GikeN Bav, Wis,, Auguat, 1874, Life i ploasnnt alinost anywhoro during the Jong, bright days of & ploasant summer-soason ; for no narrow bounds of brick aud mortar can altogothor shut out the bluo dopthe of a unl- varesl aky, or quite abkeure tha soft airs that will stray from the sunny haunts of Nature, But to combino nll in ono long, fair holday of weoks and months,—birds, flowers, puro sir, soh and sky, pleasant companiouship avd happy idlonesg,—oh | this, to o thankful, appreciative Theart, 18 a foretaste of the groou flolds and atill waters, the congeulalyouls aud blessad pursaity, of tho Summer-Land. And yot, to a cususl obsorver, the mame of this placo is & misnomor ; 17 13 NoT ‘' GREEN " in any #engo of vordnacy, so far as the eyo rooches in p first abeorbing gaze. The ‘streots aro white with sand ; the bLousea aro oither ‘brown by choico or ago ;- and the water is a vory docided bluo, The first viow of the town, when you omerge from the cars, gives you an improseion that it would bo tho purgatory ‘of gragshoppers; for on ono eido is & vast expanso of magnificont wwator- viowa; on the other wide, haudsome stroots, mncadamized and sidewalked, but white and gliatoning in tho sun, like etrips of silver. When I Jooked over tuo town, [ felt na if walk- ing on s map of tho world, where the next stop might land me fu another homisphore, so vast s the torritory of Groon Buy as it strotchies away in tho distance, flanked by Fort Howard, its faithful friend aud ally, and little Daopere, whore tho souls of tie faithful go toenjoy thom- selvos, It is & queer, quaint, delightful old town, 200 years old, with a Bay from which it takos its name,—= groat strotch of timbor-bor- dored wator, over which ships dovoted to com- merco earry valunblo freight, or pleasnre-yachta slim idly along; with numberjess lttlo islands, harbors, erecks, rocky points, green cliffs, or tiny peninsulas, inviting tho tourist or specula. tor to penotrate their saclusion, and find health, plensure, and profit, in their hoights and depthy, Apart from the elogant, eultivaied mon aud women wio form the socloty-world of Green Bay and the sdjacont villas, thore is a largo populn- tion of foreiguers. A great masy old French familios live here, ‘Cliese, in many instances, aro intermamiad with Indiang, thus produciog a raco of hnlf-broeds, who are a quaint, semi-civil- ized people, with a langusgo thut is a sort of pa- tois. TLeu there are tho’ Oneida Indinns, and the Belgiaus, and tho Mohawk Dutch, A painter will find MANY ETUDIES MERE: tho fair, pale face of the pure-blooded Saxon, the dark, haughty features of tho uative Gmfl' the swarthy ekin and high cheok-bones of the blenketed Chippews, and & clond of wituesses in tle ahiape of hybrids, If you loge your way, a8 1 did, and know ouly ono language, you aré o pitinble object, for thoe flrst porson you appeal to muy anewer, **Ich sprachen noin English ;" the noxt, ¢ Non comprohiend vas;” while tho third will give you the awful gutturals of tho Iroquois tongue. Those aro not tho lazy, thriftless red men that live upon chintity or by depredation, The Indiany hore work hard, and livo comforta-. iy on tho products of their labor. The white population of Groen Bay does not interfere in thoe least with tho penceful lives of the mon- arche of the forest, espocially as it is not sure ‘but thero may bo & streak of the sume red blood transmittod by an honored grandaire, and trans- muted by civilization into very bine blood ; sll of which gives a quaint. spicy chann to the placo. @recn Bay is 242 milea from Chicago, butit does uot seem 8o far, bocause thore is & constant daily intercourse kept up by the mails and nows- papers,—tho morning-papors reaching here at 8 in tho ovening, aud woro than half the people in Chicago do not read tholr moming-paper until they go home at night.
