(estimated the present year at $30,-

equal that of her gold.
, The grain markets of the world are
regulated chiefly by the quotations of
the lfark Lane Expre.. , :( ; which ac
e/17.11111E31s intlucnco to a great degree
the prices of grain in our own coun

London is in this respect of more im
portance to us than a variation at
any point' within our own borders.
—lt may be remarked here, that
in passing through that quarter of
London more widely than favorably
known- as LILLINGATE, any anticipa
tions we may ]have indulged in of
haaring some display of its reputed,
colloquial style, were doomed to ut
ter disappointment ; the fisherwomen
were there—but generally as mute as
fishes. Perhaps some one gifted in
their line of oratory might, like the
trumpeter at Killarney, have readily
called forth the classic echoes; owing
however, ;to the constitutional and
perhaps considerate diffidence of the
members of our party, no attempt of
the kind was made. Prevailing styles
too, may elitinge; in language as well
as in dress, n unfashionable as well
as 'in fashidnable quarters —in Bil
lingsgate as well as in Belgravia.
About' one-fourth of a mile east of
the Tower, are the London Docks,
covering a space of about one hill:t
ared acres: the extent and variety of
their shipping and merchandise cor
respond with the gre4tness of the
Empire and the trade Of its metropo
lis. Through the kindly proffered
attentions of au acquaintance of the
Captain's, who was connected with
the Custom House,' we visited the
Wine Vaults, embracing an extent of
twelve acres of underground, nearly
filled with casks, pipes and hogs
heads of imported wines, held in
bond for the payment of duties. The
government certainly appears to be,
a long suffering creditor, for some of
these liquors, as I was informed,
Dace remained here unreclaimed, for
a longer period than Victoria has
reigned. Even the Demon of the
Cask might well claim the English
man's privilele of grumbling at so
tedious an imprisonment in these
dark cells; where he finds no other
amusement than the profuse decora
tion of the ceiling overhead with a
remarkable species of fungus, said to
be, in fact, a result of the vinous ei
halation. Passing through the limg
alleys which intersect the intermina
ble ranges, one gets a mere inkling
of the vast amount of foreign wines
required for the arristocratic supply
of England: two-thirds of which, en
tered at the port, of London alone, in
1860, exceeded 8,000,000 of gallons ;
While to' most people the odor ofl
these enchanted caverns is not speci-'
ally disagreeable, it creates an atmos

race, it is probable, would delight
forever to breathe. To what but this
should we have traced a certain slight
but unmistakable exhilaration of spi

I perceived no diminution of my
own.
We crossed from Wapping to
Raherhithe by the Twill; TUNNEL,
a passage 1,200 feet in length; under
the bed of the river. 'Few undertak
ings, requiring so great an outlay °of
money and engineering skill, have '
proved of less account than this; as,
although London Bridge is two miles
distant, and the nearest at that, the
British public , do not take kindly to
the descent, ascent and partial obscu
rity of this Great Bore. Although
affording. abundant room, if required,
for both railway and carriage way, it
has not so far been used for vehioles,,
and even foot passengers seem few
and far between:,while it is said that
no less than 20,000 of the former,
and 170,000 of the latter cross Lon
don Bridge during the day of 24
hours.
Its construction, many years in
progress, was completed in 1843 ;
great difficulties were encountered,
chief of which seems to have been the
small space found to intervene be
tween an impracticable Underlying
bed of blue clay and the bottom
,of the
river—within only six feel of which
overhead, the excavation for a. part
of the way, had consequently to be
carried. The projector and engineer,
Manz IRAMBERT BRUNEL, was born
near Rouen, in France; political trou
bles caused his emigration, toward
the close of the last century, to the
United States; where previous t 6 his
London career, he was for.somo time
'engaged in the survey of the Cham
plain Canal. His sou, of the same
name and profession, afterwards the
builder of the Great Eastern, took his
first practical lessons in the Thames i
Tunnel—rather sharp practice, too,
by all accounts, as it was only by
swimming that he is said to have
achieved certain narrow escaped from
the breaking in of the waters.
The Thames Tunnel, a wonder in
its day, is of - little consequence in
comparison with that of Mt. Cenis,
or even the Hooaac Tunnel in our
own country. England has, however,'
a glorious chance of redeeming her
credit in this departnient by carrying
out the project now agitated, of a
sub-marine passage, over twenty
miles in length, from Dover to Calais,
on the coast of France, an undertak
ing which will, beyond peradventure,
secure the hearty applause .and con
grOulation of,the world—when coin
pleti'd.
The &alio . hours of. the day are in
many respects favorable for a travel

In farther-proof of his advantages, I
recall to mind one individual of a
pafty of three, in Switzerland, whose
return from his favorite and solitary
morning excursions, was generally
followed by wonderful accounts of
what he had meanwhile seen. To
these, (as well as to the narrator, in
view of his wakeful acting ), we were
disposed to give due credit— while I
however, they unfortunately failed of I
being realized in full to our observa
tions
at a later hour; either the op
portunity had passed, or our senses
had become mare' obtuse with the
advancing lionrs of the clay.
Early constittitidnal walks were ac
cordingly in order I,yith my ,friends
and myself in London; we tr aversed
thus at random, various streets and
squares whose names with those of
many edifices bordering on them,
had been fam.liar to the mind since
our first perusal of the story of
" Whittington and his Cat." At no
great distance wad the Blue Cud
Sehool r —its young pens oners arrayed
in blue coats and breeches of the old
Continental style ; Guildhall, Whose
two wooden giants, the wonders of
our earlier imag inations, were now,
however, gone; t :Neivgate and the old
Railey, with their inauspicious mem
ories—the former having once been
for a time the prison of Wm. Penn.
Passing through Cock Lane (whose
famous Qhosca century since, fright
ened half-London out of its proprie
ty), or perchance taking a circuit
through Prince's Street and Drury
Lane, once famous as the abodes of
high aristocracy, but now obscure
and poverty stricken, we reached the
great thoroughfare of the Strand ;
where the eye recognized at once
without enquiry, the time-honored
TEMPLE But. This ancient arch_ and
gateway carries one back to the days
when London's walls embraced au
area of less than four hundred acres;
it serves at present no practical pur
pose save to reduce the thronged
thoroughfare, at that point, to one
third its width ; yet it is regarded
with too much veneration, as a relic.
of the, past, to allow of its removal.
In days of yore, the heads of traitors
who had suffered decapitation, were I
exposed to the public gaze upon the
spikes at its summit. Entering the I
City on any public occasion, the
Queen mpst here halt to receive, per
missively, the Keys of the City from
the hands of its Lord Mayor; a mere
nominal display of the ancient rights
'and inamunities of London, as a free
corporation. Who will question but
that the Queen deserves well enough:
of her country to enjoy (in common
with even the meanest of her sub
jects), the right of ingre&r, egress and
regress,: public or private, without
question or delay ? But—
" Foo's rush in where iingels.fear to tread"' ;
royalty is "hedged about" with diffi
culties„" less than with the divinity
that Shakspeare claims for it. With
all its power and privileges, high sta
tion has too, its responsibilities and
restraints; and this is what you pro
bably understand by the phrase
" _Noblesse oblige:"
—Sometimes, descending to the
Thames, we took .the morning air up
on its waters by Means of one of the
little iron steamers that touch at in
:tercels of five minutes at each land
ing. The river, with its dark and
murky Flannel, has in itself but few
..
attract'ons ; no splendid quays of
stone, ike those of the Seine at Paris,
t
adorn nd guard its shores, except so
far as the recent undertaking of the
Westminster Embankment may have
been completed. Its bridges, how
ever, are grand monanients of, human
skill to material usefulness and archi-
tectural beauty: they are at London
some ten in while two cen
turies since the old "London Bridge"
alone spanned the Thames, and all
other transit was by. ferries.
There are, too, some magnificent
erections along its shores, which are
Seen by far to the best advantage
from the Water. Soanzusrr Houss,
(on the north shore, and just below
Waterloo Bridge), with its great ex
tent and somewLakelevated position,
affords a grand and impressive view.
This palace was erected in the 16th
century by Sbymour--knOwn as the
Good Duke t?l'Somers* uncle of Ed
ward VI., and Protector of the Retdm
during the young King's minority.
But even during his nephew's reign,
hewas brought to the' scaffold thro'
the machinations of that same Duke
of Northumberland, *hose- overleap
ing ambition' afterwards resulted in
the early doom of Lord Guilford
Dadley and Lady Jane Grey, his son
and daughter-in-law, for whom he
sought the crown and gained the
scaffold.
To Waterloo Bridge (one and, a
half miles above, London Bridge) the,
river for another mile and a half'
flows nearly due north from Vain
hall; midway of this detour, and on
the left bank, stand the Houses of
Parliament otherwise known as
Westminster Palace. Built in the
Gothic style, with its three majestic
towers and a front of 900 feet along
the Thames, alias probabably a finer
appearance than any other edifice of
London ; especially as seen from
the water, or from the vicinity of
Lambeth Palace, nearly opposite, on
the eastern shore ; the latter being
the residence of the Arch-Bishop of
Canterbury, ecclesiastical Primate of
England. „
The Parliament Buildings cover
about eight acres of ground, and
were completed in 1843, at a cost of
$8,000,000. On 6 of their towers, the
Victoria, has a height of 350 feet ;
beneath it is a noble arch, used as
the Queen's State entrance. Upon
another tower is a clock of unrivalled
workmanship, which may well claim
to be one of the grenp time-keepers
of the world; its dial !plate being no
less than 30 feet in diameter.

LETTER .FROM COLORADO.
GREELEY, Weld Co., 001., Nov. lGth, '72.
Mn. EMTOB : It has been a long
time since I have noticed any com :
munication from this place in your
paper. We of Colorado have little
cause for complaint this year. The
season has ,been, in all respects an
unusually good one. C4rooloy and
cue Union Colony are on 0.0 tagn
road to success. The heavy rain fall,
conbined with oar increased facilities
for 'irrigation, has produced ' an
enormous yield of grain. The
aver
age yield of wheat is over Vaienty-five
bushels to the acre. 'This includes
hundreds of acres of sod ground,
broken in the spring arid sowed at
once. Many fields that were culti
vated last year have returned from
thirty-seven to forty bushels per acre
this year.. One man, not owning a
team, and being too poor to hire his
land ploughed, harrowed in his
wheat on his old ground without
any other preparation, and fifteen
acres averaged thirty-five bushels per
acre ; and yet, somo people tell ns
that farming in Colorado is a failure.
I know' a good many farmers among
the hills of old Bradford, yes, and on
the Wyalusing and Susquehanna
bottoms, to, who would -like to
make a few just such " failures."
Some people, perhaps the most of
them living east of the Missouri Riv
er, who have ever given the matter a
thought, think that the labor attend
ing irrigation is so great that a man
can cultivate bat a small piece ;, let
me give you an instance : There are
three brothers named Clark living
here. They own but
.one team, and
that none of the best. They have'
cultivated this year ninety acres of
grain, and have not hired a day's
work of any kind, and have mimed
$200,00 by laboring away from home;
and they have raised a crop that
would be a credit to any country.
During October, eight car loads of
wheat were shipped from Greeley to
St._ Louis. ,There has been a great
rush of people westward this year.
More people hare crossed the plains
with their teams this year than any
other year since the completion of .
the Union _Pacific Railroad. Our
long talked of railroad, branching off
from : the Union Pacific at Jules
burg and connecting with the Colo
rado Central at Golden, is a reality
at last. Over one-fourth of the line
is already graded, and it will all be
in running order by the first of April
nests This gives us close access to
the umber in. the mountain canyons,
to the best coal mines in the Terri
tory, and opens a new market for'
our
. produce in the mining towns.
Some of our people have left for the
'diamond fields of. Arizona. We haVe
heard a great many rumors, but have
seen bat - few diamonds as yet. I
have just. returned from a, visit to
the great hunting grounds of; the
South Platte. Buffalo, in countless
thousands fill the' country ' between
the Platte and the Republican rivers.
Our warlike • neighbors, the Sioux,
were out in full force, but were won
derfally peacable, for them, although
they have illustrated the total deprav
ity of Indian nature by stealing all
the horses they could get; hold of
sinbe- our return. The people of the
west-demand a_ehange in the Indian
policy of 'the Administration, and
they intend that this demand shall
beheard and heeded. -
We have been
. visited and lectured
by -P. T. Barnum, Grace Green
wood and Mrs. Abby Sage Richard
son.
! We, of course,like all American citi
zens, took a lively interest in the
Presidential canvass - just closed.
Situated as we were, on the border
of the great battle field, we had a
good view of the conflict. ' We:saw
and deprecated the gross personali
ties which formed so large au !ele.-
tuent in thiti campaign • We were
sorry to see the character, of Gen.
Grant so vilely, assailed, all his mo
! tires impugned. -Although ', many of
us were -dissatisfied with hi!3' course
on some questions, we did not forget
the great services which he rendered
i
.... •.L.: ~,,x , _,:....•::
t(ir -t:-_..:-.
, ... \_•.., „,,..,
his country in the hour of need. 'On
the other hand, we were sorry to see
the honored name of itorice Greeley
loaded with the foulest abuse, his
every adieu twisted , and distorted,
his great services to his country, his
sympathy for-the poor and oppress
ed of every nation, Lis life-long fight
in_ the cause of temperanO, indstry,
and the abolition of , slavery, forgot
ten and ignored in a day. It will be
a glad day, indeed, when 'men will
admit that there is some honesty,
morality and good intentions, even
among men who are not i politically
on "our side." Whatever way have
been our opinions on the Presidency,
there are no Bradford' County men
here who are not heartily glad of the
election - of Judge Menu?. He is the
right man in the right place..
The indications are - that the
struggle for the admission of Colo
rado 'as a State„ will be resumed this
:winter, whether successful or not
time alone can tell. -
In conclusion, alloU- me to say to
the landless young men of Bradford,
that there js still room in the great
and bouralless West. - •
fly the tatted States Centennial Com.
To the People of the United States
The Congress of the United States
has enacted that the completion of
the One Hundreth Year of American
Independence shall be celebrated by
an International Exhibition of the
Arts, Manufactures, and. ProductS of
the soil and mine, to be held at Phil
adelphia, in 1876, and has appointed
a Commission, consisting of repre
sentatives from each State ,and ,Ter
ritory, to conduct the-celebration. •
Originating under the auspices. of
the National Legislature, controlled
by a National Commission, and de
-signed as it is to " Conunemorate the
first Century of our existence, by an'
Exhibition of the natural resources
of the Country in their development,
and of our progress in those Arts
which benefit mankind, in ,compari
son with those of older Nations," it
ia to the people at large that the
Cat4nission look for the aid which'is
necessary to make the Centennial
Celebration the greatest anniversary
the world has ever seen.
That the completion of the first
century of our existence should be
marked by some imposing demon
stration is, we believe, the patriotic
wish of the people of thawhole coun
try. The. Congress of the United
States has wisely decided that the
Birth-day of the Great Repphlie .n..
be most fitt;.o.) eelebrated by the
universal collection and d; lav of
all the trophies of its progroet% It 25
designed to bring together, within a
r.
building covering fifty acres, not on
ly the varied productions of our
mines andof the 'soil, but types of
all the intellectual, triumphs of our
citizens, specimens of - everything
that America can furnish, whether
frofii the brains or the hands of her
childrn, and thus make evident to
t
the ve rid the adi-ancement of which
' a selfgoverned people is capable.
In t is " Celebration " all nations
will li c i invited to participate ; its
chara ter being International. Eu
rope wilt display her efts and Mann
factures,,l India her curious fabrics,
ile u6ilyi opened- -Chita and Ja
pan will jay bare the treasures which
for centuries their ingenious people
have been perfecting. Each' land
will compete "in generous rivalry.for
the palm of superior excellence:
To this grand gathering every zone
will contribute its fruits and pereals.
No, mineral shall be wanting ; for
what the East .lacks the West will
supply. , Under one roof will the
South display in rich luxuriance her
growing cotton, and the North in
miniature, the ceaseless machinery
of her mills converting that 1 cotton
into cloth. Ea6ll section 'of the globe
will send its best of to this ex
hibition, and each *State of the Un
ion, as a member of one united body
politic, will show to her sister States
and to the world, how much she-can
add to the greatness of the nation of
which she is a harmonious part.
To make the - Centennial Celebra
tion such a success as the patriotism
and the pride of every American de
/mend will require the co-operation
of the people of the ;Whole country.
The United States Centennial Com
mission has received nb Government
aid, such as England extended to
her World's Fair, and France to her
Universal Exposition,' yet the labor
and responsibility imposed Upon the
Commission is as great as in either
of those, undertakings. It is esti
mated that ten , millions of dollars
will be required, and this sum Con
gress has provided shall lie raised by
stock' subscription, and that the peo
ple shall have an opportunity of sub-.
)
scribing in proportion to the popula
tion of their respective State and
Territories. ,-
The Commission looks to the un
failing' patriotism of the people of
- every section, to - see that each con
tributes its share to 'the expenses,
and receives its share'of the benefits of
hn enterprise in which all are so deep
ly interested. It would further ear
nestly urge the formation in each
State and Territory of a centennial
organization, which shall in time see
that county associations are formed,
so that when the nations are gather
edlogether in 1876 each Common
wealth can view with 'pride the con
tributions she has -made to 'the na
tional glory.
Confidently relying on the zeal
and patriotism ever displayed by
our people in every national under
taking, we pledge -and prophecy, that
the Centennial Celebration - will
worthily show how greatness, wealth
and intelligence, can he fostered by

A MOTHER'S CONTROL.
There is in many families an im
pression that the boys soon grow be
yond , their mother's control, or influ
ence, and that, while it is expected
that the girls should still be obedi
ent to their mother, the sons must at
a certain ake, be left to the control
of their father. Thus insensibly they
imbibe the feeling that . they are
-above their mother's authority. The
mother feels that she has no power
to govern them. The father's whole
mind is engrossed with other cares,
and the boys are left uncontrolled.
This is the influential 'cause of the
ruin Of thousiMds pf
Probably thereis not one -who
reads this who cannot recall to mind
many of the illustrations of
- the truth
of this statement.. Here is a son dy
ing in the forecastle of a ship, far
away upon the ocean, why is he
there, far away from his own pleas
ant fireside and the love of home?
Because his mother relinquished her ,
control over herdarling boy. Here
is a mutilated corpse upcin the bat
tle-field. The form is that of a grace
ful youth, whose fair cheek is hardly
browned by the scorching sun. Why
has this young man plunged into the
bull dog scenes of human- butchery,
and come to this untimely end ? , It
is because his mother did not try to
retain that influence which only a
mother can exert. -
PIONEER.
- The idea is, a totally etroneous
one,Ahat a son by, nature feels that
there is any inferiority in •a woman,
and that it is not manly to obey his
mother.
The natural feelilig is just the re
verse', and the judicious man feels a
peculiar pride in being obedient to
his mother. There isn chiAlrous
feeling, a sense of hOnor, connected
with such submission , which is high
ly pleasurable to every.ingenuous
mind. Napoleon, who
. was ane of
the keenest observers, attributed the
formation of his cha4acter to his
mother's influence.
"The man•," said he, ‘.," is what his
mother makes him." ,
The memories of.Wosley---who has
perhaps exerted as powerful au in
fluence as any other man upon the
destinies'of the world are filled with
illustrations of this continued influ
ence, of a mother, guiding her apos
toll-cal son in all 'the conflicts of his
laborious and-gl6rions career.
Read the letters of the mother o
John Quincy Adims,_ and you will be
at no lost to account foE, the invinci
ble moral courage, the unvarying
principle, and the almost superhu
man energy which haze shed sn'Pl.
lustre.u.'san no-
Die mind l he was ever proud to bow
in-homage:, He was always, even in
his. most exalted manhood, his mo h
er's child, ever prompt to do her
bidding, and ever feehng himself
honored in honoring her._
In. fact every young man wants to
be proud yi his mother. = He loves to
feetunder her control. He delights
in - having -a mother who is truly
capable of guiding him. And she
wl4-virtually abandcins the govern=.
inept of her boy just aae is enter
ing\upon the firey temptations of im
petuous youth, intlicta upon himan'
injury, and is almost, unpardonably
traitorous to her sacred trust. Get
the entire control of your Child in
the earliest period ,of infancy. Hold
to that
and
by affection and firm
xidss and decision, :fts - years glide
along, and your son will loVe you
and by his virtues bless you while
you live, and adore Four memory
_when you are sleeping in the dust.
And this should also be kept in
view 'by every mother in the educa
tion of her daughter: She is to be
trained up to be a wife and a moth
er. If she has a weak mind and a I
frivolons education, and has been
prepared merely to shine, while in
her teens, in the circles of pleasure,
and dsteritation, and fashion, what
will become of her when her children
gather arctpnd her knee, and herson
growing into vigorous boyhood, with
an energetic mind; is looking to her
for intellectual guidance ? He feels
ashamed of his mother ! He is inor

that woman is but a weak animal

starved ragged man to a gentleman •
hastening home one bitter cold night
"Spare a copper, sir, and God will
bless you." • .
Struck with the: fellow's mariner

"Yon look as if you bad seen 'bet

"I'm afraid I could_ hatdely do _
that," the beggar answered with a
niournfal smile. •
"Try, man, try, Here's ashilling to
sharpen your memory; only be sure
y4u speak the truth,"
- lThe man Pressed the coin tightely,
in his hand, and after thiliking for
nearly es minute, said : •
'‘To be honest with you, then I be

learning to kill time.' 'When was
a boy I had kind, loving parents, who

into the notion that life was to be

ONE MAN'S Isrixasci . ..— -Scribner's
Montiqy , affords a striking ex:min:de
af perso-nal influence.. It says :
" If the ptesident or .superintend
ent of, a railroad is a man of free - and
easy habits ; if he is in the habit of
taking a j social glass, audit is known
that h d6es so, his railroad becnmes
a canal through which a stream of
liquor flows from end to end. A rum
drinking headman reproduce's him
self at every post on the line. This is
no itnaginary, evil. Every careful
obseiver must have' noticed bo in
variably the whole line of a railtoad
takes its moral hue from the leading
men of the- corpUration. Whenever
such a man is a free - drinker, his
men are free -drinkers - ;- for no one
can • persistently discountenance l_ a
~vice which they uphold by, the prac
tice
of their daily life. A. thorough'
temperance man at the head of, a
railroad corporation is a gree4 puri
fier, and his road'is distributoil of
pure influences."

Never take the crooked path while '-

Our reputation depends, greatly'_
upon the choice of our ,companions.
Most of the shado y s that cross
our path through lifeare caused by
standing in our own light.
The minds of some people are like

Men are bornlwith two eyes,_but
with one tongue, in order that they

Give not thy tongue too . great lib
erty lest it take flie- prisoner. A
word unspoken is, like the sword in

swordis in anOther's hand. If thou
desire to be held wise, be so wise as
to hold thy tongue.
