A TRIP UP THE HUDSON.
A yonng friend of ours, who bus
enjoyed a trip up the Hudson, writos
as as follows :
Pouohkeepsik, N. Y.
July 10th, 1873. J
Editor Republican!
- - Dear Sir i Having
a few moments to dopota to idlonoBg
I thought I would change the pro
gramme and devote thorn to useful
ness, by oommunioatiag a few words
to your valuable paper, only hoping
thai I may Interest its-readers for
awhilo. No doubt but what a great
many of your renders have been eye
witnesses to the samo I am about to
speak of, but ior those that have nev
er taken a trip up the Hudson, where
"Painted floweri, trcei opihooting hye,
Dale! for lhade, hilli for breathiug ipace,
River view and lake with imiling face,
Trembling grovel and oryital running bye,'
abound, I respectfully submit the fol
lowing:
To begin, tho Hudson has been
called the ISIiate-inuck, tho Mohegan,
tbe Mauritius, tho Manhattan, the
Noordt Montaigne, tho North Rivor
and tbe Rivor of Mountains. lis
presont name was given it by tbo En
glish, and not by the Dutch as goner-
ally stated. Henry Hudson was an
Englishman, although he sniled from
a Dutch port, with a Dutch crew and
a Dutch vessel. The river was first
discovered in 1C09. It is three hun
dred miles in longth and vnrics from
one-half mile to throo miles in widlh.
The town of Amsterdam, (Now York,)
at the mouth of tho river, was found
od soon after, which is now the em
pire city of America. Some great
sage of that period drcamod that tho
good St. Nicholas, or somo other good
man of like naturo, came riding over
tho treo top and doscended upon
Manhattan Island, und "sal him down
and smoked," and tbo smoke ascend
ed into the heavens and formed a
great cloud over the island. The sago,
seeing this, climbed to the top of one
of the bighost trees and looked around
bim. Ho observed that the smoke
spread over a vast Sold, and, as he
watched it move attentively, it as
sumed a variety of marvelous forms,
wboro, in dim obscurity, he beheld
palaces, and domes, and lofty spires,
all of which larted for a momont,
when tho curtain fell on tho great
panorama, 'ihat dream is tiow a
pleasant reality, for domes and pal
aces and lofty spires cover tho cnlire
island and a largo extent of country
around it. It is not necessary to say
more of Now York, for likoly most of
your rendors have seen it in its pres
ent greatness. Those that have not
have perused bolter descriptions of it
than my pon can portray.
Taking one of the great Hudson
Rivor streams, at tbo foot of 84tb
Street, we begin our voyago up tho
river, "where every breeze breathes
health, aand every sound is but tho
echo of tranquility." The first place
that attracts our attention, from the
great bustling city at our right, is tho
spot whore the duol took pluco bo
twoen Hamilton and Burr. This place
is also nolod for being the spot on
which the "Noble Rod Man" first in
dulged in "Local Option," and thoy
did not touch it lightly, either, and
thoy beenmo to enamored after tho
"fancy-stirring bowl" that for many
moons thereafter thoy searched the
Hudson and its tributaries for tho
fountain from which the "firo wator"
issuod. Every liltlo brook and lake
was visited, cvory trickling rivulet
was taetod, but tbe clear cold water
only laughed merrily in their dusky
faces, and sweetly kissed thoirparohed
lips as they sloopod to drink of lis
purity. It was ono of thoso searches,
so says tradition, that first brought to
light "The Springs," which are bow
oountenancod all over America. Well,
to roturn, we are now at a point whoro
we can see Washington Hoights; and
furlbor on tho birthplace of Mary.
Phillipsio, of whom Washington be
camo enamored. The old; manor is
yet standing. Further on, at a placo
callod Tnrrytown, roposos all that's
loft of Washington Irving. Hore, al
io, is tho ground on which Major An
dre was - csptnrcd. A tnouurnoni,
boaring the following inscription, is
erected on tho place :
"on mis Ivor
Tbe 3Sd day of September, 1 TOO, the Bpy
MAJOR JWIIN ANDRE,
Adjutant Oeneral of the Brltlib Arm, wai cap
tured by
Jonn PiniDiio, Dvvip Williams ana Ic
' Va. Waur.
Hillary hai told tha ml."
About throe inilos west from this
nlooo is whoro Andre was "launched
into etornity." Five milos furthor up
tbe rivor is sing Ding, wro ..u
nrisonod noarly 1600 "Law Trans
gressors," tho majority of whioh have
been seut up from Now York. Tho
stoamor jdoilghs ahoad, and brings us
toiitony Point, whore, at Zooiock.
one morning, Wayno ponnod tbo briefj
disnatch to Washington! "lho Amor
lean Flag wayui . horo." Pookskill
next presents itsolf, ovorshadowod
with Auvbpny ao"o, poml elevated
122S feet. Above this is ' Beverly
Dock, whore Arnold escaped to the
Vulture. . ;; '
Wind and lido are In our favor, and
in a comparatively short time we find
ourselves looking upon West Point,
the famous Military Sohool. Tbe
placo is olevatod from the rivor about
200 feet. One of the interesting fea
tures of this place is a niche in the
oliff, (I forget what it is callod) where
an indonture of a cannon-ball pan be
soon, which, no doubt, disturbed tbe
meditations of somo patriot.' Six hun
dred feet above the river ia a ' - -"Noble
wreck In rulnom perfection,"
once Fort Putnam. Highland Houso,
which caps a prominent peak of tho
mountains, and a great summer re
sort, Arnold House and sever.il othor
important places can be visited in Ibis
region by a week visitor. Horo Wash
ington, Putnam and other revolution
ary heroes struggled for tho good
cause. Surely thero is no place wbero
tho history of our country can be
studied with groator intorcut than
among these wilds where freedom
found protection. Further north is
Underdid. Here the' mountains are
vory high and the river narrow and
doep. One of tho best views on the
Hudson can bo obtained horo. At
midnight in the summer a louo star
can bo seen above tbe mountains, and
in tho midst of tho gloom, and the
toiling of machinery, and the heav
ing of the waters, as they dash against
tbe rugged shoros, wo will fool the
force of the beautiful lines,
"Old Cro-neat like a monarch itandi,
Crowned with a .ingle iter."
Nowburg is the next point of inter
est. Not many miles from this placo
is "Idlewild," once the homo of N. P.
Willis. To tho south of lho city is
tho "Old Stono House," Washington's
headquarters. Here can bo soon many
relics of revolutionary times. Old
Hessian boots, novor ' intended for
flight, making oilhor victory or cap
ture inevitable; old swords that have
a history written in blood j trappings
of soldiers that havo lost tho gliltor
and tinsel, "the prido, the pomp and
ciroumstancos of glorious war," and a
piano, of most harmonious discord.
The next place of importance is
Pouchkeepoio, tbo Quoen City of the
Hudson, tho largest and most flour
ishing between New York and Albany.
The Hudson Valley is one vast Park,
and 1'oughkoepsie is one of its cool
and shady spots. Tbo namo is of In
dian origin, and signifios Safe Harbor.
Tho oity is about midway botwecn
the capital of the Stato and tho me
tropolis of tho continent, and is also
midway betweon the Highlands and
Calskills, commanding a viow of lho
mountain portals on tho south and
tbo mountain ovorlook on the north
the Gibraltar of revolutionary fumo,
and the dream-land of Kip Van Win
kle. The oily has a population of
about 22,000 and is growing. Ono of
the chief attractions of tho pluco is
Eastman place, tho Central Park of
Poughkoopsio. The Soldiers Memo
rial Fountain is one of tho finest in
the world. This plnce might also bo
tormod tho City of Schools, for it is
quilo a task to cnumorato tho institu
tions of training. Tho two principal
ones, however, nro Eastman Commer
cial Collcgo nnd Yaasnr College, a
school for females.
Poughkeepsio is in Duohcss county.
Ono of our groat locturora onco statod
to his audience, that, "judging from
lho inscriptions on tqmbptonos, thero
novor was a wicked person who died,"
conveying the idea that tho inscrip
tions wero only put on to read well.
But," says he, "thero is ono in Dch-
oss county, Now York, thnt has on
gravod on its fuco true sentiment.
The wifo of an honost old Dutchman
diod, and the heart broken (f) hus
band wished to inscribe on lho stone
"Lot bor rest in poace," but finding
he hud not enough ol spaco to put tho
ctiro sontonce on, ho abbreviated it,
aflor which it road "Lot hor R. LP."
This gravestone, containing tho samo
cpilnjibj is ;iear Poughkoopsio, so 1
nave boon instructed.
Suffice this to do at present, for no
doubt but I have now occupied too
much spaco In your paper. 1 have
now givon you a sketch of about CO
miles of sconery unequalod in tho
world, when we oonsidcr the points of

' Arabian Horsos.
No Arab dreams of tying up a horse
by tbe nook; a tether replaces the
halter, and ono of the animal's hind
legs is enoirclod about tho pastern by
a light iron ring, furnished with a pad
lock, and oonneutod with an iron chain
two foot or tberoabouls in longih,
ending in a ropo, whioh is fastoned to
the ground at some distance by an
iron - pog ; such is the' customary
method. But should the animal be
restless and troublesome, a foreleg is
put under similar troatment It is
woll known that horsos in Arabia are
much Jess frequently vicions or re
fract: than in Kurope, and this ia
the reason why geldings are here so
raro, though not unknown. No par
ticular prejudice thut I could discover
exists against tho oporalion itself,
only it is seldom porformod, because
not otherwise necessary, and lending,
of course, to diminish the vulup of the
animal.
But to roturn to the horses now be
foro us. Never before bad I soon or
imagined so lovely a collection. Their
staluro was indeed somewhat low, I
do not think that any came fully up
to fiftoon bands fourteon appeared
to bo about their averngo bill ibey
wore so exquisitely woll shapod that
want of grealor size seems hardly, il
at all, a defect.
Remarkably full tn lho haunches,
with a shoulder of a slono so olerrant
as to make ono, in tho words of an
Arabian poet, "go raving mad about
it," a liltlo a vory little saddle
backed, just lho curve which indicates
springiness; a head broad above and
tapering down to a nose fine enough
to verily the phrase of "drinking from
a pint pot," did pint pots exist in
Nedjoe; a most intelligent and yet
singularly gontlo look, full eye, a
sharp, thorn-liko car, logs fore and
bind that soem as if mado ol hammered
iron, so clean, and yet so woll twinted
with sinew; a neat, round hoof, just
the requitilo for hard ground; the tail
sot off, or rather thrown out at a per
fect arch ; coat smooth, shining and
light; the mane long, but not over
grown nor boavy ; and nir and steps
thul tcomod to say, "Look at me ; am
I not pretty?" their appearaneo justi
fied! roputulion,ull vuluo.all poetry.
Tho prevailing color was choslnut or
gray; a light oa', an iron color, whito
or black, wore loss common) full bay,
floa-bitton or pio-baid, none. But if
asked what aro, after all, thospociully
distinctive points of a Nedjoe horse, I
should reply, the slopo of tho shoul
dors, the extreme cleanliness of the
shank, and tbo full rounded haunch
tbongk every other part, too, has a
perfection and a harmony unwilnessod
at least by my eyes, anywhoro ojse.
Nodjee horsos aro especially osteemcd
for great speed and enduranco of
fatigue indued, in this latter quality
none come up to them.
To pass twenty-four hours on the
road without drinking and without
flagging is certainly somolbing ; but
to keep up the samo abstinonco and
labor conjoined under the burning
Arabian skv for forty-eight hours at u
strotch, is I beliove, peculiar, to the
animals of the brocd. Besides they
buve a dolicacy, I cannot say of mouth
for it is common to rido them without
bit or bridlo, but of feeling nnd obedi
ence to the knee and thigh, to tho slight
est chock of tho halter and llio voico
of lho rider, far surpassing the mosl
elaborate manege givon a European
horse, though lurnishcd with snuffle,
curb, and all. I often mounted thorn
at the invitation of their ownors, and
without saddle, rein, or stirrup, set
tlicin off at a full gallop, wheeled them
around, brought them up in mad career
at a dead halt, and that without tho
least dilliculty, or the smnllost want
of correspondence belwcon lho horse's
movomont and my own will ; tho
rider on their back really feels hira

sont Soung Hopoful ou', to draw lho
baby for an airing. Young Hopeful
thought ho wouldanve lubor by sad
dling that duly off upon his nohlo
mastiff. He thereupon improved a
harness out of tho. clothos-lino and
hitched the noblo mastiff to the car
riage. Just then the noble mastilTs
favorito canino playmuto Irolickod
along lho road, and quilo oblivious to
tho new duty he was obliged to per
form, tho noblo mastiff sprang to his
more agroeablo companionship. And
then theso two animals started for a
run, and that buby accompanied thorn.
A howl from tho siartlod llopoful
brought the parents to tho supno, and
then onsuod a chaso for these dogs
and that baby thut beggars descrip
tion. Up this strool, down that,
through this blind alley, across thnt
broad avenuo. The dogs gathered
fright as tho pursuors gathered num
bers, end the buby gaihorod lungs,
until a friendly slump roliovcd tho
carriage of its load, and lho procions
infant, in its luyoly whito embroid
ered clothos, was picked up out of the
mud, a good deol more frightened,
happily, than hurt. But the boy f
Woll, his Sunday school teacher found
tho boy a model of doportmont on
that duy. He considered it ungontlo
manly to sit.

, A Dog Story,
' Wednesday last was "a cood dav
for the race tho canino race is re
ferred to as tho following true talo
of a Minnesota dog, rclutod by a reli
able oyu-witness, shall provo. On that
day, ns ono of the trains on the Lako
Superior and Mississippi Knilroad
stopped at Cenlrevillo, a few miles
boyonu White iioar J.akc, a ludy took
a scat in ono of tho nassomror coaches
and lho train started. Whon it slop-
peu bl unite jicur station a uog ol
medium size, nnd with rather a shag
gy coat, camo alongside npon the
piullorm, and was noticed to be pant
ing heavily. Again, a few miles fur.
iner on, a hall was made to take wa
ter, and conductor Bond callod the at
tention of some of tho nassenrrora to
the fact that the dog had followed
ttiom lroio White Hoar Lake, as he
supposed. Tho train was going off
and shortly doggy was seen close bo-
bind, rassongors bocame interested
and crowded to tho roar of lho car to
watch the race. Occasionally at loino
pool beside tho track, doiriy would
dash down, tako a few drops of tho
cooling fluid, varying this sometimes
with a balh, and then wilh a sharp
yolp or two, as if in pain at the idea
of boing held behind, dash on.
In this way an oven race was main
tained until a down grade wasroached,
wbon the train made a long dush lo
train impetus for a rising trade be
yond. Doggy now fell behind ; he
tried bard but it was too much for
him: his littlo body was, however.
just full of pluck and porsoveranco,
ana lo mo auiigbi ot lho passongors
wuoho sympainy wus luiiy aroused
for tho canino horo, when tho up
grade was reach od,doggy made good
his loss and caugbt up with lho train.
Conductor Bond said thut bo would
stop and take up the weary runner,
now snowing signs ol oxUauslion, but
thero wus no one lo tako care of bim
or to deliver bim to at tho journey's
end. By this tinio a ludy passongor
nom lotiircviiio Docnme interested to
know what it was that excited tho
passengers, and as she saw lho little
racer, she immcdiutoly recognized bim
as the pet of lho friends wilh whom
she had been visiting at Cenlrevillo.
no had toiiowed bor to tho depot and
gallantly attended her on foot on her
journey until within about four miles
ot hi. 1'uul. Conductor Bond soized
tho bell ropo, the train was quickly
stopped, and doggy was takon on
board, whore bo wus givon first-class
quarters and a freo rido, which lie had
amply earned by fuirly running a
fourteen mile race with a passongor
train making its usual tinio. It is
noedloss to add tliu', doggy was as do
liuhled as bis wonry littlo body would
allow to regain sight of the friend ha
lind lollowod, and Ihat ho was the he
ro of the hour wilh all on board the
train.
Customs of the Roman Stage.
Tho customs of tho Roman stnero
in Cicero's time have been likenod of
Into, and not inaptly, lo thoso of tho
French theatre at the present day.
lho general public of Cicero s time
was swayod by an extraordinary pas
sion for what wo might now cull tho
Oallel, a lorm ol entertainment adapt
ed by ils licentious pranks and jrats
to tho vory lowest strata of the Ro
man population, from which indeed
many of its peculiarities wore takon.
The classio tragody and comedy still
existed, it is true, but was liltlo to the
lasto of tbo masses violated as that
tasto was by triumphal processions
and gladiatorial combats, unless ren
dered allraclivo by gorgeous scenery
and dresses, and magnificent decora
tions. A Ins is evident ennugb from
Cicero's lotlor to bis friend Marius in
which bo alludes to tbe pluy of Pom
poius, and nmong other things men
tions that his pleusure in it was en
tirely destroyed by the fact that il
was so overloaded with scenic splen
dor. "Ho loss than six hundred
uulcs," he says, "appeared upon tho
stngo in 'Cly tomnoslru,' nnd both cav
alry and infantry in the'Trojui) liow,'
wilh tho greatest variety of weapons.
Tho public fuirly revelled in wonder
ment. J lus passion lor shows was
even more insaliublo Inter, when Ho
race lamented tho dogonorato lasto of
lho public. In Roscius' timo culti
vated pooplo took an interest in lho
pluys of Pluutua and Terrcnce In-
docd, most of them know tho dramas
by heart. Ihey did not go to tho
theatre, therefore, to witness tho de
velopment of the plot, but sought
thoir pleasure purely in a fino artiniio
rendering of the dilferont parts. Cic
oro's letters show not only how great
was his own enthusiasm for lho per
formance of great actors, but ulso lho
lively interest bis correspondents felt
in the Roman theatre. Crosnr gavo

ootisnmnto excellence had cultivated
tho Roman cur to such a pilch of del
icacy nnd precision, that, like tho
Athenians, ihoy would dotoct tho
slightest fault in enunciation and
rhythm. Cicero says in his "Para
doxes:" "II an actor lose tho measure
of a passngo in the slightest, or make
tho line ho uttors a ayllahlo loo short,
or too long by bis declamation, ho is
inslantly hissed off. tho stngo." Mis

"Sir!" said a tall, thin man, clad In

somo such impressive way as thut.
"A gas-ournor, sir." 1 was busy ar
ranging some pnpers in a corner, and
having both hands full, with a pon
held crosswftys in my mouth, I wus
for a momont quite at his mercy.
"Perhaps, sir, you are aware thnt in
the case or every kind ol burnor but
this I now show you, gas givos off a
most noxious effluvium, having a peon
iiraly ruinous effect upon lho eve-
sight." By this timo I hud emptied
my hands and mouth, and was ad
vancing upon him. Fixing his eyes
upon mino, ho started back in distress
ful horror. "Uouven bolp us, sir," be
exclaimed, "How you havo sufferod

"Slop 1 1 cullod. "lloplace every

Thinking ho miuhl be deaf. I bawl
ed,"! don't want your burnor; I won't
havo It; tako it oil." lor he was
lightly twirling tho new one in ils

"Thoro, sir, you will feel thankful to
mo as long asyou li vel The only thing
that troubles mo in tho matter is, I
know I am ruining lho spectacle ma
kors." "Do you hear f I asked. "I shall
not pay you for it."
Ho struck a very effective attilude.
"Puyrocnt! of what consequence is
that I I could not remove that in
estimable burnor for any amount of
money, when tho alternative is the
ruin of your valuable eyesight. For,
sir, your eyes aro worth many burners.
I muko you a presont of it willingly.
I am a poor man, under heavy travel
ing expenses, and I have a family in
want." Ho sighed. "But duty shall
bo dona. Tho price is throcponce-hulf-ponny,
or threo shillings a dozen.
I know you will regret this momen
tary harshness in long years to como
whon yon are enjoying lho benefits of
that burner. But that is not my af
fair, though I am sorry lo think of it.
Good morning, sir. If at any timo,
ao matter how long an interval, by
some inconceivable accident anything
should becomo out of order in it, you
will find lho name of the manufactur
ers stamped ou tho side Bo good
enough lo drop a line to their well
known houso at Glussgow, and a man
will instantly bo sent lo attond to it."
I was boatsn. This offer to send a
man from Scotland into tho honrt of
England, after the Inpso of years, to
put a gratuitously bestowed threo
poneo-half-pcnny gas burner to rights
was too much for mo. I had to make a
purchase. Chambers' Journal.
An Old Story Contradicted Again.
I am no admirer of Jeff. Davis. I
am a Vankoe, born belwcon Saccar
appa nnd Gorham Corner, am full of
lunkoo prejudicos, but think it wicked
to lio even about him, or, for that mat
tor, about tho devil.
1 was with tbo party thai captured
Jeff. Davis; saw the whole transac
tion from us beginning. I now say
and hopo you will publish il thai
Jo If. Davis did not havo on, at tho
time ho was taken, any garment such
as is worn by women. Ho did havo
ovor his shouldors a water-proof arli
clo of clothing something liko a
"llavclock." It was not in lho lenst
concealed. Ho woro a hat, nnd did
nol carry a pail, bucket or kottlo in
any way.
To tho bosl ot my recollection, ho
carried nothing whatever in bis hands.
His wilo did nut tell any person that
hor husband might hurl somebody if
ho got cxasporatod. Sho behaved liko
a lady, and be as a gentleman, though
n.aiulostly ho was chngrinod at being
takon into custody. Our soldiers be
havod liko goiitlomon, as they wore,
und our officers liko honorablo nnd
bravo men ; and the foolish alorios
that wont tho nowspapor rounds of
tho day, telling how woltisniy no ae
porlod himsolf, woro all fulso. 1 know
what I am writing ubout. I saw Jef
ferson Davis many times while .ho
staved in Portland, sovcral years airo;
and I think I wns tho first ono who
rocognized him at tho Ijmo of bis ar
rost. When it was' known that ho was
certainly lakon, somo nowspapor cor
respondent 1 know his name at tho
timo fabricated the story about the
disiniiso in an old woman s dress. I
hoard tho whole matter talked over
as a O'ood joke, and lho ofllcors, who
knew bettor, nover took tho trouble
to deny it. Perhaps they thought tbo
confederate president deserved all lho
contempt thai could bo put upon bim.
I thitik so, too, only 1 would nover
porpotralo lulsohood thai, by any
means, would bocomo history. Ami

Anxiety About Children.
Parents, whose prudent care fop'
their children we would not diminish,
may intermit much of tho soliciludo
with which they are apt necessarily
to worry themselves. This gratui
tous anxiety often, moreover, defeats
its own object. It rendors tho child,
by constantly reminding it of the risks
to safety, unnaturally timid, and pre
vents that calmness of mind and de.
volopment of animal courago essential
for the prudont avoidance of and bold
resistance to danger. Tho ovor watched1
children are notoriously those who are,''
tho most constantly exposing their
health und livos to hazard. Thov are
so accustomed to movo at the wiil of
another thnt their own violation loses
its powor to a great extent, and bo-
comes hesitating and uncortuin. Thoir
muscles, accordingly, act with little
precision, and render tho stop falter
ing and lho bold insecuro. The child
who is loft free to run,climbandjump,
though he may apparently expose
himself to a thousand risks, generally
escapes danger by his habitual readi
ness of expedient and practical pre
cision of movement. Tho frcerchild- .
ron havo, moreover, tho advantage of
protecting themselves by various
means of socurity denied to those,
kopt under leo close a supervision.
Swimming, riding, running, leaping,
using firearms not to speak of wrest
ling and fighting all of which may
in thoir turn become important moang
of safely, are tho ordinary acquisi
tions of the emancipated boy, butsol
dom of him who is subjected to an
unceasing parental control. It is ob
vious, too, that the greator freedom of
the ono is more favorublo to health
than tho constraint of tho othor. It
isoqually advantageous lo the moral as
lo tho physical health and develop
ment that lho paront should not al
low his anxiety about bis children to
becomo too apparent, or to interfere
too much with their frocdom of con

elcmonls of all human excellence are
to bo acquired only by lonrning early
to act from voluntary molivo. If the.'
