A Week In Hotlua, KaiiHiiH.
Americans travel In Europo expressly for
research, plcasuro, health and recreation,
from which they obtain a glimpso of tombs
of kings, poets and phllosophors. Not be-
ng satisfied with tbo traditional knowlodgo
of thoso mythical sages they excavato their
tombs and entombed cities with n hopo of
perfecting a sclcnco which can bo ot no
practical utility to tho present generation,
except to gratify a curious ambition. But
wo do not propose to travel co9t to And
Sntlna, and It Is not halt so far as Koine,
Egypt or Palestine. Besides there Is to bo
found on thoso western plains relics of an
extinct species of animals much larger than
umbo. Tho three-fourths of travelers In
America aro In pursuit of tho advantages
and resources of wealth, In which the
country abounds, nnd gtvo llttlo heed
whether tho souls of tho mythical gods ltvo
n the stars or are burled In tho earth with
tho body, nnd think that the man who can
scotn tho features of a monkey n scmblonco
of his original prcgnlturo must have a con
tracted Idea of deity In establishing his re
lationship. Tho people of Sallna do not
uso profano langung,-, neither nro they ad
dicted to strong drink. They believe in
Snllnn and In female suffrage. Thoy havo
n soil ot a most fertile quality, from two to
three feet deep, which appears to bo made
of different strata or deposits of different
periods. About two feet of tho surface Is
vegetable soli, Immediately underneath
for nearly two feet, a marl containing mag
nesia, under which, for nbout two feet, n
yellowish clay, apparently rich of soil, un
der which Is n dark or black vegetable loam,
then comet a plastic blue clay. Tho stone
used in building seems to be a red sand
stono and niagueslan lime stone. Tho lat
ter Is much used and gives a fine and dura
ble appearance. Brick nro also used,
which nro of a yellowish appearance, con
taining llttlo ot iron barltcs, but hard and
durable with smooth surface susccptlblo of
paint. Sallna lies sufficiently high for easy
drainage. Tho streets arc wide and cross
at right angles, and aro shaded principally
with cotton wood, maple and box elder In
great profusion. The houses are built of
brick, stone and wood, chiefly of Arkansas
pine, a very excellent quality, built in
Queen Anne stylo nnd modern plana of
architecture and finuli as can bo seen In
our Itirucr elites.
Educational advantages are not surpassed
In nny city of Its dimensions. The Mcth
odlst College, situated ut tho south terminal
of Santafee avenue, which avenue, being
the principal street of the city, Is ono bun
dred feet wide and two miles or more in
length. At tho north terminal is to be
erected nn Episcopal Training College,
Tho two Institutions nro to be connected by
a street railway, part of which is already
in operation. The Normal University, situ,
atcd at tho west end of Iron avenue, which
street crosses Santafee at right angles,
which crosstng is tho centre of business of
the city. The schools of Sallna nro of first
grade and altogether amount to nearly half
million in value of property. Tho
churches, a scoro in number, of various
denominations, arc built tastefully and con
venient. The Lutheran, in which I heard a
sermon of a Sunday, reflects credit upon
the liturgy. There aro many prominent
buildings two, three and four stories
built ot brick and stone. Among them are
the Masonic Temple, Odd Fellows' Hall,
Opera House, Court House and tho several
hotels. Tho National Hotel Is designed
when completed to competo or surpass In
elegance, to have an elevator, steam heat
ing and all the modern conveniences. The
present hotel system is not adequato to the
public demand, neither does thcro seem to
be tenement houses enough. In the whole
city I did not see one vacant building or
room. The several banking houses, both
natioual and private, having liberal capital,
aro in excellent repute and considered safe
for all business transactions. There are
three flouring mills, which have a dally ca-
pacity of fifteen thousand or moro barrels,
and there are many factories of various
kinds. The Smoky Hill River Is a narrow,
sluggish stream, very deep and sinuous,
making about live miles for a half tulle In
a straight line. Its banks aro high and
covered with abundant shade of walnut
cotton wood and maplo festooned with wild
grape vines, which are being trained
around the trees to form scats and lounges
and to continue growing, a most dcslrablo
resort on a high day. The land surrounded
by the curvatures of tho river affords dcslr
able sites for residences, parks and boule
vards, for which improvement is being
rapidly made. Tho whole couutry is not
one level plain, as many Eastern people
suppose, but is d'viucu into yaueys ui
many miles In extent, of the finest farming
land in tho world. Tho dividing ridges, as
seen from the cars, havo an out croplng of
magncslan llmo stone in layers ot a foot
