anything west of the '.'city of New
York, and that not many years hence. '

Chicago. from the enterprise of its people,
from its centrality,»a_ndf from its beingjin

largest city in the world. ' '

July 2d, as I was on my way down
town, I heard that President Garfield was
shot. Believing it to be a ruscIdid not
give the rumor any credit, and proceeded to
the Tribune office where I learned the same

. to be true._ Here the excitement was intense,
and if Guiteau-‘cb‘uld'have:been got hold of he
would have been torn to fragments. Garfield
is the President of the nation and not of any
particular party and consequently a general
lamentatiou follows. ' ' V V' _ V ' -

On the 5th we, in company with our
cousins, Robert Clark and family, started for
Grand Rapids, Michigan; took the steamer
Chicago for Milwauke, and after making a
landing at Racine we were soon gliding up
the mouth of the Milwauke river; took a
carriage and rode about the cream city of the
West (50 named from the cream colored
bricks there manufactured and with which
the city is largely built). This is the most
pleasantly situatcd'cityI ever visitei. '

At 7 p. m. we took the Deperc, a screw
steamer, across the Lake, a. distance of about
a hundred miles, to Grand Havenon the
western shore of the State. After‘we had
been out on the Lake for about one hour a
heavy fog and gale set in and we began to
assume a pale appearance.- This blow lasted
for about an hour when it began to breathe
easier. After-rockiugin the cradle elf/Lake

From here we took the road to Grand
Rapids, which follo'wea,thc course of the
Grand River. This river was an immense
sea of floating timber which were being
floated down to the saw mills below. This

section of country from Grand Haven to
Grand Rapids is not yet fully developed,
being sparsely settled by foreigners. Here
our Chicago hosts left and we pursued our
journey to Detroit. . At Owasso we stoppeh
for a twenty minutes lunch which we barely
got into our hands when the bell rang and
the conductor yelled out f‘sll aboard." j The
farming lands through by this route are not
of the most prepossessing appearance.. Sel-
dom did we see a field of wheat over eigh-
teen inches high, and yet quite ripe and
ready for the harvest. "

We arrived at Detroit atabout 5 p. m. and
put Up at the Leeland House. This city
stands on a little "rise from the river
on which it is situated, and was the only
city we had seen as yet lighted with the
electric lights} *Saw the Post Ofilce, City
Hall, and the Soldiers’. Monument, the De-
troit Safe Company’s Works where 500 men
are employed—the largest safe works in the
world. .

Left Detroit via the Grand TrunkRailroad
for Toronto. The part of the state of Michi-
gan passed through by this road is by far the
best farming lands in the State. After cross;
ing the St. Clair River, which was done by
sliding the try'r on- flat boats and tug-
ging them- over, we were called on by
Johnny Bull’s magnate to exhibit our tickets
that he might fix the royal eylet to them,
also our trunks and satchels had to be yawn
at henmajesty's demands.

Sarina and Stratford did not not impress
anything of particular importanceon us ex-
cept the half-baked waiter girls who officia-
ted at the tables in helping the half-starved

\ passengers to something to cat,and who were

exceedingly dumb to any requests of the
tourist except to take up all the money laid
down, slap it into the drawer and forget to
return the change. The crops in Ontario
were far better than any I saw in the States,
although later. .The firms were very clean
and neatly tilled. I think they were the best
cultivated farms I saw in all my journeyings.
One thing which attracted my attention both
in the Canadas and the States, was the im—
mense tracts of wood'rotting on the ground 6:
the trees in some places were three feet in
diameter, and I think it safe to say that we
saw 10,000 acres of these tracts of wood
crumbling away with decay.

full view of Brock Monument, erected 'to
mark the spot where the British General
Isaac Brock ,fell a victim to the American
forces, under Cob. Soloman Van Bensselasr,
on Queenstowu Heights, in the second war
for independence. .
After crossing this bridge we were again
called upon to exhibit our dirty linen to the
gaze of Uncle Sam’s dignitaries, after which
we were swept around the easterly side
across the terrace of the city of Buffalo into
the new Union Depot. From here we took
the two o’clock train for Troy over the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad,
the greatest business road in the United
States. This road is on a ridge from Buffalo
to Batavia, a place about the size of Nor-
walk, but with a great deal more thrift.
Rochester,thc next place to which we arrive.
is a rapidly growing place with large manu-
factories and extensive mills. Some splendid
farms are to be seen along the railroad to this
point. Palmyra is a thrifty town just off to
~the south of the railroad, the canal passes
through,it and in fact it is about parallel with
the road until you reach Albany. Syracuse
is a very flourishing city and is about equally
divided by the canal, therc‘beiug four wards
both above and below the canal. The lead-
ing attraction here is the salt works, covering
over 2,000 acres yielding 9,000,000 bushels
of salt per year. This salt is made botlr by
evaporation and steam, and the water so
evaporated is pumped from wells that are
from 300 to 400 feet deep. At the Cholrine
Springs there are sixteen of these wells and
all but three of them are in operation. For
want of space at this city, thesewaters are
conveyed in wooden pipes to drying vats at a
place called Liverpool. There are sliding
sheds built to slide over these vats in case of
storm. The logs' used sre‘mostly Pepreage
with a bore of from seven to twelve inches

pipes because of the salt rusting the iron,
whereas it preserves the logs. Near these
wells is a chlorine‘spring bath, and a popular
resort. These wells are owned by the State.
The manufacturer pays one cent per bushel
as a revenue. While here we visited the
new County Clerk’s ofiice, with not a splin-
ter-"of wood employed in its construction—
not even the desks and chairs ; said to be ab-
solutely fire-proof. ,

July 9th—Left Syracuse: at 9:45 a. m. for
Troy. The country passed through is gener-
ally good. Ulicu is a lively town, Rome is
an old one and so also is Schenectady. From
Syracuse to Utlca there were three seats oc-
cupied by satchels to the inconvenience of
.a half-dozen passengers who were finally put
to the necessity of. crowdiy themselves into
end seats rather than disturb » these leather
bags. There seems to be a special favor
granted to gentlemen who indulge in the
.weed. These smokers were holding each
two seats, one in person in the smoking car'
and one by Mr. Satchel (poor sole) in a first
class passenger car to the crowded discom-
fiture of the many.

The Mohawk River is by our side from

Rome to Albany. At Troy the baggage mas-
ter refused to check a bundle for us and I
inquired if there was any higher authority

that I could see in reference to the checking
or my bundle, and was simply told that “we

don't check bundles.” That was not what I '
wanted to know. I simply wanted to see a
higher authority than him, and was told that
the superintendentwas up stairs, to whom I
submitted the matter and the checking was
done at once. So in this I'ler rned that a lit-
tle persistency was necessary to get through
the world even after paying all the demands
at the outset.

.- Arrived in Troy at 2:30 and left at 5:30 for
North Adams, Mass. This distance is along
the base ot mountain peaks by the side of
Hoosac River and is noted for its picturesque
scenery. At Hoosac Falls is the Mowing
Machine Works of W. A. Wood & 00., who
employ 1400 men. At Pownnl,just beyond,
we are in the state of Vermont. Arrived at
North Adams at 7:30 where we put up at

the Wilson House, which was named after
A. B. Wilson, the inventor of the sewing

machine.

NorthAdams is a beautiful little village

sit the base of the Hoosac Mountains, and is

completely hemmed in on all sides except at
its northern and southern extremities where

the Hoosac River enters and leaves the town.

The first business was to take our maiden

glimpse at the greatest human- achievement

of the‘19th century, viz., the Hoosac Tun-

nel. This great railroad pathway five miles

the commonwaaith of. Massachusetts, serves

New England in sending her vast productions
from her manufactoi-ies to the West, North,
and South, and also in receiving the wealth
of the farms and mines of the West and
South. . This tunnel was commenced in 1851
and completed in 1876: In its construction
ver 1,000,000 tons of rock were removed
and over 20,000,000 bricks used wehre arch—
ing became necessary. The Hoosac Moun-
tllln is a part of the Green Mountain range
extending through; the western part of

Massachusetts, and has up to this time (the

opening of the tunnel) formed a natural bar-

rier between the States of Mass. and New
York. There are two peaks directly over
this tunnel,one 1,718 feet and the other 1,429
feet above the roadbad of the tunnel, and
between these peaks is a valley through which
a river runs called Cold River, and on this

stream and over the tunnel is a saw mill of
considerable business.

The State became the owner of this
enterprise .by foreclosure, having loaned
$2,000,000 to the company. The contractors
with the State for the completion of this

work were Messrs. F. Shauley & Co., of
Montreal. The drilling in this tunnel was
done by compressed air, it having proved
successful in the Mount Cenis Tunnel under
the Alps between Italy and France. This
tunnel is seven and a half miles long and
was thirteen years in building, and where
nearly 1,000 lives were sacrificed in its con-
struction, while only 136 were killed at the
Hoosac. The n1tro~glyceriue used in the
construction of the tunnel was and still
is manufactured over the west end of the

tunnel about five hundred feet from the
mouth. The grade is about 65 feet to the
central shaft each way. There are tw0.
shafts—one central of 11,028 feet, the west
shaft of 318 feet; the central shaft is 15x27
feet. One half ~million pounds of nitro-
glycerine were used in blasting out the rock.
7 Tue construction line by the engineers was
established by the erection of signal houses
on other peaks eaSt and west of the Hoosac
mountain with two others on the peaks of
the mountain through which the tunnel
passes. Descending the western peaks
however familiar one may be with the finest
mountain scenery on the continent, he will
exclaim with delight at the striking beauty
of the scene that lies below and beyond. A
lovely green valley contains the village of
North Adams. The great grayish green hulk
of Greylock Mountain, the highest peak in
Massachusetts, rises across the valley. These.
are the chief features of the picture whose
charming details it would take long to de-
scribe. .

with the following inscription thereon:

“To the men of Boston who died for ‘

It is the most thoroughly

called Commonwealth Avenue. This Avc—'
nue is completed about one and one-half miles.
It has two drive ways, one on each side of a
handsome green lawn, studded with beauti-
ful shade trees, in the center of which is a
wide Walk fer pedestrians, at the crossings of
which by the streets are statues of some
prominent- individuals. The first of these
statues is Alexander Hamilton. We visited
the Public Garden, which was very hand-
somely laid out with walks, law as and flow-
ers.
Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, the Public
Library, and the Providence Depot, one of
the finest structures of the kind ever built,
also the Lincoln Monument, the Old South
Church, the statues of SamuelAdams and
John Winthrop. The Revere House, so
named after that patriot Colonel Revere, who
was a companion of the bold and brave Sam-
uel Adams, James Otis, and Joseph Warren,
men who had positive opinions and dared to
express them as to the Stamp and Tea Acts.

The site of the old Elm upon which the
supposed witch,Ann Hibbens, was hanged
was when blown down in 1876, 245 years old.
The Granary Burying Ground where a small
marble slab is all that marks the resting
place of the bold John Hancock, the first
signer of the Declaration of Independence, as
well as first Governor of Massachusetts, and
in another part of the yard is the tomb of the
great revolutionary patriot Samuel Adams,
and also the grave where repose the parénts
of Benjamin Franklin.

The great fire which occurred on the 9th
and 10th of November, 1872, about one year
after the great Chicago fire, burned over 65
acres of territory and destroyed 776 build-
ings, which with the personal estate amount-
ed to about $80,000,000.

Although the effects of the fire are still
felt and will continue to be felt for a long
time, the visible traces of it are almost com-
pletely efinced.

Music Hall, in which may be seen the
large organ with 5474 pipes and 84 complete
registers, cost $60,000.

The area of Boston has been increased to
double its original size by the filling in of the
flats surrounding the city.

Funnel Hall, politically known as the
“Cradle of Liberty,” was the gift of Peter
Fanuel; this was destroyed by fire 120 years
ago and afterwards rebuilt; it is 70 feet
square with 28 feet ceilings, entirely desti—
tute of seats and is never let for money. ‘ ‘

The Eastern States arenot so extensive in
the railroad enterprise. There is but oneac-
counting for this and that is that the land is
so level that you may lead a car with rails
and ties,.push it into the wild country and
construct as you go, while in the granite hills
of New England there are deep gorges
to arch, mountains to cut through, deep
rivérs to span, and consequently the money
required to construct a mile in central illiuois
would not finish a rod in the old Bay State.

We left Boston on the one p. m. train for
Providence and arrived at two p. in. Here
.we visited the new City Hall which is the
prettiest public building I ever saw, built of
Quincy granite with polished columns sup-
porting the entire inside on each story to the
top. In front of the City Hall stands the
Soldiers’ Monument, with the names of her
honored dead inscribed thereon in bronze.
We visited the old State House, the new
Court House, the Arcade, also some elegant
hotels.

The city of Providence is very handsomely
situated on the southern slope of a hill, with
excellent drainage and appears to be a very

healthy city. ' _
We left this city in the evening at 7 p. m.

by the steamer Galatea for New York, where
we arrived at about 9 a. m. the next morning.

In the afternoon we returned to old Norwalk

by the Adelphi, after having passed through

fourteen states and about forty cities and

travelling by rail and water 2,577 miles,

where we were warmly greeted by those we

had left just one month before. B. J. S.

. Trafficking in Gull’s Eggs. .
In Long Island Sound, five miles off the
Guilford shore,is a little island locally known
as Gull Island. It is perhaps 'a mile from
Faulkner’s Island, where Captain 0. N.
Brooks has kept that light for a period of

very nearly thirty years. His self-disregard-

lonely vigils in the lighthouse tower have
afforded him not only the timely discovery Hl'stm'g/ of Napoleon]
of wrecked crews and passengers but a
chance to observe some things in natural his-
tory. Gull Island, a little barren patch of
perhaps a fourth to half an acre, is the annu-
al breeding ground of thousands of socalled
gulls, not the true sea-gull but the'tern, com-
monly known as the gull on the shores of the

The fish thinks little of the bait when it feels

Young men are often led astray by the fine
names given to misconduct. It is good fel-

the whole tragedy that came after. The
thought leads to the look, the look to the
word, and the word to the act. Lewdness,
drunkenness, and theft are only the end of
perhaps very slight beginnings. He that
loses his way thinks he is going all rightly,
till it suddenly breaks on him that, indeed,
he is lost. If the story of a drunkard were
known, it would commonly show very innc ~
cent beginnings; pleasant evenings with
friends; first the sitting with men fond of the
bottle, then the tasting, and in the end the
liking it. Dishonesty very rarely begins by
intended theft; it is a loan at first; then it
can not be repaid; then it is not at once de-

from it. Along a precipice, the nearer the
wall the better. As the old proverb has it,
he that would not hear the bell must not

of snow, among the mountains, absolute
silence is enjoyed, least a vibration of the

into a depth goes far to make one leap into it.
“The worst figure of misfortune,” says
Carlyle, justly, “is misconduct.” The blue
summer skies of the soul are when you look
up in the consciousness of a good name and
with a calm bosom. To avoid the one and
enjoy the other, distrust yourself. Pride
goes before many kinds of fall. Confidence
is rash; humility watchful. Bernand's say-'
iug is a good one, on‘ seeing some one forget

I tomorrow.” In war a wise general keeps
his force guarded by scouts and pioneers, to
warn and prepare if danger threatens, and no
approach can be made by the foe without
timely discovery and measures for defence.
Have like caution against deadlier enemies;
the temptations and ambushes of darkness,
and the ever threatening army of the world’s
desires. Let prudence, humility and princi-
ple throw out their watchfulsess before you,
and never trust in a fancied security. Youth
is heady and wilful, rash and petulant; so
much so that the Greek’s word for a young
man’s act stood also for an ything intemperate
and inconsiderate. As Lord Bacon puts it,
young men are like a ready horse, that will

they are foolishly stubborn in others. Safety

come short of your purposes, and walk softly.
It is presumption, not bravery, to skim the

in yourself. The stake is too great when it

“Respect the Burden."
A CURIOUS AND INGENIOUS POEM.
av .rouN srnnbenr, an.

, [* * * While the Emperor was convers-
ing with them (Las Casas and a couple of la—
dies), at St. Helena, some slaves, with heavy
burdens on their shoulders, came toiling up
the narrow path. Mrs. Balcombe, in rather
an angry tone, brdered them to keep back.

 

 

turned to Mrs. Balcombc, and said mildly:—
“ Respect the burden, llladamc.”—Abbott’s

That humble slave
Condemned to toil
From morn til eve,
To till the soil,
Or delve, maybap,
In some dark mine,
Giving his life
That we may dine,
Is due man’s hI gH (7 St mecd of praise

Or woman’s kindlier smile, to raise
His wearied, pining heart above
All earthly cares, in heavenly love.
And who is he so wealthy born
Who, when, thro‘ death, of riches shorn,
Can say, at his last hour, “I will
Reign master o’er my fellows stilll"

Nor Venus’ charms,

Nor quccnly dow’r,

Nor Crichton's gifts,

Nor Ciesur's pow’r,

Can save thy frame

From swift decay,

Which gives to life

But transient stay.

And what though we

Should live for years,

For long as e'cr

This world shall be,

What moots the span

Compared, at close.

To drifting Time’s

Eternal flows?

For on that Stream

Released souls glide,

For weal. or woe,

On every tide.

If, then, this truth we recognize,
The spirit lives, the mortal dies,

“Respect the burden” of the slave,
And his petitions yet shall save,
That master who, both wise and kind,
Observes the Golden Rule, shall find
The treasure sought for in that land
Where none corrupted e’er may stand;
But if tby sins are heinous, great,
And thou hast Charity—not hate,
’ This key shall ope the Gates of Doom,
Thy faults deepburied in the roam.

In a recent paper Mr. C. Shaler Smith has
given the result of extensive observations in
relation to the pressure exerted by the wind.
The most violentsto'rm'reeorded by him was
at East St. Louis, in 1871, when the wind
_ Overturned a locomotive, the maximum force
developed by so doing being no less than 93'
pounds per square foot. At St. Charles, in
41877, a‘jail was destroyed, the. wind force _
'required being 84 pounds to the squgre foot. .
..At Marshfield,'in 1880, a brick mansion was
leveled, the force necessary being 58 pounds
.per square foot. _ Below these extraordinary‘
pressures, Mr. Smith instances numerous
,cases of trains blown ofl rails, bridges, are...
fblown down by gates of wind of 24'tofd1;
pounds per square feet. In all the examples
,the lowest required to do the observed dam
age has been taken as the maximum'force of‘

' the wind, although, of course, it may have

been higher.

An extraordinary interest. is manifested in

'0. de Stefania and Vachetta have proposed a
modified method of application, from which
excellent results have aimed y been reported,
. both with men and animals. Their plan con-

sists in causing congestion'of the nerve cen-

tres and stimulating the heart so that it; may
resist'the noxious effects of the anaesthetic
agent, without diminishing insensibility. For
this purpose they employ alcoholics. They
have studied this method carefully in a large
number of experiments, and 'havejheeome
fully convinced that most ofthe dangerand
much of the inconvenience ruulfinx.zfrom
the use of anaesthetics may be avoided by
placing the patient slightly under the infill;-
euce of alcohol.’

The Rev. Dr. IIch has noticed a black
“carpenter ant,” which is capable of efiecting
great destruction in wood-work,fcontrary. to

. the general belief that ants outside of the

tropics are harmless practically. 'He has
seen a rafter in which this species, the For-
mica Pennsyleamba, bad penetrated,“ an
extent of five or six feet of' its 1en'gth,com-
pletely honeycombing it. It is evident
that such penetration of wooden structures, .
and especially bridges, might cause their dis-
astrous and unexpected fall.

One of the most decided impressions which
non-scientific people must receive from the
visit of the great comet of 1881 is that of the
ignorance of science concerning these mys-
terious visitan‘ts. was... they come or
whither they go are problems none can solve;
while unfulfilled predictions of the return. of

. certain comets show that calculationsin re-

lation to the motions. of these bodies partake
much of the nature of guesses. Withisll the
skill and telescopic penetration of'our as-‘
tronomers, they cannot yet trace the course
of the comet, which in 'a few days passes
across ' the immeasurable expanse of . space
‘viewed from this. earth and disappears in
the . depths beyond, to wander perhaps for
thousands of years before; completing the
cycle of its journey and returning to a: point
in its orbit near the earth.
. An enormous veleetro-magnet has been
made for the University of Griefswald. The
case is formed of twenty-eight iron plates
bent into horse-shoe shape and connected by
rings so as to form a cylinder eight inches
in diameter. The height is four feet, and
the weight [about fourteen hundred pounds.
Near-sightedness is increasing so rapidly in ‘

The stinging hairs of the nettle contain
