I lefw Baden Baden with many sighs and
regrets. The air was beaut ii, the see ieiy
grand. Old Castles and Churches abound
,here, a week's stay only made me wish to
stay logger.' We now take rail for Stras
i bourg where is seen the old Call cuiul with
j its spire of 475 feet in heigl't the highest
! in the world being 123 lectj higher thfn
' St. Pauls in Londbu, ard 24 feet b'guerthin
i the highest pyramid. I can vouch lor its
I being high.! I went vp to the upper steeply
or about 125 feet blcw its top, and shall
always in niy imagindon believe it to be
2,000 feet! Here is the wonderful .clock
with its twelve apostles and wonder
ful mechanism, I saw it striko twelve J
in j the dayv and heard the cock
crow thrice. : . It is a very wondcrfal 1
thing and has never been surpassed un
til recently. One has been built! for the
Cathedral of Bauvaia of much j superior
workmanship. The Cathedral ia something
really worth visiting, its beauties cannot be
described . Iom Strasburg I come to Paris.
So you seel have by no means been idle,
having been all alive and hard at work. I
forgot in the appropriate place to say that
at Geneva I visited Lake Leman, and spent
an hour at the famous Castle of Chillcn,
famed as the prison of Bonivard, who "for
four years was chained to a pillar of stone,
and was the ' hero of Byron's " Prisoner of
Chiilob. It is a grand old fortress and
prison, surrounded with water of 800 to
1,000 feet in depth, being built upon a pro
jection of rock of the mountain just under
water. It is more than one thousand years
old, probably. In passing up the Lak3 we
have admirable views of the famous Mont
Blanc, which rises 14,800 feet, and is cover
ed perpetually with snow. It is singular in.
appearance and looks much less than other
montainsin bcihi, the perspective deceiv1
ingone. It is seen at a very great distance,
I suppose not less than thirty-five miles from
the point I saw it. j
All this part of Switzerland and great
portions ot Germany on the Rhine are grape
raising, wine making countries. I curerally
investigated the vines and wines and found
much more poor, than good. Tie Vines
are raised on sticks, are cut down every fall
and grow in height varying from two and
a half to four feet. The 3oil in much of the
grape country is poor. The country be
tween Strasbourg and Paris produces the
finest champaignes of Europe. The vines
are miserable stunted things, but the chalky
soil imparts a flavor unattainable elsewhere.
In Switzerland everybody works. ; It is a
country of equal rights. Women have
rights there. They work in the field, yoked
with cattle. The cows alUwork, the chil
dren work. I said to myself, " Howl wish
the advocate ot u women's rights" in
America could see how nice it is here !" I
saw no beauty, no expression of spiritual
brill raucy there, everything seemed reduced
(o hard work. Men, Women, children,! cat
tle, and dogs even, were at work. I It is no
doubt as much as they all . can do to j live
even with this industry.
Yours truly,
Silas N. Maktin.(
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
I jS'ew York, Sept. 28, 1869.
The long agony is over ! Gotham breathe3
fvee again. The bulls have beared the gold
market, and the result was, the suicide of one
of the members of the gold board, and the
complete financial ruin of seven of our leading
brokers. No doubt, ere this, you have r
ceived the full intelligence by-.telegraph and
'therefore it would be a work ot superroga
tion tQ enlarge upon a topitWong! since ex
hausted. N
Enougb, that the ring formed byjFisk
auJl 'Goul'l was not of the right! metal to
' fasten into the noses of the bears, and there-
fore the battle for the mastery, culminated
in the gambling fiasco ot Saturday.
All is quiet at present writing, with the
advantage on the side of the bears.
THE LA CItOSSE INDIANS.
These untutored and unkempt specimecs
of the red men of the prairie, have been de
lighting the residents of Gotham and vicin
ity, tor the last three weeks in their excit
ing native game of La Crossefwhich is
very much like the Scotch game of " Shin
ny." , ..
On Saturday evening last, they appeared
at the mammoth Curriculum, Jersey City,
4 .overUic water " and loud was their war
Whoop,aud great was their war-dance in their
wampum, paint, and feathers.
But the most entertaining of the even'ig's
amusement, was the contest between James
Smith (champion pedestrian of the United
States), and Grey Eagle, of the " Black
feet" Indians a very remarkable runner.
The ". pale face" was to wall one mile,
while ye sayage, Desterized one mile pud a
half.
I am happy to announce that the repre
sentative of the noble Caucassian shed glory
on his patronymic, and added a new laurel
to his long woven chaplet, in distancing
ye savage with the . eagle eye, by ten sect
onds. ..
I was informed by the accomplished and
gentlemanly propiietor, Professor Abner S.
Brady, that the amusement hall, exceeding
ly novel in its way, is a complete and de
cided success.
ciR fall trade. ;
If busy thoTOUghfares ; exciting carmen ;
seemingly endless lines of freight; throngs
of carriages, and a mania for advertising,
are prominent indications of a lively fall
trade, then New York has as bright a com
mercial prospect as can be desired. Our
little dears, and what city can boast of pret
tier ones, clad in their bombazine, scotch
plaids, and rose colored velveteen suits, do
look charming, as they pass up and down
"The festive, gay Broadway.f
on their shoppiug excursions, or in their
daily promenades.
NEW BUILDINGS, j .
To enumerate the many grand buildings
going up in our midst, is a task I will not
undertake. Among the many marble ajid

Fifteenth street and Broadway; the New

Association; New York Life Insurance
Company ; Equitable Life Insurance Com

The Jong prevaili-i- drouth has not been

rs. Those who we.c v,.sc enough to (lis-
wit
er
card the too prevalent system of shal
low plowing, lmpei&ct pulverization, and
sparse manuring, have passed through it
with comparatively small damage ; while
those who have followed the old beaten
patfis, are to-day heavy looseis by their neg
lect to attend to the plainest principles of
agricultural teachings.
Jf you plow down your weeds betore they
go to seed, they will prove a benefit to your
land instead ot a curse. f they are allowed
to go to seed they will be a source of endless
trouble. Plowed under, they are worth as
much f.s a dressing of manure. , Besides en
robing the soil they tend to keep it loose.
If you add nom twentyrhve to fifty bushels
of Mmc per acre to the ground, and harrow
it in, it wi'l convert your weeds into plant
food.
A hog doesn't sweat like a horse or a man,
but through the forelegs. Theie is a spot on
each leg, just below the knee, in the form
ot a s'eve. Through this the sweat passes
off, and it is recessary that it be kept open.
If it gets close;!, as is sometimes the case,
ti e hog will get s'ck ; he will appear stiff
and cramped, and unless he gets relief it will
go hard with irm. To cure him, just open
the pores. This is done by rubbing the
spot with a corn cob, and washing with
warm water.
Dau'cl Webster once said : No inan is so
high as to be independent of the success of
this great interest ; no man 13 so low as not
to be affected by tbe prosperity or dec'.ine
The cultivation of the earth is the most im
portant labor bf man. Man maybe civil
ized in some degrep, without greet progress
i i manr'aca' el's, antl but little commerce
with his distant neighbors, but w'thout cul
tivation of the earth, he is, in all countries,
a savage. Until he give3 up the chase aud
fixes himself to some place and seeks a liv

juan. W ben linage oegms, omer arts ioi
