that, while in the east, destructive stOrms
may be raging, there, under the very‘
shadow of the mountains, the days are
bright, clear and delightful. Sunshine is
the rule and not the exception‘ But as
the main object of this drive is not so
much for viewing Colorado Springs as‘ it
is to visit the Cheyenne canon, our atten.
tion will hereafter be given to that subject.
The drive to this canon is very fine,
across the open prairie, From 0 ilorado
Springs the Cheyenne mountain looms into
view. as it 'etahdi‘out very prominent just
at the point Where the mountain r'atige
leaves its northerly and southerly, course
and recedes westerly for a few miles be-
fore resuming its southerly direction.
Being near to us, its natural massiveness
is enhanced more especially as there are
no intervening foothills to prevent it’s
majestic height from being seen to the
best advantage. Trees-are growing on
this mountain, giving it a beautiful green
appearance even up lo the summit. The
top of this mountain is distinctly‘eeen
with the naked eye from D. liver. although
the distance is eighty 'mlles. - 0d a near
approach to it the road passes through .3
forest of pines, and commences the wind
ing course so characteristic of all canons,
while the small, sparkling, bubbling
stream directs the roadway. On cilch
side rocks rise high in the air, and nar-
rower grows the pathway between them.
while trees are seen growing wherevel
. soil can be found Suddenly a large open
space appears, perhaps 150 feet wide,
and here is a small house, with rustic
seats in different parts of the space, Whllt'
an open gateway at the side of‘ the build-‘
ing conduc s to the canon, or rather the
gorge. This is a fine picnic ground as
there is plenty of shade. At this house
refreshments and cigars may be obtained.
Pea-ling through this gateway, two road!
appear. each offering inducements equal,
to the other. The drivers are accustom
ed to take the one to the right. and claim
it to be the beat, and as our' party know
nothing of the comparative merits of
either, the drivert are left-flu their/owl-
choice. The gateway to ibisgorgeimpli a
an ownership of the cation. and should
arailway everbe mule through it, this
property may have a large cash valuation.
Yet a slower ride through such a place as
this, afi'ords a better opportunity for ex-
aminiug nature's wonderful scenery, its
the horses draw the carriages up the steep
grade, with ocean anally a bill-to descend
and the little stream to be frequently
crossed. The beautiful pine trees are
grooving luxuriaatly on the sides of most
of the-hills which are not all rock, and
" many of these from their light abhde _ of
. color and glistening foliage are called the.
silver pine. Winding around great rocks.

appearance of a house finished With the

in «ch seamed and broken as we go on,
while ahead is a rack shooting up high it
the air, and which causes Ill to make a
turn at nearly a right angle. That is
called Gbservation iock, and a grand 0p
portunity that would be for making an
observation, but staircase it has none, and
it would be troublesome to find a ladder
thatt'could reach its summit. It looks as
if it was the tall chimney of some factory
left among the ruins of the building which
had been destroyed Many of these rocks
assume strange forms. and with some
litlle stretch of the imagination might be
conjured up into fantastic appearance.
The rocks in this canon are granite sand-
aton‘e, as it is called, and are of a reddish
tinge, which, when the'light shines upon,
them fairly, presents a beautiful scene
The road suddenly terminates at a place
where. the clear and sparkling stream is
caught inarocky basin, from Which it
' suddenly turns 01 to find more room fhr
its onward course. By clamberihg over
som‘e small rocks a trail'is continued on
for some miles; but in this place we stop
and all get out of the carriages. Close by
us is another carriage with the horses re-
moved from the vehicle, and the visitors
are ehj lying themselves by sitting on the
ground, around a Well-spread table made
out of the rocky floor, and. judging from
the quantity of watermelon rinds scattered
around, one might be led to suppose that
this luxury was attainable without much ‘
cost; and certainly it is so, for at the.
stores in Denver nice melons can he
bought very reasonably. “That,”_ said
the driver, “is what you should have
done, and‘had your lunch put up for you

He began the invasion of Giorgia on the
2 .d ul May, 1864, making his advance
movement at the same time with that of
General Grant in the east. His forces
were superior in number to those of tie
Confederate general, who, however, stun-
burhly contested the stance at every
possible point. There Was much hard
fighting between the mo" armies and it
was not until September 2d, that Atlanta
was captured by Maj chneral Sherman ,
but then n’ewly tppuiniedto this rank.

with rank, luxurious vegetation. Then
some buildings have to be put up, and
there also is the trouble and expense of
evicting squatters, who are generally to-
bé found in abundance on desirable land
in Florida. The expense for land isreal- -
lyasmallpartofthecost of starting, an '
orange grove, and the reason that so
many people fail in the business of orange
raising is that they start with too little
capital. A young man with a few hun-
dred dollars will go down there and think
that, because he can get his land cheap,
he has money enough to start a grove on,
but he generally finds out his mistake.
Beside the expenses of which I have spo-
ken there is the expense of labor, which,
although labor is cheap there, amounts
‘ toconsiderable, and the cost of subsis-
tence for the orange grower and his
family—eff he has one—all of which count
up. It will be two years before the
orange trees—provided he is fortunate-
enough to get land that has wild orange
trees on it, and grafts them—will yield
marketable fruit, and all this time he has
to incur the expenses I have mentioned.
When his trees get to bearing he .must
find a market for the oranges, and, un-
less he can be fortunate enough to sell
them on the trees, he is at an expense
— for transportation. Having once got
fail-1y started in the business, however,
the expense is exceedingly small as com-
pared with the returns, and a fortune can
be made unless the orange grower is un-
fortunate with his trees. A young man
must a up his mind to endure some
deprivations. If he goes into the un-
settled part of Florida, as he would have
to do if he got his land cheap, he must
confine himself to the society of the negro
aquatters and possibly one or two other
orange growers two or a dozen miles
distant. He must school himself to view
without emotion a snake dropping from
the roof on his dinner-table, or some wild
animal sitting on his front door-step. If
he is fond of beef and milk he will find
that he might as well sigh for-ortolans
and truffles. However, if a young man
has grit and energy, and combines with
those requisites sufficient capital, he can
make a fortune as easily and surely by
tum-ting an orange grove in Florida as in
any other way the world afi'orlls.

A. POLICE COURT AT CAIRO.
, The prefect and his deputy. were all-
rayed in black coats and trousers, white
waistcoafs and patent boots. But they
sat, as‘their predecessors sat a thousand
years ago, cross-legged on the divan.
Litigants came up without formality,
kissed' their knees or their hands, accord-
ing to rank or favor, bent,«- with hands
folded in their sleeves, to declare the
gnevan' co volubly, answered abrief, harsh
question, and took the verdict helplessly.
Cases lasted on an average, two minutes
each, asnearasIcouldtime it; and all
the while men came and went in the little
room, talkm' gmostly in high, quarrelsome
tones. If any one present was struck
withanobservation, he offered it casu-
ally, and his worship listened. After dc-
livering judgment, always preceded by it
gruntof general dissatisfaction. he clapped .
his hand, and a soldier rushed in at full ‘
gallop, holding up his sword. Forth-
With‘the parties retired to discuss maf~
tors warmly outside, in full hearing of the
court. A matrimonial difficulty referred
to the authorities lasted but four minutes
by the watch. A thin, peaking man
looked the husband. while the wife, so
far as one could judge by eyes and nose,
was verry pretty. The gentleman told
his tale, the purport of which-I could not
gather. The lady turned red to the tip
of her little nose, and her eyes flashed.
She took up her parable vehemently and
sternly. The prefect asked further ex-
planations of. the-husband, who turned
very pale. He l"ound nothing effective to
reply. His worship pronounced in a sin-
gle phrase, the galloping soldier appeared,
. and ofi' went the pair. I asked of an oflio-
ial who spoke English if the man was go-
ing to‘prison.
“No,” said he; “he go home."

Fort St. George and grandfather of the

sum of £10,400 for it. Its acquisition,
however, brought scanty pleasure to its
new owner; for so terrible was his ner-
vousdread of being robbed, that, during
the seven or eight 1 years in, which it re-
mainedinhis possession, his life was a
perfect burden to him. He took the
most extraordinary precautions for its
safety, never sleeping twice consecutively
in the same house, and never announcing
his arrival or departure beforehand.” Be-
