A trip te F.itroie, a seasen at tlie seashore, summering in tlie meiintalus,all have thelr staunch advocates as belng the olio way te pass a summer and pursue and capture pleasure. I would net disparage these or any of tbcin, but aj a Lancaster girl summering lu the Tar West I would say that pleasure, llke empires; ha taken a Western loud, I wrote this letter hi the Chautauqua grounds at Het Springs, Seuth Dakota, sitting en n rock (boulder) as large ns tlie great atones used In the building of Klug Solemon's temptb, which nature 1 In " Its youth at random cast here. Man has dene nothing te beautify theso grounds. Heaven built a temple h'ire aud adorned It with a grandeur that the baud of mau could net dosccrate by change These grounds will In a thousand years be as they new are. A level amphithoatre ten acres in extent, I haded by noble elm aud ash, surrounded by u perpendicular natural wall of solid red siiml Htene fietu ene huudred te one hundred ntul llfty feet lu height. A placid stream of crystal waters, circling and washing the inner base of this natural wall, murmuring sweet music as tlie waters gllde evor the pebbled bottom. If undreds of springs bubbling up from the bottom and through the rocks of the mountain side, pure and clear from the mether spring in the heart of the mountain, many of them of the tomperaturo of about 95 dogreos (hence the Indian name of the creek, Mlnnekahta, Miime: water, Kahta : het) while in ethors near by the wuter is lce cold. These wall tops as well as the summit or the hills are crested and fringed with the evergreen pine and cedar. Nature at the place wliore the walls is the hlghest, built an " altar" and provided it with n cever, a table rock at tlie very summit about forty feet in length by eighteen feet in breadth, projecting ever the perpendicular wall ene hundred and fifty feet abeve the pulpit; this seems te be an answer te the line, " Cevor my dofouso defouso dofeuso less head with the shadow of thy wing." There is a rugged and wild grandeur about this spot that awes aud subdues; you feel that you are in a church uet built by hands. I can well undersUind the feeling of the venorable bishop of Deadwood, a few weeks age, as be steed with uncovered head, in the middle of theso grounds, and with burning words of olo elo ole quonco dedicated them as sacred te the worship of nature's Ged. Poace will new reign in this spot under the very shadow or Battle Mountain, where but a few years age the warllke Sioux and Cheyeunes fought for supremacy, where after weeks of battle an Indiaii nation was nearly wiped out, and all this bofero time, tlie leveler, has effaced the evidence? of the struggle. What a contrast ; a CJiautauquu within twonty-llve mlles of Custer City, with its history and memories I Het Springs is a resort for pleasure seek ers and invalids, where plunge baths and tub baths are onjeyod dally by many thou sands. Although this resert is in its In fancy, se many wonderful and permaiient cures have been effected by the curative qualities of the wateisthat success Is as sured. Large and costly hotels, Ural class lu their appointments, furnis.li ample ac commodations. Klegaut bath - houses, equlpixHl for (Turkish, Kussian, common, nnd all kinds of bathing, accominedato the health-seekers. Hapid City and Doudweod are distant a Tew hours ride. Hugged mountain scenery, countless mountain rills aud stroarii,dashlngcaKcades,and dig nified falls, add greatly te the lieauly of the place. During tlie heated term thcre are but a few hours In it day when It is warm, and then only in a lesser degree. The cll cll nmteisdry, thoie being but tlucoer four rainfalls during a year The sky is per fect, nearly ul ways illuminated with grand and glorious clouds. " Wind Cave," twelve miles distant, is a curious lieak of nature. Tlie entraiue is an ordinary hele in tlie ground. Yeu do de acend ten feet and meet a passageway : fel lowing that forty feet in a downward course you outer the lirst chamber, the slze of an ordinary room, from this room a iiumber of passageways lead In different directions, which when followed, lead te different rooms, some as laige ns Trinity Lutheran church room at Lsucastcr. This cave has been ponetratcd for ever two miles in ene direction. Tlie formations are peculiar and striking. At a certain season of the year thcre is a strong suction of wind, and duiiiigthe balance of tlie time a strong curicnt of air issues from the mouth. Visitors have placed numoieus llttle windmills hoie which inakeaweird and ceaseless hum. Crystal Palace is rightly named, it is the largest or the apart ments of this cave that has been explored up te this time. The " Had Lauds " begin at this point, where everything Is in a state of petiincatlen. Tills is uie specimen hunters' 1'aradlse. Our trip in Nebraska befere coming te the Springs was Interesting. We start ed fiem West Point, Neb., for the Winnebago reservation and agency, distant Irem the latter place about llfty-tive nitles ; a party ofeight.fully equipped, bent upon having a geed time, and we had it. The pruitics. rich and breed, bound by tlie horizon or. overy side, reminded ene of the nce.ni nun eternity. I knew I would only fail if 1 tried te describe them, se I desist. The soceiul day at neon we arrived at tlie Winnebago ngenuy and pitched our tent at a convenient place wliore water nnd shade mingled and contributed te our coitueri. During the early evening we drove from one Indian camp te another, In vited ourselves te outer and did enter their wigwams. They were " at home." Bqlng iccelved with a grunt we con. eluded we were wolceino. They did net dissemble and we could net make our visit even seemingly agroeable te them. The dusky maids and matrons should by all means take lessens from home of their hypocritical wliite sisters. They were having their sun dance, and during that night at,all hours as we lay in our luumi camp we could hear the monotonous and ceaseless sound of their " tem-toms," m creasing in fervency as the small hours siieccededoaeh ethor until nt early dawn it ceased. I puichased a pair of ear-rings inadouutef the caisef one of thochielH. I rested in the wigwam of Jehn A.

The people who sunt' iner at Bedford care little for dash aud style and de thelr pleasuring with mere thought of the enjoyment than of api6amnccs. They have a remarkably line orchestra here and some geed horses, but excel chiefly in geed peo ple. Lawyers, manufacturers, railroad men, representative citizens of this and neighboring state, are here in shoals with their families. The hotel register shows a geed sprinkling of Lancasler names, al ready noted in your " Summer Leisure" column, but its pages also have the signa tures of many from ether cities who are welt known socially and by reputation in your town. OnTuesday,Miss North, of Col umbia, will give a morning' gorman,tbe first of the season, but at Bedferd they nightly "tip the light fantastic" until the very reasonable hour of ten p. m. The routine 'of the day is an ca'rly morning walk te the top of ene of the hills that crowd about us, and breakfast Is always preceded by a draught of water from ene of the famous nilneral springs. After breakfast there js chatting for a whlle en the perches or the lawn, and 'then riding, driving or walking" through the forest paths te some point "of Intorest. 'Thobeautyof the moun tain sconery dodos tlie art of pen or pallet, but memory cannot fall te save it for the pleasant future use of nil who appreciate the majesty aud beauty' of nature. The view from Sunset Hill Is always ready for a ineutal photograph, bocause It is bard for mountain mist te spoil it, and the point of view is only n few minutes' walk from th6 hotel. Thoreyou see llttle Bod Bed ford town, hiding llke a pig in clever, among the steep ranges of forest-clad mountains : and evor the foreground of quickly-sloping Holds and pastures comes the tinkling of sheep bells aud the music ally mingled noises of busy life. When sunset colors nil creation, and the moon and stars begin te gleam through matvol matvel matvol eusly delicate shades of many colors, then the top of this hill is even a little better stamping ground than can be found inside the fence at Value's burning of Pompeii. Nature's pyrotechnics can nover be rivalled By the way, the pyrotechnics at Harris burg were warmly praised in my hearing by uii intelligent ironworker of Lancaster Just before I left home. He can puddle iron with the thormetnoter lu tlie nineties aud never wink as he cooks his eye befere the furnace deer, but the pronunciation of Pompeii was tee much for him. He said : " I hev been takin' a run te Harrisberg te see the buruin' of Pompy-l-I. Foine spcctackle I " The Pittsburg Dispatch hasbeen making a 11 rut-class sensation for all tills region out el the rumors afloat of the plots and in trigues ever the corpse or the old Seuth I'eun railroad. In a voluble and rather romantie letter from Bedford that paper recently drew attention te the operations of a force of surveyors known us the Cum berland Valley 1 tail read corps, new at work en the line of the Seuth Venn, and said te .be in the pay of the Pennsylvania railroad. The president of the read is Geerge F. Baer, esq., Heading, and the, urtlcle assumes that he is acting as the attorney of the Vunderbllts for tlie com pletion of the famous Seuth Venn deal with the Pennsylvania railroad, but this is smilingly denied by men who are in a position te knew all about it. Tlie Dispatch correspondent refers te the movement as the Vandorbilt-Baer combination. The surveys referred te have been lu progress forsevoral months, and thelr purpose seems te be te devise, if possible, a route that will lower the very high bridges, avoid tun nelH and cost less te build than the Seuth Venn, although the fact that nalure has only left room for one read in part of tlie reute prevents n complete change of plan. The Pennsylvania railroad is doing a heavy business with its two tracks evor tlie ineuiitaiiis,and two morearo becoming un absolute necessity. Tlie only question is whether they shall double the present line or build another and shorter route ever the remains of thelr slaughtored or sleep ing rival, tlie Seuth Peuii. Surveyors and rail i end officials are closo-meuthed, and whlle gossips are soculatlugeii the rumors, aud wondering what's up, the men who like te say they " knew that long age," " lay low " llke brer rabbit and " ain't saylu' nethiu'." What puzzles many Is the inarvoleus acrobatic ovelutlous ascribed te Mr. Baer, of the Heading; by the genius who has had a vision of " Pennsy and Vauderbill" plettiiigs among the beautiful hills aud valleys of Fulton aud Bedford counties.

The President anil Postmaster General Ask Fer Mere rower. President Harrison en Tuesday sent te Cengrens a message, accompanied by m letter from Postmaster General Wana maker, in which Congress is asked te give the pistomce department such power as will effectually step lottery companies from using the malls. The president in his mes sage says : " If the baneful effects of the lotterles were confined te the states that gave the companies corporate powers and a license te conduct a business, the citizens of. ethor states, being pewerless te apply legal remedies, might clear theuiMlves of re sponsibility bv the use of such moral agencies ns were within thelr reach. But the case is net se. The peeple or all the states are debauched nnd defrauded, The vast sums of money offered te the states for charters are drawn from the people of the United States, and the general gov ernment, through Its mall system. Is made the cffectlve and profitable medium of intercourse between tlie lottery company and its victims. Tlie use of tlie mails is qniteas essential te the companies ns the state license. It would be practically im possible for these companies te extst If the public malls were once effectually closed against their advertisements and remit tances. The use of the malls by these companies is a prostitution et an agency only Intended te serve puriwses of legiti mate trade and a decent social Intercourse. It is net necessary, I am sure, Ter me te attempt te portray the robbery of the peer and the widespread corruption or public and private morals, which nre the neces sary incidents or these lottery schemes." The mossage further utated that a vast business was belug carried en nt Washing ton by agents eT the lottery company, nnd their corrupting touch had been felt by goverment otnpieyos. In conclusion, the message asks Congress te enact such laws na will give the osteiHco department powerto crush the evll, and also regulate the carrying of lotters by tlie oxpress com panies se as te prevent tlie use or theso agencies te maintain communication bo be bo tween the lottery companies and their agents or customers In ether cities. In his lolter Mr. Wnnamnker Toels com pelled, in view or the urgent uocessltios or the case, te anticipate the annual report In regard te use or the malls by the Louisiana Lettery company. He says that, notwith standing the declaration that no letters and circulars concerning lotterles shall be car ried in the mails, and that public senti ment condemns the use of the postefllco for iottery purposes, every railway iiestal car, Star route, uieuey order and reg istry office is In nctive dally use by the Louisiana Lettery company j Hint tlie foothold or the business seems te be firmer, its operation wlder and its enter prises belder than ever bofere. Tills vast business is terribly demoralizing te the postal sei vice. The postal empleye readily assunies that n lotler directed te tlie iottery company contains money that it Is lu tlie malls In violation of tlie spirit of the law : thnt Its less would be difficult te trace, and that an attempt te punish the offender who shall abstract It will mere likely fall than prosecutions or an ordinary character, llonee the temptation te puileiu it is ex ceptionally great. The pestmaster general, in conclusion, sbites that as be is utterly powerloss te net his position is n humiliating one when he contemplates the fact that the ontire post pest post elllco department Is, in point of fact, the principal agent of the Louisiana State lxt tery company, nnd that overy oxtension of the postal system spreads the hurtful power and inllueiice or that cempauy. He pro pre scuts tlie draft of a bill, which, If unacted into law, will enable the department te get this business under control. The bill is the ene reported te the Heuso from the commilteo en postefllcns and postreads. A SHOCKING ACCII1KNT. A Greup of Children Cnuuht en u Hall- rend BridKO Three Killed.

Flve children, returning from a black berry oxveditlen willi welMlllcd baskets, started te cress tlie brldge. When nearly across the bridge, which Is without rail or root-path, the children saw a train ap proaching en the west-bound track and stepped upon the east-bound track, but n fast passonger train came niching toward them. The cliildreu'weru paralyzed with fear and crouched toirethor directly bofero the approaching train. The ongliicer saw thorn, but dared net apply the brakes sud denly, as that ceurse might have sent the train through the bridge. It was uu awful moment.

The ongineer was overcome nt the appalling sight. He had strength left, however, te stick te his pest and step the train as seen ns it had ciossed the trestle. The passengers loll the cars, nnd strong men and women felt a sickly feeling creep creop croep lug evor them as the riiualns of the three MlniHrlitHrml children met thelr uaze.

It is te be hoped that farmers and natrens wilt take no stock in these professional cattle nnd swindlers, who nre trying te disorganize our iioeplo for the purpese el breaking the inllueiice of the grauge and defeat farmers in detail nnd rob them of the victory which Is se near their grasp.
