1 Wilmamsport, June 14, lSll.
No more striking Illustration of the prog-regs of
Pennsylvania could well be given than that fnrnlshed
fy the varied scenes along the railroad route be
tween rhlladelpUla and Williamsport. That portion
(of the Pennsylvania Railroad which was formerly
known m the Colombia Road furnishes the flrat
Ulnk In the Journey. Being one of the first railways
constructed In the United States, it still bears too

Uortnnately, now rapidly disappearing. When It
was constrncted, the Idea of successfully using
steam as a motive power was ranked as a possi
bility rather thai as a probability, and the practi
cal thine aimed at was not to build
n approximately straight road for locomotives,
ut a comfortable, easy-going, circumbendibus
lorse railway with carves leading to convenient
nd popular old tnrnplke taverns, and curves lead-
og from the lands and barns of Influential old fogies
Jwho had a particular horror of new-fangled Improve
ments, as well as from hills and valleys requiring an
innasual amount of cntting down or filling np. The
partial rectification of this primitive system of engi
neering has been slowly progressing for some years,
jimt thorough reconstruction has been only
yrecently attempted, and at this moment
At is progressing so rapidly that soon a
substantially new railway will be In operation for
jnore than thirty miles leading westward from Phi
ladelphia, affording such a marked Increase of faci
lities through the combined nseof old and new
Uracks, and such an admirably constructed line in
Ithe entirely new portions (part of which is already
in operation), that one of the oldest of American
a-allroaas will speedily become in every sense and In
leverv detail one of the Terr best.
After pasting the line of the Philadelphia and Co
j inmbia Railroad and approaching Ilarrisbarg, the old
I (canal system looms prominently into view, stretch
ing westward and northward along the line of the
Susqnehanna and Its tributaries; and, while it still
retains its utility for heavy freight at favorable
easons. It recalls many reminiscences of the days

s the best resource for the speed of twenty-fire
et per hour with which we were whirled along
'yesterday over the Pennsylvania (from Philadelphia
to Zlarrlsburg), the Northern Central (from Harris
burg to Sunbnry), and the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroads (from Sunbury te Williamsport), making
a trip of two hundred miles In eight hoars.
The aspect of the country, and especially of the
towns along the line, has unproved nearly as muoh
as the facilities for travel. Hamlets have grown
Into vlUasres. Tillages Into towns, towns Into cities,
Ywhlle many spots unknown by special designations
( Vo our ancestors are now Important depots or sta
1 turns; and the work of Improvement still goes
I bravely on, with the continued construction of new
1 railway branches, of additional tracks on old rall
V ways, and of new industrial establishments.
? Throwing ont of view all material Interests, the
Vide from Philadelphia to Williamsport offers to the
lovers of varied, beautiful, and romantic Bcenery a
iverles of splendid attractions. After the eye of the
I tourist has lingered with delight upon the suburbs
Lof Philadelphia, Chester Valley, and the broad ex-
panse of fertility opened np In Lancaster county,
Athere commences a grand succession of mountain
I ridges, and picturesque gaps formed by the Susque
f nanna, which, with Its tributaries, drains the cen
ntral portions of the State ; the west branch extend
lng from Sunbnry to Wllllamsport and far beyond,
!, while the north branch forms the bed of the valley
of Wyoming, and, with Its forks, traverses a Urge
I portion of the tier of northern counties.
f Along the banks of the Susquehanna the scenery
assumes a new loveliness, its oroaa, piacia waters
are framed into a glorious picture by the grand con
tours of Clafk's Ferry, a short distance beyond Har
rlsbnrg. Further on, the graceful curves harden
Into severer majesty, and pallsade-Uke blurs rise
from the stream in long stretches of regular rock,
looking like the vestiges of the city wall girdling the
home of some extinct giant race. At each succes
sive step In ascending the river the scenery is hap
pily diversified, the hills at times assuming gentle
undulating curves and again rising in harsher lines
Into proportions . of greater grandeur. The
skies lent their best aid to heighten the
charm by that succession of sunshine and shadow
which reveals every beauty in the landscape rich
with the opulent verdure of June. The wheat-
fields gleamed with all the soft and luBtrous Inter-
mingling shades that mark Its approaching ripeness,
and the oats swayed softly in gentle ripples of sil
vered greenery, while along the roadside a summer
now of elder blossoms showed an unwonted luxuri
ance. In the midst of the wide expanse of the
waters of the Susquehanna, Innumerable tiny Islands
were clothed In greenest grass or tangled thicket,
and the luxuriant verdure spread on every Bide
until even that most prosaic of all utilities, the tow
path, brightened Into a gleaming thread of green
braided into the silvery ribbons of the water upon
either side. Near Northumberland a rugged land
scape answers fittingly to the name, and the moun
tain sides are ploughed with rifts that beneath the
softening effect of distance show like belts of rich.
warm brown gleaming frem between the fine forest
trees, and te complete the faultless panorama a
sunset of golden haze rested npon the mountains,

SISMAKCK AND JAY COOKE.
T.etter from the German Premier to. the
American Hanker.
Last, June Mr. Jay Cooke, who was then at
"Gibraltar," Lake Erie, learning! through Baron
Gerolt that Bismarck contemplated visiting this
country, and especially desired retirement and
rest, sent a cordial Invitation proffering to the
Connt the hospitalities not only of hlsllsland home,
but also those of "Ogantz," bis residence at Chelten
Hills. Within a few days Mr. Cooke has received
the following autograph letter from Prince Bis
marck. Berlin, May 18, 18T1.
Dear Sir: Your letter or the 18th of June last
reached me on the 11th of July. If yon remember
.now shortly that date was followed by the French
declaration of war, you will excuse the otherwise
anpardonable delay In answering so kind an Invita
tion. Being about to embark In a diplomatic cam
paign very likely to lead to an armed connlot, I felt
doubly Impressed with the charms of your secluded
Island and your delicate hospitality. Peace is now
happily restored, but a great deal remains to be done
at home, and I do not know when It will be given
me to satlsiy my old longing for your country. Ac
cept the assurances of my heartfelt gratitude and
distinguished consideration. Von Bismihck.

Communication.
To the Editor if The Evening Telegraph.
It is hoped yon will pardon the writer In occupy
ing yonr valuable columns with a few confirmatory
remarks respecting Franklin B. Gowen, Esq., PreBl.
dent of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com-
'Song since, having become solicitous with refer
ence to tne policies which would seem to govern the
management of the railroad corporations of our
state much uneasiness was occasioned on my part,
noon the Inauguration of this gentleman, as to
Whether tne uuud ,'' . , :
would be adopted, or whether he would be hurried
Song in the current of the age and drift into the
errors and abominations which really appear to be
leaguer the office of a railroad president,
imnelled by this anxiety, the writer has for more
a vear scrutinized the ac'lons of Mr. Qowen
le'ptct SWcle. which he ha. Instituted
the advancement of the lnurest of shareholders,
m regards the principles by which he has been
kerned in hi transactions with the patrons of the
-Lmn over which he presides.
lTPu gStoVtlut the results of this can
ulus lnul.lion has successful demonstrated
WHOM PHI LA DEL PITTA
that a gentleman by which Is meant a man
of honor Is par excellence qualified to represent the
position of railroad president, and that the corpora
tion which Is thus governed becomes divested or its
objectionable features to the community, and la
being unincumbered with the private Interests of
officers, directors, and employes, assumes its true
character of an Improved highway, securing to
Its owners their dues, guaranteeing to Its patrons
their rights, and becoming a powerful auxiliary to
the industrial progress of the country.
la his career he has presented an example of re
form in their management, which must before long
arouse the attention or the publlo to the fact or how
little good la comparatively derived, and how muoh
more could be attained under a proper guidance or
these modern instruments of advancement; Indeed,
it may be said Mr. Oowen occupies the enviable at
titude of a model railroad president.
In attesting this much, more is meant than the
mere declaration would seem to Imply, because "to
be noieit as this world goes, Is to be one man picked
out of ten thousand."
In fact, a model railroad president must adminis
ter not the arbitrary regime of Napoleon with the
Iron conscience of Nero, but he requires the quali
ties or unusual preolslon, rare Intelligence, and
marked decision joined to unflinching integrity, pro
priety, and justice.
In this position (which is made honorable only
when honorably represented) a man's nature Is
tested and developed. The power with whioh he Is
Invested and the beguiling allurements with which
he Is surrounded, the Influence which he wields
tbrosgh the money-bags or the corporation, show
him as be Is, undisguised, it may be, as a leudal
tyrant, or as a Christian gentleman, who In his offi
cial capacity is not unmindful of moral du les to
wards his employes and those who are largely de
pendent upon the use of the highway under hi i di
rection. Ia conclusion, It must be admitted tha' Mr.
Oowen, avoiding the exercise of arbitrary corporate
authority, has, by a modest bearing and by an ad
ministration of honesty and justice, acquired an
Independent moral power which, la not begetting
enmity, has, like the magnet, gathered around it the
support of the community in evidence of Its own
strength.
In the practice of these virtues, this gentleman
exemplifies the early teachings of his venerable and
highly-respected father; remembering, also, that
while "it is excellent to have a giant's strength,
It is tyrannous to use It like a giant."
One Who Asks no Favors.
A BriLMKO Saved by a Fran Extinouishih
The utility of fire extinguishers is dally becoming
more apparent, ana at no distant day they will be
regarded as essential in every well-ordered house.
Of their real value In the event of fire, frem any
canse, we have a case in point. During the thun
der storm or Wednesday evening last, tne Chester
Dock Mills, in Chester, Pa., owned by Messrs. Lewis
& Parker, were struck by lightning. The building
was set on fire, which the watchman attempted to
extlngu eh, but not succeeding be blew the whistle
of the factory. This attracted the attention or some
or the employes, among whom was John Clough,
who hastened to the mill, and procured one or the
Union fire extinguishers belonging to the firm, by
the aid of which he put out the fire, and saved the
factory. The damage was but slight. Those wno
believe in the old adage "that an ounce of preven
tion is wdtth a pound of cure" should obtain one of
these extinguishers without delay. .From the West

The American Button-Hole,
Overseaming,
And O o in i 1 t o
Sewing XVZachine Combined
Has had an unprecedented sale since Its tntroda
tion. They have stood the TEST OP TUB SB.
V BREST CRITICISM, and have wlthsto d the
vilest and most malignant abuse from rival airnnts.
The simple fact of Its UOlNii EVERY VAK1ET7 of
work done by other Machines, making the same shot-tle-stltch
should convince any candid person of its
EQUAL MR1TS, at least, with other machines,
and when we combine the BUTTON-HOLE and the
OVER-AND-OVER STITCto" by which sheets are
made, and several other kinds of work which no
ether machine can do). it should convince anyone cf
Its SUPEKIOR MERITS.
The tedious work of maklsg Button-holes and the
slew, tiresome work of "overseaming" is made easy
by this Machine, and while you are buying a Ma
chine which Is to be your companion for life, why
not get the one which does the greatest variety of
work t
We add a few recommendations:
Boston, June 33, 1870. Dear Sir: I like the Ame
rican better than any sewing machine I have ever
nsed. I can make a belter button-hole on it than
can be made by band; but, of course. It takea
practice.
I have made fifty-nine (59) button-holes In twenty
(Ho) minutes in skeleton coats.
I have bad the machine four months and I have
made 8589 button-holes In coats, which have all
proved satisfactory.
I have changed the machines from button-holes to
plain sewing a great many tunes, and It never geta
ont of order.
It affords me pleasure to recommend the machine
to all, both for family sewing and making button
holes. Wishing you much success.

Boston, June ST, 1870. Dear Sir t We arousing
one of your Plain American Sewing Machines, and
find it the most successful of any we nave ever used,.
gartlcularly for sewing window shades and window
ollands,;maklng the stitch look well on the wrong,
side of the work a result wbleh we Lave not betta
able to attain with other machines.

Boston, July 19, 1870. I have csed the American.
Buttonhole and Sewing Machine Combined for flv
months In making button-holes in the flies of pants,

P. FARaELL,
Foreman at Minor, Beals k Co.'a Clothing Maun,
factory.
Concokd, N. n March 1. 1879. Dear Sir:
I also take pleasure In saying tbat I have for the
past two year, used these machine In the manufac
ture of clothlDg, and I think tbat for even work, and
certainly of execution, there is no machine extant
tbat will compare with them. For the past twelve
years I have used a number of different makos of
machines. Including two of I. M. Slusrer's. and I
make no mistake when I say tbat I never had a ma
chine in ay shop or honse that was to be compared'
with the American lu achlne.
