THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1870.
TEE LE1IW1I VALLEY.
Frrmt n Orca'ionnl CorrtpondenL
I havQ just taken ft trip over tbe Lehigh
alloy route from Philadelphia northward,
through some of the most beautiful portions
of onr State. Tart of the route over which I
travelled has not heretofore been accessible
to the travelling public, and as the scenery
along the line is unsurpassed for variety and
beauty, and can be reached with so small an
ontlay of time and money, I consider the
subject of sufficient importance to the general
public to warrant me in calling attention to
this region in a few paragraphs descriptive of
tbe scenery, points of interest, and general
characteristics of the route taken.
The connecting roads forming this line are
the North Pennsylvania Ilailroad, from Phila
delphia to Bethlehem; the Lehigh Valley, from
Bethlehem to Pittston, and the Pennsylvania
and New York Railroad from the latter place
to Waverley, on the Erie Railway,' near the
State line, and 240 miles from Philadelphia.
The trip made is without change of cars,
leaving Philadelphia at 7".i" A. M., and pass
ing through the fertile and undulating coun
ties of Backs and Montgomery, a portion of
the State whose history is replete with inci
dents of the Revolutionary war, but which now
presents to the eye magnificent and highly
cultivated farms, handsome residences and
farm buildings, and other evidences of wealth
and prosperity not excelled in any land.
At Bethlehem, 54 miles from Philadelphia,
our route strikes the Lehigh river. This is
the junction of the North Pennsylvania and
the Lehigh Valley Railroads, and a very hand
some and convenient passenger depot has
been erected for the joint use of both roads.
Here was the seat of the first Moravian mis
sion in this country, having been established
by Count Zinzendorf, a Swede, in 1741.
Here also is located the Lehigh Univer
sity, so munificently endowed by Hon. Asa
Packer.
Proceeding northward, you reach the flour
ishing young city of Allentown, with its huge
rolling-mill, smelting works, and extensive
manufactories, containing a population of
HO, 000 inhabitants, rapidly augmenting in
wealth and members, by Catasaufjua, Iloken
dunqua, and several smaller but not less in
teresting manufacturing towns, past Slating
ton, so named from its celebrated roofing
slate, through the Lehigh Gap to Packerton,
with its extensive car shops. At length wo
come upon the town of Mauch Chunk,
nestling in a narrow valley at the foot of the
bold, sharp hills which form the Broad Moun
tain range. This is a place much resorted to
on account of its picturesqxie situation, grand
mountain views, inclined planes, Switch-back
Railroad, and other features of natural and
mechanical interest.
From here nature seems to have vied with
art in producing a combination of novelties
unsurpassed anywhere in the Northern States.
Massive mountains, dense forests, green
fields, winding streams, fertile valleys, deep
gorges, towering heights, rushing waters, and
the untold wealth of nature make up a tout
ensemble interesting beyond conception, and
of which a brief description gives but an in
definite idea, being not inaptly denominated
the "Switzerland of America."
From Mauch Chunk up the meanderings of
the Lehigh river to the Summit new features
constantly present themselves.
Leaving the noise of the artisan and those
grand old hills "in whose vaults lie hidden
the archives of the universe," you approach
the interminable native forests dividing the
upper Lehigh from the classic Susquehanna,
passing Penn Haven Junction, Rockport,
and the more sprightly town of White Haven.
Thence fourteen miles of wild, weird, and
almost unbroken wilderness bring yon to
the northern slope of the Moosic Mountain,
an elevation of 1200 feet above the Susque
hanna. A short distance beyond Fair View a sta
tion at the top of the mountain the eye
takes in the entire Wyoming Valley, from
Campbell's Lodge, on the north, to Nanti
coke Dam, on the south, a distance of twenty
one miles. The towns of Pittston, Wilkes
barre, Kingston, and Plymouth, the monu
ment to the victims of the Wyoming massa
cre, the silver sparkle of the famous Susque
hanna, the cultivated farms, green fields,
Bhady groves, cheerful farm-houses, and
capacious coal-breakers, combine to make
this, in the estimation of tourists, one of the
finest landscape scenes to be found any
where in the States, and its ready approach
from the cities of New York and Philadel
phia is destined to make it a favorite summer
trip.
Descending from this grand natural obser
vatory, you ride across the famous valley over
grounds made sacred by Revolutionary tra
dition, and famous in legend and story.
Leaving the theatre of Campbell's Gertrude
of Wyoming by the sinuous windings of this
beautiful stream, over the track of the Penn
sylvania and New York Road, firmly embedded
in the surface of the hard-beaten towpath,
past rocky glens, bristling mountains, bright
openings, densely-shaded islands, and highly
cultivated farms, through the miniature
county of Wyoming, you at length strike the
extensive domain of Bradford county, at a
point not far from Frenchtown, so called
from its early settlement by a colony of
French noblemen, who fled the terrors of
France during the tragio "reign" of Dauton,
Robespierre, and Marat.
For fifty miles you traverse this county,
passing through the valleys of Wyalusing and
Wysauking, crossing the river on a fine
bridge 1500 feet in length, reaching Towanda,
the county seat, beautifully located on a hill
side, gently sloping to the river and facing
the rising sun. At this point the Barclay
Railroad and the Sullivan and Erie lloii
form a junction with the Pennsylvania and
New York Railroad.
First-class hotels, romantio drives, cold
mountain streams filled with speckled trout,
together with rural scenery upon all sides, are
gaining for Towanda a celebrity excelled
by no other town in Northern Pennsylvania,
(iial manner to families desirous of securing
health, pleasure, and economy within a ride
of ten hours from the great centres of New
York and Philadelphia. ,
From Towanda you pass up the west bank
of the river to Athens, the junction of the
Chemung and Susquehanna rivers. Crossing
the Chemung at this place, you have a ride of
four miles over a beautiful undulating plain,
terminating at Waverley on the New York and
Erie Railway, in time to take the evening
express for Elmira, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, or
the not less attractive and beautiful "Watkins
Glen," Bitnated at the head of Seneca Lake,
twenty-two miles from Elmira and forty-two
miles from Waverley.
XT X5 W-TT O R II I 3 III S,
From Our Own Carrestmuient.
New York, June 23, 1870.
Chinese Servants.
The great initiatory step has been taken the
Btep that Is to drive Biddy into common sense
and good behavior, or to sweep her, socially
epcakinp, from the face of the earth. We have
put up with her airs and her graces long enough.
We have paid her from twelve to seventeen dol
lars a month; wo have bocn brow-beaten in our
own kitchens.aiid not allow ed to call our hearth
stones our own; we have been obliged to put our
washing out and to iron our own bosoms and
wash our own door-steps; we have allowed her
one afternoon a week and every other Sunday
out, "cousins" ad libitum and holidays when
ever she bespoke them; we have been "sassed"
by her to the last point of endurance, and now
the weapons of revenge are put into our hands.
The Chines? servant looms up. He is not good
looking; he is not proficient in English; he is not
prepossessing in manner. But he is "willing."
He puts into constant use that great compen
dium of the virtues, the desire to give satisfac
tion. In all seriousness and solemnity I tell you
that Jack Chinaman and his wife when he has
a wife are being introduced as servants into
the homes of New York and suburbs. I don't
know whether you will find advertisements to
that effect in the newspapers, but I do know It
is a fact. A lady and gentleman of my acquain
tance residing in Hoboken a fortnight ago ex
perienced tbe last stage of infinite disgust and
hatred of everything Irish In the way of ser
vants. They had tried every variety of Biddys,
under every variety of conditions, through a
long married life, and the conclusion to which
they had come was that if any Biddy of their
experience got into Purgatory, it would not be
through the intervention of their prayers if she
got out under a thousand years. So they came
to town, and sifted all the channels of news until
they found a Chinaman and his wife. These two
orient pearls they seized upon, and, instead of
stringing them at random, as is the poetical
tradition with respect to orient pearls, set
them to work, John to gardening and Mrs.
Pigtail to housework. The brooms are new,
but they do 6weep clean. So my friends assure
me, at least. But then, since nothing could be
worse than the average Biddy, perhaps the com
placency of these innovators in the art of house
keeping is not to be greatly wondered at. But this
Is not, by any means, the only case I have heard
of, although it is the only one of which I have
such clear and definite knowledge, Yesterday
morning the inestimable woman who is respon
sible for my board and lodging, and who inter
prets the first sentence of the Foster pater
into "Give us this day our daily hash," entered
my room and informed me that she was going
to dispense with two Irish girls who
made her life . a torment to her,
and to endeavor to get along with one Chinaman
instead. She thought with a little instruction
that he could be taught to make beds, bake
bread, sweep, dust, scour, wash, and iron fully
as well as the Emerald Island failures, and
without a tithe of the ingratitude, drunkenness,
and impudence. It is well. I shall expect to see
a little mite of a peeked-vp Mongolian face,
looking as if it were made of persimmons and
mahogany, stuck right over against my place at
table when I go home to dinner. I 6hall take for
granted that my pigcon-ple will be handed to
me by one who speaks pigeon-Euglish, and that
the culinary pottery and earthenware will be
broken all the less in proportion as the vernacu
lar is broken by the Celestial handler of them
all the more. Ring out, wild bells ! Ring out
the requiem of Biddy, ring in the annunciation
of John Chinaman. Ring in the era of the
coolie, with a pinch from the morals of Con
fucius and a speck from the justice taught by
mandarins.
The "Evening Post" Livery.
The New York Evening Post is one of those
good old snoring newspapers which only know
they are living in the nineteenth century from
the evidences of other journals' enterprise
which are scattered around them. In the gov
ernment of its own affairs, however, it has its
hobbies, the laws of which possess a degree of
lrrefragabillty to which those of the Medes and
Persians were a bagatelle. One of these laws,
for instance, has relation to the costume of its
employes. In obedience to it no one connected
with the editorial or business departments of
the Evening Post is permitted to represent that
paper with any coat on other than a black one.
The formula designating the nature of full even
ing costume for gentlemen is not more precise
and Imperative than this requirement of the Af
ternoon Grandmother. Journalists upon other
papers wear what coat they .will, both as re
gards texture, color, and pattern. Not so those
upon the Evening Post. In this sweltering
weather you see these unhappy gentlemen going
to and from their places of business, giving
forth the richest exudations of their being
beneath an agony of broadcloth, and thinking
themselves sufficiently repaid by the honor of
working for the author of "Tbanatopsis." I
don't know, but I presume, that no editor is
permitted to use a pocket-handkerchief that Is
not hemstitched. I cannot swear, but I suspect,
that such vulgarities as dickies, butterfly-ties,
and false wristbands would not be tolerated by
the Beau-Bruramelllan manager of that aristo
cratic sheet. I cannot venture to uncondition
ally afilrm, but I secretly imagine, that an
employe discovered with a cotton umbrella, or a
pair of patched shoes, or a eollar button not of
pure gold, would be immediately dismissed.
And serve him right ! It Is not every paper that
can find time, amid the hurry of editorship, to
lay down rules of etiquette, and to 6ee that
every employe is kept well up to the mark !
Alndame l-aantr's Ballet.
About twenty-five years ago MiiUme Weis
introduced a combination of bullet and pantomime
at the Old Pntk Theatre la this city. Tue ma
jority of the dangers were children, varying la
iige from ten to fifteen. In tho troupe of ballet
dancers that Madame Kate Lanner is soon to
present at Fisk's Grand Opera House, the same
chaiacterlstlc features are to be observed, with
tVe iYrepMfn that tlii" artists are all adult.
' 'lut uoupe is now ou its way hither, and will
arrive In the steamer Allemanla. Tosslbly it
may make Its appearance next Monday; if not,
then on cither the Saturday or the Monday fol
lowing. The principal members of it are
Madame Lanner herself; Mad'lle Bertha Llnd, a
Swede, and said to be a tleca of Madame Gold
schmidt; Signor Albert Geraldini, director; M.
and Madame Albert!, pantomlmlsts and mimics;
He Franclsca and Van de Vergue, male dancers;
besides ten premieres and eighteen coryphees,
numbering altogether nearly sixty individuals.
Among tho ballets that are to be presented are
Le Liable a Quatre, Papillon, Faust, La Giselle,
Hose de Seville, Esmeralda, liobert and Uer
trand, Cinderella, Fee des Fleurs, Postillion
and Vivandiere, and half a dozen others whose
names I cannot recall with sufficient exactness
to specify. Ono ot Mr. Fisk's most trustworthy
agents assured me only yesterday, with one hand
upon his heart and the other raised to heaven,
that although they had been swindled In the case
of the Spanish ballet and the Khedive of Egypt,
this ballet was undoubtedly a big thing. It
would either make them or mar them for the
summer season. The last place at which they
performed was Lisbon, at which they created
a great furore. But what would please Lisbon
might not please New York. Au Bab a.
A SOUTHERN SNAKE.
A RCr.ItErTITIOUS WAT OF OBTAINING NOURISH
MENT HE IMPRUDENTLY EXPOSES HIMSELF
AND IS KILLED A MABVBLLOUS BTOEY.
Some of the papers in the South and West
are trying which can tell the toughest snake
story. The tstate Journal recounts one
which we think fairly entitles its editor to the
champion belt. A negro woman living near
Chesterfield, Virginia, according to the Jour
nal, has a nursing child, which occupies the
entire night usually in imbibing its regular
nourishment. The woman has frequently,
during the period, imagined, while in a semi
somnolent state, that both the maternal
founts were being used at the same
time, and mentioned the circumstances
to her husband and several friends,
who puzzled their brains to account
for it. She was afflicted with asthma, and
frequently sat during the warm evenings
with her dress loosened to allow of greater
ease in breathing. One evening she was sit
ting thus, half asleep and half awake, when
she felt something creeping over her shoulder
and down upon her bosom. She immediately
roused her torpid faculties, and glancing
down, saw a monstrous black snake in the act
of nursing, its basilisk eyes gleaming into
hers. Of course she was frightened almost
out of her senses, and screamed and threw
up her hands in the wildest terror, which
alarmed his sna'ieship into loosening his hold
and executing a prompt disappearance. The
alarm also awoke her husband, who was
at once informed of the astonishing circum
stance. He, rightly thinking that the reptile
would return and attempt to finish his meal,
took a favorable position and waited for him.
In a short time the snake, which was of enor
mous size, came out, and after a sharp battle
was despatched. This is certainly a remarka
ble story, but it is vouched for as strictly
true by Dur Richmond contemporary.
