Democratic Bors in BLUE—A special dispateh to the New York Evening Post from this city says: Recently a democratic orga- nization of “Boys in Blue” was effected here, and the intention was toextend it through all the northern states to offset the one beaded by Gen.

H., Aug. 28, 1876. My last letter left us at the Profile House, Franconia Noteh, after a pleasant wa‘k through the bill, valley and mountaio re- gion from Bethlehem. The Profile House is held to have rather a monopoly of mountain shows, big and Little, being, with the excsp- tion of its branch concern, the Flume House, the only hotel in the Franconia Notch; but one of its most attractive features is its great hall of an evening, ruddy with the glow from the immense wood-fire of logs of @ size to correspond with the size of the room and the fire-place. This house is, of all the mountain hotels, the resort of the upper- tendom of New York and the Atlantic cities, but of aa evening, and, indeed, through most hours of the day, the guests prefer to leave the more exclusive parlors and ¢on- gregate In this great hall or office. Here they sit about In pleturesque groups, enjoyiag themselves amazingly, apparently, in twits democratic letting down from the rigors of full-cress and the artificial life of the nome winter season. Of course, there is more or less dress aisplay in the dining-room or in the ball-room of the Profile House, but it is rather the fashionable thing here not to bother much about dress formalities, but to go in for a good jolly recreative time. Tais 1s possible, because the guests are largely of ®@ class who by reas»n of assured social sition can afford to discard ‘store clothes” while in the mountains, and enjoy tuem selves as they please. Many of the guests bave been habitues for years. A NEWSPAPER MAN WHO OWNS A TROUT- LAKE. I see here Mr. William ©. Prime, of the New York Journal of Commerce, who has summered at the “Profile” for eighteen years. That is to say, he has asulteof rooms at this house and makes it his headquarters, though he spends more or less time at his trout-lake on Mount Cannon, near by, where he has erected @ cosy cabin, and in company with ® congenial friead or two sometimes lauxa Tiates up there for a week ata timein astate “of torpid ness,” fisbing and eating. He did not discover the lake, pat he discot ered trout in iton one of nis mountain ex lorations. His first hour’s fishing brought out irty-five trout, weighing from 2% pounds downward, and it Is not very surptising that bis next move was to buy tne lake, the more especially as his comfortable iacom> from bis Interest in the Journal of Commerce ena bies bim to indulge in sach luxuries. Mr. Prime looks the picture of rosy, clear-eyed health for a man who has spent @ osusider- able portion of bis lifeia lentary parsuits, but it is not every lawyer or j :aroatist who can afford & permanent suite of rooms at tne Profile House and a White Mountain trout- jake. ONE OF THE SIDE SHOWS here is the Echo Lake, half a mile from the hotel. Almost every mountain range has its Echo lake, but this ts held to be the only real article, just as the Stone Fave outranks all the other thousand and one mountain Profiles. It is an unattractive little sheet of water, walied in by Eagle Cliff, Bald Moun- tain and Mount Cannon, but its echoes are something remarkable, and the discharge of the little cannon ou the wharf ts followed by aroar aloog the mountain steeps like vhat of a park of artillery. This is som- times too much of the thunderous for quiet people, but one does not soon get tired of the rich notes of the well-played bugle that comes back from the great mountain wails expanded and rounded, as if the instrament were filled by Olympian itps. UP MOUNT LAFAYETTE. The next morning we took an early start for the ascent of Mount Lafayette, chief of the Franconia mountains, as we had @ pretty tard day’s work before us. The sky was clcudiess, and the oppertunity for a fine view was one of those exceptional ones that all mountain tourists know how to appreciate. The present path up Mount Lafayette at- tacks the mountain side almost immedi ately in front of the hotel, instead of making detour of & couple o! miles, as the old path did, in quest of an easier grade. For som> time we were occupied iu working up the sbaip ascent of the flank of Eagie Ciiff,which impends almost directly over the Profile Honse; and in this part of the route we came eae ee of oe ‘rofile, or Old Man of the ahead it humanly ‘out wi es poe of view, where, sbarply ou’ ed against the sky, theee beauty spots, and when we came back & little after noon to be sure, @ couple of Leen ire Co ed dawdling about io the vicinity with some sketching materials, but the sun was then high in the heaveas, aud Bil the exquisite, shy, tender charms of the morning path bad vanished uader that re- where they verged from it, an abua- dant spring of cool water. > @] bad si to smoke for another watie, moun'sin Another piece of sharp climbing took us above the forest line and out upon @ plateau muscles and the lungs, I may add that the ascent of Mt. Lafayette, 5,259 feet high, seemed so much like play that after dinner we were in condition to undertake avother walk on our way down the Pemi,ze- Wasset valley: while our opening ascent o- Kiarsage, two thousand feet Jess in height, caused us to puff a good deal and to pause vi frequeatiy to admire the scenery or to = blueberries. Now, too, we bad gained —e rs and the feeling of buoyancy and exhilaration enabliog and inciting us to sing or whistle as we walked; and almost inevitably on entering upon ny streten of tolerably open road, even if sharply ap bill, we fell Into @ quick swinging stride to the Step of our owa music. Another point is that with this buoyancy of fesling indresd by pedestrian exercise comes the capacity for greatly increased enjoyment of the Scevery encountered. And theopportuntties" for improving all points of view are enhanced a hunared fold when taken afoot than when one Is confined to @ carriage and the beaten track. Oa foot one can diverge trom tne road at @ hundred potats to improve the range of a prospect; to say nothing of the betier view obtained from the road ttseit when one is not limited to the chance glances from @ carriage window. DOWN THE PEMIGEWASSET. Starting down the valiey from the Protile House, one sees bigh up the mountain to his right the singular foi mation of rock that at tois distance takes the shape of a mounted cannon, and gives its name to the mountain. Following down the narrow gien between the Eagle Cliff and Mount Cannon, we soov came to the point on the road opposite Pro- file Lake, from which (as indicated by a guide board, and @ wooden seat) ig obtained the favorite view of THE GREAT STONE FACE. This profile 1s formed by granite ledges on the clifis of Mount Cannon, 1,209 feet above the spectator at this point. As out ued against the sky it seems to be com posed of asingle rock, but is really formed of three disconnected ledges of granite iv different vertical lines, their aggregate height being about forty feet. The stern cliffs of the White Mountains so abound in broken ledges, from which travelers, hotel men and guidebook makers have evolved fanciful resemblances to tue human face, ‘nat one comes here prepared wo exercise powers of imagipation usually required to make out @ likeness; bat the resemblauce is really something ‘ting. As has peeu strikingly sald of it: +Oue sees & moantain that breags into human expression,— piece of sculpture older than the Sphynx,—aa in- Umation of the human countenance, whieh is the crown of all beauty, tuat was pushed out from the ¢oarse strata of New Eaglard thousands of years before Adam. The ex- pression 18 really noble, with @ suggestion partly of fatigue and melancholy. Hs seems lo be waillug for some visitor or @ message.” It ig said that the granite of the profile 1s ae- composing rapidly, @ad tnat ta ail proba bility the likevess will be destroye 1 in afew years through the actioa of frost. An effort bas been made to avert this disaster by binding the three separate rocks, forming respectively the chin, the upper lip and nose, Ana the jutiing forehead, with iroa clamps, but any protection of ‘this sind mast of course give way like ropes of straw whsa any one of these immeuse masses of impend- ing rock is detached from the parent cliff by the action of frost. Tois remarkable freak of nature has the addet human interest of being tne subject ofone of Hawthorne’s weird stories. Jost under tbe Profile,and a few yards from our valiey road, 1s Profil 9 beautiful sheet of water with decp on the mouatain side, in which suade were floating as we passcd several row wats, Lhe occupants of waich—maiuly young p20ple from the hotel—were engaged variously in irting, fly-fishing, aod taking in the sub- lime and beautiinl.

Opposite the Plymouth House we noticed some workmen engaged in rejuvenating an old frame building and taking @ good deal of saperfiuous pains appareatly to preserve all the weather-beaten matera! that was not absolutely too rotten to bear handling. It” seems that this briiding,a primitive one- story structure with heavy timvers and a Pointed roof, was the old coart-house of Grafven county, and the interest in it tion is the fact that D: Webster made his first plea before a this seven-by-nine room.

WINNEPESAUKEE. We got an early breakfast in order to take the morning boat (the Mt. Washington) to Wolfeborough, twenty miles down the jake. The morning was crisp, bright and clear, and tbe jake apc moantain scenery showed to advantage. The white houses of the little hamlet of Centre Harbor, set off by the green lawn extending down to the lake, appeared almost pataially distinct. Through the wonderfully clear waters of the Winne- pesaukee one could see objects oa the bottom Of the lake stagreatdep.h. As we sped oa our way to Wolleborougn the various moua- tein ranges and giant peaks come out to view in the clear morping air—the twin peaks of Belkoap on the right, Passacoae- ‘way, Chocorua, the Oosipee range, Washing- ton, Adams, and Jefferson on the left. At Wolfeborough, a brisk. handsome village, © summer resort and manufacturing place, we climbed the suburban bili to gain the foe general view of Lake Winnepesaukes. Tnen Wwe took the cars for North Conway as the best piace to stay over Sunday. And here we are a jonday,) in excellent condition, after carrying out Our programme of walks and loiterings in te White and Franconia mountains. The uninterrapted dry, clear weather, though unfavorable to the farmers, has enabled us to carry out our plans without hindrance. Our Ks have gradually expanded from ten to tweaty-five miles per day, including more or lesa sharp mountain climbing, and we are now in @ condition to tackle thirty miles a day, if dis- to step out and not lotter by the way sight seeing. We have every reason t> be satisfied with the results of our undertaking to do the mountain and lake region of New Hampshire main!y on foot. c.8.N. The Arrest of Wm. M Tweed.
