The prairies and marshes ace changed as if by magic- into gardens and cultivated fa-UK, and the woods and even the mountains disappear as if by en-. chantnient. All this is to a degree literally true, and every one would admit ij, were it not that ke it compelled to read and hear it repeated .a' hundred times a day. The Americans make a stranger at last quite hard of hearing. If they would only keep still and let him see for himself, he would come to the same conclusion and express it in his own way. But when war travel lers are drawn along by the hairof the headrj it ties in numan patience mat we oecome disinclined at length to wonder1 at what is really most wonderful." i The river was. low, and the Philadelphia,' upon which he took passage, ran upon a sand-bank. On the occurranoeof such ac cidenls, which he thinks the Americans re- garfl as a kind of sport, be is struck with surprise at their coolness and self-possession. With no noise, and with patience and skill, they at once made the necessary arrangements to get the ,boal off, and with out any signs of anger or passion on ac count of what had occurred. Among the passengers is an organ-builder from Penn sylvania, emigrating with hia family to Iowa who tells him, in reply to the question whe ther he wss leaving home because he dis liked the Americans, , 7 "OTi, no; with the Americans I can get aloiig very well; in fact, belter, if any thing, than with our German people. When an American cornea to ma and wishes to get an organ he tella at ones what he will give. If 1 can build one for that tha bargain is struck. Or he asks me what is the price of an organ; 1 tell him, and it tne price does not suit him he goes away, and that hxth. end of it, ...

Louisville he takes the boat to Cairo, and passes through southern Illinois to St Louis, where he begins his observations by visiting the gymnasiums established and controlled by the Jesuits: . " 1 sny gymnasium, for so we should style it in Germany, although here it is called a university the 4 St. Louis Unniversify.' It is the largest, oldest, and in every respect the most important educational institution In St.- Louis Jt was located in ths year 1820 on a' piece of wild land, which was given to the Jesuits for this purpose, in the midst of the prairie, but now it lies in the centre of the city. My special object in making this visit was to form the acquaint ance of the excellent Jesuit Missionary, the well known-rather lieHsmett,- who has given, to the world such interesting com-' munications on the region of the Upper Missouri and on the Indians in' Oregon. He was unfortunately absent, but wo saw the interesting Indian Museun which he presented to the institution." From St. Louis he passed by railroad to Chicago, the description of which he thus begins: . "Rome was' not built in a day! But Chicago? " True.it is not yet exactly Rome; but it is in the year 850 a city of nearly a hundred thousand inhabitants that is, a city of the second class in America a while twenty years ago it was a small in signiiicant village. Aiany foreign travellers have represented Chicago as an extremely disagreeable place, but to this I can hardly secede." Here he seems to have paid considera ble attention to the publie schools, and is quite surprised to find the larger part of tba . teachers young women. The instructioa in elocution he thinks far superior to what is given in Europe.
