' Drlawahc Water Gap, June 84, 1869.
As stated In my letter of yesterday, the New Jersey
Editorial Excursion loft Mauch Chunk at a quarter
before 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and arrived at
Scranton noon alter T o'clock In the evening. The
scenery along this portion or our route was perhaps
' the most romantic and grandly picturesque that we
have encountered during the entire trip. At Wllkcs
barre, which Is fifty-five miles distant from Mauch
Chunk, we witnessed the culmination of its beauty.
When within about six miles of the formor town by
Tall, although distant from it less than two miles In a
Btralght line, the train paused for ten minutes or so,
to gve the excursionists an opportunity to
contemplate the marvellous view. The line of
the railroad Is extremely tortuous, a necessity
of the configuration of the land, which pre
sent an almost unbroken array of verdure-covered
hills. Winding in and ont among them the train
pursues its meandering course, at times being en
closed on all sides by the mountains, and now and
then suddenly reaching a point from which a fertile
and highly cultivated valley bursts upon oar view.
At such a point the pause Just mentioned was made,
and when the members of our party alighted, a
grand chorus of admiration aroso from all. WUke
barre, like the photograph of a qulot New England
' Village, lay at the bottom of the valley, upon the out
skirts of which we stood, a perfect picture of loveli
ness and peace. Surrounding it on all sides were
cultivated fields, whoso varied hues presented the
most startling and attractive contrasts, until they
were lost In tho uniformity of the verdant
forest growth which crowned the summits of the
encircling mountains.
The train barely paused at Wllkcsbarre, and then
pursued its journey to Scranton, distant nineteen
Billes. By this time the scenery had assumed the
Wilder aspect which characterizes the coal regions
around Mauch Chunk, many of the mountains pre
senting barren wastes, set on" by long black mounds
of refuse matter from the mines The city of
Scranton Itself called forth exclamations of surprlso
from all who now for the first time found themselves
In 1U midst. It Is a thriving place, with about
60,009 Inhabitants, nearly every building bearing the
marks of recent erection. There is no city like it In
the Atlantio States, and any one who Is familiar
With the rapidly-growing towns of Indiana and Illi
nois would at a glance recognize its likeness to
them. The first settlement of tho vicinity
dates back to the year 1740, when some straggling
Moravians located themselves upon the spot. But
for a century It had no growth.- In 1810 there were
but three dwelling houses in the place. In 1SM
there were but few, If any, additions to them. About
this time George and Seldon Scranton conceived tho
project of constructing the railroad known as the
' Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western, the success of
the project, and the prosperity which has fallen to
the lot of the city named in their honor,belng mainly
owing to their exertions. As soon as this outlet was
provided, the town expanded its proportions at a rate
which Is seldom witnessed in the Atlantic States.
In 1844 a rolling mill was erected, and in the
following year the first T rail for railroads
ever made In the United States was turned
out from this establishment. From this
beginning have sprang the numerous rolling-mills,
Smeltlng-works, and other iron manufactories on a
gigantic scale which now crowd the city. As an in
dication of the immense scale on which the business
is conducted, It may be mentioned that 70,000 tons of
the crude material are annually melted In the Scran
ton Iron Worka alone. The town is surrounded by
collieries, contributing the source of the motive
power and furnishing the bulk of the coal which sup
plies the New York market. The city stauds on
rising ground at the junction of Roaring Brook with
the Lackawanna river, the Moosic Mountain looming
up on the east and the Lackawannock on the west.
Previous to our arrival at Scranton, each member
of the excursion party had received a card desig
nating the hotel at which he or she was to be quar
tered for the night, but shortly after 9 o'clock we
were once more united In the dining-room ot the
Wyoming House, where the annual state dinner of
the New Jersey Editorial Association was partaken,
of by the members of the AsHociation and their
guests. Charles Tomllnson, Esq., of the Flemlngton
(Hunterdon county) Democrat, sat at the head of the
principal table, as President of the Association, At
half-post 10 the the cloth was figuratively removed,
and the chairman announced the regular toasts or
the evening, each sentiment being read In detail
by Major Z. K. Pangborn, of the Jersey City Times.
Everybody has, once at least In the course
of a lifetime, attended such a gathering, and no one
cares to read the stereotyped speeches which char-
. acterize such an occasion. Among the speakers were
General Charles Ualght, member of Congress from
the Second district of New Jersey; the Hon. John
BUI, member of the same body from the Fourth dis
trict of the same State ; Jonn x. roster, Ksq., or tne
Newark Courier; Major Z. K. Pangborn, of the Jersey
City Times; and the Hon. James M. BcovcL of Cam.
den. The company were detained In the best of
humor until 19 o'clock, and broke up with the pas
sage of a series of resolutions expressing the regret
of the Association for the loss, and Its respect for
the memory, of the late Henry J. Raymond, of the
New York Times.
At a quarter before 10 o'clock this morning, the
editorial excursion took a special train provided by
the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad
Company, and proceeded with all possible despatch
npon their journey towards the Delaware Water Gap,
arriving here soon after 12 o'clock. This spot Is so
much frequented by the summer toarlst that It Is
' acarcelv necessary or allowable to Indulge In a de
scription of Us matchless beauties. Bat for the
benefit of a ohance reader who has never enjoyed
the unrivalled and Impressive view from "Prospect
Rock," I will venture a few brier details. The Dela
' ware river, after skirting the base of the Blue Ridge
formany miles, here suddenly finds them cleft in
twain, and takes advantage of the opening to sock
tho shortest pathway to the sea. This portion of
the Blue Ridge Is known by the collective title of the
Klttatinny Mountains, which here attain an average
elevation of sixteen hundred feet above the level of
the river, although the mountain range on botn
sides, as It extends Into Pennsylvania and New J or
ser. has an average height of less than
one thousand feet. By a curious
freak of nature, this point was chosen for
the nan through which the river should find an outlet
to the ocean. But there would seem to have been a
severe struggle between the powers which rule the
waters and the rocks before tne Dreacn was enecteu,
The average depth of the river for miles above and
below is but six feet, while at the opening in the
mountain range the plummet does not strike bottom
until It has readied a uepin oi sixty ieet,
iurt the peculiar character of the sediment there
found renders It probable that the gorge was at
one time much deeper, and is being gradually filled
bd bv deposits of earth. One theory by which the
savans have attempted to account for the presence
of the gap la based on the supposition that centuries
mro there was In the country sdovb uuge jane,
rivalling Ontario and Erie In Its proportions, tho
'waters of which, long dammed up by the Klttatinny
rimee. finally forced an opening at its most elevated
point. The traditions of the aborigines have been
liberally drawn upon to support this theory, the
iniiiun name of the entire country to the north of the
Blue Ridge having been MlnlHluk, which signifies
the water is gone." The narrowest point of the
nan is about two miles In width, and so precipitously
do the banks rise here on both sides that there is
barely room for the railway tracks and carrlugo-road
on the Pennsylvania shore.
As soon as dinner had been partaken of at the
Klttatinny House, the excursion party divided up
into little groups, each In search of some advan
tageous point from which to view the glories of the
." .ii their richness and fulness. Those who
JJed the best, for the time ; at .their command were
sluggish stream Into the very Jaws of the mountain
embrasure. Blackhead Mountain, with Its wonder
ful response to the human voice, on the Jersey
shore, and Mount MtasL on the Pennsylvania sMo,
with the lookout of Prospect Rock, half way up Its
rugged slope, presented themselves in succession,
with the bold front of Mount Tammany looming op
beyond. Those who pursued the white landmarks
upon the rocks which start from the hotel, vie wng
the tree-crowned domes of the surrounding hills
from Table Rock, and still further on the rippling
course of Galdem creek as It plunges through Diana's
Bath, down Moss Cataract, and over Caldem Fall,
were also amply rewarded. But the rare prospects
to be had rrom the Lover's Leap, Prospect Rock, and
"Sapper's View" were denied ns all, by reason of the
lack of time to make the wearisome Journey over
the rocks, and return to the hotel In time to catch
the departing train.
As it is, we make the bent use of our time, the
cloning hours of our tour being even more enjoyable
than all that have preceded them during the three
days In which we have encountered so much novelty
aud grandeur. At huir pa. S o'clock we take the
cars, and at Mauch Chunk, twelve miles below, the
party separated, each participant In the excursion
seeking the nearest route by rail to his home, and
the humdrum dally lire to which he must there re
turn, as tho price or the privilege of living In this
world. Among the pleasantest memories which will
break in upon him while at his dally tanks hereaftor
will be this grand three days' tour with the Now
Jersey editors, which is now In Its last regretful
moments. Wasutnaw.

From Our Ottm Correspondent
Nw York, June 26. 1869.
Now do city clerks begin to look longingly for the
time when their conventional two weeks shall have
been granted them, and they may go their several
ways rejoicing. It would be hard to persuade them
that they would be much better off without the two
weeks than with them; that the change of air, of
drink, of food for so short a space of time Is scarcely
beneficial enough in Its results to act as a prop for
the remainder of the year. A few of the larger stores
here are quite lenient in the privileges they allow in
summertime. The stores, Indeed, close very generally
at S o'clock on Saturday afternoons. Some of the
stores, however, permit clerks and saleswomen to
absent themselves for any reasonable number of
weeks, not paying, indeed, full salaries during these
intervals of absence, but retaining their places and
allowing a certain proportion of wages. Bat If I
were a clerk, I scarcely think I should enjoy it were
my employer to come to me some fine morning and
say, "All Baba, you have a two weeks' holiday ; here
Is your fortnight's salary in advance; take it; bloss
you; be happy." No, were I to discover the trea
sures of the Forty Thieves to-morrow, I should resist
the temptation or a trip to Europe, unless I could
make arrangements to write for Tng Eveniko
Tklkorai-ii whilst away.
Cholera morbus is for sale on all the fruit-stands
along Broadway. Only they call it cherries, and
these In their present state remind me of what Josh
Billings says, viz. that eating cherries Is like suck
ing marbles with sugar on ttifm. I am very fond of
the greenness of nature, but I don't like to see It for
sale in the shape of fruit. I am afraid nature Is not
healthy in exactly that form, but manages to put
the verdure and the virus together.
George Holland, one of tho Wallacklan veterans,
published a card the other day, maudllnly bemoan
ing the termination of his engagement at Lester's
theatre, and mildly intimating that when the time
came for him to shuttle on this mortal coll, he
should lie left to turn up his toes without money
enough to pay his funeral expenses. I do not say
that is what George said, but what might be Inferred
from the tenor of the card. The old gentleman has
been snapped up, however, by Mr. Daly for the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, where I presume he will sniff next
Beason to the entire satisfaction of his old admirers.
I have seen Mr. Holland act over and over again. I
admire that sniff. It Is a perfect triumph of nasal
art, and ought to be patented. It Is that which has
gained htm success, and in relying so much npon It
Mr. Holland may be said to have followed his nose.
He has certainly snuTed himself Into the affections or
New Yorkers.
The accommodations this summer along the Tlud-
son are very superior. The steamers C. Vibbard and
Daniel Drew belong to the Albany day line. ' One
or them leaves New York every morning at seven,
from Desbrosses and West Thirty-fourth street, and
reaches Albany at four In the afternoon. Returning,
you leave Albany at nine in the morning, and arrive
here at six in the evening, touching at West Point,
Newburg, Poughkeepsie, Rhlnebeck, Catsklll, and
Hudson. So far as the scenery along the Hudson Is
concerned, American voyageurs along the Rhine
have no pre-eminence to boast of. There is no rea
son for which to exchange the over-written Rhine
land mountains for the romantic legends which halo
the picturesque Hudson.
It has been proposed and reproposed to open at
various points throughout the city cheap reading
rooms and places of Innocent amusement, the ex
pense of which would be only a few pennies to every
visitor. Readings, lectures, music, and chemical
experiments are proposed as the "innocent amuse
ments" In question. It may be sad, but It Is never
theless true, that poor people In America, at any
rate do not relish amusements which are gotten up
solely for their benefit. They would rather go to see
Sinbad once a year than hear every week the sixth
rate readers and singers and lecturers who are always
willing to volunteer. The plan has been tried here
before, and Us success has not been dazzling. Be
sides, poor young men and women like to "pick-up"
one another as well as rich young people do, and
these cheap entertainments afford them every op
portunity. Whether, therefore, morality bids us
countenance the cheap reading-rooms, I leave It to
the easulstlcal readers of Thb Tblkukaph to de
termine.
Santa Anna's house on Staten Island is getting
ready for him to die there, ene of the newspapers
charitably hopes. He Is old enough. He thinks
Staten Island Is the only Paradise extant, and Intends
to write his autobiography during the dog-days.
The reporters of the afternoon papers are rejoicing
in the fact that they are to be admitted to the Spencer-Tyler
wedding that is to take place this morning
In ChrUt Church. A rumor was In circulation that
the door was to be closed in the face of Jenkins, and
that no portion of tiie venal press was to be per
mitted the chance of tlunkeyumi. But that rumor Is
now discredited, and the Etening Telegram of this
city already has its cartooua for this afternoon pre
pared.
Yesterday evening's Express contained a card from
Mrs. Clara F. Meado, or Philadelphia, begging the
publio to suspend all judgment in the cose or her
"unfortunate husband," Captain Meade, ami assur
ing them that all his apparent viola' ions of truth and
honor were only "incidental to his disease."
"Where is Colonel Ryan?" Is tho cry. He Is not at
ponce headquarters, that Is certain, for that estab
lishment has been ransacked mure than once In the
vain hope of discovering him. Some say that Offleer
Downey, In whose charge Ryun was, connived at his
escape ; aud others agree In Marshal Barlow's more
charitable opinion that he was overpowered. It is
"the general opinion" that he left the city on Thurs
day night; and It "is currently reported" that he has
made for Canada. But the detectives who failed to
find the Rogers murderer cannot be expected, by
ferreting out Ryan, to surpass the brilliant rests they
performed last winter. A party of Cuban filibusters
have ensconced themselves In Cooper's Hall, Jersey
City. Their head-centre is a man calling himself
Thomas Jennings, who gives out that he is getting
up a Bllver-mluliig expedition for Nevada. In fact,
he talks nothing but Nevada Its climate, produc
tions, and Institutions. He knows nothing about
Cuba, Is not aware of the existence or any other
locality than Nevada. Nevertheless, Cooper's Hall
and its surroundings have a very recruit-like aspect.
It would not take much to make one trace In them
a resemblance to soldiers' barracks. The recruits
I beg pardon, the silver-miners are mostly Irish and
German young men, who will be quite new to the
climate of those northern diggings. But If I am
clime, and beceme entangled semewhere In the West
Indies Instead of the west United States.
The closing of the Schntzenfest was postponed
until last night Instead of yesterday afternoon, In
consequence of the heat of the weather and the un
pleasantness of tho early portion of the week. The
Schutzenking for the year 1V9 is Mr. Oevert Menkln,
who yesterday afternoon shot away the last remains
of the double-headed eagln, and received the prize
of the hundred-dollar golden medal and the fifty dol
lars In currency. At 0 o'clock the coronation of the
king was celebrated at the Bolvldere, and the floor
was strown with natural flowers, cast there by one
hundred picked boys and girls. The total value or
the prizes distributed is about three ihousand dol
lars. Last night the end came at last In a monster
ball, and the Schutzenlest died out for another
year.
The European steamers are st ill going out crowded
with passengers. The Hammonia and the Minne
sota, which sailed yesterday afternoon, took out at
least two hundred. It Is stated that Miss Kellogg
is to sail on the 16th of July. Similar statements
have sneaked Into tho newspapers several times,
and it naturally becomes a question whether the
lady intends going at all. If she only had as much
voice as she has jealousy, she wonld bojalmost as
great a singer as Parepa-Rosa. I love the latter
singer with an E, because she Is tmbnmpnrnt. I hate
her because she is envious. ' Her name is Kuphro
syne. I will take her to the sign or the Elephant,
and treat her to eggs, eels, and elderberries.
Yesterday morning there was a private ritualistic
baptism at Christ Church, Fifth avenne, the occasion
being tho christening of the Infant child of the Rev.
Dr. Euer, rector ol the church. The church was
ablaze with tall candles, and the company was con
fined to Dr. Euer's family and a few near friends and
relatives. These formed a procession in the vestry
and, headed by Fathor Brown, the assistant rector,
and an acolyte bearing a lighted candle, proceeded
to the font The Infant, Instead of being sprinkled
BTCordlng to the established usage, was dipped,
and that . three times, 'but since
be was wrapped up In a white
blanket, I don't suppose the water
hurt him much. Father Brown acted as godfather,
and young Alfred Euer, a lad or fifteen, aud one- of
the choristers, officiated as sponsor. The baby was
Judged too young to hold the candle, and, from the
habit babies have or putting everything "pu table"
Into their mouths and eyes, I have no doubt this de
cision was a wise one. The candle, by-the-by, was
likewise dipped three times, and then all parties re
turned to the vestry, satisfied, perhaps, that after
all ritualism Is the only plan of salvation worth a
farthing. The performance was all over In a little
while; and, looking at the many lighted tapers, one
might wt-H have thought that the play was not worth
the candles. An Baba.

WYSPKPSIA! DYSPEPSIA! "
I, Elizabeth Branson,, of Brndywin, Dela
ware, formerly of Old Chester, DoUware. couuty,
ra., do certify that for one yoar and a half I
have suffered everything but death from that
awful disease called Dyspepsia. My whole sys
tem was prostrated with weakness and nervous
debility; I could not digest my food;. If I ate even,
a cracker, or the smallest amount of food, it
would return just as I swallowed it;. I became so
costive in my bowels that I would not have a
"passage in lees than from four, and often eight
days; under this Immense suffering nVy mind
seerflcd entirely to give ay. I hud dreadful
horror and evil forobodlngs; I thought everybody
hated me, and I hated everybody; I could not
bear my luiHband nor my own children; every
thing appeared to be horror strkken to mo; I
had no ambition to do anything I lost all love
of family and home; I would
ramble and
wander from place- to place-,
but could
not be contontcd. I felt that I
was doomed
to hell, and that there was no
me, and was often tempted
heaven for
to commit
suicide. So near was my whole nervous
system destroyed, and also my mind, from that
awful complaint, Dyspepsia, that my friends
thought best to have me placed in Dr. Kirk-
bride's Hospital, at West Philadelphia. I remained
there niuo weeks, and thought I was a little bet
ter, but in a few days my dreadful complaint
was raging as bad as ever. Hearing of tho won
derful cures performed by Dr. Wishart's Great
American Dyspepsia Fills and his treatment for
Dyspepsia, my husband called on Dr. Wishart
and stated my case to him. He said he had no
doubt he'could cure me. So in three days after
I called and placed myself under tho Doctor's
treatment, and in two weeks I began to digest
my food, and, lelt that my disease was fast giv
ing way, and I continued to recover f6r about
three months, and at the present time I enjoy
perfect health of body And mind, and I most
sincerely return my thauks to a knerciful God
and Dr. Wishart, and to his great American
Dyspepsia Pills and treatment, that saved mo
from an Insane Asylum and a premature grave.
All persons suffering with Dyspepsia aro at
liberty to call on mo or write, as I am willing to
do all I can for suffering humanity.
Elizabeth Branson,
Brandywine, Del., formerly of Old Chester, Pa.
Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia !
Mr. Wishart I have been a constant sufferer
with dyspepsia for the last eighteen years, during
which time I cannot say I ever enjoyed a per
fectly well day. There were times when tha
symptoms wore more aggravated than at others,
and then it seemed it would be a great relief to
die. I had at all times an unpleasant feeling In
my head, hut latterly my suffering so much in
creased that I became almost unfit for business
of any kind; my mind was continually filled
with gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if I
attempted to change their current by reading,
at once a sensation of icy coldness in connection
with a dead weight, as it -were, rested upon my
brain; also a feeling of sickness would
occur at the stomach, aud great
pain in my eyes, accompanied with which
was the continual fear of losing my reason. I
also experienced great lassitude, debility, and
nervousness, which made it difficult to walk by
day or sleep by night. I became averse to
society, and disposed only to seclusion, and
having tried the skill of a number of eminent
physicians of various schools, finally came
to the conclusion that for the disease at
my present age (forty-five years), there was no
cure in existence. But, through the interference
of Divine Providence, to whom I devoutly offer
my thanks, I at last found a sovereign remedy
in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which
seem to have effectually removed almost tho
last trace of my long list of ailments and bad
feelings, and in their place health, pleasure, and
contentment are my e very-day companions.
