Beoutiful Socnery--Manners of the Peasantry---A Legend. Speclal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 10, 1873, ‘Wo spont somo little timo iu Balzburg and the boautiful district about it, taking n short tour by onrriago to the Koonigsseo, Halloln, Gollelg, Gastoin, and Roichonhall; and, as this reglon of country, though most charming, is not much visited by Amoricans, I thought porbajs your renders might bo intereated in hearing about somio of its beauties. - We bad a good carringe, 8 good Gorman driver (Ruport was his namo); o littlo dog, somowlint like n Bootoh tersier, Lolonging to Rupert, nn}l sharlung his glasa of beor with him ; and o pair of horsos which woro very good, oxcopt that oua of them had overy day ono fit of kicking, ata timo when he thowght ho had traveled long onough, or perhiaps toward the eud of asteep hill, whiop ho felt tired and cross. It was a Li¢ tlo peculinr how Lo acted iu this way every day ; and thon, aftor kicking a while,—not viotently, Dut onough to show s objection to going far- ther,—bo would bo pucified again and go onm, Buch wns our outlit, Wo traveled with littlo bagyage, and put up at the queorest litélo Gotman inns possible to be imagined. There pro some vory plonsaut things about traveling {o this way through Germauy which are not to be mot with sverywhere, one of which {a the CORDIALITY AND FRIENDLY GOOD-WILL of the poople. Thoy do not treat you lke a atrangor. Almost cvorybody eays * Good-day"" to you, at least; and most life their hats, and Dot and smile, in a really Bociable manner, You aro bowing constuntly na you ride over tho most ficquented ronds, justna if all the population wore your most intimite friends. At one inn wo stopped at, the girl who waitod upon us camo nod shook hands with overy momber of the patty when wo loft tho Liouso ; and ouce n little, Jolly, round-faced boy, not over 4 ox 5 yoars old, came runuing up to us in a villago-utreet, and, not satisfled with smiling, and bowing, and shaking hauds, actually kissed the hand of one of the party. I meution these littlo things aa giving somo indication of tho warm-heartednoss sud gonial spitit of the penenntry hore. I should think thoy would Lo genial and hoppy, Hving in such valloys se these, It sooms hard to beliove tbere can bo auy more valleye in the world quite 8o oxquisite as theso are. Thove aro fields of grass vivid with the decpest omerald groen, Thore.nro flolds of wild flowers, of purple, and red, and yellow, sud white, aud blue ; the most lovely violets in rodigal ern(uulon, go that you can pluck them gv tho banafull ; the most perlect forget-me- nots aud blue-bells in their graceful beanty. I never eaw anywhere such profusion of wild flowers. Somo fields seem in tho distance quite yollow, othors_pink, others whito, and others agaw purple, while some aro beautifully varie- guted. Add the dnzzling greon of tho grass, aud tho silver groen of the waving rye, tho dark, slosey imues of the distant pine-trced, aud tho ght ‘aud shade which tho luating clouds throw aver them all, aud & more BEAUTIFUL MOBAIG PAVEMENT for theso temples of Nature could scarcely bo imogined. Yet, boautiful as it is, it is only tho pavement. Grand mouuntains, with lowering peaks, riso all sround. Bomo aro gnow-clad, sud loir crosts ghtter in the brigat noonday, or catch the soft tmts of the suusct. Othors rear awful procipices of rugged rock to dizzy hoights, and eomotimoy thoro is only room between their mausive walls for the rushing stream and the narrow road which winds beside it. Thore wers on our route sovoral mag- micont passes of this description, as grond, I thiuk, 08 aimost anything in Switzorland. Otlier monutaing, ngain, ave clothed with dark, gluomy Torests of ginut pines, aud firs, and_hemlocks, oftering & fing contrast to the rocks aud the enow, As the rond turns bither and thiiher, the scone ig ever cisuging. Now, tho suow-clad crost of a distant mouutain 1ises into the blue right over & hill whose slopes are covered with rich mosdows of smuling greon. Now, o great, recipitous cliff rises from your vory feet to rmighv.- far above the clonds, aud you seo its whole giaut shape, from baso to sumuwit, at ono glavce, Then, again, the wooded and tho grass- Covered bills, the rushing rivers aud green glades, the scattered rocks, ud tho picturesquo chalots and bamlets, are ever combiuing in pie- tures of BURPASSING WOODLAND AND LOWLAND DEAUTY. Everything seems Jiko a picture, or 8 scono from & romputic scory. The bouses, the queer churches, the littlo bits of chapels Dy the road- pide, the numberless crucifixes, somie of grest gize, aud aimost ghastly and horrible, which fairly line tho way, the memorials—ithor a oross or & picturc—ercctod whera somo accident has happeucd, the costumes of the pouplo, all aflord constant vanety and intercst, snd com- bino to make the ride always chmiming, One hardly over sech & chalet or & houds without & roligious pioture upon it, or & verse from the Bible, or somo |es in praise of the groatness aud power of tite Creator. Lvery hamlot has ity church with a picturcequo bLoll-iower. Strange places they wro, with their littlo grave-yards, whero each grava bas a black cross planted upon Tt 5 and with their images snd tinsol ornamonts, inside. They nre alwaya silent and desorted, save, perchanco, by ouo or two pesusuts ina corver, vecuntly telling over thoir beads, aud they do not seem at all liko suy other churches. Then THE HOTELS ARE S0 FUNNY; bucels, 1 suid,—they are really diminutive tav- erus, gonerally with: the stablo right underneath or cloeely connected with the main building, al- ways with dogs and sundry other snimals rosm- iy around the premiscs, Tho linon te geuer- ally fauitlogsly noat, though, and overything ia olean aud nice, and the beer and coffeo oro ex- ccllent. The other things are not so good. Veal is the staple meat, and you canuot got much else, aud vegetables aro acarco, Tho Ger- mans do not eeom to eat mavy of thom, Home- timos wo had amuaing expericuces of utter fail- ures in the way of diuners, when overything wont wrong, and it waa impossiblo to make a de- cent meal ; thou again we would be surprised to find things remarkubly good, even in tho most umnviting-leokiug pluces, But I muss meution & fow of the places of in- térest uu tho route.

Tho poassniry aro deoply attached to_thelr grand mountains and beautiful valloys, and thoy can tell you all sorts of WILD LEGENDY and stories about them. Thero is ono logend in particular, about the Untorsberg, which Rupert, our driver, told mo, X wish Xcould give 1t in his Ianguags, which was quite etriking and plobur- eaque, Mo pointed up to the dark mosuce of rock whoro tho clouds woro just rising, and said : “You see, sir, up yonder whore tho cloud rises, are eitting the two groat Emperors, Knrl dor Grosso, and Friedrich (Barborossn), They are sitting inelde tho mountuin, Onoday throopoor musicians had been playing in Salzburg, sud in thia hittle village hore, sir ; but they had obtain- ed nothiug.

The Kings seked the musiciang it thoy _ would lay, and they _eaid thoy would right willingly. So they played almost all tho n) glm and tho Kings' daughtors dauced, and they enjoyed thomselves most | morrily, Prosently tho strange man told them it was timo to go, and thoy asked what roward they should have for so long playing, sud the King ordered that tho brauch of a troo, with lonyes and twigs upon it, should be given to onch one, Aud they wero very indignant at such ¥nltry pay; but, nevertheless, there wae no help or it, 80 c{my went spgrily away.

He usid some did and eome did not; o to him- 80lf, ho was a little inclined to doubt them. ———— THREE LETTERS, Portraying tho IRisc, Progress. and Eallof the Celebrated Canteen Asvurs nnce Association, BY THE PRESIDENT THEREOF, THE PROGRESS OF THE CANTEEN ASSOCIATION, NO. 2, “ BouRnoNvILLE, Tll,, Aug. 26, 1873, We mot, by call uv tho President, this mornin, to doterm{no tho question of salarics, commish- s uns, brokerago, aud sich, When L say tce, T ‘mesn, uv couruo, tho oflicers, The policy-hoid- ors hev nothin to do with sottlin thom quustions in other sich companies, and Wo K00 no reason why thoy should in the Cauteon. The first biz- nis wuz to figger up wat_our probsble receipta woud ba, Et we kopt 100 members 8t 256 conts each per wook, the rocelpts wood bo oggsackly $1,300 a yoor. This wo bed a8 a basis to go o, It is well, s tho Canteen plan, to hov o basis to 0 on, ¥ Wo votod ourselves ealaries, 8z follows ; President—§500 per annum, Socretary—£300 per annum. Troasurer—$200 por aunum, And, in addishun to this, wo votod that on_all the business comin in we shood be entitled to not less than 83 per cont a8 commishun, And wo voted that the salarios bo paid weekly, Wo toolk, out uv the $25 we hed in hand, 83 por cent commishun, £8.83, which left $16.67. Then wo wos n goin to take $10 for my woek’s salary ; tho Becretary $6, andthe Treasurer $4; but, as thoro waznt,money enuil intho treasury to pay this, we decided that, in justis to the poliey-holders 40 s to koop thio concern cloar uy dabt, we wood onl’v tako 20 per cent for commishuns. We sin't o goin to run tho Canteen in dobt, ef olose fggerin and sooperhuman egou- ersbun will keep it clear. On this baaiu we did hey 67 cents left, aud 08 it wuz too little to go to Ciucinuati o, wo Eoutponed puttin anythun in the barl till wo #hood get mure mem- bers and more money. ¥ But how will this look * says the Becre- trry. “ An empty barl looks jist as full as a full ono"sez T + % the polley-holders will see the barl and be satisfied, They cant assertane auy- thing till the Canteen period expires.” * But sposo they shake the Larl ?* * ko barl will be apiked down o that it ennt bo shook. Thore's got to be solidity in this in- gtooshun, Jest poura littlo whisky about the bung-hole, so that thoy'll emell 1t, and it will bo allrite. A smoll is all the policy-holdets got in the most of tho instooshuns after which we ‘model, and a smoll will satis{y em horg.” Uy course the board uv officers displayed great activity. * Wehed to got now bizness, so that by the time tho flrat Cantoen period arrived we shood hey suthin in the barl to show, aud wo succeodod, Tho plan looked 60 nice and inno- cent, that it wos no trouble at all to ropo in the outsiders, and we did it lively. A -.guartor o weok to ench uv em waz nuthin. ‘When the memborship reached 200 we doter- mined to fill the barl. I wuz selected to go to Cincionati 'to buy the likker, and I went and ‘bought it, doductin, uv course, 25 per cent for my commishun. It is understood in our Board that we don't expect nothin to be done for nothin, The likker come all rito, and wos poured into tbe barl, aund two buckets uv water added, that it mite bo as full as possible.

We drawd off overy day a quart aploce fur oach ofli- cer, flllin through the bung with water. Tlus, wich wuz our resorve, we put into a kog, wich wo kept hid in the bushes outside the oftice. n case this process shood be diskivered and any onpleasant results como from it, we hed our Consultin Actoonry draw up & puper directin us to do it, and certityin that it was necessary for the proteckstiun of the yolicy-holders, This we hold in reserye eo 48 to bo peivided agin the im- portinont aud inquisitive inquiries uv ignorant people, who dont know what {s strictly necossa- ry in those mntters. It is troo, wo each drink up our . quart every doy, but of any troublo shood grow out uv it wa kin pint trinmphontly to the barl in wich it wuz, But nothin uy that sort will Lappen. {Phio main barl is all that wo bov to keep iu sito, and that is put up 8o high that none uv em kiu gee in the bung, and pever kin toll how much thore is inat, One man ald want £2 know suthin about it, but 1 arsoomed a hawty look. 8ir!" god I, *'tho report uv the Directory will moke its sppearance in doo timoe, when the burl will bo gauged, and the quantity in it do'c'lnmd.

Tow por- Hons wero in tho etroots in that neighborhood at that timo, but many wore in thoir oflicos buried deop in thoir own' affairs, and walting for the commencoment of activo oporations in tho Btock Exchange and Gold Room. As_oorly as balf-past 9 o crowd of brokors hnd alroady agsombled iu front of tho Blook Ex- chiange, Yow catriod umbrollas, proferring to hovo 1L uso of thoir nnda o add omphusls t0 thelr words.

All wero nervous and fldgety, and manifostod tholr IEPATIENOE TO KNOW TIE WORST. The quick-footed mossengor boys seomed to sbaro the feoling, and loungad around in a list- loas way. The rain pourod down, but this did not moo the throng which waited tho opening of tho great doors. At longth tho doors were swung open and tho crowd surged In, “'I'ho wide-awuka doorkeepors kept n sharp lookout that nono but those who lind o right to be thore entered. men wero roon on the floor whero so many for- tunes have becu won and lost, yellhxf at the top of thoir voices, and frightoning tha fashionably- attired Indies and gentlemen who looked down upou them from tho gallery. The brokers ran against onoh other in their madness and scemod about to como to blowa; but thoy always held tiglt to their momorandum bboks and poncils, sud dushed on, scowingly looking for_somebody or somothing fimy could not find. the presiding oflicor taken his scat boforo tho gnvel sounded aud tho brokers looked toward ho rostrum and eaty tho troublod countensuco of their Cunirman, 'and s lettor which Lo held bo- foro him, 'Thoir toronms consed for o moment, ond then thoy honrd that White, Dofrcitas &: Rathborno had suspended.

Tho room rarg with cheers. Hats wore thrown in the air, and_general good feeling prevailed. In all kinds of stacks nt the oponing thero was o declino, Bliortly aftorword prices rallied and then fell, and tho fight waxed hot and flerco. Enrly inquiries woro made in regard to the Lon- don market, 88 it was thought that this would afford o key to tho courgo of affairs biete, - Cable dispntchen” roported American securities ex- tremoly nctive, and tho new five-twenties fluc- tunting wildly, Rumors of all kinds were atlont, and’ evorybody was sbaky.

About 11 o'clock they wero chiecked in their ravings by the beat- ing of the gavel, and, with conntonancos covered with porspiration, they moved rapidly toward tho rostrum saying : ** Here's another." 5 ANNOUNCEMENT OF FAILURES, Vico-Presidont Mitcholl read a note from u- eno J. Jackson, of the late firm of Polhemus & nckeon, who _declared his inability to moot bis obligations, With wobegone looks the brokers turned to start the din- suew, but searcely hud. one yoll eucaped them boforo the gavel fell auain nand the sunouncement of the falure of Fisk & Hatch was made. Thia foll like a thunderbolt smong tho brokers, many of whom mnde Laste to gat into the stroot and astonisly tho idlers thoie with tho news. Confusion reigned supreme on the floor. Bome threw off their hats aud rap bareheaded arouud the room, yelling like Comauche Indisns, The mwessengors shout~ ed in vain for brokers whom thoy wisbed to sce, and some of the ladies in the gallery put thoir fingors in their cars. One terribly excited emull-gized man with a big bank-book in ono hand ond his bt in tho othor, ran in and begau to wcresm something that sounded vory much liko “Holp me, Smith; belp ma Smith,” but on inquiry it was loarned that ho was calling for L. I’ Smith, About this time the sunouucements of fail- nres were made 8o rapidly that the brokers had littla timo to snarl and shake thoir lists at ench othor. Whittemore & Anderson, Boors & Ed- wards, Thomas Reed & Co., W, H. Warron & Co., GeorgoB. Alloy, aud Greoulesf, Norris & Co, wera read off as smoug the depnrted, aud tle oxcito- mont was intouso. Brolkers woro at a loss what to do, wheu the Vico-Prosident, Moses 11, Wheel- ock, with tho giace of a Chesterfleld, bowed to tliem, and calwly takiug Lis seat began to rend the Sun, but just then the bulls and bears SET UP A GREAT BHOUT. Somo were satisfied thut the wholo stroct hnd gone, and snid 8o in toues that might have been heurd some distance from the Stock Exchauge.

In an in- stant ho way haunnering with the gavel at a tremendous rate. He then aungunoed ‘the fuil~ ure ol A, M. Kiddor & Co., Smith & Seaver, "I\ Berdell, Way & Warner, and Vernam & Hoy' in rapid succossion, and tho samo sceucs wore ‘re-euncted. Ocensiounlly the Western Union en or tho Wavush crowd set up a yoll and tossed their hots about, but, upon bolug quos- tioned regraing tho romson of this outburst, thoy could give no intethgiblo auswors. Tho Vice-President thon took lus hat and wmbrella aud vacated tho chuir to Yice-Pronidont Miteboll, who wtched the brokers eagorly and spoke hur- riodly to the telegraph operators noar bum, BUIEELLED WITIS FAILULES, Bhortly after noon Vice-Lresiuent Aitchell an- nounced tho failures of Fitch & Co., aud Duy & Morse, By thia time it had becomo bn old soory aud tho brokers paid littlo nttontion to wlat tho Vico-Presidout said, 'Thoy wanted to dispose of stucks, A fow quiot, clear-Lieadod mou were on tho floor, nud they wero tho Luyors, Datcher, Sorweuly of this city, but now of Philadolplua, who, it 1 said, always turus up fn the New York Ktock Exebangio when thore is a panio, investad largely, and, iv the lunguuge of some of tho brukers who feaicd to put themsolves furward, *eoined mouofi." E Every ouo who wont from the building was mot by un oxcited throng and asked whother any other firm bad succumbod. Delmonivo's il Beholdler’s und all tho salouns fu the neigh- burhuod wore jutnmed, aud the drenched gnd uutlews brokora ran in and, talung u hosty driuk, hurtied buck to tho Btuck Exchuuge to assist in the general confusion, Vieo-Prosidont Wheeloclk rouurned shortly bofore 2 as happy aa_ever, aud took lus seat, A youug man handed him a noto, and wlieperod sometning in his ear, Then the Vice-Ptosidont brought the gavel into use once more, mxl road the uote of W, X, Connor, why ushod “that ho might bo added to tho Hat of “dond ducks,” A decldod utiv was occusionod when, & lew minutos luter, tho Vico-President rewd tho lottor of 1, D, Ruudolph & Co., rogrots ting; that thoy must suspend paymonts, * Run- dufj, that's TOM BCOTT'H MAN,” b oxcitedly, 3y God, who'snext ¢ ' Hold up,” oriod sviie one noar him, looking / #aid & broker, ji& i Tho drenched Hardly had’ nt tho alack, which ludicated 21¢, ** thora's plonty of timo for many more,” and” thoso around him thought so, too. Bl there was tho pamo une anrthly yolllng, tho pama slamping, and shoving, and smashing of liats, and whint was strangox atill in all the nolso and bustle, the unrufiled Vico-Presidont, who rond hls newspapor with supromo sotisfaciion, as much at onoe a8 though in o quict palor. Telograph oporators, tived and wearied, with note-books in haud, wont [nta the thickest of the mob and quiotly withidrow ta tholr instruments. Messongers tow in and out and mado themsolves heard, and the persons in the gallory wondered whon the curtnin wonld drop, Tliore was one moro firm's name to ba added to tho list of unfortunates, and thal wag Jacob Little & Co, Tho aunouncemont added littlo to the excitomont.

Many brokors, ine deed, biave declared that gold speculation is pere manently dond, oxcopt #o far as it is kopt alive by the nctual requirements of commerce. Buf yostorday tho excitement was at least o good simulation of that which provailed in the Stock Exchango. The doors were oponed precisoly nf 10 o'clook, nnd $00 brokers ponred futo tho dronry, ill-koptroom. No timo was lost, Tho littlo irons fonced fountainin thosunken contro was instantly surrounded,and the bidding commencod, *Twelve and an eizhth for five thousand” was the flrs distinguishablo offor. Gold had elosod tho night beforo at 11834, and this slight drop at tho atard atultified the goneral propheecy of ariso. The brokers yolled aud shook their fists with rathos moro than the customary vim, but algnn of ap+ prohension were unmistaknble, ‘*Thoro ain'l nothing to holl onto " was one and a verv good dofinition of tho fecling among tho operatora, During tho first half hour sales wore mado at Rm, and the Lalf cent was gota littlo bofora At about that time the Prosident rend & note from George Opdyke & Co., denying tho rumor of thoir failure.

Tho brokors lunghed & littlo at this, and thon grow soberly expectunt ns the Prosidont hold up & udto and prolmmd to read it: * Owing to the widesproad Wwant of coufldonce caused by the failure ol well-kuown firms," rend tho President, ** und to advances mude by us to railroad companies, upon which wo cannot im- medintely realize, we aro unablo to meet the heavy domands upon us, nud are compolled to announce our suspension, The brokers broathlessly awaited the reading of the namo signed to tho note.” The perfec silence was in striking contrast to the provious uproar, After o puuse, the President read on: “Although we bavo no unsottled business with your Board, we tnke the opportunity of thus announciug the facts.” Again the brokers, and with more impatience n\vxflltufl the namo. < *Yours respect{ully,” concluded tho reader, “Didk & Tt 4 A prolouged whistlo from somobody was tha first audible recoption of the startling nows, and it was axactly oxpressive of tho goneral astonishi ment.
