In Foreign Lands.
From our onn Correspondent.
Geneva, Sept. 4, 189L
The rlty of Milan bears tho impress ol
the nineteenth century more than any other
spot in Italy except perhaps Turin; mid
yet It is ono of the oldest cities of this his
toric land. It was founded COO years before
Cbrist,but has been repeatedly destroyed
by the conquering armies which bavo to
ofcen swept ever this part of Italy. Us
manufacturing Interests are very largo and
Its population efS2i),C00ls second only to
that of Naples. For ladies in particular's
history should be especially interesting, as
early in tho 16th century it established and
controlled tho fashions ef Europe, a fact
which we have preserved iu tho derivation
of our modern word, milliner. The broad
plain of Loinbardy in which Milan Is situ
ated has been in modern times the arona
where French, Auitrtans and Italians have
olten fought. Tho battle fields of Marengo
end Loill, famous in the history of the
grest Napoleon, bs well as Magenta, th
glory of the last of the Bonsparies, are all
near the city.
01 the many churches ol Italy, tho calho
dral of Milan ranks next to St. Peter's at
Rome in jwlntof msgnlflccnco and interest,
with tho added mlvantngo ol being Gothio
In its architecture. It was commenced
nearly 600 yeors ago and is not yet com
pleted. The facstle, although marred by
trio severely classical doors, is one of the
fined iu Europe. The entire slructuro cov
ers about two and one half acres of ground,
it being neorly 500 feet in length and about
200 feet wldo Tbo vaulting of the nave
rhes 155 feet abovo tho marble mosaic of
the pavement, anil is supported by massive
pillars from eight to twelve feet in diame
ler.surmounled by statues In niches Instead
of capitals. But it is in the wonderful
leeoratlons ol its exterior rolher than in
the beauty of Its interior I hut tho principal
interest of the Cathedral lies. Its rool is
composed of blocks of marble and from It
rises a perfect labyrinth of turrets and pirn
nai'ics, with thousands of statues and clah
orale ornaments of eyory kind. From tho
platlorm of the spiro which surmounts tho
tome the view is tho finest in northern
Italy. Tho Alps rising for away on tho
north, with Mont Blanc, and Monta Iloea
slandins out In bold relief, ciicle around to
the east and west and form almost a semi
circle; while to tho south, beyond the ler
tile plains, tho Apennines, those "mighty
mountains, dim and gray," fill nearly halt
ol the remaining horizon.
Neor the cathedral is the Gallery of Vie
tor Emanuel, a beautiful nlas covered ar-
ade erected nt a cost ol over$l,500,000 and
occupied iith shops. The La Scala theatre,
one of tho largest In tho world, is also iu
his central part of the city lis Immense
6tgo, 150 feet deep and over 100 leet wide
is ulono as large ss many theatres, while
its vast auditorium, with its s -ven tiers ol
boxes rising up to tho roof gives occom
modatlou to many thousauds of ploasure
seekers.
The Ballon Lakes, Magglore, Conioand
Lugano, lie nearly north ol Milan and onlv
about thirty miles distant. As our time
wos 6oinewhot limited wo did not make sn
extended stay in this beautiful region, but
eonlcnled ourself with a view of Maggiore,
which wo reached at Laycno by rail Irorn
Milan, and passed thence by steamer to Iu
tra. This lake possesses some yery lovely
scenery, but Is not in be compared to Lake
Lucerno in Switzerland, and is also pro
nouneed interior to Lake Coino bv those
wh.i have seen thu latter. It is about -15
miles in length and lias an overage width
of three miles. Thu shore is studded with
lirly Italian villages, iu which as 6ome
writer has sold, "the chorm of many on
exquisite bit of Italian village seenerv is
lispclledassnon osyou get within smelling
distance of it." The famous Barromean
Isles are on the southeast side of the lake
near Follanza, ami are noted for their pic
liiresquo beauty ns well as for their having
been tho residence ol Cardinal Charles Bor
romeo.
At Inlra wo took "diligence," for a ride
f about seycnly milej over the great Simp
ion routo acrrss Iho Alps from Italy to
Gwitierluud. The diligence is a singular
tJ loofinounlaiii reach. Besides thedriv-
r's seat it is divided into three parts: tho
interior, which corresponds to the inside ol
an ordinary ttago cuach, the coupe, under
tho driver's seat with class front aud sides.
nd tho banquette, a real perched high up
iu the rear with a carriage top to protect it
Irom the wiuther. They are run by the
goyi rnmcnt and a suilicieut amount ol fues
nd leathers end rod tupo is connected with
their management to stall an army; but
Kncay Mountain stage driver who hod
becu dead ten years, would routo himseli
uhisgravo ami bold his ribs together to
augh at some of tho impracticable and nt-
most impossible methods used in running
hem. Fairly good horses ore supplied.but
the time is very slow, it nnuiring over
hirteeu hours to accomplish the distance
rem Intra to Urieg.
Tho Simplon road was constructed by
the first NnMIeou curly in tho present cen
tury ami Is but one of the many evidences
found throughout western Kunpo of the
genius of that mighty conqueror. It was
his intention to lna terminated tho route
at Milan, and to that end ho rnmmenred
Iheereotlon of a grand triumphal arch in
that city; but this plan wos never carried
out and the arch was not completed until
1833. The road is broad uml well made,
ond in many plsces as it winds up Urn
mountain, tunnels and galleries liaye been
cut iu the mini rock In protect the travelers
Irom avalanches ond glacier streams. The
summit ol the pass is liVJl leet above tbe
sea and Irom this point -Ibn descent to
Urieg, which is only 15 miles distant, is
very rapid. At many jxmila on the road
as we whirl down Die mouutoiu side, fine
views of the valley can bo obtuiued ami
the little villago of Brleg seemi almost
near enough so that we could pitch a stone
into its streets; but II is late at night bo
fore wo reach our hotel and we weto not
unwilling to accept the real and shelter It
furnished.
From Brleg we take the railway the next
morning for Mortlgny, about 50 miles dis
tant and after a lew hours stay ot Ilia loiter
piece we secure a earrioje fur tho trip over
the Tele Noir pass to Chomduni. Marllg
ny is at the Intersection of three of the
great Alpine passes with the valley of the
Rhone. The Simplon, over which wo have
Just traveled, the Great St. Bernard to Tur
iu ond IheTeleNoir which we now ascend
all terminate here. For sevtral hours we
iifug along up the side ol the mountain,
euioylng lo (lie utmost the yorled ylew. ol
valleys olid lufly peaks which oro presented
to us, until wo reach tbe summit, 0,600
feet above sea level. A lew houre mole
brings us down the range to the mountain
guarded valley of Chomounl, through
whish flows tbo milky Arve, fed by the
great glacieii which flank Iho spurs of the
range.
Tbe little village cf Cbamounl, comrvstd
almost entirely of hr.tels, Is located ot the
very foot of Mt. Blanc, which is not in
Owlticrland at is usually supposed bul a
lew miles oyer the border, In France. It
was Iste in the evening when we arrived
hero but the next morning dawned bright
and clear ami the views of the mountain
ranges on either side of the valley were
most Inspiring. The lolly summit of Mt.
Blono presented a temptation which we re
sisted fern time, but all in vain; long be
fore noon we yielded to its atlractioos, and
disregarding tho counsel of old rcsidentert
who advised us to go Into training befoie
attempting er; difficult ami dangerous a feat
wo secured tho services ol two bordy young
mountaineers as guides, procured the ueces
sary outfit, consisting of n stout steel shod
alpenstock, warm leggings, mlllens, etc.,
and like tho young man who "bore a ban
ner with thot strange deylee, Excelsior."
we started for tho top.
The first ascent of Mont Blanc was made
la 1780 by Balmat and Be Saussurc, and
since that time ascents have been occasion
ally mado, attended, not unfrequcntly with
accident and loss of life. At times even
in the summer, heavy suow storms on the
summit, or dense fogs which envelope tbe
mountain lor weoks lender the ascent
absolutely lmpnslblc, and under the most
lavorable circumstances thero is enough of
oifficulty ond danger to glye spice and ex
citement to the trip.
We left Chomonnl shortly before noon
and a brisk walk ol half on hour brought
us to the hose or the mountain at a point
alongside tho great glacior "des Dissons,"
a frozen flood Irom a half a mile to two
miles in width, and of unknown depth,
which, fed from the snows ol the summit
valleys ol tho range, pours down on Itn
in en st gorge in the nountaln side with on
onward motion of abrut one foot a day.
For nearly two hours wo zigzag up the side
of tho mountain, crossing occasionally the
track of recent avalanches which have
swept down great trees like ferns from their
path, until we roach tho cabin of'l'ierre
1'olutue," the first station of theasceutand
an elevation ol over 0,001) feet. Hero wo
stop lor lunch, and to enjoy tho fine view
of tho valley of Chamouni aud tho moun
tains beyond wb ch is here obtaiued.
Shortly alter leaving I'lerre l'olntuc, we
reach the "snow liue," und go out upon
tho treacherous surface of the glacier. For
greater protection against a possible slip or
fall, a rope ol perhaps 10 feet in leunto is
now brought into requisition und tho mem
bers of the party are attached to each other,
and our guide cn chef uhead, ourself in the
middle and our s coud guide or porter be
hind wo go on, avoiding as best we can the
threatening uy.dauchrs which overhang
from the dill's ubuvc, as well as the deep
crevasses which open far down into tho
glacier in every direction. Suie of (he
creyasscs while extendlug downward into
the glncitr for fifty or seventy fivo feeturo
so narrow that one can leap acrus the top
while others ale so wide that ladders are
brought into use, upon which wn cross on
hands ond kuees over Iheyuwulng abyss
Chliers ure covered or partially covered
with suow, and great care is needed lest it
give way beueath our feet and precipitate
us into the depths below. All oro passed
in safety however and about two und oue
hall hours alter leaving I'ierre Boiutuo wo
reaen tho en-oud station, tho littlo cabin ol
Grand Mulets," over 10,000 leet ubovu tidu
water. It is built on a rock that rises In
the centro of the glacier and around which
the broken stream of suow und ice presse8
lis way. This point Is frequently visited
by parties who do nut propose to go farther;
while many who sturt fur tho summit uev
er pas3 this cabin. Refreshments oro hero
supplied ot prices which would astonish
even the swell restaurants of I'uns or New
York. It is far oboyo the timber line and
everything used here must bo brought over
the glacier ou Ihe backs of men. Even the
wood Used for cooking is estimated locust a
half a franc, or about ten cents iu our muu
ey per pound.
Hero wo passed the night,or rather a por
tion of it, as at midnight we were u wakened
by the voice of our guide culling us to
breaklost; and at 1:00 a. m. guides aud
tourist were oeain lashed together and
wen I out into the night, hoping to reach the
lop before the heal of the sun should iGfleu
the 6UOW. The mn had just appeared
abovo the horizon and its cold rays lighting
up the vast snow fields around us, with tho
silvered summit lar above, and tho dark
valley far below, gave a ghastly beauty
and splendor to the iscene which words can
not describe. Tho silence was unbroken,
save by tho harsh crunch of tho frozen
snow under our leet as we strode onward,
or the dull thunder ol some mighty aval
anehe hurling itsell from the dizzy InghU
of Iho Klocier iuto tho depths beluw. We
made our way onward und upwurd os best
might, now making long detours to avoid
open crevasses, now working aluug sleep
slopes whose icy surface uecessiluted the
cutting of steps in onier toobtuni afoot
hold, until at about 2,000 feet above the
Grand Mulcts an obstruction was found
which seemed to efiVctually bar all further
progress. A broad, deep crevusso had
opened across our route and examination
failed tn reveal any way ol gelling around
il. At length a spot was I'ouud where un
overhanging veull of ic und snow hung
far out over the opposite side ol the creyasse
but rose high above our heads, aud atone
point a narrow neck of frozen snuw jutted
out nearly lo this wall. Here our guide
stopped and in u few moments hud with
hlsuxe cutout in Ihe null us high us he
cmld reueh a space large enough to hold
his body. Then calling up Ihe porter, with
the iujunrlh u lo us to"atuml very strong,"
he went up over Ihe Jxnter's back Iuto the
opening he had made and from theuce rut
steps in Ihe ice end fiuully reached the top.
We then lollowrd in the same manner and
by uur uulted strength drew up tho irler
and again pressed onward. At about -1:00
o'clock we reached the Grand I'lateau aud
witnessed a most glorious suurise. The
stars had bceu fading oue by one and tho
light growing struuger, until at last Ihe
"Lord of Day" appeared above Ibe eastern
horizon and tho mountains were lit up
with his effulgent rays.
From tbo Gronn Plateau for tome dis
tance the ascent was up steep slopes which
required only atiercs and rudurunco to
surmount; but farther on we reached the
"Bosses du Dremadaire," or Humps of the
Dromedary, a series of steep, sharp ridges,
along thu edge of wbicn we could ouly
m.ika our way by cutting steps in the ice
aud Irozen suow, while ou either side tho
smooth surfui'o descend'! at an angle of
perhaps seventy decrees lo unknown preci
pices below, miking tbe asut uolouly
slow and toilsome, bul exceedingly danger
ous. But at last all diliieullies were sur-
mounted aud at 8.00 o'clock, exactly seven
hours slier leaving the Grand Mulels, we
tlood proudly on tho summit. Munt

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
Visits tho Lehigh Valley.
Special tc the CAimoji Advocate.
Wasiiinoion, Sept, 13, 1881.
From Watkins Glen, described in my
letter of last week, your correspondent
took tho famous Lehigh Valley route to
New York, and It U certainly one of tho
most picturesque and attrnotive railway
Journe.18 to bo enjoyed In this country,
aooti alter leaving Elmirn tbe btautilul
Susquehanna River Is reached, and for
considerable distance the route is along
Its banks, through ns lino n country a
sun shines upon. But it is after pasMi ;
I. i. ttriti . .....
l iii&iuu mm iiKesuurre. ami climbing
the mountain btoud, that tho real exci -
lug interest of the route commences. Tho
view of the Wyoming Vulley from ths
summit of Wilkestmrre mountain Is
equalled by few landscapes to be oeen
anywhere. Near Ibis point n new hum
mer hotel has been erected, making n
very attractive resort for families from
New York and Philadelphia as well us
from tho towns nearer by. It is called
tho Glen Summit House, aud bus nc
enmmodations tor about five hundred
guests
From this point we go down the other
side of the mountain into tbo Lehigh
Valley, mnro truly pictureMiue than auy
other I kuow of aud more uearly resem
bling a ride through tbe cnuous of tho
Uocsy Mountains. Before reaching tbe
Now Jeisey lino tbe route passes tbrongh
the thriving towns of Muuch Chunk,
Bethlehem, Baston, Phillipsburg, Alleu
town and others. To seo Mauoh Chuul:
und tho fauiom switchback railroad was
one of the inducements to me to take
this tiip, nnd my eager curiosity was in
no wise disappointed. Muucli Chunk is
a prosperous town of about 8,000 inhab
itants, and is probably as much visited
dutinc tho summer season us any other
resort, Niagara Falls nnd Watkins Glen
not excepted. Il is most peculiarly sit
uated, nnd appears to have slid down
from some place aboyo until it couldn't
slide any further aud then stopped to
take n rest on tbo right bank of the Le
high River. Tho pljce is termed tbe
"Silzerlaud of America" not without
good reason. Appletou's "I'icturesqya
America" says Mauch Chunlt is doubt
less the most truly pictureeque towu iu
tho Union, but I think It is about n tie
bstweeu it and Central City, Colondo,
t'lungh tbo surroundings of tbe latter
present n more barren aspect.
Tho creat attraction at Mauch Chunk
u tin- wonilerlul swltchb ick railroad. It
is doubtful if snob nu exciting ride can
bo enjoyed anywhere else iu the world.
The cars used are tbe ordinary open ob
servation cars, and the motive power is
for tbe mo3t part Gravity. At the dart
when the word "go ndead" is given tbo
brakes are let off and the car runs a few
hundred yards down grade to the foot of
Mount 1'isgah. Here the cable Is at
tached and tho car with Its load of tin
rain freight is pulled quickly up nu lu
cliucit plaue at nu angle of about forty
five degreei. Were tho machinery to
break, one fuels that his life would hard
ly be worth looking alter, aud iu this
way the ride is mighty "exhileratiiig."
liut great S3 thd riaoger of this part of
It at first apptars.it is nothing compared
to tbe greater ilanger of the ride which
follows down a steep grade nnd around
sharp curves over n rough track and at a
speed which makes one's hair s tand on
end. There is no engine and no power
of any kind attaobed nothing hat the
brakes, aud these were, apparently, not
made to use, for tbo car is allowed to
ran n id, increasing its yelocity every
rod. Alter a run of eight miles. In
which tbe breath bus beeu taken from
every passenger on board, there is an
other ascent of an inclined plane to tbe
snmmit of Mount Jeifersou by means of
the stationary engine and cable, as be
fore. Then after a lislt of twenty-five
minutes at Ibe "Summit Hill" station,
tbo return is made dawn around tbe side
of tbe mouutaiu Dine miles lo tbe place
of sturtiug. After oue has passed safely
over this road-he can better enjoy its ex
citement in retrospect, but while in
Irausit the excitement is almost too In
tense) for most people. And after all it
is a question whether it is not flying in
tbe face of danger to pay one dollar for
such a ride.
Two or three hundred yards from
Summit Hill station in what is kuown us
the Burning mine, nud a dozen or more
small boys hang around the station to
offer themselves ns guides. Tula burn
ing mije is recently exciting consider
able alarm iu Summit Hill. It is (ear
ed tbe town is doomed, Tho coal beds
covering an area of many acres are on

Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
Spools! to the UaasoM Advocatm.
Saiutoua Hrmsix, N. Y, Sept. 13, 1861
Although many flail itpleawut Iu vis
Saratoga iu September, aud never com
b.io until that time, Ihe last week I
August Iu effect closes its snaou. There
have beeu many departures every day
tbis week, iil.o, and ou Monday ISO
weut from oue bote! alone. Oj necouut
of tbis being tbe last week, until next
summer, that a crowd will be here, Ibe
umtisemeiils have teen eyou more until
oruus than earlier iu tho month.
The bops bavo been many, bnt lie
gardeu party nt Ihe (Jrnnd Union Hotel
has of course bceu tbe chief social went
of tbe week. Preparations lor this begun
last Saturday, when the dancing floor, as
large bS that of many n good azm ball
room, wus laid near tbo center of tbe
lawn, and tbo platform (a little elevated
above it) for tho musicians placed ho
stile II.
The Invitations to tbo garden parly,
which wero orn different eloslgn from
any heretofore used fur these events nt
tbo same hotel, and very flu ly engraved
UMned tbe hours, which have beeu the
same for all given iu tho Grand Union
garden since the first of these al fresco
fetes occurred.
Tbe children were invited from 4 lo 7,
and the dauciug floor was reserved fur
t em during those hours In the nflernoou.
white tho grown folks were asked Irom 0
to midnight. Tho decorations, us here
tolore, consisted ol flags among tbe state
ly elm trees aud thousands of Chlueio
kilters of different sizes, sbapts and col
ors, hung between the trees in Ihe gnr
eleu iu groups representing different ee
i.igu3, Ihe favorita elevice being that
which Hymbolized chandeliers, by mo.u a
of hanging tho lanterns on hoops if
nradnated sizes, one ubove ths other, in
pyramid form. This produced an es
pucialiy flue effect ut night. There wero
in, to electric lights in the garden tbis
lime than ever before, three hanging Inn
line over tbe dancing floor und one over
the music platform, while rjeverul others
wero scattered Ihrnugh the ground", aud
one hung just in front of iho Inrgo cen
tral door of the hottl lending to tbo ga
den. Over this door is a balcony, which
was draped with red, white and bine silk
finished with gold Iringe. There were
handsome colored draperies nlso about
tbe musio platform aud dancing floor
over both were canopies formed by col
orcd ganze scarfu meeting in Ihe center
An nrcb was between this and tho musio
stand, which was draped with bright col
ored plush edged with gold fringe
The conundrum ns to why tbo city
guests nil run back home when the re
viving year mils September to tbo top,
regardless of tho weather, is one for
which Saratoga landlords would give a
grent deil for the solution aud the reme-
ly. Some any it is simply fashion, bnt
all fashions lire generally in accord will'
comfort if not with health, and this cus
tom is neither. Again, it is argued the
children have to be started to school ;but
Ihe people who bavo no children, at
school or elsewhere, and those who do
ot send thtm to tbe publio Bcbonls, bnt
toothers, which begin later, are just is
agar to pack their trunks nnd join tbe
processiou as those who must get n balf
dozen hopes of tbe future ready lor tbe
opening elay. Strong efforts have been
mini 6 in recent years to extend tbo vaca
tion period so as to Lave it include Sep
tember, and they have met with consid-
rable pnccfss. The first balf of tbe
month is now generally recognized ns
belonging to that period of tbo year
noun ns "Iho season" in tbe Saratoga
vocabulary, and all of the hotels keep
pen accordingly. Some of them, and
notably the Slates, brave it out until Oo
lober regardlets of the weather, and with
bo reducod expense account r.ud the
business brought here by the September
conventions it has been found not un
pr ifitable.
