their Ufe-blood on Virginta’s soil, and do notaban- don fyi nunc. Remember that upon your vote depends the success of the Democratic ticket. That portion of the report which we now italicise, for there were no italics in the orig- inal, was given. special prominence by Northern journals, the New York Tribune and other. papers keeping it standing at the head of their editorial columns. No one in this community ever_questioned the correct- ness of the report. Democrats as well as Re- pubdlicans commented. particularly on -the speaker’s declaration that the principles in- volved in this issue were the same for which Lee and Jackson fought, and to this day no denial has. been made by those who were present and heard the sentences when they were uttered. The speech is now being nsed as acampaign document, and the New York Herald, to counteract its effect, pub- shes the following: The: spedch of Senator Wade Hampton at Staunton, Va.. on the 26th of July, has been aoe subject of much partisun animuaversion, an pretended quotations from it ‘have placed tho €x-Confedernte warrior in the unenviable light of encouraging the perpetuation of the extreme sentiments which led the Southern people into rebellion. ‘The only report of Gen. Hampton's ‘words’ that has recelved his personal indorse- ment is the following which be has inclosed to e editor of the Herald: thf Goolutions indorsing the Cincinnati platform and numinees having been adopted, ape, James Bomngarduer, Jr introduced Gen. Wade Hamp- , who said: enenps OF VirGINIA: I have responded to your call to be with you to-day, not only for the easun that my heart is enlisted in the cause which you advance, but also because I claim some ‘right to speak here and to Vir- inians. A hundred years ago my ancestor, A Virgiutan, left this State to fight the Indluns in South Carolina, and fell there. Nearly a century jater almost every malé descendint of his who could buckle sword came hither to tight and dic for Virginiaand Virginians. Do not.understand ‘that 1 cume here to dictate a policy to you or to advise you what you must do. Ruther am I here to consult with you asa Democrat, asa man, and as a: Southern soldier—as one who Jouks back to the time when he shared with you privations and suffering and defeat in the Army of Northern Virginia. Tam here to voice the earnest hope | feel, to utter the fervent prayer of my heart. that Virginia, the mother of States und statesmen, of herocs and patriots,—the State that guve the brain that conceived and the hand tbut penned the Declaration of Independence,— the State thut gave the sword that mude that sndependones pe re not prove recreant to it her trae lons. What iE Vininia's duty now? You hardly realize, my friends, how much. depends on the action of your State. You do not bring home to your thought what a responsibility you carry initis contest. We of the South, who, baving ‘Deen so long plunged into outer darkness, havo utiast emerged from the dirkness of despair and-earried forward our States to where they belong in the sisterhood, come to you “to-day and tell you that we mean victory. We intend to subordinate every selfish personal considera- tion; we intend to put away avery side issue: we intend to look solely and onty to the Demo- cratic platform and the Democratic standard- bearers, and, with God's help, we intend to win this fignt for that platform and for those stand- ard-bearers, Will Virginia, when we - have success Iu our very grasp; will men who were born free, men who were reared under tho doctrines of Jeiferson and Madison; will men who followed Lee and’ Jackson.—will you sacrifice the Democratic party, will you gacrifice the South, will you sacrifice the Na- tonal Government by aiding, indirectly though it be, to olect a Republican President? I cannot believe it. Renlize, if you can, what will follow a Republican triumph in November. You have all sean what strides that party has made toward centralization; you have seen your Judges stricken down'by the mailed hand of the Na- Honsl Goverment; you bave seen the Repub- lican party mass troops at your polls to overuwe ‘our free suifrage; you bave seen their Deputy Marshals, their Supervisors, their Returning Boards, the instruments to an overthrow of the last. vestige of Btate-rights. I tell you, my countrymen, the fate of the South will be harder than ever if the Republican party is suc- ceesfulin this campaizn. We shall behold no more free elections, no more untrammeled ex- pression of political sentiment, and no one of ‘us now living will everagain see a restoration of Democratic rule and principle. If we elect the Democratic nominees the Re- publican party will go to pleces like a rope of Sand. ‘Thsir mission 1s ended. if ther ever had a mission. There is nothing that holds them to- ether to-day save * the cohesive power of pub- Hie plunder.” Tae Republican party is the party of hate, the party of rank and rabid sectional- ism. The Democratic party js the party of peace and of union that would blot out all sectionul differences 'forever, and it has proven this in the nomination of Gen. Hancock at Cincinnati. There was but one feeling there among the Southern delerates. That feeling was ex- pressed when we said to our Northern Demo- cratic brethren, “Give us a Northern Demo- crat who can be elected. We bring you. IS votes and we ask youto give usu man whocan bring u3 50 more.” They gave us the man; bis’ name is Hancock. That name took like wildiire from one end of this Union to the other. Since that nomination was mude every man who was in that Convention has come tw the conclusion that we could not pnssi- Diy bave made a wiser or a better. When ‘Hancock was nominated Bayard wrote to me that he was perfectly satisfied,—that Hancock was the onty man who had no opponents in the party; and furthermore that be was one against ‘whom the bloody shirt could not be waved. We have put it in tbe power of the people to elect thisticket. They can elect itif they will. You will hear to-day from one who can speak better than any other man alive for North Carolina,— may, for the whole South. Gov. Vance will con- firm_my words and tell you that we can carry our Stutes, that we can carry the South, if you ‘will Gnly carry-Virginia. He bas come, like me, to appeal to you not to forsake usin this hou of our need. “Lappeal to you in thename of the Rreat men of Virginia. IT know that both sides sre sincere in this local fight. I know there are honest men and true in both your factions, but whether you be Koadjuster or Funder, whether you be Greenbacker or hard-money man, 1 ad- dureyou in God's name to remember that you ure Virginians. In the issue containing. this report, the Herald has the following in its ‘editorial col- ums: A harrowing paragraph purporting to be a Hteral extract from x dreadful Deca made by Senutor Hampton, of South Carulina, at Staun- ton, Va., on July 2f,is having an extensive eireulution ia the partisan Republican press. and furnishes a text for the most paroxysmal exbibitions of campaign rhetoric. e journal in this city keeps it stunding at the head of its editorial puye. It represents Mr. Hampton 28 urging the support of Gen. Hancock for President on the ground that the political prin- ciples uf the Democratic party ure the same for which Lev and Jackson fonght In the rebellion. A report of this speech which we have received from Senator Humpton and print in another column, does not contain tho para- graph in question. We tind in it predictions Of evil consequences to result from the possible election. of Gen. Garfield which are extrava- gant, such as that “we shall behold no more tree clecdons and no more untrammeled ex- pression of political sentiment"; but it con- tains no phrase which js literally ltke tbat which Republicun journals and speakers put intu bis mouth, nor any which by a fair con- struction cau Le tortured into its significance. “ Turn ead turn about” is no more than tair. Since the Republicans deem that Mr. Hamp- ton's view of whut are the principles of the Democratic party is so valuable, for the sake of fair play let them-now quote for # while his ‘view of what the principics of their own party “Turn and turn about” is no more than fair. Since the Herald pretends to be inde- pendent, let it republish the Virgintan’s re- Port of Gen. Hatpton’s speech, and let. it ask Gen. Hampton this question: Did you ordid you not make use of the Janguage as- eribed to you by the Virginian in ‘your Staunton speech? Gen. Hampton we be- Neve to bea man of truth, ‘and we are con- ident that he will not deny having uttered every sentence ascribed to him. But if he does deny it, tell him that there are Democrats of hish sanding in_ the party, who if put upon the stand will make affidavit to the substan- tial correctness vf the Virgintan’s report. <And_in the meantime call his attention to the following extract taken from the report of the Vindicator, the only Democratic pa- per in Staunton that published the substance of his address: +, rause before you cast your vote. Thin! Lee would have voted: Think what tober would bave done before he would bave cust a yore calculated to divido his beloved Virginia. You to remember thoee who have died on sour Soil, and tu remember that the principles they ilfed fur are again on trial to-day. T say nothing of your differences. I know there are honest men, brave men, and true men on both sides. but I bez you to remember;that whether you are justers or Funders you are still Virginians.

INDIANA. A THOROUGIT CANVASS, Rpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasurvetos, D. C., Aug, 21.—A gentle man who has just arrived here from Indiana reports the Republican organization in that State as exceptionally gobd this year. Ho says that there is a committee of five trusty and experienced Republicans in every school- district in the State; that these Committees long since made out a lst of all the voters in their respective districts, one list being rec- ognized Republicans, the other recognized Democrats, and the third list doubtful yoters. It bas been the province of these Comnaittees to endeavor to win over the doubtful voters, The exact status of each one of these voters is known, and such documents as would be apt to incline him to thé Republican faith are promptly sent to him, if one is discovered to be waver- ing. The School District Committees make weekly reports to the County Committee, the County Committee to the State Central Com- mittee, and this. thorough organization has been in operation now for more than a month. In addition, the Schoo! District Committees have agreed to BE PRESENT AT THE POLIS . in their precincts and to make it certain that no man votes who does not live in some one or other of the respective districts belonging tothe poll. A count of the lists of certain Republican names made during the last ten days. shows that the Repubiicans, if every vote is polled, would be certain now to carry the State by about 5,000 majority, without gounting a single one of the doubtful votes, End conceding that the Democrats would poll every vo! making no allowance for absence, {l-health, sickness, or indifference. AN ELOQUENT COLORED MAN. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Inpranaports, Ind., Aug. 21.—The_meet- ing atthe wigwam to-night to hear Georre W. Williams, the colored member of the Ohio Legislature, speak was quite a compliment to him, being half again: as large as the crowd attracted last nizht by Senator Jones, of Florida. He repaid the compliment by delivermg one of the most ‘eloquent and effective Speeches of the campaign, challeng- ing the admiration of all who heard it for originality, lucidity of expression, eloquence, and earnestness. He made.a fine impression, and was constantly interrupted by applause, He will be in Indiana two weeks longer. | : ALABAMA. ANOTHER REFERENCE TO THE DEMOCRATI( PLAN. z * Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasnrneroy, D. C., Aug. 21.—The follow- ing isan extract from a letter from Hunts- ville, Ala. written by a gentleman of the highest character: Leading and prominent citizens of this city publicly approved and attempted to justify the frauds perpetrated in this county, saying the object in viow authorized the act, and that they did not consider it perjury for election ofcers to make false certificates wheu the result was the defeat of Republicans or the Indepen- dent ticket. The election officers at some of the elecnow points amended the onth provided by the statutes, snd adopted one peculiar to the occasion and circumstances, and swore that they would woll und truly discharge the duties of judges to the best of their ability, and according to the best interests of the country and of the Democratic party. Two years ago the Republicans and In- dependents carried this county by 1,000 majority. This year we thought we were thoroughly or- gunized and solid in opposition to the Demno- crats,and have bad many accessions from the Democratic party during the past twelve montbs, vet they have carried the county by 1.200 ma- jority. At the time prominent citizens were ap- proving the manner jn which the election was conducted others said they hoped they would never ugain have to do what was dono at the lute elections to secure success. HEADQUARTERS NEWS. MAINE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New York, Aug. 21.—Senator Logan, who arrived in this city from Maine this morning, visited headquarters and had a talk with Chairman Jewell In conversation with a reporter the Senator said: “The outlook in Maine is very encourag- ing for the Republicans. The meetings everywhere are largely attended and very enthusiastic, more so than they have been for years, ns Ihave been told by well- informed persons. I have no doubt that the State will go Republican. The act of the coalition canvassers in attempting to deprive the Republicans of the offices gained by them hasbeen an important factor in the campaign. It has braced up the Republicans, and has brought in a large number of the Independ- ent floating voters to our side. The result this year will not be left in doubt.” ; Senator Logan left Maine yesterday, and to-morrow will leave this city for his home in Dlinois, where he will remain for a few days before beginning his campaign work in Indiana, which will be his next field of oper- ations, AMONG THE LETTERS received at Republican headquarters to-day were the following: Edwin P. Ingersoll,who has been stumping this State, says: I have made a number of speeches, and everywhere find great enthusiasm for the cause, Old men say to me, ‘ This reminds us of Harrison in 1840.) I find many Democrats who have decided to vote the Republican ticket.” 0. B. Wright, of Scranton, Pa., says: “A Garfield and Arthur War -Veterans’ Club has been formed in Scranton. E. tL. Ripple, the President of the Club, is a survivor of Andersonville, and every one of the 200 mem- bers has-been under Rebel fire. The en- thusiasm among the old soldiers is un- bounded. James A. Scranton, who has been unaniinously nominated for Con- gress in the Twelfth District, will be triumphantly elected tosucceed the old-nan- not-afraid-to-be-called-demagog Hendrick B.

NOTES. TOOMBS AND HANCOCK—TNE MACHINE MUST RUN TO SUIT THE SOUTIIERN DOYS. Special to Cincinnaté Commerctal, Wasninezon, Aug. : 2.—Gen, Robert Toombs, the frank-spoken Georgian,has given his views ot the political situation and pros- pects in a letter to a friend in this city. Aftera reference to some other matters, he turns his attention to public affairs, about which he writes in this interesting style: “Tam as positive that Hancock will be elected as I am that: there isa God in the heavens.

"> “ After the eleetion of 1878," he sald, ‘I was returning home by way of Mobile, and 1 noticed in the car a gentleman whom I knew by sight to be a Jarge planter in that State. I determined to havea chat with him about politics, so I crossed over to where he sat. ‘After some talk, I said, ‘How ‘is it, Gerieral, that you get such large majorities in Missis- sippi, while we have so much trouble to doit Alabama???” e “<Qh, well, that’s easy. enough. he sald. “But come into the sleeping-car and have a cigar and I'll tell you.’ * I went with hin: and as soon as we had our cigars lighted he said: ‘How we do it isthis: We just let the niggers go as they please. We don’t jaterfere with them. It ain’t no good anyway. for the nigger’s just ‘Hike a mule, and we don’t shoot em because we want ’em to work In the fields. “«* Now you know as well as Ido that ihe nigger has no right to ‘a vote, an 1 everybody knows it.

MiInWAUsEE, Wis., Aug. 21.—In the can- vass for suitable Congressional candidates in this district nearly all Interest is withdrawn from the Presidential question. It is about the same as settled that Caspar M. Sanger will be the Republican nominee against P. ‘V.Deuster,the present DemocraticRepresent- ative. The withdrawal of Edward Sanderson makes Sanger the strongest man available, Te has an excellent record as a public serv- ant, and is wealthy and extremely popular. Many deeds of private charity unknown to the general public haye made hin a god with certain classes. His worldly posses- sions are vast, and he is connceted.with Dusiness-houses that give employment to lnndreds. of men. Mr. Deuster, the Democratic candidate for reélection, is not so popular personally as Sanger, but he has made an admirable record in Congress. The Evening Chronicle has the following: dispateh froin Madison regarding the differ- ent Congressional districts: “The poli- ticlans here pave become really. aolnated over the com: Congressional si the Fourth, Sixth, Second, and Third Dis- triets. Perhaps the interest in affairs in the Sixth District is not, sv great since the with- drawal of. Kelly, who - was . believed by many to be able to beat Bouck, but still the Republicans are fletermined t make a strong fight there, and will try to i duce Judge Pulling to run. The Fifth Dis- trict is conceded to the Democracy, and the First. Seventh, and Eighth to the ‘Republie- ans, without much of a struggle. Prospects were never so good for the Democrats as at vresentin thé Second and ‘Third Districts. ven the Republicaus are willing to admit that if the other party can heal its differences in the Second, the result there will be com- pletely in doubt until the vote is counted. Col. Vilas could, undoubtedly, carry the dis- trict, but. he does not permit himself: to be brought forward. Messrs. Greene and Bird are in the field, but Mulberger, of Water- town, is apt to come in a3 a compromise be- tween them. ‘The indications are that either Vilas or Mulberger will be nominated. The Republicans fail to see their way clearly, and have some little local ruptures, jealousjes, and discontent to affect their work. Tho Fourth (Milwaukee) attracts not only local, but general attention. It Is important to the Republicans that their strength in Congress be increased, owing to the probability of there being a Democratic President after next March. Chairman Jewell’ has writ- ten that the. loss of both the Presidency and Congress would place the Republicans under a cloud aindunting to almest_to- tal oblivion. The Fourth Wisconsin Dis- trict is peculiarly situated, and be- comes the most perfect test of the strength of the two parties. It has theso prominent characteristics: It has been a Democratic stronghold in the past; the city and county have recently. become Repub- lean; the district was close two years ago; this year the Republicans will run a stronger man than before, and the Democratic candi- date has made a fine record in ‘Congress, and is naturally regarded as possessing greater strength than in 1878, Your correspondent has followed instructions in giving an impar- tial review of the situation, as it appears to the best political managers on both sides.” MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 21—The Dem- oeratic Convention of the First District of Wisconsin to-day nominated Clinton B. Abbott, of Belvit, as candidate for Congress. o VERMONT. Spectal Dispatch tp The Chicago Tribune, Boston, Aug. 21.-The. Vermont campaign promises to be lively in the remaining fort- night before the election. Chairman Bar- num, of the National Democratic Committee, has telepraphed to turn the State upside down during the brief time remaining. Special efforts on both sides will be made hr the back towns and local cities remote from railroad and journalistic Induences. It is es- timated that during the few days re- maining. not less than 1,000 poiltical speceh- es will be made tnroughout the State. Itis the idea of the managyrs on both sides to have’ one or more meetings in every city and town, irrespective of those.which have been held. The Republicans have just fin- ished a canvass of the State, and it is reported that itis contemplated to make public the announcement on Monday the canvass assures a Republican majoiity of about 27,000.

EAST-BOUND FREIGHT MOVEMENT Instead of an increase there has been a still further deerésse in the freight ship- ment East from thig city during the. past week. The total shipments of grain, flour, and provisions during the week ending Aug. 21 by the six Eastefn pool lines amounted to only 29,436 tons, agninst 33,285 tons for the week previous,—a falling off of 3,19 tons. ‘The continued falling off in-.business when an increase was ‘expected and when the cross Hines from Peoria, Indianapolis, ete., are overcrowded, and have not sufficient cars to take care of all tha business that offers, is beginning to open the eyes of the managers of the Chicago roads to the necessity of the present system of basing the rates trom all points in’ the West on the Chicago rates. Tis system works well enough during the winter when there isfno competition by Jake, but during the suminer, when lnke competi- tion bas to be. met,.the Chicazo rvads are under great disadvantage, as the bulk uf the business that comes here by the Western roads goes East by. lake. Owing to this rea- son, the roads centering in Chicago will be more fully represented than usual at the ineeting of the High Joints, to be held in New York on the 24th, to oppgse the move- ment now on foot to’bring about an advance in east-bound freiglit-rates. The cross lines, which have their hands full of business, and the New York trunk lines, which get the business from the lakes and from the cross Mnes, are greatly in favor of an advance, but such action would inflict immense damage upon the Chicago lines, and they. will resist it with all their might. ‘They. have no. ob- jection toan advance from other points if the roads from those points desire it, but they think there should be no advance from Chicago aslougas lake competition has to. be inet ‘The following statement shows the amount of business done by the six Eastern pool- lines for the week ending Aug. 21: A Grain, | Prov's, Flour,|tone of |tons of| Total Dris. |20001,|20001b.| tons.

Work on the Atiantie & Pacific Railroad, or, as itis generally known, the Thirty-tifth Parallel Rote, running fromthe main line ofthe Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Rail- road at Albuquerque due west to the Pacific Coast, is rapidly. progressing. The eastern terminus of this’ road will be at the south endof the Union Depot at Albuquerque, ‘The Atlantic & Pacific will use thirteen miles of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé track from Albuquerque, crossing the Rio Grande on the same bridge, near ‘the Pueblo village of Isleta, Three miles below Isleta the Atlantic & Pacifie track leaves the yalley and turns westward, A force of 120 men is at. work “laying track, but this number will at once be doubled.

The suggestion was timely, for it appears that Gen. Terry was summoned to Washington lust week on this very busi- ness. Both the President and the Secretary of Neat we are informed, are desirous that Gen. Terry should go to West Poi whenever Gen. Schofield will be one lieved. On the other hand, Gen. Terry does not desire to exchange his present important command for West Point, and itis by no means certain that he will go there. Nothing has_been determined in re- gard to the matter.

Car Scenes and Incidents—A eeciea Mans Musings En Route from the Garden City to the Atlantle Ocean—enry Ward Beecher and Apple-Ple. To the Editor of The Chicago Tunes DUNNELLEN, N. J., Aug. 18.—I came from Chicago to “Jersey” via Elkhart, Hornells- ville, and Narrowsburg. This may not be very intelligible to the superficial observer, but the skilled traveler will know that 1 left Chicago at 3:30 o’clock Monday, supped at Elkhart on the Lake Shore Line, @ined at [asters and supped at Narrowsburg yesterday on the Erie. As Conkling sald about Gen. Grant, stealing from Miles O'Reilly, “ When asked where he hails from, we always reply, He hails from Appomattox, under the.famous appletree.” So, hereafter, when asked, as a traveler, where I nail from, Ishall alwaysreply, “From the Hornells- ville dining-room, where they serve that famous apple-pie.” As I devoured the first piece greedily and called for a second I thought of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and his description of a perfect apple-pie. I should have been reminded of him in any event, for it was made after his formula, but as it happened I had traveled in the car with him to Buffalo. But unfortu- nately for Mr, Beecher, at that point he took another route, and so lost forever an opportunity to indulge his taste for a per- fect apple-pie. He has borne a good many mental strains, but I tremble for his sanity when ne reads this letter, I think it would be an act of kindness to deprive him of the issue of Tae ‘TRIBUXE in which it appears. After eating two pieces of the pie, 1 was seized with a wild desire to seek out the girl who made it and Propose marriage to her. I controlled myself long enough to consume athird piece, whereupon I selzed my hat and was about to explore the kitchen, when it oceurred to me that I already had one wife who milght object. This reflection sobered me remarkably, and I was conscious of being the object of very general observation. Peo- ple were staring at me even to the neglect of their several pieces of apple-pie. A waiter- girl, or a. girl-waiter, asked me what I wanted. I regarded her rather quizzically for a moment, and said: “Did you make it?” ‘“‘ Make what?” she responded. This broke the spell. I threw my hat on ~ Hoots resumed my seat at table, and said calmly: “I will take a plece of apple-pie, if you please, miss!” I gave the Cashier a dollar, and when he tendered “a quarter” in change J said: “No, thank you;send one of those apple- pies to Mr. Beecher with my compliments.” Only an almost endless iteration of crop- burdened fields, hundreds of thousands of aeres of corn, gay in silk and spindle, wheat and oats and hay in the stack, evidences on every hand of the boundless resources of the soll,—these pictures forin what there is of “scenery” on the line of the Michigan Southern or LakeShorse Line. The attention of the traveler to whom these scenes are familiar is soon turned to the interior of the ear, Half-a dozen seats in front of me I noticed an old man the back of whose head even had. adistingué appearance, The hair was very prey and carefully combed and arranged be- ind the ears. The train news-boy constant- ly plied the old gentleman with bouks. ‘e took them one by one in his hand, opened them, closed them, and Banded them back with a negative shake @f the great head. My curiosity was aroused, and I walked to the front, turned and - faced the old man with the long, gray, carefully- arranged hair. “Henry Ward Beecher!” I exclaimed, under my breath. A large, rather stout man, with a large head, a large, coarse face of a purplish-red hue, like an over-ripe peach, a long nose, A coarse,- sensual mouth, but with all the marks of that intel- lectun! vigor for which he ts so distinguished. l resumed my seat and said to the news- boy: “Do you know to whom you are trying ‘Wnts that old feller there?” point “What, that ol ler there 3 “No,” he responded. Ponting ““That’s Mr. Beecher,” I said. “ What, the feller that had the trouble with Tilden >” he asked, “With Tilton, you mean; it was the Dem- porate: party that had the trouble with Til- len,” I said. ‘the newsboy still plied Mr. Beecher with books, and the venerable Doctor of Divinity still took them in his hand, opened them, closed them, and returned them with 2 nega- tive but kindly shake of the Ieonine head. I wondered. whether he was not a little anxious to know if the celebrated crim. con. case of Tilton vs. Beecher is still hawked in the cars? I wondered whether he did not in fact dread that the cover of each book pre- sented for his inspection should reveal that disagreeable title in glaringcapitals? Either he had a largestock of good-natured patience that day or he had a purpose in view in in- specting the entire stock-in-trade of the newsboy. - All the afternoon he sat silent and.re- served, not only uot speaking but not seem- ing to regard any of his fellow-passengers, But at every station he rose hastily, left the car, and paced the platform with a quick, vigorous step, generally regaining the car after it was in motion,. When bed-time arrived he stripped to his underclothing, CRIMINAL CALENDAR Five Hundred Dollars Reward fry the Arrest of the Notorious Dr. Buchanan.

Then all the other passengers went to bed too, and drew their curtains close, and the train thundered along thirty or forty or fifty miles an hour, and the locomotive hissed, and wheezed, and whistled, and scattered cinders right and Jeft over the faces of snor' sleepers, and puffed great volumes of black smoke in the face and eyes of her ladyship the moon. And so with the serene and seemingly unconscious moon for company we steamed into Buffalo in tlne for a wretched breakfast. fo those who have never traversed the Erie Line the claim of its managers that {t passes through “the Switzerland of America ” may Appear a trifle audacious. But for an ail day’s ride on the rail there is certainly noth- ing to compare with it east of the Rucky Mountains.- From Attica to Paterson. a dis- tance of 375 miles, there is scarcely a mile of tune, uninteresting scenery. Take your seat ina Pullman parfor-car, and, a3 whirls along, you shall see a thousand ures, but never two alike. Hills, valleys, fields, pastures, native forests, cultivated groves, secluded dells where the foot of man never trod; lawns — shay- en to perfection by ie Jandseape gardener; trees on the hillside far above; trees in the valleys far below; glimpses of rivers wind! their sinuous way through gorges in the hills, and of fishermen in boats on their placid bosom, lazily handling the rod and line; farmers toiling in the harvest- field; farmers sitting in easy-chairs under je branching elm shading the farm-housa door; and over all and enveloping all'the hazy summer atmosphere. Exquisit pictures of Nature and art are charmingly blended, and as the train rushes on and on tt unrolls train pict- them in panoramic view. It is like wander- through a gallery of paintings by the old masters, but these pictures of Nature are all by one master—the oldest master, the Master of the masters,—and the pictures of art are so careless in design and so unstudied in execution that they rival the works of God, among which they have been thrust without disturbing their harmony. ~ For tweve hours the traveler gazes on this series of ever-changing scénes—scenes of nature as wild as an African jungle, and scenes of villaze and pastoral lifé as replete with peaceful content as a poet’s Arcadia. The train speeds along the banks of-rivers celebrated in song and story. The Tona- wanda, the Genesee, the Chemung, the Sus- quehanna, the Neversink, the Delaware, and the Passaic reflect the forest trees in thetr depths or in thelr shallows, flow over pebbiy bottoms, or dash over cliffs in foaming eas- cades. And, in the midst of the charm, the sun goes down behind the hills inasea of glory; and the train forges thead under the pale glare of the moonlizht, and the land- Scape assumes weird ‘shapes. ‘The trees look like giants . spreai ing forth ther arms to seize the fiery monster which rags coaches and passengers along in its smoke-hegrimed and cindery wake: the rivers look like streams of molten silver, and the hills resemble vast masses of thundcrous clouds..
