An Intere8tingr Letter from a For-
mer Resident of Salisbury.
i
Puqet Sound, June 2d, 1890. .
Dear!
Sometimes I feel a littIe-4onely,
w"hen I realize that I am just as far
away from home and friends as I
can possibly be not to go ouk pt the
United States altogether 1'haye
traveled over four thousand m iles
on. this trip and , have seen some I
very grand and picturesque scenery.
Leaving Knoxville and the beauti
ful farming lands of Tennessee
behind, I started May Jsl; (my
friend Walker, of GafwWI
oh this long journey. Passing
through the lovely Vblue grass"
region of Kentucky our first stop
was in the hustling city of Cincin
natti, then on through the thickly
populated districts of Indiaua and
.Illinois,? until we were in - the bot
toms of the'great'MisSissippi river,
and there, for the first titne'l be
held that , mighty stream, tha
"Father of . Waters." Crossing
;the Mississippi on that bridge, next
in size to the Brooklyn, we were in
the great city of. Saint Louis.
One day-'waa welt spent in looking
around the "city, aad that night we
went to the theatre. Leaving St.
Louis early next morning, we were
soon in sight of theiMissouri river
and for nearly six hours -we enjoyed
the varied scenery along, this de
structive stream. Our next place
was Kansas City, and there we
stopped over long enough to see
the true get up of a genuine West
erti'city. People there all get a
regular Broadway move on Lhera,
only, if a man wants to stop, pull
out his pisto and shoot; why its all
right, "and no one appears to mind
it. Onward over plains and
prairies, ourruext point was Denver.
Before leaving the plains of Kan
sas you get your first glimpse of
the Rockies, and by the time you
travel a few hours in Colorado you
can see many snow covered peaks,
towering one above the other, nntil
their snowy tops mingle with the
cioada of henveu.-y, .Leaving- Den ver,
then comes the sublime scenefy of
the llockies. Two powerful Rock v
Mountain steam engines are requir
ed to pull our finely equipped train
over this rugged, chain of moun
tains, tor 40 miles you ascend
this Imighty Chain of, mountains
The grade being over 200 feet to
the mile, until at last you are re
minded by the long, loud, and tri
umphant squeal of the steam whis
tle, that you are nearing the high
est point along the great Union
Pacific 'Tis point Sherman, and
on this spot stauds a monument,
that cost about $75,000. No less
than eight passengers were bleeding
at the' nose you see this place is
covered with snow, and tne atmos
phere is so rare that many experi
ence great difficulty in' breathing.
Only a few days ago, a man from
the "low lands", while on these
heights, died, the atmosphere was
too rare for him. Here vou , see
many towering mountains of' pure
white 8uow. To be on a point like
this, and watch the "king of day,"
as he slowly throwB his bright rays
of light on such a picture, is a scene
that were 1 to attempt to describe,
such a description would be nothing
more than a miserable, failure. No
pen oj man can ao it ustice.
There are places where the rocks
rise higher, where the chasms are
deeper, and the torrents mightier
in their power ; but on no place on
earth will one feel so completely
isolated from rnaukind, and left en
tirely with nature, and his God, as
at Shermen on the bleak hills of
Wyoming. Leaving Sherman the
scenery is, for the next "few hours,
varied and impressive. Passing on
through tunnels, under suow sheds,
and over a worthless plain, we start
on the down grade, crossing small,
sparkling streams that look, from
the high trestles, like little silver
threads glistening in the sunlight.
Such is the scenery until North
Park is reached. This beautiful
park contains over 200 square miles
of the finest graziug lands in Amer
ica. It is hemmed in by a range of
snowy mountains, that keeps this
beautiful section well watered. For
game it has no equal in the wold
Bison, wild cattle, deer, elk, ante
lope," mountain sheep "and quail
abound, while there is no scarcity
among the grizzlies mountain lions,
etc. Sometimes, as many as ten
thousand antelopes can- be seen
from the train. Unfortunately, I
only saw a few hundred.. The
scenery immediately around yon, is
one of unsurpassed loveliness, while
the view in thdisance is grand, awe
V?0J Ji? AWAY

snblime, beyond the power of words
to depict. Rapidly we are passing
round rugged spurs, .that shoot out
from towering bluffs as though to
bar our progress yet onward we:
go at lightning speed, until our
iron horse gives one terrific shout,
and then we pass out from these
mighty canons into the valley of
Platte river. Onward we speed
over level plains for miles and
miles, almost forgetting that we are
still on the great chain of moun
tains,1 over 7,000 feet above the
level of the csea.
This country is
covered with sage brush and .sand
hills; and such scenery is very mo
notonous, especially when it lasts
for 12 long hours.. The average j
tourist could see enough id one
minute to last him the remainder
of his days. Now we are on the
"Continental Divide." Here if a
spring should rise on one of these
sage bush knolls, its waters would
divide, aud eventually mingle with
the two oceans, which wash the op
posite .shores of the continent.
Little of interest attracts the eye
until the flourishing city of Ogden
is reached, at this point we all
changed cars, and had time to ex
ercise ourselves in walking around
the city. After listening, to th
deafening roar of the cars for over
.one week, you can imagine how en
joyable such recreation would be.
"All aboard" shouts the conductor,
and away we go headed, for Salt
Lake City. 'Tis only a two hours
ride, but one of the finest in the
West. This beautiful valley is
hemmed in on all sides by snowy
peaks and is kept green & pretty by
irrigation. Not only beautiful but
very productive isMts soil. We are
now nearing the great stronghold
of Mormonism, aud the scenery is
Very beautifal. The days are very
warm, while the nights are cool.
Salt Lake is a beautiful city, and
has several buildings that at once
attract and interest the traveler.
The temple is usually the first ob
ject of interest the traveler seeks.
This building is not yet completed,
and won't be for several years
The temple is of white granite, was
commenced in 1853, and Will when
completed, have cost ten Vhousand
The tabernacle is an lknmct t
building, capable of sealing ten
thousand people. The rof of the
building is one grand areh, and is ;
the largest; -self-sustainvng roof in j
America while the organ is next in j
size to any iu the United States. !
The temple, tabernacle and assem
bly buildings are all enclosed by a
wall five feet thick and eight feet
high, with only one main entrance
reminding one of "ye ancient
times." After viewing the spot
where the great Apostle Bringham
Young) lies mouldering in the clay,
and seeing the handsome resi-
dences he had built for his many j
wives, we boarded the train and I
were soon spending our way along,!
the shores of the "Dead Sea" of
America. Without any known out-
et this mysterious lake has several
rivers ana numerous smaller
streams pouring into it. Its briny
waters are without life, spreading
out perfectly motionless fdr miles
and miles with here and there an
island. The largest of these
islands is 15 miles long. It is a
great body of water and I shall
never forget how it looked. .We
now hear the conductar shout,
"Let-er-go Bishop," so we say o
Salt Lake, farewell once, and for
ever, and once more we are speed
ing our way to the great Pacific
Coast.
After passing out of the Salt Lake
basin, the scenery is wild andjug-
ged. There is food for thought
while riding along in finely equip
ped palace cars, with every modern
improvement and convenience im
aginable how, only a few "years
ago, the emigrant team, stage coach,
etc., had to strive slowly aloug
among countless herds of wild beasts
and blood-thirsty Indian. Now all
is changed. ' Instead of the roam:
ing buffalo, the savage Indian and
the wild and wooly cowboy (that we
school boys of eight and ten years
ago are so well" posted ou), you find
large, well cultivated farm, church
es, school houses and cities, settled
by live, energetic people, who can
tell you of the hardships of Western
life ten and fifteen years ago.
We are now near the mighty
Columbia river, which for greatness
is the peer of the Mississippi, and
for charming scenery she rivals the
Hudson, or any of the idolized
streams of Europe. My first view
of these sparkling waters was just
above the Dalles, where it comes
tumbling down oyer a series of
rocky rapids most beautiful to be
hold. We are now in Oregon, and
j as t across the river is' the great
State of Washington, Forthenexf
one hundred miles I don't believe
there can be found on the globe
another stretch of such grand and
magnificent scenery. One moment
yon are looking out on lovely lakes
and little sparkling brooks, next
moment you are on some mighty
trestle, so high that one almost im
agines himself flying in the clouds;
next you see towering above you.
solid walls two thousand feet high;
a few moments more you give a
whirl and there you are, in some
dense thicket, with the Columbia
many feet5 below. Onward we go,
passing the most beautiful, falls of
water .on the American ' continent.
At. nearly .everjrayjueand,crevjcejSgi
voh see these magnificent falls ; of
water. Some of these falls are lost
inpray, while others come pouring
down oyer cliffs over a thousand
feet high; presenting in the sun's
rays a grand constellation of glit
tering jewels. Last summer when
1 stood in Prospect Park, gazing on
the stupendous falls of Niagara,' I
thought that for beauty and great
ness there was nothing to equal it.
Well, for greatness and overwhelm
ing grandeur there is nothing to
compare to it, but for beauty, and
romantic scenes, you must see the
y Falls of the Cascades." The beau
tiful white spray from some of these
Lfalls is wafted by the winds many
hundred feet away. Some places
the Columbia cuts its way through
solid walls over-three thousand feet
high, and then spreads out again
over three miles in width. .After
seeing all this yon look -up and
there stands -above all, Mt. Hood,
with his frosty head of countless
ages. I believe the most beautiful
and magnificent .views of earthly
scenery are presented in passing
over this mighty range of the Cas
cade Mountains. No attempt of
man can do it justice see it once
yourself and (my word for it) the
vision engraved on the tablet of
memory will ever remain, growiug
brighter! as you grow older. Pass-,
ing on over the rolling lands of
Oregou, our next 6top was Portland j
In crossing the river at this point;
the view for miles is grand. . On
the Portland side the bank is lined
with iWThieTiWr'WSTiitmvSarKuitvi
docks, while; the river is alive with
ffio4ting palaces and boats of every
description. The city is on the
side of a hill and gradually slopes
to the Rater's edge. It is a great
business center and has many costly
public and private buildings.
Leaving Portland, we were soon
at the transfer forty miles away.
At this point the Columbia is very
wide. The train runs into the big
transfer boat and away we steam
across the river. It takes thirty
j minutes to cross, giving all passen-
gers ample time to eat a good square
meal in the dining saloon of the
boat. This time, we leave the
Columbia for good, and our train
darts out in the sure enough forests.
No wonder lumber is a chief in
dustry; the supply seems to be in
exhaustible. Occasionally you pass
a cleared up farm, and now and
then some small town. Such is the
scenery from Portland to Tacoma,
and it takes about twelve hours to
make the trip. Tacoma stands at
the head of navigation on .Puget
Sound, and its position is com
manding and picturesque, being on
the side of a high promontory ex
tending far out into the -bay. Here
you see vessels from every portion
of the globe. After one day well
spent in Tacoma we took the even
ing boat for Seattle. The boat was
the one I took last summer for
Albany, N. Y. " 'Twas the "City of
Kingston," one of the finest that
split the waters of the Hudson.
The night was clear and the moon
never before disrobed herself half
so beautifully as that evening ovcr
the waters of Puget Sound. The
water is clear as crystal, and a view
of this sound by moonlight is one
of surpassing beauty. The water
is so clear that yon can see objects
down underneath for many feet. I
noticed several times large fish
swimming along. You know the
waters of Puget Sound abound in
the finest fish in the world. On
the shores of this magnificent sheet
of water .there are beautiful forests
of trees, wild flowers, and countless
numbers of beautifully plumaged
birds. i Strawberries growf wild,
eight inches in circumfereuce. If
the eye tires of such scenery as that
all that is necessary will be to look
a little further away, and the scene
is all-changed. You see towering
into the regions of perpetual snow
such peaks as Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainer
and others too numerous to men
tion. - Now,Mf you draw on your
imagination, you can see a picture
here that lam unable to describe.
Passing around a very high bluff
von see the city of Seattle,, "gradu:
jtliy rising from the 'waters edge to
a point five hundred 'feet high. The
city is Burrounded by water and is
e8tiDedf;iQ;thei not Jar distant fa
lure, td be the New .York of the
PucifiQ Coast. Less thaa twelve
months ago the city was in ashes,'
to-day she, claims sixty-five - thous
and souls. The days are nice and
pleasant, whilo the uights are cool
arrd refreshing. ' Altogether it .is
the most delightful cli m ate I ever
experienced. If you were here jbu
uld'ntneed go to such places as
Jforehead' City and Blowing Bock,
for on Paget Sound you have, as it
adxa&UtgeslpOo
bined. Besides the sonnd. on ? the
ast, you have Lake Washington
on the west; Lake : Dnibi on the
north, and a canal on the' south.!
These lakes are twenty and thirty
miles, lohg, and are "lovely sheets of
water. Every Sunday the car lines:
are crowded wi.th people going out
to enjoy a ride on the elegant little
steamers that plyv the ' waters! of
these lakes; To be on the . highest,
point iu theqpty and look down on
the waters of Puget Sound and these
lakes, and then - to glance at the
5fiow-covered range of mountains,
ji -another picture that no words
cin depict.. - Such - is the scenery
fjom the "far off "t Atlantic to this
lovely , clime,, where . the . extreme
heats and colds of our summers and
winters are not felt, and where such
things as cyclones and blizzards are
totally unkuown. V -

Internal Kevenae in the House.
Statcsrille Landmark. ' -
There is nothing like keeping the
record straight.. We wish now to
complete the history, which was
given in part in this paper week be
foVe last, of the efforts of Messrs.
Henderson and Cowles, of the
seventh and eight districts of North
Carolina, to secure some; internal
f revenue legislation when the Mc-
Kinley tariff bill was under consid
eration in the House on thoT9th of
May. The matter is of the more
eoinz to repeal the revenue" if
they carried this Congress. Those
who read our citations from the
Record i n ithe Landmark of May
29th, will remember that, the House
being in committee of the whole on
the tariff bill Monday, May 19th,
Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina,
arose and said :
Mr. Chairman. t I have an
amendment which I want to come
in as an amendment to the first
amendment of the gentleman from
Ohio. I want it to follow at the
end of section 35.
Mr. McKinley.' , Does it relate
to the rate of taxation ?
Mr. Hexderson, of North Caro
lina. No sir.
The amendment was read, ; as
printed in Landmark of two weeks,
ago. Mr. McKinley raised the point
of order that it was not germane.
Mr. Henderson thought it was, but
agreed to witldraw it for the time
being upon Mr. McKinley's prom
ise to look it over, with the under
standing that it be considered as
pending.
On Tuesday, May 20th," the fol
lowing occurred, according to the
Record now this is the new mat
ter :
The Chairman. The House i3
in committee of the whole . House
on the state of the Union for the
further consideration of the bill
H. R. 9416, and the pendiug
amendment when the committee
rose was the amendment offered by
the gentleman from North Carolina
Mr. Henderson.
Mr. Holm an. I hope the amend
ment will be reported.
The amendment wa3 read, as it
had been the day before, and then
Mr. Hendeksojt, of North Car
olina. Mr. Chairman, I had
hoped '
i-
Mr. McKinley. Debate is ex
hausted on the amendment to the
tobacco provisions. -
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey.
But, Mr. Chairman, two points of
order were raised against this
amendment.
Mr. Henderson, of North Caro
lina. I ask the gentleman from
Ohio whether he has examined this
amendment? I Was in hopes that
he would examine the amendments
aud agree to insert them in his
bill
Mr. McKinley. I regret to in
form the gentleman from North
Carolina that 1 1 have not had an
opportunity to carefully examine
them.
Mr. Henderson, of North Car
olina. I do not wish to discuss the
amendment at any length, but most
of the provisions were considered
by the House of Representatives of
the Forty-ninth Congress, on March
3, 1887. ? 1 quote from the Record,

; Here followed the. read ing of the
bfll which Mr. Henderson had
passed in the Forty-ninth Congress,'
and which was jh all material re

pending.- 'At the conclusion of the
reading Mr. Henderson' said : i

tye ypte consisted of 130 Demo-

negative vote of 106 Republicans
and 6 Democrats. Section 4 and 5
of "this bill were enacted Into law
tby the Fiftieth- Congressr And. the
other sections of the bill, with
slight alterations, , were passed
through'the House of Representa
tives of said Congress; some of lhera
contained in bill-H. R. 5931, which
passed the House on. my motion on
February 8, 1888, and nil of them
were contained in the. Mills tariff
bill as it passed the house. ' I am
not permitted to debate my amend
ments, but they are very desirable
and proper and certainly ought to
pass. Cries of Vrote!''Vote!"i
Mr. BtrjiAXAN, of New Jersey,
Mr.' Chairman, upon this amend
ment two points of order" were re
served. - I would call the attention
of the chairman" of .tho committee
on ways and means; to, the fact that
two points of order were reserved;
one by the gentleman himself and
the other bv mvself. TKe first'was
that it was not germane - and th i
second was that it was the provision !
of another bill pending before the
House. ..
Mr. Henderson, of North Caro
lina. If the point of order is raised
1 desire to be heard. '
Mr. McKinley. It will take
less time to take a vote than to-discuss
the point of order. . v
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey;
It may be quicker to dispose of.it in
that way. This is. a moonshine
amendment. ;. ; .
The question was put; and the
chairman announced that the
"noes" appeared to have it.
Mr. Henderson, of. North Car
olina. Division.
The puiniittee divided ; and
There-ereayes W, 'h ocs 1 0irT
So the amendment was rejected.
Immediately after this followed
the consideration of the amend
ment offered by Mr Cowles for the
total repeal of the tobacco tax. Oa
this there were ayes 7i, noes 101.
So this amendment .was rejected.
Mr. Henderson at once called at
tention to the fact that only one
Republican had voted for this
amendment while not one had vot
ed for his ; and he might have ad
ded that not one Democrat had voted
against his.
So this is: the record of what
Messrs. Henderson and Cowles have
done during this session .of Con
gress by way of keeping faith with
their constituents, and this is the
true story of how the 1 Republicans
have repealed the revenue ! ' '
Let the above facts and' figures
be kept in mind. No man will
dare deny, thefts. Tkey are from
the Congressional 1 Record.

is. If you have ever tried it, you are one
of its staunch friends, because the won
derful thing armt it is. that when, once
given a trial, L r King's New Discovery
ever after holds a place in the house. If
you have never used it and should be af
flicted with a cough, cold or any Throat,

good things. It is full of interest
ing original matter in the shape of
serial and completed stories; sketch-,
es, essays, poems, criticisms; etc.,
by the best talent in the South. A
glance within its well-filled pages
will satisfy the most critical that
the magazine, in its literary, musi
cal, fashion, and domestic features,
is the" equal of any similar publica
tion in the conutry. That it -has
fulfilled its promises made. a year
ago when its first number appeared
is demonstrated by the evidences of
success in its' phenomenally large
circulatign arid in the superiority
of its reading matter. - The Old
Homestead is distinctively a south
ern publication, whose purposes
and aims are to cultivate the liter
ary talent, the domestic virtues and
the refining influences of homes and
families. The subscription pri.ee i3
but one dollar a year, and the mag

I doubt if there is a wccessful man iu

darkened every day in every week by men
whom ho cannot afford to turn away; by
men who want work for whatrfhat work

do 'with either the one or the other; by
Lien whe-have a past, but whose present is

means, oh! so little; by men who are

Slaking Valentines in London.
There is one London manufactory at,
which the making of valentines- goes on
all the year. It is the headquarters for the
production of those combinations of laced
and silver paper, springs, mottoes and lit
tle bunches of colored flowers, and much,
of the work has to be dome by hand. The
laced paper,, for instance, is laid face down
ward and filed away by hand, and. the
stamped paper. Is but a cheap German im
itation, The valentines are put together
by" women, the most expert of whom can
make three dozen a day. One curious
thing about their work is that they sub
