WrKr-Thi Connecticut River
Hartford New Haven To New York,
Leaving Boston on the afternoon of Saturday,
the fifth of February, we proceeded by nnotoer
railroad to Worcester, a pretty New Lnglan 1
town, where we had arranged to remain under
the hospitable roof of the Governor of the State
until Monday morning.
These towns and cities of New Eneland (many
of which would be Tillages In Old Kngland) are
as favorable specimens of rural America as
their people are ol rural Americans. Tho well
tnmined lawns and the green meadows of homo
are not there: and the grass, compared with
our ornamental ploU and pasture), is rank and
rouph and wild; but delicate slopes of laud,
gently swelling hills, wooded valleys, and
slender streams, abound. Kvcry Utile colouy
of houses has Its church ana school-boue
peeping trom among the white rool's aud shady
trees; every house is the whitest of tho
white; evey Venetiau blind the greeuest
of the green; every fine day's sky the bluest of
the blue. A sharp dry wind and a slight
iiost had . so hardened the roads when
we alighted at Worcester, that their furrowed
tracks werelike ridges of granite. There was
tho usual aspect of newness on overy object, of
course. . Ail the buildings lookedjas If they had
been built and painted that morning, and could
be taken down on Monday with very little trou
ble. In the keen evening air every sharp out
line looked a hundred times sharper than ever.
The clean card-board colonnades bad no more
jerppective than a Chinese bridge on a tea cup,
and appeared equally well calculated for use.
The razor-like edges of the detached cottages
seemed to cut the very wind as It whistled against
then), and to send it smarting on Us way with a
shriller cry than before. Those slightly built
wooden dwellings behind which the sua was
setting with a brilliant lustre could be so looked
through and through, that the idea of any
inhabitant being able to hide himselt from the
public gaze, or to have any secrets from the
public eye, was not entertainable for a moment,
liven where a blazing fire shone through the
uncurtained windows of some distant house, it
bad the air of being newly lighted, and of lack
ing warmth; aud, instead of awakening thoughts
of a snug chamber, bright with J'accs that first
saw the light round that same hearth, and
xnddy with warm hangings, it came upon one
suggestive of the smell of new moitar and damp
walls.
So I thought at least that evening. Next morn
ing when tbe sun was shining brightly, and the
clear church-bells were ringing, aud sedate
people in their best clothes enlivened the path
way near at hand, and dotted the distant thread of
road, there was a pleasant Sabbath poacel'ulucss
on everything, which it was good to feel. It
would have been tbe better for an. old church;
better still for some old graves; but as it was. a
wholesome repose and tranquillity pervaded the
scene, which, after tbe restless ocean and tho
hurried city, bad a doubly grateful Influence on
the spirits.
We went on next nrornlng, still by railroad, to
Ppringfleld. From that place to Hartford,
Whither we were bound, is a distance of only
five-and-twenty miles, but at that time of the
year the roads were so bad that the journey
would probably have occupied ten or twelve
hours. Fortunately, however, the winter hav
ing been unusually mild, the Connecticut river
was "open," or. in other words, not frozen.
The captain of a small steamboat was going to
make his first trip for the season that day (the
second February trip, I believe, within the
memory of man), and only waited for us to go
on board. " Accordingly we went on board, with
as little delay as might be. He was as good as
his word, and started directly.
It certainly was not called a small steamboat
Without reason. I omitted to ask the question,
but I should think it must have been of about
hull a pony power. Mr. Paap, the celebrated
dwarf, might have lived and died happily in the
cabin, which was fitted with comniou sash
wiudows like an ordinary dwelling-house.
These windows had bright red curtains, too,
hung on Black strings across tho lower panes;
bo tbat it looked like the parlor of a Lilliputian
public-house, which had got afloat in a flood or
some other water accident, aud was drifting
nobody knew where." But even in this chamber
there was a rocking-chair. It would be impos
sible to pet on anywhere, in America, without a
rocking chair.
I am afraid to tell how many feet short this
enselwas, or how many feet narrow; to apply
the words length and width to such measure
ment would be a contradiction in terms. But I
may state that we all kept the mi Idle of the
deck, lest the boat might unexpectedly tip over;
and that the machinery, by some surprising
process of condensation, worked between it and
the keel; the whole forming a warm sandwich,
about three feet thick.
It rained all day at I once thought it never
did rain anywhere but in tbe Highlands of
Scotland. The river was lull of flouting block
of ice, which were constantly cruuching and
cracking under us; and the depth ot
water, . in the course we. took
to avoid tbe larger masses, carried down
the middle of the river by the current, did
not exceed a few inches. Nevertheless, we
moved onward dexterously; and, being well
wrapped up, bade donance to tho weather, and
enjojed the journey. Tbe Connecticut river is
a firje stream, and the banks in summer time
re, Itaave. no doubt, bcautilul; at all events I
was told so by a young lady in the cabin; and
She should be a judge ot beauty. If the possession
of a quality Include the appreciation of it, for a
more beautttul creature I never looked upon.
After two hour, ami a half of this odd travel
ling (including a stoppage at a small town,
where we were saluted by a gun coniiderably
bigger than our own chimney), wo reached
Hartford, : and straightway re,irc7to an ex
tremely comfortable hotel, except, as usual m
the article of bedrooms, which, in almost ev'orv
place we visited, were very conducive to early
rising. J
We tarried here four day. The town Is beau
tifully sitnated in a basin of green bilU; the soil
is ric h, V II wooded, and carefully iuiprovud.
It is the seat of the local Legislature of Con-
necticut, which sage body euueted, in bygone
times, the renowned code of "Blue Laws," in
virtue whereof, among other enlightened pro
visions, any citizen wbo could be proved to have
kissed his wife on Sunday was punishable, I be
lieve, with the stocks. Too much of the old
Puritan spirit exists in these pHrts to the present
hour; but its influence has not tended, that I
know, to make the people less hard iu their bar
gains, or more equal in their dealings. As I
never heard of its working that eUVct anywhere
Ise, I inter tbat tt never will here. Indeed, I
am accustomed, with reference to great profes
sions aud severe faces, to judge of the goods of
the other world pretty much as I judge of the
foods of thl; and whenever I see a dealer in
such commodities with too treat a display of
them ia his window, I doubt the quality ol the
Article within.
ti1 Hertford stands the famous oak in which
ths charter of Kins; Charles was hidden. Il is
tw tfisleted. in a emtlcnaa' tardea, la the
THE DAILl EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2C, 1867.
Stnto Houpe Is the charter itself. I found the
conrts of law here Just the same as at Boston;
the public institutions almost as pood. The
Insane Asvlam is admirably conducted, aud so
Is the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.
I very much questioned within -Riyself,
as I walked through the Insane Asylum,
whether I should have known the atten
dants from tbe patients, but ior the lew
words which passed between the former
and the Doctor, in reference to the persons
uml r their charee. Ol courne I limit this re
maik merely to tbeir looks; lor the conversation
ol the mad people wan road enough.
Thcte was one little prim old lady, of very
eniiltng and (rood-humored sppearaucc, who
came sidling up to me from the end of a long
paHeiige, and, with a courtesy of inexpressible
romlcsei nion, propounded this unaccountable
inquiry
"Does Pontcfrnct still flouriKh, sir, upon the
soil of England?''
"He doe?, nia'aib." I rejoined.
"When you lust saw him, sir, he was1'
"W II, ma'am," said I, "extremely well. He
begged me to present his compliments. I never
saw him looking better."
At this the old lady was very mtich. delighted.
After glancing at tne for a moment, as if
to be quite cure that I was serious
in my recpectlul air, she sidled back some
pace. Hilled forward again, made a sudden fkip
tat which I precipitately retreated a step or
two); nnd said:
"I am an antediluvian, sir."
I thought ihr; best thing to say was, that I
had suspected as much from the iirst. There
fore I said to.
"It Is an extremely proud and pleasant thing,
sir, to bo au an'odiluvian," said tho old lady.
"I should think it was, ma'am," I rejoined.
The old lady kissed her hand, gave an
other skip, smirked and sidled dowu the gallery
in a most extraordinary manner, and ambled
gracefully into her own bedchamber.
In another part of the building there was a
male patient iu bed, very much flushed and
heated.
"Well !" said he, starting up and pulling off
his nightcap; "It's all settled at last. I have
arranged it with Queen Victoria."
"Arranrcd what?"' nuked the Doctor.
"Why, that business," passing his hand wearily
across his forehead, "about tho siege of New
otk."
"Oh 1" said I, like a man suddenly enlight
ened. For ho looked at me for an answer.
"Yes. Every house without a signal will bo
fired upon by the British troops. No harm will
be done to the others. No harm at all. Those
that want to be saved must hoist flags. That's
all they'll have to do. They must hoist flasis."
Eveu while ho was speaking he seemed, I
thought, to have some faint idea that his talk
was incoherent. Directly he had said those
worde, he lay dowu again nnd gavo a kind of
groan, and covered his hot Load with the
blankets.
There was another, a young man whoso mad
ness was love and music. Alter playing on tho
accordeon a march he had composed, ho'was
very anxious that I should walk into his cham
ber, which I immediately did.
By way of being very knowing, and humoring
him to the top of his bent, I went to the win
dow, which commanded a beautiful prospect,
and remarked, with au address upon which!
greatly plumed myself:
"What a delicious country you have about
these lodgings of yours."
"Poll !" said he, moving his fingers carelessly
over the notes of his instrument: "well
for such an institution as thist"
I dou't think I was ever so taken aback In all
my life.
"I come here just for a whim," he said coolly.
"That's all." 3
"Oh! Thut'sallPsaidl.
"Yes. That's all. The Doctor's a smart man.
He quite enters into it. It's a joke of mine. I
like it tor a time. You needn't mention it, but
I think I shall go out next Tuesday I" .
I assured him that I would consider our inter
view perlectly confidential, and reloined the
Doctor. As wo were passing through a gallery
on our way out, a well-dressed lady, of quiet
and composed manners, came up, and, proffer
ing a slip of paper and a pen, begged that I
would oblige her with an autograph,. I com
plied, and we parted.
"I think I remember having had a few In
terviews like that with ladies out of doors. I
hope she ts not mad ?"
yes.7'
"On wlat sublect? Autographs?"
"No. She hears voices in the air."
'Well 1" thought I, "it would be well if we
could shut up a few false prophets of these later
times, who have professed to do the same; and
I should like to try the expentuent on a Mor
monist or two to begin with.".
In this place there is the best jail for untried
offenders in. the world. There is also a very
well-ordered State prison, arranged upon the
same plan as that at Bobton, except that
here there Is always a "sentry on the
wall with a loaded gun. It contained at
that time about l two hundred nrlsoners. A
spot was shown me In the sleeping-ward wher
a watchman was murdered some years since in
the dead of night, in a desperate attempt to
escape made by a prisoner who had broken
from his cell. A woman, too, was pointed out
to me, who, tor the murder of her husband, had
tii en a close prisoner lor sixteen years.
"Do you think," I asked of my eonductor,
"lhat. alter so verv lone an Imprisonment, she
has any thought or hope of ever regaining her
uoeriy v
"Oh dear, yeB," he answered. "To be sure
she has."
"he has no chance of obtaining it, I sup
pose?" "
'Well, I don't know;" which, by-the by, is a
national answer. "Her friends mistrust her."
' What have they to do with it V I naturally
Inquired.
"Well, they won't petition."
"But if they did, they couldn't get her out, I
suppose?"
"Well, not tho first time, perhaps, nor yet tho
second; but tiring and wearying for a lew years
might do it."
"Does that ever do it ?"
"Why, yes, that'll do it sometimes. Political
friends 'II do it sometimes. It's protty often
doi.e, oue way or another."
I shall alwavs entertain a verv nleasant and
grateful recollection of Hartford. It is a lovely
place, and 1 had many friends there whom I
can never remember with indifference. We left
it with no little regret on the evening of Friday,
the 11th. and travelled that nhfut bv railroad to
New Haven. Upon the way the guard aud I
were formally introduced to each other (as we
usually were on such occasions), and exchanged
a variety of small talk. We reached Now Haven
at about eight o'clock, after a Journey of three
hours, aud put up ior the night at the best inn.
New Haven, known ulso as the Citv of Elms.
is a tine town. Many of its streets (as its alias
sutliciently Imports) are planted with rows of
grand old elm trees; and the same natural orna
ments surround Yale College, an establishment
ol considerable eminence and reputation. The
various departments of this institution are
erected In a kind of 'park or common in the
mioiiio or the town, wnere mey are aimiy
visible among the shudowing trees. The
effect is very like that of an old cathe
dral yard in England, and when their branches
are In lull leaf, must be extremely picturesque.
Even in the winter time, these groups, ot
well-grown trees, ciusteriug among the busy
streets und houses ot a thriving city, nave a very
quaint appearance, seeming to bilng about a
kind of compromise between town and country,
tt.8 f each had met the other half-way, and
bUHken hands upon it, which is .at once novel
and pleasant. .

vagabonds do so particularly favor, it seeiaed
the more probable,
liie great uUkrcnce 1a appearance pttwcia
thcfe packets and ours Is that there U to much
of ihem out of the water, the main-deck being
enclosed on all sides, and filled with casks and
poods, like any second or third floor In a stack
of warehouses, and the promenade or hurrlrane
deck being atop of that again. A part of the
machinery is always above this deck, where the
connecting-rod, iu a strong and lofty frame, is
seen working away like an iron top-sawyer.
There is seldom any mast or tackle; nothing
aloft but two tall black chimneys. The
man atthe helm is shut up in a little house in
the forepart of the boat (the wheel being
connected with tho rudder by iron chains
working the whole length of the deck), and
the passengers, unless the weather be very
fine Indeed, usually congregate below. Directly
they have lelt the wharr, all the life, and stir,
and bustle of a packet cease. You wonder for
a long time bow she goes on, for there seems
to be nobody in charge of her; and when
another ot these dull machines comes splashing
by, you feci quite indignant with it as a sullen,
cumbrous, ungraceful, unshiplike leviathan,
quite forgetting that the vessel you are on
board of is Its very counterpart.
There is always a cleik's office on the lower
deck, where jou pay your fare; a ladies' cabin,
baggage, and stowage rooms, engiieers' room,
and in short, a great variety of perplexities,
which render the discovery of the gentlemen's
cabin a matter of some difficulty. It often occu
pies the whole length of the boat (as it did in this
case), and has three or four tiers of berths in each
tide. When I first descended Into the cabin of
the New York, it looked, in my unaccustomed
eyes, about as long as the Burlington Arcade. .
The Sound which has to be crossed on
this passage is not always a very sate or
pleasant navigation, and has been the scene
ot some unfortunate accidents. It was a
wet morning, and very misty, and we soon
loet sight of land. The day was calm, how
ever, ajjd brightened towards noon. After
exhausting (with good help from a friend)
tho larder aud the stock ot bottled beer, I
lay down to sleep, being very much tired
with the fatigues of yesterday. But 1
awoke irom my jap in time to hurry up
and see Hell Gate, the Hog's Back, the
Frying Pan, and other notorious localities
attractive to all readers'of famous "Diedrleh
Knickerbocker's History." We were now in a
narrow channel, with sloping banks on either
side besprinkled with splendid villas, and made
refreshing to the sight by turf and trees. Soon
we Bbot in quick succession past a light-house,
a mad-house (how the lunatics flung np their
caps and roared in sympathy with the headloLg
engine and the driving tidel), a jail, and other
buildings, and to emerged into a noble bay,
whoee waters sparkled in the now cloudless
sunshine, like Nature's eyes tnrned up to
Heaveil ZE&SS3EIiniC33 WtttL&t$Zl
Then there lay stretched out before us to the
right coulu6ed heaps of buildings, with here
aud there a spire or steeple looking down npon
the herd below; and here and there again
a cloud ol lazy smoke ; and in the
foreground a forest of ships' masts, cheery
with flapping sails and waving flags.
Crossing irom among them to the opposite
shore were steam ferry-boats, laden with people,
coaches, horses, wagons, baskets, boxes:
crossed and recrosscd by other ferry-boats; all
travelling to and fro, and never idle. Stately
among these restless insects were two or three
large ships, moving with slow majestic pace, as
creatures of a prouder kind, disdainful of their
puny journeys, and making for the broad sea.
Beyond were shining heights, and Islands in
tho glancing river, and a distance scarcely less
blue and bright than the sky it seemed to meet.
The city's hum and buzz, tho clinking of cap
Hans, the ringing of bells, tho barking of dogs,
the clattering of wheels, tingled in the listening
ear. All of which ltfo and stir, coming across
the stirring water, caught new life and anima
tion from its free companionship; and sympathiz
ing with its buoyant spirits, glistened as it
seemed, in sport upon Its surface, aud hemmed
the vessel round, and plashed the water high
about her sides, and, floating her gallantly into
the dock, flew off again to welcome other
comers and speed before them to the busy port.
