Gldding. of Drookhn, N Y. A trip across t he continent, aud north to the wilds and ieeberbs ot ( Alaska. What an undertaking. In the memory of most of these now present a trip to the Pacific waa a tedious journey taking months to accomplish, while Alaska was impossible. That was a region unknown, visited at long intervals by Government vessels only, and attended with great danger, two men of war having beeu lost in efforts to reach that far region. How marveloGs the chaugeT Through the energy, pluck and. drive of the age in which wo live, it is today a pleasure trip and can be easily made in three months, taking in most that is interesting to 6ee both on the outward as well as homeward trip. As many present wiil uo doubt wish to make the trip, I propose to take yon, by easy stages, from your homes in New Berne, and laud yon in far off Sitka, 1,500 miles north and 5,000 miles west. We will take it lor granted that tickets are purchased, baggage checked. Kissing every body good bye, we find ourselves on the 1) o'clock train fur the jouruey for Chicago. The ride is delightful; beaatiful farms, gardens, country mansion-1, thritty cities, villages and manufacturing towns are passed in rapid succession ; but few Btops are made as we are on the express train. Jast at dark long lines of bright lights can be seen, from which we know that we are approachiug Philadelphia; a brief 6top only is here made and we start on our journey across the great State oi rVnns Irania - rocked not in the cradle of the deep," but on the cars as they speed over the steel rails; our eyelids begin to droop and we ca'l to the porter to make op our bed; snugly stoned away we are soon asleep. On, on we go. For some reason we awake at 3 o'clock : looking out of the window we sue, for it is bright moonlight, that we are crossing: the Alleghaneys aud have a splendid vie ot the famous Horse Sbce Pass at Altoona. We soon fall asleep again to awake on arrival at Pittsburgh at G a. m., where the iron industry of our country n bo largely represented. Thus far we have ben traveling on what is kown as Ei.-tern time; here we change to Centra! tirne wliieli i ii- li'iir 1'iwit.

The ! park unfolds a succession of pic j tnres each more striking than the ' other. j inare are snow mantled moun tains, profound canons, mighty cataracts, verdant valleys, beauti ful woods, sylvan streams, foaming cascades and mirror lakes. The forests abound with game and the water ot the mouutain streams are alive with fish. While this region has been known to a few hunters and trappers tor sometime, public attention was not called to it until 1S71 when Dr. Haydcn, who had explored the country, presented to Congress a proposition to reserve this section from settlement as a National Park. A law to that effect was adopted with little opposition. A tour to the park can be made in lour days covering all points of I interest, but it is very fatiguing.

In ISSo, Chicago received 19,000, 0O0; New York L'3.000,000 ; Min neapolis 3J,000,000 bushels o wheat. Do you blame them for being proud of their city T But to tarn from the romance of figures to that of song and story we will visit the far famed Falls of , Minnehaha, immortalized iu Long fellow's poem, in the suburbs of the ( city. Nothing you will see after; tins will entirely efface the memory 1 of these laughing waters. While St. Paul is the oldest city : it numbers but 110,000. Minneapo lis has today 150. 0O0 inhabitants. The jealousy between thtj two! places is laughable to outsiders. . I; is sa:d that a minister iu Min , neapohs took his text one Sunday 1 from Sr. Paul ami the vestry met promptly Monday and asked him I to resign. I From this poiut wet everything! seems to change. We strike the ( great western prairies and encouu-; ter a different stjleoflife. They; call thing-i by uew names They ; do not have any road-, they are Called trails ; no barn yards, they I are called corrals; a ravine is a gulch: a quarter is two bits: a; half dollar lour bits. i Taking the Northern Pacific Kail- i road at this poin'. we leave behind j as city life. Soon after leaving , Minneapolis we pass through St. Cloud ,'he scene of a recentcyclone. I What marvelous power is possessed by the ind; everything in its way leveled to the earth, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Emerging from the deep recesses of the forests and passiDg rapidly through the lake region, of which there are over 10,000 in Minnesota, we find ourselves in a level prairie coantry. As we wish to experience a little of ranch life we will alight at Jamestown on James l;iver (which they call Jim Iiiver). a urosperous town in the centre of Dakota. Before reaching this place we pass some of the largest farms in the world, the most nota ble ot which is the famous Dalrym pie wheat farm comprising 50,000 acres, giving employment to 1,000 men. Yoa can plaidy see that everything out here is done on a large scale. Even their stories are big. :- Bat we mast leave the town to instructed ner cuiklrcn-tnree Hours a day. music lessons included, for ohe has her piano on the ranch, aud has a Sunday School one hour ou Sunday, flow is that for a wifeT I tbnk I can hear some crusty old bachelor say "I would marry such a Kirl on the spot if 1 could find her.' Plenty more of the same sort left That gnl was born in Brooklyn, received her education here and was for many years a member of St. Peters' Sunday School. but we have a long way to go aud must hasten on. We take the train at Jamestown at 8 a. m every few miles we pass flourishing and growing towns. e arrive at Bismarck at 12.50, cress the Mis ouri to aiantiam and find it is 12.10 onlv. the reason for this strange difference in the time be iag that we here change from Cen tral to mountain time. L-d me here speak of the com fort with which we travel. The track is well laid, cars all one could ask for, conductors aud porters i polite ami attentive; and the din- i mg car, well, it makes one's month ; water to think over the bill of fare. 1 As we tiy over the country we sit dowu to a bountiful meal made np of the delicacies of the -eavon from both the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, a, well as fish and game obtained from the country through which the road parses. These meals are cooked on the car and served in as good style as at any first class New York hotel. Four or five hours after leaving Mandain we pass the Bad Lands, Mountaiu on fire, and many other points of great interest. Next morning at six, after leav ing Jamestown, we find ourselves att'nstei: almost within sight of : this place the gallant General Cus ; ter and Ins entire command were 'annihilated by the Indians but a few ears since. Now we see but few Indians as most of them are gathered into the reservations set apart for them by the Government. All night long we have oeen run ning along the banks of the Yel low.stone River, but first see it by daylight a: this point. We have passed our. of the monotonous prairie region and our eyes are re freshed with a sight of trees, hills and mountains. We follow the river until we reach Livingston, Moutana, at L'rdo p. m., where we leave the train to enter the Na tional Yellowstone Park, having traveled 1 0:VJ miles since we left Mini e ipolis and nearly ;,000 since since we left New Berne. We take a branch road running dae south from Livingston to Cinnabar, a distance of 51 miles: further the iron horse is not allowed to go, as we are at the boundary line of the park, which by act of Congress, railroads can never enter. Stages are awaiting our arrival ; we change conveyances and after a ride of six miles draw np at the Mammoth Uot Springs Hotel, 0,000 feet above the level of the sc;. The tract embraced within the National Park limits lies" in the northwestern corner of Wyoming Territory and contains an era of 35 miles in width from east to west and 05 miles in length from north to south. .Yonc of the valleys are less than 0,000 feet above 6ea level and mountain ranges hemming in these valleys on eery side rear their proud peaks from 10,000 to 12,000 feet. It is endowed with features so curious and remarkable that it has attracted the attention of the most famous scientists of the world. The park is a region of wonder, terror and delight. Hero tremen doos geysers shoot up their mighty fountains causing the earth to ing up terrace alter terrace ot , scolloped edged, rtmpid pools and basins of hot water of various size, form and temperature. Theascentof the main terrace is not difficult. The novelty and magnificence of the scene is be wildering. Tbo brilliancy and va riety of the coloring matter, as well as the delicacy and beauty of the formations, are indescribably wonderful. Terrace after terrace is thus surmounted, each S or 10 feet high and 20 to 30 feet wide. On each of these levels the water collects in a long tiro of nearly semi-circnlar basins lying close together. The whole presents an imposing front at once suggesting frozen water falls. The deposits which result from evaporation at the margin of each basin, are exquisite in form and color. The rims are fretted with a delicate frost work. The coatiug of the sides of the basins and pools takes on a very delicate aud vivid tint, rich cream and saloon colors deepening near the edges into brilliant shades of red, brown, green and a most beautitnl shade of turquoise blue. The crystal clearness of the water cannot be described; it must be seen to be appreciated. The dazzling whiteness ot the whole mountain, broken by these beautiful colored springs, with the deep, dark green pine torest as a back ground and the blue vaults of heavtn above, all make up a pic tare which when once seen can never ba forgotten. But-we most not linger longer here. After a good breakfast we start on the grand tonr of the park. We have engaged a private con veyance. With a good team and care fnl driver and gaide, our first da's journey will takens to Norris Basin, a distance of 23 miles, a most lovely rido along the West Gardner Iiiver. Many points of great interest are passed : indeed, a surprise is in store at every tnrn. We pass throagh the Golden Gate, a mag nificient defile with rushing water at the base and high mountains on either side. The skill employed in the construction of the road claims constant admiration ; as we pass over it we involuntarily Hold our breath. We soon pass Roaring Mountain; far np its side a cave can be seen from which a draft oi wind cornea with a constant roar. We then pass the Obsidian Cliffs, a glass mountain. Lest some may think that I have been carried away with enthusiasm and exaggerate, let me quote: "One of the forthcoming reports of the Geological Survey will contain a paper by Prof. I. P. Iddings upon an Obsidian cliff in Yellowstone Park. It is half a mile long and two hundred feet high; it is as good glass aa any artificially made. A remarkable feature of the cliff is the development of prismatic col umns. Ihe color is mostly a jet black streaked with brown, red, purple and green. We ride for half a mile over probably the only glass road in the world, which was made by Col. 2sorris by buildiDg great fires upon the largest masses, wnich after they had been heated were suddenlv cooled bv dashine cold water upon them. This had the effect of lractnring the blocks into fragments which could be handled and the road was thus made around the base of the mountain on the margin of Beaver Lake." Mile after mile we pass forests destroyed by fire in the Indian wars which raged in this region. At every turn we see signs put up by the Government "No shooting allowed;" "Put out yoar camp fires. Every few miles we meet parties "Camping out." Arriving at Norris Geyser Ba-in we find a good hotel and have a good appetite for our dinner. We spend the afternoon visiting the Geysers of which there are more than yoo can count, many named, others not named. At every turn you see streams ascending, jets of hot water shooting np towards the sky, and the Paint Pots which boil incessantly a pasty clay of divers colors. It ia said there are 500 of these mad pots in the Basin; every color and shade of color is repre sented. There is a constant bursting of bubbles representing perfectly formed flowers calla lillies, roses, morning glories and other flowers, which disappear as quickly as they are formed. The Gejsers and hot springs have very suggestive names, such as "Monarch", "Palpitation", "Fountain", "Growler", "Bessie's I Steamer", "Steam Yalve", "Steam boat," &c. Well tired out we go to bed and j at 8 o'clock next morning start for Fire Hole or Lower Geyser Basin, i twenty miles distant, and from there to Middle Geyser Basin, four miles distant.

The theory has positively proved that many diseases are due to the presence and "propagation in the system of minute living organizations.

Infection, is created by ab solute experience and scientific experi ments and proofs, by the existence of minute organism or microbes. The Con tagion, or microbe being paiticular. and the minute particles being irregularly scattered about in the atmosphere, it is evident that the inhalation of one or more of those paiticles is purely a matter of chance. Yet, such inhalation, no matter how healthy and strong the man or ani mal thus inhaling it, it will, as a matter of course, be stricken down, sooner or later, by the myraids of microbes that will, according to the contagious poiso nous ni.itter inhaled, breed into his sys tem.

The word Microbe was first introduced by Professor Charles Sedillot and in dorsed by the great philogist.

My system was so poisoned with catarrh of over thirty years' stand ing, in connection with the alarming symptoms of malaria and diseased liver, that life was a burden. As a result, the liver, kidney, urinary organs, heart, bronchial tubes and lungs were involved, ciusing dyspepsia, neuralgia and rheuma tism, with many alarming, indescribable symptoms. Have been under the care of physicians and have taken all the popular I intent physics and medicines of the day, aud belts, batteries and baths, without avail, and had almost given up hope of relief. But one of God's good and per feet gifts to man (through the instrumen tality of mas) was made known to me by a letter to my wife from her father, a man of TO, in Albany, Mo., stating that Wm. Radam's Microbe Killer was curing all Djumlrry, Galvf.sToX, Tex., Maich in, IW't. A, Behrends, Agent for Win HatUni's M icrobe Killer : Dear Sin I have been suit'eiing for years with a complication of diseases which oiiinaied Irom a diseased liver. I had dysentery. Moody llnx and internal tumors. I consulted some of the most eminent physicians in the city and used tbeir medicines for a long time without getting any relief. I was lir.ally given up to die, when a friend advised me to try the Microbe Killer. As a last resort I gave it a trial, and the relief that it gave was wonderful. When 1 commenced to take Microbe Killer I weighed only $( pounds. My present weight is 14fi pounds, and I sm restored to my usual go id health. John W. Df.ruh k.

Knoxvoj-k, Tean., Nov. 14. '88 The Microbe Killer Co.: Gentlemen: Having tried every sug gested remedy for chronic rheumatism for more than ten years, I waa dubious aa to the efficacy of your Microbe Killer, but am frank to admit that a cure (and I earnestly trust a permanent one) waa the result after having taken not quite the entire jag you sent me according to directions. Accept my thanks. I am dear air, re fpectfully yours, Fbancis P. Dooly. New Vobk, Sept. 25, "88. The Microbe Killer Co : Gentlemen: la reply to your inqn'ry as to the effect that the Microbe Killer had on me, I would say that if it cost me $100 per gallon I would not be without it. I took it three weeks and am now clear of all pains and aches. I suffered for the past ten years with muscular rheumatism, and it has been so bad at times as to pre vent my attending to busineaa.

I.ke all hell holes in this world it is surrounded with many things both beautiful and lovely. A further ride of ms miles brings us to Upper Geyser Basin. The principal gevsers of the Park, which are also the most powerful in the world, aie in this Basin. The earth is full of rumbling and gurgling sounds and the air is laden with sulphurous fumes. Stupendous fountains of boiling w ater veiled in spray, shoot toward heaven, until they expend their force when they fall iu showers of tl ishing pearls with a shock that shakes the grouud. As you sit on tl.e porch of the hotel, only a few rods from "Old Faithful", j ou can take in the whole range'of the Basin aud every few minutes can see one or tho other of the Geysers shoot. The most important Geyser in this Basin is named the "Giantess". In discribing this I will quote Mr. Langford, an early explorer of this region, lie says: "No water could be discovered, but we could dis tinctly hear it gurgling and boiling at a great distance below. Suddenly it began to rise, sending out large masses of steam causing a general stampede. When near the top it became stationary and we returned j to look down upon it. It was! foaming and surging at a terrible I rate. All at once it seemed seized j with a fearful spasm aud rose with j idcredible rapidity, hardly afford- j ing us time to rlee to a safe distance when it burst, rising iu a column i to the marvelous height of li50 feet. , This grand eruption continued for i 20 minutes and was the most mag ; nitn-pnr, sis it we ever wituesseu We were standing on the Geyser nearest the sun, the gleams 'of which tilled the spark ling columns of water and spray with myriads ot rainbows whose arches were constantly changing dipping and fluttering hither ana thither and disapp ai ing only to be succeeded by others. The eruption is accompanied by subterraneau tremors and hoarse rumblings which are terribld to feel." It would take hours to give even the names ot all of the Geysers, but to give jou a little idea of wh it istobesiea in th'8 basin, 1 j will mention a few : j Old Faithful, time of action, Go j minutes, duration of eruption, o minutes, height of column 150 leer, j Bee Hive, time of action 7 to 25 j hours, daration of eruption 3 to IS I minutes, height of column 210 j feet. Giantess, time of action 14 days, duration of eruption height of column 250 feet. Grand, time, of action 16 to 31 hours, duration of eruption 10 minntes, height of column 200 feet. Turban, time of action 15 min utes, duration of eruption J5 seconds to 5 minntes, height of column 25 feet. Castle, time of action 48 hours, duration of eruption 30 minutes, height of colamn 100 feet. Giant, time of action -1 days, duration of eruption li hoars, height of column 200 feet." Splendid, time of action 3 hours, duration of eruption 10 minutes, the side of I height of column 200 feet. We spent the 5th ot September at this interesting point ; it snowed all day. We retrace our steps to Fire Hole, where we stay all night; uext day we take a long ride of 30 miles, fording streams, lunching in the woods, climbing over Madison Mountain, passing Mary's Lake, a beautiful sheet of water at an ele tion of 8.33G feet, Sulphur Moun tain, and a view of the snow capped peaks of the Rocky Moun tain, for beauty not surpassed, if equaled, in the whole of Switzer land. At 5 p. m. we draw up at the hotel at the grand canon of the Yellowstone. Take a good night's rest, for yoa have in store for the morrow the grandest sight this side of heaven. The hotel is quite primitive,made of pine boards; we took the pre caution before dark to stop up the knot holes with paper to keep out the cold, as they have a heavy frost here, with few exceptions, every night in the year. The morning dawns bright and beautiful. We do the best we can on the subject of breakfast and while the boys are hunting up the horses, which are allowed to run loose during the night, wo take a stroll to the rapids and upper falls of the Yellowstone, the roar of whose waters we can plainly hear at the hotel. The fall is 80 feet wide and the us is the most .stupendous H;ene of nature the awful canon of the Yellowstone. Well is this place named Inspira tion .Point, lor emotions come over you never before felt and impossible to describe. Here, if nowhere else in the world, the most hardened cannot restrain lrom exclaiming "How little is man ; how great ia God." Where shall I begin ! How shall I in any wise describe this tremen dous sight, its overpowering gran water falls in an unbroken sheet about 120 feet. Set in the midst of i deur, its inexpressible beauty, savagely romantic scenery it pre ) As we stand upon the rock look sents a picture which the most nng east far in the distance is the landscape painters from attempting to celebrated of would shrink put on canvas. But the horses are ready and we mount; carriages can go no further. They climb hills, descend into val leys, the road almost perpendicu lar; along the edge of the precipice the road is so narrow that the guide cannot walk along side of the head of the horse, a false step and both would fall 2,000 feet, but so sure footed are they that an accident has never happened. We pass the falls of Cascade Creek the great fall and Lookout Point. On we go until we are ordered to dismount, horses even can go no further. After a short rest we follow the guide, using great care, for a slip of the foot means instant death. The point we are trying to reach is that immense jutting rock ahead ; not a word is spoken. Clinging to the rock aa we advance, at last we stand on Inspiration Poiat: before aim aatK outline or a range of the Rocky Mountains plainly marked against the deep blue sky. Iext and nearer, snow capped peaks ; nearer stilly the bright green forests, millions of pine trees 100 to 200 feet high each as straight as an arrow growing on the very brink of the oanon, stand ing there as an innumerable army in fall dress parade, aa if doing homage in the presence of this mighty work of God. Clipg to the rock and if you dare look down ; 2,000 feet below you is a silver thread. It is the Yellow stone River dashing over the rocka. On a pinaclo 1,000 feet above the river but 1,000 feet below you, is an eagle's nest tilled with young, while tho mother bird soars around in a majestic circle now and then giving a sunn snrieK to let tne little ones know she was near. Three miles to the right are the grand falls of the Yellowstone,twice the height of the Niagara. To the left three miles the water dashes on against those rocks so far below yon. cannot hear a sound. The stillness is as solemn aa midnight. By wind and wave, frost and snow, glacier and mountain torrent, by hot boiling springs, the sculp turing of God upon these rocka is most surprising. Oastles are re produced by the hundred; great cathedral spires by thousands. grander, loftier, more sublime than any to be seen beyond the see : but above all else yon are fascinated by toe magnificence ot color. From beds ot moss of the most vivid green, turrets of rock shoot np as crimson as blood. The whole gorge seems to be in flames. It looks as if a terrible earthquake had split assonder the mountain to its base and a cyclone of rainbows bad fallen out of the sky and hone themselves like glorioas banner, bat torn and shattered upon rthe ragged rocks. Not only the colors of the rainbow, bat every color yoa have ever seen fa before yoa: it is a wilderness of color. Over ail is the clear blue vault of Heaven ia the centre of which, for it is noon. shines the glorious San. Artists cannot paint it; words fail to de scribe it. What I have tried to describe is repeated for a distance of eighteen milet; we have a view of bnt six miles. To 6c Continued. MEMOLOT 2" f llffedweadertacea. BenksWa ft- V r 1 f. ". ' WW-..- -('-. t!
